Gene Expression Programming Model for Tribological Behavior of Novel SiC–ZrO2–Al Hybrid Composites
No full textIn order to improve product format quality and material flexibility, variety of application, and cost-effectiveness, SiC, ZrO2, and Al hybrid composites were manufactured in the research utilizing the powder metallurgy (PM) technique. A model was created to predict the tribological behavior of SiC–ZrO2–Al hybrid composites using statistical data analysis and gene expression programming (GEP) based on artificial intelligence. For the purpose of examining the impact of zirconia concentration, sliding distance, and applied stress on the wear behavior of hybrid composites, a comprehensive factor design of experiments was used. The developed GEP model was sufficiently robust to achieve extremely high accuracy in the prediction of the determine coefficient (R2), the root mean square error (RMSE), and the root relative square error (RRSE). The maximum state of the RMSE was 0.4357 for the GEP-1 (w1) model and the lowest state was 0.7591 for the GEP-4 (w1) model, while the maximum state of the RRSE was 0.4357 for the GEP-1 (w1) model and the minimum state was 0.3115 for the GEP-3 model (w1)

ABSTRACT
Dhikr Manaqib is a form of religious activity carried out by the Muslim
community, which in the end becomes a ritual routine at certain moments
which is a process of acculturation between local culture and Islam. What is
meant by manaqib in terms is reading stories about pious people, such as the
story of the Prophet or Auliya '(lovers of Allah) with the aim of imitating
their commendable character and written using very beautiful language with
really beautiful sentence structures.
The formulation of the problem in this study: 1) How is the Process of
Implementing Manaqib in Improving Worship for Santriwan/students at the
Bustanul Fallah Islamic Boarding School, Palapa Village, Tanjung Karang
Pusat District, Bandar Lampung City. 2) What is the Impact of Manaqib in
Increasing the Worship of Santriwan/students at the Bustanul Fallah Islamic
Boarding School, Palapa Village, Tanjung Karang Pusat District, Bandar
Lampung City. And the purpose of this study was to find out the process of
implementing Manaqib in improving the worship of students at the Bustanul
Fallah Islamic Boarding School, Palapa Village, Tanjung Karang Pusat
District, Bandar Lampung City. And for the impact of Manaqib in Increasing
the Worship of the Santriwan/students of the Bustanul Fallah Islamic
Boarding School.
The type of research used by the author is field research and is
qualitatively descriptive. Sources of Data Research primary data and
secondary data, with data collection techniques using observation,
interviews, and documentation. The location of this research at the Bustanul
Fallah Islamic Boarding School is located on Jl. Darabirra Lampung,
Palapa, Central Tanjung Karang District, Bandar Lampung City.
The results of this study indicate that the process of implementing
manaqib in improving the worship of santriwan and female students at the
Bustanul Fallah Islamic Boarding School, Palapa Village, Central
Tanjungkarang District, Bandarlampung City, namely: Al-Qur'an chanting,
prayer beads and prayers, Reading of Manaqib Sheikh Abdul Qodir al�Jailani, Giving motivation, relationship, communication implementation and
development and improvement of manaqib implementation. And the impact of
manaqib in increasing the worship of santriwan and female students at the
Bustanul Fallah Islamic Boarding School, Palapa Village, Central
Tanjungkarang District, Bandarlampung City, that manaqib has a positive
impact on students and female students at the Bustanul Fallah Islamic
Boarding School, this is because before the students and the female students
studied at the Islamic Boarding School. At the pesantren they tend to be lazy
in worship, but after rutih doing manaqib activities there is an increase in the
worship of santriwan and santriwati. This is evidenced by changes in the
daily attitude of 25 students and female students after carrying out routine
manaqib activities.

Attitudes of Governmental Managers toward the Implementation of Management Information System (MIS)
No full textAbstract: The present study aimed at investigating the attitudes of the managers of Golestan province government departments toward the implementation of management information systems (MIS). The population of the study consisted of all top managers and assistant managers of Golestan province government departments who were already in office in 2010 (N=140). The participants were selected randomly based on the Morgan table for sampling (n=115). The study took on a descriptive method. All participants completed the Questionnaire for the Information Systems Establishment Factors (Fallah, 2005) which included items on the Likert scale. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire for the target population were estimated and approved as α=0.05. One-sample t-test revealed that the directors' familiarity with the advantages of MIS (P<0.001, t=5.63) and disbelief in the demerits of traditional systems were beyond our expectations (P<0.001, t=3.82). That is, the observed mean is greater than the standard mean ( = µ 3). Besides, the main factors hindering the establishment and application of MIS in the government departments included the resistance against the establishment and application of MIS (P<0.001, t=3.26), inappropriate organizational factors (P<0.001, t=4.20), and the directors' unfamiliarity with current information systems in the organizations
Automated configuration of negotiation strategies
No full textBidding and acceptance strategies have a substantial impact on the outcome of negotiations in scenarios with linear additive and nonlinear utility functions. Over the years, it has become clear that there is no single best strategy for all negotiation settings, yet many fixed strategies are still being developed. We envision a shift in the strategy design question from: What is a good strategy?, towards: What could be a good strategy? For this purpose, we developed a method leveraging automated algorithm configuration to find the best strategies for a specific set of negotiation settings. By empowering automated negotiating agents using automated algorithm configuration, we obtain a flexible negotiation agent that can be configured automatically for a rich space of opponents and negotiation scenarios. To critically assess our approach, the agent was tested in an ANAC-like bilateral automated negotiation tournament setting against past competitors. We show that our automatically configured agent outperforms all other agents, with a 5.1% increase in negotiation payoff compared to the next-best agent. We note that without our agent in the tournament, the top-ranked agent wins by a margin of only 0.01%.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Interactive Intelligenc
Multiscale characterization of Ti-induced grain refinement in additively manufactured austenitic stainless steel
No full textIn-situ inoculation of grain-refining elements can effectively mitigate columnar grain growth and alleviate mechanical anisotropy in additively manufactured metals, while enhancing strength via the Hall-Petch effect. However, the refinement mechanism of Ti in austenitic stainless steel remains unclear. This study investigates Mn-assisted Ti inoculation in 316L stainless steel (SS316L), followed by annealing. Despite near-full densification, localized Ti enrichment formed coarse, brittle FeTi and C14 Laves intermetallic clusters, encapsulated by ultrafine ferritic grains within an austenitic matrix. Elevated annealing temperatures dissolved Laves phases and promoted Ti diffusion, resulting in dispersed TiO particles and ferritic domains. Refined Laves phases were redistributed to grain boundaries and triple junctions. Mechanical testing showed improved ductility with increasing annealing temperature: ultimate tensile strength decreased from 650 MPa to 610 MPa, while elongation rose from 13 % to 38 %. Hardness mapping revealed a more uniform distribution, though the maximum hardness dropped from 370 HV to 210 HV. Electrochemical corrosion tests in saline solution indicated that phase transformations induced by Ti-Mn co-inoculation undermined the corrosion resistance of SS316L, rendering it more susceptible to degradation in aggressive environments
Optimal Sensor Configuration and Fault-Tolerant Estimation of Vehicle States
No full text© SAE, Zarringhalam, R., Rezaeian, A., Fallah, S., Khajepour, A. et al., "Optimal Sensor Configuration and Fault-Tolerant Estimation of Vehicle States," SAE Int. J. Passeng. Cars – Electron. Electr. Syst. 6(1):83-92, 2013, doi:10.4271/2013-01-0175.This paper discusses observability of the vehicle states using different sensor configurations as well as fault-tolerant estimation of these states. The optimality of the sensor configurations is assessed through different observability measures and by using a 3-DOF linear vehicle model that incorporates yaw, roll and lateral motions of the vehicle. The most optimal sensor configuration is adopted and an observer is designed to estimate the states of the vehicle handling dynamics. Robustness of the observer against sensor failure is investigated. A fault-tolerant adaptive estimation algorithm is developed to mitigate any possible faults arising from the sensor failures. Effectiveness of the proposed fault-tolerant estimation scheme is demonstrated through numerical analysis and CarSim simulation.Automotive Partnership CanadaOntario Research Fun
New foundations of ethical multiagent systems blue sky ideas track
No full textEthics is inherently a multiagent concern. However, research on AI ethics today is dominated by work on individual agents: (1) how an autonomous robot or car may harm or (differentially) benefit people in hypothetical situations (the so-called trolley problems) and (2) how a machine learning algorithm may produce biased decisions or recommendations. The societal framework is largely omitted. To develop new foundations for ethics in AI, we adopt a sociotechnical stance in which agents (as technical entities) help autonomous social entities or principals (people and organizations). This multiagent conception of a sociotechnical system (STS) captures how ethical concerns arise in the mutual interactions of multiple stakeholders. These foundations would enable us to realize ethical STSs that incorporate social and technical controls to respect stated ethical postures of the agents in the STSs. The envisioned foundations require new thinking, along two broad themes, on how to realize (1) an STS that reflects its stakeholders' values and (2) individual agents that function effectively in such an STS.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Interactive Intelligenc
Additive manufacturing of nano-oxide decorated AlSi10Mg composites: A comparative study on Gd2O3 and Er2O3 additions
No full textAlSi10Mg-based nanocomposites were fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing with the addition of 1 wt% Gd2O3 and Er2O3 nanoparticles. The effect of different process parameters and supplementary remelting on the densification of the samples was evaluated. Results showed that remelting the printed layers could improve the densification. According to the microstructural observations, stacking the nanoparticles on uneven surfaces of irregular AlSi10Mg particles beside van der Waals's attractive force between the adjacent particles eventually forms coarsened clusters in printed samples. The XRD patterns disclosed the partial reaction between the nano-oxides and the aluminum matrix and the formation of some interfacial intermetallic layers, which were also validated by SEM characterization. The measurement of grain size and microhardness implied that the addition of Er2O3 played a more effective role in grain refinement and enhanced the hardness more uniformly compared to Gd2O3. Overall, the acquired average hardness for both nano-oxide reinforced specimens was greater than the reported values for LPBF-fabricated AlSi10Mg-matrix composites in the past. EBSD analyses revealed that due to the pinning effect of the nanoparticles, particle-rich zones demonstrated higher KAM and grain orientation spread (GOS) values which were attributed to the formation of more GNDs at the matrix/ particles interfaces
