Abstract With the increasing proportion of renewable energy in China’s energy structure, among which photovoltaic power generation is also developing rapidly. As the photovoltaic (PV) power output is highly unstable and subject to a variety of factors, it brings great challenges to the stable operation and dispatch of the power grid. Therefore, accurate short-term PV power prediction is of great significance to ensure the safe grid connection of PV energy. Currently, the short-term prediction of PV power has received extensive attention and research, but the accuracy and precision of the prediction have to be further improved. More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Users of social networks can readily express their thoughts on websites like Twitter (now X), Facebook, and Instagram. The volume of textual data flowing from users has greatly increased with the advent of social media in comparison to traditional media. For instance, using natural language processing (NLP) methods, social media can be leveraged to obtain crucial information on the present situation during disasters. In this work, tweets on the Uttarakhand flash flood are analyzed using a hybrid NLP model. This investigation employed sentiment analysis (SA) to determine the people’s expressed negative attitudes regarding the disaster. More >

Abstract Forecasting travel demand requires a grasp of individual decision-making behavior. However, transport mode choice (TMC) is determined by personal and contextual factors that vary from person to person. Numerous characteristics have a substantial impact on travel behavior (TB), which makes it important to take into account while studying transport options. Traditional statistical techniques frequently presume linear correlations, but real-world data rarely follows these presumptions, which may make it harder to grasp the complex interactions. Thorough systematic review was conducted to examine how machine learning (ML) approaches might successfully capture nonlinear correlations that conventional methods may… More >

Abstract Digital forensics aims to uncover evidence of cybercrimes within compromised systems. These cybercrimes are often perpetrated through the deployment of malware, which inevitably leaves discernible traces within the compromised systems. Forensic analysts are tasked with extracting and subsequently analyzing data, termed as artifacts, from these systems to gather evidence. Therefore, forensic analysts must sift through extensive datasets to isolate pertinent evidence. However, manually identifying suspicious traces among numerous artifacts is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Previous studies addressed such inefficiencies by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into digital forensics. Despite the efforts in previous studies, artifacts were… More >

Abstract The pharmaceutical industry increasingly values medicinal plants due to their perceived safety and cost-effectiveness compared to modern drugs. Throughout the extensive history of medicinal plant usage, various plant parts, including flowers, leaves, and roots, have been acknowledged for their healing properties and employed in plant identification. Leaf images, however, stand out as the preferred and easily accessible source of information. Manual plant identification by plant taxonomists is intricate, time-consuming, and prone to errors, relying heavily on human perception. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques offer a solution by automating plant recognition processes. This study thoroughly examines cutting-edge… More >

Abstract Deception detection is regarded as a concern for everyone in their daily lives and affects social interactions. The human face is a rich source of data that offers trustworthy markers of deception. The deception or lie detection systems are non-intrusive, cost-effective, and mobile by identifying facial expressions. Over the last decade, numerous studies have been conducted on deception detection using several advanced techniques. Researchers have focused their attention on inventing more effective and efficient solutions for the detection of deception. So, it could be challenging to spot trends, practical approaches, gaps, and chances for contribution.… More >

Abstract Sensors, vital elements in data acquisition systems, play a crucial role in various industries. However, their exposure to harsh operating conditions makes them vulnerable to faults that can compromise system performance. Early fault detection is therefore critical for minimizing downtime and ensuring system reliability. This paper delves into the contemporary landscape of fault diagnosis techniques for sensors, offering valuable insights for researchers and academicians. The papers begin by exploring the different types and causes of sensor faults, followed by a discussion of the various fault diagnosis methods employed in industrial sectors.

Abstract The research examines fluid behavior in a porous box-shaped enclosure. The fluid contains nanoscale particles and swimming microbes and is subject to magnetic forces at an angle. Natural circulation driven by biological factors is investigated. The analysis combines a traditional numerical approach with machine learning techniques. Mathematical equations describing the system are transformed into a dimensionless form and then solved using computational methods. The artificial neural network (ANN) model, trained with the Levenberg-Marquardt method, accurately predicts values, showing high correlation (R = 1), low mean squared error (MSE), and minimal error clustering. Parametric analysis reveals significant… More >

Abstract Demand-responsive transportation (DRT) is a flexible passenger service designed to enhance road efficiency, reduce peak-hour traffic, and boost passenger satisfaction. However, existing optimization methods for initial passenger requests fall short in addressing real-time passenger needs. Consequently, there is a need to develop real-time DRT route optimization methods that integrate both initial and real-time requests. This paper presents a two-stage, multi-objective optimization model for DRT vehicle scheduling. The first stage involves an initial scheduling model aimed at minimizing vehicle configuration, and operational, and CO₂ emission costs while ensuring passenger satisfaction. The second stage develops a real-time scheduling… More >
