    Modified Differential Evolution Algorithm for Solving Dynamic Optimization with Existence of Infeasible Environments

    Mohamed A. Meselhi*, Saber M. Elsayed, Daryl L. Essam, Ruhul A. Sarker
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 1-17, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.027448
    Abstract Dynamic constrained optimization is a challenging research topic in which the objective function and/or constraints change over time. In such problems, it is commonly assumed that all problem instances are feasible. In reality some instances can be infeasible due to various practical issues, such as a sudden change in resource requirements or a big change in the availability of resources. Decision-makers have to determine whether a particular instance is feasible or not, as infeasible instances cannot be solved as there are no solutions to implement. In this case, locating the nearest feasible solution would be valuable information for the decision-makers.… More >

    Using BlazePose on Spatial Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks for Action Recognition

    Motasem S. Alsawadi1,*, El-Sayed M. El-kenawy2,3, Miguel Rio1
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 19-36, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.032499
    Abstract The ever-growing available visual data (i.e., uploaded videos and pictures by internet users) has attracted the research community's attention in the computer vision field. Therefore, finding efficient solutions to extract knowledge from these sources is imperative. Recently, the BlazePose system has been released for skeleton extraction from images oriented to mobile devices. With this skeleton graph representation in place, a Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network can be implemented to predict the action. We hypothesize that just by changing the skeleton input data for a different set of joints that offers more information about the action of interest, it is possible to… More >

    Performance Evaluation of Composite Electrolyte with GQD for All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries

    Sung Won Hwang, Dae-Ki Hong*
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 55-66, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.028845
    Abstract The use a stabilized lithium structure as cathode material for batteries could be a fundamental alternative in the development of next-generation energy storage devices. However, the lithium structure severely limits battery life causes safety concerns due to the growth of lithium (Li) dendrites during rapid charge/discharge cycles. Solid electrolytes, which are used in high-density energy storage devices and avoid the instability of liquid electrolytes, can be a promising alternative for next-generation batteries. Nevertheless, poor lithium ion conductivity and structural defects at room temperature have been pointed out as limitations. In this study, through the application of a low-dimensional graphene quantum… More >

    Jiang Wu1, Jianjun Zhang1, Wenwu Tan1, Hao Lan1,*, Sirao Zhang1, Ke Xiao2, Li Wang2, Haijun Lin1, Guang Sun3, Peng Guo4
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 67-82, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.030703
    Abstract Water resources are an indispensable and valuable resource for human survival and development. Water quality predicting plays an important role in the protection and development of water resources. It is difficult to predict water quality due to its random and trend changes. Therefore, a method of predicting water quality which combines Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and clustering model was proposed in this paper. By taking the water quality monitoring data of a certain river basin as a sample, the water quality Total Phosphorus (TP) index was selected as the prediction object. Firstly, the sample data was cleaned, stationary… More >

    Feature Fusion-Based Deep Learning Network to Recognize Table Tennis Actions

    Chih-Ta Yen1,*, Tz-Yun Chen2, Un-Hung Chen3, Guo-Chang Wang3, Zong-Xian Chen3
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 83-99, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.032739
    Abstract A system for classifying four basic table tennis strokes using wearable devices and deep learning networks is proposed in this study. The wearable device consisted of a six-axis sensor, Raspberry Pi 3, and a power bank. Multiple kernel sizes were used in convolutional neural network (CNN) to evaluate their performance for extracting features. Moreover, a multiscale CNN with two kernel sizes was used to perform feature fusion at different scales in a concatenated manner. The CNN achieved recognition of the four table tennis strokes. Experimental data were obtained from 20 research participants who wore sensors on the back of their… More >

    RBEBT: A ResNet-Based BA-ELM for Brain Tumor Classification

    Ziquan Zhu1, Muhammad Attique Khan2, Shui-Hua Wang1, Yu-Dong Zhang1,*
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 101-111, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.030790
    Abstract Brain tumor refers to the formation of abnormal cells in the brain. It can be divided into benign and malignant. The main diagnostic methods for brain tumors are plain X-ray film, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and so on. However, these artificial diagnosis methods are easily affected by external factors. Scholars have made such impressive progress in brain tumors classification by using convolutional neural network (CNN). However, there are still some problems: (i) There are many parameters in CNN, which require much calculation. (ii) The brain tumor data sets are relatively small, which may lead to the overfitting problem in CNN.… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 113-129, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.032502
    Abstract Construction Industry operates relying on various key economic indicators. One of these indicators is material prices. On the other hand, cost is a key concern in all operations of the construction industry. In the uncertain conditions, reliable cost forecasts become an important source of information. Material cost is one of the key components of the overall cost of construction. In addition, cost overrun is a common problem in the construction industry, where nine out of ten construction projects face cost overrun. In order to carry out a successful cost management strategy and prevent cost overruns, it is very important to… More >

    Nidhi Agarwal1,2, M. Gokilavani3, S. Nagarajan4, S. Saranya5, Hadeel Alsolai6, Sami Dhahbi7,*, Amira Sayed Abdelaziz8
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 141-152, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.030074
    Abstract In recent times, wireless sensor network (WSN) finds their suitability in several application areas, ranging from military to commercial ones. Since nodes in WSN are placed arbitrarily in the target field, node localization (NL) becomes essential where the positioning of the nodes can be determined by the aid of anchor nodes. The goal of any NL scheme is to improve the localization accuracy and reduce the localization error rate. With this motivation, this study focuses on the design of Intelligent Aquila Optimization Algorithm Based Node Localization Scheme (IAOAB-NLS) for WSN. The presented IAOAB-NLS model makes use of anchor nodes to… More >
