Intelligent Optimization Method of Shield Tunneling Parameters Based on Machine Learning
Aiming at the problems that the parameter setting in the process of shield tunneling depends on artificial experience and is difficult to adapt to complex and changeable geological conditions, this paper studies the intelligent optimization of shield tunneling parameters based on machine learning. Combined with the nonlinear and multi-factor coupling characteristics of shield construction, three machine learning algorithms, random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and BP neural network, are selected to construct a parameter optimization model with geological parameters and tunneling parameters as input and tunneling speed as output. The mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R²) were selected as evaluation indexes to evaluate the performance of the model. The results show that all three models can predict the tunneling speed, but the performance difference is significant. Among them, the random forest model performs best in nonlinear mapping and anti-interference ability through ensemble learning and feature random selection. Its R² reaches 0.967, and the prediction accuracy is significantly better than that of BP neural network and support vector machine model. This study provides an effective method support for intelligent prediction and dynamic optimization of shield tunneling parameters, and has practical reference value for improving the intelligent level of shield construction.

Transition from Reactive to Proactive Maintenance: A Data-Driven Approach for Expressway Asset Management
China's highways have fully entered a new stage of maintenance management. The traditional passive maintenance mode, which focuses on post repair and experience decision-making, has problems such as high cost, slow response, and rapid road condition degradation, making it difficult to meet the long-term operational needs of the road network. Promoting the transformation of highway asset management from passive maintenance to active maintenance has become an inevitable trend for the high-quality development of the industry. This article refers to the standardized academic paper architecture, systematically elaborates on the core differences between passive maintenance and active maintenance, constructs a data-driven framework with full lifecycle data as the core, multi-source perception as the support, and intelligent decision-making as the engine, studies the key implementation paths of data collection, fusion analysis, dynamic prediction, active decision-making, and closed-loop control, proposes a technology system and guarantee measures for transformation and implementation, aiming to provide theoretical and practical support for improving the quality and efficiency of highway asset management, extending facility life, and reducing full cycle costs.

Research on Book Borrowing Prediction Model Based on Transformer
With the increasing demand for intelligent library services, accurately predicting user borrowing behavior has become a key issue for optimizing resource allocation and improving service quality. Traditional prediction methods have significant shortcomings in long sequence modeling, feature interaction, and cold start scenarios. This paper proposes a book borrowing prediction model based on the Transformer architecture. It dynamically captures the long-term dependency of user behavior through the self-attention mechanism and combines book metadata and temporal context features to achieve multi-dimensional information fusion. Experiments show that it significantly outperforms the baseline model. The study further explores the application potential of the model in dynamic inventory management, personalized recommendation, and other scenarios, providing theoretical support and technical solutions for the intelligent transformation of libraries.

Adsorption of Methylene Blue and Congo Red by Silica Nanowires
Silica nanowires (SiO2 NWs) were prepared via a PVP‑Na3Cit‑TMOS system and used as adsorbents for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption of MB reached equilibrium within 20 min at 25 °C and pH 9.0, with a capacity of 155.0 mg/g, while CR achieved equilibrium within 45 min at 25 °C and pH 2.0, with a capacity of 60.8 mg/g. The adsorption processes followed the pseudo‑second‑order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating monolayer physical adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔG < 0, ΔH < 0) confirmed spontaneous exothermic adsorption. pH played a critical role: alkaline conditions favored MB adsorption due to enhanced electrostatic attraction, whereas strongly acidic conditions promoted CR adsorption. The SiO2 nanowires exhibited significantly higher affinity for the cationic dye MB, demonstrating promising potential for the treatment of cationic dye‑contaminated wastewater.

For two years in a row, 2025 and 2026, the electrical energy generated by PV constitutes about 10-12% of all electricity produced across the world [1]. Significant amount of solar energy was produced by the PV systems with fixed tilt. Only 40-45% of the PV energy was generated by sun tracking systems [2]. The amount of energy produced (in kWh/m2/day) is defined mostly by efficiency of solar panels. The second important factor of PV energy collection is the productivity of sun tracking, i.e. the control by algorithms of sun tracking. In the cost of energy units produced by solar panels there are some other economic factors to be considered, such as basic cost of tracking equipment, cost of maintenance and cleaning of panel surfaces. The initial low cost and maintenance of single-axis tracking systems (SATS), smaller basic size made this machinery dominant in sun tracking [3]. The methods of control of SATS and algorithms of usage at different weather conditions define real efficiency of tracking systems. Recently we developed instant measurements of sun irradiation using three optical sensors installed at sun tracker which cover entire sun spectrum [4]. As the scanner expected to make step from position “A” to position “B”, the control algorithm compares the sun intensity in both positions. The step is allowed if in the position “B” solar panels would gain energy. Various weather conditions are programmed in the algorithm what allows flexible tracking control [5]. In the current brief study, we subjected our novel control of sun tracking to be compared with other scanning systems by AI. Conclusions of AI analysis are presented.

Optimal Design of Fire Water Supply System for Automated Storage/Retrieval System of Automotive Rubber Product
Automated storage/retrieval systems for automotive rubber products usually have large racks and high storage density. Rubber products have dangerous characteristics such as high combustion calorific value, large amounts of smoke, and rapid fire spread. Once a fire occurs, it will cause serious casualties and property losses. At present, domestic fire protection design specifications for automated storage/retrieval systems of automotive rubber products are not yet complete, and systematic technical guidance is insufficient. In actual projects, there are common problems such as difficult system selection, complex pipeline laying, and difficult hydraulic calculations. Focusing on the above issues, this article focuses on discussing the main technical bottlenecks and their causes in the design of fire water supply systems, and proposes corresponding optimization strategies and solutions, in order to provide a reference for the formulation of fire protection plans, construction drawing design and engineering practice for similar projects in the future.
