The presented configuration is composed of two parallel cells of Cuk converter with positive output polarity to charge the light electric vehicles (LEVs) at optimum power level. By interleaving the cells, the efficient and reliable charging of the battery is nurtured with reduced current stress and minimal input-output ripples improving the power quality (PQ) of the line current.

The proposed approach involves three key components. First, an enhanced coding method is introduced to ensure that the branch correlation matrix of a multi-load independent distribution system effectively captures the network structure characteristics of the system. Then, a pre-selection mechanism is incorporated into the algorithm to ensure that the algorithm obtains a more optimal initial population during the initialization phase, thus optimizing the convergence speed of the algorithm.

To address this issue, we propose a novel underwater multi-source data fusion model, incorporating multi-scale features detection and fusion. First, we extract shallow and deep features from multi-source data to detect rich local texture features and global structural features.

Specifically, we first design a modal-pair correlation module that calculates emotion semantic consistency across text, audio and video information. This module contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the emotional state by fusing complementary semantic information and assists in mitigating redundancy in pairwise interaction methods.

The intelligent monitoring system for soil erosion in pipeline projects based on deep learning constructed in this paper has achieved remarkable results.
