Here, an unusual but interesting NPC phenomenon in the novel cesium cobalt chlorine (Cs₂CoCl₄) single crystal-based optoelectronic devices is reported, which simultaneously possess volatile resistive switching (RS) memory behavior. Joint experiment−theory characterizations reveal that the NPC behavior is derived from the intrinsic vacancy defects of Cs₂CoCl₄, which could trap photogenerated charge carriers and produce an internal electric field opposite to the applied electric field. Such NPC effect enables an abnormal photodetection performance with a decrease in electrical conductivity to illumination. Also, a large specific detectivity of 2.7 × 10¹² Jones and broadband NPC detection wavelength from 265 to 780 nm were achieved. In addition to the NPC response, the resulting devices demonstrate a volatile RS performance with a record-low electric field of 5 × 10⁴V m⁻¹. By integrating the characteristics of electric-pulse enhancement from RS and light-pulse depression from NPC, an artificial optoelectronic synapse was successfully demonstrated, and based on the simulation of artificial neural network algorithm, the recognition application of handwritten digital images was realized. These pioneer findings are anticipated to contribute significantly to the practical advancement of metal halides in the fields of in-memory technologies and artificial intelligence.</p>","PeriodicalId":18069,"journal":{"name":"Light-Science & Applications","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142758449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing methods of the guardrail layout mainly rely on manual design or mathematical models, which are not flexible or effective enough for crowd control in large public places. To address this limitation, this paper introduces a novel automated optimization framework for guidance guardrails based on a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. The paper incorporates guidance signs into the guardrails and designs a coding-decoding scheme based on Gray code to enhance the flexibility of the guardrail layout. In addition to optimizing pedestrian passage efficiency and safety, the paper also considers the situation of pedestrian counterflow, making the guardrail layout more practical. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method in alleviating safety hazards caused by potential congestion, as well as its significant improvements in passage efficiency and prevention of pedestrian counterflow.","PeriodicalId":65786,"journal":{"name":"复杂系统建模与仿真(英文)","volume":"4 4","pages":"353-367"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10820945","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142918104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the rapid development in big data and artificial intelligence motivates long-haul freeway logistics towards informatization and intellectualization, the transportation of bulk commodities still faces serious challenges arisen from dispersed freight demands and the lack of co-ordination among different operators. The present study thereby proposed intelligent algorithms for truck dispatching for freeway logistics. Specifically, our contributions include the establishment of mathematical models for full-truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation modes, respectively, and the introduction of reinforcement learning with deep Q-networks tailored for each transportation mode to improve the decision-making in order acceptance and truck repositioning. Simulation experiments based on the real-world freeway logistics data collected in Guiyang, China show that our algorithms improved operational profitability substantially with a 76% and 30% revenue increase for FTL and LTL modes, respectively, compared with single-stage optimization. These results demonstrate the potential of reinforcement learning in revolutionizing freeway logistics and should lay a foundation for future research in intelligent logistics systems.","PeriodicalId":65786,"journal":{"name":"复杂系统建模与仿真(英文)","volume":"4 4","pages":"368-386"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10820940","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142918106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a Graph Pointer Network (GPN) based Hierarchical Curriculum Reinforcement Learning (HCRL) method is proposed to solve Shuttle Tankers Scheduling Problem (STSP). The model is trained to divide STSP into voyage and operation stages and generate routing and inventory management decisions sequentially. An asynchronous training strategy is developed to address the coupling between stages. Comparison experiments demonstrate that the proposed HCRL method achieves 12% shorter tour lengths on average compared to heuristic algorithms.

This study focuses on solving a surgery scheduling problem with setup time. First, a mathematical model is created to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan) of all surgeries and patient waiting time, simultaneously. The time by the fatigue effect is included in the surgery time, which is caused by doctors' long working time. Second, four mate-heuristics are optimized to address the relevant problems. Three novel strategies are designed to improve the quality of the initial solutions. To improve the convergence of the algorithms, seven local search operators are proposed based on the characteristics of the surgery scheduling problems. Third, Q-learning is used to dynamically choose the optimal local search operator for the current state in each iteration. Finally, by comparing the experimental results of 30 instances, the Q-learning based local search strategy's effectiveness is verified. Among all the compared algorithms, the improved artificial bee colony (ABC) with Q-learning based local search has the best competitiveness.","PeriodicalId":65786,"journal":{"name":"复杂系统建模与仿真(英文)","volume":"4 4","pages":"321-338"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10820941","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142918240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its batch planning and scheduling are connected to the production contract plan at the upper level and the production process control at the lower level, which is the key to achieving efficient and full process steel manufacturing. Batch planning determines the location of the slabs to be produced in the converter, ladle, continuous casting machine, and hot rolling mill by combining production orders, process standards, and production conditions. Production scheduling, guided by batch planning, combines production performance indicators, process constraints, etc., to determine the equipment selection and start-stop times of specific production units at each process. The synergy of the two aims to optimize production profitability, energy consumption, efficiency, etc., through rational decisions, ensuring the efficiency and flexibility of the steel production process. However, due to the traditional “divide and conquer” management mode and the influence of many uncertain factors, it is difficult to ensure the flexible balance between the demand and capacity, as well as a reasonable matching of logistics and resources among the production processes that operate independently. Considering the uncertain environment and the integration of SM-CC-HR, this paper summarizes the research status of previous scholars from three aspects: mathematical modeling, model optimization, and algorithm optimization based on the Lagrangian framework. It discusses the research status of batch planning and scheduling methods for SM-CC-HR production based on the Lagrangian relaxation framework, analyzes the problems existing in current research, and points out the main research directions and important research contents in the future, in order to promote the research and application of batch planning and scheduling problems for SM-CC-HR under uncertain environments.","PeriodicalId":65786,"journal":{"name":"复杂系统建模与仿真(英文)","volume":"4 4","pages":"387-401"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10820944","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142918105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its practical application under normal sunlight conditions has been hindered by the narrow NIR excitation bandwidth and the low UC efficiency of conventional materials. Here, we report the design of an efficient multiband UC system based on Ln³⁺/Yb³⁺-doped core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (Ln/Yb-UCNPs, Ln³⁺= Ho³⁺, Er³⁺, Tm³⁺). In our design, Ln³⁺ ions are incorporated into distinct layers of Ln/Yb-UCNPs to function as near-infrared (NIR) absorbers across different spectral ranges. This design achieves broad multiband absorption withtin the 1100 to 2200 nm range, with an aggregated bandwidth of ~500 nm. We have identified a synthetic electron pumping (SEP) effect involving Yb³⁺ ions, facilitated by the synergistic interplay of energy transfer and cross-relaxation between Yb³⁺ and other ions Ln³⁺ (Ho³⁺, Er³⁺, Tm³⁺). This SEP effect enhances the UC efficiency of the nanomaterials by effectively transferring electrons from the low-excited states of Ln³⁺ to the excited state of Yb³⁺, resulting in intense Yb³⁺ luminescence at ~980 nm within the optimal response region for SSCs, thus markedly improving their overall performance. The SSCs integrated with Ln/Yb-UCNPs with multiband excitation demonstrate the largest reported NIR response range up to 2200 nm, while enabling the highest improvement in absolute photovoltaic efficiency reported, with an increase of 0.87% (resulting in a total efficiency of 19.37%) under standard AM 1.5 G irradiation.
