Wave surfing is a multi-billion dollar industry involving both maneuverability and speed, yet little research has been performed regarding the highest lift-to-drag-ratio fin shape for these competing qualities. Numerical modeling and laboratory exper...

In order to overcome the drawbacks of low search efficiency and susceptibility to local optimal traps in PSO, this study proposes a multi-strategy particle swarm optimization (PSO) with information acquisition, referred to as IA-DTPSO. Firstly, Sobol...

A multi-strategy enhanced version of the escape algorithm (mESC, for short) is proposed to address the challenges of balancing exploration and development stages and low convergence accuracy in the escape algorithm (ESC). Firstly, an adaptive perturb...

The subset sum problem is a classical NP-hard problem. Various methods have been developed to address this issue, including backtracking techniques, dynamic programming approaches, branch-and-bound strategies, and Monte Carlo methods. In recent years...

This study aims to address the clinical needs of hemiplegic and stroke patients with lower limb motor impairments, including gait abnormalities, muscle weakness, and loss of motor coordination during rehabilitation. To achieve this, it proposes an in...

Surface electromyography (sEMG) non-invasively captures the electrical activity generated by muscle contractions, offering valuable insights into motion intentions. While sEMG has been widely applied to general gesture recognition in rehabilitation,...

This paper addresses the critical challenge of optimizing the energy efficiency of induction motors, which are pivotal components across diverse industrial sectors due to their substantial energy consumption. Given the non-measurable internal paramet...

To create an orthodontic bracket material combining the favourable properties of ceramic and polymer while minimising their limitations, graded porous ceramic scaffolds were created using unidirectional gelation-freeze casting, following which the po...

An improved black-winged kite algorithm with multiple strategies (BKAIM) is proposed in this paper to address two critical limitations in the original black-winged kite optimization algorithm (BKA): the restricted search capability caused by the low-...

Transfer learning is the act of using the data or knowledge in a problem to help solve different but related problems. In a brain computer interface (BCI), it is important to deal with individual differences between topics and/or tasks. A kind of cap...
