Quantum computers differ significantly from classical computers, necessitating a distinct approach to algorithm design, which involves taming quantum mechanical phenomena.

Numbering computable programs is a theoretical computer science concept that assigns unique numbers to individual programs or algorithms. Common methods include Gödel numbering which encodes programs as strings of symbols or characters, often used in formal systems and mathematical logic. Based on the proposed numbering approach, this paper presents a mechanism to explore the set of possible quantum algorithms. The proposed approach is able to construct useful circuits such as Quantum Key Distribution BB84 protocol, which enables sender and receiver to establish a secure cryptographic key via a quantum channel. The proposed approach facilitates the process of exploring and constructing quantum algorithms.展开更多

文摘Accurate prediction of flood events is important for flood control and risk management.Machine learning techniques contributed greatly to advances in flood predictions,and existing studies mainly focused on predicting flood resource variables using single or hybrid machine learning techniques.However,class-based flood predictions have rarely been investigated,which can aid in quickly diagnosing comprehensive flood characteristics and proposing targeted management strategies.This study proposed a prediction approach of flood regime metrics and event classes coupling machine learning algorithms with clustering-deduced membership degrees.Five algorithms were adopted for this exploration.Results showed that the class membership degrees accurately determined event classes with class hit rates up to 100%,compared with the four classes clustered from nine regime metrics.The nonlinear algorithms(Multiple Linear Regression,Random Forest,and least squares-Support Vector Machine)outperformed the linear techniques(Multiple Linear Regression and Stepwise Regression)in predicting flood regime metrics.The proposed approach well predicted flood event classes with average class hit rates of 66.0%-85.4%and 47.2%-76.0%in calibration and validation periods,respectively,particularly for the slow and late flood events.The predictive capability of the proposed prediction approach for flood regime metrics and classes was considerably stronger than that of hydrological modeling approach.

文摘The cemented tailings backfill(CTB)with initial defects is more prone to destabilization damage under the influence of various unfavorable factors during the mining process.In order to investigate its influence on the stability of underground mining engineering,this paper simulates the generation of different degrees of initial defects inside the CTB by adding different contents of air-entraining agent(AEA),investigates the acoustic emission RA/AF eigenvalues of CTB with different contents of AEA under uniaxial compression,and adopts various denoising algorithms(e.g.,moving average smoothing,median filtering,and outlier detection)to improve the accuracy of the data.The variance and autocorrelation coefficients of RA/AF parameters were analyzed in conjunction with the critical slowing down(CSD)theory.The results show that the acoustic emission RA/AF values can be used to characterize the progressive damage evolution of CTB.The denoising algorithm processed the AE signals to reduce the effects of extraneous noise and anomalous spikes.Changes in the variance curves provide clear precursor information,while abrupt changes in the autocorrelation coefficient can be used as an auxiliary localization warning signal.The phenomenon of dramatic increase in the variance and autocorrelation coefficient curves during the compression-tightening stage,which is influenced by the initial defects,can lead to false warnings.As the initial defects of the CTB increase,its instability precursor time and instability time are prolonged,the peak stress decreases,and the time difference between the CTB and the instability damage is smaller.The results provide a new method for real-time monitoring and early warning of CTB instability damage.
文摘Optimizing convolutional neural networks(CNNs)for IoT attack detection remains a critical yet challenging task due to the need to balance multiple performance metrics beyond mere accuracy.This study proposes a unified and flexible optimization framework that leverages metaheuristic algorithms to automatically optimize CNN configurations for IoT attack detection.Unlike conventional single-objective approaches,the proposed method formulates a global multi-objective fitness function that integrates accuracy,precision,recall,and model size(speed/model complexity penalty)with adjustable weights.This design enables both single-objective and weightedsum multi-objective optimization,allowing adaptive selection of optimal CNN configurations for diverse deployment requirements.Two representativemetaheuristic algorithms,GeneticAlgorithm(GA)and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),are employed to optimize CNNhyperparameters and structure.At each generation/iteration,the best configuration is selected as themost balanced solution across optimization objectives,i.e.,the one achieving themaximum value of the global objective function.Experimental validation on two benchmark datasets,Edge-IIoT and CIC-IoT2023,demonstrates that the proposed GA-and PSO-based models significantly enhance detection accuracy(94.8%–98.3%)and generalization compared with manually tuned CNN configurations,while maintaining compact architectures.The results confirm that the multi-objective framework effectively balances predictive performance and computational efficiency.This work establishes a generalizable and adaptive optimization strategy for deep learning-based IoT attack detection and provides a foundation for future hybrid metaheuristic extensions in broader IoT security applications.
文摘This research presents a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm,called theNarwhale Optimization Algorithm(NWOA).The algorithm draws inspiration from the foraging and prey-hunting strategies of narwhals,“unicorns of the sea”,particularly the use of their distinctive spiral tusks,which play significant roles in hunting,searching prey,navigation,echolocation,and complex social interaction.Particularly,the NWOA imitates the foraging strategies and techniques of narwhals when hunting for prey but focuses mainly on the cooperative and exploratory behavior shown during group hunting and in the use of their tusks in sensing and locating prey under the Arctic ice.These functions provide a strong assessment basis for investigating the algorithm’s prowess at balancing exploration and exploitation,convergence speed,and solution accuracy.The performance of the NWOA is evaluated on 30 benchmark test functions.A comparison study using the Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO),Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA),Perfumer Optimization Algorithm(POA),Candle Flame Optimization(CFO)Algorithm,Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)Algorithm,and Genetic Algorithm(GA)validates the results.As evidenced in the experimental results,NWOA is capable of yielding competitive outcomes among these well-known optimizers,whereas in several instances.These results suggest thatNWOAhas proven to be an effective and robust optimization tool suitable for solving many different complex optimization problems from the real world.

文摘Glaucoma,a leading cause of blindness,demands early detection for effective management.While AI-based diagnostic systems are gaining traction,their performance is often limited by challenges such as varying image backgrounds,pixel intensity inconsistencies,and object size variations.To address these limitations,we introduce an innovative,nature-inspired machine learning framework combining feature excitation-based dense segmentation networks(FEDS-Net)and an enhanced gray wolf optimization-supported support vectormachine(IGWO-SVM).This dual-stage approach begins with FEDS-Net,which utilizes a fuzzy integral(FI)technique to accurately segment the optic cup(OC)and optic disk(OD)from retinal images,even in the presence of uncertainty and imprecision.In the second stage,the IGWO-SVM model optimizes the SVM classification process,leveraging a gray wolf-inspired optimization strategy to fine-tune the kernel function for superior accuracy.Extensive testing on three benchmark glaucoma image databases DRIONS-DB,Drishti-GS,and Rim-One-r3 demonstrates the efficacy of our method,achieving classification accuracies of 97.65%,94.88%,and 93.2%,respectively.These results surpass existing state-of-the-art techniques,offering a promising solution for reliable and early glaucoma detection.
文摘Open caissons are widely used in foundation engineering because of their load-bearing efficiency and adaptability in diverse soil conditions.However,accurately predicting their undrained bearing capacity in layered soils remains a complex challenge.This study presents a novel application of five ensemble machine(ML)algorithms-random forest(RF),gradient boosting machine(GBM),extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),adaptive boosting(AdaBoost),and categorical boosting(CatBoost)-to predict the undrained bearing capacity factor(Nc)of circular open caissons embedded in two-layered clay on the basis of results from finite element limit analysis(FELA).The input dataset consists of 1188 numerical simulations using the Tresca failure criterion,varying in geometrical and soil parameters.The FELA was performed via OptumG2 software with adaptive meshing techniques and verified against existing benchmark studies.The ML models were trained on 70% of the dataset and tested on the remaining 30%.Their performance was evaluated using six statistical metrics:coefficient of determination(R²),mean absolute error(MAE),root mean squared error(RMSE),index of scatter(IOS),RMSE-to-standard deviation ratio(RSR),and variance explained factor(VAF).The results indicate that all the models achieved high accuracy,with R²values exceeding 97.6%and RMSE values below 0.02.Among them,AdaBoost and CatBoost consistently outperformed the other methods across both the training and testing datasets,demonstrating superior generalizability and robustness.The proposed ML framework offers an efficient,accurate,and data-driven alternative to traditional methods for estimating caisson capacity in stratified soils.This approach can aid in reducing computational costs while improving reliability in the early stages of foundation design.

文摘Quantum computing offers unprecedented computational power, enabling simultaneous computations beyond traditional computers. Quantum computers differ significantly from classical computers, necessitating a distinct approach to algorithm design, which involves taming quantum mechanical phenomena. This paper extends the numbering of computable programs to be applied in the quantum computing context. Numbering computable programs is a theoretical computer science concept that assigns unique numbers to individual programs or algorithms. Common methods include Gödel numbering which encodes programs as strings of symbols or characters, often used in formal systems and mathematical logic. Based on the proposed numbering approach, this paper presents a mechanism to explore the set of possible quantum algorithms. The proposed approach is able to construct useful circuits such as Quantum Key Distribution BB84 protocol, which enables sender and receiver to establish a secure cryptographic key via a quantum channel. The proposed approach facilitates the process of exploring and constructing quantum algorithms.

文摘Electrochemical water splitting(EWS),a sustainable pathway for green hydrogen production,faces critical industrial chal-lenges:insuffi cient activity and stability at high current densities,reliance on scarce noble metals,and unresolved kinetic bottlenecks in proton-coupled electron transfer(PCET)dynamics.Natural metalloenzymes drive water splitting at excep-tionally low overpotentials via precisely coordinated proton-coupled electron transfer(PCET)pathways within their active sites,achieving effi ciencies approaching the theoretical thermodynamic potential of the reaction(1.23 V vs.RHE),thereby off ering transformative design principles for synthetic catalysts.This review begins by analyzing the structural motifs and catalytic mechanisms of natural metalloenzymes involved in the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER),with a particular focus on their PCET-driven reaction dynamics.Subsequently,we summarize the inspir-ing strategies derived from the design of the natural enzyme active sites and their ligand environments,highlighting their relevance to HER and OER catalyst development.In conclusion,we advocate for a multiscale,nature-inspired catalyst design paradigm that integrates deep learning,high-throughput computation,and cutting-edge in situ characterization to systematically understand and optimize intrinsic activity(overpotential),stability,and reaction pathway(selectivity),thereby achieving synergistic design from atomic-scale active sites to macroscopic system architectures.These nature-inspired strategies could bridge the gap between enzymatic precision and industrial scalability,unlocking EWS technologies with enzyme-like effi ciency and durability.
文摘The advent of microgrids in modern energy systems heralds a promising era of resilience,sustainability,and efficiency.Within the realm of grid-tied microgrids,the selection of an optimal optimization algorithm is critical for effective energy management,particularly in economic dispatching.This study compares the performance of Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)and Genetic Algorithms(GA)in microgrid energy management systems,implemented using MATLAB tools.Through a comprehensive review of the literature and sim-ulations conducted in MATLAB,the study analyzes performance metrics,convergence speed,and the overall efficacy of GA and PSO,with a focus on economic dispatching tasks.Notably,a significant distinction emerges between the cost curves generated by the two algo-rithms for microgrid operation,with the PSO algorithm consistently resulting in lower costs due to its effective economic dispatching capabilities.Specifically,the utilization of the PSO approach could potentially lead to substantial savings on the power bill,amounting to approximately$15.30 in this evaluation.Thefindings provide insights into the strengths and limitations of each algorithm within the complex dynamics of grid-tied microgrids,thereby assisting stakeholders and researchers in arriving at informed decisions.This study contributes to the discourse on sustainable energy management by offering actionable guidance for the advancement of grid-tied micro-grid technologies through MATLAB-implemented optimization algorithms.

文摘This paper presents an Eulerian-Lagrangian algorithm for direct numerical simulation(DNS)of particle-laden flows.The algorithm is applicable to perform simulations of dilute suspensions of small inertial particles in turbulent carrier flow.The Eulerian framework numerically resolves turbulent carrier flow using a parallelized,finite-volume DNS solver on a staggered Cartesian grid.Particles are tracked using a point-particle method utilizing a Lagrangian particle tracking(LPT)algorithm.The proposed Eulerian-Lagrangian algorithm is validated using an inertial particle-laden turbulent channel flow for different Stokes number cases.The particle concentration profiles and higher-order statistics of the carrier and dispersed phases agree well with the benchmark results.We investigated the effect of fluid velocity interpolation and numerical integration schemes of particle tracking algorithms on particle dispersion statistics.The suitability of fluid velocity interpolation schemes for predicting the particle dispersion statistics is discussed in the framework of the particle tracking algorithm coupled to the finite-volume solver.In addition,we present parallelization strategies implemented in the algorithm and evaluate their parallel performance.
文摘Objective:To identify potential key genes associated with pre-eclampsia through bioinformatics analysis,construct predictive models using machine-learning algorithms,and evaluate the models'performance in predicting pre-eclampsia.Methods:Gene-expression microarray datasets GSE10588,GSE66273,and GSE30186 related to pre-eclampsia were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus(GEO).Data were normalized using R,and differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified.LASSO regression was applied to further filter DEGs.Based on the selected DEGs,six machine-learning models-logistic regression(LR),random forest(RF),support vector machine(SVM),K-nearest neighbors(KNN),neural network(NN),and eXtreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)were built in R,and their performance was validated.Results:From the three datasets,a total of 1,363 genes were extracted.LASSO regression narrowed these to 265 candidate key genes.Multivariate analysis ultimately identified four genes closely associated with pre-eclampsia:EVI5,GCLM,LEP,and SYNPO2L.Using these four key genes,six machine-learning models were constructed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis showed that all models achieved AUC>0.9:LR(AUC=0.983,95%CI=0.942-0.998),RF(AUC=0.961,95%CI=0.912-0.987),SVM(AUC=0.936,95%CI=0.879-0.972),KNN(AUC=0.970,95%CI=0.924-0.992),NN(AUC=0.916,95%CI=0.854-0.958),and XGBoost(AUC=0.952,95%CI=0.900-0.982).There was no statistically significant difference among the AUCs of the models(P>0.05).Conclusion:This study identified four key genes linked to preeclampsia through integrated bioinformatics analysis.Predictive models built on these genes can accurately forecast the occurrence of pre-eclampsia,suggesting that the four genes may serve as potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and therapeutic targeting of pre-eclampsia.

文摘In the field of calculating the attack area of air-to-air missiles in modern air combat scenarios,the limitations of existing research,including real-time calculation,accuracy efficiency trade-off,and the absence of the three-dimensional attack area model,restrict their practical applications.To address these issues,an improved backtracking algorithm is proposed to improve calculation efficiency.A significant reduction in solution time and maintenance of accuracy in the three-dimensional attack area are achieved by using the proposed algorithm.Furthermore,the age-layered population structure genetic programming(ALPS-GP)algorithm is introduced to determine an analytical polynomial model of the three-dimensional attack area,considering real-time requirements.The accuracy of the polynomial model is enhanced through the coefficient correction using an improved gradient descent algorithm.The study reveals a remarkable combination of high accuracy and efficient real-time computation,with a mean error of 91.89 m using the analytical polynomial model of the three-dimensional attack area solved in just 10^(-4)s,thus meeting the requirements of real-time combat scenarios.
文摘This study presents a novel hybrid topology optimization and mold design framework that integrates process fitting,runner system optimization,and structural analysis to significantly enhance the performance of injection-molded parts.At its core,the framework employs a greedy algorithm that generates runner systems based on adjacency and shortest path principles,leading to improvements in both mechanical strength and material efficiency.The design optimization is validated through a series of rigorous experimental tests,including three-point bending and torsion tests performed on key-socket frames,ensuring that the optimized designs meet practical performance requirements.A critical innovation of the framework is the development of the Adjacent Element Temperature-Driven Prestress Algorithm(AETDPA),which refines the prediction of mechanical failure and strength fitting.This algorithm has been shown to deliver mesh-independent accuracy,thereby enhancing the reliability of simulation results across various design iterations.The framework’s adaptability is further demonstrated by its ability to adjust optimization methods based on the unique geometry of each part,thus accelerating the overall design process while ensuring struc-tural integrity.In addition to its immediate applications in injection molding,the study explores the potential extension of this framework to metal additive manufacturing,opening new avenues for its use in advanced manufacturing technologies.Numerical simulations,including finite element analysis,support the experimental findings and confirm that the optimized designs provide a balanced combination of strength,durability,and efficiency.Furthermore,the integration challenges with existing injection molding practices are addressed,underscoring the framework’s scalability and industrial relevance.Overall,this hybrid topology optimization framework offers a computationally efficient and robust solution for advanced manufacturing applications,promising significant improvements in design efficiency,cost-effectiveness,and product performance.Future work will focus on further enhancing algorithm robustness and exploring additional applications across diverse manufacturing processes.
文摘Aiming to solve the steering instability and hysteresis of agricultural robots in the process of movement,a fusion PID control method of particle swarm optimization(PSO)and genetic algorithm(GA)was proposed.The fusion algorithm took advantage of the fast optimization ability of PSO to optimize the population screening link of GA.The Simulink simulation results showed that the convergence of the fitness function of the fusion algorithm was accelerated,the system response adjustment time was reduced,and the overshoot was almost zero.Then the algorithm was applied to the steering test of agricultural robot in various scenes.After modeling the steering system of agricultural robot,the steering test results in the unloaded suspended state showed that the PID control based on fusion algorithm reduced the rise time,response adjustment time and overshoot of the system,and improved the response speed and stability of the system,compared with the artificial trial and error PID control and the PID control based on GA.The actual road steering test results showed that the PID control response rise time based on the fusion algorithm was the shortest,about 4.43 s.When the target pulse number was set to 100,the actual mean value in the steady-state regulation stage was about 102.9,which was the closest to the target value among the three control methods,and the overshoot was reduced at the same time.The steering test results under various scene states showed that the PID control based on the proposed fusion algorithm had good anti-interference ability,it can adapt to the changes of environment and load and improve the performance of the control system.It was effective in the steering control of agricultural robot.This method can provide a reference for the precise steering control of other robots.
