Abstract This paper proposes an adaptive nonlinear proportional-derivative (ANPD) controller for a two-wheeled self-balancing robot (TWSB) modeled by the Lagrange equation with external forces. The proposed control scheme is designed based on the combination of a nonlinear proportional-derivative (NPD) controller and a genetic algorithm, in which the proportional-derivative (PD) parameters are updated online based on the tracking error and the preset error threshold. In addition, the genetic algorithm is employed to adaptively select initial controller parameters, contributing to system stability and improved control accuracy. The proposed controller is basic in design yet simple to implement. The… More >

Abstract Breast cancer diagnosis through mammography is a pivotal application within medical image-based diagnostics, integral for early detection and effective treatment. While deep learning has significantly advanced the analysis of mammographic images, challenges such as low contrast, image noise, and the high dimensionality of features often degrade model performance. Addressing these challenges, our study introduces a novel method integrating Genetic Algorithms (GA) with pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models to enhance feature selection and classification accuracy. Our approach involves a systematic process: first, we employ widely-used CNN architectures (VGG16, VGG19, MobileNet, and DenseNet) to extract a… More >

Abstract The quality of crushing, power consumption, and discharging performance of a straw crusher are greatly influenced by the characteristics of its internal flow field. To enhance the straw crusher’s flow field properties and improve the efficiency with which crushed material is discharged, first, the main structural parameters influencing the air flow in the crusher are discussed. Then, the coupled gas-solid flow field in the straw crusher is numerically calculated through solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and application of the discrete element method (DEM). Finally, the discharge performance index of the crusher is examined through detailed More >

Abstract In the context of China’s “double carbon” goals and rural revitalization strategy, the energy transition promotes the large-scale integration of distributed renewable energy into rural power grids. Considering the operational characteristics of rural microgrids and their impact on users, this paper establishes a two-layer scheduling model incorporating flexible loads. The upper-layer aims to minimize the comprehensive operating cost of the rural microgrid, while the lower-layer aims to minimize the total electricity cost for rural users. An Improved Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (IAGA) is proposed to solve the model. Results show that the two-layer scheduling model with More >

Abstract Demand-responsive transportation (DRT) is a flexible passenger service designed to enhance road efficiency, reduce peak-hour traffic, and boost passenger satisfaction. However, existing optimization methods for initial passenger requests fall short in addressing real-time passenger needs. Consequently, there is a need to develop real-time DRT route optimization methods that integrate both initial and real-time requests. This paper presents a two-stage, multi-objective optimization model for DRT vehicle scheduling. The first stage involves an initial scheduling model aimed at minimizing vehicle configuration, and operational, and CO₂ emission costs while ensuring passenger satisfaction. The second stage develops a real-time scheduling… More >

Abstract The generalized travelling salesman problem (GTSP), a generalization of the well-known travelling salesman problem (TSP), is considered for our study. Since the GTSP is NP-hard and very complex, finding exact solutions is highly expensive, we will develop genetic algorithms (GAs) to obtain heuristic solutions to the problem. In GAs, as the crossover is a very important process, the crossover methods proposed for the traditional TSP could be adapted for the GTSP. The sequential constructive crossover (SCX) and three other operators are adapted to use in GAs to solve the GTSP. The effectiveness of GA using More >

Abstract In this paper, considering the cost of base station, coverage, call quality, and other practical factors, a multi-objective optimal site planning scheme is proposed. Firstly, based on practical needs, mathematical modeling methods were used to establish mathematical expressions for the three sub-objectives of cost objectives, coverage objectives, and quality objectives. Then, a multi-objective optimization model was established by combining threshold and traffic volume constraints. In order to reduce the time complexity of optimization, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA) is used to solve the multi-objective optimization problem of site planning. Finally, a strategy for clustering… More >

Abstract Currently, distributed routing protocols are constrained by offering a single path between any pair of nodes, thereby limiting the potential throughput and overall network performance. This approach not only restricts the flow of data but also makes the network susceptible to failures in case the primary path is disrupted. In contrast, routing protocols that leverage multiple paths within the network offer a more resilient and efficient solution. Multipath routing, as a fundamental concept, surpasses the limitations of traditional shortest path first protocols. It not only redirects traffic to unused resources, effectively mitigating network congestion, but… More >
