Abstract Real-time modeling of the water distribution system (WDS) is a critical step for the control and operation of such systems. The nodal water demand as the most important time-varying parameter must be estimated in real-time. The computational burden of nodal water demand estimation is intensive, leading to inefficiency for the modeling of the large-scale network. The Jacobian matrix computation and Hessian matrix inversion are the processes that dominate the main computation time. To address this problem, an approach to shorten the computational time for the real-time demand estimation in the large-scale network is proposed. The approach can efficiently compute the Jacobian matrix based on solving a system of linear equations, and a Hessian matrix inversion method based on matrix partition and Iterative Woodbury-Matrix-Identity Formula is proposed. The developed approach is applied to a large-scale network, of which the number of nodal water demand is 12523, and the number of measurements ranging from 10 to 2000. Results show that the time consumptions of both Jacobian computation and Hessian matrix inversion are significantly shortened compared with the existing approach.

The current data collection of a network device in the network management system exists low real-time and long polling cycle, this paper proposes a subnet broadcast algorithm based on SNMP. The algorithm introduces the idea of Subnet division and broadcasting, when polling, the algorithm polled network devices by sending a SNMP data broadcast packet to each subnet, which reduced the polling packets, shortened the polling cycle and lightened the burden of management station, thus the proposed algorithm improves real-time and work efficiency for the large-scale network management system.

It has recently been shown that acute stress affects the allocation of neural resources between large-scale brain networks, and the balance between the executive control network and the salience network in particular. Maladaptation of this dynamic resource reallocation process is thought to play a major role in stress-related psychopathology, suggesting that stress resilience may be determined by the retained ability to adaptively reallocate neural resources between these two networks. Actively training this ability could hence be a potentially promising way to increase resilience in individuals at risk for developing stress-related symptomatology. Using real-time functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, the current study investigated whether individuals can learn to self-regulate stress-related large-scale network balance. Participants were engaged in a bidirectional and implicit real-time fMRI neurofeedback paradigm in which they were intermittently provided with a visual representation of the difference signal between the average activation of the salience and executive control networks, and tasked with attempting to self-regulate this signal. Our results show that, given feedback about their performance over three training sessions, participants were able to (1) learn strategies to differentially control the balance between SN and ECN activation on demand, as well as (2) successfully transfer this newly learned skill to a situation where they (a) did not receive any feedback anymore, and (b) were exposed to an acute stressor in form of the prospect of a mild electric stimulation. The current study hence constitutes an important first successful demonstration of neurofeedback training based on stress-related large-scale network balance - a novel approach that has the potential to train control over the central response to stressors in real-life and could build the foundation for future clinical interventions that aim at increasing resilience.

Time-dependent origin–destination (OD) demand estimation using link traffic data in a large-scale network is a highly underdetermined problem. As a result, providing an accurate initial solution is crucial for obtaining a more reliable estimated demand. In this paper, we discuss the necessity of having a comprehensive demand profiling model that considers the spatial differences of OD pairs and we demonstrate its application in the calibration of large-scale traffic assignment models. First, we apply a departure choice model that adds a time dimension to the OD demand flows concerning their spatial differences. The time-profiled demand is then fed into the time-dependent OD demand estimation problem for further adjustment. Results show that in addition to reducing the error between simulation outputs and the observed link counts, the estimated demand profile more accurately reflects the spatial correlation of the OD pairs in the large-scale network being studied. Results provide practical insights into deployment and calibration of simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment models.
