An Improved Artificial Rabbits Optimization Algorithm with Chaotic Local Search and Opposition-Based Learning for Engineering Problems and Its Applications in Breast Cancer Problem

Artificial rabbits optimization(ARO)is a recently proposed biology-based optimization algorithm inspired by the detour foraging and random hiding behavior of rabbits in nature.However,for solving optimization problems,the ARO algorithm shows slow convergence speed and can fall into local minima.To overcome these drawbacks,this paper proposes chaotic opposition-based learning ARO(COARO),an improved version of the ARO algorithm that incorporates opposition-based learning(OBL)and chaotic local search(CLS)techniques.By adding OBL to ARO,the convergence speed of the algorithm increases and it explores the search space better.Chaotic maps in CLS provide rapid convergence by scanning the search space efficiently,since their ergodicity and non-repetitive properties.The proposed COARO algorithm has been tested using thirty-three distinct benchmark functions.The outcomes have been compared with the most recent optimization algorithms.Additionally,the COARO algorithm’s problem-solving capabilities have been evaluated using six different engineering design problems and compared with various other algorithms.This study also introduces a binary variant of the continuous COARO algorithm,named BCOARO.The performance of BCOARO was evaluated on the breast cancer dataset.The effectiveness of BCOARO has been compared with different feature selection algorithms.The proposed BCOARO outperforms alternative algorithms,according to the findings obtained for real applications in terms of accuracy performance,and fitness value.Extensive experiments show that the COARO and BCOARO algorithms achieve promising results compared to other metaheuristic algorithms.

An Improved Bald Eagle Search Algorithm with Cauchy Mutation and Adaptive Weight Factor for Engineering Optimization

The Bald Eagle Search algorithm(BES)is an emerging meta-heuristic algorithm.The algorithm simulates the hunting behavior of eagles,and obtains an optimal solution through three stages,namely selection stage,search stage and swooping stage.However,BES tends to drop-in local optimization and the maximum value of search space needs to be improved.To fill this research gap,we propose an improved bald eagle algorithm(CABES)that integrates Cauchy mutation and adaptive optimization to improve the performance of BES from local optima.Firstly,CABES introduces the Cauchy mutation strategy to adjust the step size of the selection stage,to select a better search range.Secondly,in the search stage,CABES updates the search position update formula by an adaptive weight factor to further promote the local optimization capability of BES.To verify the performance of CABES,the benchmark function of CEC2017 is used to simulate the algorithm.The findings of the tests are compared to those of the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm(PSO),Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA)and Archimedes Algorithm(AOA).The experimental results show that CABES can provide good exploration and development capabilities,and it has strong competitiveness in testing algorithms.Finally,CABES is applied to four constrained engineering problems and a groundwater engineeringmodel,which further verifies the effectiveness and efficiency of CABES in practical engineering problems.

Comparison of Websites Employing Search Engine Optimization and Live Data

This study compares websites that take live data into account using search engine optimization(SEO).A series of steps called search engine optimization can help a website rank highly in search engine results.Static websites and dynamic websites are two different types of websites.Static websites must have the necessary expertise in programming compatible with SEO.Whereas in dynamic websites,one can utilize readily available plugins/modules.The fundamental issue of all website holders is the lower level of page rank,congestion,utilization,and exposure of the website on the search engine.Here,the authors have studied the live data of four websites as the real-time data would indicate how the SEO strategy may be applied to website page rank,page difficulty removal,and brand query,etc.It is also necessary to choose relevant keywords on any website.The right keyword might assist to increase the brand query while also lowering the page difficulty both on and off the page.In order to calculate Off-page SEO,On-page SEO,and SEO Difficulty,the authors examined live data in this study and chose four well-known Indian university and institute websites for this study:www.caluniv.ac.in,www.jnu.ac.in,www.iima.ac.in,and www.iitb.ac.in.Using live data and SEO,the authors estimated the Off-page SEO,On-page SEO,and SEO Difficulty.It has been shown that the Off-page SEO of www.caluniv.ac.in is lower than that of www.jnu.ac.in,www.iima.ac.in,and www.iitb.ac.in by 9%,7%,and 7%,respectively.On-page SEO is,in comparison,4%,1%,and 1%more.Every university has continued to keep up its own brand query.Additionally,www.caluniv.ac.in has slightly less SEO Difficulty compared to other websites.The final computed results have been displayed and compared.

Harmony search optimization applied to reservoir engineering assisted history matching

Based on the analysis of characteristics and advantages of HSO(harmony search optimization) algorithm, HSO was used in reservoir engineering assisted history matching of Kareem reservoir in Amal field in the Gulf of Suez, Egypt. HSO algorithm has the following advantages:(1) The good balance between exploration and exploitation techniques during searching for optimal solutions makes the HSO algorithm robust and efficient.(2) The diversity of generated solutions is more effectively controlled by two components, making it suitable for highly non-linear problems in reservoir engineering history matching.(3) The integration between the three components(harmony memory values, pitch adjusting and randomization) of the HSO helps in finding unbiased solutions.(4) The implementation process of the HSO algorithm is much easier. The HSO algorithm and two other commonly used algorithms(genetic and particle swarm optimization algorithms) were used in three reservoir engineering history match questions of different complex degrees, which are two material balance history matches of different scales and one reservoir history matching. The results were compared, which proves the superiority and validity of HSO. The results of Kareem reservoir history matching show that using the HSO algorithm as the optimization method in the assisted history matching workflow improves the simulation quality and saves solution time significantly.

PID Parameters for Tuning and Optimization of a Turbine EngineBased on the Simplex Search Method

A PID parameters tuning and optimization method for a turbine engine based on the simplex search method was proposed. Taking time delay of combustion and actuator into account, a simulation model of a PID control system for a turbine engine was developed. A performance index based on the integral of absolute error （IAE） was given as an objective function of optimization. In order to avoid the sensitivity that resulted from the initial values of the simplex search method, the traditional Ziegler-Nichols method was used to tune PID parameters to obtain the initial values at first, then the simplex search method was applied to optimize PID parameters for the turbine engine. Simulation results indicate that the simplex search method is a reasonable and effective method for PID controller parameters tuning and optimization.

Website Search Engine Optimization: Geographical and Cultural Point of View

The concept of Webpage visibility is usually linked to search engine optimization (SEO), and it is based on global in-link metric [1]. SEO is the process of designing Webpages to optimize its potential to rank high on search engines, preferably on the first page of the results page. The purpose of this research study is to analyze the influence of local geographical area, in terms of cultural values, and the effect of local society keywords in increasing Website visibility. Websites were analyzed by accessing the source code of their homepages through Google Chrome browser. Statistical analysis methods were selected to assess and analyze the results of the SEO and search engine visibility (SEV). The results obtained suggest that the development of Web indicators to be included should consider a local idea of visibility, and consider a certain geographical context.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Inspection Routing and Scheduling for Engineering Management

Technological advancements in unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)have revolutionized various industries,enabling the widespread adoption of UAV-based solutions.In engineering management,UAV-based inspection has emerged as a highly efficient method for identifying hidden risks in high-risk construction environments,surpassing traditional inspection techniques.Building on this foundation,this paper delves into the optimization of UAV inspection routing and scheduling,addressing the complexity introduced by factors such as no-fly zones,monitoring-interval time windows,and multiple monitoring rounds.To tackle this challenging problem,we propose a mixed-integer linear programming(MILP)model that optimizes inspection task assignments,monitoring sequence schedules,and charging decisions.The comprehensive consideration of these factors differentiates our problem from conventional vehicle routing problem(VRP),leading to a mathematically intractable model for commercial solvers in the case of large-scale instances.To overcome this limitation,we design a tailored variable neighborhood search(VNS)metaheuristic,customizing the algorithm to efficiently solve our model.Extensive numerical experiments are conducted to validate the efficacy of our proposed algorithm,demonstrating its scalability for both large-scale and real-scale instances.Sensitivity experiments and a case study based on an actual engineering project are also conducted,providing valuable insights for engineering managers to enhance inspection work efficiency.

RESEARCH ON OPTIMIZING THE MERGING RESULTS OF MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS BY A DISCRETE PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION

The result merging for multiple Independent Resource Retrieval Systems (IRRSs), which is a key component in developing a meta-search engine, is a difficult problem that still not effectively solved. Most of the existing result merging methods, usually suffered a great influence from the usefulness weight of different IRRS results and overlap rate among them. In this paper, we proposed a scheme that being capable of coalescing and optimizing a group of existing multi-sources-retrieval merging results effectively by Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO). The experimental results show that the DPSO, not only can overall outperform all the other result merging algorithms it employed, but also has better adaptability in application for unnecessarily taking into account different IRRS's usefulness weight and their overlap rate with respect to a concrete query. Compared to other result merging algorithms it employed, the DPSO's recognition precision can increase nearly 24.6%, while the precision standard deviation for different queries can decrease about 68.3%.

An Effective Fault Diagnosis Method for Aero Engines Based on GSA-SAE

The health status of aero engines is very important to the flight safety.However,it is difficult for aero engines to make an effective fault diagnosis due to its complex structure and poor working environment.Therefore,an effective fault diagnosis method for aero engines based on the gravitational search algorithm and the stack autoencoder(GSA-SAE)is proposed,and the fault diagnosis technology of a turbofan engine is studied.Firstly,the data of 17 parameters,including total inlet air temperature,high-pressure rotor speed,low-pressure rotor speed,turbine pressure ratio,total inlet air temperature of high-pressure compressor and outlet air pressure of high-pressure compressor and so on,are preprocessed,and the fault diagnosis model architecture of SAE is constructed.In order to solve the problem that the best diagnosis effect cannot be obtained due to manually setting the number of neurons in each hidden layer of SAE network,a GSA optimization algorithm for the SAE network is proposed to find and obtain the optimal number of neurons in each hidden layer of SAE network.Furthermore,an optimal fault diagnosis model based on GSA-SAE is established for aero engines.Finally,the effectiveness of the optimal GSA-SAE fault diagnosis model is demonstrated using the practical data of aero engines.The results illustrate that the proposed fault diagnosis method effectively solves the problem of the poor fault diagnosis result because of manually setting the number of neurons in each hidden layer of SAE network,and has good fault diagnosis efficiency.The fault diagnosis accuracy of the GSA-SAE model reaches 98.222%,which is significantly higher than that of SAE,the general regression neural network(GRNN)and the back propagation(BP)network fault diagnosis models.
