Multi-Objective optimization can be used to produce regularized Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) images where the weight of the regularization term is not known a priori. This paper proposes a novel Multi-Objective optimization algorithm based on Simulated Annealing tailored for EIT image reconstruction. Images are reconstructed from experimental data and compared with images from other Multi and Single Objective optimization methods. A significant performance enhancement from traditional techniques can be inferred from the results.

Feasibility of the novel utilization of a pressure switch mechanism for re-calibrating drifted implanted pressure sensors in-situ is demonstrated. We have designed and characterized the pressure response of a system, which can quantify the offset of a sensor after it has been implanted. The benchtop device is constructed of a 25 pm thick titanium diaphragm with 10 mm working diameter. An optimization algorithm detected a characteristic change in the pressure response produced by the activation of a pressure switch. The repeatability of detection across three sensors is within ±0.23 mmHg over 8 pressurization cycles.

Orthogonal binary sequences play an important role in Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. However, mainly due to mathematical difficulties, the synthesis problem of multiple binary sequences with low auto and cross correlation sidelobes is still an open problem. In this paper, mismatched filter, which basically aims at reducing the sidelobe levels at the pulse compression output, is exploited and multiple binary sequences and mismatched filters are optimized by joint synthesis algorithms (JSA), based on an alternating direction method. JSA for minimizing the integrated sidelobe level (ISL) and peak sidelobe level (PSL) metrics are proposed, and the corresponding computation complexities are analyzed. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms.
Much of the literature on optimal design of bandit algorithms is based on minimization of expected regret. It is well known that algorithms that are optimal over certain exponential families can achieve expected regre...

In the construction industry, a specialist subcontractor manages a taskforce of single-skilled laborers to work on multiple construction sites, aiming to minimize the total cost and stay profitable and competitive. This paper presents a simulation-based approach to assist the subcontractor in scheduling the application of limited laborer resources to handle jobs over multiple concurring sites. Factoring in technological constraints, repetitive building cycles, alternative method options, and the limited quantity of skilled laborers, we resort to computer power (including simulation and optimization algorithms resulting from recent research) in search of the best combination of construction methods at individual sites along with the optimum size of labor force, aimed to find the least cost for completing the jobs at all sites. A case study of bar-bender scheduling over three sites by use of an in-house computer tool results in the optimum method combinations, the optimum crew size, and the optimum resource schedule.
