A Class of Second-Order Consensus Protocol in Multi-Agent Systems with Multiple Input Delays

This paper is concerned with the consensus problems for second-order multi-agent systems with multiple input delays. Different from all standard consensus algorithms with uniform delays, the authors aim to find the largest input-delay margin which can guarantee the consensus for the case when delays are nonuniform. Based on frequency domain analysis and matrix theory, an upper bound for maximum tolerable input-delay is given in terms of the relationship with scaling strengths and largest eigenvalue of the Lapalician matrix. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the obtained results.

Diet composition of an invasive population of Lithobates catesbeianus (American Bullfrog) from Argentina

The American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus has been introduced around the world, with invasive populations reported from almost all South American countries. A population of this species was introduced in the Calingasta department of San Juan province, which is an arid environment in western Argentina. This work provides information on the dietary composition of an invasive population of L. catesbeianus, and compares the degree of dietary overlap between adults and juveniles. Stomach contents of 169 bullfrogs (82 adults and 87 juveniles) were analysed. Adults consumed 40 prey taxa and Hymenoptera (Insecta) was the most numerous prey item (41.8%), followed by Araneae (13.6%) and Aeglidae (13.4%). Juveniles consumed 29 prey taxa and Hymenoptera constituted the highest percentage in prey number (77.2%). The trophic overlap niche index at the same level shows a value of 0.64 overlap in dietary community between adults and juveniles of this bullfrog. Aeglidae was volumetrically the most important trophic item (25.4%), followed by Anura (25.02%). Our results showed that cannibalism in bullfrogs is more common than the consumption of native anurans, coinciding with that reported in other populations of introduced bullfrogs. The high similarity in the diets of both size classes and the association between the size of the predator and prey suggest that the impact caused by bullfrogs throughout their ontogeny is high and probably has an impact on their prey. Freshwater crabs are the main items in the diet of Lithobates catesbeianus in other introduced populations and are usually the most conspicuous at our study site. The crabs in freshwater ecosystems are part of the lowest trophic level in the food chain. The major threats to the southern region’s freshwater crabs include deforestation, farming and exotic species. Lithobates catesbeianus has a generalist diet and high overlap between adults and juveniles.

考虑随机性和服务水平的地铁站自动售票机仿真优化配置

为优化配置地铁站的自动售票机数目,将自动售票过程抽象为具有状态相关性和容量限制的单服务台排队系统.基于实际调查数据发现,客流到达间隔和自动售票时间分别服从对数正态分布和伽马分布;根据地铁设计规范,将排队区域行人的等待忍耐极限转化为排队系统容量.在此基础上,利用Anylogic软件设计排队系统仿真优化实验,获取不同服务水平等级下的最优自动售票机台数.最后,对排队系统仿真实验进行微观仿真验证.结果表明,排队系统仿真与微观仿真实验结果高度吻合,由此证明了所提方法的可信度和适用性.     

Identification of proteinaceous binding media for the polychrome terracotta army of Emperor Qin Shihuang by MALDI-TOF-MS

A proteinaceous binding media for the polychrome terracotta army of Emperor Qin Shihuang has been identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS).Methods for the preparation of the model samples and the elimination of interferences have been evaluated,as well as ageing processes.A method involving the complexation of EDTA in combination with dialysis was used to eliminate any interference in the polychrome layers taken from the historical samples.The model samples were aged by being buried in loess to replicate the ageing process of the historical samples as closely as possible.The optimum conditions for the extraction and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of the extracted protein were investigated.Under the optimized conditions,the‘‘peptide mass fingerprints’’of the proteinaceous binding media from the historical and model samples were determined by MALDITOF-MS.The results revealed that animal glue was used as the binding media for the polychrome layers of Emperor Qin Shihuang’s terracotta army.It also shows that animal glue used as binding media has a long history in China.
