Machine learning for predicting earthquake magnitudes in the Central Himalaya by Ram Krishna Tiwari, Rudra Prasad Poudel, Harihar Paudyal

“…We also checked the performance of these models by three parameters Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and noticed the better performance of RFR model. The findings illustrate that RFR is achieving better performance than the other two algorithms, as the predicted magnitudes are close to the actual magnitudes. …”

Discriminating the adulteration of varieties and misrepresentation of vintages of Pu’er tea based on Fourier transform near infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy by Zhenfa Yang, Zhenfa Yang, Xiaoping Lu, Lucheng Chen

“…For identification of varieties adulteration, the corresponding parameters were 98.9%, 97.2%, 96.7%, and 96.6%, respectively. These results illustrated the feasibility to identify the adulteration of varieties and misrepresentation of vintages of Pu’er tea with near infrared spectra and RBFNN model, proving an efficient alternative for Pu’er tea quality inspection, and offering a robust method for combating the pervasive issues within the market.…”

Model Reduction Technique Tailored to the Dynamic Analysis of a Beam Structure under a Moving Load by Yuanchang Chen, Bangji Zhang, Shengzhao Chen

“…Although this process increases computational burden, the overall computational time is still greatly reduced because of the small scale of motion equations. To illustrate and validate the methodology, the technique is initially applied to a simply supported beam subjected to a single-point load moving along the beam. …”
