A quasi affine transformation evolution algorithm with evolution matrix selection operation for parameter estimation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells by Mohammad Aljaidi, Pradeep Jangir, Sunilkumar P. Agrawal, Sundaram B. Pandya, Anil Parmar, Samar Hussni Anbarkhan, Laith Abualigah

“…Abstract Electrochemical energy conversion technologies include proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) where proton interchange is an alternative to diesel distributed generation, and PEMFCs are considered as a promising backup power source and a tool to regulate power consumption. Some of the major benefits of these PEMFCs especially in power system applications include low emission of carbon, fast load following capability, no noise and high start-up reliability. …”

DECISION TREE WITH HILL CLIMBING ALGORITHM BASED SPECTRUM HOLE DETECTION IN COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORK by N Suganthi, R Meenakshi, A Sairam, M Parvathi

“…The approach integrates a Decision Tree (DT) algorithm for rapid initial classification of Primary User (PU) activity, followed by a Hill Climbing (HC) optimization algorithm that fine-tunes the detection based on a fitness function. Entropy and throughput metrics are employed as decision conditions at each sensing channel, enhancing uncertainty measurement and maintaining detection robustness under low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) conditions. …”

YOLOv8n-DDSW: an efficient fish target detection network for dense underwater scenes by Jinwang Yi, Wei Han, Fangfei Lai

“…Therefore, the YOLOv8n-DDSW fish target detection algorithm was proposed in this article to resolve the detection difficulties resulting from fish occlusion, deformation and detail loss in complex intensive aquaculture scenarios. (1) The C2f-deformable convolutional network (DCN) module is proposed to take the place of the C2f module in the YOLOv8n backbone to raise the detection accuracy of irregular fish targets. (2) The dual-pooling squeeze-and-excitation (DPSE) attention mechanism is put forward and integrated into the YOLOv8n neck network to reinforce the features of the visible parts of the occluded fish target. (3) Small detection is introduced to make the network more capable of sensing small targets and improving recall. (4) Wise intersection over union (IOU) rather than the original loss function is used for improving the bounding box regression performance of the network. …”
