A Bilstm+Attention Method For Predicting The Intentions Of Air Combat Targets Based On Multi-Feature Continuous Time Series, Qiuni Li, Dong Wang, Chaozhe Wang, Zongcheng Liu

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To achieve advance prediction of enemy target intention, a three-layer air combat intention prediction method based on multi-feature continuous time series and BiLSTM+Attention, including trajectory prediction, threat assessment, and intention prediction was proposed. To prevent the onesidedness of intention prediction results caused by state information at a single moment, prediction was carried out from multiple state features and trajectory information in a continuous time series. An LSTM neural network was used to predict the trajectory of the target aircraft, and the threat assessment of the target aircraft before and after the prediction was conducted. The BiLSTM + Attention model …

Large-Scale Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm Based On Multi-Region Dynamic Grouping, Binhao Liang, Jingxuan Wei, Fengqin Liang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The decision variable dimension of large-scale multi-objective optimization problems can reach hundreds or even thousands. For existing large-scale multi-objective evolutionary algorithms based on decision variable analysis, which usually consume a large amount of computational resources for grouping and fail to consider the interactions between convergence-related variables and diversity-related variables, a large-scale multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on multi-region adaptive dynamic grouping was proposed. The algorithm employed a Gaussian mixture model to partition the decision space into multiple regions; within each region, feature vectors were constructed for each decision variable, and spectral clustering was utilized to perform grouping. To validate …

Journal of Materials Exploration and Findings

The electrification of the transport sector is a crucial pathway for achieving Indonesia’s Net Zero Emissions (NZE) target by 2060. This study assesses the potential impact of passenger electric vehicle (EV) penetration on electricity demand and CO2 emissions in Aceh Province through a scenario-based modelling approach. Two policy-aligned scenarios are assessed: a low-penetration (LP) scenario and a high-penetration (HP) scenario. Using the Gompertz model and the ASIF framework, total CO2 emissions were projected from 2020 to 2060. Results show that although higher EV penetration reduces direct emissions from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, total CO2 emissions increase more significantly under …

Cybersecurity Undergraduate Research Showcase

Artificial Intelligence(AI) has recently forced change globally, public Institutions and as well as national security. Advancement in machine learning, mixed datasets have enabled significantly powerful systems while being capable of operating at a large scale. As innovation and technological advancement increases at rapid pace, issues like a regulation gap where scientific development far exceeds the government’s ability to regulate and establish an effective oversight. As a result, Artificial Intelligence has been controlled by private companies, leading to an industry where speed and profit often outweigh safety and ethical responsibility.


Quantifying Dag-Ness: A Multi-Component Framework, Erik Csikos 2026 Binghamton University--SUNY

Quantifying Dag-Ness: A Multi-Component Framework, Erik Csikos

Northeast Journal of Complex Systems (NEJCS)

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are important structures across many disciplines, including mathematics and network science. They are especially useful in modeling causal and hierarchical relationships in a wide variety of applications. The primary
features of a DAG, directedness and acyclicity, are traditionally treated as binary. A graph is either DAG or it is not. Because of this, graphs are not usually interpreted as partially acyclic or partially directed. To address this gap in understanding, we
introduce a framework, consisting of five components, that will provide a continuous measure of DAG-ness. This measure will take into account edge acyclicity, node cyclicity, …


Plasmoid Vortex System Retrofit A Sustainability And Efficiency Study On Internal Combustion Engines, Walker Hall 2026 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Plasmoid Vortex System Retrofit A Sustainability And Efficiency Study On Internal Combustion Engines, Walker Hall

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

The thesis addresses the persistent inefficiency and environmental degradation caused by internal combustion engines in modern vehicles, a major issue as the automotive industry faces increasing pressure to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Internal combustion engines, which power most cars today, convert only about 20-30% of fuel energy into useful work, with the remainder lost as heat and exhaust waste, including carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). This inefficiency contributes to global carbon emissions, with transportation accounting for approximately 29% of U.S. greenhouse gases in 2021 [1]. As regulatory standards tighten (e.g., …


An Integrated Bayesian Network-Based Zero Trust Model To Quantify Cyber Risk In Small-Medium Businesses, Ahmed Abdelmagid 2026 Old Dominion University

An Integrated Bayesian Network-Based Zero Trust Model To Quantify Cyber Risk In Small-Medium Businesses, Ahmed Abdelmagid

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Small-medium businesses (SMBs) play a pivotal role in the worldwide economy as they constitute the most considerable portion of businesses in developed countries like the UK and the US. As such, SMBs are likely targets of cybercrimes by malicious agents because of their vulnerable IT systems. The digital infrastructure of SMBs is more likely to be hit by cyberattacks than large businesses due to many factors that facilitate hackers’ missions. These factors include a limited financial budget devoted to cybersecurity, a lack of knowledge, an underrating of how dangerous cyber threats are, and a shortage of IT expertise. The enormous …

A Causal Inference Methodology For Root-Cause Diagnosis In Nonstationary Industrial Time Series, Cansu Yalim 2026 Old Dominion University

A Causal Inference Methodology For Root-Cause Diagnosis In Nonstationary Industrial Time Series, Cansu Yalim

Knowledge and Creativity Expo

Industrial fault diagnosis lacks a procedure that learns time-varying causal structure from observational time series, makes identifiability limits explicit, and uses intervention-based reasoning to support root-cause assessment under industrial constraints. Although predictive maintenance can reduce downtime, diagnosis is often expert-rule-based or association-driven; pipelines may elevate downstream symptoms alongside true drivers and provide limited guidance on which feasible action would change a fault trajectory under current operating conditions. Because operating phases and fault progression create regime shifts, industrial systems rarely follow a single stable mechanism. This study develops and evaluates a three-stage, regime-aware causal diagnostic protocol based on a time-varying Dynamic …


Identification Of Thruster Faults In Underwater Vehicles By Using Custom Encodings In Spiking Neural Networks, Donovan Gegg 2026 Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College

Identification Of Thruster Faults In Underwater Vehicles By Using Custom Encodings In Spiking Neural Networks, Donovan Gegg

LSU Master's Theses

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are untethered robotic platforms used for tasks such as seafloor mapping, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring. Recent technological advances have produced smaller, more affordable platforms, broadening access to research teams and small companies alike. This miniaturization comes at the cost of them handling drawbacks associated with a more compact machine such as reduced battery capacity as well as limited processing and sensing capabilities. These constraints make small-sized marine vehicle’s reliability critical as they can cause malfunctions, making the loss of a vehicle more likely. Actuator faults are particularly consequential as unintended and unstable control in an …
