Reliable modeling of river sediments transport is important as it is a defining factor of the economic viability of dams, the durability of hydroelectric-equipment, river susceptibility to pollution, suitability for navigation, and potential for aesthetics and fish habitat. The capability of a new machine learning model, fuzzy c-means based neuro-fuzzy system calibrated using the hybrid particle swarm optimization-gravitational search algorithm(ANFIS-FCM-PSOGSA) in improving the estimation accuracy of river suspended sediment loads(SSLs) is investigated in the current study. The outcomes of the proposed method were compared with those obtained using the fuzzy c-means based neuro-fuzzy system calibrated using particle swarm optimization(ANFIS-FCM-PSO), ANFIS-FCM, and sediment rating curve(SRC) models. Various input combinations involving lagged river flow(Q) and suspended sediment(S) values were used for model development. The effect of Q and S on the model's accuracy also was assessed by including the difference between lagged Q and S values as inputs. The model performance was assessed using the root mean square error(RMSE), mean absolute error(MAE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency(NSE), and coefficient of determination(R2) and several graphical comparison methods. The results showed that the proposed model enhanced the prediction performance of the ANFIS-FCM-PSO(or ANFIS-FCM) models by 8.14%(1.72%), 14.7%(5.71%), 12.5%(2.27%), and 25.6%(1.86%),in terms of the RMSE, MAE, NSE and R2, respectively. The current study established the potential of the proposed ANFIS-FCM-PSOGSA model for simulation of the cumulative sediment load. The modeling results revealed the potential effects of the river flow lags on the sediment transport quantification.

As the size of datasets and neural network models increases, automatic parallelization methods for models have become a research hotspot in recent years. The existing auto-parallel methods based on machine learning or graph algorithms still have issues with search efficiency and applicability. This paper proposes an automatic parallel method based on a dual-population genetic algorithm, TGA, which transforms model partitioning and placement into an integer linear programming problem and constructs a cost model to evaluate the solution. The solution space is built using the neural network’s dataflow graph and device cluster’s topology, and the dual-population genetic algorithm is used to search for the optimal model parallel strategy. Experiments with various models show that the proposed method can improve single-step execution time by up to 42% compared to the Baechi method and up to 37.7% compared to the Hierarchical method.

2-D projective moment invariants were firstly proposed by Suk and Flusser in [12]. We point out here that there is a useless projective moment invariant which is equivalent to zero in their paper. 3-D projective moment invariants are generated theoretically by investigating the property of signed volume of a tetrahedron. The main part is the selection of permutation invariant cores for multiple integrals to generate independent and nonzero 3-D projective moment invariants. We give the conclusion that projective moment invariants don't exist strictly speaking because of their convergence problem.

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) safety has always been a critical reason for hindering the development of magneticenabled wireless power transfer technology. People focus on the actual received energy at charging devices while paying attention to their health. Thus, we study this significant problem in this paper, and propose a universal safety guaranteed power-delivered-to-load (PDL) maximization scheme (called SafeGuard). Technically, we first utilize the off-the-shelf electromagnetic simulator to perform the EMR distribution analysis to ensure the universality of the method. Then, we innovatively introduce the concept of multiple importance sampling for achieving efficient EMR safety constraint extraction. Finally, we treat the proposed optimization problem as an optimal boundary point search problem from the perspective of space geometry, and devise a brand-new grid-based multi-constraint parallel processing algorithm to efficiently solve it. We implement a system prototype for SafeGuard, and conduct extensive experiments to evaluate it. The results indicate that our SafeGuard can obviously improve the achieved PDL by up to 1.75× compared with the state-of-the-art baseline while guaranteeing EMR safety. Furthermore, SafeGuard can accelerate the solution process by 29.12× compared with the traditional numerical method to satisfy the fast optimization requirement of wireless charging systems.

We report the study of the thermoelectric properties of layered ternary telluride Nb3SiTe6. The temperature dependence of the thermoelectric power (TEP) evolves from nonlinear to linear when the thickness of the devices is reduced, consistent with the suppression of electron-phonon interaction caused by quantum confinement. The magnitude of TEP strongly depends on the hole density. It increases with decreasing hole density when the hole density is low, as observed in ionic-liquid-gated thin flakes. However, the device with the largest hole density possesses the highest TEP. Theoretical analysis suggests that the high TEP in the device with the largest hole density can be ascribed to the phonon-mediated intervalley scatterings. The highest TEP reaches ∼230μV/K at 370 K while the electrical resistivity of the device is maintained below 1.5mΩcm. Therefore, a large power factor PF ∼36μWcm−1K−2 comparable to the record values reported in p-type materials is obtained.

Sink Scheduling, in the form of scheduling multiple sinks among sink sites to leverage traffic burden, is an effective mechanism for the energy-efficiency of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Due to the inherent difficulty (NP-hard in general), existing works on this topic mainly focus on heuristic/greedy algorithms and theoretic results remain unknown. In this paper, we fill in the research blank with two algorithms. The first one is based on the Column Generation (CG). It decomposes the original problem into two sub problems and solve them iteratively to approach the optimal solution. However, due to its high computational complexity, this algorithm is only suitable for small scale networks. The other one is a polynomial-time algorithm based on relaxation techniques to obtain an upperbound, which can serve as a performance benchmark for other algorithms on this problem. Through comprehensive simulations, we evaluate the efficiency of proposed algorithms.
