Gross Tonnage-Based Statistical Modeling and Calculation of Shipping Emissions for the Bosphorus Strait by Kaan Ünlügençoğlu

“…These EPA-estimated values served as dependent variables in the modeling process. The modeling framework followed a three-step strategy: (1) outlier detection using Rosner’s test to reduce the influence of outliers on model accuracy, (2) curve fitting with 12 regression models representing four curve types—polynomial (e.g., linear, quadratic), concave/convex (e.g., exponential, logarithmic), sigmoidal (e.g., logistic, Gompertz, Weibull), and spline-based (e.g., cubic spline, natural spline)—to capture diverse functional relationships between GT and emissions, and (3) model comparison using difference performance metrics to ensure a comprehensive assessment of predictive accuracy, consistency, and bias. …”

Grid-connected PV inverter system control optimization using Grey Wolf optimized PID controller by Monika Gupta, P. M. Tiwari, R. K. Viral, Ashish Shrivastava, Basem Abu Zneid, Iryna Hunko

“…Conventional controllers such as P and PI are widely used in PV applications due to their simplicity, but they exhibit notable limitations in dynamic environments, including increased Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), slower transient response, and poor voltage regulation—particularly under variable irradiance conditions. The proposed GWO-PID method overcomes these limitations by leveraging the GWO algorithm’s global search capability to dynamically optimize the PID gains (Kp, Ki, Kd) based on a composite fitness function that minimizes Mean Squared Error (MSE) and THD. …”
