Speech Title: Agent-based Modeling and Simulation for Pollination Ecology and Applications in Agroecosystems
Abstract: Agroecosystems are the ecosystems supporting the food production. In most cases, pollination activities, are the most important and complex processes in which animals, plants, microbes, and other living organisms and their environment are interdependent and regularly interact. However, the high variability of plants in spatial and genetic structure, in combination with foraging behavior varying between species, and the complexity of these factors interacting over time and space, are major obstacles to understanding of pollination dynamics subject to environmental change. The agent-based modeling and simulation paradigm provides an ideal approach to bridging the gap between known mechanisms of individual organisms and unknown spatial-temporal dynamics of pollination at the field scale. By linking empirical data to stochastically-based ecological process modeling, we present a Spatially-explicit Agent-based simulation model that enables exploration of how various factors, including plant spatial arrangements, outcrossing and self-pollination, bee species compositions and weather conditions, in isolation and combination, affect pollination efficiency. The firmly validated open-source model is a useful tool for hypothesis testing and theory development for pollination researches, particularly for understanding pollination services and their functionalities shaping agroecosystems’ productivity.

Speech Title:
Finite element simulation on the fracture probability of photovoltaic monocrystalline silicon wafers
Abstract: Vigorously developing solar photovoltaic power generation is an important measure to achieve the goal of "double carbon". At present, photovoltaic silicon crystal cells are developing towards large size and ultra-thin, and the as-cut wafer breaking in diamond wire slicing is prominent in the manufacturing. Due to the decreasing kerf width, Adjacent silicon wafers will adhere together due to the capillary phenomenon of cutting fluid between the kerf, causing bending stress on the silicon wafers. This report introduces the application of finite element simulation method to calculate the coupled stress of silicon wafer bending stress, sawing thermal stress, and sawing mechanical stress during the sawing process. Furthermore, based on the Weibull probability function, the probability of silicon wafer breakage under maximum coupling stress was predicted.
