Abstract Multiple Automatic Guided Vehicle (multi-AGVs) management systems provide an effective solution to ensuring stable operations of multi-AGVs in the same scenario, such as flexible manufacturing systems, warehouses, container terminals, etc. This type of systems need to balance the relationship among the resources of the system and solve the problems existing in the operation to make the system in line with the requirement of the administrator. The multi-AGVs management problem is a multi-objective, multi-constraint combinatorial optimization problem, which depends on the types of application scenarios. This article classifies and compares the research papers on multi-AGVs management in detail. Firstly, according to… More >

Abstract As the quantity of garbage created every day rises, solid waste management has become the world’s most important issue. As a result, improper solid waste disposal and major sanitary issues develop, which are only detected after they have become dangerous. Due to the system’s lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, this scenario became much more uncertain. We are at the stage to develop and execute effective waste management procedures, as well as long-term policies and forward-thinking programmes that can work even in the most adverse of scenarios. We incorporate major solid waste (organic and inorganic solid wastes) approaches that actually perform… More >

Abstract Sentiment analysis task has widely been studied for various languages such as English and French. However, Roman Urdu sentiment analysis yet requires more attention from peer-researchers due to the lack of Off-the-Shelf Natural Language Processing (NLP) solutions. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the diverse machine learning methods for the sentiment analysis of Roman Urdu data which is very informal in nature and needs to be lexically normalized. To mitigate this challenge, we propose a fine-tuned Support Vector Machine (SVM) powered by Roman Urdu Stemmer. In our proposed scheme, the corpus data is initially cleaned to remove… More >

Abstract Tunnel portal sections often suffer serious damage in strong earthquake events. Earthquake waves may propagate in different directions, producing various dynamic responses in the tunnel portal. Based on the Galongla tunnel, which is located in a seismic region of China, three-dimensional seismic analysis is conducted to investigate the dynamic response of a tunnel portal subjected to earthquake waves with different vibration directions. In order to simulate the mechanic behavior of slope rock effectively, an elastoplastic damage model is adopted and applied to ABAQUS software by a self-compiled user material (UMAT) subroutine. Moreover, the seismic wave input method for tunnel portal… More >

Abstract Fish behavior analysis for recognizing stress is very important for fish welfare and production management in aquaculture. Recent advances have been made in fish behavior analysis based on deep learning. However, most existing methods with top performance rely on considerable memory and computational resources, which is impractical in the real-world scenario. In order to overcome the limitations of these methods, a new method based on knowledge distillation is proposed to identify the stress states of fish schools. The knowledge distillation architecture transfers additional inter-class information via a mixed relative loss function, and it forces a lightweight network (GhostNet) to mimic… More >

Abstract Workflow system has become a standard solution for managing a complex business process. How to guarantee its correctness is a key requirement. Many methods only focus on the control-flow verification, while they neglect the modeling and checking of data-flows. Although some studies are presented to repair the data-flow errors, they do not consider the effect of delete operations or weak circulation relations on the repairing results. What's more, repairing some data-flow errors may bring in new errors. In order to solve these problems, we use workflow net with data (WFD-net) systems to model and analyze a workflow system.

Abstract With the widespread use of mobile phones, users can share their location and activity anytime, anywhere, as a form of check-in data. These data reflect user features. Long-term stability and a set of user-shared features can be abstracted as user roles. This role is closely related to the users’ social background, occupation, and living habits. This study makes four main contributions to the literature. First, user feature models from different views for each user are constructed from the analysis of the check-in data. Second, the K-means algorithm is used to discover user roles from user features. Third, a reinforcement learning… More >

Abstract Deep Learning (DL) techniques as a subfield of data science are getting overwhelming attention mainly because of their ability to understand the underlying pattern of data in making classifications. These techniques require a considerable amount of data to efficiently train the DL models. Generally, when the data size is larger, the DL models perform better. However, it is not possible to have a considerable amount of data in different domains such as healthcare. In healthcare, it is impossible to have a substantial amount of data to solve medical problems using Artificial Intelligence, mainly due to ethical issues and the privacy… More >

Abstract Projection-based embedded discrete fracture model (pEDFM) is an effective numerical model to handle the flow in fractured reservoirs, with high efficiency and strong generalization of flow models. However, this paper points out that pEDFM fails to handle flow barriers in most cases, and identifies the physical projection configuration of fractures is a key step in pEDFM. This paper presents and proves the equivalence theorem, which explains the geometric nature of physical projection configurations of fractures, that is, the projection configuration of a fracture being physical is equivalent to it being topologically homeomorphic to the fracture, by analyzing the essence of… More >

Abstract This paper deals with the fixed-time adaptive time-varying matrix projective synchronization (ATVMPS) of different dimensional chaotic systems (DDCSs) with time delays and unknown parameters. Firstly, to estimate the unknown parameters, adaptive parameter updated laws are designed. Secondly, to realize the fixed-time ATVMPS of the time-delayed DDCSs, an adaptive delay-unrelated controller is designed, where time delays of chaotic systems are known or unknown. Thirdly, some simple fixed-time ATVMPS criteria are deduced, and the rigorous proof is provided by employing the inequality technique and Lyapunov theory. Furthermore, the settling time of fixed-time synchronization (Fix-TS) is obtained, which depends only on controller parameters… More >

In this paper, we aim to define certain new subclasses of an analytic function. We then give necessary and sufficient conditions for each of the defined function classes. We also study necessary and sufficient conditions for a function whose coefficients are probabilities of q-Poisson distribution. To validate our results, some known consequences are also given in the form of Remarks and Corollaries. More >

Abstract The introduction of the electronic medical record (EHR) sharing system has made a great contribution to the management and sharing of healthcare data. Considering referral treatment for patients, the original signature needs to be converted into a re-signature that can be verified by the new organization. Proxy re-signature (PRS) can be applied to this scenario so that authenticity and nonrepudiation can still be insured for data. Unfortunately, the existing PRS schemes cannot realize forward and backward security. Therefore, this paper proposes the first PRS scheme that can provide key-insulated property, which can guarantee both the forward and backward security of… More >

Abstract Water distribution network (WDN) leakage management has received increased attention in recent years. One of the most successful leakage-control strategies is to divide the network into District Metered Areas (DMAs). As a multi-staged technique, the generation of DMAs is a difficult task in design and implementation (i.e., clustering, sectorization, and performance evaluation). Previous studies on DMAs implementation did not consider the potential use of existing valves in achieving the objective. In this work, a methodology is proposed for detecting clusters and reducing the cost of additional valves and DMA sectorization by considering existing valves as much as possible. The procedure… More >

Abstract In the smart logistics industry, unmanned forklifts that intelligently identify logistics pallets can improve work efficiency in warehousing and transportation and are better than traditional manual forklifts driven by humans. Therefore, they play a critical role in smart warehousing, and semantics segmentation is an effective method to realize the intelligent identification of logistics pallets. However, most current recognition algorithms are ineffective due to the diverse types of pallets, their complex shapes, frequent blockades in production environments, and changing lighting conditions. This paper proposes a novel multi-feature fusion-guided multiscale bidirectional attention (MFMBA) neural network for logistics pallet segmentation. To better predict… More >

In the present work, the linear polynomial basis function is used as the weight function instead of the constant weight function used in the standard S-FEM. This improves the accuracy and yields an optimal convergence rate. The gradients are smoothed over each smoothing domain, then used to compute the stiffness matrix. Within the proposed scheme, an optimum topology procedure is conducted over the smoothing domains. Structural materials are distributed over each smoothing domain and… More >

In this study, weakly-singular SGBEM for fracture analysis of three-dimensional structures considering rotational inertia and gravitational forces are developed.
