A sensor is a tool used to directly measure the test compound (analyte) in a sample. Ideally,
such a device is capable of continuous and reversible response and should not damage the …

Widespread applications of O 2 and N 2 especially in the oil, gas, and petrochemical
industries have put air separation process into the center of attention among researchers …

The optimization field suffers from the metaphor-based “pseudo-novel” or “fancy” optimizers.
Most of these cliché methods mimic animals' searching trends and possess a small …

A recent set of overused population-based methods have been published in recent years.
Despite their popularity, most of them have uncertain, immature performance, partially done …

This research's genesis is in two aspects: first, a guaranteed solution for mitigating the grey
wolf optimizer's (GWO) defect and deficiencies. Second, we provide new open-minding …

The slime mould algorithm (SMA) is a logical swarm-based stochastic optimizer that is easy
to understand and has a strong optimization capability. However, the SMA is not suitable for …

Although the continuous version of ant colony optimizer (ACOR) has been successfully
applied to various problems, there is room to boost its stability and improve convergence …

Moth flame optimization (MFO) is a swarm-based algorithm with mediocre performance and
marginal originality proposed in recent years. It tried to simulate the fantasy navigation mode …

As a first attempt, Fourier series expansion (FSE), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and
genetic algorithm (GA) methods are coupled for analysis of the static–dynamic performance …

Existing research on cascading failures of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) fails to take into
account the role of the sink node on network load distribution, and rarely involves how to …
