Optimization of Rate of Penetration and Mechanical Specific Energy Using Response Surface Methodology and Multi-Objective Optimization by Diunay Zuliani Mantegazini, Andreas Nascimento, Mauro Hugo Mathias, Oldrich Joel Romero Guzman, Matthias Reich

“…The results show that the RSM method and multi-objective optimization provide better results when compared with 2D analysis of parameters as a function of depth. The RSM method can be used as a tool to analyze the effects of the independent drilling mechanical parameters (WOB, RPM, FLOW, and TOR) on the response variables (ROP and MSE) with a 95% confidence level. …”

Five functional domains associated with gait performance in Parkinson’s disease and lateral trunk flexion by Keisuke Ota, Hiroki Mani, Keita Nochimura, Yuichi Nakashiro, Shinsuke Hamada, Fumio Moriwaka

“…The participants walked with a motion sensor on a straight 20 m path at a comfortable speed. Fifteen gait variables (10 gait cycles) were evaluated and categorized into pace, rhythm, asymmetry, variability, and postural control functional domains and were compared between groups.ResultsThe LTF angle, SVV angle; MDS-UPDRS-Part III total, rigidity, and axial scores; and the coefficients of variance for step length, step time, and stance time were significantly higher in the LTF group than in the No LTF group. …”

A new method for routing protocols using hybrid fuzzy clustering in UWSNs by Xiaoju Wang, Bin Meng, Xuexu Yuan, Junwei Zhao

“…Besides, the new scheme improved energy variance by 40% at nodes to prolong the network lifetime and maintain a higher throughput in conditions of variable network load. This fuzzy clustering technique stands apart because it tries to overcome UWSN-specific challenges using adaptive data aggregation along with multistep communication and hence is more resistant and energy-efficient compared to the conventional protocols.…”
