The research indicates that the quality of built environments plays an important role in reducing mental disorders and overall health. The structure and shape of the city are considered as one of the factors influencing happiness and health in urban communities and the type of the daily activities of citizens. The aim of this study was to promote physical activity in the main structure of the city via urban design in a way that the main form and morphology of the city can encourage citizens to move around and have physical activity within the city. Functional, physical, cultural-social, and perceptual-visual features are regarded as the most important and effective criteria in increasing physical activities in urban spaces, based on literature review. The environmental quality of urban spaces and their role in the physical activities of citizens in urban spaces were assessed by using the questionnaire tool and analytical network process (ANP) of structural equation modeling. Further, the space syntax method was utilized to evaluate the role of the spatial integration of urban spaces on improving physical activities. Based on the results, consideration of functional diversity, spatial flexibility and integration, security, and the aesthetic and visual quality of urban spaces plays an important role in improving the physical health of citizens in urban spaces. Further, more physical activities, including motivation for walking and the sense of public health and happiness, were observed in the streets having higher linkage and space syntax indexes with their surrounding texture.}, subject = {Morphologie}, language = {en} } @article{DehghaniSalehiMosavietal., author = {Dehghani, Majid and Salehi, Somayeh and Mosavi, Amir and Nabipour, Narjes and Shamshirband, Shahaboddin and Ghamisi, Pedram}, title = {Spatial Analysis of Seasonal Precipitation over Iran: Co-Variation with Climate Indices}, series = {ISPRS, International Journal of Geo-Information}, volume = {2020}, journal = {ISPRS, International Journal of Geo-Information}, number = {Volume 9, Issue 2, 73}, publisher = {MDPI}, doi = {10.3390/ijgi9020073}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200128-40740}, pages = {23}, abstract = {Temporary changes in precipitation may lead to sustained and severe drought or massive floods in different parts of the world. Knowing the variation in precipitation can effectively help the water resources decision-makers in water resources management. Large-scale circulation drivers have a considerable impact on precipitation in different parts of the world. In this research, the impact of El Ni{\~n}o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on seasonal precipitation over Iran was investigated. For this purpose, 103 synoptic stations with at least 30 years of data were utilized. The Spearman correlation coefficient between the indices in the previous 12 months with seasonal precipitation was calculated, and the meaningful correlations were extracted. Then, the month in which each of these indices has the highest correlation with seasonal precipitation was determined. Finally, the overall amount of increase or decrease in seasonal precipitation due to each of these indices was calculated. Results indicate the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), NAO, and PDO have the most impact on seasonal precipitation, respectively. Additionally, these indices have the highest impact on the precipitation in winter, autumn, spring, and summer, respectively. SOI has a diverse impact on winter precipitation compared to the PDO and NAO, while in the other seasons, each index has its special impact on seasonal precipitation. Generally, all indices in different phases may decrease the seasonal precipitation up to 100\%. However, the seasonal precipitation may increase more than 100\% in different seasons due to the impact of these indices. The results of this study can be used effectively in water resources management and especially in dam operation.}, subject = {Maschinelles Lernen}, language = {en} } @article{NabipourDehghaniMosavietal., author = {Nabipour, Narjes and Dehghani, Majid and Mosavi, Amir and Shamshirband, Shahaboddin}, title = {Short-Term Hydrological Drought Forecasting Based on Different Nature-Inspired Optimization Algorithms Hybridized With Artificial Neural Networks}, series = {IEEE Access}, volume = {2020}, journal = {IEEE Access}, number = {volume 8}, publisher = {IEEE}, doi = {10.1109/ACCESS.2020.2964584}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200213-40796}, pages = {15210 -- 15222}, abstract = {Hydrological drought forecasting plays a substantial role in water resources management.

This paper deals with the mathematical modeling of the results of laboratory-scale experiments to estimate the extreme pressures. Experiments were carried out on a smooth stilling basin underneath free hydraulic jumps downstream of an Ogee spillway. From the probability distribution of measured instantaneous pressures, pressures with different probabilities could be determined. It was verified that maximum pressure fluctuations, and the negative pressures, are located at the positions near the spillway toe. Also, minimum pressure fluctuations are located at the downstream of hydraulic jumps. It was possible to assess the cumulative curves of pressure data related to the characteristic points along the basin, and different Froude numbers. To benchmark the results, the dimensionless forms of statistical parameters include mean pressures (P*m), the standard deviations of pressure fluctuations (σ*X), pressures with different non-exceedance probabilities (P*k\%), and the statistical coefficient of the probability distribution (Nk\%) were assessed. It was found that an existing method can be used to interpret the present data, and pressure distribution in similar conditions, by using a new second-order fractional relationships for σ*X, and Nk\%. The values of the Nk\% coefficient indicated a single mean value for each probability.}, subject = {Maschinelles Lernen}, language = {en} } @article{SadeghzadehMaddahAhmadietal., author = {Sadeghzadeh, Milad and Maddah, Heydar and Ahmadi, Mohammad Hossein and Khadang, Amirhosein and Ghazvini, Mahyar and Mosavi, Amir Hosein and Nabipour, Narjes}, title = {Prediction of Thermo-Physical Properties of TiO2-Al2O3/Water Nanoparticles by Using Artificial Neural Network}, series = {Nanomaterials}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Nanomaterials}, number = {Volume 10, Issue 4, 697}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/nano10040697}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200421-41308}, abstract = {In this paper, an artificial neural network is implemented for the sake of predicting the thermal conductivity ratio of TiO2-Al2O3/water nanofluid. TiO2-Al2O3/water in the role of an innovative type of nanofluid was synthesized by the sol-gel method. The results indicated that 1.5 vol.\% of nanofluids enhanced the thermal conductivity by up to 25\%. It was shown that the heat transfer coefficient was linearly augmented with increasing nanoparticle concentration, but its variation with temperature was nonlinear. It should be noted that the increase in concentration may cause the particles to agglomerate, and then the thermal conductivity is reduced. The increase in temperature also increases the thermal conductivity, due to an increase in the Brownian motion and collision of particles. In this research, for the sake of predicting the thermal conductivity of TiO2-Al2O3/water nanofluid based on volumetric concentration and temperature functions, an artificial neural network is implemented. In this way, for predicting thermal conductivity, SOM (self-organizing map) and BP-LM (Back Propagation-Levenberq-Marquardt) algorithms were used. Based on the results obtained, these algorithms can be considered as an exceptional tool for predicting thermal conductivity. Additionally, the correlation coefficient values were equal to 0.938 and 0.98 when implementing the SOM and BP-LM algorithms, respectively, which is highly acceptable.

For this purpose, 13 independent variables affecting GES in the study area, namely, altitude, slope, aspect, plan curvature, profile curvature, drainage density, distance from a river, land use, soil, lithology, rainfall, stream power index (SPI), and topographic wetness index (TWI), were prepared. A total of 132 gully erosion locations were identified during field visits. To implement the proposed model, the dataset was divided into the two categories of training (70\%) and testing (30\%). The results indicate that the area under the curve (AUC) value from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) considering the testing datasets of PSO-DLNN is 0.89, which indicates superb accuracy. The rest of the models are associated with optimal accuracy and have similar results to the PSO-DLNN model; the AUC values from ROC of DLNN, SVM, and ANN for the testing datasets are 0.87, 0.85, and 0.84, respectively. The efficiency of the proposed model in terms of prediction of GES was increased. Therefore, it can be concluded that the DLNN model and its ensemble with the PSO algorithm can be used as a novel and practical method to predict gully erosion susceptibility, which can help planners and managers to manage and reduce the risk of this phenomenon.}, subject = {Geoinformatik}, language = {en} } @article{ShabaniSamadianfardSattarietal., author = {Shabani, Sevda and Samadianfard, Saeed and Sattari, Mohammad Taghi and Mosavi, Amir and Shamshirband, Shahaboddin and Kmet, Tibor and V{\´a}rkonyi-K{\´o}czy, Annam{\´a}ria R.}, title = {Modeling Pan Evaporation Using Gaussian Process Regression K-Nearest Neighbors Random Forest and Support Vector Machines; Comparative Analysis}, series = {Atmosphere}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Atmosphere}, number = {Volume 11, Issue 1, 66}, doi = {10.3390/atmos11010066}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200110-40561}, pages = {17}, abstract = {Evaporation is a very important process; it is one of the most critical factors in agricultural, hydrological, and meteorological studies.
