This paper explores the grey model based PSO (particleswarmoptimization) algorithm for fatigue strength prognosis of concrete. First, depending on concrete's testing status, fatigue life is studied. Then, one GM(1,1) based PSO algorithm is used in fatigue strength prognosis of concrete. One important advantage of the proposed algorithm is that only fewer data is in need for fatigue strength prognosis. Finally, a case study is given to illustrate effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.

In the prevailing low-carbon economy, China is under enormous pressure to control CO2 emissions, therefore, of great significance is the study to analyze what influential factors mainly contribute to emissions, so as to forecast emissions accurately and harness the growth from the source. In this paper, basing on 22 influencing factors identified by bivariate correlation analysis, factor analysis is then adopted to extract the latent factors which essentially affect emissions and 8 special factors transformed by scoring coefficients are acquired. Extreme learning machine (ELM) whose input weights and bias threshold were optimized by particleswarmoptimization (PSO), hereafter referred as PSO-ELM, is established to predict CO2 emissions and testify the availability of the factor analysis. Case studies reveal that the factor analysis which generates 8 factors as input can highly improve prediction accuracy. And the simulation results demonstrate that the built model PSO-ELM outperforms the compared ELM and back propagation neural network in forecasting CO2 emissions. Eventually, the analysis made in this study can provide valuable policy implications for Hebei's CO2 emissions reduction and strategic low carbon development. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

Based the defects of global optimal model falling into local optimum easily and local model with slow convergence speed during traditional PSO algorithm solving a complex high-dimensional and multi-peak function, a two sub-swarms particleoptimizationalgorithm is proposed. All particles are divided into two equivalent parts. One part particles adopts global evolution model, while the other part uses local evolution model. If the global optimal fitness of the whole population stagnates for some iteration, a golden rule is introduced into local evolution model. This strategy can substitute the partial perfect particles of local evolution for the equivalent worse particles of global evolution model. So, some particles with advantage are joined into the whole population to make the algorithm keep active all the time. Compared with classic PSO and PSO-GL(A dynamic global and local combined particle swarm optimization algorithm, PSO-GL), the results show that the proposed PSO in this paper can get more effective performance over the other two algorithm in the simulation experiment for four benchmark testing function.

Retinal vessel segmentation plays an important role in the diagnosis of eye diseases and is considered as one of the most challenging tasks in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems. The main goal of this study was to propose a method for blood-vessel segmentation that could deal with the problem of detecting vessels of varying diameters in high-and low-resolution fundus images. We proposed to use the particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm to improve the multiscale line detection (MSLD) method. The PSO algorithm was applied to find the best arrangement of scales in the MSLD method and to handle the problem of multiscale response recombination. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated on two lowr-esolution (DRIVE and STARE) and one high-resolution fundus (HRF) image datasets. The data include healthy (H) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) cases. The proposed approach improved the sensitivity rate against the MSLD by 4.7% for the DRIVE dataset and by 1.8% for the STARE dataset. For the high-resolution dataset, the proposed approach achieved 87.09% sensitivity rate, whereas the MSLD method achieves 82.58% sensitivity rate at the same specificity level. When only the smallest vessels were considered, the proposed approach improved the sensitivity rate by 11.02% and by 4.42% for the healthy and the diabetic cases, respectively. Integrating the proposed method in a comprehensive CAD system for DR screening would allow the reduction of false positives due to missed small vessels, misclassified as red lesions.

The estimation of the remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is important for intelligent battery management system (BMS). Data mining technology is becoming increasingly mature, and the RUL estimation of Li-ion batteries based on data-driven prognostics is more accurate with the arrival of the era of big data. However, the support vector machine (SVM), which is applied to predict the RUL of Li-ion batteries, uses the traditional single-radial basis kernel function. This type of classifier has weak generalization ability, and it easily shows the problem of data migration, which results in inaccurate prediction of the RUL of Li-ion batteries. In this study, a novel multi-kernel SVM (MSVM) based on polynomial kernel and radial basis kernel function is proposed. Moreover, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to search the kernel parameters, penalty factor, and weight coefficient of the MSVM model. Finally, this paper utilizes the NASA battery dataset to form the observed data sequence for regression prediction. Results show that the improved algorithm not only has better prediction accuracy and stronger generalization ability but also decreases training time and computational complexity.

The determination of threshold and the construction of thresholding function would directly affect the signal denoising quality in wavelet transform denoising techniques. However, some deficiencies exist in the conventional methods, such as fixed threshold value and the inflexible thresholding functions. To overcome the defects of the traditional wavelet thresholding techniques, a modified particleswarmoptimization (MPSO) algorithm-based parametric wavelet thresholding approach is proposed for signal denoising. Firstly, a kind of parametric wavelet thresholding function construction method is proposed on the basis of conventional thresholding functions. With mathematical derivation, the properties of the constructed function are proved. Three dynamic adjustment strategies are then employed to modify the PSO algorithm. The mean square error (MSE) between the original signal and the reconstructed signal is minimized by the MPSO algorithm. Finally, the performances of the proposed approach and the existing methods are simulated by denoising four benchmark signals with different noise levels. The simulation results show that the proposed MPSO-based parametric wavelet thresholding can obtain lower MSE, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and noise suppression ratio compared to the other algorithms. Besides, the denoising visual results also indicate the superiority of the proposed approach in terms of the signal denoising capability.

The problem of near-optimal test point set selection with imperfect test is solved by using the heuristic particleswarmoptimization (HPSO) algorithm. First, to describe the uncertainty of each test, the testability analysis model and such indexes as fault detection rate, fault isolation rate, and false alarm rate are redefined. A heuristic function is then established to evaluate the detection isolation capability and uncertainty of the test point, which can provide heuristic information to improve the searching efficiency of particleswarmoptimization (PSO). The heuristic function and least test cost principle are used as bases to design a fitness function of PSO algorithm for test point selection. Finally, the HPSO algorithm is proposed to select the optimal test point set for two practical systems. Simulation and experiment results show that the method can determine the global optimal test point accurately and effectively while meeting the requirements of testability indexes with least cost.

Due to the scarcity of fresh water resources, exploiting dams' reservoirs, based on their optimal operation, obviates construction of extra dams and high costs and satisfies downstream consumers' water needs with high reliability. In this research, a new hybrid approach of Artificial Fish swarmalgorithm (AFSA) and particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSOA) is used to optimize Karun-4 reservoir, increase energy production and minimize downstream water shortages. This Hybrid algorithm (HA) brings about diversity of responses in PSOA, prevents entrapment of AFSA in local optimum traps and increases convergence speed and balances between the abilities to scan and make profit in the AFSA. This method was assessed based on reliability, vulnerability and resilience indices. In addition, based on a multi-criteria decision-making model, it was evaluated by comparing it with other evolutionary algorithms. To verify the HA, it was tested on few mathematical functions. Results indicated that the HA features performed higher reliability, lower vulnerability and resiliency, as compared with AFSA and PSOA. In addition, HA is ranked first according to the multi criteria decision making model. Further, among all the tested evolutionary methods, this new algorithm yielded the best answer for dam power plant's objective function.
