comprises the complete dismantling of the existing wind turbines and safe demolition of the concrete towers A new wind farm is then to be built on the same site and connected to the grid in 2023 The dismantling is required due to structural defects identified in the towers the entire wind farm has therefore been out of operation for months manufacturer Nordex was unable to hand over the project to the three partners RWE the city of Jüchen and the energy supplier NEW The Jüchen A 44n wind farm consists of six wind turbines One of the turbines (turbine number 4) was shut down in August last year when damage to the tower was detected the remaining five turbines were shut down as a precautionary measure and comprehensive safety measures put in place The safety precautions included an extensive cordoning off of the site and ongoing monitoring of the wind farm The manufacturer and partners have now agreed to replace the towers explains: “Safety is our top priority We have already gained initial experience in dismantling identical turbines in other German states.” RWE is supporting the work on securing the wind turbines which is being carried out by the manufacturer The aim of the project partners is to erect new turbines as quickly as possible after dismantling the old ones Grid connection of the new wind farm with six wind turbines and a total capacity of 27 megawatts is scheduled for 2023 the wind farm will be capable of generating enough green electricity to meet the average needs of more than 26,000 households The dismantling has no consequences for other wind turbines operated by RWE: RWE does not operate any further turbines with this specific tower Mayor of Jüchen: “The goal of all the project partners has been achieved: the rotors are turning and the wind farm is generating green electricity I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who ensured the dismantling and new construction work proceeded safely I am delighted that our town is contributing to the energy transition and supplying its citizens with electricity as well as benefiting from the participation model.” Managing Director of NEW Re GmbH: “Green electricity from the region for the region – this guiding principle makes a significant contribution to the success of the energy transition We need the acceptance of the local people and companies that work together successfully with the neighbouring municipalities This wind farm is an excellent example of this.” Head of the Construction Department for Wind and Solar Farms at RWE in Germany: “From liaising with the authorities to laying the last cable – all colleagues and partner companies involved have done a great job The wind farm on recultivated opencast mining land contributes to RWE’s goal of consistently expanding the share of renewable energy generation in the Rhenish mining area.” Rebuilding the wind farm was necessary because structural defects had been discovered in the concrete parts of the hybrid towers of the original wind turbines The wind farm was therefore rebuilt not only from scratch but also sustainably: Large parts of the old turbines such as nacelles hubs and rotor blades could be reused to save resources RWE holds 51 per cent of the shares in the cooperative wind farm with 49 per cent shared between the municipality of Jüchen and NEW Interested parties can find information on the wind farm at www.rwe.com/windpark-juechen The awards support early career leaders in research and education Ten UC Riverside assistant professors have received prestigious Faculty

Central Tibetan Administration has expressed deep sadness over the sad demise of former Kalon Tripa Juchen Thupten Namgyal who is remembered for his prominent service as resistant fighter against Chinese invasion in Tibet and later as the Speaker of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile from 1974-76 and in the Kashag for 15 years He breathed his last the age of 82 due to illness at a hospital in Delhi on 31 August 2011 the Kashag expressed deep condolences to his family members the administration will hold a prayer service from 2-3 pm this afternoon following which all the offices will remain close Trisur Juchen Thupten Namgyal was born in Dege district of Kham province in the year 1929 he took a keen interest in the studies of Tibetan language and Tibetan Buddhism he went to Lhasa and Sakya to study Tibetan Buddhism when the Chinese forces first started using military force in the name of liberation in Kham areas he realized the evil intentions of the Chinese communist regime were getting ready for a revolution against the Chinese communist forces He joined the resistant fighters and went twice to Lhasa as a representative of the Chu Shi Gang Druk to inform the Tibetan authorities of Chinese brutalities in Kham and to ask for military help His second trip to Lhasa in the year 1956 coincided with first conference of the Preparatory Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region he accused the Chinese of inhumane brutalities in Kham and asked them to stop the military aggression When he reached Chamdo on his way back from Lhasa the Tibetan revolution has gained so much momentum and there were protests everywhere Seeing that it is highly risky to move forward to Kham during the Tibetan people’s uprising he led a 200-strong voluntary soldiers from Kham to guard the Norbulingka Palace of His Holiness the Dalai Lama he went to live at a Tibetan settlement in Mysore where he served as group leader member of assembly and member of Co-operative Society for nine years he was elected as a member of the 5th Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile He was the Speaker of the Parliament from 8 August 1974 – 4 May 1976 he was appointed as the Kalon of Information Department of the

Introduction: Modern industrial manufacturing often requires the eight-bar stamping mechanism to have high motion accuracy and stability. To meet these stringent requirements, traditional control techniques such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control need to be improved. Methods: In this study, radial basis function neural network is introduced to improve the traditional proportional integral derivative control technique. The improved proportional integral derivative technique is applied to the modeling and optimization of eight kinds of bar stamping mechanisms. Results: Comparing the improved control technology, the experiment showed that the peak time and adjustment time of the improved technology were 0.516 s and 1.038 s, respectively, which are better than the comparative control technology. In addition, in the comparative analysis of the eight bar stamping mechanism, the proposed architecture scored 9.3 points in operational efficiency, which is significantly greater than the comparative architecture. Discussion: The results show that the combination of PID control strategy and radial basis function neural network provides a powerful tool for dynamic modeling and optimization of eight-bar stamping mechanism. It not only provides enhanced motion accuracy and stability, but also brings significant practicality to industrial manufacturing. This integration opens up new possibilities for improving the performance of complex mechanical systems to meet the evolving needs of modern manufacturing.

The expression between the three is Eq. 1 In addition, ut in Figure 1 represents the output signal of the PID, which is used to control the execution part of the system, as shown in Eq. 2 In Figure 2, the three main components of RBFNN are the input, hidden, and output layers. The input layer has several perceptual units. The hidden layer contains several hidden layer nodes, which are generally composed of Gaussian basis functions, and the Gauss function is Eq. 4 In Eq. 4, αix represents the output result of the i-th HLN. m represents the number of HLN. ci represents the center vector of the Gosky function corresponding to the i-th hidden layer node. σi represents the base width of the i-th HLN. And X represents the input sample. X contains x1,x2,⋯xn of different dimensions. The expression of the output layer is Eq. 5 PID parameter optimization process based on RBFNN J is a performance indicator used to measure system performance α and β are weight coefficients used to balance errors and control the relative importance of inputs This method can be widely applied to complex systems such as 8BSM and other similar control problems effectively improving control performance and adaptability 8BSM is a commonly used stamping equipment in industrial manufacturing, with unique design and excellent performance (Choquette et al., 2021). The core part is composed of eight connecting rods, which are connected together in a specific way, enabling the mechanism to achieve efficient and accurate stamping operations. The specific structure of 8BSM is Figure 4 The specific structure of the eight-link stamping mechanism The advantage of 8BSM lies in its high flexibility and adjustability, and its impulse pressure formula is Eq. 8 In Eq. 8, F is the punching force, which is the force exerted by the punch on the workpiece. k is a constant that is related to the geometric design and material of the linkage mechanism. l is the effective length of the punch connecting rod. θ is the angle between the punch connecting rod and the horizontal line. The expression for stamping speed is Eq. 9 Steps of dynamic modeling of eight-link stamping mechanism In Eq. 10, θ is the angle between two coordinate systems, and a,b,c is the translation distance between the two coordinate systems. These matrices can reveal the precise position and attitude information of the end effector when applied continuously, as calculated in Eq. 11 The establishment of dynamic equations requires considering the effects of multiple forces and constraints. The calculation of kinetic and potential energy of the mechanism is the core part of this process, which involves the mass, moment of inertia, velocity and angular velocity of the connecting rod, as well as the influence of elastic and damping forces. The formula for calculating kinetic energy is Eq. 12 In Eq. 12, K is the kinetic energy of the connecting rod. m is the mass of the connecting rod. v is the speed of the connecting rod. I is the moment of inertia of the connecting rod, and ω is the angular velocity of the connecting rod. The potential energy calculation formula is Eq. 13 In Eq. 13, P is the potential energy of the mechanism. k′ is the elastic coefficient. x is the deformation of the connecting rod, and c is the damping coefficient. The Lagrangian equation is an effective tool for establishing dynamic equations. By substituting the calculation results of kinetic energy and potential energy, dynamic equations describing the dynamic behavior of mechanisms can be derived. The basic form of the Lagrange equation is Eq. 14 In Eq. 14, T is the total kinetic energy of the system. qi is the generalized coordinate, and Qj is the generalized force corresponding to qi; k is the number of complete constraint equations. The process of using an improved PID controller for dynamic modeling optimization of 8BSM is Figure 6 Process of dynamic modeling optimization of eight-link stamping mechanism based on improved PID controller the dynamic model of 8BSM was first established through the application of dynamic principles and methods through in-depth research on dynamic behavior and impact force under different working conditions were understood an improved PID controller was designed and a complete control system was constructed by combining the dynamic model through simulation and experimental verification the performance of the control system can be evaluated and optimized based on actual feedback and application requirements control parameters will be continuously adjusted neural network structures will be optimized and new control strategies will be explored to continuously improve the performance and practicality of the control system This strategy not only enhances the operational efficiency and product quality of 8BSM but also provides effective control strategy ideas for similar complex systems To evaluate the improved PID performance based on RBFNN and the effectiveness of the improved PID controller based on 8BSM multiple comparative experiments were conducted in this study This chapter mainly introduces the details and result analysis of various comparative experiments PID controller parameters obtained by different methods Comparison results of dynamic characteristics of four PID controllers Step response curves of four PID controllers with two control strategies Simulation results of four different PID controllers under two control strategies In Figure 10, the simulation and experimental curve trends of the four controllers are basically consistent, and the experimental response time is longer than the simulation response time under the same conditions. In Figure 10A, compared to Z-N PID, Chaotic PID reaches stability earlier. In Figure 10B, compared to GA PID, the RBF-PID controller reaches stability earlier. By comparing Figures 10A, B RBF-PID has the shortest time to reach stability The above results indicate that the control effect of RBF-PID controller is better and it is effective To analyze the actual effect of the proposed dynamic modeling optimization of 8BSM based on improved PID controller, this study will compare the performance of the optimized 8BSM and the pre optimized 8BSM using this method. Table 1 shows the environmental parameters for the comparative experiment Compare the performance of two types of 8BSM under the conditions of Table 1, and use dynamic response index and control performance index as comparison indicators. The performance comparison results of the two types of 8BSM are shown in Table 2 and adjustment time of the optimized 8BSM are 0.5 s and stability of the optimized 8BSM are significantly better than before optimization This result indicates that the proposed optimization scheme has a significant optimization effect on 8BSM Comparison of indicators of eight-link stamping mechanism before and after optimization the average product quality score of Institution 1 is 9.2 points significantly better than the 7.9 points of Institution 2 and the 8.2 points of Institution 3 Four groups of experts compared the scores of three different eight stamping mechanisms The complex DCs and external interference of 8BSM make improving its motion accuracy and stability a challenge this study adopted a combination of RBFNN and PID control methods and then applied the improved PID control technology to the optimization of 8BSM Through comparative analysis of PID control technology based on RBFNN experimental data proved that the proposed improved PID owned adjustment time which are significantly better than the comparison controller The empirical analysis of 8BSM showed that the rise time and adjustment time of the optimized 8BSM were 0.5 s which are all better than before optimization and stability of the optimized 8BSM were significantly better than before optimization The above results indicate that the proposed eight link dynamic modeling optimization based on improved PID control has a good improvement effect on the eight link system and can be applied in practical production Although the research has achieved remarkable results in the optimization of the eight-link stamping mechanism the study was mainly carried out under ideal experimental environment and did not fully consider the complex working conditions and uncertain factors in practical applications which have adverse effects on the control effect it is necessary to study how to maintain system stability in complex environment the study does not involve other advanced strategies such as fuzzy control and sliding mode control which may perform better in some scenarios so a combination of multiple control strategies can be considered in the future the research has not yet delved into practical application challenges such as scalability and adaptability to different real-world environments the size and complexity of the stamping mechanism may vary greatly and different production environments may also put different requirements on the performance of the control system how to design a control system with good scalability and adaptability to meet the needs of stamping mechanisms in different scales and environments is an important problem to be solved in future research The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/Supplementary Material further inquiries can be directed to the corresponding author The author(s) declare financial support was received for the research The research is supported by the Anhui Provincial Excellent Youth Talent Support Program titled “Dynamic Simulation and Stability Research of Eight Link Stamping Mechanisms” (No gxyq2022143) and the Natural Science Research Project of Anhui Provincial Department of Education titled “Research and Optimization of Kinematic Stability of Eight Link Stamping Mechanisms” (No 2023AH052823);

interfaces remains puzzling An ongoing debate concerns the nature of interfacial water at a hydrophilic surface a complete picture of the distribution of the water molecule structure and molecular interactions has to be obtained in a non-invasive way and on an ultrafast time scale We developed a new experimental technique that extends the classical acoustic technique to the molecular level Using nanoacoustic waves with a femtosecond pulsewidth and an ångström resolution to noninvasively diagnose the hydration structure distribution at ambient solid/water interface we performed a complete mapping of the viscoelastic properties and of the density in the whole interfacial water region at hydrophilic surfaces Our results suggest that water in the interfacial region possesses mixed properties and that the different pictures obtained up to now can be unified we discuss the effect of the interfacial water structure on the abnormal thermal transport properties of solid/liquid interfaces the ångström-scale feature and the picosecond relaxation dynamics of water have made it challenging to experimentally understand how the water molecules interact with the substrate and with each other With an ultrahigh spatial resolution and picometer-level displacement as perturbations in the measurement nano-ultrasonics technique could provide the first ever noninvasive measurement of mass density and visco-elastic properties of interfacial water at an ambient solid surface with both high temporal and spatial resolutions indicates that the liquid water next to our studied specific solid surface can be 5 times denser and 2 times more rigid than bulk water The observed high mass density and high elastic modulus combined to the low acoustic losses close to the surface reveal an almost solid like structure of water and strong interactions between water molecules and the studied hydrophilic surface the high acoustic dissipation shows that this interfacial water layer is more viscous than bulk water Our study indicates that the femtosecond nanoultrasonics can directly access the mass density and elastic/inelastic properties of interfacial water layers with a 3Å spatial resolution providing key information for energy transfer at solid-water interface as well as the structure and the bonding strength of the interfacial hydration water (a) Schematic representation of the experimental configuration (b) Photograph of the microfluidic channel (c) X-ray photoelectron spectrum of the sample We find a concentration of 38% for Al and 62% for O This ratio means that Al and O are in stoichiometric quantity and so the adsorption of oxygen at the bare Al2O3 surface is relatively small (a) Transient transmission changes (ΔT) obtained at a pump and probe wavelength of 400 nm with and without water (b) Transient transmission changes induced by the acoustic waves reflected by the Al2O3/air or Al2O3/water after subtraction of the other contributions Inset: Frequency dependent acoustic reflectivity obtained experimentally or using continuum elastic theory (CET) in good agreement with the expected round trip time for the acoustic waves reflected by the GaN/Al2O3 interface The second echo corresponds to the acoustic waves that travel from the SQW to the Al2O3/air or Al2O3/water interface and back to SQW One remarks a good agreement at low frequency (<0.2 THz) the reflection is weaker than calculated with CET short wavelength acoustic waves are sensitive to the microscopic structure of water at the interface and water cannot be considered as a homogeneous medium anymore (a) The laterally-homogenous experimental system can be considered as an ultrasonic A-scan system (b) Amplitude of the acoustic reflectivity of the GaN/air interface simulation of the reflectivity using continuum elasticity theory and best fitted result using our algorithm (c) Phase of the acoustic reflectivity of the GaN/air interface (d–f) The spatial distribution of the density elastic modulus and viscosity for water at the interface with amorphous Al2O3 obtained by fitting the complex reflection spectrum All data are normalized to the values of bulk water The origin of the x-axis corresponds to the center of the atomic plane terminating the Al2O3 surface In a zone extending from the surface to 1 nm from it as well as the bulk modulus and the damping of water are different from bulk water we observe that the local density is up to five times higher than bulk water revealing a solid-like layer and thus a good ordering close to the surface A consequence of this structure can be seen by observing the profile of the bulk modulus due to this high density the average bonding between water molecules become stronger and thus the bulk modulus higher Contrarily to the density and the bulk modulus the viscosity is not monotonically varying towards the value in bulk water which means that the acoustic energy is not easily dissipated Low acoustic losses at the surface of Al2O3 is a clear consequence of the organized structure and reveals that water is behaving as a solid since it has a high density strong bonding and dissipate acoustic energy as a solid the attenuation of ultrasound is mostly due to molecular motion so that the expression of viscosity is given by: where η is the dynamic viscosity and ηb is the bulk viscosity the high viscosity therefore means that water molecules have a longer relaxation time than bulk water the high density means that the molecules are more closely packed and therefore that their degrees of freedom are restrained It suggests that the structural relaxation of water molecules takes longer time The absence of this feature would make the roughness-scattering the dominant effect to determine the frequency-dependent thermal boundary resistance while the influence of the interfacial water will be diminished When the acoustic pulse echo returned and passed through the InGaN SQW again the strain-pattern-induced optical transient transmissivity change due to the quantum confined Franz-Keldish effect was subsequently measured by the probe beam with an optical delay time controlled by a mechanical translational stage pump beam was chopped by an acousto-optic modulator and the signal of probe beam detected by a photodiode was demodulated by a lock-in amplifier Typical pump fluence and focused spot diameter were 80 µJ/cm2 and ~30 µm exciting one-dimensional acoustic pulses with ~10−4 strain in the solid In order to ensure in situ measurements with and without water loading the pump and probe beams were incident from the sapphire side of the sample The opto-acoustic transducer is a 3 nm-thick In0.1Ga0.9N single quantum well grown by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) on a 2 μm-thick GaN buffer layer with a 300 µm-thick sapphire substrate On top of the opto-acoustic transducer is an 40 nm-thick p-GaN cap layer with a root-mean-square roughness around 1.2Å on the Ga-terminated GaN(0001) surface A 10 nm layer of amorphous Al2O3 was deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) The water used in this work is liquid chromatography (L To prevent water evaporation and enable precise positioning a microfluidic channel was fabricated to facilitate water loading The microfluidic channel is formed by bonding the sample surface and a BK7 glass by ultraviolet curing of an optical adhesive (NOA81) The BK7 glass surface was laser patterned to define the channel of water flow The surface condition was carefully characterized by AFM (Veeco innova) before the nanoultrasonic experiments Topographical images were obtained with a silicon tip in tapping mode The surface topographical images of the Al2O3 surfaces were then treated by using image processing software to obtain the root-mean-square roughness 5 × 5 and 10 × 10 µm2 images on various locations of the sample surfaces were obtained to verify the homogeneity of the roughness the pollution at the sample surfaces was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (VG Scientific ESCALAB 250) The experiments were performed at a pressure of 1.10−10 Torr with a monochromatic X-Ray source at 1486.6 eV The spot
