Effect of Polymer Additives on Improvement of Concrete Properties by Neila Ye. Bekturganova, Inna V. Kolesnikova

“…In particular, due to its porosity, concrete is highly permeable to liquids, making it insufficiently resistant to frost and corrosion and sometimes even brittle. At the same time, concrete mixtures used in modern construction must meet requirements such as good adhesive properties, improved waterproofing, high workability, retention of rheological characteristics over time, and the potential for increased strength. …”

Neural network wind speed prediction based on multiple prediction model and nonlinear combination by Jiajun WANG, Wei CAO, Guilong ZHANG, Huaizhi ZHANG, Zixing LING, Xiaoqiang ZHAO

“…For the problem of strong randomness in space-time characteristics of wind speed in complex mountains，in order to improve the accuracy of wind speed data prediction, a neural network wind speed prediction algorithm based on multi prediction model and nonlinear combination was proposed.In the first layer of the algorithm, the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) and the dynamic convergence factor were used to improve the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), and the improved WOA was applied to the updating process of BPNN weights and bias items.At the same time, the improved whale optimiza-tion algorithm of back propagation neural network (IWOABP), ELM and LSTM three complementary single methods were constructed to build a combination prediction method, and on this basis, the ELM mixing mechanism of the second layer of the algorithm was utilized to learn the relationship between the first layer and the final result in a non-linear way.Simulation results show that compared with BPNN, WNN and GWOBP, the proposed algorithm has lower prediction errors.…”

Task scheduling algorithm for system-wide information management based on multiple QoS constraints by Gang LI, Zhijun WU

“…An ant colony optimization task scheduling algorithm based on multiple quality of service constraint (QoS-ACO) for SWIM was proposed.Focusing on the multiple quality of service (QoS) requirements for task requests completed in system-wide information management (SWIM),considering the task execution time,security and reliability factors,a new evaluate user satisfaction utility function and system task scheduling model were constructed.Using the QoS total utility evaluation function of SWIM service scheduling to update the pheromone of the ant colony algorithm.The simulation results show that under the same conditions,the QoS-ACO algorithm is better than the traditional Min-Min algorithm and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in terms of task completion time,security,reliability and quality of service total utility evaluation value,and it can ensure that the user's task scheduling quality of service requirements are met,and can better complete the scheduling tasks of the SWIM.…”
