A significant quantity of slime water generated during coal mining poses a serious threat to the health of underground workers and the environment. The decanter centrifuge is widely employed in slime water treatment due to its high efficiency in solid-liquid separation. This paper proposes a structural optimization framework for the mine decanter centrifuge based on the Response Surface Method (RSM) and multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). Firstly, a three-dimensional numerical model of the decanter centrifuge was established, and the reliability of the model was verified by experimental and theoretical analysis. Subsequently, the Box-Behnken design method and RSM were employed to construct a response surface model that links input parameters (drum half cone angle, screw pitch, and spiral blade Inclination angle) with target variables (solid phase recovery rate and overflow liquid phase solids content). The interactions between each input parameter and target variable were assessed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), which confirmed the model's effectiveness and generalization capability. Finally, MOGA was employed to optimize the centrifuge's structural parameters, resulting in an 8.16 % increase in solid recovery rate and a 35.84 % reduction in overflow liquid solid content. It offers a valuable reference for the structural optimization of decanter centrifuges in coal slurry separation.

With the advancement of economic globalization, the distributed heterogeneous factory environment has become the mainstream in manufacturing enterprises. Scheduling flexible job shops in such a production environment holds practical value. However, due to the high complexity of certain jobs, the transfer of jobs between different factories are often required in practical production to balance machine load rates. Accordingly, this study addresses the distributed heterogeneous assembly flexible job shop scheduling problem with transfers, aiming to minimize both the makespan and total energy consumption. First, a multi-objective optimization model is formulated to define the problem, wherein knowledge of factory assignment and processing sequence for operations is summarized. Subsequently, given the complexity of this problem, a Q-learning-based improved multi-objective genetic algorithm (QL-IMOGA) is proposed as an effective approach. Within the proposed algorithm, a hybrid population initialization method is designed, considering factory load balancing and the earliest product completion time, to generate a high-quality initial population. Furthermore, two types of crossover operators, four types of mutation operators, and six objective-oriented neighborhood search operators are devised to enhance the algorithm's exploration and exploitation capabilities. Q-learning is employed for adaptive adjustment of key parameters to improve both convergence speed and solution quality. The effectiveness of the proposed population initialization method and neighborhood search operators is validated through 15 test cases. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperformed four advanced meta-heuristic algorithms. Furthermore, it is observed that the solution employing the job transfer strategy led to an average reduction of 7.5% in makespan, a 3.9% decrease in total energy consumption, and an 8.4 % improvement in factory load rates compared to the soluti

Considering the strict constraints on battery module space and cost, two types of ultra-thin battery heat transfer structures were proposed and numerically optimized in this paper. The grooved patterns of microstructures are developed based on the manifold microchannel (MMC) and manifold micro pin fin (MMPF) concepts. The effects of geometrical parameter variations on the system's thermodynamic irreversibility are investigated. The structural optimization uses the Entropy Generation Minimization method and multi-objective genetic algorithm. The effects of eight independent geometrical parameters on the performance of the micro-structured heat sinks are analyzed by statistical analysis, and the finding is that the inlet manifold width and the height of the microchannel/micro-pin-fin strongly affect the entropy generation of the system. The entropy generation becomes lower as the wider the inlet manifold and the lower the microchannel/micro-pin-fin. The multi-objective genetic algorithm determines that the entropy generation characteristics are a function of these two crucial parameters. The irreversible losses of the optimized MMC and MMPF heat sinks are reduced by 88.53 % and 83.47 %, respectively, and the thermodynamic efficiencies, eta W- S, are increased from 97.51 % and 97.83 % to 99.59 % and 99.75 %, respectively, compared to the initial geometries.

A novel methodology for designing and optimizing a PWR's equilibrium cycle reloading pattern using deep learning and a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) has been developed. The deep-learning model efficiently and accurately predicted reactor physics parameters, particularly fuel assembly burnups at the end of the cycle (EOC), and formed a fitness function. The fitness function takes the absolute difference between the conformable fuel assemblies' burnups at the beginning of the cycle (BOC) and the EOC, which narrows down the potential equilibrium reloading patterns. The deep-learning model was coupled with MOGA, which simultaneously optimized multiple objectives for the design and optimization of an equilibrium cycle. Applied to the HPR1000 reactor, the method achieved the first equilibrium cycle length of 473.1 Effective Full Power Days (EFPDs) and an average of 471.1 EFPDs over ten cycles, meeting all the parameters of reactor safety design criteria.

Driver Assistance Systems (DAS) have been progressively incorporated into commercial vehicles in recent years. All these systems are paving the way for the forthcoming autonomous vehicle which will become a reality in the near future. Existing systems are based on numerous electronic systems with advanced skills, high performances, and high degrees of adaptability and intelligence. As is to be expected, these cutting-edge features require, in most cases, the use of powerful computing platforms. However, the deployment of such platforms is not an easy task, since they have to be integrated in the vehicle where there exist important restrictions regarding size, power consumption and cost. In this sense, every smart proposal aimed at reducing the complexity of these systems without degrading performance, is always a valuable contribution in the field. In this work, we propose a methodology to reduce the dimensionality of a driver distraction recognition system. The methodology is based on a multi-objective genetic algorithm that looks for the minimum set of useful features collected during the driving task and also for the simplest recognition system. The recognition algorithm is an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) whose simplicity and fast learning procedure make it especially suitable to be used by a geneticalgorithm which needs to evaluate thousands of candidate solutions. The proposed methodology has been tested with a real-world database collected from different drivers performing an itinerary with an instrumented car. The results obtained validate the proposal as a method to reduce the complexity of a driver distraction recognition system.

Purpose In early 2020, the world is amid a significant pandemic due to the novel coronavirus disease outbreak, commonly called the COVID-19. Coronavirus is a lung infection disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 virus (SARS-CoV-2). Because of its high transmission rate, it is crucial to detect cases as soon as possible to effectively control the spread of this pandemic and treat patients in the early stages. RT-PCR-based kits are the current standard kits used for COVID-19 diagnosis, but these tests take much time despite their high precision. A faster automated diagnostic tool is required for the effective screening of COVID-19. Methods In this study, a new semi-supervised feature learning technique is proposed to screen COVID-19 patients using chest CT scans. The model proposed in this study uses a three-step architecture, consisting of a convolutional autoencoder based unsupervised feature extractor, a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) based feature selector, and a Bagging Ensemble of support vector machines based binary classifier. The proposed architecture has been designed to provide precise and robust diagnostics for binary classification (COVID ***). A dataset of 1252 COVID-19 CT scan images, collected from 60 patients, has been used to train and evaluate the model. Results The best performing classifier within 127 ms per image achieved an accuracy of 98.79%, the precision of 98.47%, area under curve of 0.998, and an F1 score of 98.85% on 497 test images. The proposed model outperforms the current state of the art COVID-19 diagnostic techniques in terms of speed and accuracy. Conclusion The experimental results prove the superiority of the proposed methodology in comparison to existing *** study also comprehensively compares various feature selection techniques and highlights the importance of feature selection in medical image data problems.

N-version programming (N-VP) is a programming approach for constructing fault tolerant software systems. Generally, an optimization model utilized in NVP selects the optimal set of versions for each module to maximize the system reliability and to constrain the total cost to remain within a given budget. In such a model, while the number of versions included in the obtained solution is generally reduced, the budget restriction may be so rigid that it may fail to find the optimal solution. In order to ameliorate this problem, this paper proposes a novel bi-objective optimization model that maximizes the system reliability and minimizes the system total cost for designing N-version software systems. When solving multi-objective optimization problem, it is crucial to find Pareto solutions. It is, however, not easy to obtain them. In this paper, we propose a novel bi-objective optimization model that obtains many Pareto solutions efficiently. We formulate the optimal design problem of NVP as a bi-objective 0-1 nonlinear integer programming problem. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA), which is a powerful, though time-consuming, method to solve multi-objective optimization problems. When implementing geneticalgorithm (GA), the use of an appropriate genetic representation scheme is one of the most important issues to obtain good performance. We employ random-key representation in our MOGA to find many Pareto solutions spaced as evenly as possible along the Pareto frontier. To pursue improve further performance, we introduce elitism, the Pareto-insertion and the Pareto-deletion operations based on distance between Pareto solutions in the selection process. The proposed MOGA obtains many Pareto solutions along the Pareto frontier evenly. The user of the MOGA can select the best compromise solution among the candidates by controlling the balance between the system reliability and the total cost. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All

Layout optimization has become one of the critical approaches to increase power output and decrease total cost of a wind farm. Previous researches have applied intelligent algorithms to optimizing the wind farm layout. However, those wind conditions used in most of previous research are simplified and not accurate enough to match the real world wind conditions. In this paper, the authors propose an innovative optimization method based on multi-objective genetic algorithm, and test it with real wind condition and commercial wind turbine parameters. Four case studies are conducted to investigate the number of wind turbines needed in the given wind farm. Different cost models are also considered in the case studies. The results clearly demonstrate that the new method is able to optimize the layout of a given wind farm with real commercial data and wind conditions in both regular and irregular shapes, and achieve a better result by selecting different type and hub height wind turbines.

Recently, fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controllers are demonstrated as a general form of the classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) using fractional calculus. In FOPID controller, the orders of the derivative and integral portions are not integers which offer more flexibility in succeeding control objectives. This paper proposes a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) to optimize the FOPID controller gains to enhance the ride comfort of heavy vehicles. The usage of magnetorheological (MR) damper in seat suspension system provides considerable benefits in this area. The proposed semi-active control algorithm consists of a system controller that determines the desired damping force using a FOPID controller tuned using a MOGA, and a continuous state damper controller that calculates the input voltage to the damper coil. A mathematical model of a six degrees-of-freedom seat suspension system incorporating human body model using an MR damper is derived and simulated using Matlab/Simulink software. The proposed semi-active MR seat suspension is compared to the classical PID, optimum PID tuned using geneticalgorithm (GA) and passive seat suspension systems for predetermined chassis displacement. System performance criteria are examined in both time and frequency domains, in order to verify the success of the proposed FOPID algorithm. The simulation results prove that the proposed FOPID controller of MR seat suspension offers a superior performance of the ride comfort over the integer controllers.
