This research paper studies a thermal power plant model with an Artificial Neural Network that contributes to the accuracy improvement of actual measurement data. Neural Networks process the paradigm of algebraic expressions, and their training occurs via a Feed-Forward Back Propagation algorithm implemented in a MATLAB environment. The applied training case in a thermal power plant in Paracha includes three different algorithms, the Levenberg-Marquadt, the Scaled Conjugate Gradient, and the Bayesian Regularization, considering less number of samples to achieve more reliable results. The outcome highlights Bayesian Regularization Networks’ superiority in accuracy and performance compared to Levenberg-Marquadt and the Scaled Conjugate Gradient. The regression analysis estimates the relationship between input-independent and output-dependent variables, forecasts the energetic data, and highlights the benefits of the Bayesian Regularization method in the energy sector.

In this study, a mathematical model of an automated control system for heat regulation in a building was developed. A method of mathematical modeling of the centralized heating control system based on mathematical models of distributed power systems and experimental studies has been developed, which allows for determining the parameters of the coolant when the outdoor temperature changes, qualitative regulation of heat in autonomous sources, quantitative regulation in automated individual heating devices, etc. The method makes it possible to study the interaction of an automated individual heating point to increase the efficiency of the management of distributed power systems of buildings. As a result of studying the controller created by the R2 control unit, for the PI controller, the calculated heat consumption of the building imperceptibly increases from 1.08502 kJ to 1.085888 kJ when an oscillatory transient occurs, and for the I controller, the calculated heat consumption of the building remains at the same level. The level, as for the PI controller, increases slightly during the oscillatory transition from 1.08456 GJ to 1.08535 GJ.

A study is conducted to obtain a deeper insight into the primary and subharmonic resonances of the swing equation. The primary resonance, which can result in increased oscillatory responses, voltage instability, and potential system collapse, happens when the external disturbance frequency coincides with the natural frequency of the system. Subharmonic resonance occurs when the disturbance frequency is an integer fraction of the natural frequency, leading to low-frequency oscillations and possible equipment damage. The purpose of this study is to provide an extension of the existing literature of the effects of primary resonance and further provide a thorough understanding of subharmonic resonance on the stability of a certain power system paradigm. Motivated by the rich nonlinear dynamical behaviour exhibited by this evergreen model, analytical and numerical techniques are employed to examine the underlying principles, creating an efficient control solution for this resonant-related problem. The main objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the primary and subharmonic resonances considering the dynamical and bifurcational behaviour of the underlying swing equation, whereby both analytical and numerical techniques are employed, allowing for an identification of certain precursors to chaos that may lead and cater for the safe operation of practical problems.

The aim of the research, we extended the one-dimensional to multi-dimensional, we applied the homotopy perturbation and analysis methods to solve Volterra integral equations and to obtain approximate analytical solutions of systems of the second kind multi-dimensional Volterra integral equations. We proved the convergence of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The HAM solutions contained an auxiliary parameter that provides a convenient way of controlling the convergence region of series solutions. It is shown that the solutions obtained by the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) are only special cases of the HAM solutions. Several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and implementation of the method. The results indicate that this method is efficient for the linear and non - linear models with the dissipative terms.

It is currently urgent to improve the technical characteristics and increase the efficiency of telecommunication networks because of the global problem of ensuring the reliable transmission, processing and protection of commercial information in telecommunication networks. The aim of this study is to assess the reliability indicators of telecommunication networks and analyse the level of their development. The aim was achieved through the methods that were used to assess the reliability of the entire network: the generalized method of analytical assessment of the telecommunication network reliability; connection-based metrics; scaling of telecommunication networks, and application of unified reliability indicators to routine control, operation and maintenance. As a result of the research, the indicators of telecommunication networks were studied with and without using connection-based metrics. As a result, the network metrics were also divided into distribution and generation/transmission reliability and telecommunication network metrics – into connection-, performance-, and condition-based metrics, which showed improvements in network performance and reliability. As a prospect for further research, studying and improving the telecommunication network reliability indicators is suggested.

The exploration of unknown environments can be beneficial for a variety of applications, such as inspection of industrial equipment, environmental monitoring, or search and rescue missions. In order to tackle this problem, swarm robotics has emerged as a promising approach due to its ability to leverage the collective behavior of a group of robots to explore an area efficiently. This paper proposes a swarmbased control algorithm for exploration and coverage of unknown environments. The algorithm utilizes shortrange distributed communication and sensing among agents, with no central unit, to coordinate the swarm’s navigation and search tasks. This sensing is prioritized in the outermost agents of the swarm to reduce processing and energy costs, and these positions can be rotated with other agents in the swarm. The formation rules that keep the system cohesive are simple and independent of the individual robot characteristics, enabling the use of heterogeneous agents. The performance of the proposed strategy is demonstrated through experiments in coverage and search tasks, and compared with other swarm strategies. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for exploration and coverage of unknown environments. The research presented in this paper has the potential to contribute to the development of more efficient and effective swarmbased exploration and coverage strategies.

Considerable amount of research effort has been concentrated on modelling and predicting the progress of coronavirus infection, its impacts, and the ramifications of various measures taken by affected nations, such as social distancing, vaccination, and provision of long-term health care. More recently, medical doctors have become aware of an unexpected coronavirus complication that can emerge in a short period of time after the initial COVID-19 infection, or sometimes several months afterward. NHS research confirmed that the risk of death is increased significantly in coronavirus patients with diabetes. Our main purpose is to obtain a better understanding of the impacts of physical exercise on the glucose-insulin dynamics in patients with diabetes-COVID-19 comorbidity. To control diabetes, it is important to keep track, with the aid of an appropriate model, of one’s blood sugar levels and to know what levels are too high after a meal, while physical activity can lower your blood sugar by making your body more sensitive to insulin. Here, we, therefore, propose and analyse a model of the glucose-insulin control system, comorbidity of coronavirus infection, that incorporates variations in blood sugar due to food intake as well as the role that exercising can take in keeping plasma glucose at a suitable level. The solutions of the model are shown to be bounded and persistent under suitable conditions on the system parameters. The stability and periodicity of the system are also investigated. The delineating conditions on pertinent physical parameters that allow us to obtain the desired outcome are interpreted and discussed.

The main control tool for traffic management in urban areas is traffic light settings. The goal is to decrease the queue lengths at intersections. Usually, the duration of the green light of the traffic light is used for control. The control approach is based on the so-called “store-and-forward” model. However, this model does not reflect the stochastic nature of traffic dynamics. This study presents a model with some probabilistic conditions approximating real traffic behavior. An additional contribution concerns the definition of a bi-level optimization model that simultaneously optimizes the green light and traffic light cycle duration of an urban network of four intersections. Three traffic management optimization problems are defined and solved. Their solutions are graphically illustrated and commented on. Bi-level optimization outperforms by giving lower values of queue lengths compared to classical and stochastic nonlinear optimization problems in the considered network.

Presented automated visual question-answer system generates graphics-based question-answer pairs. The system consists of the Visual Query Generation (VQG) and Visual Question Answer (VQA) modules. VQG generates questions based on visual cues, and VQA provides matching answers to the VQG modules. VQG system generates questions using LSTM and VGG19 model, training parameters, and predicting words with the highest probability for output. VQA uses VGG-19 convolutional neural network for image encoding, embedding, and multilayer perceptron for high-quality responses. The proposed system reduces the need for human annotation and thus supports the traditional education sector by significantly reducing the human intervention required to generate text queries. The system can be used in interactive interfaces to help young children learn.
