Two objectives are simultaneously considered, namely, the maximum completion time and the total energy consumptions. Firstly, each solution is encoded by a three-dimensional vector, i.e., factory assignment, scheduling, and machine assignment. Subsequently, an efficient initialization strategy embeds two heuristics are developed, which can increase the diversity of the population. Then, to improve the global search abilities, a Pareto-based crossover operator is designed to take more advantage of non-dominated solutions. Furthermore, a local search heuristic based on three parts encoding is embedded to enhance the searching performance. To enhance the local search abilities, the cooperation of the search operator is designed to obtain better non-dominated solutions. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is more efficient than the other three state-of-the-art algorithms. The results show that the Pareto optimal solution set obtained by the improved algorithm is superior to that of the traditional multiobjective algorithm in terms of diversity and convergence of the solution.","PeriodicalId":10451,"journal":{"name":"Cmes-computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136297050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed algorithm introduces a temporal squeeze-and-excite block into a simple CNN architecture and then utilizes it to recalibrate the weights of the feature outputs from the convolutional layer. By enhancing important features while suppressing useless ones, the model realizes gesture recognition efficiently. The last procedure of the proposed algorithm is utilizing a simple attention mechanism to enhance the learned representations of sEMG signals to perform multi-channel sEMG-based gesture recognition tasks. To evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed algorithm, we conduct experiments involving multi-gesture datasets Ninapro DB4 and Ninapro DB5 for both inter-session validation and subject-wise cross-validation. After a series of comparisons with the previous models, the proposed algorithm effectively increases the robustness with improved gesture recognition performance and generalization ability.","PeriodicalId":10451,"journal":{"name":"Cmes-computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135182952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the introduction of end-to-end direct regression methods, the field has entered a new stage of development. However, the regression results of joints that are more heavily influenced by external factors are not accurate enough even for the optimal method. In this paper, we propose an effective feature recalibration module based on the channel attention mechanism and a relative optimal calibration strategy, which is applied to the multi-view multi-person 3D human pose estimation task to achieve improved detection accuracy for joints that are more severely affected by external factors. Specifically, it achieves relative optimal weight adjustment of joint feature information through the recalibration module and strategy, which enables the model to learn the dependencies between joints and the dependencies between people and their corresponding joints. We call this method as the Efficient Recalibration Network (ER-Net).

This study focuses on the discharge section behavior, made of ductile iron, under dynamic load. An experimental protocol is established to collect the strain under pressurization and depressurization tests at specific locations. These experimental results are used to formulate the ultimate pressure expression function of the strain and the lateral surface of the discharge section and to validate finite element modeling. Fe-Safe is then used to assess the fatigue life cycle using different types of fatigue criteria (Coffin-Manson, Morrow, Goodman, and Soderberg). When the pressure is under 3000 PSI, pumps have an unlimited service life of 10<sup>7</sup> cycles, regardless of the criterion. However, for a pressure of 3555 PSI, only the Morrow criterion denotes a significant decrease in fatigue life cycles, as it considers the average stress. The topological optimization is then applied to the most critical pump model (with the lowest fatigue life cycle) to increase its fatigue life. Using the solid isotropic material with a penalization approach, the Abaqus Topology Optimization Module is employed. The goal is to reduce the strain energy density while keeping the volume within bounds. According to the findings, a 5% volume reduction causes the strain energy density to decrease from 1.06 to 0.66 10<sup>6</sup> J/m<sup>3</sup>. According to Morrow, the fatigue life cycle at 3,555 PSI is 782,425 longer than the initial 309,742 cycles.","PeriodicalId":10451,"journal":{"name":"Cmes-computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135894277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the continuous enrichment and extensive expansion of application scenarios, the safety of UAVs is constantly being challenged. To address this challenge, we propose algorithms to detect anomalous data collected from drones to improve drone safety. We deployed a one-class kernel extreme learning machine (OCKELM) to detect anomalies in drone data. By default, OCKELM uses the radial basis (RBF) kernel function as the kernel function of the model. To improve the performance of OCKELM, we choose a Triangular Global Alignment Kernel (TGAK) instead of an RBF Kernel and introduce the Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) algorithm to reconstruct UAV data. Based on the above improvements, we create a novel anomaly detection strategy FastICA-TGAK-OCELM. The method is finally validated on the UCI dataset and detected on the Aeronautical Laboratory Failures and Anomalies (ALFA) dataset. The experimental results show that compared with other methods, the accuracy of this method is improved by more than 30%, and point anomalies are effectively detected.","PeriodicalId":10451,"journal":{"name":"Cmes-computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences","volume":"232 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135535003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
