Functional adaptations of the rhizosphere microbiome for drought-tolerance promotion in common bean by Ana Vitória Reina da Silva, Izadora de Cássia Mesquita Cunha, Thierry Alexandre Pellegrinetti, Eduardo Henrique Marcandalli Boleta, Luis Felipe Guandalin Zagatto, Solange dos Santos Silva Zagatto, Caroline Sayuri Nishisaka, Teresa Maria Lorizolla Mafra, Camila Maistro Patreze, Gordon F. Custer, Francisco Dini-Andreote, Rodrigo Mendes, Siu Mui Tsai, Lucas William Mendes

“…Here, we investigated the rhizosphere microbiomes of drought-tolerant (BAT477, SEA5) and susceptible (IAC Milênio, IAC-Carioca 80SH) common bean cultivars (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under contrasting water regimes in mesocosm experiments to assess microbiome functional modulation under drought. Analysis of plant growth, physiological responses, nutrient dynamics, and rhizosphere microbial functional diversity revealed that drought-tolerant cultivars exhibited greater water management, minimal growth reductions, and enrichment of beneficial microbial functions, including genes linked to drought tolerance. …”

PCA-FSA-MLR Model and Its Application in Runoff Forecast by GUO Cunwen, CUI Dongwen

“…To improve the accuracy of runoff forecast,and establish a runoff forecast model combining principal component analysis (PCA),future search algorithm (FSA),and multiple linear regression (MLR),this paper reduces the dimensionality of the sample data by PCA,selects 8 standard test functions and simulates and verifies FSA under different dimensional conditions,optimizes MLR constant terms and partial regression coefficients by FSA,proposes a PCA-FSA-MLR runoff forecast model,constructs PCA-LS-MLR,PCA-FSA-SVM,and PCA-SVM models with dimensionality reduction processing by PCA and FSA-MLR,LS-MLR,FSA-SVM,and SVM without dimensionality reduction processing as a comparison model,and verifies each model through forecasting the annual runoff and monthly runoff in December of Longtan station in Yunnan Province.The results show that:①FSA has better optimization accuracy and global extremum search ability under different dimensional conditions;②The average absolute relative error of the annual runoff and monthly runoff in December of Longtan station through PCA-FSA-MLR model are 1.63% and 3.91% respectively,and its forecast accuracy is better than the other 7 models,with higher forecast accuracy and stronger generalization ability;③For the same model,the forecast accuracy after dimensionality reduction processing by PCA is better than that without dimensionality reduction processing,so the data dimensionality reduction by PCA is helpful to improve the forecast accuracy of models.…”

Novel Pythagorean fuzzy score function to optimize fuzzy transportation models by Ritu, Tarun Kumar, Jahnvi, Kapil Kumar, Nitesh Dhiman, M.K. Sharma

“…Through comprehensive numerical analysis, In Type-1 IVPFTP the cost dropped from 5.19 to 0.675, for Type-2 IVPFTP cost dropped from 0.2615 to 0.001869 and for Type-3 IVPFTP cost dropped from0.17435 to 0.0013879.Thereafter, it was observed that the proposed score function provides a more optimal transportation cost.Also, our findings demonstrate the significant cost reductions and improved decision-making capabilities across different types of IVPFTP models to highlight the efficiency of the proposed score function in handling uncertainty within the transportation problems.…”
