文摘The cloud-fog computing paradigm has emerged as a novel hybrid computing model that integrates computational resources at both fog nodes and cloud servers to address the challenges posed by dynamic and heterogeneous computing networks.Finding an optimal computational resource for task offloading and then executing efficiently is a critical issue to achieve a trade-off between energy consumption and transmission delay.In this network,the task processed at fog nodes reduces transmission delay.Still,it increases energy consumption,while routing tasks to the cloud server saves energy at the cost of higher communication delay.Moreover,the order in which offloaded tasks are executed affects the system’s efficiency.For instance,executing lower-priority tasks before higher-priority jobs can disturb the reliability and stability of the system.Therefore,an efficient strategy of optimal computation offloading and task scheduling is required for operational efficacy.In this paper,we introduced a multi-objective and enhanced version of Cheeta Optimizer(CO),namely(MoECO),to jointly optimize the computation offloading and task scheduling in cloud-fog networks to minimize two competing objectives,i.e.,energy consumption and communication delay.MoECO first assigns tasks to the optimal computational nodes and then the allocated tasks are scheduled for processing based on the task priority.The mathematical modelling of CO needs improvement in computation time and convergence speed.Therefore,MoECO is proposed to increase the search capability of agents by controlling the search strategy based on a leader’s location.The adaptive step length operator is adjusted to diversify the solution and thus improves the exploration phase,i.e.,global search strategy.Consequently,this prevents the algorithm from getting trapped in the local optimal solution.Moreover,the interaction factor during the exploitation phase is also adjusted based on the location of the prey instead of the adjacent Cheetah.This increases the exploitation capability of agents,i.e.,local search capability.Furthermore,MoECO employs a multi-objective Pareto-optimal front to simultaneously minimize designated objectives.Comprehensive simulations in MATLAB demonstrate that the proposed algorithm obtains multiple solutions via a Pareto-optimal front and achieves an efficient trade-off between optimization objectives compared to baseline methods.
文摘Optimization is the key to obtaining efficient utilization of resources in structural design.Due to the complex nature of truss systems,this study presents a method based on metaheuristic modelling that minimises structural weight under stress and frequency constraints.Two new algorithms,the Red Kite Optimization Algorithm(ROA)and Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm(SBOA),are utilized on five benchmark trusses with 10,18,37,72,and 200-bar trusses.Both algorithms are evaluated against benchmarks in the literature.The results indicate that SBOA always reaches a lighter optimal.Designs with reducing structural weight ranging from 0.02%to 0.15%compared to ROA,and up to 6%–8%as compared to conventional algorithms.In addition,SBOA can achieve 15%–20%faster convergence speed and 10%–18%reduction in computational time with a smaller standard deviation over independent runs,which demonstrates its robustness and reliability.It is indicated that the adaptive exploration mechanism of SBOA,especially its Levy flight–based search strategy,can obviously improve optimization performance for low-and high-dimensional trusses.The research has implications in the context of promoting bio-inspired optimization techniques by demonstrating the viability of SBOA,a reliable model for large-scale structural design that provides significant enhancements in performance and convergence behavior.

文摘Although the thin and cold Martian atmosphere provides the feasibility of rotorcraft flight on Mars,rotors designed for denser Earth atmosphere with small angles of attack hardly generate enough thrust for rotorcraft flight at conventional rotational speeds in the Martian atmosphere.In this paper,we employ the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)algorithm to search for the control points of the Bezier curve,completing the parameterization of the airfoil upper and lower curves based on these control points.In order to directly enhance the lift-to-drag ratio of the airfoil at high angles of attack,the NSGA-II algorithm is utilized to optimize the lift-to-drag ratio of NACA 6904 at a=17.5°,Ma=0.43,Re=7600,and CLF 5605 at a=15°,Ma=0.7,Re=7481,respectively.The two-dimensional RANS(Reynolds Average NavierStokes)and k-ωSST turbulence models are employed in the optimization process by CFD to predict the lift and drag characteristics of the airfoil in a Martian environment.Under simulated Mars atmospheric conditions(pressure of 1380 Pa,test temperature of 24°C,equivalent Mars atmospheric density at the surface of 0.0162 g/cm~3),the airfoil after optimized is subjected to rotor lift-drag characteristic tests where a single-rotor lift-drag characteristic test bench is employed for verification.The experimental results demonstrate that the RB-TB-II blade,which is obtained by optimizing the airfoil based on the RB-SWQ-I blade,exhibits a 19.6%increase in Power Loading(PL)and a 20.4%increase in Figure of Merit(FM)compared with the RB-SWQ-I blade.Based on the results of airfoil optimization,increasing the camber at the leading edge of the airfoil under high angles of attack contributes to an improved lift-to-drag ratio.

文摘ThePigeon-InspiredOptimization(PIO)algorithmconstitutes ametaheuristic method derived fromthe homing behaviour of pigeons.Initially formulated for three-dimensional path planning in unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),the algorithmhas attracted considerable academic and industrial interest owing to its effective balance between exploration and exploitation,coupled with advantages in real-time performance and robustness.Nevertheless,as applications have diversified,limitations in convergence precision and a tendency toward premature convergence have become increasingly evident,highlighting a need for improvement.This reviewsystematically outlines the developmental trajectory of the PIO algorithm,with a particular focus on its core applications in UAV navigation,multi-objective formulations,and a spectrum of variantmodels that have emerged in recent years.It offers a structured analysis of the foundational principles underlying the PIO.It conducts a comparative assessment of various performance-enhanced versions,including hybrid models that integrate mechanisms from other optimization paradigms.Additionally,the strengths andweaknesses of distinct PIOvariants are critically examined frommultiple perspectives,including intrinsic algorithmic characteristics,suitability for specific application scenarios,objective function design,and the rigor of the statistical evaluation methodologies employed in empirical studies.Finally,this paper identifies principal challenges within current PIO research and proposes several prospective research directions.Future work should focus on mitigating premature convergence by refining the two-phase search structure and adjusting the exponential decrease of individual numbers during the landmark operator.Enhancing parameter adaptation strategies,potentially using reinforcement learning for dynamic tuning,and advancing theoretical analyses on convergence and complexity are also critical.Further applications should be explored in constrained path planning,Neural Architecture Search(NAS),and other real-worldmulti-objective problems.For Multi-objective PIO(MPIO),key improvements include controlling the growth of the external archive and designing more effective selection mechanisms to maintain convergence efficiency.These efforts are expected to strengthen both the theoretical foundation and practical versatility of PIO and its variants.

文摘High-dimensional data causes difficulties in machine learning due to high time consumption and large memory requirements.In particular,in amulti-label environment,higher complexity is required asmuch as the number of labels.Moreover,an optimization problem that fully considers all dependencies between features and labels is difficult to solve.In this study,we propose a novel regression-basedmulti-label feature selectionmethod that integrates mutual information to better exploit the underlying data structure.By incorporating mutual information into the regression formulation,the model captures not only linear relationships but also complex non-linear dependencies.The proposed objective function simultaneously considers three types of relationships:(1)feature redundancy,(2)featurelabel relevance,and(3)inter-label dependency.These three quantities are computed usingmutual information,allowing the proposed formulation to capture nonlinear dependencies among variables.These three types of relationships are key factors in multi-label feature selection,and our method expresses them within a unified formulation,enabling efficient optimization while simultaneously accounting for all of them.To efficiently solve the proposed optimization problem under non-negativity constraints,we develop a gradient-based optimization algorithm with fast convergence.Theexperimental results on sevenmulti-label datasets show that the proposed method outperforms existingmulti-label feature selection techniques.

文摘Data center industries have been facing huge energy challenges due to escalating power consumption and associated carbon emissions.In the context of carbon neutrality,the integration of data centers with renewable energy has become a prevailing trend.To advance the renewable energy integration in data centers,it is imperative to thoroughly explore the data centers’operational flexibility.Computing workloads and refrigeration systems are recognized as two promising flexible resources for power regulationwithin data centermicro-grids.This paper identifies and categorizes delay-tolerant computing workloads into three types(long-running non-interruptible,long-running interruptible,and short-running)and develops mathematical time-shifting models for each.Additionally,this paper examines the thermal dynamics of the computer room and derives a time-varying temperature model coupled to refrigeration power.Building on these models,this paper proposes a two-stage,multi-time scale optimization scheduling framework that jointly coordinates computing workloads time-shift in day-ahead scheduling and refrigeration power control in intra-day dispatch to mitigate renewable variability.A case study demonstrates that the framework effectively enhances the renewable-energy utilization,improves the operational economy of the data center microgrid,and mitigates the impact of renewable power uncertainty.The results highlight the potential of coordinated computing workloads and thermal system flexibility to support greener,more cost-effective data center operation.

文摘This study addresses the energy-intensive challenge of small-scale biogas upgrading by optimizing a chemical absorption process employing methyl diethanolamine(MDEA).Focusing on a typical distributed application of 300 Nm^(3)/d,we developed an integrated simulation-optimization framework using Aspen HYSYS 14.0 to systematically evaluate the effects of critical operating parameters—absorption pressure,MDEA concentration,flow rate,temperature,number of trays,and reboiler duty—on methane purity and energy consumption.The key finding is the identification of an optimal parameter set:absorption pressure of 1200 kPa,MDEA concentration of 20mol%,lean flow rate of 2.5 kmol/h,temperature of 298.15 K,20 absorber trays,10 regenerator trays,and a reboiler duty of 4 kW,which enabled the product gas to achieve a high CH4 concentration of 97mol%,compliant with pipeline standards.A detailed energy consumption analysis revealed that the reboiler is the most energy-intensive unit,accounting for 75.40%of the total 5.29 kW energy consumption,followed by the gas compressor(23.38%).The specific energy consumption for CH4 recovery and the Energy Consumption Index(ECI)were quantified at 0.8852 kWh/kg CH_(4)and 6.82,respectively.This work provides a validated optimization strategy and critical energy breakdown,offering practical guidance for enhancing the technical and economic viability of small-scale,centralized biogas purification systems.

文摘In view of the insufficient utilization of condition-monitoring information and the improper scheduling often observed in conventional maintenance strategies for photovoltaic(PV)modules,this study proposes a predictive maintenance(PdM)strategy based on Remaining Useful Life(RUL)estimation.First,a RUL prediction model is established using the Transformer architecture,which enables the effective processing of sequential degradation data.By employing the historical degradation data of PV modules,the proposed model provides accurate forecasts of the remaining useful life,thereby supplying essential inputs for maintenance decision-making.Subsequently,the RUL information obtained from the prediction process is integrated into the optimization of maintenance policies.An opposition-based learning Harris Hawks Optimization(OHHO)algorithm is introduced to jointly optimize two critical parameters:the maintenance threshold L,which specifies the degradation level at which maintenance should be performed,and the recovery factor r,which reflects the extent to which the system performance is restored after maintenance.The objective of this joint optimization is to minimize the overall operation and maintenance cost while maintaining system availability.Finally,simulation experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed PdM strategy.The results indicate that,compared with conventional corrective maintenance(CM)and periodic maintenance(PM)strategies,the RUL-driven PdM approach achieves a reduction in the average cost rate by approximately 20.7%and 17.9%,respectively,thereby demonstrating its potential effectiveness for practical PV maintenance applications.
文摘Circumlunar abort trajectories constitute a vital contingency return strategy during the translunar phase of crewed lunar missions.This paper proposes a methodology for constructing the solution set of the circumlunar abort trajectory and leverages its advantageous properties to address the optimization design problem of abort trajectories.Initially,a solution set of all feasible abort trajectories,originating from an abort point on the nominal trajectory and complying with fundamental reentry constraints,is formulated through the introduction of two novel design parameters.Subsequently,the geometric characteristics of the solution set,as well as the distributional properties of key iterative constraint responses,including flight time and velocity increment,are analyzed.Finally,the characteristics exhibited in the solution set are employed to directly identify the design parameters of the abort trajectories with minimum flight time and velocity increment,thereby providing solutions to two distinct types of optimization problems.The simulation results for a variety of nominal trajectories,encompassing the reconstruction and redesign of the Apollo13 abort trajectory,validate the proposed method,demonstrating its ability to directly generate optimal abort trajectories.The method proposed in this paper investigates feasible abort trajectories from a global perspective,providing both a framework and convenience for mission planning and iterative optimization in abort trajectory design.

文摘Visible lighting and energy-saving are dual needs of energy efficiency and occupant comfort in modern buildings.In this study,a smart window based on phase-change material VO_(2) is designed and optimized to address the critical challenges in building energy management.The proposed phase-adaptive radiative(PAR)coating is a multilayer nanostructure consisting of TiO/VO_(2)2/TiO/Ag_(2) and polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS).For different VO_(2) phases,visible transmittance T_(vis)>0.6 and emissivity difference in the atmospheric window Δε_(AW)=0.422 can be achieved,which means the PAR window can transfer interior heat to the outside through thermal radiation for cooling or minimize thermal emission for insulation,while ensuring the transmission of visible light for natural daylighting.Compared to normal glass,the PAR window has an average temperature drop of 14.8℃.The year-round energy-saving calculation for four different cities in China indicates that the PAR window can save 22%-32% of the annual cooling and heating energy consumption by seamlessly transitioning between two phases of VO_(2)modes.The multi-objective optimization of the phase-adaptive radiative smart window provides a potential strategy for energy saving.

文摘Theauthor proposes a dual layer source grid load storage collaborative planning model based on Benders decomposition to optimize the low-carbon and economic performance of the distribution network.The model plans the configuration of photovoltaic(3.8 MW),wind power(2.5 MW),energy storage(2.2 MWh),and SVC(1.2 Mvar)through interaction between upper and lower layers,and modifies lines 2–3,8–9,etc.to improve transmission capacity and voltage stability.The author uses normal distribution and Monte Carlo method to model load uncertainty,and combines Weibull distribution to describe wind speed characteristics.Compared to the traditional three-layer model(TLM),Benders decomposition-based two-layer model(BLBD)has a 58.1%reduction in convergence time(5.36 vs.12.78 h),a 51.1%reduction in iteration times(23 vs.47 times),a 8.07%reduction in total cost(12.436 vs.13.528 million yuan),and a 9.62%reduction in carbon emissions(12,456 vs.13,782 t).After optimization,the peak valley difference decreased from4.1 to 2.9MW,the renewable energy consumption rate reached 93.4%,and the energy storage efficiency was 87.6%.Themodel has been validated in the IEEE 33 node system,demonstrating its superiority in terms of economy,low-carbon,and reliability.

文摘Based on the Fluent numerical simulation method,this study systematically analyzed the structural parameters of the spiral tube heat exchanger and the influence of the external baffle on its heat transfer performance.The results show that when the equivalent diameter of the spiral tube increased from 16.68 to 21.23 mm,its surface heat transfer coefficient decreased from 22,040 to 17,230 W/m^(2)⋅K,and the outlet air temperature dropped from 822.3 to 807.3 K.However,the pressure loss decreased from 2.692 to 0.958 kPa.which reveals the contradiction between the heat transfer efficiency and the flow resistance.By adding a baffle to enhance the turbulent disturbance,the wall heat flux density is increased by 21.17%,the surface heat transfer coefficient is increased by 12.1%,and the outlet temperature is optimized,which verifies the significant improvement of the heat transfer performance by the countercurrent design.Comprehensive research shows that the collaborative optimization of spiral tube equivalent diameter parameters and baffle flow control is the key to improve the comprehensive performance of heat exchanger.Theresearch results provide a theoretical basis for energy-saving design of industrial heat exchangers.

文摘In-situ enlargement of super-large-span tunnels can intensify excavation-induced unloading in the surrounding rock,increasing deformation demand and failure risk during construction.This study combines laboratory model tests with FLAC3D simulations to evaluate the stabilizing role of prestressed anchor cables and to establish an energy-balance framework for support optimization.Comparative model tests of existing and enlarged tunnel sections,with and without anchors,show that reinforcement increases load-carrying capacity,reduces displacement,and confines damage to more localized zones.The numerical simulations reproduce displacement fields,shear-strain localization,and plastic-zone evolution with good agreement against the experimental observations.The energy framework is implemented in the in-situ simulations by quantifying unloading-related energy release in the rock mass and reinforcement work contributed by the anchors,and by introducing an energy release–reinforcement ratio as a stability indicator.Parametric analyses indicate that anchor length,spacing,and prestress influence stability in a nonlinear manner,with diminishing returns once reinforcement extends beyond the mechanically dominant deformation zone.An efficient parameter window is identified that improves deformation and yielding control while avoiding unnecessary reinforcement.The results provide an energy-consistent and design-oriented basis for prestressed anchorage selection in large-span tunnel expansion.

文摘Automated essay scoring(AES)systems have gained significant importance in educational settings,offering a scalable,efficient,and objective method for evaluating student essays.However,developing AES systems for Arabic poses distinct challenges due to the language’s complex morphology,diglossia,and the scarcity of annotated datasets.This paper presents a hybrid approach to Arabic AES by combining text-based,vector-based,and embeddingbased similarity measures to improve essay scoring accuracy while minimizing the training data required.Using a large Arabic essay dataset categorized into thematic groups,the study conducted four experiments to evaluate the impact of feature selection,data size,and model performance.Experiment 1 established a baseline using a non-machine learning approach,selecting top-N correlated features to predict essay scores.The subsequent experiments employed 5-fold cross-validation.Experiment 2 showed that combining embedding-based,text-based,and vector-based features in a Random Forest(RF)model achieved an R2 of 88.92%and an accuracy of 83.3%within a 0.5-point tolerance.Experiment 3 further refined the feature selection process,demonstrating that 19 correlated features yielded optimal results,improving R2 to 88.95%.In Experiment 4,an optimal data efficiency training approach was introduced,where training data portions increased from 5%to 50%.The study found that using just 10%of the data achieved near-peak performance,with an R2 of 85.49%,emphasizing an effective trade-off between performance and computational costs.These findings highlight the potential of the hybrid approach for developing scalable Arabic AES systems,especially in low-resource environments,addressing linguistic challenges while ensuring efficient data usage.

文摘In the construction and maintenance for large space equipment,it is essential to ensure the control accuracy and improve the dexterity of the space manipulator.In this paper,a FiniteTime Convergence Kinematic Control(FTCKC)added with Acceleration Level Dexterity Optimization(ALDO)scheme is proposed to solve the kinematic uncertainty and dexterity optimization problems of redundant space manipulators.Concretely,distinguishing from the asymptotic convergence property of traditional adaptive Jacobian methods,the FTCKC scheme is adopted to construct the equality constraint to address the model uncertainty problem,and its error can converge within a finite time.Subsequently,the dexterity index is reconstructed at acceleration level by a multi-level target handling method.Then,the equality constraint,optimization task,and limit constraints are reformulated as a quadratic programming problem.Moreover,a Recurrent Neural Network(RNN)is engineered for the constructed FTCKC-ALDO scheme.Finally,the superiority of the FTCKC-ALDO-RNN scheme is verified by experiments.
