Software systems monitoring civil structures over their lifetime are exposed to the risk of aging much faster than themselves. This can be minimized if we use models describing structure, geometry, processes, interaction, and assessment as well data collected a structure. They considered unity together with These constitute digital twin such which through appropriate operative services remain in permanent thus co-evolve structure even long-lasting lifetime. Even though research on twins for has grown last few years, engineering heterogeneous sources is still challenging. Within this article, describe used within all phases whole life cycle. We identify from computer science, engineering, mechanical business management domains specifically relevant purpose, they seem cover aspects sustainable at best discuss them using dam an example. Moreover, challenges creating different scenarios improving sustainability structures, evaluating risks, twins, parallel software object evolution, changing technologies stacks. show how holistic view perspectives helps overcome raises new ones. The consideration these enables long-term support structureswhile simultaneously opening up paths needs digitalization structures.

A digital twin-based energy-efficient wireless multimedia sensor network for waterbirds monitoring

Future Generation Computer Systems, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 155, С. 146 - 163

Wetlands play a critical role in maintaining the global climate, regulating hydrological cycle, and protecting human health. However, they are rapidly disappearing due to activities. Waterbirds valuable bio-indicators of wetland health, but it is challenging monitor them effectively. Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) offer promising technology for monitoring wetlands. Nonetheless, these networks constrained terms energy, also encounter challenges associated with large-scale deployments under natural environmental conditions. These conditions introduce harsh circumstances that may not have been anticipated during pre-deployment testing phase. This paper proposes Digital Twin (DT) based energy-efficient WMSN system specifically tailored waterbirds The utilizes unique approach combines local audio identification image compression DT optimize network performance minimize energy consumption. To reduce unnecessary transmissions, employs real-time, low-complexity phase before triggering capture. A denoising step employed achieve highly accurate bird recognition despite surrounding noises. Each undergoes scheme prior transmission, further enhancing efficiency. enhance system's overall efficiency effectiveness, integrated create real-time replicas application. synergistic interaction between two DTs enables cooperative data-making decision ensures both QoS (Quality Service) QoE Experience) requirements met. Transmission rate control done using fuzzy logic decision-making technique. Real-time feedback provides rapid analysis current state WMSN, allowing dynamic adjustments. "what-if scenarios" feature implemented has effectively leveraged find most suitable settings controller. effectiveness enhancements achieved by integrating into our WMSN-based surveillance validated through comprehensive experiments scenarios correspond real-world wetland. Comparative analyses demonstrate undeniable benefits DT-integrated compared conventional setup. In particular, results superior efficiency, capabilities, ability handle multiple video sources.

Water Dams: From Ancient to Present Times and into the Future

Water, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(13), С. 1889 - 1889

Опубликована: Июль 1, 2024

Since ancient times, dams have been built to store water, control rivers, and irrigate agricultural land meet human needs. By the end of 19th century, hydroelectric power stations arose extended purposes dams. Today, can be seen as part renewable energy supply infrastructure. The word dam comes from French is defined in dictionaries using words like strange, dike, obstacle. In other words, a structure that stores water directs it desired location, with being front river valleys. Dams on rivers serve various such drinking irrigation, flood control, industrial generation, recreation, movement solids, fisheries. also catchment area capture rainwater arid semi-arid areas. concrete or natural materials earth rock. There are types dams: embankment (earth-fill dams, rock-fill faces) rigid (gravity rolled compacted arch buttress dams). A gravity straight wall stone masonry earthen material withstand full force pressure. pressure transfers vertical compressive forces horizontal shear foundations beneath dam. strength ultimately depends its weight foundations. Most times were constructed An dam, hand, has convex curved surface faces water. generated by transferred sides lines. horizontal, normal, resist at edges. When viewed section, an shape. This type due particular shape allows transfer stored rock article takes detailed look hydraulic engineering over millennia.

Digital twins of the Earth with and for humans

Communications Earth & Environment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 5(1)

Опубликована: Авг. 27, 2024

Digital twins of the Earth are digital representations system, spanning scales and domains. Their purpose is to monitor, forecast assess system consequences human interventions on system. Providing users with capability interact interrogate decision support systems for addressing environmental challenges. By informing humans their impact aspire promote new pathways moving forward. answering causal queries through intervention analysis, they can enhance evidence-based policy making. Existing primarily technological information that represent physical world. However, as social worlds intrinsically interconnected, we argue must be accounted both within outside Earth: Within impacts responses integral system; govern access development guide responsible use acquired from twins. Incorporating interactions in represents a transformative frontier, promising unparalleled insights into dynamics empower action. Humans represented Earth, but also play role usage, argues perspective based interdisciplinary scientific expert viewpoints.
