An improved permeability estimation model using integrated approach of hybrid machine learning technique and Shapley additive explanation by Christopher N. Mkono, Chuanbo Shen, Alvin K. Mulashani, Patrice Nyangi

“…The group method of data handling with differential evolution (GMDH-DE) algorithm was used to predict permeability due to its capability to manage complex, nonlinear relationships between variables, reduced computation time, and parameter optimization through evolutionary algorithms. Using 1953 samples from Gunya-1 and Gunya-2 wells for training and 1563 samples from Gunya-3 for testing, the GMDH-DE outperformed the group method of data handling (GMDH) and random forest (RF) in predicting permeability with higher accuracy and lower computation time. …”

Identification of the U-box gene family in peach (Prunus persica) and functional analysis of PpPUB20 in response to salt stress by Huiwen Zhang, Ruxuan Guo, Xiaoshuang Zhang, Chongyu Zhao, Junkai Wu, Xiao Xiao, Yanhong Shen, Chunsheng Liu, Gang Li, Kai Su, Kun Xiao, Chenguang Zhang, Libin Zhang

“…In this study, genome-wide identification and analysis of PUBs genes in cultivated peach were carried out, and the expression profiles of peach PUB genes in different tissues of peach as well as their responses under salt stress were also investigated.MethodsThe genome-wide identification of PUBs genes in cultivated peach was analysed by gene localisation, gene structure and evolutionary analysis. Subsequently, the expression profiles of PpPUB genes in different tissues of peach and the changes in the relative expression of peach PUB genes under ABA, GA3, IAA, 6-BA treatments, low-temperature stress and salt stress were investigated.Results and discussionIn this study, 51 U-box protein genes (PUB) were identified in the cultivated peach “SJZX” and divided into six groups. …”
