In optimizations the dimension of the problem may severely, sometimes exponentially increase optimization time. Parametric function approximatiors (FAPPs) have been suggested to overcome this problem. Here, a novel FAPP, cost component analysis (CCA) is described. In CCA, the search space is resampled according to the Boltzmann distribution generated by the energy landscape. That is, CCA converts the optimization problem to density estimation. Structure of the induced density is searched by independent component analysis (ICA). The advantage of CCA is that each independent ICA component can be

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents a concise review of objective function formulations employed for optimizing the sizing of powertrain components in electric and hybrid electric powertrains, within the scope of the EU-funded Horizon Europe ESCALATE project. The objective is to analyze the techniques used to achieve improved performance and efficiency for powertrains. Efficient utilization of available energy sources, improved range, reduced GHG emissions, and overall system performance are crucial goals. Objective function formulations serve as essential tools for achieving these objectives. A broad spectrum of optimization techniques is employed in the objective function formulations for electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs/HEVs). These include multiple objective functions which simultaneously optimize conflicting/complementary goals, allowing for trade-offs and Pareto-optimal solutions. The review explores the key parameters considered during the optimization process, with a focus on the sizing of electric powertrain components. The goal is to identify the optimal combination of these variables to achieve an optimal powertrain design that maximizes energy efficiency while minimizing cost and environmental impact. Furthermore, the review delves into the challenges and prospects of objective function formulations in the context of electric and hybrid electric powertrains, including the potential to focus on sustainability of designs which has not previously been researched.

Abstract:
AbstractThe DataBio’s agriculture pilots were carried out through a multi-actor whole-farm management approach using information technology, satellite positioning and remote sensing data as well as Internet of Things technology. The goal was to optimize the returns on inputs while reducing environmental impacts and streamlining the CAP monitoring. Novel knowledge was delivered for a more sustainable agriculture in line with the FAO call to achieve global food security and eliminate malnutrition for the more than nine billion people by 2050. The findings from the pilots shed light on the potential of digital agriculture to solve Europe’s concern of the declining workforce in the farming industry as the implemented technologies would help run farms with less workforce and manual labor. The pilot applications of big data technologies included autonomous machinery, mapping of yield, variable rate of applying agricultural inputs, input optimization, crop performance and in-season yields prediction as well as the genomic prediction and selection method allowing to cut cost and duration of cultivar development. The pilots showed their potential to transform agriculture, and the improved predictive analytics is expected to play a fundamental role in the production environment. As AI models are retrained with more data, the decision support systems become more accurate and serve the farmer better, leading to faster adoption. Adoption is further stimulated by cooperation between farmers to share investment costs and technological platforms allowing farmers to benchmark among themselves and across cropping season.

Machine learning (ML) optimization techniques serve as essential for training models to achieve high performance in a diverse areas. This chapter offers a thorough summary of machine learning optimization techniques. This chapter analysis the development of optimization techniques over time. A number of common optimization constraints are also discussed. Developing a model that works effectively and provides accurate predictions in a certain set of instances is the main objective of ML. We require ML optimization to accomplish that. The practice of modifying hyper parameters with an optimization technique to minimize the cost function is called ML optimization. Because the cost function indicates the difference between the actual value of the estimated parameter and the value predicted by the model, it is crucial to reduce it. This chapter will provide a general explanation of the workings and drawbacks of the ML optimization strategies. Numerous advancements in machine learning optimization techniques have been put forth in this chapter.

Abstract:
In a vehicle routing problem (VRP) with time windows, the start of service needs to take place within the customer time window. Due to uncertainty on travel times, vehicles might arrive late at a customer's site. A VRP is mostly solved to minimize a total cost criterion (travel time, travel distance, fixed and variable vehicle costs). But the dispatcher might also take into consideration the risk of non-conformance with the service agreement to start service within the time window. Therefore, a measure of risk, called “vulnerability of a solution,” is developed to serve as a second criterion. This chapter develops such a measure based on a distance metric and investigates its strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract:
For successful industrial scale-up and effective cost analysis of transesterification process, presentation of complimentary research data from process optimization using statistical design techniques, chemical kinetics and thermodynamics are essential. Full factorial central composite design (FFCCD) was applied for the statistical optimization of base methanolysis of sea almond (Terminalia catappa) seed oil using response surface methodology (RSM) coupled with desirability function analysis on quadratic model. Reaction time had the most significant impact on the biodiesel yield. Optimum conditions for biodiesel yield of 93.09 wt% validated at 92.58 wt% were 50.03°C, 2.04 wt% catalyst concentration, 58.5 min and 4.66 methanol/oil molar ratio with overall desirability of 1.00. Ascertained fuel properties of the FAME were in compliance with international limits. GC–MS, FTIR and NMR characterizations confirmed unsaturation and good cold-flow qualities of the biodiesel. Based on power rate law, second-order kinetic model out-performed first-order kinetic model. Rate constants of the triglyceride (TG), diglycerides (DG) and monoglycerides (MG) hydrolysis were in the range of 0.00838–0.0409 wt%/min while activation energies were 12.76, 15.83 and 22.43 kcal/mol respectively. TG hydrolysis to DG was the rate determining step. The optimal conditions have minimal error and would serve as a springboard for industrial scale-up of biodiesel production from T. catappa seed oil.

Abstract:
Hybrid solar-wind energy systems have emerged as a transformative solution for decentralized power generation, offering enhanced energy reliability, sustainability, and efficiency. These systems leverage the complementary nature of solar and wind resources to mitigate intermittency issues and optimize power generation in diverse environmental conditions. However, several technical, economic, and operational challenges hinder their widespread adoption, including system design complexities, energy storage limitations, and maintenance requirements. Advanced control strategies, predictive maintenance techniques, and smart grid integration play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of hybrid energy systems. Decentralized energy management frameworks are essential for enhancing energy accessibility in rural and off-grid regions, fostering energy independence and resilience. Recent advancements in long-duration energy storage technologies, artificial intelligence-driven predictive analytics, and blockchain-enabled peer-to-peer energy trading have further revolutionized hybrid energy systems, improving their efficiency and economic viability. This book chapter explores the fundamentals, system optimization techniques, and cost-benefit analysis of hybrid solar-wind energy systems while addressing key reliability concerns and emerging technological trends. The discussion provides insights into innovative strategies for reducing system downtime, improving energy storage efficiency, and enhancing integration with smart grids for decentralized power generation. The findings presented in this chapter serve as a comprehensive reference for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals aiming to advance the development and deployment of hybrid renewable energy solutions.

Abstract:
Fucoidans exhibit various biological activities, including immunomodulation, anti-cancer, and pathogenic inhibition. This approach can be used to isolate numerous natural resources and various applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Fucoidan surrounds sulfated L-fucose as a vital monosaccharide and small amounts of mannose, galactose, glucose, xylose, arabinose, uronic acid, and glucuronic acid. Structural analysis revealed that purified fucoidan consists of a carbohydrate chain composed mainly of (1→3)-linked or (1→4)-linked Lfucose residues, with sulfate groups at C-2 and C-4 positions. Fucose residues at C-3 or C-4 serve as branch sites for galactose residues with 1–4)-linkages. Low molecular weight fucoidan, medium molecular weight fucoidan, and high molecular weight fucoidan are the three different types of fucoidan based on molecular weights. The structure of fucoidan determines its bioactivity and its economic and commercial value depending on the species, geographical location, and harvest season. Therefore, shortened phases, low temperatures, and low acidity are used in the extraction technique to determine the distinct structures of fucoidans. In industrial manufacturing, the extraction techniques must be environmentally friendly and cost-effective. In this chapter, classical extraction and purification procedures such as hot water, acidic or alkaline extractions, and chromatographic techniques are discussed and detailed. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE) are innovative techniques for fucoidan extraction. Optimization strategies for pH, temperature, pretreatment conditions, extraction time, and yield parameters also discussed in detail.

Abstract:
Evolutionary algorithms are well known as optimization techniques, suitable for solving various kinds of problems (Ruano, 2005). The new application of evolutionary algorithms represents their use in the detection of biased control loop functions caused by controlled variable sensor discredibility (Klimanek, Sulc, 2005). Sensor discredibility occurs when a sensor transmitting values of the controlled variable provides inexact information, however the information is not absolutely faulty yet. The use of discredible sensors in control circuits may cause the real values of controlled variables to exceed the range of tolerated differences, whereas zero control error is being displayed. However, this is not the only negative consequence. Sometimes, sensor discredibility is accompanied with undesirable and hardly recognizable side effects. Most typical is an increase of harmful emission production in the case of combustion control, (Sulc, Klimanek, 2005). We have found that evolutionary algorithms are useful tools for solving the particular problem of finding a software-based way (so called software redundancy) of sensor discredibility detection. Software redundancy is a more economical way than the usual hardware redundancy, which is otherwise necessary in control loop protection against this small, invisible control error occurrence. New results from a long-term tracking residuum trends show that credibility loss can be forecasted. Operators can be warned in advance that the sensor measuring the controlled variable needs to be exchanged. This need can be effectively reflected in maintenance plans. Namely, the standard genetic algorithm and the simulated annealing algorithm have been successfully applied and tested to minimize the given cost function. By means of these algorithms, a newly developed method is able to detect controlled variable sensor discredibility. When applied to combustion processes, production of harmful emissions can be kept within accepted limits. The application of the used evolutionary algorithms inclusive terminology transfer in this application area can serve as an explanatory case study to help readers gain a better understanding of the how the evolutionary algorithms operate.

Abstract:
In this paper a step-by-step procedure for carrying out synthesis of geometric tolerances of a planetary gearbox using a deviation-based tolerance synthesis (TS) scheme has been presented. The TS scheme uses an optimization for minimizing total cost of manufacturing, subject to constraints for assemblability of parts and constraints for functional requirements. The TS work is carried out in several stages. First the gearbox with its nominal dimensions is converted into a model that could serve as input to the synthesis module. Cost functions and constraints equations are then generated using d

Abstract:
The high reliability performance of a subsea surveillance system, from subsurface to riser, is of the utmost importance for maximizing production availability. In designing such a surveillance system, there are a multitude of considerations that need to be addressed. These have traditionally focused on safe and cost effective production control system availability. However, they are now being extended to also address enablers for secondary recovery, production optimization, and increased recovery activities. This paper addresses the idea that latest-generation surveillance systems must operate

Abstract:
The optimization of facility location decisions is critical for the success of a supply chain in a market since it can contribute to long-term performance of the supply chain. In the last two decades, the number of research in this field has been growing to address more realistic problems such as incorporating uncertainties in repair time and demand. In this paper, a particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is employed to locate repair shops in a stochastic environment. The problem aim is to decide about the location and the capacity of local repair shops as well as identifying the capacity

Abstract:
Abstract In the context of conceptualization and operation of refineries, achieving an optimal configuration emerges as a critical endeavor. Our proposed methodology transcends conventional approaches by seamlessly integrating domain expertise, empirical insights, and cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI). Our approach holistically captures the intricate linkages between different refinery process facilities (also referred as process units or modules in later part of this paper) to make their best use in ever changing market conditions. Key aspects include robust predictive modeling for in

Abstract:
Millions of dollars are involved in high-speed rail (HSR) infrastructure construction and maintenance. Large-scale projects like HSR require funding from a variety of avenues beyond those available through public monies. Although HSR serves the general public’s mobility needs, any funds (whether State or Federal) flowing from the public exchequer usually undergo strict review and scrutiny. Funds from public agencies are always limited, making such traditional financing mechanisms unsustainable for fulfilling HSR’s long-term operational and maintenance cost needs—on top of initial costs involve

Abstract:
The overall theme of this project was to increase the speed of analysis for monitoring pesticide residues in food. Traditionally, analytical methods for multiple pesticides are time-consuming, expensive, laborious, wasteful, and ineffective to meet critical needs related to food safety. Faster and better methods were needed to provide more cost-effective detection of chemical contaminants, and thus provide a variety of benefits to agriculture. This overarching goal to speed and improve pesticide analysis was successfully accomplished even beyond what was originally proposed by the investigator
