Abstract: In response to a series of issues in the distribution network, such as inadequate and inflexible utilization of flexible loads, delayed response to demand participation, and the uncertainty of new energy source output, a differentiated objective-based method for optimizing distribution network operations is proposed. Firstly, flexible loads are categorized, and corresponding mathematical models are established. Secondly, by employing chance-constrained programming to account for the uncertainty in new energy source output, a multi-objective optimization model is developed to reduce distribution network economic costs, decrease network losses, and enhance power supply reliability. Subsequently, an improved NSGA-III algorithm is introduced to address the …multi-objective model. Finally, an 11-node distribution network is used as a case study, and three different algorithms are comprehensively compared. This confirms the rationality of the optimized scheduling scheme proposed in this paper. Show more

Abstract: Super-enhancers are a category of active super-enhancers densely occupied by transcription factors and chromatin regulators, controlling the expression of disease-related genes and cellular identity. Recent studies have demonstrated the formation of complex structures by various factors and super-enhancers, particularly in various cancers. However, our current knowledge of super-enhancers, such as their genomic locations, interaction with factors, functions, and distinction from other super-enhancers regions, remains limited. This research aims to employ deep learning techniques to detect and differentiate between super-enhancers and enhancers based on genomic and epigenomic features and compare the accuracy of the results with other machine learning methods In …this study, in addition to evaluating algorithms, we trained a set of genomic and epigenomic features using a deep learning algorithm and the Python-based cross-platform software to detect super-enhancers in DNA sequences. We successfully predicted the presence of super-enhancers in the sequences with higher accuracy and precision. Show more

Abstract: The paper gives a systems analysis in the field of heat transfer and temperature distribution (TD) along the length of oil production wells (OPW). The analysis shows that the existing mathematical models are suitable only for determining TD along the length of casing string (CS) and are not suitable for determining TD along the length of the tubing run, since the existence of the interfacial (between the CS and the tubing) annulus of the fluid and gas layers with heat capacity and thermal conductivity that differ significantly from the heat capacity and thermal conductivity of rocks surrounding the CS. Given …the above, mathematical models taking into account the impact of the fluid and gas layers in the annulus on the heat transfer from the upward fluid flow to the tubing wall and from the wall to the interfacial annulus are developed. To ensure the technological effectiveness of the obtained model, formulas for quantitative estimation of the heat transfer of the fluid flow into the surrounding environment are given. Show more

Abstract: The interaction of several workers with intelligent construction machinery can lead to serious collisions. Typically, the safety distance is used as an indicator of the safety of worker–machine interactions (WMI). However, the degree of risk does not increase linearly with decreasing worker–machine distances. To further reveal the essence of WMI safety, this study proposes a new method for assessing the safety state of WMIs, namely, the construction safety potential field. It is used to describe the factors and patterns associated with the spatial overlap and decay of hazardous energy in WMI operations. The proposed method was tested in an earthworks …construction WMI operation and the results were valid. A preliminary discussion of the relevant parameters constituting the construction safety potential field model is presented. The contributions of the research is proposing a generic energy-based model, which provides a novel idea for the interpretation of safety issues in construction WMI operations and opens up a new foundation for the development of active safety control.

Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformer architectures have traditionally been recognized as the preferred models for addressing computer vision tasks. However, there has been a recent surge in the popularity of networks based on multi-layer perceptron (MLP) structures that do not rely on convolution or attention mechanisms. These MLP architectures have demonstrated exceptional performance in image classification tasks, exhibiting lower time complexity while maintaining high accuracy. In contrast, video classification tasks involve larger amounts of data and necessitate more intricate feature extraction, resulting in increased time and resource consumption. To enhance computational efficiency and minimize resource utilization, we propose a …convolution-free and Transformer-free architecture for video classification called Video-MLP for video classification. Video-MLP utilizes a simple MLP structure to learn video features. Specifically, it comprises two types of layers: Spatial-Mixer and Temporal-Mixer, which respectively capture spatial and temporal information. The Spatial-Mixer extracts spatial information from each frame along the height and width dimensions, while the Temporal-Mixer models temporal information for the same spatial positions across frames. To improve the efficiency of spatial-temporal modeling in our network, we used a spatial-temporal information fusion approach to integrate information at different scales. Additionally, we grouped the input data along the time dimension and designed three different grouping schemes when extracting temporal information. The experimental results indicate that Video-MLP achieved accuracy rates of 87.2% on the Kinetics-400 dataset and 75.3% on the SomethingV2 dataset, outperforming models with equivalent computational complexity. Notably, Video-MLP achieved these results without using convolution and attention mechanisms, and without pre-training on large-scale image and video datasets. Show more

Abstract: In the era of widespread connectivity, leveraging artificial intelligence models and analyzing the vast datasets generated by smart devices are central points in IoT research. While existing studies mainly focus on improving the decision-making prowess of central systems, the potential for local optimization remains largely unexplored.

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have gained significant attention in recent years due to their wide range of applications, such as environmental monitoring, smart agriculture, and structural health monitoring. With the increasing volume of data generated by WSNs, efficient data analytics techniques are crucial for improving the overall performance and reducing energy consumption. This paper presents a novel distributed data analytics approach for WSNs using fuzzy logic-based machine learning. The proposed method combines the advantages of fuzzy logic for handling uncertainty and imprecision with the adaptability of machine learning techniques. It enables sensor nodes to process and analyze data locally, reducing …the need for data transmission and consequently saving energy. Furthermore, this approach enhances data accuracy and fault tolerance by incorporating the fusion of heterogeneous sensor data. The proposed technique is evaluated on a series of real-world and synthetic datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving the overall network performance, energy efficiency, and fault tolerance.
