Article Abstract

Bat algorithm has disadvantages of slow convergence rate, low convergence precision and weak stability. In this paper, we designed an improved bat algorithm with a logarithmic decreasing strategy and Cauchy disturbance. In order to meet the requirements of global optimal and dynamic obstacle avoidance in path planning for a mobile robot, we combined bat algorithm (BA) and dynamic window approach (DWA). An undirected weighted graph is constructed by setting virtual points, which provide path switch strategies for the robot. The simulation results show that the improved bat algorithm is better than the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) and basic bat algorithm in terms of the optimal solution. Hybrid path planning methods can significantly reduce the path length compared with the dynamic window approach. Path switch strategy is proved effective in our simulations.

This paper investigates enhancing the efficiency of solar water pumping systems (SWPS) by implementing a Maximum Power Point Tracking technique based on the Bat Metaheuristic Optimizer (MPPT-bat) for the photovoltaic generator (PVG) side, coupled with Direct Torque Control (DTC) for the induction motor powering the pump. Unlike traditional techniques, which make no compromise between tracking speed, oscillation and robustness. The integration of the MPPT-bat represents a significant advance, making it possible to improve PVG performance whatever the weather conditions.

The accuracy of node localization plays a crucial role in the performance and reliability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which are widely utilized in fields like security systems and environmental monitoring. The integrity of these networks is often threatened by the presence of malicious nodes that can disrupt the localization process, leading to erroneous positioning and degraded network functionality. To address this challenge, we propose the security-aware localization using bat-optimized malicious anchor prediction (BO-MAP) algorithm.

Motivation: Mitochondria are essential for cellular metabolism and are inherently flexible to allow correct function in a wide range of tissues. Consequently, dysregulated mitochondrial metabolism affects different tissues in different ways leading to challenges in understanding the pathology of mitochondrial diseases. System-level metabolic modelling is useful in studying tissue-specific mitochondrial metabolism, yet despite the mouse being a common model organism in research, no mouse specific mitochondrial metabolic model is currently available.
