Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic pollutants and manufactured substances conferring toxicity to human health. The present study investigated whether pyrene, a type of PAH, harms rats. Our research provides an effective feature selection strategy for the animal dataset from Wenzhou Medical University's Experimental Animal Center to thoroughly examine the impacts of PAH toxicity on rat features. Initially, we devised a high‐performance optimization method (SCBA) and added the Sobol sequence, vertical crossover and horizontal crossover mechanisms to the bat algorithm (BA). The SCBA‐KELM model, which combines SCBA with the kernel extreme learning machine model (KELM), has excellent accuracy and high stability for selecting features. Benchmark function tests are then used in this research to verify the overall optimization performance of SCBA. In this paper, the feature selection performance of SCBA‐KELM is verified using various comparative experiments. According to the results, the features of the genes PXR, CAR, CYP2B1/2 and CYP1A1/2 have the most impact on rats. The SCBA‐KELM model's classification performance for the gene dataset was 100%, and the model's precision value for the public dataset was around 96%, as determined by the classification index. In conclusion, the model utilized in this research is anticipated to be a reliable and valuable approach for toxicological classification and assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the development of the drying rack system, users with limited time tend to use the fully functional drying rack system to realize various intelligent control functions. However, the existing control methods for drying rack system has some defects such as, low intelligence and system delay, which are unsuitable for most users. In this paper, an efficient intelligent control algorithm based on the back‐propagation (BP) neural network is proposed. In this system, STM32F103 is first utilized as the central controller and multiple sensors are used to collect environmental information. Then, the remote control, voice keywords, and buttons can be used to achieve intelligent control. Subsequently, a motor drive intelligence control algorithm based on the BP neural network (MCBP) is proposed to improve the accuracy of the intelligent control. Next, an Application (APP) that can display environmental data such as wind speed, temperature, and humidity is developed. The APP can realize various intelligent control functions such as lifting, panning, rotating, and harvesting. Finally, MCBP is compared with normal control and programmable logic controller control. The accuracy of the MCBP is higher than other two control methods. The final extensive experiments confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed intelligent control algorithm.

Multi‐objective optimization problems frequently appear in many diverse research areas and application domains. Metaheuristics, as efficient techniques to solve them, need to be easily accessible to users with different expertise and programming skills. In this context, metaheuristic optimization frameworks are helpful, as they provide popular algorithms, customizable components and additional facilities to conduct experiments. Due to the broad range of available tools, this paper presents a systematic evaluation and experimental comparison of 10 frameworks, covering from multi‐purpose, consolidated tools to recent libraries specifically designed for multi‐objective optimization. The evaluation is organized around seven characteristics: search components and techniques, configuration, execution, utilities, external support and community, software implementation and performance. An analysis of code metrics and a series of experiments serves to assess the last two features. Lesson learned and open issues are also discussed as part of the comparative study. The outcomes of the evaluation process reveal a contrasted support to recent advances in multi‐objective optimization, with a lack of novel algorithms and variety of metaheuristics other than evolutionary algorithms. The experimental comparison also reports significant differences in terms of both execution time and memory usage under demanding configurations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: Industrial internet‐of‐things (IIoT) cloud computing gives users with the ease of outsourcing calculations and carrying the risk of privacy disclosure. To solve this issue, secure high‐order clustering algorithm by fast search (SHOCFS) technique is introduced recently. The major factors of SHOCFS algorithm are speed improvement and detecting optimal density peaks. The optimal selection of density points in the SHOCFS algorithm still becomes an important issue to be considered. The swallow swarm optimization (SSO) is introduced in the proposed work for choosing optimal density peaks in clustering algorithm. This paper motivates to design a new secure cloud service system for cloud in IIoT environment. The secure high‐order optimal density selection (SHODS3O‐CFS) approach is proposed in hybrid cloud environment. The major contribution of the work is to develop an optimization‐based secure clustering algorithm for finding the best density points in clustering algorithm. It may reduce the overlapping peak points in the cluster and increase the security of system in hybrid cloud. The experimental results of the proposed algorithm and existing methods are measured via clustering metrics such as accuracy, clustering center quality, and speed ratio. The metrics like clustering center quality, Rand index (RI), encryption time (ms), and speedup ratio have been used to measure the results of the proposed system and existing methods. From the results, it is concluded that the proposed work has achieved higher average RI of 93.4%, which is 29.68% and 17.4% higher when compared with the privacy preservation high‐order clustering algorithm by fast search (PPHOCFS) and SHOCFS methods.
