A Supervised Learning Framework for Accelerating Solvers and Metaheuristics in Routing Problems

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Routing problems such as the traveling salesman problem (TSP) and the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) are computationally challenging due to the exponential growth of their feasible solution spaces with increasing instance size.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

The Long Trajectory of Rubber Physics: 3500+ Years and Counting

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Natural rubber's trajectory is traced from Mesoamerican use of Castilla elastica through vulcanization and the pneumatic tire to macromolecular physics and modern solid‐state refrigeration. Illustrations of C. elastica and an H. brasiliensis plantation frame the historical progression from indigenous material, then industrial crop and on to advanced ...

Route generation for optimization in the Air Transport System : aircraft recovery problem and 4D trajectory planning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The punctuality and efficiency of the Air Transport System (ATS) has a significant impact on the economy. In 2016, the US Passenger Carrier Delay Costs were estimated to be USD 62.55 per minute and the total US flight arrival delays amounted to over 59 million minutes. Furthermore, air traffic volume is growing rapidly. The International Civil Aviation

Developing a Model for Solving the Flight Perturbation Problem

open access: yesJournal of Airline and Airport Management, 2015
Purpose: In the aviation and airline industry, crew costs are the second largest direct operating cost next to the fuel costs. But unlike the fuel costs, a considerable portion of the crew costs can be saved through optimized utilization of the internal ...

Impact of Weak‐Constraint Four‐Dimensional Variational data assimilation on the prediction of a sudden stratospheric warming event in 2024

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The Weak‐Constraint Four‐Dimensional Variational (WC‐4DVAR) system markedly improved the analysis and forecasting of the 2024 sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event. It reduced biases and enhanced 7–9 day predictions of temperature across the SSW life cycle, with the most pronounced gains for winds also during the critical onset period.

Key node identification and risk propagation of aircraft departure control

open access: yes四川大学学报. 自然科学版, 2023
The detection of aircraft departure risk is an important part of civil aviation safety production, but the current research focuses mostly on the aircraft movement process and static hazard sources, ignoring the control business impact and risk dynamic ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Simplified stability criteria for drone/carrier-aircraft close range flight

open access: yesHangkong gongcheng jinzhan
Both drone swarm intensive flight and drone aerial recovery involve the stability problem of drone/carrier-aircraft flight in close range interference flow field. This paper proposes an aerodynamic derivative model for drone/carrier-aircraft interference
