ANN Model-Based Simulation of the Runoff Variation in Response to Climate Change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China by Chang Juan, Wang Genxu, Mao Tianxu, Sun Xiangyang

“…To identify the impacts of climate change in the runoff process in the Three-River Headwater Region (TRHR) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, two artificial neural network (ANN) models, one with three input variables (previous runoff, air temperature, and precipitation) and another with two input variables (air temperature and precipitation only), were developed to simulate and predict the runoff variation in the TRHR. …”

The Comparison of Lately Proposed Harris Hawks Optimization and Jaya Optimization in Solving Directional Overcurrent Relays Coordination Problem by Jiangtao Yu, Chang-Hwan Kim, Sang-Bong Rhee

“…To test its performances in solving the DOCRs coordination problem, it is adopted in 3-bus, 4-bus, 8-bus, and 9-bus systems, which are formulated by three kinds of optimization models as linear programming (LP), nonlinear programming (NLP), and mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP), according to the nature of the design variables. Meanwhile, another lately proposed optimization algorithm named Jaya is also adopted to solve the same problem, and the results are compared with HHO in aspects of objective function value, convergence rate, robustness, and computation efficiency. …”

TOWARDS A CONCEPTUALISATION OF RESILIENCE IN SECURITY STUDIES by Zoran Kekovic, Vladimir Ninkovic

“…In security studies there are broadly two strands of thought – one that observes resilience as a desired state of the system, be it a nation, a community or infrastructure, and another one that proposes resilience as a risk management strategy that can be used when dealing with events characterized with a high degree of uncertainty.…”
