    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.137, No.3, pp. 2077-2109, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.027353
    Abstract As indispensable components of superconducting circuit-based quantum computers, Josephson junctions determine how well superconducting qubits perform. Reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) can be used to recreate Josephson junction’s atomic structure based on experimental data, and the impact of the structure on junctions’ properties can be investigated by combining different analysis techniques. In order to build a physical model of the atomic structure and then analyze the factors that affect its performance, this paper briefly reviews the development and evolution of the RMC algorithm. It also summarizes the modeling process and structural feature analysis of the Josephson junction in combination with different… More >

    Abstract This work presents multi-fidelity multi-objective infill-sampling surrogate-assisted optimization for airfoil shape optimization. The optimization problem is posed to maximize the lift and drag coefficient ratio subject to airfoil geometry constraints. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and XFoil tools are used for high and low-fidelity simulations of the airfoil to find the real objective function value. A special multi-objective sub-optimization problem is proposed for multiple points infill sampling exploration to improve the surrogate model constructed. To validate and further assess the proposed methods, a conventional surrogate-assisted optimization method and an infill sampling surrogate-assisted optimization criterion are applied with multi-fidelity simulation, while their… More >

    Abstract The topological connectivity information derived from the brain functional network can bring new insights for diagnosing and analyzing dementia disorders. The brain functional network is suitable to bridge the correlation between abnormal connectivities and dementia disorders. However, it is challenging to access considerable amounts of brain functional network data, which hinders the widespread application of data-driven models in dementia diagnosis. In this study, a novel distribution-regularized adversarial graph auto-Encoder (DAGAE) with transformer is proposed to generate new fake brain functional networks to augment the brain functional network dataset, improving the dementia diagnosis accuracy of data-driven models.

The enhanced soft subspace clustering algorithm combines interclass separation and intraclass tightness information, which has strong results for image segmentation, but the clustering algorithm is vulnerable to noisy data and dependence on the initialized clustering center. However, the clustering algorithm is susceptible to the influence of noisy data and reliance on initialized clustering centers and falls into a local optimum; the clustering effect… More >

    Abstract As the banking industry gradually steps into the digital era of Bank 4.0, business competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and banks are also facing the problem of massive customer churn. To better maintain their customer resources, it is crucial for banks to accurately predict customers with a tendency to churn. Aiming at the typical binary classification problem like customer churn, this paper establishes an early-warning model for credit card customer churn. That is a dual search algorithm named GSAIBAS by incorporating Golden Sine Algorithm (GSA) and an Improved Beetle Antennae Search (IBAS) is proposed to optimize the parameters of the… More >

    Abstract With the widespread application of cloud computing and network virtualization technologies, more and more enterprise applications are directly deployed in the cloud. However, the traditional TCP/IP network transmission model does not fully consider the information security issues caused by the uncontrollable internet environment. Network security communication solutions represented by encrypted virtual private networks (VPN) are facing multiple security threats. In fact, during the communication process, the user application needs to protect not only the content of the communication but also the behavior of the communication, such as the communication relationship, the communication protocol, and so on. Inspired by blockchain and… More >

    Reliability Analysis of HEE Parameters via Progressive Type-II Censoring with Applications

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.137, No.3, pp. 2761-2793, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.028826

    Abstract A new extended exponential lifetime model called Harris extended-exponential (HEE) distribution for data modelling with increasing and decreasing hazard rate shapes has been considered. In the reliability context, researchers prefer to use censoring plans to collect data in order to achieve a compromise between total test time and/or test sample size. So, this study considers both maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimates of the Harris extended-exponential distribution parameters and some of its reliability indices using a progressive Type-II censoring strategy. Under the premise of independent gamma priors, the Bayesian estimation is created using the squared-error and general entropy loss functions. Due… More >

    Abstract The primary goal of this research is to determine the optimal agricultural field selection that would most effectively support manufacturing producers in manufacturing production while accounting for unpredictability and reliability in their decision-making. The PFS is known to address the levels of participation and non-participation. To begin, we introduce the novel concept of a PFZN, which is a hybrid structure of Pythagorean fuzzy sets and the ZN. The PFZN is graded in terms of membership and non-membership, as well as reliability, which provides a strong advice in real-world decision support concerns. The PFZN is a useful tool for dealing with… More >

    Abstract A high percentage of failure in pump elements originates from fatigue. This study focuses on the discharge section behavior, made of ductile iron, under dynamic load. An experimental protocol is established to collect the strain under pressurization and depressurization tests at specific locations. These experimental results are used to formulate the ultimate pressure expression function of the strain and the lateral surface of the discharge section and to validate finite element modeling. Fe-Safe is then used to assess the fatigue life cycle using different types of fatigue criteria (Coffin-Manson, Morrow, Goodman, and Soderberg). When the pressure is under 3000 PSI,… More >

    Abstract A four-element compact dual-band patch antenna having a common ground plane operating at 28/38 GHz is proposed for millimeter-wave communication systems in this paper. The multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna geometry consists of a slotted ellipse enclosed within a hollow circle which is orthogonally rotated with a connected partial ground at the back. The overall size of the four elements MIMO antenna is 2.24λ × 2.24λ (at 27.12 GHz). The prototype of four-element MIMO resonator is designed and printed using Rogers RT Duroid 5880 with εr = 2.2 and loss tangent = 0.0009 and having a thickness of 0.8 mm. It covers… More >

    Abstract We advanced an emerging federated learning technology in city intelligentization for tackling a real challenge— to learn damaged objects in aerial videos. A meta-learning system was integrated with the fuzzy broad learning system to further develop the theory of federated learning. Both the mixed picture set of aerial video segmentation and the 3D-reconstructed mixed-reality data were employed in the performance of the broad federated meta-learning system. The study results indicated that the object classification accuracy is up to 90% and the average time cost in damage detection is only 0.277 s. Consequently, the broad federated meta-learning system is efficient and… More >
