    Based on the actual needs of large drilling spacing, and frequent long-distance relocation of drilling rigs in coal mine underground construction, as well as the need for remote control function, a research idea of compact layout and modular design of each unit of rubber wheel directional drilling rig was adopted to solve key technical development problems, such as independent walking rubber wheel chassis, multi power output units, hydraulic system, and electrical control system. After whole machine was processed and assembled, load testing was simulated on the drilling performance test bench of the National Safety Production Inspection Center. The experiment shows that all functional parameters of the drilling rig meet the design requirements. The ZDY3500JDK rubber tyre directional drilling rig developed for coal mine meets demand for long-distance autonomous relocation underground, greatly improving the production and transportation efficiency of mine, and providing reliable equipment support for drilling construction operations in large and medium-sized mines with trackless rubber tyre transportation.

    In order to solve constrained optimization problems, a dingo optimization algorithm with ε constrained method and crisscross strategy (εCDOA) was proposed. The algorithm first introduces the crisscross strategy in dingo optimization algorithm after all individuals select one hunting strategy and update their positions, so as to improve the global and local search capabilities of the obtained algorithm, which also help the algorithm jump out of the local optimum. Then, according to ε constrained method, the equality constraints were transformed into the inequality constraints, and the ε level comparison method was used instead of fitness value comparison to evaluate the qualities of the dingoes. Finally, based on the individuals’ constraint violations, the population is divided into two subgroups according to adaptive ε values. The individuals’ survival rates were calculated using the survival strategy of each subgroup, and the individuals with low survival rates were updated. The results of numerical experiments on 19 standard constrained optimization problems in CEC 2006 show that algorithm εCDOA has better optimization performance than four comparative algorithms such as dingo optimization algorithm with ε constrained method. For three classical engineering design problems, the design schemes given by algorithm εCDOA are obviously better than those given by other algorithms.

    Underground coal mining faces hazards like gas explosions, coal dust explosions, and fires, underscoring the need for safety robotics based on 3D reconstruction. While essential for precise navigation and detection in complex environments, traditional methods fall short in data quality, accuracy, and cost. To address this, a 3D reconstruction method called 2DGS-DbTrans for underground coal mine tunnels was proposed, which is based on pure vision-based 3D reconstruction technology. To improve image resolution, a Transformer module was designed to enhance the input images, consisting of two core components: the multi-head depth convolutional axis attention mechanism and the deep convolutional gated network. In the processing workflow, sparse point clouds were first generated using Colmap, and the underground mine tunnel environment was represented by 2D Gaussian surfaces, where each Gaussian surface contains the coordinates, color, size, and orientation information of the objects. In addition, two loss functions were defined: the color loss function and the road smoothness loss function. Experimental results show that the 2DGS-DbTrans method outperforms other methods in 3D reconstruction of underground coal mine tunnels.

    To address the issues of slow convergence speed and susceptibility to local optima in ELM (electromagnetism-like mechanism) algorithm for fault location problems in distribution networks, BELM (binary electromagnetism-like mechanism) algorithm was proposed. First, the Sobol sequence was introduced to initialize the population to ensure the quality of the initial population. Second, based on the fitness value, the population was divided into a high-quality population and an ordinary population, and an optimal particle guidance strategy and a local search strategy based on the XOR operation were adopted for these two sub-populations, respectively, the former guides the high-quality particles to the potentially optimal location to accelerate the convergence speed, the latter performs global exploration and enriches the diversity of the population by exchanging information with the elite particles. Finally, the search efficiency of the algorithm was further improved by the improvement of the combined force calculation and particle movement rules. The simulation results show that compared with other algorithms, the proposed algorithm demonstrates superior accuracy and rapid convergence in locating faults within distribution networks.

    As a key equipment and a major source of energy consumption in a building, chiller plant, if it fails, it will not only affect the normal operation of the system, but also cause serious energy waste. In order to improve the reliability of chiller system operation. A multi-strategy IDBO(improved dung beetle optimization algorithm) combined with a HKELM(hybrid kernel extreme learning machine) fusion fault diagnosis model was constructed to achieve accurate diagnosis of early faults in chiller systems. The model firstly employs hybrid kernel functions to improve the learning ability and generalization of KELM(kernel-extreme learning machine). Secondly, Bernoulli mapping, adaptive inertia factor, and Levy flight fusion dynamic weight coefficients strategies were used to improve the DBO(dung beetle optimization) algorithm in order to balance the global exploration performance of the DBO algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the IDBO algorithm was verified by benchmark functions, and the HKELM hyperparameters are optimized using the IDBO algorithm to construct a data-driven model for early fault diagnosis of chiller units. Through relevant training simulations and experimental validation, the accuracy of the proposed IDBO-HKELM model for early fault diagnosis of chillers is improved to 99.71%, which is an obvious advantage over other algorithms.

    To investigate the mechanism of lncRNA (long chain non coding RNA) Rpph1 activating cytopyrosis through AMP-AMPK(activated protein kinase)/Nrf2(nuclear factor E2 related factor 2) signaling pathway, then to promote podocyte injury in DN (diabetes nephropathy). HGPC(Human glomerular podocytes) were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into control group, model group, lncRNA Rpph1 over-expression group, low-expression group, and empty vector group. HGPC were incubated with 5 mmol/L D-glucose as control group, while the other three groups were incubated with 30 mmol/L D-glucose to establish DN model. Liposome transfection method was used to co-incubate stable plasmids carrying Rpph1 over-expression, low-expression, and empty vector with HGPC. qRT-PCR was used to detect lncRNA Rpph1 expression, Western blot was used to detect p-AMPK/AMPK and Nrf2 proteins, as well as the expression levels of cytopyrosis related proteins including NLRP3(Nod like receptor thermal domain associated protein 3), caspase-1, and GSDMD-N. MTT assay was used to detect cell survival rate. Flow cytometry was used to detecte apoptosis rate. Compared with control group, the expression level of lncRNA Rpph1 in model group significantly increased (P<0.05). The expression levels of p-AMPK/AMPK, Nrf2, NLRP3, caspase-1, and GSDMD-N proteins significantly increased in model group (P<0.05). The survival rate of model group cells significantly reduced, while apoptosis rate increased in model group (P<0.05). Compared with model group and empty vector group, lncRNA Rpph1, p-AMPK/AMPK, Nrf2,NLRP3, caspase-1, and GSDMD-N proteins in lncRNA Rpph1 over-expression group significantly increased, and cell survival rate significantly reduced, apoptosis rate increased (P<0.05). The expression levels of lncRNA Rpph1, p-AMPK/AMPK, Nrf2, NLRP3, caspase-1, and GSDMD-N proteins significantly decreased in lncRNA Rpph1 low-expression group, and cell survival rate significantly increased, apoptosis rate reduced (P<0.05). In all, High expression of lncRNA Rpph1 in DN may activate cytopyrosis and promote podocyte injury by AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

    Dual-mode communication based on wireless and PLC (power line communication) can complement each other, and is widely used in smart metering and power Internet of Things. For the application of OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) dual-mode communication system in new energy low-latency service access and other applications, an OFDM subcarrier diversity combination and power adaptive allocation algorithm considering the non-ideal channel estimation was proposed. Firstly, an adaptive optimal power allocation model was established with the constraints of service data volume and transmission power and the goal of minimizing the total delay. Then, on the basis of diversity grouping, whale optimization algorithm and threshold recovery were used to optimize power allocation, to achieve the compromise between algorithm complexity and performance. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the average transmission delay and stability while satisfying constraints such as rate, providing enhanced performance guarantees for real-time data acquisition in applications such as distribution equipment status monitoring.

    The deep-sea is rich in polymetallic nodules resources that are promising for mining, but the process of mining poses a number of environmental problems, in particular the migratory diffusion of plumes formed by sediments disturbance. To evaluate the environmental impact of sediment setting behavior during polymetallic nodule mining, seafloor surface sediments and seawater from the Beijing Pioneer polymetallic nodule mining area in the northwestern Pacific Ocean were employed. Sedimentation experiments were conducted to investigate the deposition characteristics of the suspended sediments. The results indicate that the deep-sea sediments are primarily composed of viscous particles, with median particles sizes ranging from 2.57 to 4.47 μm, and maximum particle size of 66.9 μm. The relationship between settling velocity and particle size was analyzed, showing that the settling velocity of viscous particles increased due to flocculation effects. After 5 hours of sedimentation, the median particle size of suspended sediments decreased to below 0.1 μm, and the maximum optical density has observed at 14 minutes after the onset of sedimentation. A positive correlation is observed between the mass concentration and optical density of the suspension. By fitting the temporal variation of sediment mass concentration, the settling pattern is determined. The mass concentration reached its peak 14 minutes after the onset of settling, and decreased to 2.46% of the initial value after 5 hours, indicating that 97.54% of the total mass has settled. These findings provide supporting data for environmental impact assessments related to plume behavior during deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining.

    To investigate the spontaneous imbibition mechanism of shale reservoirs to fracturing fluid, the marine shale of Longmaxi Formation in Sichuan Basin and the continental shale of Yanchang Formation in Ordos Basin were taken as the research object, and the actual fracturing fluid was taken as the imbibition fluid. The spontaneous imbibition characteristics and control mechanism of marine and continental shales on fracturing fluid were studied by the spontaneous imbibition test system and the characterization methods of mineral composition and microscopic pore. The results show that the spontaneous imbibition curves of the two groups of shale increase rapidly and then decrease slowly with the increase of imbibition time, and the decrease of imbibition is mainly due to the decrease of shale weight caused by the dissolution of soluble minerals. TOC (total organic carbon) and quartz content of the two groups of shale exhibit a negative correlation with the maximum imbibition, while clay minerals, carbonate and pore volume exhibit a positive correlation with the maximum imbibition. Although the clay mineral content of Yanchang Formation shale is higher than that of Longmaxi Formation shale, its maximum imbibition is relatively low, which may be due to the more developed pore structure of Longmaxi Formation shale. The adsorption of hydrophilic minerals in shale and the capillary action of microscopic pores are the main driving forces for the spontaneous imbibition of fracturing fluid, and the influence of microscopic pores is stronger than that of hydrophilic minerals. For the flowback problem of fracturing fluid in shale gas wells, a better fracturing fluid ratio scheme can be proposed by adjusting the chemical composition of fracturing fluid and combining the spontaneous imbibition test results of fracturing fluid to meet the actual engineering needs. The research results can provide theoretical references for efficient development of shale gas.

    For the group decision-making based on generalized grey target with mixed attributes, a group information aggregation method based on an improved power-weighted averaging operator was proposed. This method takes into account the interrelationships among decision-makers and among attributes, reducing the distortion of uncertain information and simplifying the computational process. First, the mixed attribute data are uniformly measured and transformed. Then, the comprehensive weighted G-S(Gini-Simpson) index was calculated by evaluating each expert’s values relative to the target centers of all experts, to determine the objective weight of experts. Next, the differences among experts are further calculated by the comprehensive weighted G-S index. Finally, a novel information aggregation method was constructed based on the proposed improved power-weighted averaging operator to aggregate group decision-making information with mixed attributes. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method are verified by a case analysis.
