Utilizing linear stability and Hopf bifurcation analyses, we establish explicit criteria for the system's transition from stability to periodic oscillations. The incorporation of delay parameters clarifies essential thresholds for the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation. In contrast to Liu et al.

We additionally demonstrate global stability utilizing a Lyapunov functional and support our theoretical results with extensive numerical simulations. A stepwise implementation algorithm is also included to facilitate realistic deployment in IoT contexts.

This study evaluates the performance of an Attention-based Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model compared to a standard LSTM for predicting lake water levels over 5-day and 30-day intervals, utilizing five different input combinations at one of Hungary’s popular tourist destinations Lake Velence. The results demonstrate that the Attention-based LSTM consistently outperforms the standard LSTM, particularly in long-term forecasting, as it effectively captures relevant temporal dependencies and reduces error accumulation. Additionally, a Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between guest nights and environmental factors, including lake water level, precipitation, temperature, and evapotranspiration. The findings reveal a strong correlation between guest nights and both temperature and evapotranspiration, while the associations with lake water level and precipitation are relatively weak. This indicates that climate conditions, rather than hydrological variations, primarily drive visitor numbers.

This paper proposes a two-stage multi-objective optimization model for the secure and economic operations of DNs through integration of EVCSs and RERs. In stage 1, the power demands of EVCSs equipped with Level 1 (AC), Level 2 (AC), and Level 3 (DC) supply equipment are determined. This stage aims to ensure system stability and security while optimizing the energy fed to EVCSs to meet the power demand of EVs during charging. By following the network in stage 1, RERs in stage 2, especially solar and wind energy systems, are integrated with a focus on maximizing economic benefits. Simultaneously, the cost of power purchases from the grid by DN operators is minimized without affecting the stability and security of the network. Hourly fluctuations of electricity prices provided by the electricity market and contract prices of solar and wind energy systems are also taken into account in this stage to analyze their dynamic effect on the network performance. In both stages, voltage stability and voltage deviation tools are utilized to identify the most appropriate/suitable locations for EVCSs as well as solar and wind energy resources. The paper employs a single weight tree structure approach to handle the multi-objective optimization, as opposed to the traditional approach of converting multi-objectives into a single objective by using multiple weights.

Most research tends to prioritize metrics such as success rate and accuracy of fruit picking, leaving the examination of damage rates relatively overlooked. This study fills this gap by conducting a thorough examination of the factors contributing to damage rates in fruit harvesting robots, including the causes of damage, the types and sizes of bruises incurred, and the impact of occlusion, illumination conditions, and end effector orientation. Additionally, the research investigates strategies for minimizing damage rates, offering insights into optimizing fruit harvesting techniques to reduce potential damage. Occlusion, illumination, and gripper angle were found to significantly influence fruit damage. Specifically, a 10 % increase in occlusion raised damage by 1.18 %, a 100 Lumen/m<sup>2</sup> increase in illumination reduced damage by 10.5 %, and deviation from the optimal 90° gripper angle increased damage by 1.8 % per 10° shift. Overall, proper fruit orientation reduced damage by 40 %, minimal occlusion by 36 %, and optimal illumination by 25 %.
