Abstract
The discrete element method (DEM) often uses the angle of repose to study the microscopic parameters of particles. This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization method combining realistic modeling of particles and image analysis to calibrate gravel parameters, after obtaining the actual static angle of repose (αAoR_S) and dynamic angle of repose (βAoR_D) of the particles by physical tests. The design variables were obtained by Latin hypercube sampling (LHS), and the radial basis function (RBF) surrogate model was used to establish the relationship between the objective function and the design variables. The optimized design of the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) with the actual angle of repose measurements was used to optimize the design to obtain the best combination of parameters. Finally, the parameter set was validated by a hollow cylinder test, and the relative error between the validation test and the optimized simulation results was only 3.26%. The validation result indicates that the method can be reliably applied to the calibration process of the flow parameters of irregular gravel particles. The development of solid–liquid two-phase flow and the wear behavior of centrifugal pumps were investigated using the parameter set. The results show that the increase in cumulative tangential contact forces inside the volute of centrifugal pumps makes it the component most likely to develop wear behavior. The results also illustrate the significant meaning of the accurate application of the discrete element method for improving the efficient production of industrial scenarios.

Abstract
This study draws attention towards the application of identification nanoparticle (NPs) sensor based on back propagation (BP) neural network optimized by genetic algorithm (GA) in the early diagnosis of cancer cells. In this study, the traditional and optimized BP neural networks are compared in terms of error between the actual value and the predictive value, and they are further applied to the NP sensor for early diagnosis of cancer cells. The results show that the root mean square (RMS) and mean absolute error (MAE) of the optimized BP neural network are comparatively much smaller than the traditional ones. The particle size of silicon-coated fluorescent NPs is about 105 nm, and the relative fluorescence intensity of silicon-coated fluorescent NPs decreases slightly, maintaining the accuracy value above 80%. In the fluorescence imaging, it is found that there is obvious green fluorescence on the surface of the cancer cells, and the cancer cells still emit bright green fluorescence under the dark-field conditions. In this study, a phenolic resin polymer CMK-2 with a large surface area is successfully combined with Au. NPs with good dielectric property and bioaffinity are selectively bonded to the modified electrode through a sulfur-gold bond to prepare NP sensor. The sensor shows good stability, selectivity, and anti-interference property, providing a new method for the detection of early cancer cells.
