Current Status And Prospects Of Complex Scene Reconstruction Based On Gaussian Splatting, Hong'an Li, Jiale Yang, Qingfang Liu, Yu Shi

Journal of System Simulation

Three-dimensional Gaussian splatting (3DGS) provides an alternative approach for novel view synthesis from the perspective of explicit representation. By reconstructing scenes using 3D Gaussian primitives and replacing traditional ray integration with a point-based rasterization process, it not only improves training and rendering efficiency but also offers new insights for complex scene reconstruction. This paper divided 3DGS-based complex scene reconstruction methods into three major categories and elaborated on them around large-scale scenes, sparse views, and dynamic scenes. It reviewed the current development status of this field and pointed out possible future research directions.

Energy Management Strategy For Hybrid Electric Buses Considering Vehicle Mass Variation, Jinjun Tang, Shuaijie Zhang

Journal of System Simulation

The vehicle mass variation during the operation of buses affects power demand of the vehicle, which can result in poor performance of energy management strategies. To this end, a hybrid electric bus energy management strategy based on proximal policy optimization-adaptive simulated annealing (PPOASA) is proposed. ASA is introduced into PPO to perturb policy parameters according to policy entropy before the policy update, and the perturbed policies are adaptively accepted or rejected by employing the Metropolis criterion, thus improving the exploration capability of the policy and convergence stability. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the charge depleting-charge sustaining (CD-CS) …

Application Of Improved Multi-Objective Differential Algorithm In Robotic Arm Multi-Objective Trajectory Planning, Manqiang Liu, Ziqiang Shang

Journal of System Simulation

It is difficult for single-objective trajectory planning methods to meet the requirements of precision, diversity and complexity of robotic arms. A trajectory planning model based on an improved multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (guided multi-objective differential evolution, GMODE) algorithm is proposed. Cubic polynomial interpolation and B-spline curves are employed to construct multi-objective functions, while GMODE is adopted to overcome the limitations of traditional algorithms, such as insufficient population diversity, the tendency to fall into local optima, and slow convergence. A grouping strategy, parameter generation mechanism, and elite mutation based on fuzzy Cmeans clustering are introduced to optimize B-spline control nodes. …

The results show that the proposed method can efficiently identify various typical patterns, including quasi-constant amplitude oscillations, period-doubling oscillations, and chaotic oscillations. Oscillations dominated by nonlinear factors such as control switching, limiter collision, and limiter saturation are essentially caused by the transition of the associated components from passive responses to …

Muon Lifetime: Theory, Experiment, And Simulation, Soren Agustin Munoz

Physics

This senior project investigates the muon lifetime through three complementary approaches: theoretical calculation, laboratory measurement, and computational simulation. The theoretical component develops the necessary background from relativistic field theory to the effective weak interaction, culminating in the leading-order Fermi-theory prediction of τ ≈ 2.2 μs, which explains why the muon lifetime lies on the microsecond scale.

The experimental component measures the lifetime of stopped cosmic-ray muons using a plastic scintillator, photomultiplier tube, and analog timing electronics. A binned Poisson likelihood fit to the primary 15-day acquisition run τ = 2.17^+0.03_-0.09 μs, consistent with the accepted value within the …

A Symbolic Model Of Proof Acquisition In Act-R, Beckett Morris, Kerstin Haring

Learning to construct mathematical proofs—formal arguments demonstrating the truth of a mathematical statement using logical deductions and previously established facts—is one of the most challenging skills in STEM education. This research aims to build the foundations for a symbolic cognitive model, using the ACT-R cognitive architecture and implementing in Python with the pyactr package, to explore how different proof strategies can be thought through with only symbols and rules. The model observes simple proofs, and its abilities are assessed based on its generalization capabilities, efficiency, and error patterns. By developing and analyzing such a model, this research provides new insights …

High-Throughput Robotic Ethanol Inhibition Assays For Engineered Thermophilic Biofuel Strains, Kevin He, Daniel Olson, Marybeth Maloney, Anthony Lanahan

Wetterhahn Science Symposium Posters

Ethanol stress assays are commonly used to evaluate microbial tolerance, metabolic adaptation, and fermentation performance. However, manual liquid handling introduces variability across replicate wells and small-volume pipetting steps, limiting reproducibility and throughput. This study developed an automated OT-2 robotic workflow to generate replicated ethanol concentration gradients for high-throughput inhibition assays in engineered thermophilic biofuel strains. Kinetic plate-reader measurements were used to quantify ethanol-dependent growth responses under anaerobic fermentation conditions. The reasearch question is: How do engineered thermophilic biofuel strains differ in ethanol-dependent growth inhibition under anaerobic fermentation conditions, and can automated robotic assays improve the reproducibility of these measurements? Can …

Effects Of Coulomb Collisions On The Structures Of Fast Magnetosonic Shocks, Bo Farnell

Physics and Astronomy Undergraduate Senior Theses

We present fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations demonstrating qualitative effects of binary Coulomb collisions on fast magnetosonic shocks. We find that with a sufficiently high collisional frequency, shock rippling and reformation can be inhibited, creating stationary, laminar shocks. We see that collisions rapidly bring the reflected population into equilibrium with the upstream population, adding credibility to existing theories that the separation of these two populations create these dynamical behaviors around the shock transition region. We also see that Ohmic heating from Coulomb collisions can suppress instabilities.
