An optimization based method which uses bisection search algorithm has been proposed to evaluate the accurate value of Data Retention Voltage (DRV) of a 6T Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell using 45 nm technology in the presence of process parameter variations. Further, we incorporate an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) block in our proposed methodology to optimize the simulation run time. The highest values obtained from these two methods are declared as the DRV. We noted an increase in DRV with temperature (T) and process variations (PVs). The main advantage of the proposed technique is to reduce the DRV evaluation time and for our case, we observe improvement in evaluation time of DRV by ≈46, ≈27, and ≈8 times at 25°C for 3 σ, 4 σ, and 5 σ variations, respectively, using ANN block to without using ANN block.

Cracks typically develop in concrete due to shrinkage, loading actions, and weather conditions; and may occur anytime in its life span. Autogenous healing concrete is a type of self-healing concrete that can automatically heal cracks based on physical or chemical reactions in concrete matrix. It is imperative to investigate the healing performance that autogenous healing concrete possesses, to assess the extent of the cracking and to predict the extent of healing. In the research of self-healing concrete, testing the healing performance of concrete in a laboratory is costly, and a mass of instances may be needed to explore reliable concrete design. This study is thus the world’s first to establish six types of machine learning algorithms, which are capable of predicting the healing performance (HP) of self-healing concrete. These algorithms involve an artificial neural network (ANN), a k-nearest neighbours (kNN), a gradient boosting regression (GBR), a decision tree regression (DTR), a support vector regression (SVR) and a random forest (RF). Parameters of these algorithms are tuned utilising grid search algorithm (GSA) and genetic algorithm (GA). The prediction performance indicated by coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) measures of these algorithms are evaluated on the basis of 1417 data sets from the open literature. The results show that GSA-GBR performs higher prediction performance (R2GSA-GBR = 0.958) and stronger robustness (RMSEGSA-GBR = 0.202) than the other five types of algorithms employed to predict the healing performance of autogenous healing concrete. Therefore, reliable prediction accuracy of the healing performance and efficient assistance on the design of autogenous healing concrete can be achieved.

The present day electronic gadgets have semiconductor memory devices to store data. The static random access memory (SRAM) is a volatile memory, often preferred over dynamic random access memory (DRAM) due to higher speed and lower power dissipation. However, at scaling down of technology node, the leakage current in SRAM often increases and degrades its performance. To address this, the voltage scaling is preferred which subsequently affects the stability and delay of SRAM. This paper therefore presents a negative bit-line (NBL) write assist circuit which is used for enhancing the write ability while a separate (isolated) read buffer circuit is used for improving the read stability. In addition to this, the proposed design uses a tail (stack) transistor to decrease the overall static power dissipation and also to maintain the hold stability. The comparison of the proposed design has been done with state-of-the-art work in terms of write static noise margin (WSNM), write delay, read static noise margin (RSNM) and other parameters. It has been observed that there is an improvement of 48%, 11%, 19% and 32.4% in WSNM while reduction of 33%, 39%, 48% and 22% in write delay as compared to the conventional 6T SRAM cell, NBL, [Formula: see text] collapse and 9T UV SRAM, respectively.

<p>This paper solves an optimal reactive power scheduling problem in the deregulated power system using the evolutionary based Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA). Reactive power scheduling is a very important problem in the power system operation, which is a nonlinear and mixed integer programming problem. It optimizes a specific objective function while satisfying all the equality and inequality constraints. In this paper, CSA is used to determine the optimal settings of control variables such as generator voltages, transformer tap positions and the amount of reactive compensation required to optimize the certain objective functions. The CSA algorithm has been developed from the inspiration that the obligate brood parasitism of some Cuckoo species lay their eggs in nests of other host birds which are of other species. The performance of CSA for solving the proposed optimal reactive power scheduling problem is examined on standard Ward Hale 6 bus, IEEE 30 bus, 57 bus, 118 bus and 300 bus test systems. The simulation results show that the proposed approach is more suitable, effective and efficient compared to other optimization techniques presented in the literature.</p>


In present trends organizations are very much interested to protect data and prevent malware attack by using well flourished and excellent tools. Many algorithms are used for the intrusion detection system (IDS) and it has pros and cons. Here we proposed a novel method of intrusion detection using hybrid optimization techniques such as Gravity search algorithm with gray wolf optimization (GSGW). In this method the gray wolf technique has a leader for the continuous monitoring of the attacker and has a low false alarm rate and a high detection rate. The performance evaluation is done by the feature selection in NSL-KDD dataset. In the proposed method the experimental result reveals less false alarm rate, better accuracy and high Detection when compared to previous analysis.

One of the main difficult tasks in the field of micro-robotics is the process of the selection of the optimal parameters for the PID controllers. Some methods existed to solve this task and the common method used was the Ziegler and Nichols. The former method require an accurate mathematical model. This method is beneficial in linear systems, however, if the system becomes more complex or non-linear the method cannot produce accurate values to the parameters of the system. A solution proposed for this problem recently is the application of optimization techniques. There are various optimization techniques can be used to solve various optimization problems. In this paper, several optimization methods are applied to compute the optimal parameter of PID controllers. These methods are flower pollination algorithm (FPA), grey wolf optimization (GWO), sin cosine algorithm (SCA), slime mould algorithm (SMA), and sparrow search algorithm (SSA). The fitness function applied in the former optimization techniques is the integral square Time multiplied square Error (ISTES) as the performance index measure. The fitness function provides minimal rise time, minimal settling time, fast response, and no overshoot, Steady state error equal to zero, a very low transient response and a non-oscillating steady state response with excellent stabilization. The effectiveness of the proposed SSA-based controller was verified by comparisons made with FPA, GWO, SCA, SMA controllers in terms of time and frequency response. Each control technique will be applied to the identified model (simulation results) using MATLAB Simulink and the laboratory setup (experimental results) using LABVIEW software. Finally, the SSA showed the highest performance in time and frequency responses.

The process of tuning the PID controller’s parameters is considered to be a difficult task. Several approaches were developed in the past known as conventional methods. One of these methods is the Ziegler and Nichols that relies on accurate mathematical model of the linear system, but if the system is complex the former method fails to compute the parameters of PID controller. To overcome this problem, recently there exist several techniques based on artificial intelligence such as optimization techniques. The optimization techniques does not require any mathematical model and they are considered to be easy to implement on any system even if it complex, can reach optimal solutions on the parameters. In this study, a new approach to control the position of the micro-robotics system proportional - integral - derivative (PID) controller is designed and a recently developed algorithm based on optimization is known as the sparrow search algorithm (SSA). By using the sparrow search algorithm (SSA), the optimal PID controller parameters were obtained by minimizing a new objective function, which consists of the integral square Time multiplied square Error (ISTES) performance index. The effectiveness of the proposed SSA-based controller was verified by comparisons made with the Sine Cosine algorithm (SCA), and Flower pollination algorithm (FPA) controllers in terms of time and frequency response. Each control technique will be applied to the identified model (simulation results) using MATLAB Simulink and the laboratory setup (experimental results) using LABVIEW software. Finally, the SSA showed the highest performance in time and frequency responses.

The growing importance of electric distribution systems justifies new investments in their expansion and evolution. It is well known in the literature that optimization techniques can provide better allocation of the financial resources available for such a task, reducing total installation costs and power losses. In this work, the NSGA-II algorithm is used for obtaining a set of efficient solutions with regard to three objective functions, that is cost, reliability, and robustness. Initially, a most likely load scenario is considered for simulation. Next, the performances of the solutions achieved by the NSGA-II are evaluated under different load scenarios, which are generated by means of Monte Carlo Simulations. A Multi-objective Sensitivity Analysis is performed for selecting the most robust solutions. Finally, those solutions are submitted to a local search algorithm to estimate a Pareto set composed of just robust solutions only.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of each factor on the weight loss of postharvest broccoli and treatment efficacy, and also attempted to fix the optimal condition for vacuum cooling treatment on postharvest broccoli by response surface methodology combined with tabu search techniques. Fresh broccoli samples were harvested from a Chinese farm and the green heads of selected samples were cut into smaller ones with approximately 3~4 cmdiameter, and sequentially equilibrated to room temperature. Pressure (200-600 Pa), broccoli weight (200-500 g), water volume (2-6 %, v v-1) and time (20-40 min) were used as factors and weight loss, final temperature and cost as responses. A tabu search algorithm was developed to find the optimum condition for processing broccoli and its initial condition were from response surface methodology. Results demonstrates a good adjust of tabu search algorithm in simulation of the broccoli freezing process. From tabu list the best condition were found as follows: the broccoli weight between 273.5 and 278.0 g with a water volume of 3.0%, processed for 40.0 min and at 200 Pa, where the weight loss was 0.34 ± 0.01%, of end temperature was 2.0 ± 0.0°C and profit percent was 99.66 ± 0.01%.
