Modeling and Optimization of Complex Building Energy Systems with Deep Neural Networks
Modern buildings encompass complex dynamics of multiple electrical,
mechanical, and control systems. One of the biggest hurdles in applying
conventional model-based optimization and control methods to building energy
management is the huge cost and effort of capturing diverse and temporally
correlated dynamics. Here we propose an alternative approach which is
model-free and data-driven. By utilizing high volume of data coming from
advanced sensors, we train a deep Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) which could
accurately represent the operation's temporal dynamics of building complexes.
The trained network is then directly fitted into a constrained optimization
problem with finite horizons. By reformulating the constrained optimization as
an unconstrained optimization problem, we use iterative gradient descents
method with momentum to find optimal control inputs. Simulation results
demonstrate proposed method's improved performances over model-based approach
on both building system modeling and control
The global geometrical property of jet events in high-energy nuclear collisions
We present the first theoretical study of medium modifications of the global
geometrical pattern, i.e., transverse sphericity () distribution of
jet events with parton energy loss in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In our
investigation, POWHEG+PYTHIA is employed to make an accurate description of
transverse sphericity in the p+p baseline, which combines the next-to-leading
order (NLO) pQCD calculations with the matched parton shower (PS). The Linear
Boltzmann Transport (LBT) model of the parton energy loss is implemented to
simulate the in-medium evolution of jets. We calculate the event normalized
transverse sphericity distribution in central Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC, and
give its medium modifications. An enhancement of transverse sphericity
distribution at small region but a suppression at large
region are observed in A+A collisions as compared to their p+p references,
which indicates that in overall the geometry of jet events in Pb+Pb becomes
more pencil-like. We demonstrate that for events with 2 jets in the final-state
of heavy-ion collisions, the jet quenching makes the geometry more sphere-like
with medium-induced gluon radiation. However, for events with ~jets,
parton energy loss in the QCD medium leads to the events more pencil-like due
to jet number reduction, where less energetic jets may lose their energies and
then fall off the jet selection kinematic cut. These two effects offset each
other and in the end result in more jetty events in heavy-ion collisions
relative to that in p+p.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figure
Low-lying states in even Gd isotopes studied with five-dimensional collective Hamiltonian based on covariant density functional theory
Five-dimensional collective Hamiltonian based on the covariant density
functional theory has been applied to study the the low-lying states of
even-even Gd isotopes. The shape evolution from Gd to
Gd is presented. The experimental energy spectra and intraband
transition probabilities for the Gd isotopes are reproduced by the
present calculations. The relative ratios in present calculations are
also compared with the available interacting boson model results and
experimental data. It is found that the occupations of neutron
orbital result in the well-deformed prolate shape, and are essential for Gd
isotopes.Comment: 11pages, 10figure
