Effects of Large Saddle Panels on the Biomechanics of the Equine Back During Rising Trot: Preliminary Results

The saddle panels, directly in contact with the horse's back, are likely an important element to optimize the fitting of the saddle, the comfort of the horse, and subsequently, the pain management in dorsalgic horses. The aim of this study was to better understand the effect of the saddle panels on the horse's back, by evaluating a prototype saddle (comfort panels: CP) compared to a standard saddle (STD). The horse's back movements were measured using inertial measurement units (IMUs) fixed at the levels of thoracic vertebrae T6, T12, T16 (under the saddle) and lumbar vertebrae L2 and L5. The centers of mass (COMs) of the horse and the rider and limb's protraction-retraction angles, pressure between saddle and horse's back, and force on the stirrups were measured using respectively 2D motion capture, pressure mat and force sensors in the stirrup leather. Three horses were trotted at the rising trot (sitting: left diagonal-rider seated; standing: right diagonal-rider standing) by the same rider. To compare saddles, linear mixed-effects regression models were used. The estimated means (SE) were calculated. During sitting phase, pressure in the cranial and middle areas of the saddle significantly increased for CP compared to STD (+0.9 (0.2) kPa and +1.0 (0.1) kPa, respectively) whereas caudal pressure decreased (−1.8 (0.4) kPa). Concurrently, the range of motion of angles T12-T16 and T16-L2 under the saddle significantly increased (+1.8 (0.2)° and +2.3 (0.3)°, respectively). The results showed that modifications of the panels' shape not only affect the pressure distribution but also the kinematics of the thoracic and lumbar regions of the equine back.     

各向同性人造板材料弹性模量测量及其标准差评价

弹性模量是衡量人造板材料力学性能的重要指标,用标准差法对其进行综合评价尤为必要,对其实测及方差分析具有较好的应用价值。采用三点弯曲静力法和悬臂梁自由端振动法,测定各向同性HDF、三合板和OSB试材的静弹性模量和动弹性模量。在实测数据分析中,为反映总体弹性模量实测值数据集的离散程度及落在样本统计值某一区内的概率,还确定了其置信区间,评价了置信度。结果表明:各向同性人造板材料的静弹性模量和动弹性模量测试结果一致,其置信区间越大,置信水平越高。     

光伏板对吐鲁番‘无核白’葡萄叶幕微气候、叶片质量及果实品质的影响

以吐鲁番7年生‘无核白’为试验材料,研究不同密度光伏板对‘无核白’叶幕微气候、叶片质量以及果实品质的影响,旨在找到合适的光伏板密度,为葡光互补新型栽培模式的推广提供科学依据。结果表明:随着光伏板密度的增大,叶幕空气温度降低,空气相对湿度增大,光照强度显著降低。‘无核白’葡萄叶片质量、果实品质随着光伏板密度的增大呈现出先上升后下降的变化趋势,中度遮阴条件下,‘无核白’叶片的纵、横径,叶绿素含量和果实中可溶性固形物含量均表现最佳。在吐鲁番地区采用光伏板遮阴对‘无核白’葡萄叶幕微气候有显著影响,适度遮阴有利于缓解夏季高温强光对葡萄生长发育的危害,但过度遮阴会产生负面影响。在吐鲁番地区推广葡光互补栽培模式时,建议选择光伏板的间隔为1.0 m。

面向高比例分布式光伏发电消纳的复合型需求侧响应控制

在大力推进分布式光伏发电的形势下,利用负荷侧灵活性资源提升光伏消纳水平并改善电网运行经济性已成为促进新能源发展的重要措施,如何高效进行需求侧响应控制是目前该领域研究的关键问题之一。传统的峰谷分时电价仅根据区域电网内的负荷变化的总体情况确定分时段电价实现削峰填谷,该方法未考虑区域内新增电源的发电特性,从而导致负荷调整的灵活性较差,无法有效解决区域内光伏消纳的问题。该研究针对光伏装机比例较高的区域配电网尤其是乡村配电网,提出一种基于优化调整分时电价时段的激励型需求侧响应和区域集中优化调控相结合的配电网复合型需求响应控制策略。该策略首先结合负荷需求和光伏出力曲线对分时电价峰谷时段进行因地制宜的自适应调整;其次,基于新的电价时段进行用户侧分布式最优出力计划建模,并给出用户侧可削减、可时移负荷的响应调整范围的计算方法;最后由区域调度中心实现负荷集中控制。通过算例对比验证该文方法在计及用户舒适度的基础上,弃光率和系统综合运行成本较优化前均有明显降低,解决了含高比例光伏配电网的光伏消纳及经济运行问题,为配电网精细化管理水平的提升提供了理论依据。
