A robust Monte Carlo-driven multi-criteria framework for enhancing photovoltaic penetration level with minimal total power losses for grid-connected system

Scientific African
Integrating high photovoltaic (PV) generation level into power distribution systems (PDS) enhances the grid’s sustainability. It reduces reliance on fossil fuels and introduces technical challenges, including voltage instability, increased system losses,

Accounting for functional diversity in biodiversity protection measures

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Globally, countries are becoming increasingly committed to conserving biodiversity. Traditional methods of measuring biodiversity are simple and might miss out on capturing some of the more important functional features that comprise ecosystems. We compare a real‐world conservation program with background vegetation data to explore whether these ...

Combining kernelised autoencoding and centroid prediction for dynamic multi‐objective optimisation

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary algorithms face significant challenges when dealing with dynamic multi‐objective optimisation because Pareto optimal solutions and/or Pareto optimal fronts change. The authors propose a unified paradigm, which combines the kernelised autoncoding evolutionary search and the centroid‐based prediction (denoted by KAEP), for solving ...

MOEA/D‐based multi‐row facility layout optimisation method with discontinuity perceiving of the Pareto front

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract In a multi‐row facility layout problem (MRFLP), facilities are arranged in more than one row under the limited layout area. Considering different layout factors, various extensions of MRFLP have been modelled. However, the orientation of input/output (I/O) point in a facility, as a key factor that plays a direct impact on flow cost, is seldom ...

Addressing ecological challenges from a quantum computing perspective

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract With increased access to data and the advent of computers, the use of statistical tools and numerical simulations is becoming commonplace for ecologists. These approaches help improve our understanding of ecological phenomena and their underlying mechanisms in increasingly complex environments.

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Multiobjective Tactical Planning under Uncertainty for Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management [PDF]

, 2013
We investigate a method to deal with congestion of sectors and delays in the tactical phase of air traffic flow and capacity management. It relies on temporal objectives given for every point of the flight plans and shared among the controllers in order ...

Using Eye Lens Stable Isotopes to Identify the Rearing Origin of Fall Age‐0 Walleye (Sander vitreus)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isotope values in fish eye lenses may be useful in differentiating rearing origins. We compared eye lens isotopic values of fall fingerling age‐0 walleye (Sander vitreus) reared in a hatchery pond, a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), and a natural lake. Using 10 fish per rearing source, we delaminated layers from one eye lens per fish to

Multi-Fidelity Neural Network-Aided Multi-Objective Optimization Framework for Shell Structure Dynamic Analysis

Applied Sciences
We address surrogate-assisted multi-objective optimization for computationally expensive structural designs. The testbed is an axisymmetric laminated composite shell whose geometry, ply angles, and plywise materials are optimized to simultaneously (i ...
