To improve the accuracy of photovoltaic power prediction, a fusion prediction model based on improved feature selection was proposed. Firstly, the Pearson correlation coefficient and the information gain method were combined to select characteristic parameters. Then, the dataset was classified to construct the single model of XGBoost, LightGBM and multilayer perceptron (MLP). Finally, a MLP with two hidden layers was used to build a fusion model. The results show that the fusion prediction model has higher prediction accuracy and stronger generalization ability than the single model, and can better meet the needs of short-term photovoltaic power prediction.

    Nowadays, intelligent manufacturing experimental practice courses have been popularized to most of the colleges in China. However, most of these courses mainly focus on teaching of assembling and operating intelligent devices such as robots and machining centers. Less attention is paid to the problem of data flow between intelligent devices. For this reason, a data acquisition experimental platform for intelligent manufacturing and the corresponding teaching program were developed in this work. In the platform, the FDM 3D printers that have been widely used in colleges were applied as the data acquisition equipment object, the cheap but fully functional Raspberry Pi was used as the data acquisition card, and the WCF application was used as the resident program. It integrated several communication forms such as serial and HTTP. With programming techniques such as Python, C#, SQL, etc., the device real-time status data were finally imported into the server database for the subsequent use. The platform architecture has a certain versatility, which is suitable for various actual industrial field data acquisition occasions. The development of the platform itself is easy and interesting, which is especially suitable for college data acquisition experimental teaching.

    In order to apply microwave irradiation (MW) in the wet blue bating process, the influence of different heating methods on 537 acid protease enzyme activity and enzymatic reaction was investigated at first, and then the effect of MW on wet blue bating process was also studied through measuring the spent component, grain morphology and leather mechanical properties. The results showed that MW had a negative effect on enzyme activity and rate of enzymatic reaction but had a positive effect on the affinity between enzyme and substrate. In the wet blue bating process under MW, there was less collagen hydrolyzed and the content of chromium releasing was only 45.54% compared with water bath heating; in addition, the shrinkage temperature, softness and tensile strength were also improved. Moreover, the bated wet blue under MW had flatter grain and stretched pores. In short, microwave irradiation could not only accelerate the rate but also improve the effect of wet blue bating process. Therefore, it would be a fast and cleaner method for leather making.

    In view of the deficiency of paying more attention to time (phase) and ignoring signal amplitude in the sound velocity measurement experiment, a signal measurement device was built in the water tank relying on the commonly used underwater acoustic detection equipment. The time difference and the peak value of voltage were obtained by oscilloscope, the sound velocity in water was calculated based on the measurement principle of time difference method, and the electroacoustic conversion was carried out to realize the synchronous measurement of sound velocity and sound pressure. The relative error between sound velocity calculation and theoretical sound velocity in pure water was 2.0%, and the relative error between sound pressure level calculation and theoretical sound propagation of spherical wave was about 6.0%. The experimental design deepens the understanding of abstract concepts such as sound pressure and sensitivity, and trains the students’ ability to use Excel for data processing.

    Rock mechanical properties have size effect, and a large number of experiments have proved that rock mechanical parameters may vary with specimen size. This important property of rock is generally ignored in the stability analysis of underground engineering. Rock mechanical property experiments with different sizes are the most basic test methods to study the rock size effect. However, the current rock experiment rules are only for rock specimens with standard sizes, and there is a lack of test methods for specimens with different sizes. Moreover, the current rock mechanics test system is only equipped with test devices for standard-size specimens, and lacks device suitable for other size specimens. This paper proposed the test piece preparation method and test procedures of rock size effect test, designed the auxiliary device of the test, and improved the test method of rock size effect. The uniaxial compression size effect test and Brazilian splitting size effect test of sandstone were carried out to study the relationship between mechanical parameters and sample size. The compressive strength and deformation modulus of sandstone decreased with an increase in the specimen size, and the tensile strength first increased and then decreased.

    The new engineering disciplines requires the cultivation of innovative and compound talents with wide caliber and thick foundation, which puts forward requirements for students’ interdisciplinary vision and cross-innovation practical ability. As a key link in talent training, practical teaching must keep pace with the times, adopt new teaching concepts, and explore teaching modes and contents that meet the needs of new engineering disciplines. General practice courses have high requirements for professional knowledge but a weak foundation of students who choose courses. In view of this outstanding contradiction, taking the Arduino car control project as an example, the outcomes-based education (OBE) and hierarchical and modular teaching ideas were adopted, and a four-link teaching system driven by interest and a multi-dimensional comprehensive assessment and evaluation mechanism were constructed. The graphical programming applications App Inventor 2 and Mixly were explored to program android phones and Arduino cars respectively, thus realizing the “black box” bluetooth remote control of Arduino cars. The results showed that the difficulty of programming was greatly reduced, the students’ interest in independent learning was stimulated, and their innovative practical ability was expanded.
