Flexible,thermal processable,self-healing,and fully bio-based starch plastics by constructing dynamic imine network

The serious environmental threat caused by petroleum-based plastics has spurred more researches in developing substitutes from renewable sources.Starch is desirable for fabricating bioplastic due to its abundance and renewable nature.However,limitations such as brittleness,hydrophilicity,and thermal properties restrict its widespread application.To overcome these issues,covalent adaptable network was constructed to fabricate a fully bio-based starch plastic with multiple advantages via Schiff base reactions.This strategy endowed starch plastic with excellent thermal processability,as evidenced by a low glass transition temperature(T_(g)=20.15℃).Through introducing Priamine with long carbon chains,the starch plastic demonstrated superior flexibility(elongation at break=45.2%)and waterproof capability(water contact angle=109.2°).Besides,it possessed a good thermal stability and self-adaptability,as well as solvent resistance and chemical degradability.This work provides a promising method to fabricate fully bio-based plastics as alternative to petroleum-based plastics.

For training the present Neural Network(NN)models,the standard technique is to utilize decaying Learning Rates(LR).While the majority of these techniques commence with a large LR,they will decay multiple times over time.Decaying has been proved to enhance generalization as well as optimization.Other parameters,such as the network’s size,the number of hidden layers,drop-outs to avoid overfitting,batch size,and so on,are solely based on heuristics.This work has proposed Adaptive Teaching Learning Based(ATLB)Heuristic to identify the optimal hyperparameters for diverse networks.Here we consider three architec-tures Recurrent Neural Networks(RNN),Long Short Term Memory(LSTM),Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory(BiLSTM)of Deep Neural Networks for classification.The evaluation of the proposed ATLB is done through the various learning rate schedulers Cyclical Learning Rate(CLR),Hyperbolic Tangent Decay(HTD),and Toggle between Hyperbolic Tangent Decay and Triangular mode with Restarts(T-HTR)techniques.Experimental results have shown the performance improvement on the 20Newsgroup,Reuters Newswire and IMDB dataset.

ECGAN:Translate Real World to Cartoon Style Using Enhanced Cartoon Generative Adversarial Network

Visual illustration transformation from real-world to cartoon images is one of the famous and challenging tasks in computer vision.Image-to-image translation from real-world to cartoon domains poses issues such as a lack of paired training samples,lack of good image translation,low feature extraction from the previous domain images,and lack of high-quality image translation from the traditional generator algorithms.To solve the above-mentioned issues,paired independent model,high-quality dataset,Bayesian-based feature extractor,and an improved generator must be proposed.In this study,we propose a high-quality dataset to reduce the effect of paired training samples on the model’s performance.We use a Bayesian Very Deep Convolutional Network(VGG)-based feature extractor to improve the performance of the standard feature extractor because Bayesian inference regu-larizes weights well.The generator from the Cartoon Generative Adversarial Network(GAN)is modified by introducing a depthwise convolution layer and channel attention mechanism to improve the performance of the original generator.We have used the Fréchet inception distance(FID)score and user preference score to evaluate the performance of the model.The FID scores obtained for the generated cartoon and real-world images are 107 and 76 for the TCC style,and 137 and 57 for the Hayao style,respectively.User preference score is also calculated to evaluate the quality of generated images and our proposed model acquired a high preference score compared to other models.We achieved stunning results in producing high-quality cartoon images,demonstrating the proposed model’s effectiveness in transferring style between authentic images and cartoon images.

Genetics Based Compact Fuzzy System for Visual Sensor Network

As a component of Wireless Sensor Network(WSN),Visual-WSN(VWSN)utilizes cameras to obtain relevant data including visual recordings and static images.Data from the camera is sent to energy efficient sink to extract key-information out of it.VWSN applications range from health care monitoring to military surveillance.In a network with VWSN,there are multiple challenges to move high volume data from a source location to a target and the key challenges include energy,memory and I/O resources.In this case,Mobile Sinks(MS)can be employed for data collection which not only collects information from particular chosen nodes called Cluster Head(CH),it also collects data from nearby nodes as well.The innovation of our work is to intelligently decide on a particular node as CH whose selection criteria would directly have an impact on QoS parameters of the system.However,making an appropriate choice during CH selection is a daunting task as the dynamic and mobile nature of MSs has to be taken into account.We propose Genetic Machine Learning based Fuzzy system for clustering which has the potential to simulate human cognitive behavior to observe,learn and understand things from manual perspective.Proposed architecture is designed based on Mamdani’s fuzzy model.Following parameters are derived based on the model residual energy,node centrality,distance between the sink and current position,node centrality,node density,node history,and mobility of sink as input variables for decision making in CH selection.The inputs received have a direct impact on the Fuzzy logic rules mechanism which in turn affects the accuracy of VWSN.The proposed work creates a mechanism to learn the fuzzy rules using Genetic Algorithm(GA)and to optimize the fuzzy rules base in order to eliminate irrelevant and repetitive rules.Genetic algorithmbased machine learning optimizes the interpretability aspect of fuzzy system.Simulation results are obtained using MATLAB.The result shows that the classification accuracy increase along with minimizing fuzzy rules count and thus it can be inferred that the suggested methodology has a better protracted lifetime in contrast with Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy(LEACH)and LEACHExpected Residual Energy(LEACH-ERE).

Using GAN Neural Networks for Super-Resolution Reconstruction of Temperature Fields

A Generative Adversarial Neural(GAN)network is designed based on deep learning for the Super-Resolution(SR)reconstruction task of temperaturefields(comparable to downscaling in the meteorologicalfield),which is limited by the small number of ground stations and the sparse distribution of observations,resulting in a lack offineness of data.To improve the network’s generalization performance,the residual structure,and batch normalization are used.Applying the nearest interpolation method to avoid over-smoothing of the climate element values instead of the conventional Bicubic interpolation in the computer visionfield.Sub-pixel convolution is used instead of transposed convolution or interpolation methods for up-sampling to speed up network inference.The experimental dataset is the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis v5(ERA5)with a bidirectional resolution of 0:1°×0:1°.On the other hand,the task aims to scale up the size by a factor of 8,which is rare compared to conventional methods.The comparison methods include traditional interpolation methods and a more widely used GAN-based network such as the SRGAN.Thefinal experimental results show that the proposed scheme advances the performance of Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)by 37.25%,the Peak Signal-to-noise Ratio(PNSR)by 14.4%,and the Structural Similarity(SSIM)by 10.3%compared to the Bicubic Interpolation.For the traditional SRGAN network,a relatively obvious performance improvement is observed by experimental demonstration.Meanwhile,the GAN network can converge stably and reach the approximate Nash equilibrium for various initialization parameters to empirically illustrate the effectiveness of the method in the temperature fields.

Honey Badger Algorithm Based Clustering with Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor network(WSN)includes a set of self-organizing and homogenous nodes employed for data collection and tracking applications.It comprises a massive set of nodes with restricted energy and processing abilities.Energy dissipation is a major concern involved in the design of WSN.Clustering and routing protocols are considered effective ways to reduce the quantity of energy dissipation using metaheuristic algorithms.In order to design an energy aware cluster-based route planning scheme,this study introduces a novel Honey Badger Based Clustering with African Vulture Optimization based Routing(HBAC-AVOR)protocol for WSN.The presented HBAC-AVOR model mainly aims to cluster the nodes in WSN effectually and organize the routes in an energy-efficient way.The presented HBAC-AVOR model follows a two stage process.At the initial stage,the HBAC technique is exploited to choose an opti-mal set of cluster heads(CHs)utilizing afitness function involving many input parameters.Next,the AVOR approach was executed for determining the optimal routes to BS and thereby lengthens the lifetime of WSN.A detailed simulation analysis was executed to highlight the increased outcomes of the HBAC-AVOR protocol.On comparing with existing techniques,the HBAC-AVOR model has outperformed existing techniques with maximum lifetime.

Lateral interaction by Laplacian‐based graph smoothing for deep neural networks

Lateral interaction in the biological brain is a key mechanism that underlies higher cognitive functions.Linear self‐organising map(SOM)introduces lateral interaction in a general form in which signals of any modality can be used.Some approaches directly incorporate SOM learning rules into neural networks,but incur complex operations and poor extendibility.The efficient way to implement lateral interaction in deep neural networks is not well established.The use of Laplacian Matrix‐based Smoothing(LS)regularisation is proposed for implementing lateral interaction in a concise form.The authors’derivation and experiments show that lateral interaction implemented by SOM model is a special case of LS‐regulated k‐means,and they both show the topology‐preserving capability.The authors also verify that LS‐regularisation can be used in conjunction with the end‐to‐end training paradigm in deep auto‐encoders.Additionally,the benefits of LS‐regularisation in relaxing the requirement of parameter initialisation in various models and improving the classification performance of prototype classifiers are evaluated.Furthermore,the topologically ordered structure introduced by LS‐regularisation in feature extractor can improve the generalisation performance on classification tasks.Overall,LS‐regularisation is an effective and efficient way to implement lateral interaction and can be easily extended to different models.

A Sketch-Based Generation Model for Diverse Ceramic Tile Images Using Generative Adversarial Network

Ceramic tiles are one of the most indispensable materials for interior decoration.The ceramic patterns can’t match the design requirements in terms of diversity and interactivity due to their natural textures.In this paper,we propose a sketch-based generation method for generating diverse ceramic tile images based on a hand-drawn sketches using Generative Adversarial Network(GAN).The generated tile images can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the user for the tile textures.The proposed method consists of four steps.Firstly,a dataset of ceramic tile images with diverse distributions is created and then pre-trained based on GAN.Secondly,for each ceramic tile image in the dataset,the corresponding sketch image is generated and then the mapping relationship between the images is trained based on a sketch extraction network using ResNet Block and jump connection to improve the quality of the generated sketches.Thirdly,the sketch style is redefined according to the characteristics of the ceramic tile images and then double cross-domain adversarial loss functions are employed to guide the ceramic tile generation network for fitting in the direction of the sketch style and to improve the training speed.Finally,we apply hidden space perturbation and interpolation for further enriching the output textures style and satisfying the concept of“one style with multiple faces”.We conduct the training process of the proposed generation network on 2583 ceramic tile images dataset.To measure the generative diversity and quality,we use Frechet Inception Distance(FID)and Blind/Referenceless Image Spatial Quality Evaluator(BRISQUE)metrics.The experimental results prove that the proposed model greatly enhances the generation results of the ceramic tile images,with FID of 32.47 and BRISQUE of 28.44.

Wireless sensor Mobile ad hoc networks have excellent potential in moving and monitoring disaster area networks on real-time basis.The recent challenges faced in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(MANETs)include scalability,localization,heterogeneous network,self-organization,and self-sufficient operation.In this background,the current study focuses on specially-designed communication link establishment for high connection stability of wireless mobile sensor networks,especially in disaster area network.Existing protocols focus on location-dependent communications and use networks based on typically-used Internet Protocol(IP)architecture.However,IP-based communications have a few limitations such as inefficient bandwidth utilization,high processing,less transfer speeds,and excessive memory intake.To overcome these challenges,the number of neighbors(Node Density)is minimized and high Mobility Nodes(Node Speed)are avoided.The proposed Geographic Drone Based Route Optimization(GDRO)method reduces the entire overhead to a considerable level in an efficient manner and significantly improves the overall performance by identifying the disaster region.This drone communicates with anchor node periodically and shares the information to it so as to introduce a drone-based disaster network in an area.Geographic routing is a promising approach to enhance the routing efficiency in MANET.This algorithm helps in reaching the anchor(target)node with the help of Geographical Graph-Based Mapping(GGM).Global Positioning System(GPS)is enabled on mobile network of the anchor node which regularly broadcasts its location information that helps in finding the location.In first step,the node searches for local and remote anticipated Expected Transmission Count(ETX),thereby calculating the estimated distance.Received Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI)results are stored in the local memory of the node.Then,the node calculates the least remote anticipated ETX,Link Loss Rate,and information to the new location.Freeway Heuristic algorithm improves the data speed,efficiency and determines the path and optimization problem.In comparison with other models,the proposed method yielded an efficient communication,increased the throughput,and reduced the end-to-end delay,energy consumption and packet loss performance in disaster area networks.
