The relations between sleep, time of physical activity, and time outdoors among adult women. by Kate Murray, Suneeta Godbole, Loki Natarajan, Kelsie Full, J Aaron Hipp, Karen Glanz, Jonathan Mitchell, Francine Laden, Peter James, Mirja Quante, Jacqueline Kerr

“…There was a significant interaction (p = 0.04) between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and time spent outdoors in predicting total sleep time but not for predicting sleep efficiency. Increasing time outdoors in the afternoon (versus morning) predicted lower sleep efficiency, but had no effect on total sleep time. …”

Evaluation of genetic algorithm alternatives for wind speed modeling using grey relational analysis by Hilmi Işık, Muhammet Burak Kılıç

“…The proposed alternatives to the GA method are evaluated based on Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS), coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion, and power density error (PDE) over three different wind speed datasets. The grey relational analysis is used in ranking the GA alternatives. …”
