Project description:The fifth-generation (5G) network is presented as one of the main options for Industry 4.0 connectivity. Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC) is the 5G service category used by critical mechanisms, with a millisecond end-to-end delay and reduced probability of failure. 5G defines new numerologies, together with mini-slots for a faster scheduling. The main challenge of this is to select the appropriate numerology according to radio conditions. This fact is very important in industrial scenarios, where the fundamental problems are interference and multipath propagation, due to the presence of concrete walls and large metallic machinery and structures. Therefore, this paper is focused on analyzing the impact of the numerology selection on the delay experienced at radio link level for a remote-control service. The study, which has been carried out in a simulated cellular factory environment, has been performed for different packet sizes and channel conditions, focusing on outliers. Evaluation results show that not always a higher numerology, with a shorter slot duration, is appropriate for this type of service, particularly under Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) conditions.

Project description:This paper considers the problem of building adaptive fuzzy-logic traffic control systems (AFLTCS) to deal with information fuzziness and uncertainty in case of heavy traffic streams. Methods of formal description of traffic control on the crossroads based on fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic are proposed. This paper also provides efficient algorithms for implementing AFLTCS and develops the appropriate simulation models to test the efficiency of suggested approach.

Project description:The traditional full-scan method is commonly used for identifying critical links in road networks. This method simulates each link to be closed iteratively and measures its impact on the efficiency of the whole network. It can accurately identify critical links. However, in this method, traffic assignments are conducted under all scenarios of link disruption, making this process prohibitively time-consuming for large-scale road networks. This paper proposes an approach considering the traffic flow betweenness index (TFBI) to identify critical links, which can significantly reduce the computational burden compared with the traditional full-scan method. The TFBI consists of two parts: traffic flow betweenness and endpoint origin-destination (OD) demand (rerouted travel demand). There is a weight coefficient between these two parts. Traffic flow betweenness is established by considering the shortest travel-time path betweenness, link traffic flow and total OD demand. The proposed approach consists of the following main steps. First, a sample road network is selected to calibrate the weight coefficient between traffic flow betweenness and endpoint OD demand in the TFBI using the network robustness index. This index calculates changes in the whole-system travel time due to each link's closure under the traditional full-scan method. Then, candidate critical links are pre-selected according to the TFBI value of each link. Finally, a given number of real critical links are identified from the candidate critical links using the traditional full-scan method. The applicability and computational efficiency of the TFBI-based approach are demonstrated for the road network in Changchun, China.

Project description:The ribosome flow model with input and output (RFMIO) is a deterministic dynamical system that has been used to study the flow of ribosomes during mRNA translation. The input of the RFMIO controls its initiation rate and the output represents the ribosome exit rate (and thus the protein production rate) at the 3' end of the mRNA molecule. The RFMIO and its variants encapsulate important properties that are relevant to modeling ribosome flow such as the possible evolution of "traffic jams" and non-homogeneous elongation rates along the mRNA molecule, and can also be used for studying additional intracellular processes such as transcription, transport, and more. Here we consider networks of interconnected RFMIOs as a fundamental tool for modeling, analyzing and re-engineering the complex mechanisms of protein production. In these networks, the output of each RFMIO may be divided, using connection weights, between several inputs of other RFMIOs. We show that under quite general feedback connections the network has two important properties: (1) it admits a unique steady-state and every trajectory converges to this steady-state; and (2) the problem of how to determine the connection weights so that the network steady-state output is maximized is a convex optimization problem. These mathematical properties make these networks highly suitable as models of various phenomena: property (1) means that the behavior is predictable and ordered, and property (2) means that determining the optimal weights is numerically tractable even for large-scale networks. For the specific case of a feed-forward network of RFMIOs we prove an additional useful property, namely, that there exists a spectral representation for the network steady-state, and thus it can be determined without any numerical simulations of the dynamics. We describe the implications of these results to several fundamental biological phenomena and biotechnological objectives.

Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing technologies have enabled us to study tissue heterogeneity at cellular resolution. Fast-developing sequencing platforms like droplet-based sequencing make it feasible to parallel process thousands of single cells effectively. Although a unique molecular identifier (UMI) can remove bias from amplification noise to a certain extent, clustering for such sparse and high-dimensional large-scale discrete data remains intractable and challenging. Most existing deep learning-based clustering methods utilize the mean square error or negative binomial distribution with or without zero inflation to denoise single-cell UMI count data, which may underfit or overfit the gene expression profiles. In addition, neglecting the molecule sampling mechanism and extracting representation by simple linear dimension reduction with a hard clustering algorithm may distort data structure and lead to spurious analytical results. In this paper, we combined the deep autoencoder technique with statistical modeling and developed a novel and effective clustering method, scDMFK, for single-cell transcriptome UMI count data. ScDMFK utilizes multinomial distribution to characterize data structure and draw support from neural network to facilitate model parameter estimation. In the learned low-dimensional latent space, we proposed an adaptive fuzzy k-means algorithm with entropy regularization to perform soft clustering. Various simulation scenarios and the analysis of 10 real datasets have shown that scDMFK outperforms other state-of-the-art methods with respect to data modeling and clustering algorithms. Besides, scDMFK has excellent scalability for large-scale single-cell datasets.

Project description:This investigation is conducted to study the integration of the artificial intelligence (AI) method with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The case study is hydrodynamic and heat-transfer analyses of water flow in a metal foam tube under a constant wall heat flux (i.e., 55 kW/m2). The adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is an AI method. A 3D CFD model is established in ANSYS-FLUENT software. The velocity of the fluid in the x-direction (Ux) is considered as an output of the ANFIS. The x, y, and z coordinates of the node's location are added to the ANFIS step-by-step to achieve the best intelligence. The number and type of membership functions (MFs) are changed in each step. The training process is done by the CFD results on the tube cross-sections at different lengths (i.e., z = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9), while all data (including z = 0.5) are selected for the testing process. The results showed that the ANFIS reaches the best intelligence with all three inputs, five MFs, and "gbellmf"-type MF. At this condition, the regression number is close to 1.

Project description:PurposeProlonged transfer times between the primary stroke center (PSC) and the comprehensive stroke center (CSC) are one of the major causes of treatment delay for endovascular stroke treatment. We aimed to analyze the effect of the diurnal variations in traffic rates at weekdays and weekends on the catchment area size of three transportation paradigms, i.e. mothership, drip-and-ship (DS) and drip-and-drive (DD).MethodsA conditional probability model that predicts the probability of good outcome for patients with suspected large vessel occlusion was used to analyze the prehospital stroke triage in northwest Germany and produce catchment area maps. Transportation times were calculated during each hour of a weekday and a Sunday using Google Maps. For comparison, real DD transportation times from our CSC in Hamburg-Eppendorf (blinded for review) to a PSC in Lüneburg were prospectively recorded.ResultOn weekdays, the mothership catchment area was the largest (≥40,000 km2, 63%) except for a decrease during morning rush hours, when the DD catchment area was highest (30,879 km2, 48%). The DS catchment area was higher than the DD catchment area during the afternoon rush hours both during the week as well as on Sundays.ConclusionOur study showed a considerable impact of the diurnal variations in traffic rate and direction of travel on optimal stroke transportation. Stroke systems of care should take real time traffic information into account.

Project description:Filling ability is one of the prominent rheological properties of the self-compacting concrete (SCC), which has been studied in this research work deploying the functional behavior of the concrete through the studied funnel apparatus using the coupled ANSYS-SPH interface. Seven (7) model cases were studied and optimized. The aim of this numerical study is to propose a more sustainable mix of coarse and fine aggregates proportion that allows for most minimum flow time to enhance a more efficient filling of forms during concreting. The maximum size of the coarse aggregates considered is 20 mm and that of the fine aggregates is below 4 mm. The Bingham model properties for the multiphysics (SPH)-ANSYS models' simulation are; viscosity = 20 ≤ μ ≤ 100 and the yield stress = 50 [Formula: see text], standard flow time, t (s) ranges; 6 ≤ t ≤ 25 and the funnel volume is 12 L. The minimum boundary flow time, which represents the time it takes for the SCC to completely flow through a specified distance, typically measured in seconds was modeled for in the seven (7) model cases. The second case with 40% coarse mixed with 60% fine completely flowed out in 16 s, thus fulfilling the minimum flow time. This minimum flow time was considered alongside other relevant parameters and tests, such as slump flow, passing ability, segregation resistance, and rheological properties (stresses), to comprehensively assess the filling ability of SCC in this model. By considering these factors and the optimized mix (40%C + 60%F:16s), engineers and researchers can optimize the SCC mix design to achieve the desired flowability and filling performance for their specific construction applications. The multiphase optimized mix was further simulated using the coupled interface of the ANSYS-SPH platform operating with the CFX command at air temperature of 25 °C. The results show energy reduction jump at the optimized flow time. Ideally, the mix, 40%C + 60%F:16s has been proposed as the mix with the most efficient flow to achieve the filling ability for sustainable structural concrete construction.

Project description:Complex physiological dynamics have been argued to be a signature of healthy physiological function. Here we test whether the complexity of metabolic rate fluctuations in small endotherms decreases with lower environmental temperatures. To do so, we examine the multifractal temporal scaling properties of the rate of change in oxygen consumption r(VO2), in the laboratory mouse Mus musculus, assessing their long range correlation properties across seven different environmental temperatures, ranging from 0 °C to 30 °C. To do so, we applied multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA), finding that r(VO2) fluctuations show two scaling regimes. For small time scales below the crossover time (approximately 102 s), either monofractal or weak multifractal dynamics are observed depending on whether Ta < 15 °C or Ta > 15 °C respectively. For larger time scales, r(VO2) fluctuations are characterized by an asymptotic scaling exponent that indicates multifractal anti-persistent or uncorrelated dynamics. For both scaling regimes, a generalization of the multiplicative cascade model provides very good fits for the Renyi exponents ?(q), showing that the infinite number of exponents h(q) can be described by only two independent parameters, a and b. We also show that the long-range correlation structure of r(VO2) time series differs from randomly shuffled series, and may not be explained as an artifact of stochastic sampling of a linear frequency spectrum. These results show that metabolic rate dynamics in a well studied micro-endotherm are consistent with a highly non-linear feedback control system.

Project description:Anion and cation sensing aspects of a terpyridyl-imidazole based receptor have been utilized in this work for the fabrication of multiply configurable Boolean and fuzzy logic systems. The terpyridine moiety of the receptor is used for cation sensing through coordination, whereas the imidazole motif is utilized for anion sensing via hydrogen bonding interaction and/or anion-induced deprotonation, and the recognition event was monitored through absorption and emission spectroscopy. The receptor functions as a selective sensor for F- and Fe2+ among the studied anions and cations, respectively. Interestingly, the complexation of the receptor by Fe2+ and its decomplexation by F- and deprotonation of the receptor by F- and restoration to its initial form by acid are reversible and can be recycled. The receptor can mimic various logic operations such as combinatorial logic gate and keypad lock using its spectral responses through the sequential use of ionic inputs. Conducting very detailed sensing studies by varying the concentration of the analytes within a wide domain is often very time-consuming, laborious, and expensive. To decrease the time and expenses of the investigations, soft computing approaches such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), fuzzy logic, or adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) can be recommended to predict the experimental spectral data. Soft computing approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) include neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, and other tools based on statistical and mathematical optimizations. This study compares fuzzy, ANN, and ANFIS outputs to model the protonation-deprotonation and complexation-decomplexation behaviors of the receptor. Triangular membership functions (trimf) are used to model the ANFIS methodology. A good correlation is observed between experimental and model output data. The testing root mean square error (RMSE) for the ANFIS model is 0.0023 for protonation-deprotonation and 0.0036 for complexation-decomplexation data.
