Fault localization of a long power cable by Guo, Guoqiang

“…For one-port setup, the error is less than 1% for 5m and 10m power cable, and for two-port setup, error falls below 7% for both the power cable. Even though, the two-port setup error was more than that of one-port’s, the results between 300kHz and 15MHz are more unswerving, which is less distorted, making it more reliable. …”

“…The reconstruction exhibits significant precessional power in phase with boreal fall insolation strength over the 0-160 ky BP period, identifying precessional insolation forcing as the dominant driver of hydroclimate variability in northern Borneo on orbital timescales. …”

Multidecadal Morphodynamic evolution of shorelines and coral reefs along the Arabian Sea Coast of Oman: Bar Al Hikman Peninsula by Teillet, T, Bois, P, Homewood, P, Mettraux, M, Samimi-Namin, K, Vahrenkamp, V

“…Furthermore, with the ongoing global rise in sea level, a substantial portion of the peninsula is predicted to fall below the annual flood limit by 2050. This will result in the extensive landward migration of coastal sabkhas deeper into the peninsula's interior. …”

A Review of Genetic Algorithm: Operations and Applications by Md Isa, Faizatulhaida, Ariffin, Wan Nor Munirah, Jusoh, Muhammad Shahar, Erni Puspanantasari Putri, Erni Puspanantasari Putri

“…By facilitating the discovery of optimal or near-optimal solutions within large solution spaces, GA proves its mettle in scenarios where traditional methods fall short. The conclusion underscores the enduring relevance of GA in the optimization landscape, emphasizing their potential to remain a pivotal tool for addressing intricate real-world challenges, provided their parameters are fine-tuned judiciously to balance exploration and exploitation.…”
