The primary objective is to explore the unknown environments to locate and track targets effectively. To address this problem, we propose a novel Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) method based on Graph Neural Network (GNN). Firstly, a method is introduced for encoding continuous-space multi-UAV problem data into spatial graphs which establish essential relationships among agents, obstacles, and targets. Secondly, a Graph AttenTion network (GAT) model is presented, which focuses exclusively on adjacent nodes, learns attention weights adaptively and allows agents to better process information in dynamic environments. Reward functions are specifically designed to tackle exploration challenges in environments with sparse rewards. By introducing a framework that integrates centralized training and distributed execution, the advancement of models is facilitated. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing MARL method in search rate and tracking performance with less collisions. The experiments show that the proposed method can be extended to applications with a larger number of agents, which provides a potential solution to the challenging problem of multi-UAV autonomous tracking in dynamic unknown environments.展开更多

In this study, cement, an alkaline solution, and glass fiber were used to reinforce GRS. The effects of cement content and SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of the alkaline solution on the static and dynamic strengths of GRS were discussed. Microscopically, the reinforcement mechanism and coupling effect were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the addition of 2% cement and an alkaline solution with an SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of 0.5 led to the densest matrix, lowest porosity, and highest static compressive strength, which was 4994 kPa with a dynamic impact resistance of 75.4 kN after adding glass fiber. The compressive strength and dynamic impact resistance were a result of the coupling effect of cement hydration, a pozzolanic reaction of clay minerals in the GRS, and the alkali activation of clay minerals. Excessive cement addition or an excessively high SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio in the alkaline solution can have negative effects, such as the destruction of C-(A)-S-H gels by the alkaline solution and hindering the production of N-A-S-H gels. This can result in damage to the matrix of reinforced GRS, leading to a decrease in both static and dynamic strengths. This study suggests that further research is required to gain a more precise understanding of the effects of this mixture in terms of reducing our carbon footprint and optimizing its properties. The findings indicate that cement and alkaline solution are appropriate for GRS and that the reinforced GRS can be used for high-strength foundation and embankment construction. The study provides an analysis of strategies for mitigating and managing GRS slope failures, as well as enhancing roadbed performance.展开更多

文摘Grouting has been the most effective approach to mitigate water inrush disasters in underground engineering due to its ability to plug groundwater and enhance rock strength.Nevertheless,there is a lack of potent numerical tools for assessing the grouting effectiveness in water-rich fractured strata.In this study,the hydro-mechanical coupled discontinuous deformation analysis(HM-DDA)is inaugurally extended to simulate the grouting process in a water-rich discrete fracture network(DFN),including the slurry migration,fracture dilation,water plugging in a seepage field,and joint reinforcement after coagulation.To validate the capabilities of the developed method,several numerical examples are conducted incorporating the Newtonian fluid and Bingham slurry.The simulation results closely align with the analytical solutions.Additionally,a set of compression tests is conducted on the fresh and grouted rock specimens to verify the reinforcement method and calibrate the rational properties of reinforced joints.An engineering-scale model based on a real water inrush case of the Yonglian tunnel in a water-rich fractured zone has been established.The model demonstrates the effectiveness of grouting reinforcement in mitigating water inrush disaster.The results indicate that increased grouting pressure greatly affects the regulation of water outflow from the tunnel face and the prevention of rock detachment face after excavation.

文摘Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning(MARL)is a key technology for enabling cooperation in complex multi-agent systems.It has achieved remarkable progress in areas such as gaming,autonomous driving,and multi-robot control.Empowering cooperative MARL with multi-task decision-making capabilities is expected to further broaden its application scope.In multi-task scenarios,cooperative MARL algorithms need to address 3 types of multi-task problems:reward-related multi-task,arising from different reward functions;multi-domain multi-task,caused by differences in state and action spaces,state transition functions;and scalability-related multi-task,resulting from the dynamic variation in the number of agents.Most existing studies focus on scalability-related multitask problems.However,with the increasing integration between large language models(LLMs)and multi-agent systems,a growing number of LLM-based multi-agent systems have emerged,enabling more complex multi-task cooperation.This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest advances in this field.By combining multi-task reinforcement learning with cooperative MARL,we categorize and analyze the 3 major types of multi-task problems under multi-agent settings,offering more fine-grained classifications and summarizing key insights for each.In addition,we summarize commonly used benchmarks and discuss future directions of research in this area,which hold promise for further enhancing the multi-task cooperation capabilities of multi-agent systems and expanding their practical applications in the real world.

文摘This review provides a comprehensive overview of natural rubber(NR)composites,focusing on their properties,compounding aspects,and renewable practices involving natural fibre reinforcement.The properties of NR are influenced by the compounding process,which incorporates ingredients such as elastomers,vulcanizing agents,accelerators,activators,and fillers like carbon black and silica.While effective in enhancing properties,these fillers lack biodegradability,prompting the exploration of sustainable alternatives.The potential of natural fibres as renewable reinforcements in NR composites is thoroughly covered in this review,highlighting both their advan-tages,such as improved sustainability,and the challenges they present,such as compatibility with the rubber matrix.Surface treatment methods,including alkali and silane treatments,are also discussed as solutions to improve fibre-matrix adhesion and mitigate these challenges.Additionally,the review highlights the potential of oil palm empty fruit bunch(EFB)fibres as a natural fibre reinforcement.The abundance of EFB fibres and their alignment with sustainable practices make them promising substitutes for conventional fillers,contributing to valuable knowledge and supporting the broader move towards renewable reinforcement to improve sustain-ability without compromising the key properties of rubber composites.

文摘AIM:To investigate the refractive and the histological changes in guinea pig eyes after posterior scleral reinforcement with scleral allografts.METHODS:Four-week-old guinea pigs were implanted with scleral allografts,and the changes of refraction,corneal curvature and axis length were monitored for 51d.The effects of methylprednisolone(MPS)on refraction parameters were also evaluated.And the microstructure and ultra-microstructure of eyes were observed on the 9d and 51d after operation.Repeated-measures analysis of variance and one-way analysis of variance were used.RESULTS:The refraction outcome of the implanted eye decreased after operation,and the refraction change of the 3 mm scleral allografts group was significantly different with control group(P=0.005)and the sham surgical group(P=0.004).After the application of MPS solution,the reduction of refraction outcome was statistically suppressed(P=0.008).The inflammatory encapsulation appeared 9d after surgery.On 51d after operation,the loose implanted materials were absorbed,while the adherent implanted materials with MPS group were still tightly attached to the recipient’s eyeball.CONCLUSION:After implantation of scleral allografts,the refraction of guinea pig eyes fluctuated from a decrease to an increase.The outcome of the scleral allografts is affected by implantation methods and the inflammatory response.Stability of the material can be improved by MPS.

文摘Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)have become integral components in smart city infrastructures,supporting applications such as emergency response,surveillance,and data collection.However,the high mobility and dynamic topology of Flying Ad Hoc Networks(FANETs)present significant challenges for maintaining reliable,low-latency communication.Conventional geographic routing protocols often struggle in situations where link quality varies and mobility patterns are unpredictable.To overcome these limitations,this paper proposes an improved routing protocol based on reinforcement learning.This new approach integrates Q-learning with mechanisms that are both link-aware and mobility-aware.The proposed method optimizes the selection of relay nodes by using an adaptive reward function that takes into account energy consumption,delay,and link quality.Additionally,a Kalman filter is integrated to predict UAV mobility,improving the stability of communication links under dynamic network conditions.Simulation experiments were conducted using realistic scenarios,varying the number of UAVs to assess scalability.An analysis was conducted on key performance metrics,including the packet delivery ratio,end-to-end delay,and total energy consumption.The results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves the packet delivery ratio by 12%–15%and reduces delay by up to 25.5%when compared to conventional GEO and QGEO protocols.However,this improvement comes at the cost of higher energy consumption due to additional computations and control overhead.Despite this trade-off,the proposed solution ensures reliable and efficient communication,making it well-suited for large-scale UAV networks operating in complex urban environments.

文摘The exponential growth of Internet ofThings(IoT)devices has created unprecedented challenges in data processing and resource management for time-critical applications.Traditional cloud computing paradigms cannot meet the stringent latency requirements of modern IoT systems,while pure edge computing faces resource constraints that limit processing capabilities.This paper addresses these challenges by proposing a novel Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)-enhanced priority-based scheduling framework for hybrid edge-cloud computing environments.Our approach integrates adaptive priority assignment with a two-level concurrency control protocol that ensures both optimal performance and data consistency.The framework introduces three key innovations:(1)a DRL-based dynamic priority assignmentmechanism that learns fromsystem behavior,(2)a hybrid concurrency control protocol combining local edge validation with global cloud coordination,and(3)an integrated mathematical model that formalizes sensor-driven transactions across edge-cloud architectures.Extensive simulations across diverse workload scenarios demonstrate significant quantitative improvements:40%latency reduction,25%throughput increase,85%resource utilization(compared to 60%for heuristicmethods),40%reduction in energy consumption(300 vs.500 J per task),and 50%improvement in scalability factor(1.8 vs.1.2 for EDF)compared to state-of-the-art heuristic and meta-heuristic approaches.These results establish the framework as a robust solution for large-scale IoT and autonomous applications requiring real-time processing with consistency guarantees.

文摘The rapid advancement of Industry 4.0 has revolutionized manufacturing,shifting production from centralized control to decentralized,intelligent systems.Smart factories are now expected to achieve high adaptability and resource efficiency,particularly in mass customization scenarios where production schedules must accommodate dynamic and personalized demands.To address the challenges of dynamic task allocation,uncertainty,and realtime decision-making,this paper proposes Pathfinder,a deep reinforcement learning-based scheduling framework.Pathfinder models scheduling data through three key matrices:execution time(the time required for a job to complete),completion time(the actual time at which a job is finished),and efficiency(the performance of executing a single job).By leveraging neural networks,Pathfinder extracts essential features from these matrices,enabling intelligent decision-making in dynamic production environments.Unlike traditional approaches with fixed scheduling rules,Pathfinder dynamically selects from ten diverse scheduling rules,optimizing decisions based on real-time environmental conditions.To further enhance scheduling efficiency,a specialized reward function is designed to support dynamic task allocation and real-time adjustments.This function helps Pathfinder continuously refine its scheduling strategy,improving machine utilization and minimizing job completion times.Through reinforcement learning,Pathfinder adapts to evolving production demands,ensuring robust performance in real-world applications.Experimental results demonstrate that Pathfinder outperforms traditional scheduling approaches,offering improved coordination and efficiency in smart factories.By integrating deep reinforcement learning,adaptable scheduling strategies,and an innovative reward function,Pathfinder provides an effective solution to the growing challenges of multi-robot job scheduling in mass customization environments.

文摘The knapsack problem is a classical combinatorial optimization problem widely encountered in areas such as logistics,resource allocation,and portfolio optimization.Traditional methods,including dynamic program-ming(DP)and greedy algorithms,have been effective in solving small problem instances but often struggle with scalability and efficiency as the problem size increases.DP,for instance,has exponential time complexity and can become computationally prohibitive for large problem instances.On the other hand,greedy algorithms offer faster solutions but may not always yield the optimal results,especially when the problem involves complex constraints or large numbers of items.This paper introduces a novel reinforcement learning(RL)approach to solve the knapsack problem by enhancing the state representation within the learning environment.We propose a representation where item weights and volumes are expressed as ratios relative to the knapsack’s capacity,and item values are normalized to represent their percentage of the total value across all items.This novel state modification leads to a 5%improvement in accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art RL-based algorithms,while significantly reducing execution time.Our RL-based method outperforms DP by over 9000 times in terms of speed,making it highly scalable for larger problem instances.Furthermore,we improve the performance of the RL model by incorporating Noisy layers into the neural network architecture.The addition of Noisy layers enhances the exploration capabilities of the agent,resulting in an additional accuracy boost of 0.2%–0.5%.The results demonstrate that our approach not only outperforms existing RL techniques,such as the Transformer model in terms of accuracy,but also provides a substantial improvement than DP in computational efficiency.This combination of enhanced accuracy and speed presents a promising solution for tackling large-scale optimization problems in real-world applications,where both precision and time are critical factors.

文摘Edge computing(EC)combined with the Internet of Things(IoT)provides a scalable and efficient solution for smart homes.Therapid proliferation of IoT devices poses real-time data processing and security challenges.EC has become a transformative paradigm for addressing these challenges,particularly in intrusion detection and anomaly mitigation.The widespread connectivity of IoT edge networks has exposed them to various security threats,necessitating robust strategies to detect malicious activities.This research presents a privacy-preserving federated anomaly detection framework combined with Bayesian game theory(BGT)and double deep Q-learning(DDQL).The proposed framework integrates BGT to model attacker and defender interactions for dynamic threat level adaptation and resource availability.It also models a strategic layout between attackers and defenders that takes into account uncertainty.DDQL is incorporated to optimize decision-making and aids in learning optimal defense policies at the edge,thereby ensuring policy and decision optimization.Federated learning(FL)enables decentralized and unshared anomaly detection for sensitive data between devices.Data collection has been performed from various sensors in a real-time EC-IoT network to identify irregularities that occurred due to different attacks.The results reveal that the proposed model achieves high detection accuracy of up to 98%while maintaining low resource consumption.This study demonstrates the synergy between game theory and FL to strengthen anomaly detection in EC-IoT networks.
