Safe evacuation framework with intelligent dynamic exit sign system and demonstration in tunnel fire
Journal of Safety Science and ResilienceEmergency exit sign systems guide occupants to safety, but they may fail in fires when smoke blocks routes. This study introduces an Intelligent Dynamic Exit Sign (IDES) system, integrating a fire-detection sensor network with dynamic sign patterns ...

Applications of Bee Colony Optimization [PDF]
, 2013 Many computationally difficult problems are attacked using non-exact algorithms, such as approximation algorithms and heuristics. This thesis investigates an ex- ample of the latter, Bee Colony Optimization, on both an established optimization problem in

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure disrupts oocyte maturation and early embryonic development. This study elucidates the mechanism by which enhanced O‐GlcNAcylation of FOXK1 underlies the PFOS‐induced reduction of progesterone levels in granulosa cells and the disturbance of follicular microenvironment.
