Table 4: Average sojourn time in each state. The bearing reliability at current time is \(R(i=2,st_{1}=40)=1-0.1179=0.8821\). For the bearing used in this experiment, its effective life is the sum of sojourn time in state 1, 2, and 3. When the bearing reaches state 4, it has completely failed. Compared with the hidden Markov model (HMM) algorithm, the prediction result of Bearing1_1 is shown in Figure 10. The lifetime prediction of the HMM presents an obvious step-descent characteristic. Owing to the stable state transition matrix of HMM, the remaining useful life would not change when device performance is detected into a certain state. This characteristic makes the HMM seriously inconsistent with the actual situation. In contrast, the predicted lifetime of the proposed algorithm in this paper has higher accuracy than HMM, which is in line with the gradual decline with time, since the state transition probability matrix has been designed to update over time theoretically. In addition, the proposed algorithm becomes more and more accurate as the bearing performance gradually degrades; that is, the results of predicted life are more accurate in the later stage. It should be emphasized that there is also a slight step-descent as the red line shown in Figure 10. Because the state transition probability matrix is not changing over time in practice, it is only updated when a new monitoring data sample has arrived. The shorter the interval of condition monitoring data, the smoother the prediction curve would be.

### Modeling Parameters and Scenario Definition
#### 3.2.2 Mobility Scenarios  
The mobility scenarios used were designed for previous work with the Simulator of Urban Mobility (SUMO), and SUMO traces were ported to the OPNET Riverbed Modeler trajectory format [26]. SUMO traces were generated for medium (S2) and high (S3) road density scenarios (Table 2) on a straight, three-lane, one-way road, 5 km in length, with no junctions; with maximum vehicle speeds in compliance with the French freeway legislation, being 130 km/h for cars and 110 km/h for light trucks; and a speed distribution in which 95% of the vehicles drive at a speed ranging from 80% to 120% of the legal speed limit. Freeway scenarios were chosen because the CBL scheme was designed to meet the needs of highway safety applications. One-way road traffic scenarios were chosen to isolate a single traffic direction.  
Figure 4 shows the average number of vehicles for S2 (Figure 4a) and S3 (Figure 4b) scenarios. As the number of vehicles on the road section increased gradually over the first 150 s, metrics were only measured after this time elapsed, when both the number of vehicles and VANET routing traffic stabilized, so that simulation results (Section 4) were obtained in conditions that were representative of road densities S2 and S3.

### Quantitative Results
When comparing our model against each of the others with a Wilcoxon test, only the first contender (MSD-Net) was found to be significantly (\(p\)-value \(\leq\) 0.01) better in all metrics, while the fourth contender (nnU-Net) was better in terms of \(DSC\) (\(p\)-value = 0.037) and ABD (\(p\)-value = 0.030), but not HD95 (\(p\)-value = 0.439). The nnU-Net [37] is a very recent and interesting method that tries to automate the process of adapting a CNN architecture to a new dataset by making use of a sensible set of heuristics. Regarding the MSD-Net, unfortunately, its specifics are yet to be published as of the writing of this paper. Ultimately, beating this challenge was never the focus of this paper. No other single model (to the author's knowledge) is able to perform as consistently as ours in so many different datasets simultaneously. This is of utmost importance if such a model is to be used in a real-life scenario, where the MR images may come from many different scanners, and may be analyzed by many different experts.
## 5 Swarm-Based Solution
### Optimal Sink Selection Problem  
In ACO, ants search for a solution to the optimal sink selection issue by randomly moving around the sink nodes set at each time interval. Each ant \(k\) begins its tour at each source node and constructs connected covers by transitioning between sink nodes in the development graph. Ant \(k\) applies a probabilistic transition rule at each tour construction step to select which sink node it will be selected next. The probability that ant \(k\) will select sink node \(s_{i}\) for source node \(s\) is given by:  
\[P_{ss_{i}}^{k}(t)=\frac{\left[\tau_{ss_{i}}^{1}(t)\right]^{\omega_{1}}\left[ \eta_{s_{i}}^{1}(t)\right]^{\omega_{2}}\left[\lambda_{s_{i}}^{1}(t)\right]^{ \omega_{3}}}{\sum\limits_{l\in FSN^{t}}\left[\tau_{s_{l}}^{1}(t)\right]^{ \omega_{1}}\left[\eta_{l}^{1}(t)\right]^{\omega_{2}}\left[\lambda_{l}^{1}(t) \right]^{\omega_{3}}} \tag{61}\]  
* \(\tau_{ss_{i}}^{1}(t)\) represents the pheromone value at time \(t\), \(\eta_{s_{i}}^{1}(t)\) between sink node \(s_{i}\) and source node \(s\).
* \(\omega_{1}\), \(\omega_{2}\), and \(\omega_{3}\) are the weight factors that control the pheromone value and the heuristic information parameters, respectively, and \(\eta_{s_{i}}^{1}(t)\) and \(\lambda_{s_{i}}^{1}(t)\) are the heuristic information.
###### Abstract  
Optimal trajectory generation for the guidance of re-entry glide vehicles is of great significance. To realize a faster generation speed and consistency with the guidance mechanism, an improved convex optimization trajectory generation algorithm based on the flight range domain for the re-entry glide vehicles is proposed in this paper. Firstly, according to the definition of the range-to-go, the projected range-to-go of the re-entry glide vehicle is presented when the dynamic model is converted to the flight range domain. Then, the attack angle and bank angle are expanded to the state variables and the change rate, which is designed as a new control variable. When the dynamic models and constraints are convexificated and discretized, the vehicle trajectory discrete convex model in the flight range domain is proposed. In order to further improve the generation speed and accuracy, an initial trajectory generation method that is close to the guidance requirements is proposed by the landing points of different control laws. In addition, by analyzing the nonlinear illegal degree of grid points, the probability density of grid points and the adjustment strategy of grid points are proposed. Finally, the ablation experiment shows that the initial trajectory generation and distributed grid points method works. With different target points, different no-fly zones, different initial states, and the Monte Carlo experiment, our method can effectively and robustly complete the generation. The lateral and longitudinal generation error is less than 1 km. And compared with the Gaussian pseudo-spectral method, our method obtained comparable accuracy and faster speed.

## 7 Architecture Validation
### Throughput
#### 7.2.2. GraalVM  
Using the GraalVM-based microservices, 50% of the users received a response within 200 milliseconds while 90% of the users received it in approximately 650 milliseconds. 99% of the users received a response in under 1.04 s (Figure 38).  
Using the JUnit 5 testing framework [70], a stress test aiming to test 100 users continuously opening connections for 1 min provided the results shown in Table 5: Opening connections stress-test JVM vs. GraalVM.  
For this research, the number of possible connections is more than suitable for testing the capabilities of the architecture. The resulting values are a rough estimate, and the actual possible number of connections might be higher or lower, depending on the available resources and available network bandwidth.  
So, after conducting a series of tests to validate the proposed system architecture, it was demonstrated that the storage layer of the system can continue to function and preserve its state even when one or more of its running instances suffer destruction. Moreover, functionality can be delivered in a scalable and flexible way utilizing two runtimes: JVM and GraalVM.  
The end architecture performance metrics and architectural attributes can be further improved in other ways: providing more resources, adding caching strategies, utilizing more performant technologies, etc. Architectural performance represents the end goal for many critical systems. No software system is perfect, and the designed one makes no exception to this rule. It serves the designated purpose under the agreed terms and conditions of the functional requirements.  
Analyzing the system behavior and the results, it is safe to say that the proposed architecture achieves the goal of providing a near real-time text editing collaboration experience across peers. This system can adapt to increasing workloads by horizontal scaling, tolerate failure by using backup and fallback strategies, and use resources efficiently by utilizing natively compiled binaries. As a statement of the potential quality of the

The major functions of CPDT are effective cluster configuration based on the remaining energy of the things and data interchange of the properties assigned to the things. In order to enhance the lifetime of the IoT network, the cluster header is changed periodically. This period is named as a round. The operation of CPDT is composed of three phases: \"Advertisement phase\", \"setup cluster phase\", and \"data exchange phase.\"

# A Review of Systems and Technologies for Smart Homes and Smart Grids
## 1 Introduction  
The European Standard EN 15232 [1] and the Energy Performance of Building Directive 2010/31/EU [2], which is in line with Directive 2009/72/EC as well as the Energy Road Map 2050 [3], promote the adoption of smart home technologies to reduce energy usage in the residential sector. In the current era of Internet of Things, their development has been recognized as having significant potential to create an interactive energy management system for homes [4]. The new information and communication technologies (ICTs) are, therefore, becoming increasingly embedded in the society by allowing faster and more efficient interaction between users and both public and private environments. They are making people's lives simpler and better especially in their home environments.
# Point Cloud Denoising Algorithm via Geometric Metrics on the Statistical Manifold
## Appendix C Proof of Proposition 5  
Let \(F(U)\) be the objective function to minimize \(m\) symmetry positive-definite matrices as follows  
\[F(U):=\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^{m}\text{tr}\bigg{(}U_{i}^{-1}U+U^{-1}U_{i}-2I \bigg{)}. \tag{108}\]  
According to (12), the gradient of \(F(U)\) is computed by:\[\langle\
abla F(U),A\rangle = \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\tau}\bigg{|}_{\tau=0}F(U+\tau A)\] \[= \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\tau}\bigg{|}_{\tau=0}\frac{1}{m}\sum_ {i=1}^{m}\mathrm{tr}\bigg{(}U_{i}^{-1}Z(\tau)+Z(\tau)^{-1}U_{i}-2I\bigg{)}\] \[= \frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^{m}\mathrm{tr}\bigg{(}U_{i}^{-1}A\bigg{)}+ \frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^{m}\mathrm{tr}\bigg{(}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\tau} \bigg{|}_{\tau=0}Z(\tau)^{-1}U_{i}\bigg{)}\]  
with \(Z(\tau):=U+\tau A\). Using (A18), we obtain  
\[\mathrm{tr}\bigg{(}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\tau}\bigg{|}_{\tau=0}Z(\tau)^{ -1}U_{i}\bigg{)}=-\mathrm{tr}\bigg{(}U^{-1}U_{i}U^{-1}A\bigg{)}.\] (A22)  
Consequently, we obtain the gradient of \(F(U)\) that  
\[\
abla F(U)=\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^{m}\bigg{(}U_{i}^{-1}-U^{-1}U_{i}U^{-1} \bigg{)}.\] (A23)  
Let \(G(U)\) be the objective function to minimize \(m+l\) symmetry positive-definite matrices as follows  
\[G(U):= (1-\tau)\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^{m}\mathrm{tr}\bigg{(}U_{i}^{-1}U+U _{i}^{-1}U_{i}-2I\bigg{)}\] \[+\tau\frac{1}{l}\sum_{j=1}^{l}\mathrm{tr}\bigg{(}R_{j}^{-1}U+U^{-1 }R_{j}-2I\bigg{)},\]  
then we have  
\[\
abla G(U)=(1-\tau)\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^{m}\mathrm{tr}(U_{i}^{-1}-U^{-1}U_{ i}U^{-1})+\tau\frac{1}{l}\sum_{j=1}^{l}\mathrm{tr}(R_{j}^{-1}-U^{-1}R_{j}U^{-1}).\] (A24)  
As \(\
abla G(\tilde{U})=0\), we have  
\[(1-\tau)\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^{m}\mathrm{tr}(U_{i}^{-1}-\tilde{U}^{-1}U_{i} \tilde{U}^{-1})+\tau\frac{1}{l}\sum_{j=1}^{l}\mathrm{tr}(R_{j}^{-1}-\tilde{U} ^{-1}R_{j}\tilde{U}^{-1})=0.\] (A25)  
In order to acquire the linear term concerning \(\tau\), this study differentiates (A25) and sets \(\tau=0\), namely,  
\[\frac{1}{l}\sum_{j=1}^{l}\mathrm{tr}(R_{j}^{-1}-\overline{U}^{-1}R_{j}\tilde{ U}^{-1})+\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^{m}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\tau}\bigg{|}_{ \tau=0}\mathrm{tr}(U_{i}^{-1}-\tilde{U}^{-1}U_{i}\tilde{U}^{-1})=0.\] (A26)  
Note that  
\[\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\tau}\bigg{|}_{\tau=0}(\tilde{U}^{-1}U_{i}\tilde{ U}^{-1})=-\overline{U}^{-1}H\overline{U}^{-1}U_{i}\overline{U}^{-1}-\overline{U}^{ -1}U_{i}\overline{U}^{-1}H\overline{U}^{-1},\] (A27)  
we substitute (A27) into (A26) and take the trace of Equation (A26) to obtain the influence function of the SKLD mean that  
\[H=\frac{1}{2l}\sum_{j=1}^{l}(R_{j}-\overline{U}R_{j}^{-1}\overline{U}).\] (A28)

## Appendix B The Carbon Flux Module  
The carbon cycle in FORMIND is simulated using four separate carbon pools: the aboveground biomass pool, the deadwood pool (\(D\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\)), the fast (\(S_{fast}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\)) and the slow (\(S_{slow}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\)) decomposing soil pool [29]. The input to the deadwood pool is driven by tree mortality (\(M\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)). Microorganisms decompose the deadwood to soil with a specific degradation rate. The rate of decomposing defines if it accumulates into the slow (\(t_{D\to S_{slow}}\)) or fast (\(t_{D\to S_{fast}}\)) carbon soil stock (in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)). Due to decomposition, the deadwood pool (\(t_{D\to A}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)) and both soil carbon pools (\(t_{S_{slow}\to A}\), \(t_{S_{fast}\to A}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)) also emit carbon into the atmosphere. The change in the pools are calculated as follows:  
\[\frac{dD}{dt}=M-\Big{(}t_{D\to A}+t_{D\to S_{slow}}+t_{D\to S_{fast}} \Big{)}\cdot D\]  
\[\frac{dS_{slow}}{dt}=t_{D\to S_{slow}}\cdot D-t_{S_{slow}\to A}\cdot S_{slow}\]  
\[\frac{dS_{fast}}{dt}=t_{D\to S_{fast}}\cdot D-t_{S_{fast}\to A}\cdot S_{fast}\]  
To calculate the total ecosystem respiration (\(R_{co}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)), the soil and deadwood respiration (\(R_{h}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)) has to be added to the sum of respiration over all trees (\(R_{a}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)).  
\[R_{h}=t_{D\to A}\cdot D+t_{S_{slow}\to A}\cdot S_{slow}+t_{S_{fast}\to A} \cdot S_{fast}\]  
\[R_{a}=R_{m}+R_{g}\]  
\[R_{eco}=R_{a}+R_{h}\]  
The ecosystem \(GPP\) (Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)) is the sum of \(GPP_{tree}\) of all simulated trees. A fraction of the \(GPP\) is inspired back into the atmosphere via autotrophic respiration \(R_{a}\) which can be divided into maintenance respiration (\(R_{m}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)) for the maintenance of living cells and growth respiration (\(R_{g}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)) for the net gain of biomass. The difference between \(GPP\) and \(R_{a}\) is \(NPP\) (net primary productivity, in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)) of foliage, stem, roots, branches and other plant organs. The metabolism of dead organic matter by microbes leads to heterotrophic respiration (\(R_{h}\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)) into the atmosphere. The sum of \(R_{h}\) and \(R_{a}\) is the total terrestrial ecosystem respiration(\(R_{exo}\)). The difference between \(GPP\) and \(R_{exo}\) is the net ecosystem productivity (\(NEP\) in Mg C ha\({}^{-1}\) a\({}^{-1}\)). A positive \(NEP\) indicates the ecosystem as a carbon sink:  
\[NEP=GPP-R_{exo}\]
