Modified Whale Optimization Algorithm for Solar Cell and PV Module Parameter Identification by Xiaojia Ye, Wei Liu, Hong Li, Mingjing Wang, Chen Chi, Guoxi Liang, Huiling Chen, Hailong Huang

“…On the one hand, Levy flight can make the algorithm get rid of the local optimum and avoid stagnation; thus, it is able to prevent the algorithm from losing diversity and to increase the global search capability. On the other hand, pattern search, a direct search method, has not only high convergence rate but also good stability, which can boost the local optimization ability of the WOA. …”

A two-patch prey-predator model with predator dispersal driven by the predation strength by Yun Kang, Sourav Kumar Sasmal, Komi Messan

“…We provide completed local and global analysis of our model. Our analytical results combined with bifurcation diagrams suggest that: (1) dispersal may stabilize or destabilize the coupled system; (2) dispersal may generate multiple interior equilibria that lead to rich bistable dynamics or may destroy interior equilibria that lead to the extinction of predator in one patch or both patches; (3) Under certain conditions, the large dispersal can promote the permanence of the system. …”

Longyearbyen CO2 lab project—from a vision of a CO2-neutral Svalbard to a geoscience data eldorado by Kim Senger, Peter Betlem, Alvar Braathen, Snorre Olaussen, Gunnar Sand

“…The data were also key to the characterization of fluid flow and geothermal potential in Svalbard, deciphering past climatic changes, unravelling past tectonic events, some of relevance for understanding the plate tectonic evolution of the Arctic, as well as updating the global geological timescale. In this contribution, we briefly outline the history and main achievements of the Longyearbyen CO2 lab project, before describing, categorizing and openly sharing the publicly available data from the project, including peer-reviewed publications (123 so far) and theses (18 PhD and 34 MSc).…”
