Filtering process by means of band-pass finite impulse response (FIR) filter with the frequency range of 0.5–40 Hz is implemented at the outset to eliminate different artifacts and noises mixed with raw EEG signals. As EEGs are highly non-linear and non-stationary signals in nature, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is then used to analyze the signals in time-frequency domain. DWT with four level decomposition is performed using db6 mother wavelet for feature extraction. A new feature set, composed of eleven non-linear statistical features extracted from each sub-bands resulting from due to wavelet decomposition, is then fed to the input of artificial neural network (ANN) to classify the signal accurately. Finally, a novel algorithm named sequential window algorithm is carried out to improve the classification performance. 99.44% mean classification accuracy, 80.66% average sensitivity, 4.12 s mean latency and 0.2% average false positive rate (FPR) are achieved in this study. This study successfully reduces the latency time with more accuracy and significantly low FPR.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101169,"journal":{"name":"Soft Computing Letters","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100026"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666222121000150/pdfft?md5=b0a46d7fb7bc7f50f0cdf1f37d10e9e5&pid=1-s2.0-S2666222121000150-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88898780","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}

This work considers a solution to one such application of Search and Rescue operation, based on Cohort Intelligence (CI) methodology which aims at modelling the behaviour of candidates based on the interaction amongst each other to achieve a common goal. Every candidate improves its own behaviour by observing all other candidates in the cohort. This method results in the refinement of the performance of the entire system. The research done so far in this application using CI is associated with robots deployed in a static alien establishment. However, this assumption is not suitable in real-life scenarios. In this paper, the obstacle avoidance and path planning of a swarm of robots was implemented while considering a dynamic alien establishment. The problem of robots occasionally getting stuck in the non-convex obstacles has also been solved using a perturbation technique. The following test cases were implemented - No Obstacle Case (NOC), Stationary Obstacles Case (SOC), Single Dynamic Obstacle Case (SDOC), Multiple Dynamic Obstacles Case with Same Velocity (MDOC-SV) and Multiple Dynamic Obstacles Case with Different Velocities (MDOC-DV).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101169,"journal":{"name":"Soft Computing Letters","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100006"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.socl.2020.100006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"94303059","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}

The dependence of the polarizabilities, their frequency dependence and C6 coefficients on the one-electron basis set, the level of correlation and zero-point vibrational corrections was studied. Furthermore it was investigated whether relativistic effective core potentials (RECP) could be employed in such calculations. It was found that SOPPA(CCSD) and MCSCF calculations with large active spaces using basis sets of at least double augmented quadruple zeta quality give comparable results which in particular for SOPPA(CCSD) are in close agreement with the available experimental values.

The structure of the investigated system has been modeled by molecular dynamic simulations. Three equivalent structures of the investigated system were built to minimize the statistical structural error. Then the averaged structural data were taken into account to compute the macroscopic optical property. Quantum chemical time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations of the first-order nonlinear optical properties were performed. The first-order hyperpolarizability of the isolated molecule was calculated, under the influence of a polarized pumping beam. To evaluate the role of amorphous and crystalline environment the permanent local field in the bulk system was calculated. The obtained results are small; however, their effects on the first hyperpolarizabilities are large in comparison to changes in the linear optical property. Using a rigorous local field approach and the molecular dynamic modeled structure the photoinduced NLO property of p-terphenyl may be reproduced for the high power density laser beam.
