The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed edge devices from simple data collectors into intelligent units capable of local processing and collaborative learning. However, the vast amounts of sensitive data generated by these devices face severe constraints from “data silos” and risks of privacy breaches. Federated learning (FL), as a distributed collaborative paradigm that avoids sharing raw data, holds great promise in the IoT domain. Nevertheless, it remains vulnerable to gradient…
As artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, edge computing, and blockchain are increasingly integrated into long-term care (LTC) services, policymakers face complex and often non-compensatory trade-offs among affordability, workforce sustainability, service reliability, and data governance. Conventional compensatory evaluation models tend to mask critical structural weaknesses and limiting their usefulness for Smart LTC policy assessment. This study proposes and applies a Fuzzy Trade-Off-Aware Scoring with Conflicts (Fuzzy TASC) framework to evaluate Smart LTC system performance. Four…
This advanced research describes CycleGAN-RRW, a new reversible watermarking system for secure image ownership authentication. It uses Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks with adaptive feature encoding. In areas such as law, forensics, and telemedicine, digital images usually contain private info that may be changed or used without authorization. Existing watermarking methods may decrease image quality, may not be reversible, or need outside keys. To address these problems, our model embeds metadata into intermediate feature maps with…
Photovoltaic (PV) equivalent-circuit models are widely used for performance evaluation and diagnostics, but their usefulness relies on both accurate calibration and interpretable understanding of how parameters shape current–voltage (I–V) behavior. For nonlinear and strongly coupled PV models, conventional global sensitivity analysis can be computationally demanding and offer limited insight into effect direction and operating-point dependence. This study presents an method-oriented framework that integrates nature-inspired optimization with surrogate-based explainable global sensitivity analysis under a specified operating…
Fluoride materials are renowned for their exceptional optical transparency, ionic conductivity, and chemical stability, making them indispensable in a wide range of technological applications. Despite the previous extensive research on simple metal fluorides, the complex metal fluoride family—particularly compounds with AB2F8 stoichiometry—remains largely unexplored. In this work, we present the first comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) investigation of the rare and formerly unreported MgAu2F8 complex metal fluoride, systematically revealing its electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties under…
Quantization has emerged as an important technique for enabling efficient deployment of large language models (LLMs) by reducing their memory and computational requirements. This research conducts an evaluation of INT8 quantization on several state-of-the-art LLMs, GPT-2, LLaMA-2-7B-Chat and Qwen1.5-1.8B-Chat, across two hardware configurations: NVIDIA RTX4070 Laptop GPU and RTX4080 Laptop GPU and two tasks: text and code generation. By comparing quantized INT8 models with their FP16 counterparts and a human-written reference, we quantify the trade-offs…
Term weighting scheme and feature selection are two fundamental components in text classification (TC) systems, particularly in high-dimensional, multi-class, and imbalanced settings. Term weighting schemes aim to improve document representation by emphasizing discriminative terms across classes, while feature selection (FS) seeks to reduce dimensionality, eliminate irrelevant and redundant features, and enhance classification efficiency and effectiveness. However, most existing studies focus on FS independently of the term-weighting strategy used during document representation, thereby limiting the potential…
Image super-resolution is a significant area in the field of image processing, with broad applications across multiple domains. In recent years, advancements in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have led to an increased adoption of GAN-based methods in image super-resolution, yielding remarkable results. However, there is still a limited amount of research that systematically and comprehensively summarizes the various GAN-based techniques for image super-resolution. This paper provides a comparative study that elucidates the application differences of…
Crumb rubber concrete (CRC) has emerged as a sustainable solution to the environmental challenges posed by rubber waste. This study introduces an advanced mixed-random-aggregate mesoscale model for CRC based on the Base Force Element Method (BFEM) and the complementary energy principle. The model incorporates different rubber substitution ratios (0%–30%), rubber particle sizes (2 mm and 4 mm), and specimen dimensions (edge lengths of 100, 150, and 300 mm). These parameters are considered to investigate their…
Graphene has excellent mechanical, electrical and optical properties, which make it an ideal reinforcement phase for aluminum matrix composites. However, graphene is easy to agglomerate and has poor wettability with the aluminum matrix, resulting in unsatisfactory effects when added to the aluminum matrix. In this paper, the effects of transition metals (Cu, Ni, Co) on the bonding properties at the graphene/aluminum interface were systematically investigated using first-principles calculations. The computational results reveal significant differences in…
This study examines the phase-dependent structural, electronic, optical, and thermodynamic characteristics of the cubic, tetragonal, and orthorhombic phases of BaTiO3 using DFT simulations. Lattice parameters and bulk moduli computed through structural optimizations within the GGA-PBE framework are in good agreement with existing experimental and theoretical studies. All phases exhibit negative formation energies, indicating thermodynamic stability, with the orthorhombic phase being the most stable. Electronic structure calculations reveal indirect band gaps of 2.86, 2.96, and 3.43 eV…
Federated recommender systems (FedRS) enable collaborative model training while preserving user privacy, yet they remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, unreliable client updates, and misaligned incentives in decentralized environments. Existing approaches struggle to jointly preserve personalization, robustness, and trust when user data are highly non-IID and recommendation quality is governed by ranking-oriented objectives. To address these challenges, we propose a Trustworthy Federated Recommender System (T-FedRS) that extends federated neural collaborative filtering by integrating a ranking-aware reputation mechanism…
Glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites (GFRPCs) are extensively utilized in the aerospace, automotive, and structural sectors; nevertheless, their heterogeneous and abrasive characteristics result in rapid tool wear during drilling. Drill flank wear among various wear mechanisms notably influences hole quality and dimensional accuracy. This research investigates the impact of spindle speed, feed rate, and drill diameter on flank wear during dry drilling of GFRPC laminates with high-speed steel (HSS) twist drills. A full-factorial design with 81…

MAB phases are a class of layered ternary transition-metal borides, characterized by hard M-B slabs interleaved with softer A-element layers, and thus hold promise for wear-resistant and high-temperature structural applications. However, their compositional space and structural diversity remain insufficiently explored, limiting guidance for synthesis and property optimization. In this work, we perform a comprehensive exploration and screening of the MAB family using high-throughput first-principles calculations. We systematically identify 855 candidate MAB compounds with orthorhombic and…
The rapid deployment of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, such as large-scale photovoltaic (PV) power stations in modern power grids, has created a strong demand for edge-intelligent fault localization methods that can operate reliably under strict computational and memory constraints.
