Energy Management Control StraEnergy Management Control Strategy for Renewable Energy System Based on Spotted Hyena Optimizertegy for Renewable Energy System Based on Spotted Hyena Optimizer

Hydrocarbons,carbon monoxide and other pollutants from the transportation sector harm human health in many ways.Fuel cell(FC)has been evolving rapidly over the past two decades due to its efficient mechanism to transform the chemical energy in hydrogen-rich compounds into electrical energy.The main drawback of the standalone FC is its slow dynamic response and its inability to supply rapid variations in the load demand.Therefore,adding energy storage systems is necessary.However,to manage and distribute the power-sharing among the hybrid proton exchange membrane(PEM)fuel cell(FC),battery storage(BS),and supercapacitor(SC),an energy management strategy(EMS)is essential.In this research work,an optimal EMS based on a spotted hyena optimizer(SHO)for hybrid PEM fuel cell/BS/SC is proposed.The main goal of an EMS is to improve the performance of hybrid FC/BS/SC and to reduce the amount of hydrogen consumption.To prove the superiority of the SHO method,the obtained results are compared with the chimp optimizer(CO),the artificial ecosystem-based optimizer(AEO),the seagull optimization algorithm(SOA),the sooty tern optimization algorithm(STOA),and the coyote optimization algorithm(COA).Two main metrics are used as a benchmark for the comparison:the minimum consumed hydrogen and the efficiency of the system.The main findings confirm that the minimum amount of hydrogen consumption and maximum efficiency are achieved by the proposed SHO based EMS.

Artificial intelligence for the early detection of colorectal cancer: A comprehensive review of its advantages and misconceptions

Colorectal cancer(CRC)was the second-ranked worldwide type of cancer during 2020 due to the crude mortality rate of 12.0 per 100000 inhabitants.It can be prevented if glandular tissue(adenomatous polyps)is detected early.Colonoscopy has been strongly recommended as a screening test for both early cancer and adenomatous polyps.However,it has some limitations that include the high polyp miss rate for smaller(<10 mm)or flat polyps,which are easily missed during visual inspection.Due to the rapid advancement of technology,artificial intelligence(AI)has been a thriving area in different fields,including medicine.Particularly,in gastroenterology AI software has been included in computer-aided systems for diagnosis and to improve the assertiveness of automatic polyp detection and its classification as a preventive method for CRC.This article provides an overview of recent research focusing on AI tools and their applications in the early detection of CRC and adenomatous polyps,as well as an insightful analysis of the main advantages and misconceptions in the field.

An Efficient Fuzzy Logic Fault Detection and Identification Method of Photovoltaic Inverters

Fuzzy logic control(FLC)systems have found wide utilization in several industrial applications.This paper proposes a fuzzy logic-based fault detection and identification method for open-circuit switch fault in grid-tied photovoltaic(PV)inverters.Large installations and ambitious plans have been recently achieved for PV systems as clean and renewable power generation sources due to their improved environmental impacts and availability everywhere.Power converters represent the main parts for the grid integration of PV systems.However,PV power converters contain several power switches that construct their circuits.The power switches in PV systems are highly subjected to high stresses due to the continuously varying operating conditions.Moreover,the grid-tied systems represent nonlinear systems and the system model parameters are changing continuously.Consequently,the grid-tied PV systems have a nonlinear factor and the fault detection and identification(FDI)methods based on using mathematical models become more complex.The proposed fuzzy logic-based FDI(FL-FDI)method is based on employing the fuzzy logic concept for detecting and identifying the location of various switch faults.The proposed FL-FDI method is designed and extracted from the analysis and comparison of the various measured voltage/current components for the control purposes.Therefore,the proposed FL-FDI method does not require additional components or measurement circuits.Additionally,the proposed method can detect the faulty condition and also identify the location of the faulty switch for replacement and maintenance purposes.The proposed method can detect the faulty condition within only a single fundamental line period without the need for additional sensors and/or performing complex calculations or precise models.The proposed FL-FDI method is tested on the widely used T-type PV inverter system,wherein there are twelve different switches and the FDI process represents a challenging task.The results shows the superior and accurate performance of the proposed FL-FDI method.

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p→νK^(+)searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory(JUNO)is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics.In this study,the potential of searching for proton decay in the p→νK^(+)mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification.Moreover,the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals.Based on these advantages,the detection efficiency for the proton decay via p→νK^(+)is 36.9%±4.9%with a background level of 0.2±0.05(syst)±0.2(stat)events after 10 years of data collection.The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is 9.6×1033 years,which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies.

MillenniumDB:An Open-Source Graph Database System

In this systems paper,we present MillenniumDB:a novel graph database engine that is modular,persistent,and open source.MillenniumDB is based on a graph data model,which we call domain graphs,that provides a simple abstraction upon which a variety of popular graph models can be supported,thus providing a flexible data management engine for diverse types of knowledge graph.The engine itself is founded on a combination of tried and tested techniques from relational data management,state-of-the-art algorithms for worst-case-optimal joins,as well as graph-specific algorithms for evaluating path queries.In this paper,we present the main design principles underlying MillenniumDB,describing the abstract graph model and query semantics supported,the concrete data model and query syntax implemented,as well as the storage,indexing,query planning and query evaluation techniques used.We evaluate MillenniumDB over real-world data and queries from the Wikidata knowledge graph,where we find that it outperforms other popular persistent graph database engines(including both enterprise and open source alternatives)that support similarqueryfeatures.

WTR:A Reputation Metric for Distributed Hash Tables Based on a Risk and Credibility Factor

The growing number of popular peer to peer applications during the last five years has implied for researchers to focus on how to build trust in such very large scale distributed systems. Reputation systems have shown to be a very good solution to build trust in presence of malicious nodes. We propose in this paper a new metric for reputation systems on top of a Distributed Hash Table that uses a notion of risk to make the applications aware of certain behaviours of malicious nodes. We show that our metric is able to significantly reduce the number of malicious transactions, and that it also provides very strong resistance to several traditional attacks of reputations systems. We also show that our solution can easily scale, and can be adapted to various Distributed Hash Tables.

Sub-percent precision measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters with JUNO

JUNO is a multi-purpose neutrino observatory under construction in the south of China.This publication presents new sensitivity estimates for the measurement of the △m_(31)^(2),△m_(21)^(2),sin^(2)θ_(12),and sin^(2)θ_(13) oscillation parameters using reactor antineutrinos,which is one of the primary physics goals of the experiment.The sensitivities are obtained using the best knowledge available to date on the location and overburden of the experimental site,the nuclear reactors in the surrounding area and beyond,the detector response uncertainties,and the reactor antineutrino spectral shape constraints expected from the TAO satellite detector.It is found that the △m_(21)^(2) and sin^(2)θ_(12) oscillation parameters will be determined to 0.5%precision or better in six years of data collection.In the same period,the △m_(31)^(2) parameter will be determined to about 0.2%precision for each mass ordering hypothesis.The new precision represents approximately an order of magnitude improvement over existing constraints for these three parameters.

Chaotic dynamics and coexistence in a three species interaction model

This work deals with a three-dimensional system, which describes a food web model consisting of a prey, a specialist predator and a top predator which is generalist as it consumes the other two species. Using tools of dynamical systems we prove that the trajectories of system are bounded and that open subsets of parameters exist, such that the system in the first octant has at most two singularities. For an open subset of the parameters space, the system is shown to have an invariant compact set and this is a topologically transitive attractor set. Finally, we find another open set in the parameters space, such that the system has two limit cycles each contained in different invariant planes. The work is completed with a numeric simulation showing the attractor is a strange attractor.

Feasibility and physics potential of detecting ^(8)B solar neutrinos at JUNO

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory(JUNO)features a 20 kt multi-purpose underground liquid scintillator sphere as its main detector.Some of JUNO's features make it an excellent location for^8B solar neutrino measurements,such as its low-energy threshold,high energy resolution compared with water Cherenkov detectors,and much larger target mass compared with previous liquid scintillator detectors.In this paper,we present a comprehensive assessment of JUNO's potential for detecting^8B solar neutrinos via the neutrino-electron elastic scattering process.A reduced 2 MeV threshold for the recoil electron energy is found to be achievable,assuming that the intrinsic radioactive background^(238)U and^(232)Th in the liquid scintillator can be controlled to 10^(-17)g/g.With ten years of data acquisition,approximately 60,000 signal and 30,000 background events are expected.This large sample will enable an examination of the distortion of the recoil electron spectrum that is dominated by the neutrino flavor transformation in the dense solar matter,which will shed new light on the inconsistency between the measured electron spectra and the predictions of the standard three-flavor neutrino oscillation framework.IfDelta m^(2)_(21)=4.8times10^(-5);(7.5times10^(-5))eV^(2),JUNO can provide evidence of neutrino oscillation in the Earth at approximately the 3sigma(2sigma)level by measuring the non-zero signal rate variation with respect to the solar zenith angle.Moreover,JUNO can simultaneously measureDelta m^2_(21)using^8B solar neutrinos to a precision of 20% or better,depending on the central value,and to sub-percent precision using reactor antineutrinos.A comparison of these two measurements from the same detector will help understand the current mild inconsistency between the value of Delta m^2_(21)reported by solar neutrino experiments and the KamLAND experiment.
