Trajectory Optimization of Manipulator based on Adaptive Transformation Bat Algorithm by Yongyan Sun, Wenyong Guo, Yunling Sun, Jinghang Wang

“…In order to improve the work efficiency of the manipulator while reducing the energy loss and impact， a trajectory optimization method based on the adaptive transformation bat algorithm （ATBA） is proposed. The trajectory model of the manipulator is established by using quintic polynomial interpolation; the ATBA is obtained by adding dynamic disturbance coefficients to the local search of the standard bat algorithm （BA）， and improving the conversion strategy of global search and local search at the same time. …”

TRAPPIST-1 d: Exo-Venus, Exo-Earth, or Exo-Dead? by M. J. Way

“…The latter has generally appeared to be within the habitable zone of most atmospheric modeling studies. Assuming that TRAPPIST-1 d still retains a substantial atmosphere, we demonstrate via a series of 3D general circulation model experiments using a dynamic ocean that the planet could reside within the habitable zone in a narrow parameter space. …”

Varying Collimation for Dark-Field Extraction by Ge Wang, Wenxiang Cong, Haiou Shen, Yu Zou

“…Although x-ray imaging is widely used in biomedical applications, biological soft tissues have small density changes, leading to low contrast resolution for attenuation-based x-ray imaging. Over the past years, x-ray small-angle scattering was studied as a new contrast mechanism to enhance subtle structural variation within the soft tissue. …”
