Dynamic Gradient Descent and Reinforcement Learning for AI-Enhanced Indoor Building Environmental Simulation by Xiaolong Chen, Haohao Yang, Hongfeng Zhang, Cora Un In Wong

“…We propose a novel dynamic gradient descent (DGD) framework integrated with reinforcement learning (RL) for AI-enhanced indoor environmental simulation, addressing the limitations of static optimization in dynamic settings. The proposed method combines a hybrid optimizer—stochastic gradient descent with momentum and adaptive learning rates—with an RL-driven meta-controller to dynamically adjust hyperparameters in response to real-time environmental fluctuations. …”

The Two-Echelon Unmanned Ground Vehicle Routing Problem: Extreme-Weather Goods Distribution as a Case Study by Chuncheng Fang, Yanguang Cai, Yanlin Wu

“…We introduce a two-echelon unmanned ground vehicle routing problem (2E-UGVRP) and proposes a hybrid Artificial Bee Colony–Wild Horse Optimizer (HABC-WHO) algorithm to solve it. In this approach, the optimal solution obtained from the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm replaces the worst solution of the Wild Horse Optimizer. …”

Sustainable cement-based mortar with shredded material recycled from end-of-life wind turbine blades by Magdalena Rucka, Marzena Kurpińska

“…In contrast, the 0–2 mm SC fraction, used as a cement substitute, led to a 27.55% increase in porosity, a 6.60% reduction in density, a 44.64% decrease in toughness, and a 45.12% decrease in compressive strength, indicating the need for further optimization of this approach. These findings demonstrate the potential of SC from EoL WTBs as a sustainable additive in cementitious composites, particularly when used as aggregate replacement. …”

Evapotranspiration and water sensitivity of Amazonian yellow ipe seedlings under different shading conditions by Josiane F. Keffer, Cátia C. da Silva, Adilson P. de Souza, Andréa C. da Silva, Luana Bouvié, Thaíse K. R. Dias

“…ABSTRACT The scarcity of information on the agroclimatic and ecophysiological requirements of forest species, especially in the initial phase, limits the production of quality seedlings, the planning and optimization of nurseries. The potential evapotranspiration, crop coefficients (kc) and water sensitivity coefficients (ky) of Amazonian yellow ipe seedlings were determined under different shading conditions and levels of water replacement to the substrate, in the dry period (July to October 2016), in the Cerrado-Amazon Rainforest transition region of the Mato Grosso state, Brazil. …”
