  • Patent number: 11550976
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a node flow optimization distribution method for improving the accuracy of transient hydraulic simulation of a water supply in-series pipeline. The present invention optimizes the flow distribution coefficients of intermediate nodes to minimize the impact thereof on the calculation and analysis of transient flow. Further, the simplified error generated by the node flow distribution can be quantified and evaluated by the control threshold of the simplified errors to achieve effective control of the simplified process. In addition, the simplified operation of the method of the present invention is carried out sequentially from the intermediate node with the smallest simplified error, which effectively overcomes the potential defect of the conventional node flow distribution that leads to a significant reduction in the accuracy of the model, and can ensure the reliability and accuracy of the simplified operation of the same-diameter in-series pipeline.

  • Patent number: 11326977
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the field of municipal engineering and urban water supply network, and provides an efficient method for localizing leaks in a districted metering area (DMA) of water supply pipe networks based on valve operations and online water metering, which is implemented in multiple stages to gradually reduce the leaking area. At each stage, the DMA is firstly decomposed into two sub-areas using an optimized valve operation strategy determined by a minimized objective function, wherein a graph theory-based method is used for the solution. Then the sub-areas containing leaks are identified through online water balance analysis based on smart demand meters, thereby reducing the leaking area. The minimum leaking area is identified with the least number of valve operations. Compared with the traditional methods, the method of the present disclosure can obviously improve the efficiency and accuracy of leak localization and is easy to implement.

    Abstract: A method for stabilizing an alpha helix of a polypeptide includes steps of: (1) connecting an unnatural amino acid to an amino terminus of the polypeptide and end-capping via an acetylation; (2) processing a product of the step (1) with a thiolene reaction and obtaining a polypeptide compound having a modification of thioether side chains; (3) oxidizing the polypeptide compound having the modification of the thioether side chains, and obtaining a polypeptide compound having a modification of R-configured sulfoxide side chains or S-configured sulfoxide side chains; (4) separating and purifying a product of the step (3), and obtaining the modification of the R-configured sulfoxide side chains. CD diagrams show that, via chiral sulfoxide side chains, the method has good performance on stabilizing the alpha helix of the polypeptide and good tolerance to a polypeptide sequence.
