Stimuli from the road surface cause car vibrations. The suspension system ensures the vehicle’s stability and smoothness when moving. In this research, the author introduces the use of active suspension with a hydraulic actuator to improve the comfort of cars. Car oscillations are described based on a quarter-dynamics model with five state variables. Besides, the nonlinear system’s SM (sliding mode) control algorithm is used to control the system. The SM algorithm’s parameters are optimally selected using the multiple loop algorithm. The multiple loop algorithm allows the values to vary within a predefined limit and provides an optimal parameter based on the vehicle’s vibration conditions. This is a new point in the paper compared to previous studies. The output of the simulation problem includes displacements and accelerations of both the sprung and unsprung masses. In addition, the change of dynamics force at the wheel is also considered when evaluating the interaction between the wheel and the road surface. According to the paper’s results, the vehicle body’s acceleration and displacement values are strongly reduced when using the SM algorithm, compared with cars with only traditional suspension. In addition, the change in dynamics force at the wheel is not significant when using this algorithm. As a result, the car’s smoothness has been improved while the vehicle’s stability has not been lost. The phenomenon of “chattering” still occurs in some cases; however, its effect is negligible.

The diffusion-improved ant colony optimization (DIACO) algorithm, as introduced in this paper, addresses the slow convergence speed and poor stability of the ant colony optimization (ACO) in obstacle avoidance path planning for quadruped robots. DIACO employs a nonuniformly distributed initial pheromone, which reduces the blind search time in the early stage. The algorithm updates the heuristic information in the transition probability, which allows ants to better utilize the information from the previous iteration during their path search. Simultaneously, DIACO adjusts the pheromone concentration left by ants on the path based on the map information and diffuses the pheromone within a specific range following the artificial potential field algorithm. In the global pheromone update, DIACO adjusts the pheromone on both the optimal path and the worst path generated by the current iteration, thereby enhancing the probability of ants finding the optimal path in the subsequent iteration. This paper designs a steering gait based on the tort gait to fulfill the obstacle avoidance task of a quadruped robot. The effectiveness of the DIACO algorithm and steering gait is validated through a simulation environment with obstacles constructed in Adams. The simulation results reveal that DIACO demonstrates improved convergence speed and stability compared to ACO, and the quadruped robot effectively completes the obstacle avoidance task using the path planning provided by DIACO in combination with the steering gait.

Optimal graph embeddings represent graphs in a lower dimensional space in a way that preserves the structure and properties of the original graph. These techniques have wide applications in fields such as machine learning, data mining, and network analysis. Do we have small (if possible minimal) k -connected graphs with the property that for any j vertices there is a longest path avoiding all of them? This question of Zamfirescu (1972) was the first variant of Gallai’s question (1966): Do all longest paths in a connected graph share a common vertex? Several good examples answering Zamfirescu’s question are known. In 2001, he asked to investigate the family of geometrical lattices with respect to this property. In 2017, Chang and Yuan proved the existence of such graphs in Archimedean tiling. Here, we prove that the graphs presented by Chang and Yuan are not optimal by constructing such graphs of sufficiently smaller orders. The problem of finding nonconcurrent longest paths in Archimedean tessellations refers to finding paths in a lattice such that the paths do not overlap or intersect with each other and are as long as possible. The complexity of embedding graph is still unknown. This problem can be challenging because it requires finding paths that are both long and do not intersect, which can be difficult due to the constraints of the lattice structure.

Evaluating scientific articles has always been a challenging task, made even more difficult by the constantly evolving citation networks. Despite numerous attempts at solving this problem, most existing approaches fail to consider the link relationships within the citation network, which can often result in biased evaluation results. To overcome this limitation, we present an optimization ranking algorithm that leverages the P-Rank algorithm and weighted citation networks to provide a more accurate article ranking. The proposed approach employs two hyperbolic tangent functions to calculate the corresponding age of articles and the number of citations, while also updating the link relationships of each paper node in the citation network. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach using three evaluation indicators and conduct experiments on three public datasets. The obtained experimental results demonstrate that the optimization article ranking method can achieve competitive performance when compared to other unweighted ranking algorithms. In addition, we note that the optimal Spearman’s rank correlation and robustness can all be achieved by using a combination of the following parameters: α = 10 , β = 5 , and γ = 2 .

The influence of COVID-19 on individuals, businesses, and corporations is indisputable. Many markets, particularly financial markets, have been severely shaken and have suffered significant losses. Significant issues have arisen in supply chain networks, particularly in terms of financing. The COVID-19 consequences had a significant effect on supply chain financing (SCF), which is responsible for finance supply chain components and improved supply chain performance. The primary source of supply chain financing is financial providers. Among financial providers, the banking sector is referred to as the primary source of financing. Any hiccup in the banking operational systems can have a massive influence on the financing process. In this study, we attempted to comprehend the key consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic and how to mitigate COVID-19’s impact on Pakistan’s banking industry. For this, three extended hybrid approaches which consists of TOPSIS, VIKOR, and Grey are established to address the uncertainty in supply chain finance under q-rung orthopair probabilistic hesitant fuzzy environment with unknown weight information of decision-making experts as well as the criteria. The study is split into three parts. First, the novel q-rung orthopair probabilistic hesitant fuzzy (qROPHF) entropy measure is established using generalized distance measure under qROPHF information to determine the unknown weights information of the attributes. The second part consists of three decision-making techniques (TOPSIS, VIKOR, and GRA) in the form of algorithm to tackle the uncertain information under qROPHF settings. Last part consists of a real-life case study of supply chain finance in Pakistan to analyze the effects of emergency situation of COVID-19 on Pakistani banks. Therefore, to help the government, we chose the best alternative form list of consider five alternatives (investment, government support, propositions and brands, channels, and digital and markets segments) by using proposed algorithm that minimize the effect of COVID-19 on supply chain finance of Pakistani banks. The results indicate that the proposed techniques are applicable and effective to cope with ambiguous data in decision-making challenges.

The existing research studies on adaptive control frequently introduce many parameter estimations and lead to a complicated controller. This paper investigates the robust regulation issue for high-order system and plants to raise a new approach for adaptive control. Specifically, the considered system has odd system power, nontriangular form, and external disturbance. By introducing the transformations of a parameter estimation, the studied system is transformed into a new dynamic system. By employing fuzzy systems and some inequality skills, the appropriate bounds of nonlinear terms are established. Based on the adaptive method and homogeneous control, a recursive control design algorithm is provided to construct a new adaptive controller, which dominates those uncertain bounds and guarantees that the closed-loop system is semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SUUB). The constructed controller employs only one adaptive law and has a much simpler form. Simulation examples verify the validness of the presented method.

The leakage of the ship’s pipeline system will bring great risks to the engine equipment and seriously threaten the vitality of the ship. In this paper, the pipeline leakage detection and localization research are carried out based on the vibration signal generated by pipeline leakage. First, the finite element model of the pipeline is constructed to obtain the variation law of the vibration signal when the pipeline leaks are carried out. Second, the vibration signal is processed based on the variational mode decomposition (VMD) and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. The wavelet packet threshold noise reduction is conducted before signal decomposition to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Then, the denoised signal is decomposed by VMD. The effective component is identified by analyzing the correlation coefficient between the component and the denoised signal. The center frequency and energy of the effective component are used as feature vector to train the RBF neural network to identify and locate leakage. Finally, a pipeline leakage test platform is built under laboratory conditions. After processing the data samples collected from the test, the RBF neural network is trained to identify and locate leaks. The test sample identification results show that the leak identification and localization method based on VMD-RBF has a high accuracy.

The majority of people with disabilities in the world have impairments that affect their lower bodies. In most of these cases, it was found that the affected person’s upper body was in good health and capable of carrying out all activities; however, the spinal cord injury results in significant health challenges with body functions like urination, bowel movements, heart rate, and respiratory, cardiovascular, and sexual function, which require prompt medical treatment and mobility aids. This study presents the mechanical layout of a wheelchair that can switch between a sitting and a standing position. The center of gravity must be taken into account when creating an electric standing wheelchair. It is designed specifically for people with disabilities to lessen the need of outside assistance, allowing the disabled person to savour a sense of adoration. In the simulation, the electric standing wheelchair analysis is carried out by loading with a human weight of 40 and 100 kg, and the transformation angle is adjusted between 0 and 90 degrees to compare the center of gravity displacement. SolidWorks and ANSYS are used to design the prototype, assemble the product, and establish the safety factor bounds of the structure and capabilities as required. The research focuses to achieve control of speed deviation and acceleration using a fuzzy control technique. The Arduino oversees the operation of the drive system as a controller, and a linear actuator is utilized for standing and sitting positions. This method is affordable, easily constructed, and highly secure.

Underactuated mechanical systems offer complex dynamic behavior and poses control challenges, especially in the presence of uncertainties in the system. To cope with such systems, control mechanisms are required, which needs to be robust. In this research, an algorithm based on sliding mode control (SMC) is presented. The algorithm design offer a methodical way to handle underactuation, while the robustness properties of SMC suppresses the effect of norm bounded uncertainties and external disturbances. To proceed with the design, an underactuated system is converted into cascaded subsystems, a linear one and reduced-order nonlinear subsystem. The proposed SMC design is backed by rigorous mathematical presentation and based on Lyapunov theory, so that the global stabilization of overall system is ensured. Numerical simulations are performed, on the laboratory test bench underactuated systems (Inertial Wheel, Furuta Pendulum, TORA, and an Overhead Crane), to validate the efficacy of the proposed design. In addition, a novel sliding surface is presented for Inertial Wheel and Furuta Pendulum to achieve swingup control and global stabilization subjected to uncertainties.

The aim of this study is to examine the determinants of Egyptian trade in general and Egyptian rice trade in particular with 11 rice-importing partner countries (Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Jordan, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Belgium, and Romania). To reach the main goals of the study, the gravity model was used to figure out which factors had the most impact on Egypt’s exports and imports. Using annual data on Egypt’s foreign and agricultural trade during the period 2001–2020 and data on the period 2001–2016 of rice crops with the 11 trading partners, the study reached several important conclusions. Among these conclusions, the Egyptian GDP variable had a negative effect on the total value of Egyptian imports and agriculture by increasing the value of total exports, agricultural exports, and rice exports to Egypt. Egyptian imports, exports, and population growth were all hurt by the Egyptian population variable. The study also shows that a 1% increase in export prices leads to a 3.97% increase in shipments of Egyptian rice to partner countries. According to economic theory, higher transportation expenses reduce trade volumes for both exports and imports. The variable distance between capitals has a negative effect on Egyptian exports. The study was designed based on the results of the main investigation. Based on the main investigation, the study made several important recommendations, including the need to take several measures to deflect the pace of economic growth of both the Egyptian total and agricultural export variables and rice export value, focusing on countries with high monetary and real GDP and a close geographical distribution. Improve economic relations between Egypt and its trading partners and shift from import-export cooperation to strategic food security cooperation.
