The motor systems are dynamically formulated by the mechanical and electrical equations. The real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA) is adopted to identify all parameters of motors, and the standard genetic algorithm (SRGA) and various adaptive genetic algorithm (ARGAs) are compared in the rotational angular speeds and fitness values, which are the inverse of square differences of angular speeds. From numerical simulations and experimental results, it is found that the SRGA and ARGA are feasible, the ARGA can effectively solve the problems with slow convergent speed and premature phenomenon, and is more accurate in identifying system’s parameters than the SRGA. From the comparisons of the ARGAs in identifying parameters of motors, the best ARGA method is obtained and could be applied to any other mechatronic systems.展开更多

Crop productivity obtained under these conditions varies significantly from one farmer to another, making it challenging to accurately estimate crop production through crop models. This limitation has implications for the reliability of using crop models as agricultural decision-making support tools. To support decision making in agriculture, an approach combining a genetic algorithm (GA) with the crop model AquaCrop is proposed for a location-specific calibration of maize cropping. In this approach, AquaCrop is used to simulate maize crop yield while the GA is used to derive optimal parameters set at grid cell resolution from various combinations of cultivar parameters and crop management in the process of crop and management options calibration. Statistics on pairwise simulated and observed yields indicate that the coefficient of determination varies from 0.20 to 0.65, with a yield deviation ranging from 8% to 36% across Burkina Faso (BF). An analysis of the optimal parameter sets shows that regardless of the climatic zone, a base temperature of 10˚C and an upper temperature of 32˚C is observed in at least 50% of grid cells. The growing season length and the harvest index vary significantly across BF, with the highest values found in the Soudanian zone and the lowest values in the Sahelian zone. Regarding management strategies, the fertility mean rate is approximately 35%, 39%, and 49% for the Sahelian, Soudano-sahelian, and Soudanian zones, respectively. The mean weed cover is around 36%, with the Sahelian and Soudano-sahelian zones showing the highest variability. The proposed approach can be an alternative to the conventional one-size-fits-all approach commonly used for regional crop modeling. Moreover, it has the potential to explore the performance of cropping strategies to adapt to changing climate conditions.展开更多

The present-ed algorithms are verified through co-simulation framework combining MATLAB and OpenDSS to carry out analysis for 12-bus radial distribution test system. The proposed numerical method is compared with other algorithms, such as ELF, LSF methods, and Genetic Algorithms (GA). Results show that the proposed numerical method performs well in comparison with LSF and ELF solutions.展开更多

To enhance the real-time performance and computational efficiency of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in path planning, the AGA incorporates an Equal-Size Clustering Algorithm (ESCA) based on the K-means clustering method. The ESCA divides the primary task evenly into a series of subtasks, thereby reducing the gene length in the subsequent GA process. The algorithm then employs GA to solve each subtask sequentially. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation program was designed to perform path planning for 100 trajectories, and the results were compared with those of State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) methods. The simulation results demonstrate that, although the solutions provided by AGA are suboptimal, it exhibits significant advantages in terms of execution speed and solution stability compared to other algorithms.展开更多

文摘Nonlinear wavefront shaping is crucial for advancing optical technologies,enabling applications in optical computation,information processing,and imaging.However,a significant challenge is that once a metasurface is fabricated,the nonlinear wavefront it generates is fixed,offering little flexibility.This limitation often necessitates the fabrication of different metasurfaces for different wavefronts,which is both time-consuming and inefficient.To address this,we combine evolutionary algorithms with spatial light modulators(SLMs)to dynamically control wavefronts using a single metasurface,reducing the need for multiple fabrications and enabling the generation of arbitrary nonlinear wavefront patterns without requiring complicated optical alignment.We demonstrate this approach by introducing a genetic algorithm(GA)to manipulate visible wavefronts converted from near-infrared light via third-harmonic generation(THG)in a silicon metasurface.The Si metasurface supports multipolar Mie resonances that strongly enhance light-matter interactions,thereby significantly boosting THG emission at resonant positions.Additionally,the cubic relationship between THG emission and the infrared input reduces noise in the diffractive patterns produced by the SLM.This allows for precise experimental engineering of the nonlinear emission patterns with fewer alignment constraints.Our approach paves the way for self-optimized nonlinear wavefront shaping,advancing optical computation and information processing techniques.

文摘Atrial Fibrillation(AF)is a cardiac disorder characterized by irregular heart rhythms,typically diagnosed using Electrocardiogram(ECG)signals.In remote regions with limited healthcare personnel,automated AF detection is extremely important.Although recent studies have explored various machine learning and deep learning approaches,challenges such as signal noise and subtle variations between AF and other cardiac rhythms continue to hinder accurate classification.In this study,we propose a novel framework that integrates robust preprocessing,comprehensive feature extraction,and an ensemble classification strategy.In the first step,ECG signals are divided into equal-sized segments using a 5-s sliding window with 50%overlap,followed by bandpass filtering between 0.5 and 45 Hz for noise removal.After preprocessing,both time and frequency-domain features are extracted,and a custom one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network—Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory(1D CNN-BiLSTM)architecture is introduced.Handcrafted and automated features are concatenated into a unified feature vector and classified using Support Vector Machine(SVM),Random Forest(RF),and Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)models.A Quantum Genetic Algorithm(QGA)optimizes weighted averages of the classifier outputs for multi-class classification,distinguishing among AF,noisy,normal,and other rhythms.Evaluated on the PhysioNet 2017 Cardiology Challenge dataset,the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 94.40%and an F1-score of 92.30%,outperforming several state-of-the-art techniques.
文摘The adoption of 5G for Railways(5G-R)is expanding,particularly in high-speed trains,due to the benefits offered by 5G technology.High-speed trains must provide seamless connectivity and Quality of Service(QoS)to ensure passengers have a satisfactory experience throughout their journey.Installing base stations along urban environments can improve coverage but can dramatically reduce the experience of users due to interference.In particular,when a user with a mobile phone is a passenger in a high speed train traversing between urban centres,the coverage and the 5G resources in general need to be adequate not to diminish her experience of the service.The utilization of macro,pico,and femto cells may optimize the utilization of 5G resources.In this paper,a Genetic Algorithm(GA)-based approach to address the challenges of 5G network planning for 5G-R services is presented.The network is divided into three cell types,macro,pico,and femto cells—and the optimization process is designed to achieve a balance between key objectives:providing comprehensive coverage,minimizing interference,and maximizing energy efficiency.The study focuses on environments with high user density,such as high-speed trains,where reliable and high-quality connectivity is critical.Through simulations,the effectiveness of the GA-driven framework in optimizing coverage and performance in such scenarios is demonstrated.The algorithm is compared with the Particle Swarm Optimisation(PSO)and the Simulated Annealing(SA)methods and interesting insights emerged.The GA offers a strong balance between coverage and efficiency,achieving significantly higher coverage than PSO while maintaining competitive energy efficiency and interference levels.Its steady fitness improvement and adaptability make it well-suited for scenarios where wide coverage is a priority alongside acceptable performance trade-offs.
