Abstract:
Purpose The claim that super intelligent machines constitute a major existential risk was recently defended in Nick Bostrom’s book Superintelligence and forms the basis of the sub-discipline AI risk. The purpose of this paper is to critically assess the philosophical assumptions that are of importance to the argument that AI could pose an existential risk and if so, the character of that risk. Design/methodology/approach This paper distinguishes between “intelligence” or the cognitive capacity of an individual and “techne”, a more general ability to solve problems using, for example, technological artifacts. While human intelligence has not changed much over historical time, human techne has improved considerably. Moreover, the fact that human techne has more variance across individuals than human intelligence suggests that if machine techne were to surpass human techne, the transition is likely going to be prolonged rather than explosive. Findings Some constraints for the intelligence explosion scenario are presented that imply that AI could be controlled by human organizations. Originality/value If true, this argument suggests that efforts should focus on devising strategies to control AI rather strategies that assume that such control is impossible.

Abstract:
The intelligence explosion hypothesis (for example, a technological singularity) is roughly the hypothesis that accelerating knowledge or technological growth radically changes humanity. While 20th-century figures are commonly credited as the first discoverers of the hypothesis, I assert that Nicolas de Condorcet, the 18th-century mathematician, is the earliest to (1) mathematically model an intelligence explosion, and (2) present an accelerating historical worldview, and (3) make intelligence explosion predictions that were restated centuries later. Condorcet provides insights on how ontology and social choice can help resolve value alignment.

Abstract:
Coal dust explosion constitutes a significant hazard in underground coal mines, coal power plants and other industries utilising coal as fuel. Knowledge of the explosion mechanism and the factors causing coal explosions is essential to investigate for the identification of the controlling factors for preventing coal dust explosions and improving safety conditions. However, the underlying mechanism involved in coal dust explosions is rarely studied under Artificial Intelligence (AI) based modelling. Coal from three different regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, was tested for explosibility in 1.2 L Hartmann apparatus under various particle sizes and dust concentrations. First, a random forest algorithm was used to model the relationship between inputs (coal dust particle size, coal concentration and gross calorific value (GCV)), outputs (maximum pressure (Pmax) and the deflagration index (Kst)). The model reported an R2 value of 0.75 and 0.89 for Pmax and Kst. To further understand the impact of each feature causing explosibility, the random forest AI model was further analysed for sensitivity analysis by SHAP (Shapley Additive exPlanations). The study revealed that the most critical parameter affecting the explosibility of coal dust were particle size > GCV > concentration for Pmax and GCV > Particle size > Concentration for Kst. Mutual interaction SHAP plots of two variables at a time revealed that with <200 gm/L concentration, −73 µm size and a high GCV coal was the most explosive at a high concentration (>400 gm/L), explosibility is relatively lower irrespective of GCV and particle sizes.

Abstract:
About half a billion years ago, life on earth experienced a short period of very rapid diversification called the “Cambrian Explosion.” Many theories have been proposed for the cause of the Cambrian Explosion, one of the most provocative being the evolution of vision, allowing animals to dramatically increase their ability to hunt and find mates. Today, technological developments on several fronts are fomenting a similar explosion in the diversification and applicability of robotics. Many of the base hardware technologies on which robots depend—particularly computing, data storage, and communications—have been improving at exponential growth rates. Two newly blossoming technologies—“Cloud Robotics” and “Deep Learning”—could leverage these base technologies in a virtuous cycle of explosive growth. I examine some key technologies contributing to the present excitement in the robotics field. As with other technological developments, there has been a significant uptick in concerns about the societal implication of robotics and artificial intelligence. Thus, I offer some thoughts about how robotics may affect the economy and some ways to address potential difficulties.

Abstract:
William Hertling’s A.I. Apocalypse(2012) is a post-apocalyptic novel about vulnerability of modern technological life against superintelligence. The novel shows living in an A.I-controlled society behind a revolution or revolt by self-controlling machines. A personified computer virus infects all the world’s computers. As a result, it leads to disruption in main factors of human life— billions of people are about to die. A novel in which, Hertling warns of dehumanization under the shadow of superintelligence to challenge our minds to ponder about such a future. This study attempts to demonstrate that Hertling criticizes singularity and intelligence explosion in which mankind are entrapped in A.I-controlled society. It also investigates probable bilateral relation between dehumanization and intelligence explosion.

Abstract:
This paper is about the evolution of hominin intelligence. I agree with defenders of the social intelligence hypothesis in thinking that externalist models of hominin intelligence are not plausible: such models cannot explain the unique cognition and cooperation explosion in our lineage, for changes in the external environment (e.g. increasing environmental unpredictability) affect many lineages. Both the social intelligence hypothesis and the social intelligence–ecological complexity hybrid I outline here are niche construction models. Hominin evolution is hominin response to selective environments that earlier hominins have made. In contrast to social intelligence models, I argue that hominins have both created and responded to a unique foraging mode; a mode that is both social in itself and which has further effects on hominin social environments. In contrast to some social intelligence models, on this view, hominin encounters with their ecological environments continue to have profound selective effects. However, though the ecological environment selects, it does not select on its own. Accidents and their consequences, differential success and failure, result from the combination of the ecological environment an agent faces and the social features that enhance some opportunities and suppress others and that exacerbate some dangers and lessen others. Individuals do not face the ecological filters on their environment alone, but with others, and with the technology, information and misinformation that their social world provides.

Full text
Abstract:
The blasting method is one of the best hard rock excavation methods in mining activities. This method has negative impacts, one of which is the vibrations generated by the residual energy of the explosion. This impact will affect the environment around the blasting area, both slope stability, tunnels, infrastructure, and human settlements if it is close to the blasting site. Therefore, it needs initial planning and prediction to anticipate the blasting vibration that occurs. In general, the blast vibration can be predicted using the scale distance method which uses two parameters, namely the maximum amount of explosive material per time delay and the distance of measurement from the location of the explosion. This method has been widely researched to produce several empirical equations from each explosion location studied. However, as technology develops, several studies have tried to use artificial intelligence technology, one of which is the artificial neural network algorithm as a new approach for predicting detonation vibrations. In this method, the development of the parameters used in predicting the weighting of the most influential parameters from the formation of detonation vibrations can be carried out. This study will review several studies related to the use of artificial neural networks in predicting blasting vibrations in the studies that have been carried out and also compare with prediction methods using several empirical equations.

Abstract:
Power tillers are very simple and versatile machines with large scale diffusion in developing countries, where they are commonly used both for agriculture and for transportation purposes. A new integrated participatory approach that makes use of and improves local end-users knowledge has been used to design a new robotic system for humanitarian demining applications in Sri Lanka, using power tiller as core module. A demining machine composed by a tractor unit, a ground processing tool and a vegetation cutting tool is here presented together with results obtained from the first blast test on the preliminary version of tractor unit armouring. Different breakable connections between wheels and axle have been designed to cause physical detachment and interrupt the transmission of the shock wave released by the explosion of a mine under one wheel. Effects of explosions on different types of wheels and on the chassis have been recorded and commented.

Abstract So far, artificial intelligence has gone through decades of development. Although artificial intelligence technology is not yet mature, it has already been applied in many walks of life. With the explosion of IoT technology in 2019, artificial intelligence has ushered in a new climax. It can be said that the development of IoT technology has led to the development of artificial intelligence once again. But the traditional deep learning model is very complex and redundant. The hardware environment of IoT can not afford the time and resources cost by the model which runs on the GPU originally, so model compression without decreasing accuracy rate so much is applicable in this situation. In this paper, we experimented with using two tricks for model compression: Pruning and Quantization. By utilizing these methods, we got a remarkable improvement in model simplification while retaining a relatively close accuracy.

Abstract:
Accurately and quickly identifying the types of natural and unnatural earthquake events is the basic premise of monitoring, prediction, early warning, and other study in the field of seismology, which is of great significance to the prevention, evaluation, emergency rescue, and other work of earthquake disasters. Convolutional neural network model is a representative artificial intelligence deep learning algorithm, which has been widely used in computer vision, natural language processing, object type identification, and other fields in recent years. In this study, AlexNet convolutional neural network model is selected to study the type identification of 1539 earthquake event waveform records in and around Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China. Earthquake event waveform records contain three types: natural earthquake, explosion, and collapse, in which both explosion and collapse are unnatural earthquakes. MATLAB software is used to build the training module and test module for AlexNet convolutional neural network model, and the earthquake event waveform record is transformed into an image format file of 224 times 224 pixels as input parameters. Finally, AlexNet convolutional neural network model has the ability of automatic identification of earthquake event types. The results of this study show that the identification accuracy of earthquake event type in training module is 99.97%, the average value of loss function is 0.001, the identification accuracy of earthquake event type in test set is 98.51%, and the average value of loss function is 0.059. After training and testing, 60 different types of earthquake event waveform records were randomly selected, and AlexNet convolutional neural network model was used to identify them automatically. The automatic identification accuracy of natural earthquakes, explosions, and collapses was 90%, 80%, and 85%, respectively. After training AlexNet convolutional neural network model with earthquake event waveform records, it can have accurate and fast automatic identification ability. The accuracy of automatic identification is comparable to that of professional seismic workers, and the time of automatic identification is greatly reduced compared with that of professional seismic workers. This study can provide an implementation idea of deep learning based on artificial intelligence for the identification of earthquake event types and make contributions to the cause of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction.

Abstract:
The past 5 years have seen an explosion of interest in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques in medicine. This has been driven by the development of deep neural networks (DNNs)—complex networks residing in silico but loosely modelled on the human brain—that can process complex input data such as a chest radiograph image and output a classification such as ‘normal’ or ‘abnormal’. DNNs are ‘trained’ using large banks of images or other input data that have been assigned the correct labels. DNNs have shown the potential to equal or even surpass the accuracy of human experts in pattern recognition tasks such as interpreting medical images or biosignals. Within respiratory medicine, the main applications of AI and machine learning thus far have been the interpretation of thoracic imaging, lung pathology slides and physiological data such as pulmonary function tests. This article surveys progress in this area over the past 5 years, as well as highlighting the current limitations of AI and machine learning and the potential for future developments.

Abstract:
As the explosion-proof safety level of coal mine robot has not yet reached the level of intrinsic safety “ia,” therefore, path planning methods for coal mine robot to avoid the dangerous area of gas are necessary. To avoid a secondary explosion when the coal mine robot passes through gas hazard zones, a path planning method is proposed, considering the gas concentration distributions. The path planning method is composed of two steps in total: the global path planning and the local path adjustment. First, the global working path for coal mine robot is planed based on the Dijkstra algorithm and the ant colony algorithm. Second, with consideration of the dynamic environment, when hazardous gas areas distribute over the planed working path again, local path adjustments are carried out with the help of a proposed local path adjustment method. Lastly, experiments are conducted in a roadway after accident, which verify the effectiveness of the proposed path planning method.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractCurrently, the development of medicines for complex diseases requires the development of combination drug therapies. It is necessary because in many cases, one drug cannot target all necessary points of intervention. For example, in cancer therapy, a physician often meets a patient having a genomic profile including more than five molecular aberrations. Drug combination therapy has been an area of interest for a while, for example the classical work of Loewe devoted to the synergism of drugs was published in 1928—and it is still used in calculations for optimal drug combinations. More recently, over the past several years, there has been an explosion in the available information related to the properties of drugs and the biomedical parameters of patients. For the drugs, hundreds of 2D and 3D molecular descriptors for medicines are now available, while for patients, large data sets related to genetic/proteomic and metabolomics profiles of the patients are now available, as well as the more traditional data relating to the histology, history of treatments, pretreatment state of the organism, etc. Moreover, during disease progression, the genetic profile can change. Thus, the ability to optimize drug combinations for each patient is rapidly moving beyond the comprehension and capabilities of an individual physician. This is the reason, that biomedical informatics methods have been developed and one of the more promising directions in this field is the application of artificial intelligence (AI). In this review, we discuss several AI methods that have been successfully implemented in several instances of combination drug therapy from HIV, hypertension, infectious diseases to cancer. The data clearly show that the combination of rule-based expert systems with machine learning algorithms may be promising direction in this field.

Abstract:
After the first initiation, the Fuel Air Explosive (FAE) cloud formed through fuel explosion dispersal and it will generate tremendous damaging power after being detonated the second time. As the damaging power is closely related to the determination of reinitiation time, it is of great significance to study the growth principle of FAE cloud by means of analyzing FAE cloud images. Combining with background subtraction and region growing, an improved region growing image processing method was proposed, in which the seeds of region growing abstracted through background subtraction method and the growing criterion was modified. With this method, the integrate area of cloud can be obtained for extracting geometric parameters. Experiments were carried out on both cloudy and sunny days, and image overlap score was used to quantitatively evaluate the accuracy of images segmentation. The result indicated that this image processing method has advantages of high precision and robustness. In addition, the computation burden is reduced significantly compared with traditional region growing method.

Abstract:
As a comparatively new algorithm of swarm intelligence, the dynamic search fireworks algorithm (dynFWA) imitates the explosion procedure of fireworks. With the goal of achieving global optimization and further boosting performance of dynFWA, adaptive parameters are added in this present study, called dynamic search fireworks algorithm with adaptive parameters (dynFWAAP). In this novel dynFWAAP, a self-adaptive method is used to tune the amplification coefficient Ca and the reduction coefficient Cr for fast convergence. To balance exploration and exploitation, the coefficient of amplitude α and the coefficient of sparks β are also adapted, and a new selection operator is proposed. Evaluated on twelve benchmark functions, it is evident from the experimental results that the dynFWAAP significantly outperformed the three variants of fireworks algorithms (FWA) based on solution accuracy and performed best in other four algorithms of swarm intelligence in terms of time cost and solution accuracy.

Full text
Abstract:
Starting from an achromatic display used by Zavagno to study a glare and a ‘smoke’ effect, we show two new dynamic effects that we call (a) ‘light explosion’ and (b) ‘night crash’. On a uniform white or black background four black or white rectangles (inducers, 1 deg × 5.7 deg) were arranged to form an orthogonal cross with a square gap in its centre. (a) When the luminance of black inducers on a white background is transformed into a smooth gray scale gradient with the lighter ends facing the square gap, a luminous mist with a glare effect is seen. When such a transformation is performed dynamically by changing the gradient from outside to inside (with the outside ends remaining black and the inside changing toward white), a sudden explosion of light is seen. (b) When the luminance of white inducers on a black background is transformed into a smooth gray scale gradient with their darker ends facing the square gap, a sort of dark ‘smoke’ is seen. If such a transformation is performed dynamically by changing the gradient from inside to outside (with the outside ends remaining white and the inside changing toward black), a sudden and instantaneous black diffusion (a sort of night crash) is seen. Both the light explosion and the night crash effects have an exponential course followed by an immediate drop. Psychophysical data show that both effects depend on an interaction between the lightness of the background, the lightness of the square gap, and the transformation rate of the gray scale gradient.

Abstract:
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with high definition (HD) cameras can obtain a large number of detailed inspection images. The insulator is an indispensable component in the transmission lines. Detecting insulator in image video quickly and accurately can provide a reliable basis for the ranging and the obstacle avoidance flight of UAV close to the tower and transmission line. At the same time, the insulator is a serious threat to the safety of the power grid due to the multiple faults of the insulator, and the computer technology should be fully utilized to diagnose the fault. Detection of the insulator images with the complex aerial background is implemented by constructing a convolutional neural network (CNN), which has the classic architecture of five modules of convolution and pooling, two modules of fully connected layers. In this paper, we propose a recognition algorithm for explosion fault based on saliency detection, which uses the trained network model to extract the features. Then, we put the saliency maps into a self-organizing feature map (SOM) network and build the mathematical module via super pixel segmentation, contour detection and other image processing methods. The test shows that the algorithm can reduce the error that may be caused by manual analysis. It also demonstrates that the detection of the insulator and the recognition of explosion fault can effectively improve the efficiency and intelligence level.

Abstract:
Many believe that, in addition to cognitive capacities, autonomous robots need something similar to affect. As in humans, affect, including specific emotions, would filter robot experience based on a set of goals, values, and interests. This narrows behavioral options and avoids combinatorial explosion or regress problems that challenge purely cognitive assessments in a continuously changing experiential field. Adding human-like affect to robots is not straightforward, however. Affect in organisms is an aspect of evolved biological systems, from the taxes of single-cell organisms to the instincts, drives, feelings, moods, and emotions that focus human behavior through the mediation of hormones, pheromones, neurotransmitters, the autonomic nervous system, and key brain structures. We argue that human intelligence is intimately linked to biological affective systems and to the unique repertoire of potential behaviors, sometimes conflicting, they facilitate. Artificial affect is affect in name only and without genes and biological bodies, autonomous robots will lack the goals, interests, and value systems associated with human intelligence. We will take advantage of their general intelligence and expertise, but robots will not enter our intellectual world or apply for legal status in the community.

Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence is a significant innovation that is an important part of our day-to-day lives as well as our industry. Today, artificial intelligence is a rapidly advancing innovation in our daily lives. From the Innovation Industry to ordinary people, it will change the way of life. A human's state is updated by the AI at every point in their lives. As an example, a school today uses AI programming to enable participation based on face recognition. In the future, driverless cars will be the best. Vehicles are completely constrained by the AI programming that detects signs and street points. In most ICT models, enormous amounts of information are incorporated, self-thought capability is not addressed, and there is a lot of confusion. There is an explosion of creative innovations, such as corporate collaboration and profound learning. As AI frameworks learn to adapt to individuals' character and goals, individuals' future relationships with machines will always become contact, liquid, and customized. As a result of these AI applications, individuals will be able to monitor their wellbeing, be alerted to risks in advance, and receive administrations when they need them. While AI continues to bring significant benefits in every field, it also raises significant moral and social issues, such as security issues. A number of occupations have already been dislodged due to robotics and other artificial intelligence advancements. In this paper, we focus on the more extensive and smaller scope of man-made consciousness, its shrewd gadgets, and future advancements. Additionally, this paper shed a few light on how man-made brainpower is used in the day-to-day world.

Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has developed as an interdisciplinary science based on computers and is concerned with building machines and equipment which use human intelligence to perform a particular task. The role of AI is manifold in our day-to-day lives. With high penetration amongst people in different societies, AI has transformed the way of living and has the potential to act as a vehicle to disseminate information regarding animal health, production, and reproduction aspects. AI has already made an immense contribution in veterinary and allied sciences by helping in devising various applications used in research and simulation aids. In addition, it has been put in to use efficiently in the field of veterinary sciences thereby hastening diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of various animal diseases. The history of AI, its applications as software packages in statistics, bioinformatics, simulation apps, and a list of various equipment used for analytical, clinical, and livestock farm purposes are elaborated in this article. Despite playing a vital role, AI has to be further refined in such a way to target the rural livestock farmers to improve animal health and production in developing countries that are in dire need of meeting food security requirements amidst the current scenario of population explosion.

Abstract:
The quality of financial decision-making is very important to the future development of an enterprise, but it is often affected by the completeness of useful information for decision-making and the subjective factors of decision makers, and is often unstable. With the development of computer technology, the financial decision support system came into being, which improved the quality of financial decision to some extent. However, although the existing financial decision support system has achieved dataization to a certain extent, it still faces problems such as artificial leadership, insufficient intelligence, and poor decision-making efficiency, and cannot fully meet the needs of decision-makers. The explosion of artificial intelligence technology in recent years has provided potential improvements to financial decision support systems. In this article, we conduct a detailed analysis of the deficiencies in the current financial decision support system, build the mechanism and implementation path of the financial decision support system under artificial intelligence, and design a digital and intelligent financial decision support system. At the same time, we apply the proposed financial decision support system to the financial practice of X enterprise. Through the questionnaire survey, it is found that through the comprehensive application of artificial intelligence technology, the new system has a higher degree of intelligence than the existing system, and its construction can effectively improve the timeliness and accuracy of financial decision-making, while reducing the cost of financial decision-making. It is conducive to promoting the integration of management accounting and financial accounting.

Abstract:
This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurship education and artificial intelligence (AI) development on entrepreneurial intentions while investigating the mediating role of perceived behavioral control. The proposed model also accounts for individual and contextual socioeconomic factors. This study tries to fill the gap in the entrepreneurship literature, which is still lacking with respect to the impact of new technologies on entrepreneurship intentions and shows conflicting results regarding the influence of entrepreneurship education. Our study surveyed 223 business students in Lebanon. The context of this study is of high importance, particularly since the country is currently facing a deep, multifaced political, economic, and financial crisis, and entrepreneurship might be considered an important channel for generating basic sources of income, steering the recovery process, and increasing Lebanese resilience against this highly unstable economy. The structural equation modeling technique (SEM) was conducted to validate the hypotheses. The results show that perceived behavioral control fully mediates the relations between performance expectancy of AI solutions, entrepreneurship education, and entrepreneurial intention. Risk aversion and social support exert a direct impact on entrepreneurial intentions. The findings highlight the need to account for entrepreneurship education and AI development when analyzing entrepreneurial intentions.

Abstract Perspectives of development of control system dedicated for areas threatened by methane and/or coal dust explosion hazard are presented. Development of self-powered sensors, dedicated for operation in wireless network is one of the development directions. Such a solution will complement typical control systems and it can be used in the places, where there is no possibility of using the typical sensors, in close vicinity to the machine – due to lack of wired connection. General concept of the self-powered sensors with use of two methods of power supply – piezoelectric energy harvester and thermoelectric generator, is given.

Full text
Abstract:
Multi-robot path planning is difficult due to the combinatorial explosion of the search space with every new robot added. Complete search of the combined state-space soon becomes intractable. In this paper we present a novel form of abstraction that allows us to plan much more efficiently. The key to this abstraction is the partitioning of the map into subgraphs of known structure with entry and exit restrictions which we can represent compactly. Planning then becomes a search in the much smaller space of subgraph configurations. Once an abstract plan is found, it can be quickly resolved into a correct (but possibly sub-optimal) concrete plan without the need for further search. We prove that this technique is sound and complete and demonstrate its practical effectiveness on a real map. A contending solution, prioritised planning, is also evaluated and shown to have similar performance albeit at the cost of completeness. The two approaches are not necessarily conflicting; we demonstrate how they can be combined into a single algorithm which outperforms either approach alone.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to tackle the problem of combinatorial explosion which is inherent in declarative three-dimensional scene synthesis. This is achieved by encoding desired qualitative aspects, not originally supported by the Declarative Modeling methodology, and applying them to the Solution Generation and/or Scene Understanding phase(s), in order to provide the designer with a subset of solutions, which are most representative of the aforementioned aspects. For this reason, we have adapted and applied a machine learning technique, as well as an evolutionary search method, to the current context. The former refers to the gradual construction of a preference model, comprising an incrementally learning mechanism based on actual designer solution evaluation during regular system use. The latter approach models qualitative aspects through a multi-objective genetic algorithm variation based on weighted sums. The algorithm is applied during the generation and understanding phases of Declarative Modeling. The experimental results provide evidence of successful acquisition and exploitation of the desired qualitative characteristics in the paradigm of declarative three-dimensional scene synthesis.

Abstract:
Constraint Programming (CP) is a powerful declarative programming paradigm where inference and search are interleaved to find feasible and optimal solutions to various type of constraint systems. However, handling logical connectors with constructive information in CP is notoriously difficult. This paper presents If Then Else (ITE), a lightweight implementation of stratified constructive reasoning for logical connectives. Stratification is introduced to cope with the risk of combinatorial explosion of constructing information from nested and combined logical operators. ITE is an open-source library built on top of SICStus Prolog clpfd, which proposes various operators, including constructive disjunction and negation, constructive implication and conditional. These operators can be used to express global constraints and to benefit from constructive reasoning for more domain pruning during constraint filtering. Even though ITE is not competitive with specialized filtering algorithms available in some global constraints implementations, its expressiveness allows users to easily define well-tuned constraints with powerful deduction capabilities. Our extended experimental results show that ITE is more efficient than available generic approaches that handle logical constraint systems over finite domains.

Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) is a developing technology for supporting heterogeneous physical objects into smart things and improving the individuals living using wireless communication systems. Recently, many smart healthcare systems are based on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to collect and analyze the data for infectious diseases, i.e., body fever, flu, COVID-19, shortness of breath, etc. with the least operation cost. However, the most important research challenges in such applications are storing the medical data on a secured cloud and make the disease diagnosis system more energy efficient. Additionally, the rapid explosion of IoMT technology has involved many cyber-criminals and continuous attempts to compromise medical devices with information loss and generating bogus certificates. Thus, the increase in modern technologies for healthcare applications based on IoMT, securing health data, and offering trusted communication against intruders is gaining much research attention. Therefore, this study aims to propose an energy-efficient IoT e-health model using artificial intelligence with homomorphic secret sharing, which aims to increase the maintainability of disease diagnosis systems and support trustworthy communication with the integration of the medical cloud. The proposed model is analyzed and proved its significance against relevant systems.

Abstract:
Methods for qualitative simulation allow predictions on the dynamics of a system to be made in the absence of quantitative information, by inferring the range of possible qualitative behaviors compatible with the structure of the system. This article reviews QSIM and other qualitative simulation methods. It discusses two problems that have seriously compromised the application of these methods to realistic problems in science and engineering: the occurrence of spurious behavior predictions and the combinatorial explosion of the number of behavior predictions. In response to these problems, related approaches for the qualitative analysis of dynamic systems have emerged: qualitative phase-space analysis and semi-quantitative simulation. The article argues for a synthesis of these approaches in order to obtain a computational framework for the qualitative analysis of dynamic systems. This should provide a solid basis for further upscaling and for the development of model-based reasoning applications of a wider scope.

Abstract:
Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a popular swarm intelligence technique inspired by the intelligent foraging behavior of honey bees. However, ABC is good at exploration but poor at exploitation and its convergence speed is also an issue in some cases. To improve the performance of ABC, a novel ABC combined with grenade explosion method (GEM) and Cauchy operator, namely, ABCGC, is proposed. GEM is embedded in the onlooker bees’ phase to enhance the exploitation ability and accelerate convergence of ABCGC; meanwhile, Cauchy operator is introduced into the scout bees’ phase to help ABCGC escape from local optimum and further enhance its exploration ability. Two sets of well-known benchmark functions are used to validate the better performance of ABCGC. The experiments confirm that ABCGC is significantly superior to ABC and other competitors; particularly it converges to the global optimum faster in most cases. These results suggest that ABCGC usually achieves a good balance between exploitation and exploration and can effectively serve as an alternative for global optimization.

Abstract:
Four natural phenomena are cited for their defiance of conventional neo-Darwinian analysis: human intelligence; cat domesticity; the Cambrian explosion; and convergent evolution. 1. Humans are now far more intelligent than needed in their hunting–gathering days >10,000 years ago. 2. Domestic cats evolved from wildcats via major genetic and physical changes, all occurring in less than 12,000 years. 3. The Cambrian explosion refers to the remarkable expansion of species that mystifies evolutionists, as there is a total lack of fossil evidence for precursors of this abundant new life. 4. Convergent evolution often involves formation of complex, multigene traits in two or more species that have no common ancestor. These four evolutionary riddles are discussed in terms of a proposed “preassembly” mechanism in which genes and gene precursors are collected silently and randomly over extensive time periods within huge non-coding sections of DNA. This is followed by epigenetic release of the genes, when the environment so allows, and by natural selection. In neo-Darwinism, macroevolution of complex traits involves multiple mutation/selections, with each of the resulting intermediates being more favorable to the species than the previous one. Preassembly, in contrast, invokes natural selection only after a partially or fully formed trait is already in place. Preassembly does not supplant neo-Darwinism but, instead, supplements neo-Darwinism in those important instances where the classical theory is wanting.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a buoyancy-gravity adjustment device and a fuzzy intelligent controller for the depth control of a storage tank in-service inspection robot. Design/methodology/approach The structure of the robot is first designed based on the construction of the bottom of a crude oil tank and explosion-proof requirements. The buoyancy-gravity adjustment system is used to control the vertical movement of the robot. The motion analysis of the robot indicates that the diving or rising process is influenced by hydrodynamic force and umbilical cord tension. Considering the nonlinear model in-depth control, a fuzzy intelligent controller is proposed to address the depth control problem. The primary fuzzy controller is used to compensate for initial error with fast response. The secondary fuzzy controller is activated by an intelligent switch to eliminate the steady error. Findings The proposed fuzzy controller can better solve the complicated hydrodynamic problem of the coupling of umbilical cord and the robot during depth control by classifying the error values of depth, velocity and acceleration. Originality/value The buoyancy-gravity adjustment device and the depth control system of the robot can move through the heating coils by safe and accurate diving or rising.
