This paper presents a modified barebones particle swarm optimization (OBPSO) to solve constrained nonlinear optimization problems. The proposed approach OBPSO combines barebones particle swarm optimization (BPSO) and opposition-based learning (OBL) to improve the quality of solutions. A novel boundary search strategy is used to approach the boundary between the feasible and infeasible search region. Moreover, an adaptive penalty method is employed to handle constraints. To verify the performance of OBPSO, a set of well-known constrained benchmark functions is used in the experiments. Simulation results show that our approach achieves a promising performance.

Chemical cross-linking coupled with mass spectrometry plays an important role in unravelling protein interactions, especially weak and transient ones. Moreover, crosS-linking complements several structural determination approaches such as cryo:EM. Although several computational approaches are available for the annotation of spectra obtained from cross-linked peptides, there remains room for improvement. Here, we present Xilmass, a novel algorithm to identify cross-linked peptides that introduces two new concepts: (i) the cross-linked peptides are represented in the search database such that the cross-linking sites are explicitly encoded, and (ii) the scoring function derived from the Andromeda algorithm was adapted to score against a theoretical tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) spectrum that contains the peaks from all possible fragment ions of a cross-linked peptide pair. The performance of Xilmass was evaluated against the recently published Kojak and the popular pLink algorithms on a calmodulin-plectin complex data set, as well as three additional, published: data sets. The results show that Xilmass typically had cross-linked sites and also the highest number of predicted cross-linked sites.

Robotic vehicles working in unknown environments require the ability to determine their location while learning about obstacles located around them. In this paper a method of solving the SLAM problem that makes use of compressed occupancy grids is presented. The presented approach is an extension of the FastSLAM algorithm which stores a compressed form of the occupancy grid to reduce the amount of memory required to store the set of occupancy grids maintained by the particle filter. The performance of the algorithm is presented using experimental results obtained using a small inexpensive ground vehicle equipped with LiDAR, compass, and downward facing camera that provides the vehicle with visual odometry measurements. The presented results demonstrate that although with our approach the occupancy grid maintained by each particle uses only 40% of the data needed to store the uncompressed occupancy grid, we can still achieve almost identical results to the approach where each particle filter stores the full occupancy grid.

The differential quadrature element method (DQEM) has been proposed. The element weighting coefficient matrices are generated by the differential quadrature (DQ) or generic differential quadrature (GDQ). By using the DQ or GDQ technique and the mapping procedure the governing differential or partial differential equations, the transition conditions of two adjacent elements and the boundary conditions can be discretized. The overall algebraic equation system can be obtained by assembling all of the discretized equations. This method can convert a generic engineering or scientific problem having an arbitrary domain configuration into a computer algorithm. The DQEM analysis can be carried out by the adaptive refinement procedure. The development of adaptive DQEM refinement analysis procedure for fluid mechanics problems is carried out. Numerical results are presented. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

We propose a method and an algorithm for recovery of the nonmonotonic altitude profile of the plasma frequency using the model data on oblique sounding of a spherically layered isotropic ionosphere in the piecewise-quasiparabolic approximation of the altitude profile of the electron number density. The algorithm has been tested with a fairly complex ionosphere model allowing for the E, F-1, and F-2 layers and the E-F-1 interlayer valley. This method was used to recover the effective altitude profile of the plasma frequency at the midpoints of the Khabarovsk-Tory, Magadan-Tory, Norilsk-Tory, and Usolie-Tory paths from the experimental ionograms having a gap in the single-hop mode traces.

A new robust adaptive processor based on reiterative application of the median cascaded canceler (MCC) is presented and called the reiterative median cascaded canceler (RMCC). It is shown that the RMCC processor is a robust replacement for the sample matrix inversion (SMI) adaptive processor and for its equivalent implementations. The MCC, though a robust adaptive processor, has a convergence rate that is dependent on the rank of the input interference-plus-noise covariance matrix for a given number of adaptive degrees of freedom (DOF), N. In contrast, the RMCC, using identical training data as the MCC, exhibits the highly desirable combination of: 1) convergence-robustness to outliers/targets in adaptive weight training data, like the MCC, and 2) fast convergence performance that is independent of the input interference-plus-noise covariance matrix, unlike the MCC. For a number of representative examples, the RMCC is shown to converge using similar to 2.8N samples for any interference rank value as compared with similar to 2N samples for the SMI algorithm. However, the SMI algorithm requires considerably more samples to converge in the presence of outliers/targets, whereas the RMCC does not. Both simulated data as well as measured airborne radar data from the multichannel airborne radar measurements (MCARM) space-time adaptive processing (STAP) database are used to illustrate performance improvements over SMI methods.

According to the literature statistics, only less than 10% of reported iterative learning control (ILC) methods have been devoted to the indirect approach. Motivated by the full potential of research opportunities in this field, a number of studies on Indirect MC were proposed recently, where ILC-based P-type control and learning-type model predictive control (L-MPC) are two successful stories. All indirect ILC algorithms consist of two loops: an ILC in the outer loop and a local controller in the inner loop. The local controllers are, respectively, a P-type controller in the ILC-based P-type control and a model predictive control (***) in the ***. Logically, this leads to the question of what type of ILC should be chosen respectively for the two above-mentioned indirect ILC methods. In this study, P-type ILC and anticipatory P-type (A-P-type) ILC are studied and compared, because they are typical and widely implemented. Based on mathematical analysis and simulation test, it has been proved that the A-P-type ILC should be used in the ILC-based P-type control and while the P-type ILC should be used in the L-MPC. Furthermore, an improved L-MPC with batch-varying learning gain was proposed to handle the trade-off between convergence rate and robustness performance. The simulation results on injection molding process and a nonlinear batch process validated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The seismic response of a single-story steel building frame with a smart base isolation system is evaluated. The isolation system consists of sliding bearings combined with an adaptive fluid damper. The damping capacity of the fluid damper can be modulated in real time based on feedback from the earthquake ground motion and superstructure response. The adaptive capabilities of the fluid damper enable the isolation system displacement to be controlled while simultaneously limiting the interstory drift response of the superstructure. This paper concentrates on the development of analytical models of the smart isolation system and control algorithms for operation of the system. In general, the results from numerical simulations demonstrate that, for disparate earthquake ground motions, the smart isolation system is capable of simultaneously limiting both the response of the isolation system and the superstructure.

This study proposes an improved predictive current control (PCC) strategy for unbalanced stand-alone doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind power systems. The proposed control scheme predicts an appropriate average rotor voltage vector in next switching period to eliminate the rotor current errors in the following control period. The identified voltage vector sequence is then applied to the rotor-side converter (RSC) by using space-vector modulation with constant switching frequency. To increase the control accuracy, a proposed compensation method for the control time delay inherent in the digital implementation, mainly due to the sampling and calculation processes, is adopted. The whole control algorithm is performed in the RSC to achieve the desired control output, that is, compensation for the stator voltage imbalance. In addition, the effect of parameter variation on the performance of the control scheme is also considered. The proposed PCC method was tested by both simulations and experiments with 2.2 kW DFIG feeding an unbalanced load to demonstrate the excellent steady-state performance as well as the extremely fast dynamic response of the proposed current controller.

This paper presents a novel pulse-width modulation technique based sliding mode approach for direct torque control of an induction machine drive. Methodology begins with a sliding mode control of machine's torque and stator flux to generate the reference voltage vector and to reduce parameters sensitivity. Then, the switching control of the three-phase inverter is developed using sliding mode concept to make the system tracking reference voltage inputs. The main features of the proposed methodologies are the high tracking accuracy and the much easier implementation compared to the space vector modulation. Simulations are carried out to confirm the effectiveness of proposed control algorithms.
