The Aquila optimization (AO) algorithm has the drawbacks of local optimization and poor optimization accuracy when confronted with complex optimization problems. To remedy these drawbacks, this paper proposes an Enhanced aquila optimization (EAO) algorithm. To avoid elite individual from entering the local optima, the elite opposition-based learning strategy is added. To enhance the ability of balancing global exploration and local exploitation, a dynamic boundary strategy is introduced. To elevate the algorithm's convergence rapidity and precision, an elite retention mechanism is introduced. The effectiveness of EAO is evaluated using CEC2005 benchmark functions and four benchmark images. The experimental results confirm EAO's viability and efficacy. The statistical results of Freidman test and the Wilcoxon rank sum test are confirmed EAO's robustness. The proposed EAO algorithm outperforms previous algorithms and can useful for threshold optimization and pressure vessel design.

Combined processes in chemical industry are of current increasing interest, since they present a feasible solution for capital and operating expenses optimization. Multiplicities, which are specific to combined processes, cause certain control and design difficulties, thus, parametric sensitivity analysis and defining the range of existing multiplicities are the necessary part of the sustainable design and development of the combined process. Parametric and design optimization is the way of decreasing capital and operational costs. The paper discusses optimization of the design and operating parameters of an ethyl-tert-butyl ether synthesis reactive distillation column. The research aims to perform a parametric sensitivity analysis and explore existent multiple steady states of the process. The areas of multiple steady states are established, the optimal column design is developed, the optimal operation modes are determined. The procedure suggested in the study is universally applicable for design and optimization of other reactive distillation processes.

Landslide inventory incompleteness (LII) may significantly affect the model performance in landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM). However, traditional methods, including heuristic, statistical and deterministic models, cannot address LII issue. In this work, we introduce a novel hybrid LEO-MAHP model, blending landslide frequency, empirical adjustments, optimization functions, and multi-participated analytic hierarchy process to address it by taking Badong County as the study area. This hybrid model mitigates the drawbacks of data-heavy statistical approaches and subjective heuristic models by incorporating LII into weight determination. The findings show that the LEO-MAHP model demonstrates superior performance (AUROC = 0.809 and 0.805) over conventional statistical (AUROC = 0.714 and 0.770) and heuristic models (AUROC = 0.738 and 0.741) across different LII levels. We further discuss alternative LII solutions, proposing an updated landslide management strategy that accounts for climate change and human activities. Our findings underscore the necessity of evaluating LII before applying statistical or machine learning methods in LSM.

This article investigates the reduced-order interval observer (R-IO) design technique for continuous-time linear systems with unknown external disturbances and measurement noises. First, we propose a coupled R-IO structure with more design degrees of freedom, and it can be directly applied not only to solve the difficulty of the error system cooperativity construction but to relax the constraint on the sensor measurement noises. Second, the R-IO existence condition is derived as a set of matrix equations (MEs), and a complete solution, explicitly showing the available design parameters, to such an R-IO is further obtained by solving the MEs. Third, using the solution, an integrated optimization indicator of the R-IO performance is built as the valid selection mechanism of these parameters. Finally, the efficiency of the obtained results is illustrated through a numerical example and a practical example.

Watermarking is the process of inserting concealed data into carrier data to authenticate the owner of the material. To achieve optimal performance, we present an intelligent system for watermarking that combines a meta-heuristic method with an embedding technique. The suggested work proposes a blind watermarking technique that embeds the watermark bits in the best location of discrete cosine transform blocks while taking advantage of the discrete wavelet transform's features. To safeguard the embedded watermark, a two-step security mechanism is used: first, the column values are shuffled using a proposed shuffling algorithm, and then the scrambled watermark is encrypted using the Arnold encryption scheme. The primary goal of any watermarking technology is to protect embedded data from various attacks while maintaining the carrier data's quality. By tailoring the embedding site for watermark encapsulation, the recommended technique achieves an acceptable balance of these two characteristics known as imperceptibility and resilience. A meta-heuristic algorithm based on human social behavior is employed to optimize the placement. The social group optimization (SGO) algorithm is a new member of the family of meta-heuristic algorithms. No attempt has been made to include the social group optimization technique into applications for watermark embedding, to our knowledge. The SGO method can assist in striking a balance between various watermarking qualities. To demonstrate the utility of the suggested method, it is compared to a variety of existing watermarking techniques. The approach presented here is a robust solution that may be applied to a wide variety of multimedia applications, including telemedicine, media distribution, and security systems.

Multi-Label Learning (MLL) is a classification task in which each instance may be associated with two or more class labels simultaneously. With the arrival of information explosion era, MLL is confronted with the curse of high-dimensional data. Feature selection is an effective technique that has been used to reduce dimensionality. Previous Multi-Label Feature Selection (MLFS) approaches only lay emphasis on the fitting relations between the feature space and the corresponding label space while neglecting the instance correlations. To remedy the deficiency, we present a novel MLFS method by Exploring Instance Correlations with Local Discriminant model (EICLD). More specifically, we first construct a local set for each instance, and use a local discriminant model for each local set to explore instance correlations. Then, we further integrate the local models of all instances to guarantee the global instance correlations. Finally, l(2,1)-norm is introduced into loss function and the regularization of feature weight matrix respectively to facilitate feature selection process. An optimization algorithm is designed for handling the proposed objective function. The paper is compared with seven representative approaches on twelve data sets. The results validate the superiority of the proposed approach.

Compact antenna ranges test (CATR) are commonly used for antenna testing and radar cross section measurements. The single parabolic cylindrical reflector (SPCR) compact range with a linear array feed can enhance aperture efficiency while maintaining high-quality quiet zone performance, thereby reducing the cost of measuring large equipment. This paper investigates the wideband characteristics of SPCR compact range. Firstly, the system design of the SPCR compact range with a linear array feed is introduced. Next, the wideband optimization function and optimization methods are discussed. Full-wave simulations and system experiments in the sub-6G operating frequency band are then conducted. The designed compact range achieves a high-quality quiet zone with an aperture efficiency of 60-70%, demonstrating the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

With the increasing penetration of renewable energy, virtual power plants (VPP) reduce the impact on the power grid by integrating massive distributed resources for unified management. However, the optimal scheduling of a large number of distributed resources in VPP has become a new problem in recent years. Therefore, aiming at the real-time optimal scheduling problem in the optimal scheduling of virtual power plant, this letter regards the virtual power plant as a multi-agent system and proposes a novel real-time active power dispatch scheme of virtual power plant based on distributed model predictive control (DMPC), so that each agent can not only calculate its own optimization function relatively independently, but also fully refer to the neighbour information. Simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

A capsule wardrobe (CW in short) is a minimal collection of interchangeable clothes from which a lot of diverse and attractive fashion coordination (combinations of clothes) can be obtained. CWs are created for the purpose of strategic brand developments, personal self-expression, and so on. Since a certain level of expertise is required, it is hard for fashion beginners to make CWs. In order to support for the creation of high-quality CWs, a method using an optimization technique has been developed, recently. In the method, fashion images are converted into certain vocabulary through image processing techniques, and a quasi-optimal CW is then derived by submodular optimization with respect to the compatibility and versatility which are calculated based on the LDA(Latent Dirichlet Allocation) topic model. However, the two metrics of compatibility and versatility are not always sufficient to meet the various demands of users. In this study, we extend the optimization function of the existing method by incorporating two factors of visual dissimilarity and number of good coordinates. By this extension, we can expect to realize a more flexible method for high-quality CW creation.

To improve the performance of speech enhancement in a complex noise environment, a joint constrained dictionary learning method for single-channel speech enhancement is proposed, which solves the "cross projection" problem of signals in the joint dictionary. In the method, the new optimization function not only constrains the sparse representation of the noisy signal in the joint dictionary, and controls the projection error of the speech signal and noise signal on the corresponding sub-dictionary, but also minimizes the cross projection error and the correlation between the sub-dictionaries. In addition, the adjustment factors are introduced to balance the weight of constraint terms to obtain the joint dictionary more discriminatively. When the method is applied to the single-channel speech enhancement, speech components of the noisy signal can be more projected onto the clean speech sub-dictionary of the joint dictionary without being affected by the noise sub-dictionary, which makes the quality and intelligibility of the enhanced speech higher. The experimental results verify that our algorithm has better performance than the speech enhancement algorithm based on discriminative dictionary learning under white noise and colored noise environments in time domain waveform, spectrogram, global signal-to-noise ratio, subjective evaluation of speech quality, and logarithmic spectrum distance.
