The principles of productive active and semi-active civil and infrastructure engineering structural control date back 40 years and significant progress has been recorded in those four decades. Smart structures typically have some control systems that enable them to deal with perturbations. The active vibration management techniques have been applied numerically and experimentally in order to reduce the vibrational levels of lightweight economic composite structures. Smart composite beams and plates have been produced and tested with surface-based piezoelectric sensors and actuators. It has been found that an effective model of smart composite plates can predict the dynamic characteristics. Utilizing Genetic Algorithm (GA) was designed and implemented. Two regression model as root mean square (RMSE) and determination coefficient (R2) were used. The first and second bending modes are operated effectively by a beam, and simultaneous vibration levels are significantly reduced for the conductive plates by the simultaneous operation of the bending and twisting modes. Vibration management is realized by using efficient control. GA could show better performance for managing linear feedback laws under given assumptions.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play a critical role in numerous applications, and accurate localization of sensor nodes is vital for their effective operation. In recent years, optimization algorithms have garnered significant attention as a means of enhancing the WSN node localization. This paper presents an in-depth exploration of the necessity of localization in WSN nodes, and offers a comprehensive review of the optimization algorithms used for this purpose. This review encompasses a diverse range of optimization techniques, including evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, and metaheuristic approaches. Key factors such as localization accuracy, scalability, computational complexity, and robustness were systematically evaluated and compared across various optimization algorithms. Additionally, the study sheds light on the strengths and limitations of each optimization approach and discusses their applicability in different WSN deployment scenarios. The insights provided in this review serve as valuable resources for researchers and practitioners seeking to optimize WSN node localization, thus promoting the efficient and reliable operation of WSNs in diverse real-world applications.

The solar ultraviolet index (UVI) is a key public health indicator to mitigate the ultraviolet-exposure related diseases. This study aimed to develop and compare the performances of different hybridised deep learning approaches with a convolutional neural network and long short-term memory referred to as CLSTM to forecast the daily UVI of Perth station, Western Australia. A complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) is incorporated coupled with four feature selection algorithms (i.e., genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and differential evolution (DEV)) to understand the diverse combinations of the predictor variables acquired from three distinct datasets (i.e., satellite data, ground-based SILO data, and synoptic mode climate indices). The CEEMDAN-CLSTM model coupled with GA appeared to be an accurate forecasting system in capturing the UVI. Compared to the counterpart benchmark models, the results demonstrated the excellent forecasting capability (i.e., low error and high efficiency) of the recommended hybrid CEEMDAN-CLSTM model in apprehending the complex and non-linear relationships between predictor variables and the daily UVI. The study inference can considerably enhance real-time exposure advice for the public and help mitigate the potential for solar UV-exposure-related diseases such as melanoma.

The Long-Term Evolution network (LTE) has been introduced to cater to the rich content applications of multimedia services. With its ability to support lower latency and higher Throughput, the LTE network can provide faster data download speeds. However, once the mobile user moves from one location to another, the performance tends to degrade. Thus, it required the handover from the serving base station to the target base station. Therefore, the telecommunication service providers must provide a further service enhancement to increase the network quality. As a result, the Key Performance Index (KPI) modeling and predictions can be utilized to achieve this objective. In this article, the Extreme Gradient Boosting regressor algorithm has been selected. However, the hyper-parameter associated with this algorithm needs to be optimized first to produce good prediction results. Three optimization algorithms have been chosen: the Annealing Search, Random Search, and the Tree Parzen Estimator. The experiment results show that the Extreme Gradient Boosting with Annealing Search outperformed the Random Search and the Tree Parzen Estimator by producing the lowest MAE and RMSE and higher R-2.

Evidence of an increasingly dynamic market forces companies to look for new ways to respond, given that traditional supply chain management systems are increasingly more vulnerable in their needs. In this sense, we have seen a paradigm shift at the industrial level with the emergence of new concepts from Industry 4.0 to improve productivity and process efficiency. However, their implementation in companies can be an expensive and time-consuming process, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. This work presents a perspective for optimization algorithms in the context of Industry 4.0. With new methods and models, simultaneously integrating traditional supply chain processes, it is possible to find good solutions (globally optimal), in real time and with an investment cost more proportional to the reality of each company. It may, therefore, be an alternative to mitigate the discrepancy between companies of quite different sizes.

Neuron morphological reconstruction is the momentousness in the study of brain connectome which can extract the types of neurons and the connection patterns on the micron scale. Due to the vast data volume of neurons, complex neuron structure and the reconstruction of neuron population, the reconstruction of neuron is challenging. This paper reviews the current research status of neuron reconstruction. The state-of-the-art optimization algorithms in neuron reconstruction methods are summarized. We divide the process of neuron reconstruction into three steps based on the function of the optimization algorithm, which is branch tracing, branch merging and branch adjustment. What's more, we propose a framework of the optimization algorithm and decompose the objective functions into internal energy terms and external energy terms.

This study explores transit-oriented development (TOD) in Dhaka City using optimization algorithms to provide urban planning and policy-making insights. The analysis examined the distribution of the TOD index values across the city and identified areas with varying levels of TOD potential. Two optimization algorithms, ant colony optimization (ACO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), were employed to assess and compare the TOD index values. The results highlight the significance of transit infrastructure in promoting sustainable urban development, particularly in proximity to existing mass rapid transit (MRT) lines. PSO is more suitable for this study among the optimization algorithms because it offers a more precise TOD potential assessment. The findings suggest prioritizing investments in transit infrastructure and implementing TOD-friendly policies to foster sustainable urban growth and improve residents’ quality of life. Future studies can benefit from optimizing the algorithm parameters and incorporating real-world data to improve the accuracy of the TOD assessments.

We focus on a deliberate scenario, where milk producers are used as entry sources for a contamination and where milk consumers are the target of the attack. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how the size of damage differs dependent on the use of an optimization algorithm or a random selection of entry sources. The results indicate that with a random selection of entry sources the same results can be provided with respect to the number of consumers reached, as with the application of the greedy algorithm. However, it should be also noted that with random selection of entry sources there is also a possibility of selecting milk producers, which would not reach any consumer with the hypothetical contaminated milk. The résumé is that by using the greedy algorithm always the "best" suited milk producers will be selected for a maximum spread of contaminated milk in our model. Risk managers can use these results in order to select the sources of entry in a time-and resource efficient manner.

The paper presents a novel paradigm of the original particle swarm concept, based on the idea of having two types of agents in the swarm;the "explorers" and the "settlers", that could dynamically exchange their role in the search process. The explorers' task is to continuously explore the search domain, while the settlers set out to refine the search in a promising region currently found by the swarm. To obtain this particle task differentiation, the numerical coefficients of the cognitive and social component of the stochastic acceleration as well as the inertia weight were related to the distance of each particle from the best position found so far by the swarm, each of them with a proper distribution over the swarm. This particle task differentiation enhances the local search ability of the particles closer to gbest and improves the exploration ability of the particles as the distance from gbest increases. The originality of this approach is based on the particle task differentiation and on the dynamical adjustment of the particle velocities at each time step on the basis of the current distance of each particle from the best position discovered so far by the swarm. To ascertain the effectiveness of the proposed variant of the PSO algorithm, several benchmark test functions, both unimodal and multi-modal, have been considered and, thanks to its task differentiation concept and adaptive behavior feature, the algorithm has demonstrated a surprising effectiveness and accuracy in identifying the optimal solution.
