Neural networks for optimization and signal processing

From the Publisher: Artificial neural networks can be employed to solve a wide spectrum of problems in optimization, parallel computing, matrix algebra and signal processing. Taking a computational approach, this book explains how ANNs pro...

Optimization of Process Parameters of Air Classifier Based on Particle Trajectory

Under the rapid development of the world’s powder technology, powder materials are used in a wide range of fields such as metallurgy, chemical industry and petroleum. Turbo air classifier is one of the most important mechanical equipment in...

Spreading Social Influence with both Positive and Negative Opinions in Online Networks

Social networks are important media for spreading information, ideas, and influence among individuals. Most existing research focuses on understanding the characteristics of social networks, investigating how information is spread through t...

An Energy Efficient Distance-Aware Routing Algorithm with Multiple Mobile Sinks for Wireless Sensor Networks

Traffic patterns in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) usually follow a many-to-one model. Sensor nodes close to static sinks will deplete their limited energy more rapidly than other sensors, since they will have more data to forward during m...

Cross-Linking Simulation at Metal Oxide-Thermoset Interfaces Using Quantum Chemical and Molecular Dynamics Methods.

Prediction of Hypersonic Boundary Layer Transition on Ablative Rough Surfaces of Deep Space Reentry Capsules

In order to improve aerodynamic deceleration efficiency, deep space reentry capsules generally adopt large blunt windward shape and ablative heat protection system. However, factors such as the flat forebody shape and the sharp increase in ...

Self-organization and collective migration of active condensates

Abstract Cohesive active assemblies are often regulated by spatially heterogeneous nonequilibrium driving, such as gradients in motility. Here, we show that attractive active Brownian particles (ABPs) undergo liquid-gas phase separation, an...

Seeding Cores: A Pathway for Nuclear Star Clusters from Bound Star Clusters in the First Billion Years

We model the formation of star clusters in a dwarf galaxy progenitor during the first 700 Myr of cosmic history using a cosmological radiation-hydrodynamic simulation with a sub-grid star formation efficiency (SFE) model calibrated from AU-...

Discrimination of Non-Local Correlations

In view of the importance of quantum non-locality in cryptography, quantum computation, and communication complexity, it is crucial to decide whether a given correlation exhibits non-locality or not. As proved by Pitowski, this problem is N...

Magnetic Reconnection–driven Energization of Protons up to ∼400 keV at the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet

We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ∼400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) at a distance of ∼16.25 solar ...

Analytically Computing the Moments of a Conic Combination of Independent Noncentral Chi-Square Random Variables and Its Application for the Extended Cox–Ingersoll–Ross Process with Time-Varying Dimension

This paper focuses mainly on the problem of computing the γth, γ>0, moment of a random variable Yn:=∑i=1nαiXi in which the αi’s are positive real numbers and the Xi’s are independent and distributed according to noncentral chi-square distri...

Enhancing Psychiatry Training Using an Agentic AI Simulated Consultation Tool: Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract BackgroundCanadian psychiatry residents must demonstrate consultation competency, assessed using the standardized assessment of a clinical encounter report (STACER). However, opportunities to practice these skills and r...

A Model of Social Distancing for Interacting Age-Distributed Multi-Populations: An Analysis of Students’ In-Person Return to Schools

Because of the current scenario of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic in Brazil, whose vaccination campaign is in the initial stage, government authorities have pointed out towards the complete reopening of the economy. And recently for the...

OFDM AF Variable Gain Relay System for the Next Generation Mobile Cellular

In this paper we present analytical performance evaluation of a dual-hop OFDM amplify-andforward (AF) variable gain (VG) relay system implementing ordered subcarrier mapping (SCM) at the relay station (R), considered to be a very interestin...
