Purpose: This study aimed to examine the surface and content validity of the Advanced Beginner Nurses’ Self-Monitoring Scale While Multitasking and refine the scale items accordingly. It is expected that the development of such scale will allow for reflection on advanced beginner nurses’ response to multitasking, leading to further capacity building. Methods: The surface validity of 96 items of the Advanced Beginner Nurses’ Self-Monitoring Scale While Multitasking was examined at a meeting with five expert researchers. Five researchers and five nurses examined the items’ content using an item-level content validity index through a questionnaire survey. Results and Conclusion: The Advanced Beginner Nurses’ Self-Monitoring Scale While Multitasking was organized into 73 items that were refined into scales with surface and content validity. Consequently, five sub-concepts were identified: recognizing the situation one’s facing, seeing one’s self from multiple perspectives, devising concrete strategies depending on the situation, considering a predictable time schedule, and being aware of the situation surrounding one’s self. In the future, it will be necessary to examine the reliability and validity of the scale.展开更多

However, most of them tend to converge into local areas due to the loss of diversity. Evolutionary multitasking(EMT) is new model of solving complex optimization problems, through the knowledge transfer between the source task and other related tasks. Inspired by EMT, this paper develops a new EMT-based CMOEA to solve CMOPs, in which the main task, a global auxiliary task, and a local auxiliary task are created and optimized by one specific population respectively. The main task focuses on finding the feasible Pareto front(PF), and global and local auxiliary tasks are used to respectively enhance global and local diversity. Moreover, the global auxiliary task is used to implement the global search by ignoring constraints, so as to help the population of the main task pass through infeasible obstacles. The local auxiliary task is used to provide local diversity around the population of the main task, so as to exploit promising regions. Through the knowledge transfer among the three tasks, the search ability of the population of the main task will be significantly improved. Compared with other state-of-the-art CMOEAs, the experimental results on three benchmark test suites demonstrate the superior or competitive performance of the proposed CMOEA.展开更多

The same open loop control system is observed in different operating systems with and without multitasking environment. The Data Acquisition （DAQ, PLC-812PG） card is used as a hardware interface. From the experiment, it could be seen that in the non real time operating system （Windows）, the delay of the control system is larger than the Soft Real Time OS （Linux）. Further, the authors observed the same control system under Hard Real Time OS （RT-Linux）. At this point, the experiment showed that the real time error （jitter） is minimum in RT-Linux OS than the both of the previous OS. It is because the RT-Linux OS kernel can set the priority level and the control system was given the highest priority. The same experiment was observed under multitasking environment and the comparison of delay was similar to the preceding evaluation.展开更多

Most of garbages are not useful and as a matter of fact, they are used to be neglected. Furthermore, many efforts have been conducted to change it by many types of recycled methods. Here, a simple technique is proposed with and without using fires to transform the useless natural or man-made rubbish things to be a superfiber as well as thin film with multitasking applications in human daily life. Since most of earth environment is covered by oceans, here the authors show how the ocean related garbage such as the crab skins, broken coral reefs and beach stones were changed to be superfiber and a multitasking device prototype.展开更多

文摘Constrained multi-objective optimization problems(CMOPs) include the optimization of objective functions and the satisfaction of constraint conditions, which challenge the solvers.To solve CMOPs, constrained multi-objective evolutionary algorithms(CMOEAs) have been developed. However, most of them tend to converge into local areas due to the loss of diversity. Evolutionary multitasking(EMT) is new model of solving complex optimization problems, through the knowledge transfer between the source task and other related tasks. Inspired by EMT, this paper develops a new EMT-based CMOEA to solve CMOPs, in which the main task, a global auxiliary task, and a local auxiliary task are created and optimized by one specific population respectively. The main task focuses on finding the feasible Pareto front(PF), and global and local auxiliary tasks are used to respectively enhance global and local diversity. Moreover, the global auxiliary task is used to implement the global search by ignoring constraints, so as to help the population of the main task pass through infeasible obstacles. The local auxiliary task is used to provide local diversity around the population of the main task, so as to exploit promising regions. Through the knowledge transfer among the three tasks, the search ability of the population of the main task will be significantly improved. Compared with other state-of-the-art CMOEAs, the experimental results on three benchmark test suites demonstrate the superior or competitive performance of the proposed CMOEA.

文摘The advent of the internet-of-everything era has led to the increased use of mobile edge computing.The rise of artificial intelligence has provided many possibilities for the low-latency task-offloading demands of users,but existing technologies rigidly assume that there is only one task to be offloaded in each time slot at the terminal.In practical scenarios,there are often numerous computing tasks to be executed at the terminal,leading to a cumulative delay for subsequent task offloading.Therefore,the efficient processing of multiple computing tasks on the terminal has become highly challenging.To address the lowlatency offloading requirements for multiple computational tasks on terminal devices,we propose a terminal multitask parallel offloading algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning.Specifically,we first establish a mobile edge computing system model consisting of a single edge server and multiple terminal users.We then model the task offloading decision problem as a Markov decision process,and solve this problem using the Dueling Deep-Q Network algorithm to obtain the optimal offloading strategy.Experimental results demonstrate that,under the same constraints,our proposed algorithm reduces the average system latency.

文摘Traditional deep learning methods pursue complex and single network architectures without considering the petrophysical relationship between different elastic parameters.The mathematical and statistical significance of the inversion results may lead to model overfitting,especially when there are a limited number of well logs in a working area.Multitask learning provides an eff ective approach to addressing this issue.Simultaneously,learning multiple related tasks can improve a model’s generalization ability to a certain extent,thereby enhancing the performance of related tasks with an equal amount of labeled data.In this study,we propose an end-to-end multitask deep learning model that integrates a fully convolutional network and bidirectional gated recurrent unit for intelligent prestack inversion of“seismic data to elastic parameters.”The use of a Bayesian homoscedastic uncertainty-based loss function enables adaptive learning of the weight coeffi cients for diff erent elastic parameter inversion tasks,thereby reducing uncertainty during the inversion process.The proposed method combines the local feature perception of convolutional neural networks with the long-term memory of bidirectional gated recurrent networks.It maintains the rock physics constraint relationships among diff erent elastic parameters during the inversion process,demonstrating a high level of prediction accuracy.Numerical simulations and processing results of real seismic data validate the eff ectiveness and practicality of the proposed method.

文摘Because of its strong ability to solve problems,evolutionary multitask optimization(EMTO)algorithms have been widely studied recently.Evolutionary algorithms have the advantage of fast searching for the optimal solution,but it is easy to fall into local optimum and difficult to generalize.Combining evolutionary multitask algorithms with evolutionary optimization algorithms can be an effective method for solving these problems.Through the implicit parallelism of tasks themselves and the knowledge transfer between tasks,more promising individual algorithms can be generated in the evolution process,which can jump out of the local optimum.How to better combine the two has also been studied more and more.This paper explores the existing evolutionary multitasking theory and improvement scheme in detail.Then,it summarizes the application of EMTO in different scenarios.Finally,according to the existing research,the future research trends and potential exploration directions are revealed.
