Abstract This paper emphasizes a faster digital processing time while presenting an accurate method for identifying spine fractures in X-ray pictures. The study focuses on efficiency by utilizing many methods that include picture segmentation, feature reduction, and image classification. Two important elements are investigated to reduce the classification time: Using feature reduction software and leveraging the capabilities of sophisticated digital processing hardware. The researchers use different algorithms for picture enhancement, including the Wiener and Kalman filters, and they look into two background correction techniques. The article presents a technique for extracting textural features and evaluates three picture segmentation algorithms and three… More >

Abstract Metallic alloys for a given application are usually designed to achieve the desired properties by devising experiments based on experience, thermodynamic and kinetic principles, and various modeling and simulation exercises. However, the influence of process parameters and material properties is often non-linear and non-colligative. In recent years, machine learning (ML) has emerged as a promising tool to deal with the complex interrelation between composition, properties, and process parameters to facilitate accelerated discovery and development of new alloys and functionalities. In this study, we adopt an ML-based approach, coupled with genetic algorithm (GA) principles, to design novel copper alloys for achieving… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Quantum algorithms for unstructured search problems rely on the preparation of a uniform superposition, traditionally achieved through Hadamard gates. However, this incidentally creates an auxiliary search space consisting of nonsensical answers that do not belong in the search space and reduce the efficiency of the algorithm due to the need to neglect, un-compute, or destructively interfere with them. Previous approaches to removing this auxiliary search space yielded large circuit depth and required the use of ancillary qubits. We have developed an optimized general solver for a circuit that prepares a uniform superposition of any N states while minimizing depth and… More >

Abstract The large-scale multi-objective optimization algorithm (LSMOA), based on the grouping of decision variables, is an advanced method for handling high-dimensional decision variables. However, in practical problems, the interaction among decision variables is intricate, leading to large group sizes and suboptimal optimization effects; hence a large-scale multi-objective optimization algorithm based on weighted overlapping grouping of decision variables (MOEAWOD) is proposed in this paper. Initially, the decision variables are perturbed and categorized into convergence and diversity variables; subsequently, the convergence variables are subdivided into groups based on the interactions among different decision variables. If the size of a group surpasses the set… More >

Abstract The gravitational wave spacecraft is a complex multi-input multi-output dynamic system. The gravitational wave detection mission requires the spacecraft to achieve single spacecraft with two laser links and high-precision control. Establishing one spacecraft with two laser links, compared to one spacecraft with a single laser link, requires an upgraded decoupling algorithm for the link establishment. The decoupling algorithm we designed reassigns the degrees of freedom and forces in the control loop to ensure sufficient degrees of freedom for optical axis control. In addressing the distinct dynamic characteristics of different degrees of freedom, a transfer function compensation method is used in… More >

Abstract Rock bursts represent a formidable challenge in underground engineering, posing substantial risks to both infrastructure and human safety. These sudden and violent failures of rock masses are characterized by the rapid release of accumulated stress within the rock, leading to severe seismic events and structural damage. Therefore, the development of reliable prediction models for rock bursts is paramount to mitigating these hazards. This study aims to propose a tree-based model—a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM)—to predict the intensity of rock bursts in underground engineering. 322 actual rock burst cases are collected to constitute an exhaustive rock burst dataset, which serves… More >

Abstract Traditional laboratory tests for measuring rock uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) are tedious and time-consuming. There is a pressing need for more effective methods to determine rock UCS, especially in deep mining environments under high in-situ stress. Thus, this study aims to develop an advanced model for predicting the UCS of rock material in deep mining environments by combining three boosting-based machine learning methods with four optimization algorithms. For this purpose, the Lead-Zinc mine in Southwest China is considered as the case study. Rock density, P-wave velocity, and point load strength index are used as input variables, and UCS is regarded… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Although there is currently no unified standard theoretical formula for calculating the contact stress of cylindrical gears with a circular arc tooth trace (referred to as CATT gear), a mathematical model for determining the contact stress of CATT gear is essential for studying how parameters affect its contact stress and building the contact stress limit state equation for contact stress reliability analysis. In this study, a mathematical relationship between design parameters and contact stress is formulated using the Kriging Metamodel. To enhance the model’s accuracy, we propose a new hybrid algorithm that merges the genetic algorithm with the Quantum Particle… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of electric power systems, load estimation plays an important role in system operation and planning. Usually, load estimation techniques contain traditional, time series, regression analysis-based, and machine learning-based estimation. Since the machine learning-based method can lead to better performance, in this paper, a deep learning-based load estimation algorithm using image fingerprint and attention mechanism is proposed. First, an image fingerprint construction is proposed for training data. After the data preprocessing, the training data matrix is constructed by the cyclic shift and cubic spline interpolation. Then, the linear mapping and the gray-color transformation method are proposed to… More >
