The Wave Function Collapse (WFC) algorithm is a widely used tile-based algorithm in procedural content generation, including textures, objects, and scenes. However, the current WFC algorithm and related optimized algorithms based on it lack the ability to generate commercial-scale or infinite content due to constraint conflicts and high time complexity. This article proposes the Nested WFC algorithm framework to reduce time complexity. To avoid conflict and backtracking problems, we offer a complete and subcomplete tileset preparation strategy, which requires only a small number of tiles to generate infinite, aperiodic, and deterministic content. We use Mario and Carcassonne as two game examples to describe their application and discuss potential research value. Our contribution addresses WFC's challenge in massive content generation and provides a theoretical basis for implementing concrete games.

Quantum algorithms which were derived from quantum mechanics principles are further revolutionizing this process with their potential for detailed simulation of molecular interactions. Highly notable observations can be made by delving into quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics, which facilitates the identification of suitable candidates for drug synthesis. This capability enables the identification of potential drug candidates with greater efficiency and accuracy. The critical challenges that must be addressed to realize the potential of quantum computing in drug discovery are suppression of noise due to the susceptibility of quantum structures, enhancing the scalability of tests, and design optimization for complex algorithms. These requirements necessitate the design and implementation of improved quantum algorithms with guaranteed positive computational consistency. This will empower precise simulations of molecular interactions, establishing the groundwork for more sophisticated, world-class, and selective drug discovery methodologies. The proposed quantum algorithm model was tested with PubChem, BindingDB, Tox21, and Maximum Unbiased Validation (MUV) datasets. The performance was compared to existing machine learning algorithms in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, qubit fidelity, quantum volume, measurement time, error rate, success rate, scalability, variational quantum eigensolver convergence, entanglement entropy, resource requirements, chemical accuracy, and parallelism, which improved outcomes in most of the parameters. The experimental study shows the transformative potential of integrating quantum algorithms in the pharmaceutical industry, paving the way for the development of more effective and targeted therapeutic solutions.

The maximum utilization of hydrocracking tail oil becomes increasingly important for petrochemical industry. The aim of this work is to develop optimized distillation processes to achieve various high-valued qualified oil products from hydrocracking tail oil. Six different oil products is produced and the steady-state distillation process, which aims to fractionate six qualified narrow distillates is established. The algorithm method incorporating divided-wall column (DWC) configuration was introduced into the steady-state design. Compared with traditional separation sequences, the DWC configuration leads to an energy-saving potential up to 11.17%. Furthermore, effective dynamic control strategies were proposed, demonstrating precise and efficient control performance. In the presence of a 15% feed disturbance, the dynamic control structure is capable of maintaining the product distillation range near the set value. This comprehensive study provides a thorough investigation into the efficient utilization of hydrocracking tail oil, establishing a robust theoretical foundation for its industrial application.

This article proposes a reflective reconfigurable metasurface design that can reduce the number of p-i-n diodes required by up to 60% for enhancing wireless communication signal coverage. The metasurface is also optimized from two aspects of element and array and can achieve enhanced signal coverage in a variety of regions, which proposes a low-cost general-purpose scheme and device. The reconfigurable element with a relative bandwidth of 8.2% is designed in a "subarray" form to reduce the p-i-n diode loading by half, and the array is sparsely designed, resulting in a further reduction of 20%. The genetic algorithm (GA) optimization method suitable for the digital coding metasurface is proposed to optimize the element's phase discretization scheme and the array's sparse method. The proposed metasurface is loaded in familiar T-shaped corridor models, and the coverage enhancement is verified based on the co-simulation of different software, showing the device can be applied in different scenes. For the first time, systematic measurement in a realistic environment using a reconfigurable metasurface with a reduced number of p-i-n diodes is performed, which proves that it can achieve signal coverage improvement in the corridor and in the actual 5G communication environment. The results indicate that this design greatly reduces system complexity and cost, which can be compatible with existing communication optimization methods, providing a practical, scalable scheme and device for enhancing signal coverage in various scenes.

There is a certain energy loss in the process of wireless sensor network information collection. Moreover, the current network protocols and network coverage methods are not sufficient to effectively reduce system energy consumption. In order to improve the operating efficiency and service life of wireless sensor networks, this study analyzes the classic LEACH protocol, summarizes the advantages and disadvantages, and proposes a targeted clustering method based on the K-means algorithm. At the same time, in order to maximize the network coverage and minimize the energy consumption on the basis of ensuring the quality of service, a wireless sensor network coverage optimization method based on an improved artificial fish swarm algorithm was proposed. In addition, a controlled experiment is designed to analyze the effectiveness and practical effects of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper has certain advantages over traditional methods and can provide theoretical references for subsequent related research.

The challenges posed by cross-scale effects, large computational requirements, high nonlinearity, and complex interactions of multiple physical phenomena constitute major obstacles to the effectiveness and accuracy of welding simulations for large structural components. Therefore, achieving accurate welding simulation to predict and effectively control welding deformation of substantial engineering structural parts is essential to ensure welding quality and improve production efficiency. This paper reviews the current research status of welding numerical simulation of large engineering components, including the establishment of the finite element model,optimization of the heat source model, selection of appropriate finite element calculation method, and the control of welding deformation through optimizationalgorithm. In addition, the strategies to improve the precision and efficiency of welding numerical simulation and control welding deformation of engineering components are analyzed and discussed. The future development of welding numerical simulation will focus on balancing simulation accuracy and simulation efficiency and optimizing welding parameters to control welding deformation efficiently.

Processing in-memory (PIM) is promising to accelerate neural networks (NNs) because it minimizes data movement and provides large computational parallelism. Similar to machine learning accelerators, application mapping, which determines the operation scheduling and data layout, plays a critical role in the NN acceleration on PIM. The mapping optimization of the previous NN accelerators focused on optimizing the latency of sequential execution. However, PIM accelerators feature a distinct design space of application mapping from conventional NN accelerators, due to the spatial execution of NN layers across different memory locations. This enables opportunities for overlapping execution of consecutive NN layers to improve the latency, where the succeeding layer can start execution before the preceding layer fully completes the computation. In this article, we propose Fast-OverlaPIM framework that incorporates computational overlapping optimization into the deep neural network mapping exploration process on PIM architectures. Fast-OverlaPIM includes analytical algorithms for fast and accurate overlap analysis. Furthermore, it proposes a novel mapping search strategy and a transformation mechanism to enable efficient design space exploration on the overlap-based mapping for the whole network. Our framework demonstrates a significant improvement in runtime performance from 3.4x to 323.1x compared to the previous state-of-the-art overlap-based framework. Our experiments show that Fast-OverlaPIM can efficiently produce mappings that are 4.6x to 18.1x faster than the state-of-the-art mapping optimization framework under the same architecture constraints.

Robot inspection of large storage tanks has become the primary method for addressing hidden risks in the petrochemical industry. Accurate positioning of Tank Inspection Robots (TIR) is crucial in this process. However, the unique characteristics of the liquid medium and tank walls introduce challenges such as noise, reverberations, and multipath effects, which frequently complicate the acoustic positioning of robots. These issues are further complicated by numerous interface reflections. To address the problems caused by reflections, this paper focuses on time-delay estimation for underwater acoustic positioning. It analyzes the impact of reflections on various acoustic positioning methods and simplifies the time-delay estimation process within the Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) localization algorithm in reverberant environments. To this end, the paper introduces the AMCOCEP algorithm, which integrates Generalized Cross-Correlation, the cepstrum, and the Average Magnitude Difference Function (AMDF). The effectiveness of the proposed positioning model and method is validated by positioning a robot within a storage tank and comparing positioning accuracy before and after algorithm optimization. According to the experimental results, the AMCOCEP algorithm reduces the average error by 1.07 cm and improves the average accuracy by 30.7 %.

High-speed railways are extensively utilized worldwide. However, with prolonged operation, track irregularities increasingly pose significant challenges, adversely affecting the safety and stability of train operations. This paper proposes a sensitive wavelength-enhanced reconstruction algorithm based on the cmplete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) method to address this issue. This method evaluates the influence of reconstructed track irregularities on vehicle dynamic response, considering sensitive wavelengths and amplification factors. The algorithm effectively enhances these sensitive wavelengths while maintaining the integrity of the input signal, utilizing measured track irregularities. After applying the algorithm, the maximum vertical body acceleration rises by 206.09%. The study validates a coupled train model and analyzes the mapping relationship between single-wave irregularities and vertical body acceleration. Compared to random irregularities, the maximum vertical acceleration can amplify up to 122.80% under various operating conditions. The periodic sensitive wavelengths of track irregularities significantly impact the train's dynamic response.

Accurately predicting the overlying earth pressure of underground structures is a key point in the design and construction of underground structures. On the basis of the existing composite function model describing the load-displacement curve (LDC) and experimental data, a intergrating knowledge-data-driven method to predict LDC is proposed in this paper. The buried depth (H), trapdoor width (B), soil weight (gamma) and internal friction angle (phi) are selected as multi-characteristic input variables. The initial modulus of arching a, the minimum soil arching ratio rho min, the minimum soil arching ratio displacement xi min and the ultimate soil arching ratio rho ult are output variables. Two swarm intelligence optimizationalgorithms (i.e., sparrow search algorithm (SSA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO)) are used to optimize the parameters of the established generalized regression neural network (GRNN), and the knowledge-data cooperatively driven prediction of the LDC is realized. The results show that the GRNN model optimized by swarm intelligence algorithm has better prediction performance than the GRNN model. The LDC obtained from the output parameters of three GRNN models are compared with the results of the trapdoor experiments. The comparison results show that the LDC obtained by the GRNN model optimized by swarm intelligence algorithm are more consistent with the experimental results than that those obtained by GRNN model, and the prediction performance of the SSA-GRNN is slightly better than that of the PSO-GRNN.
