Current diffusion-based inpainting models struggle to preserve unmasked regions or generate highly coherent content. Additionally, it is hard for them to generate meaningful content for 3D inpainting. To tackle these challenges, we design a plug-and-play branch that runs through the entire generation process to enhance existing models. Specifically, we utilize dual encoders - a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) encoder and the pre-trained Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) encoder, to encode masked images. The latent code and the feature map from the dual encoders are fed to diffusion models simultaneously. In addition, we apply Zero-padded initialization to solve the problem of mode collapse caused by this branch. Experiments on BrushBench and EditBench demonstrate that models with our plug-and-play branch can improve the coherence of inpainting, and our model achieves new state-of-the-art results.

The Nurse Scheduling Problem (NSP) assigns nurses to shifts while meeting constraints, making it an NP-hard problem. This study proposes GAV_NS 2 , a hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) model, to optimize scheduling while considering nurse preferences. Implemented in Java, GAV_NS 2 was evaluated using simulations and a dataset of 151 nurses from a Federal Medical Centre in Nigeria. Results showed allocation, duplication, clash, and multiple shift rates of 98.6%, 0.11%, 0.39%, and 0.2%, respectively. Simulations achieved 99.02%, 0%, 1.15%, and 0%, with computation times of 50.13ms−85.91ms. GAV_NS 2 outperforms manual and traditional GA-based scheduling. While it optimally distributes obligatory shifts, non-obligatory preferences like 3-day weekends were not fully met. The adoption of this system will enhance hospital efficiency, and nurse satisfaction, and provide historical data for future decision-making.

Key-value stores are a key player of managing large-scale unstructured data in storage systems. Performance improvement of the LSM-tree structure has been extensively investigated, but current work primarily focuses on cache structural optimization rather than hot-and-cold data properties. Moreover, existing and external memory components of LSM-tree rarely have uniform hot and cold attributions. In this study, we make use of the gradient and hierarchy mechanism to optimize the components catering for cache data. We design an adaptive data migration method according to hot and cold data in the cache. We reform and expand a gradient cold-hot data hierarchy (GDH) mechanism that replaces the in-memory data structure to address the problem of missing hot and cold data attributes. The hot and cold data are placed in separate cache partitions to store hot data as far the high hierarchy as possible, reducing $\mathrm{I}/\mathrm{O}$ accesses. When it comes to frequently accessed hot data, we advocate for a hotness-aware technique for data stored on a disk, where read-write performance and the cache hit rate are revamped. The experiment results reveal that our proposed GDH achieves a high cache-hit ratio and low access latency under a wide range of workloads.

The imperative to transition towards renewable energy sources has catalyzed global interest in harnessing offshore wind energy, owing to its immense potential to boost sustainable electricity generation. However, integrating offshore wind farms into existing power grids poses formidable challenges, encompassing grid stability, power quality, and fault management. Nonetheless, the integration of offshore wind farms (OWF) with the power grid presents a significant opportunity for advancing renewable energy generation on a large scale. This study embarks on an exploration of the intricate dynamics and performance metrics inherent in the integration of OWF with onshore grids (OnG), particularly focusing on the interaction between a 480 MW Offshore high-voltage direct current (HVDC) system and the modified IEEE 39-bus network. The study incorporates a comprehensive wind generation profile from a 10-minute to 24-hourly timescale synthetic wind speed dataset for actual or proposed New Zealand wind farm sites, as well as load profiles, to provide a robust basis for analysis. Utilizing detailed modeling and analysis, this research delves into the nuanced aspects of offshore wind farm integration, shedding light on key factors such as grid stability, power flow dynamics, and system reliability.
