Forecasting springtime rainfall in southeastern Australia using empirical orthogonal functions and neural networks by S. Marčelja

“…In addition to standard ocean climate indicators such as El Niño or the Indian Ocean Dipole, other typical patterns of variation are captured in terms of the temperatures of selected ocean areas. When characteristic patterns of correlation are discovered, they are included in the predictor selection in the form of expansion in terms of the empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs). …”

Mechanistic insights into phosphorus transformation mediated by Arthrobacter and Sordariomycetes under long-term high-volume swine manure application in a wheat-rice rotation syste... by Chunlong Zhang, Chunlong Zhang, Shuang Zhang, Xiaoyan Tang, Bin Zhang, Dejun Liu, Zepeng Yang, Rong Huang, Yingjie Wu, Qi Tao, Youlin Luo, Changquan Wang, Bing Li

“…And the soil treated with the prolonged high- volume swine manure application was selected to isolate and identify specific microorganisms, which were subsequently inoculated into soil previously treated with long-term NPK fertilizer (F) and swine manure application (M) for indoor cultivation and functional characterization verification.ResultsThe sustained high input of swine manure markedly enhanced soil P activity and microbial P content (P < 0.05), specifically extracting P-associated microorganisms, namely Arthrobacter sp. …”

Vehicular cache nodes selection algorithm under load constraint in C-V2X by Zhexin XU, Kaimeng GAO, Wenkang JIA, Yi WU

“…In order to solve the problem that the C-V2X vehicle topology in urban environment was highly dynamic and the load capacity of vehicle nodes was limited, and improve the utilization of vehicular cache resources and reduce the load of base station, a vehicle cache nodes selection algorithm under load constraints was proposed.Firstly, by defining the link stability metric, the predicted weight adjacency matrix was constructed to describe the vehicular micro-topology in essence.Next, the objective function was further constructed under the load constraints and non-overlapping coverage constraint, which maximized the average link weight of the clusters by using the least cache nodes.Finally, the greedy concept was then introduced and the node states were reasonably defined.As a result, the minimum dominating set of the vehicle topology was figured out under the load constraints.Besides, the serviced neighbor nodes were then determined preferentially.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is close to the global optimal results in terms of the number of cache nodes and the average weight of cluster links.Moreover, the repeated response ratio of the proposed algorithm is always zero while the request response ratio can achieve the theoretical upper bound.Furthermore, the response times of cache resources can be also effectively improved.…”
