The aim of this optimization is to reduce engine emissions in terms of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are the causes of diverse environmental problems such as air pollution and global warming. Stationary engine tests were performed for data generation, covering 60 operating conditions.

First, a new DFA named Multi - Objective Deterministic Finite Automata (MDFA) is defined. MDFA allows the representation of the feasible solutions space of combinatorial problems. Second, it is defined and implemented a metaheuritic based on MDFA theory. It is named Metaheuristic of Deterministic Swapping (MODS). MODS is a local search strategy that works using a MDFA. Due to this, MODS never take into account unfeasible solutions. Hence, it is not necessary to verify the problem constraints for a new solution found. Lastly, MODS is tested using well know instances of the Bi-Objective Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) from TSPLIB. Its results were compared with eight Ant Colony inspired algorithms and two Genetic algorithms taken from the specialized literature. The comparison was made using metrics such as Spacing, Generational Distance, Inverse Generational Distance and No-Dominated Generation Vectors. In every case, the MODS results on the metrics were always better and in some of those cases, the superiority was 100%.展开更多

However,air?release and cavitation can occur near the grooves. The valve plate utilizing damping holes show excellent perfor?mance in avoiding air?release and cavitation. This study aims to reduce the noise emitted from an axial piston pump using a novel valve plate utilizing damping holes. A dynamic pump model is developed,in which the fluid properties are carefully modeled to capture the phenomena of air release and cavitation. The causes of di erent noise sources are investigated using the model. A comprehensive parametric analysis is conducted to enhance the understanding of the e ects of the valve plate parameters on the noise sources. A multi?objective genetic algorithm optimization method is proposed to optimize the parameters of valve plate. The amplitudes of the swash plate moment and flow rates in the inlet and outlet ports are defined as the objective functions. The pressure overshoot and undershoot in the piston chamber are limited by properly constraining the highest and lowest pressure values. A comparison of the various noise sources between the original and optimized designs over a wide range of pressure levels shows that the noise sources are reduced at high pressures. The results of the sound pressure level measurements show that the optimized valve plate reduces the noise level by 1.6 d B(A) at the rated working condition. The proposed method is e ective in reducing the noise of axial piston pumps and contributes to the development of quieter axial piston machines.展开更多

摘要To performance efficient searching for an operator-supervised mobile robot, a multiple objectives route planning approach is proposed considering timeliness and path cost. An improved fitness function for route planning is proposed based on the multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) for multiple objectives traveling salesman problem (MOTSP). Then, the path between two route nodes is generated based on the heuristic path planning method A *. A simplified timeliness function for route nodes is proposed to represent the timeliness of each node. Based on the proposed timeliness function, experiments are conducted using the proposed two-stage planning method. The experimental results show that the proposed MOGA with improved fitness function can perform the searching function well when the timeliness of the searching task needs to be taken into consideration.

摘要Agriculture plays a vital role in the food production process that occupies nearly one-third of the total surface of the earth.Rice is propagated from the seeds of paddy and it is a stable food almost used byfifty percent of the total world population.The extensive growth of the human population alarms us to ensure food security and the country should take proper food steps to improve the yield of food grains.This paper concentrates on improving the yield of paddy by predicting the factors that influence the growth of paddy with the help of Evolutionary Computation Techniques.Most of the researchers used to relay on historical records of meteorological parameters to predict the yield of paddy.There is a lack in analyzing the day to day impact of meteorological parameters such as direction of wind,relative humidity,Instant Wind Speed in paddy cultivation.The real time meteorological data collected and analysis the impact of weather parameters from the day of paddy sowing to till the last day of paddy harvesting with regular time series.A Robust Optimized Artificial Neural Network(ROANN)Algorithm with Genetic Algorithm(GA)and Multi Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm(MOPSO)proposed to predict the factors that to be concentrated by farmers to improve the paddy yield in cultivation.A real time paddy data collected from farmers of Tamilnadu and the meteorological parameters were matched with the cropping pattern of the farmers to construct the database.The input parameters were optimized either by using GA or MOPSO optimization algorithms to reconstruct the database.Reconstructed database optimized by using Artificial Neural Network Back Propagation Algorithm.The reason for improving the growth of paddy was identified using the output of the Neural Network.Performance metrics such as Accuracy,Error Rate etc were used to measure the performance of the proposed algorithm.Comparative analysis made between ANN with GA and ANN with MOPSO to identify the recommendations for improving the paddy yield.

摘要This paper states a new metaheuristic based on Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) for the multi - objective optimization of combinatorial problems. First, a new DFA named Multi - Objective Deterministic Finite Automata (MDFA) is defined. MDFA allows the representation of the feasible solutions space of combinatorial problems. Second, it is defined and implemented a metaheuritic based on MDFA theory. It is named Metaheuristic of Deterministic Swapping (MODS). MODS is a local search strategy that works using a MDFA. Due to this, MODS never take into account unfeasible solutions. Hence, it is not necessary to verify the problem constraints for a new solution found. Lastly, MODS is tested using well know instances of the Bi-Objective Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) from TSPLIB. Its results were compared with eight Ant Colony inspired algorithms and two Genetic algorithms taken from the specialized literature. The comparison was made using metrics such as Spacing, Generational Distance, Inverse Generational Distance and No-Dominated Generation Vectors. In every case, the MODS results on the metrics were always better and in some of those cases, the superiority was 100%.

摘要Redundant manipulators possess additional degrees of freedom that enable superior dexterity,adaptability,and fault tolerance in complex environments.However,this redundancy also introduces challenges in inverse kinematics(IK)and redundancy resolution,as multiple feasible joint configurations may exist for a given end-effector task.This review systematically summarizes the state of the art in IK methods and optimization objectives for redundant manipulators.It first classifies IK approaches into analytical,numerical,optimization-based,and artificial intelligence-driven categories,highlighting their mathematical foundations,computational efficiency,and real-time feasibility.Next,various optimization objectives are analyzed from three perspectives:manipulability and dexterity indices,joint-level criteria such as torque or energy minimization,and task-level performance metrics including accuracy,smoothness,and collision avoidance.The integration of IK and redundancy resolution within hierarchical control,task-priority,and multi-objective frameworks is discussed,along with representative applications in industrial,medical,service,and space robotics.Finally,emerging research directions are identified,including hybrid learning-optimization paradigms,system-level fusion,collaborative redundancy resolution in multi-agent systems,and digital twin-enabled evaluation for trustworthy deployment.This survey provides both theoretical and practical insights for developing adaptive,explainable,and deployable redundancy-resolution systems for next-generation intelligent robots.

摘要In the era of big data,reinforcement learning(RL)has emerged as a powerful data-driven optimization approach in materials science,enabling unprecedented advances in material design and performance improvement.Unlike traditional trial-and-error and physics-based approaches,RL agents autonomously identify optimal strategies across high-dimensional and dynamic design spaces by iterative interactions with complex environments.This capability makes RL especially effective for target optimization and sequential decision-making in challenging materials science problems.In this review,we present a comprehensive overview of fundamental RL algorithms,including Q-learning,deep Q-networks(DQN),actor-critic methods,and deep deterministic policy gradient(DDPG).Then,the core mechanisms,advantages,limitations,and representative applications of RL in materials discovery,property optimization,process control,and manufacturing are discussed systematically.Lastly,key future research directions and opportunities are outlined.The perspectives presented herein aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and drive innovation at the frontier of AI‑driven materials science.

摘要Oxaliplatin(OXA),a critical third‐generation platinum chemotherapeutic,is significantly limited by suboptimal loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency in nanoparticle‐based delivery systems.To address this,we developed an integrated machine learning(ML)and multi‐objective optimization(MOO)framework for the simultaneous prediction and exploration of loading efficiency(LE)and encapsulation efficiency(EE).Ensemble learning models,trained on a curated dataset of 70 experimentally characterized nanocarrier formulations,demonstrated robust predictive performance under stringent leave‐one‐paper‐out(LOPO)cross‐validation(R2=0.87 for LE,R2=0.84 for EE).The multi‐objective exploration identified a Pareto‐optimal design space,with predicted performance reaching up to 45.3%LE and 87.2%EE,and pinpointed a balanced knee‐point formulation at 40.2%LE and 83.7%EE.Interpretable ML analysis revealed surface area‐to‐volume ratio,coordination site availability,and zeta potential as the primary physicochemical drivers of OXA loading and retention.Consequently,an optimized nanocarrier profile,characterized by a particle size of 90-110 nm,a negative surface charge,and a carboxylate‐rich composition,was derived.This study establishes a predictive,data‐driven computational framework that bridges the gap between single‐objective prediction and the holistic design of high‐performance nanocarriers,providing a rational blueprint for accelerating the development of more effective OXA‐based nanotherapies for colorectal cancer.
摘要Deconvolution is a mathematical technique that eliminates the effects of production rate variations in pressure transient data,enabling the recovery of a smoother pressure signal extended across both drawdown and buildup periods.This approach has distinct advantages over conventional analysis methods,including enhanced radius of investigation,improved derivative quality,and simplified use of existing interpretation techniques.Since the introduction of von Schroeter deconvolution method,as the first stable algorithm,in the early 2000s,several researchers have advanced the methodology by refining algorithms and improving the objective functions that govern their performance.Despite these developments,the definition of a robust and reliable objective function remains a challenge in achieving accurate deconvolution results.This study introduces a new objective function(NOF)for well test deconvolution that simplifies weighting schemes,eliminates subjective parameter tuning,and improves robustness under noisy conditions.Unlike earlier methods,the NOF assigns automated weights to pressure and rate measurements based on gauge accuracy,ensuring objective normalization of errors and removing the need for the unresolved flow rate regularization parameter.This streamlined approach not only reduces complexity but also enhances accuracy.The proposed noise-oriented NOF consistently outperformed traditional formulations across all simulated and field cases.In four synthetic examples with varying reservoir conditions and noise levels,the NOF successfully recovered smooth pressure responses and accurate flow rates,while the original von Schroeter and Levitan objective functions produced distorted or shifted signals and failed to adjust rates.Quantitative comparisons showed that this study produces a marked reduction in average deconvolution errors.This study enhances the stability and accuracy of deconvolution and offers a practical and superior tool for reservoir characterization,making it easier for engineers to extract meaningful reservoir properties,extend the radius of investigation,and reduce interpretation errors in real field applications.

摘要Current researches mainly focus on the investigations of the valve plate utilizing pressure relief grooves. However,air?release and cavitation can occur near the grooves. The valve plate utilizing damping holes show excellent perfor?mance in avoiding air?release and cavitation. This study aims to reduce the noise emitted from an axial piston pump using a novel valve plate utilizing damping holes. A dynamic pump model is developed,in which the fluid properties are carefully modeled to capture the phenomena of air release and cavitation. The causes of di erent noise sources are investigated using the model. A comprehensive parametric analysis is conducted to enhance the understanding of the e ects of the valve plate parameters on the noise sources. A multi?objective genetic algorithm optimization method is proposed to optimize the parameters of valve plate. The amplitudes of the swash plate moment and flow rates in the inlet and outlet ports are defined as the objective functions. The pressure overshoot and undershoot in the piston chamber are limited by properly constraining the highest and lowest pressure values. A comparison of the various noise sources between the original and optimized designs over a wide range of pressure levels shows that the noise sources are reduced at high pressures. The results of the sound pressure level measurements show that the optimized valve plate reduces the noise level by 1.6 d B(A) at the rated working condition. The proposed method is e ective in reducing the noise of axial piston pumps and contributes to the development of quieter axial piston machines.

摘要High-speed locomotives are prone to carbody or bogie hunting when the wheel-rail contact conicity is excessively low or high.This can cause negative impacts on vehicle dynamics performance.This study presents four types of typical yaw damper layouts for a high-speed locomotive(Bo-Bo)and compares,by using the multi-objective optimization method,the influences of those layouts on the lateral dynamics performance of the locomotive;the linear stability indexes under lowconicity and high-conicity conditions are selected as optimization objectives.Furthermore,the radial basis function-based highdimensional model representation(RBF-HDMR)method is used to conduct a global sensitivity analysis(GSA)between key suspension parameters and the lateral dynamics performance of the locomotive,including the lateral ride comfort on straight tracks under the low-conicity condition,and also the operational safety on curved tracks.It is concluded that the layout of yaw dampers has a considerable impact on low-conicity stability and lateral ride comfort but has little influence on curving performance.There is also an important finding that only when the locomotive adopts the layout with opening outward,the difference in lateral ride comfort between the front and rear ends of the carbody can be eliminated by adjusting the lateral installation angle of the yaw dampers.Finally,force analysis and modal analysis methods are adopted to explain the influence mechanism of yaw damper layouts on the lateral stability and differences in lateral ride comfort between the front and rear ends of the carbody.
