Abstract Iced transmission line galloping poses a significant threat to the safety and reliability of power systems, leading directly to line tripping, disconnections, and power outages. Existing early warning methods of iced transmission line galloping suffer from issues such as reliance on a single data source, neglect of irregular time series, and lack of attention-based closed-loop feedback, resulting in high rates of missed and false alarms. To address these challenges, we propose an Internet of Things (IoT) empowered early warning method of transmission line galloping that integrates time series data from optical fiber sensing and weather… More >

Abstract Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), which uses single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), is a well-known estimating tool for medical diagnosis, employing the classification of images to show situations in coronary artery disease (CAD). The automatic classification of SPECT images for different techniques has achieved near-optimal accuracy when using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This paper uses a SPECT classification framework with three steps: 1) Image denoising, 2) Attenuation correction, and 3) Image classification. Image denoising is done by a U-Net architecture that ensures effective image denoising. Attenuation correction is implemented by a convolution neural network model that… More >

Abstract Traditional e-commerce recommendation systems often struggle with dynamic user preferences and a vast array of products, leading to suboptimal user experiences. To address this, our study presents a Personalized Adaptive Multi-Product Recommendation System (PAMR) leveraging transfer learning and Bi-GRU (Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units). Using a large dataset of user reviews from Amazon and Flipkart, we employ transfer learning with pre-trained models (AlexNet, GoogleNet, ResNet-50) to extract high-level attributes from product data, ensuring effective feature representation even with limited data. Bi-GRU captures both spatial and sequential dependencies in user-item interactions. The innovation of this study lies… More >

Abstract Fabric-based materials have demonstrated promise for high-performance wearable applications but are currently restricted by their deficient mechanical properties. Here, we leverage the design freedom offered by additive manufacturing and a novel interlocking pattern to for the first time fabricate a dual-faced chain mail structure consisting of three-dimensional re-entrant unit cells. The flexible structured fabric demonstrates high specific energy absorption and specific strength of up to 1530 J/kg and 5900 N·m/kg, respectively, together with an excellent recovery ratio of ~80%, thereby overcoming the strength–recoverability trade-off. The designed dual-faced structured fabric compares favorably against a wide range More >

Abstract Robotic Laser-Directed Energy Deposition (L-DED) offers significant advantages in terms of workplace size and kinematic flexibility for part fabrication. However, its potential is hindered by challenges such as toolpath precision and speed inconsistency compared to traditional CNC machines. These limitations critically affect melt pool dynamics, temperature consistency, and ultimately, the geometric integrity of fabricated parts, areas that are still not thoroughly understood or quantified.
This preliminary research aims to investigate the impact of these inaccuracies on melt pool morphology and part quality, utilizing in-situ collected speed/position data with a digital twin model, notably the Eagar-Tsai… More >

Abstract Agile Transformations are challenging processes for organizations that look to extend the benefits of Agile philosophy and methods beyond software engineering. Despite the impact of these transformations on organizations, they have not been extensively studied in academia. We conducted a study grounded in workshops and interviews with 99 participants from 30 organizations, including organizations undergoing transformations (“final organizations”) and companies supporting these processes (“consultants”). The study aims to understand the motivations, objectives, and factors driving and challenging these transformations. Over 700 responses were collected to the question and categorized into 32 objectives. The findings show More >

Abstract The traffic within data centers exhibits bursts and unpredictable patterns. This rapid growth in network traffic has two consequences: it surpasses the inherent capacity of the network’s link bandwidth and creates an imbalanced network load. Consequently, persistent overload situations eventually result in network congestion. The Software Defined Network (SDN) technology is employed in data centers as a network architecture to enhance performance. This paper introduces an adaptive congestion control strategy, named DA-DCTCP, for SDN-based Data Centers. It incorporates Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) and Round-Trip Time (RTT) to establish congestion awareness and an ECN marking model.… More >

Abstract To address the challenges of video copyright protection and ensure the perfect recovery of original video, we propose a dual-domain watermarking scheme for digital video, inspired by Robust Reversible Watermarking (RRW) technology used in digital images. Our approach introduces a parameter optimization strategy that incrementally adjusts scheme parameters through attack simulation fitting, allowing for adaptive tuning of experimental parameters. In this scheme, the low-frequency Polar Harmonic Transform (PHT) moment is utilized as the embedding domain for robust watermarking, enhancing stability against simulation attacks while implementing the parameter optimization strategy. Through extensive attack simulations across various… More >

Abstract This paper proposes an adaptive nonlinear proportional-derivative (ANPD) controller for a two-wheeled self-balancing robot (TWSB) modeled by the Lagrange equation with external forces. The proposed control scheme is designed based on the combination of a nonlinear proportional-derivative (NPD) controller and a genetic algorithm, in which the proportional-derivative (PD) parameters are updated online based on the tracking error and the preset error threshold. In addition, the genetic algorithm is employed to adaptively select initial controller parameters, contributing to system stability and improved control accuracy. The proposed controller is basic in design yet simple to implement. The… More >

Abstract Dynamic impacts such as wind and earthquakes cause loss of life and economic damage. To ensure safety against these effects, various measures have been taken from past to present and solutions have been developed using different technologies. Tall buildings are more susceptible to vibrations such as wind and earthquakes. Therefore, vibration control has become an important issue in civil engineering. This study optimizes tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) using far-fault ground motion records. This study derives the optimum parameters of TMDI using the Adaptive Harmony Search algorithm.
