Comparison of Different Independent Component Analysis Algorithms for Output-Only Modal Analysis by Jianying Wang, Cheng Wang, Tianshu Zhang, Bineng Zhong

“…From the principle of independent component analysis (ICA) and the uncertainty of amplitude, order, and number of source signals, this paper expounds the root reasons for modal energy uncertainty, identified order uncertainty, and modal missing in output-only modal analysis based on ICA methods. Aiming at the problem of lack of comparison and evaluation of different ICA algorithms for output-only modal analysis, this paper studies the different objective functions and optimization methods of ICA for output-only modal parameter identification. …”

The impact of grassland ecological compensation policy on overgrazing behavior of herdsmen with non-pastoral employment: evidence from Inner Mongolia, China by Wenjie Ouyang, Fang Ju, Jiali Han, Zhiyi Gai, Bao Zhang

“…Addressing this question will provide a scientific foundation for the sustainable development of grassland pastoral areas.MethodsUtilizing data from 542 herdsmen in the pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia, this paper employs a double difference model to analyze the impact of the GECP on the overgrazing behavior of herdsmen with non-pastoral employment.ResultsThe research findings indicate that: (1) The GECP exacerbates overgrazing behavior among full-time pastoral herdsmen (PH1 herdsmen) and those with non-pastoral employment at low levels (PH2 herdsmen), while it mitigates such behavior among herdsmen with non-pastoral employment at high levels (PH3 herdsmen); (2) Non-pastoral employment significantly enhances the inhibitory effects of the GECP on herdsmen’s overgrazing behavior; (3) The influence of grassland rent-in and barn feeding on herdsmen’s overgrazing behavior varies according to the levels of non-pastoral employment among herdsmen.DiscussionTherefore, this paper suggests that the government should continue to optimize the policy, along with differentiated subsidy methods and content. …”
