Moreover, they need to accommodate the multiple goals of different industry sectors and the wider community. Traditional disciplinary approaches are unable to provide integrated management solutions, and an approach based on whole systems analysis is essential to bring about beneficial change to industry and the community. The application of this approach to water management, environmental management and cane supply management is outlined, where the literature indicates that the application of extreme learning machine (ELM) has never been explored in this realm. Consequently, the leading objective of the current research was set to filling this gap by applying ELM to launch swift and accurate model for crop production data-driven. The key learning has been the need for innovation both in the technical aspects of system function underpinned by modelling of sugarcane growth. Therefore, the current study is an attempt to establish an integrate model using ELM to predict the concluding growth amount of sugarcane. Prediction results were evaluated and further compared with artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic programming models. Accuracy of the ELM model is calculated using the statistics indicators of Root Means Square Error (RMSE), Pearson Coefficient (r), and Coefficient of Determination (R2) with promising results of 0.8, 0.47, and 0.89, respectively. The results also show better generalization ability in addition to faster learning curve. Thus, proficiency of the ELM for supplementary work on advancement of prediction model for sugarcane growth was approved with promising results.}, subject = {K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, language = {en} } @article{ShamshirbandBabanezhadMosavietal., author = {Shamshirband, Shahaboddin and Babanezhad, Meisam and Mosavi, Amir and Nabipour, Narjes and Hajnal, Eva and Nadai, Laszlo and Chau, Kwok-Wing}, title = {Prediction of flow characteristics in the bubble column reactor by the artificial pheromone-based communication of biological ants}, series = {Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics}, number = {volume 14, issue 1}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, doi = {10.1080/19942060.2020.1715842}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200227-41013}, pages = {367 -- 378}, abstract = {A novel combination of the ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO)and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data is proposed for modeling the multiphase chemical reactors.

As a result of transportation processes, the concentration of pollutants changes along the river. Various studies have been conducted to provide simple equations for estimating LDC. In this study, machine learning methods, namely support vector regression, Gaussian process regression, M5 model tree (M5P) and random forest, and multiple linear regression were examined in predicting the LDC in natural streams. Data sets from 60 rivers around the world with different hydraulic and geometric features were gathered to develop models for LDC estimation. Statistical criteria, including correlation coefficient (CC), root mean squared error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE), were used to scrutinize the models. The LDC values estimated by these models were compared with the corresponding results of common empirical models. The Taylor chart was used to evaluate the models and the results showed that among the machine learning models, M5P had superior performance, with CC of 0.823, RMSE of 454.9 and MAE of 380.9. The model of Sahay and Dutta, with CC of 0.795, RMSE of 460.7 and MAE of 306.1, gave more precise results than the other empirical models. The main advantage of M5P models is their ability to provide practical formulae. In conclusion, the results proved that the developed M5P model with simple formulations was superior to other machine learning models and empirical models; therefore, it can be used as a proper tool for estimating the LDC in rivers.}, subject = {Maschinelles Lernen}, language = {en} } @article{FaroughiKarimimoshaverArametal., author = {Faroughi, Maryam and Karimimoshaver, Mehrdad and Aram, Farshid and Solgi, Ebrahim and Mosavi, Amir and Nabipour, Narjes and Chau, Kwok-Wing}, title = {Computational modeling of land surface temperature using remote sensing data to investigate the spatial arrangement of buildings and energy consumption relationship}, series = {Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics}, number = {Volume 14, No. 1}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1080/19942060.2019.1707711}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200110-40585}, pages = {254 -- 270}, abstract = {The effect of urban form on energy consumption has been the subject of various studies around the world. Having examined the effect of buildings on energy consumption, these studies indicate that the physical form of a city has a notable impact on the amount of energy consumed in its spaces. The present study identified the variables that affected energy consumption in residential buildings and analyzed their effects on energy consumption in four neighborhoods in Tehran: Apadana, Bimeh, Ekbatan-phase I, and Ekbatan-phase II. After extracting the variables, their effects are estimated with statistical methods, and the results are compared with the land surface temperature (LST) remote sensing data derived from Landsat 8 satellite images taken in the winter of 2019. The results showed that physical variables, such as the size of buildings, population density, vegetation cover, texture concentration, and surface color, have the greatest impacts on energy usage. For the Apadana neighborhood, the factors with the most potent effect on energy consumption were found to be the size of buildings and the population density. However, for other neighborhoods, in addition to these two factors, a third factor was also recognized to have a significant effect on energy consumption. This third factor for the Bimeh, Ekbatan-I, and Ekbatan-II neighborhoods was the type of buildings, texture concentration, and orientation of buildings, respectively.}, subject = {Fernerkung}, language = {en} } @article{MosaviShamshirbandEsmaeilbeikietal., author = {Mosavi, Amir and Shamshirband, Shahaboddin and Esmaeilbeiki, Fatemeh and Zarehaghi, Davoud and Neyshabouri, Mohammadreza and Samadianfard, Saeed and Ghorbani, Mohammad Ali and Nabipour, Narjes and Chau, Kwok-Wing}, title = {Comparative analysis of hybrid models of firefly optimization algorithm with support vector machines and multilayer perceptron for predicting soil temperature at different depths}, series = {Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics}, number = {Volume 14, Issue 1}, doi = {10.1080/19942060.2020.1788644}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200911-42347}, pages = {939 -- 953}, abstract = {This research aims to model soil temperature (ST) using machine learning models of multilayer perceptron (MLP) algorithm and support vector machine (SVM) in hybrid form with the Firefly optimization algorithm, i.e. MLP-FFA and SVM-FFA. In the current study, measured ST and meteorological parameters of Tabriz and Ahar weather stations in a period of 2013-2015 are used for training and testing of the studied models with one and two days as a delay. To ascertain conclusive results for validation of the proposed hybrid models, the error metrics are benchmarked in an independent testing period. Moreover, Taylor diagrams utilized for that purpose. Obtained results showed that, in a case of one day delay, except in predicting ST at 5 cm below the soil surface (ST5cm) at Tabriz station, MLP-FFA produced superior results compared with MLP, SVM, and SVM-FFA models. However, for two days delay, MLP-FFA indicated increased accuracy in predicting ST5cm and ST 20cm of Tabriz station and ST10cm of Ahar station in comparison with SVM-FFA. Additionally, for all of the prescribed models, the performance of the MLP-FFA and SVM-FFA hybrid models in the testing phase was found to be meaningfully superior to the classical MLP and SVM models.}, subject = {Bodentemperatur}, language = {en} }
