Fault slip and GPS velocities across the Shan Plateau define a curved southwestward crustal motion around the Eastern Himalayan syntaxis by Shi, Xuhua, Wang, Yu, Sieh, Kerry, Weldon, Ray, Feng, Lujia, Chan, Chung-Han, Liu-Zeng, Jing

“…Our observations of the fault geometry, slip rates, and arcuate southwesterly directed tongue‐like patterns of GPS velocities across the region suggest that the fault kinematics is characterized by a regional southwestward distributed shear across the Shan Plateau, compared to more block‐like rotation and indentation north of the Red River fault. …”

Prediction of international rice production using long short- term memory and machine learning models by Arya, Suraj, Anju, ., Nor Azuana, Ramli

“…By predicting its production, we can develop a global plan for its production and stock, thereby preventing issues like famine. This paper proposes machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models like linear regression, ridge regression, random forest (RF), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), categorical boosting (CatBoost), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), gradient boosting, decision tree, and long short-term memory (LSTM) to predict international rice production. …”
