Such network serves as an important tool to study the network structure of alters of the ego, and it is essential to present such network with good visualization. This work aims at introducing an efficient method, namely the Uniform Placement of Alters on Spherical Surface (U-PASS), to represent an ego-centric network so that all alters are scattered on the surface of the unit sphere uniformly. Unlike other simple uniformity that considers to maximize Euclidean distances among nodes, U-PASS is a three-stage method that spreads the alters with the consideration of existing edges among alters, no overlapping of node clusters, and node attribute information. Particle swarm optimization is employed to improve efficiency in node allocations. To guarantee the uniformity, we show the connection between our U-PASS to the minimum energy design on a two-dimensional flat plane with a specific gradient. Our simulation study shows good performance of U-PASS in terms of some distance statistics when compared to four state-of-the-art methods via self-organizing maps and force-driven approaches. We use a Facebook network to illustrate how this ego-centric network looks different after the alter nodes are allocated via our U-PASS.","PeriodicalId":50871,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Complex Systems","volume":"9 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135765348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional SCSLR methods usually rely on computer vison sensors, which are susceptible to effects such as hand shapes, lighting conditions, and occlusions, resulting in low recognition accuracy. Additionally, sensor-based SCSLR methods cannot achieve high recognition accuracy due to limited hand gesture information. In this paper, we propose a multi-sensor fusion method, using a DE–XGBoost model, to fuse the information of hand gesture and finger curvature to achieve the SCSLR, which can overcome the recognition error problems caused by insufficient sign language information. In addition, we design and implement a prototype system, which consists of a smartphone and a smart glove, to evaluate our proposed method in comparison with support vector machine (SVM), XGBoost, gcForest, and artificial neural network (ANN). Experimental results show that our proposed method achieves a better performance in terms of accuracy, robustness, and real-time processing.","PeriodicalId":50871,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Complex Systems","volume":"34 42","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135765492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novelty of this study is characterized by the proposal of a distinctive multi-objective intuitionistic fuzzy transportation model in which the demand function varies with time as the number of infected, exposed and susceptible persons increase. Forecasting of demand is executed using the epidemic diffusion model. Also, a new approach to defuzzify triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, depending upon the concept of the golden ratio, is presented. Intuitionistic fuzzy programming approach is used to obtain the pareto-optimal solution. A real-life numerical illustration is explained using the proposed methodology to examine its practical suitability.

To address this issue, facing Internet of Things (IoT), currently, some video recognition algorithm-based smart security monitoring systems have been designed. However, existing video recognition algorithms usually assume that the data comes from the same collection device or follows the same distribution, resulting in ineffective handling of cross-camera or cross-device recognition problems. In this vein, this paper designed a transfer learning-based smart exercise monitoring security protection system, and proposed a new transfer learning-based video recognition framework, which consists of backbone network module, style transfer module, video feature aggregation module three parts and using this framework, two different models can be trained based on video face recognition dataset and video action recognition dataset, respectively, for identity recognition and action recognition. Experimental results show that the proposed framework can effectively handle video face recognition and video action recognition problems, which also demonstrates that our designed smart exercise monitoring security protection system can meet actual task requirements.","PeriodicalId":50871,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Complex Systems","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135547273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the effects of human weight, gender, and other factors on the transmissibility of hand–arm vibration and vibration transmissibility in the [Formula: see text]-axis direction at the wrist site were randomly collected from 200 subjects (154 males and 46 females) as per the requirement of the standard ISO 10819. Moreover, the envelopes of the maximum and minimum values, as well as the mean and standard deviation of the vibration transmissibility at the wrist site, were obtained for both genders. Second, the effect of gender differences on the mean value of vibration transmissibility was analyzed. Finally, two three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) models of the hand–arm system were developed based on the average values of vibration transmissibility at the wrists of male and female subjects, respectively. The study revealed that the mean value of vibration transmissibility was greater in males than in females in the frequency range of 14–39 Hz. For the rest of the frequency ranges of females, their mean vibration transmissibility is greater than that of males, especially in the range 17–30 Hz. It was also observed that the vibration transmissibility of females is 10–18.5% smaller than that of males. The vibration transmissibility of females is greater than that of males by 40–83% when the frequencies are between 150 Hz and 250 Hz. The novelty of this proposed model is the prediction of model differences between males and females compared to other models that do so without considering gender differences. It is validated that the proposed modified model can be used to predict the vibration transmissibility of the wrist.","PeriodicalId":50871,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Complex Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136272244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
