Research on Constraint Processing Method of High-dimensional Optimization Operation Problem of Cascade Reservoirs by Zhongzheng HE, Shuliang LI, Wei HUANG, Feng YAN, Jisi FU, bin XIONG

“…The intelligent optimization algorithm is a multidimensional linkage random search, which boasts a vast optimization space but suffers from low optimization efficiency. Therefore, this study introduces a constraint processing approach that integrates a penalty function with nested DPSA–POA and intelligent algorithms and applies it to the optimal flood control operation problem of cascade reservoirs in the middle reaches of the Ganjiang River, with decision variables extending to 2196 dimensions. …”

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. …”
