Balancing Exploration and Exploitation Through a Sequential Hybrid of Roach Infestation and Mayfly Algorithms for Constrained Engineering Design Optimization

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining an effective balance between exploration and exploitation is essential during optimization processes, from mathematical functions to more complex problems such as constrained engineering design optimization, particularly when addressing highly nonlinear issues with numerous local optima and strict feasibility requirements.

Understanding the Aqueous Self‐Assembly of Raw Sophorolipid Mixtures Using a Statistical Approach Applied to Synchrotron Small Angle X‐Ray Scattering (SAXS): A Focus on pH, Dilution, Aging, and the Underestimated Role of Residual Fatty Acids

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
The statistical analysis of SAXS modelling data allows to identify the critical physicochemical parameters that have an impact on the phase behavior of crude sophorolipid batches. ABSTRACT The aqueous self‐assembly of raw sophorolipid mixtures has been studied by small angle x‐ray scattering (SAXS) to understand the impact of the composition ...

Polarization‐Dependence of Nonlinear Optical Effects in Silicon: The Case of Ultrafast Processing

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
The dependence of the input polarization for the nonlinear optical propagation in silicon is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The perturbative regime is examined using pump‐probe shadowgraphy and nonlinear transmission, whereas the case of permanent laser‐induced modifications is addressed using a combination of Raman micro‐spectroscopy ...

Timing is everything: The effect of early‐life seizures on developing neuronal circuits subserving spatial memory

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Spatial memory, the aspect of memory involving encoding and retrieval of information regarding one's environment and spatial orientation, is a complex biological function incorporating multiple neuronal networks. Hippocampus‐dependent spatial memory is not innate and emerges during development in both humans and rodents.

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Seismic Performance of Reduced‐Strength Steel MRFs With SMA‐Based Superelastic Friction Dampers: An Experimental Investigation

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit excellent self‐centering capability due to their stress‐induced phase transformation, making them highly suitable for applications in resilient infrastructure. This study investigates the seismic performance of reduced‐strength moment‐resisting frames (MRFs) equipped with SMA‐based superelastic friction ...

Three‐Dimensional Optical Characterization of Magnetostrictive Deformation in Magnomechanical Systems

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
An optical approach is proposed for real‐time and high‐precision detection of the magnetostrictive deformation of an yttrium‐iron‐garnet sphere in three dimensions, based on the deformation induced spatial high‐order modes of the scattered field, postselection, and balanced homodyne detection.
