Summary: Concrete is an economical and efficient material for attenuating radiation, with its density playing a crucial role in radiation shielding. The study identified thickness and density of concrete as the most influential parameters in radiation attenuation. The artificial neural network model outperformed the gene expression programming model in accuracy, showing a strong agreement between predicted and experimental results.

Summary: This study investigates the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) methods for predicting the California bearing ratio (CBR) of soils stabilized with alum sludge. Three AI methods, including two black box methods (artificial neural network and support vector machines) and one grey box method (genetic programming), were used to predict CBR, based on a database with nine input parameters. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of AI methods in predicting CBR with good accuracy.

Summary: The utilization of recycled coarse aggregate in concrete is an effective way to reduce environmental pollution, but the presence of adhered mortar on its surface affects its properties. A suitable mix design can enable the coarse aggregate to achieve the desired strength and be used in various construction projects. Employing supervised machine learning algorithms, gene expression programming, and artificial neural network can effectively predict the compressive strength of concrete.

Summary: This study aims to develop semi-empirical formulas for predicting the buckling loads of clamped and simply supported rectangular isotropic panels with central circular perforation under different ratios of biaxial loads. The empirical formulas were developed and evaluated using Gene Expression Programming (GEP), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Finite Element Method (FEM). A total of 714 data set, generated using the FEM, were used to establish and validate the empirical formulas. The study investigates the effects of perforation sizes, plate aspect ratios, and biaxial load ratios on the buckling strength of perforated panels. The proposed formulas provide a quick and easy estimation of buckling loads for perforated rectangular panels with acceptable accuracy, without the need for sophisticated calculations. The results of the empirical formulas were reasonably well compared to the results of finite element analysis (FE) and existing literature findings.

Summary: The open, interconnected, and shared operational characteristics of the energy Internet introduce more sophisticated cybersecurity attacks. Accurately detecting these cyber attacks is crucial for energy Internet security protection. This study utilizes gene expression programming (GEP) to optimize the parameters of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and proposes an intrusion detection algorithm based on GEP-CNN (GCNN-IDS). The experimental results demonstrate the high detection accuracy and performance of the optimized CNN-based intrusion detection algorithm.
