Development of an AI-Enabled Q-Agent for Making Data Offloading Decisions in a Multi-RAT Wireless Network by Murk Marvi, Adnan Aijaz, Anam Qureshi, Muhammad Khurram

“…Since artificial intelligence (AI)-based techniques can learn optimal actions and adapt to different conditions, in this work, we develop an AI-enabled Q-agent for making data offloading decisions in a multi-RAT wireless network. We employ a model-free Q-learning algorithm for training of the Q-agent. …”

Research on Mechanical Model of Canal Lining Plates under the Effect of Frost Heaving Force by Yantao Liang, Fuping Zhang, Mingming Jing, Pengfei He

“…Compared with the theory of beam, the results of the theory of thin plates show that the internal forces and stresses increase at the free boundary (longitudinal expansion joint). The bending moment Mxy and stress τxy are maximum at the four corners of the plate: although the numerical magnitude is lower than that of Mx, it may cause stress concentration to damage the lining plate and thus cause break. …”
