The food supply chain's heavy reliance on electricity poses significant vulnerabilities in the event of prolonged and widespread power disruptions. This study introduces a system-dynamics model that integrates five critical infrastructures-electric grid, liquid fossil fuels, Internet, transportation, and human workforce-to evaluate the resilience of food supply chains to major power outages. We validated the model using the 2019 Venezuelan blackouts as a case study, demonstrating its predictive validity. We then explored how more extreme electricity losses would disrupt the supply chain. More specifically, we modeled the impact of a large-scale cyberattack on the US electric grid and a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) event. A cyberattack severely damaging the US electric grid and allowing for recovery within a few weeks or months would lead to substantial drops in food consumption. However, it would likely still be possible to provide adequate calories to everyone, assuming that food is equitably distributed. In contrast, a year-long recovery from a HEMP event affecting most of the continental United States could precipitate a state of famine. Our analysis represents a first attempt at quantifying how food availability progressively worsens as power outages extend over time. Our open-source model is made publicly available, and we encourage its application to other catastrophic scenarios beyond those specifically considered in this work (for example, extreme solar storms, high-lethality pandemics).

流水车间加工信息的有效测度是实施加工批量决策的前提.当前多品种小批量生产信息控制研究多以生产技术、范式及智能算法等理论优化工作为主,极少开展生产的加工批量与其状态控制所需信息之间关系的研究,导致研究结论过于理论化而难以应用于现实生产.针对此研究局限性,本文从信息论角度出发,根据制造马尔科夫过程,定义流水车间的加工批量信息熵并解析其度量特性.进一步,构建流水车间加工批量信息熵函数,理论上证明其函数单调递减性.通过建立流水车间加工批次信息测度模型,确定生产线批次加工信息的组成结构,实现对工件加工所需信息量的测度.实证研究中,将平均调整准备时间、平均加工时间及完工时间等观测数据应用于实际企业的减速器生产线,做出不同参量与加工批量变化关系图,确定相关参数条件下生产线的最优加工批量.根据研究结果,提出有效减少管理与控制生产线所需信息量的对策,在验证所建熵模型科学性与有效性的同时,也为实际生产中的批量决策提供准确的现实指导.

There are three distinct genetic systems in higher plants,the dominant nuclear genome and the semi-autonomous organelle genomes(plastids and mitochondria).In contrast to the conserved plastid genome(plastome),the plant mitochondrial genome(mitogenome)is characterized by an intriguing“evolutionary paradox”distinguished by a remarkably low mutation rate but with a significantly high rearrangement rate(Palmer and Herbon,1988;Lai et al.,2022).
