The rural land use preferences of multiple agents are crucial for optimizing land-use allocation. Taking Guanlin Town, Yixing City, China as an example, this study analyzed the factors by effecting conversion probability, identified objectives and constraints within optimization allocation, simulated optimal allocation 2030 combining MAS with MOPSO procedure. results showed that decisions main ...

One of the strategies for the reduction of energy consumption in railways systems is to execute efficient drivings (eco-driving). This eco-driving is the speed profile that requires the minimum energy consumption without degrading commercial running times or passenger comfort. When the trains are equipped with Automatic Train Operation systems (ATO) additional difficulties are involved. Their p...

This study is devoted to discrete sizing optimization of truss structures employing an efficient discrete evolutionary meta-heuristic algorithm which uses the Newton gradient-based method as its updating scheme and it is named here as Newton Meta-heuristic Algorithm (NMA). In order to enable the NMA population-based meta-heuristic to effectively explore the discrete design space, a term contain...

Due to limited financial resources and high costs of infrastructure projects, project stakeholders seek gain maximum profits with optimal resource utilization as well cost time minimization. Therefore, this study presents a multi-mode resource-constrained scheduling model considering the uncertain parameters together goals maximizing net present value minimizing usage fluctuation. Also, assumpt...

Fusion frames are valuable generalizations of discrete frames. Most concepts of fusion frames are shared by discrete frames. However, the dual setting is so complicated. In particular, unlike discrete frames, two fusion frames are not dual of each other in general. In this paper, we investigate the structure of the duals of fusion frames and discuss the relation between the duals of fusion fram...

To control the welding residual stress and deformation of metal inert gas (MIG) welding, influence process parameters preheat (welding speed, heat input, temperature, area) is discussed, a prediction model established to select optimal combination parameters. Thermomechanical numerical analysis was performed obtain according 100 × 150 50 4 mm aluminum alloy 6061-T6 T-joint. Owing complexity pro...

This paper proposes an adaptive evolutionary radial basis function (RBF) network algorithm to evolve accuracy and connections (centers and weights) of RBF networks simultaneously. The problem of hybrid learning of RBF network is discussed with the multi-objective optimization methods to improve classification accuracy for medical disease diagnosis. In this paper, we introduce a time variant mul...
