TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and genetic algorithm optimized random forests (RFGA) methods to assess groundwater potential by spring locations.
Abstract: Regarding the ever increasing issue of water scarcity in different countries, the current study plans to apply support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and genetic algorithm optimized random forest (RFGA) methods to assess groundwater potential by spring locations. To this end, 14 effective variables including DEM-derived, river-based, fault-based, land use, and lithology factors were provided. Of 842 spring locations found, 70% (589) were implemented for model training, and the rest of them were used to evaluate the models. The mentioned models were run and groundwater potential maps (GPMs) were produced. At last, receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the efficiency of the methods. The results of the current study denoted that RFGA, and RF methods had better efficacy than different kernels of SVM model. Area under curve (AUC) of ROC value for RF and RFGA was estimated as 84.6, and 85.6%, respectively. AUC of ROC was computed as SVM- linear (78.6%), SVM-polynomial (76.8%), SVM-sigmoid (77.1%), and SVM- radial based function (77%). Furthermore, the results represented higher importance of altitude, TWI, and slope angle in groundwater assessment. The methodology created in the current study could be transferred to other places with water scarcity issues for groundwater potential assessment and management.

TL;DR: This work estimated population in 195 locations by single year of age and single calendar year from 1950 to 2017 with standardised and replicable methods and used the cohort-component method of population projection, with inputs of fertility, mortality, population, and migration data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple chemical precipitation method in aqueous solution was used to synthesize Ni, Ni(OH)2, NiO nanoparticles as well as Ni/Ni(OH)/NiO nanocomposites, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), TEM, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy.
Abstract: In this work Ni, Ni(OH)2, NiO nanoparticles as well as Ni/Ni(OH)2 and Ni/NiO nanocomposites were synthesized via a simple chemical precipitation method in aqueous solution. The prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Alternating gradient force magnetometer (AGFM) illustrated ferro-magnetic behaviour of Ni nanoparticles as well as Ni/Ni(OH)2 and Ni/NiO nanocomposites. The photocatalytic behaviour of Ni–NiO nanocomposites was evaluated using the degradation of organic dyes under ultraviolet light irradiation. The results show that Ni–NiO nanocomposites have applicable magnetic and photocatalytic performance.

TL;DR: The proposed approach can be applied to solve the harmonic-elimination problem with nonequal dc sources in a simpler manner, even when the number of switching angles is increased and the determination of these angles using the resultant theory approach is not possible.
Abstract: In this paper, the elimination of harmonics in a cascade multilevel inverter by considering the nonequality of separated dc sources by using particle swarm optimization is presented. Solving a nonlinear transcendental equation set describing the harmonic-elimination problem with nonequal dc sources reaches the limitation of contemporary computer algebra software tools using the resultant method. The proposed approach in this paper can be applied to solve the problem in a simpler manner, even when the number of switching angles is increased and the determination of these angles using the resultant theory approach is not possible. Theoretical results are verified by experiments and simulations for an 11-level H-bridge inverter. Results show that the proposed method does effectively eliminate a great number of specific harmonics, and the output voltage is resulted in low total harmonic distortion.
