Abstract
Prediction of suspended sediment load (SSL) in streams is significant in hydrological modeling and water resources engineering. Development of a consistent and accurate sediment prediction model is highly necessary due to its difficulty and complexity in practice because sediment transportation is vastly non-linear and is governed by several variables like rainfall, strength of flow, and sediment supply. Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches have become prevalent in water resource engineering to solve multifaceted problems like sediment load modelling. The present work proposes a robust model incorporating support vector machine with a novel sparrow search algorithm (SVM-SSA) to compute SSL in Tilga, Jenapur, Jaraikela and Gomlai stations in Brahmani river basin, Odisha State, India. Five different scenarios are considered for model development. Performance assessment of developed model is analyzed on basis of mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), determination coefficient (R2), and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (ENS). The outcomes of SVM-SSA model are compared with three hybrid models, namely SVM-BOA (Butterfly optimization algorithm), SVM-GOA (Grasshopper optimization algorithm), SVM-BA (Bat algorithm), and benchmark SVM model. The findings revealed that SVM-SSA model successfully estimates SSL with high accuracy for scenario V with sediment (3-month lag) and discharge (current time-step and 3-month lag) as input than other alternatives with RMSE = 15.5287, MAE = 15.3926, and ENS = 0.96481. The conventional SVM model performed the worst in SSL prediction. Findings of this investigation tend to claim suitability of employed approach to model SSL in rivers precisely and reliably. The prediction model guarantees the precision of the forecasted outcomes while significantly decreasing the computing time expenditure, and the precision satisfies the demands of realistic engineering applications.

Abstract
The impact of the suspended sediment load (SSL) on environmental health, agricultural operations, and water resources planning, is significant. The deposit of SSL restricts the streamflow region, affecting aquatic life migration and finally causing a river course shift. As a result, data on suspended sediments and their fluctuations are essential for a number of authorities especially for water resources decision makers. SSL prediction is often difficult due to a number of issues such as site-specific data, site-specific models, lack of several substantial components to use in prediction, and complexity its pattern. In the past two decades, many machine learning algorithms have shown huge potential for SSL river prediction. However, these models did not provide very reliable results, which led to the conclusion that the accuracy of SSL prediction should be improved. As a result, in order to solve past concerns, this research proposes a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model for SSL prediction. The proposed model was applied for SSL prediction in Johor River located in Malaysia. The study allocated data for suspended sediment load and river flow for period 2010 to 2020. In the current research, four alternative models-Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network, Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random Forest (RF), and Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) were investigated to predict the suspended sediment load. The proposed model attained a high correlation value between predicted and actual SSL (0.97), with a minimum RMSE (148.4 ton/day and a minimum MAE (33.43 ton/day). and can thus be generalized for application in similar rivers around the world.

Abstract
In this research, the effect of a submerged multiple-vane system on the dimensions of flow separation zone (DFSZ) is assessed via 192 measured datasets. The vanes' shape comprised two segments, curved and flat plates which are located in the connection of main channel to the lateral intake channel with an angle of 55°. In this direction, a butterfly's array for the vanes' arrangement along with different main controlling factors such as distances of vanes along the flow (δl), degree of curvature (β), and angles of attack to the local primary flow direction (θ) is utilized. Through capturing photos and utilizing AutoCAD and SURFER software, maximum relative length and width are calculated. Based on the experimental measurements, maximum percentage reduction of DFSZ, in comparison with the controlled test (without submerged vanes), is obtained with θ = 30°, β = 34°, and δl = 10 cm with value of 78 and 76%, respectively. Moreover, several data-driven models, namely, gene expression programming (GEP), support vector regression (SVR), and a robust hybrid SVR with an ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO) (i.e., hybrid SVR-ACO model), are developed in order to predict DFSZ via the operative dimensionless variables realized by Spearman's rho and Pearson's coefficient processes. In accordance with the statistical metrics, model grading process, scatter plot, and the hybrid SVR(RBF)-ACO model are preferred as the best and most precise model to predict maximum relative length and width with a total grade (TG) of 6.75 and 5.8, respectively. The generated algebraic formula for DFSZ under the optimal scenario of GEP is equated with the corresponding measured ones and the results are within 0-10%.

Abstract
Promoting the use of agricultural wastes/byproducts in concrete production can significantly reduce environmental effects and contribute to sustainable development. Several experimental investigations on such concrete's compressive strength ([Formula: see text]) and behavior have been done. The results of 229 concrete samples made by oil palm shell ([Formula: see text]) as a lightweight aggregate ([Formula: see text]) were used to develop models for predicting the [Formula: see text] of the high-strength lightweight aggregate concrete ([Formula: see text]). To this end, gene expression programming ([Formula: see text]), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system ([Formula: see text]), artificial neural network ([Formula: see text]), and multiple linear regression ([Formula: see text]) are employed as machine learning ([Formula: see text]) and regression methods. The water-to-binder ([Formula: see text]) ratio, ordinary Portland cement ([Formula: see text]), fly ash ([Formula: see text]), silica fume ([Formula: see text]), fine aggregate ([Formula: see text]), natural coarse aggregate ([Formula: see text]), [Formula: see text], superplasticizer ([Formula: see text]) contents, and specimen age are among the nine input parameters used in the developed models. The results show that all [Formula: see text]-based models efficiently predict the [Formula: see text]'s [Formula: see text], which comprised [Formula: see text] agricultural wastes. According to the results, the [Formula: see text] model outperformed the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] models. Moreover, an uncertainty analysis through the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method was applied to the prediction results. The growing demand for sustainable development and the crucial role of eco-friendly concrete in the construction industry can pave the way for further application of the developed models due to their superior robustness and high accuracy in future codes of practice.

Abstract
One of the most essential difficulties in the design and management of bridge piers is the estimation and modeling of scouring around the piers. The scour depth downstream of twin and three piers were simulated using a new outlier robust extreme learning machine (ORELM) model in this study. Furthermore, k-fold cross-validation with k = 4 was employed to validate the outcomes of numerical models. Four ORELM models with effective scouring parameters were first created to simulate scour depth. After then, the number of hidden layer neurons increased from two to thirty. The number of ideal hidden neurons was determined by examining the modeling results. The sigmoid activation function was also introduced as the best function. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was used to identify the superior model. The best model predicted scour depth as a function of the Froude number (Fr), the pier diameter to flow depth ratio (D/h), and the distance between the piers to flow depth ratio (d/h). The values of the objective function were accurately approximated by this model. As a result, using the ORELM model, the R2, scatter index, and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient were calculated to be 0.953, 0.146, and 0.949, respectively. The most efficient parameters for simulating the scour depth were Fr and D/h, according to the modeling results. It is worth noting that nearly half of the superior model's simulated outputs had an inaccuracy of less than 10%. The superior model's performance has been underestimated, according to uncertainty analysis. After that, a simple and practical equation for calculating the scour depth was established for the superior model. Additionally, the influence of each input parameter on the objective function was assessed using a partial derivative sensitivity analysis.

Abstract
Evaporation is a crucial component to be established in agriculture management and water engineering. Evaporation prediction is thus an essential issue for modeling researchers. In this study, the multilayer perceptron (MLP) was used for predicting daily evaporation. MLP model is as one of the famous ANN models with multilayers for predicting different target variables. A new strategy was used to enhance the accuracy of the MLP model. Three multi-objective algorithms, namely, the multi-objective salp swarm algorithm (MOSSA), the multi-objective crow algorithm (MOCA), and the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), were respectively and separately coupled to the MLP model for determining the model parameters, the best input combination, and the best activation function. In this study, three stations in Malaysia, namely, the Muadzam Shah (MS), the Kuala Terengganu (KT), and the Kuantan (KU), were selected for the prediction of the respective daily evaporation. The spacing (SP) and maximum spread (MS) indices were used to evaluate the quality of generated Pareto front (PF) by the algorithms. The lower SP and higher MS showed better PF for the models. It was observed that the MOSSA had higher MS and lower SP than the other algorithms, at all stations. The root means square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), percent bias (PBIAS), and Nash Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) quantifiers were used to compare the ability of the models with each other. The MLP-MOSSA had reduced RMSE compared to the MLP-MOCA, MLP-MOPSO, and MLP models by 18%, 25%, and 35%, respectively, at the MS station. The MAE of the MLP-MOSSA was 2.7%, 4.1%, and 26%, respectively lower than those of the MLP-MOCA, MLP-MOPSO, and MLP models at the KU station. The MLP-MOSSA showed lower MAE than the MLP-MOCA, MLP-MOPSO, and MLP models by 16%, 18%, and 19%, respectively, at the KT station. An uncertainty analysis was performed based on the input and parameter uncertainty. The results indicated that the MLP-MOSSA had the lowest uncertainty among the models. Also, the input uncertainty was lower than the parameter uncertainty. The general results indicated that the MLP-MOSSA had the high efficiency for predicting evaporation.

Abstract
High loads of suspended sediments in rivers are known to cause detrimental effects to potable water sources, river water quality, irrigation activities, and dam or reservoir operations. For this reason, the study of suspended sediment load (SSL) prediction is important for monitoring and damage mitigation purposes. The present study tests and develops machine learning (ML) models, based on the support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithms, to predict SSL based on 11 different river data sets comprising of streamflow (SF) and SSL data obtained from the Malaysian Department of Irrigation and Drainage. The main objective of the present study is to propose a single model that is capable of accurately predicting SSLs for any river data set within Peninsular Malaysia. The ANN3 model, based on the ANN algorithm and input scenario 3 (inputs consisting of current-day SF, previous-day SF, and previous-day SSL), is determined as the best model in the present study as it produced the best predictive performance for 5 out of 11 of the tested data sets and obtained the highest average RM with a score of 2.64 when compared to the other tested models, indicating that it has the highest reliability to produce relatively high-accuracy SSL predictions for different data sets. Therefore, the ANN3 model is proposed as a universal model for the prediction of SSL within Peninsular Malaysia.

Abstract
Sediment transport in rivers is a nonlinear natural phenomenon, which can harm the environment and hydraulic structures and is one of the main reasons for the dams’ siltation. In this paper, the following artificial intelligence approaches were used to simulate the suspended sediment load (SSL) during periods of flood events in the northeastern Algerian river basins: artificial neural network combined with particle swarm optimization (ANN-PSO), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system combined with particle swarm optimization (ANFIS-PSO), random forest (RF), and long short-term memory (LSTM). The comparison of the prediction accuracies of such different intelligent system approaches revealed that ANN-PSO, RF, and LSTM satisfactorily simulated the nonlinear process of SSL. Carefully comparing the results, the ANN-PSO model showed a slight superiority over the RF and LSTM models, with RMSE = 67.2990 kg/s in the Chemourah basin and RMSE = 55.8737 kg/s in the Gareat el tarf basin.

Abstract
The agricultural sector is one of the most important sources of CO2 emissions. Thus, the current study predicted CO2 emissions based on data from the agricultural sectors of 25 provinces in Iran. The gross domestic product (GDP), the square of the GDP (GDP2), energy use, and income inequality (Gini index) were used as the inputs. The study used support vector machine (SVM) models to predict CO2 emissions. Multiobjective algorithms (MOAs), such as the seagull optimization algorithm (MOSOA), salp swarm algorithm (MOSSA), bat algorithm (MOBA), and particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm, were used to perform three important tasks for improving the SVM models. Additionally, an inclusive multiple model (IMM) used the outputs of the MOSOA, MOSSA, MOBA, and MOPSO algorithms as the inputs for predicting CO2 emissions. It was observed that the best kernel function based on the SVM-MOSOA was the radial function. Additionally, the best input combination used all the gross domestic product (GDP), squared GDP (GDP2), energy use, and income inequality (Gini index) inputs. The results indicated that the quality of the obtained Pareto front based on the MOSOA was better than those of the other algorithms. Regarding the obtained results, the IMM model decreased the mean absolute errors of the SVM-MOSOA, SVM-MOSSA, SVM-MOBA, and SVM-PSO models by 24, 31, 69, and 76%, respectively, during the training stage. The current study showed that the IMM model was the best model for predicting CO2 emissions.

Abstract
One of the most significant parameters in concrete design is compressive strength. Time and money could be saved if the compressive strength of concrete is accurately measured. In this study, two machine learning models, namely, boosted decision tree regression (BDTR) and support vector machine (SVM), were developed to predict concrete compressive strength (CCS) using a complete dataset through the previous scientific studies. Eight concrete mixture parameters were used as the input dataset. Four statistical indices, namely the coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and RMSE-Standard Deviation Ratio (RSR), were used to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed models. The results show that the BDTR model outperformed SVM model with the overall result of R2=0.86 and RMSE=6.19 and MAE=4.91 and RSR=0.37, respectively. The results of this study suggest that the compressive strength of high-performance concrete (HPC) can be accurately calculated using the proposed BDTR model.

Abstract
Predictions of pore pressure and seepage discharge are the most important parameters in the design of earth dams and assessing their safety during the operational period as well. In this research, soft computing models namely multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLPNN), support vector machine (SVM), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), genetic programming (GP), M5 algorithm, and group method of data handling (GMDH) were used to predict the piezometric head in the core and the seepage discharge through the body of earth dam. For this purpose, the data recorded by the absolute instrument during the last 94 months of Shahid Kazemi Bukan Dam were used. The results showed that all of the applied models had a permissible level of accuracy in the prediction of the piezometric heads. The average error indices for the models in the training phase were R2= 0.957 and RMSE= 0.806 and in the testing phase were equal to R2= 0.949 and RMSE= 0.932, respectively. The performances of all models except the M5 and MARS in predicting seepage discharge are nearly identical; however, the best is the MARS, and the weakest is the M5 algorithm.

Developing machine learning algorithms for meteorological temperature and humidity forecasting at Terengganu state in Malaysia. Sci Rep 2021; 11:18935. [PMID: 34556676 PMCID: PMC8460791 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-96872-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Accurately predicting meteorological parameters such as air temperature and humidity plays a crucial role in air quality management. This study proposes different machine learning algorithms: Gradient Boosting Tree (G.B.T.), Random forest (R.F.), Linear regression (LR) and different artificial neural network (ANN) architectures (multi-layered perceptron, radial basis function) for prediction of such as air temperature (T) and relative humidity (Rh). Daily data over 24 years for Kula Terengganu station were obtained from the Malaysia Meteorological Department. Results showed that MLP-NN performs well among the others in predicting daily T and Rh with R of 0.7132 and 0.633, respectively. However, in monthly prediction T also MLP-NN model provided closer standards deviation to actual value and can be used to predict monthly T with R 0.8462. Whereas in prediction monthly Rh, the RBF-NN model's efficiency was higher than other models with R of 0.7113. To validate the performance of the trained both artificial neural network (ANN) architectures MLP-NN and RBF-NN, both were applied to an unseen data set from observation data in the region. The results indicated that on either architecture of ANN, there is good potential to predict daily and monthly T and Rh values with an acceptable range of accuracy.

Abstract
Predicting the level of dissolved oxygen (DO) is an important issue ensuring the sustainability of the inhabitants of a river. A prediction model can predict the DO level using a historical dataset with regard to water temperature, pH, and specific conductance for a given river. The model can be built using sophisticated computational procedures such as multi-layer perceptron-based artificial neural networks. Different types of networks can be constructed for this purpose. In this study, the authors constructed three networks, namely, multi-verse optimizer (MVO), black hole algorithm (BHA), and shuffled complex evolution (SCE). The networks were trained using the datasets collected from the Klamath River Station, Oregon, USA, for the period 2015–2018. We found that the trained networks could predict the DO level of 2019. We also found that both BHA- and SCE-based networks could predict the level of DO using a relatively simple configuration compared to that of MVO. From the viewpoints of absolute errors and Pearson’s correlation coefficient, MVO- and SCE-based networks performed better than BHA-based networks. In synopsis, the authors recommend MVO- and MLP-based artificial neural networks for predicting the DO level of a river.

Abstract
The suspended sediment load (SSL) prediction is one of the most important issues in water engineering. In this article, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) and support vector machine (SVM) were used to estimate the SLL of two main tributaries of the Telar River placed in the north of Iran. The main Telar River had two main tributaries, namely, the Telar and the Kasilian. A new evolutionary algorithm, namely, the black widow optimization algorithm (BWOA), was used to enhance the precision of the ANFIS and SVM models for predicting daily SSL. The lagged rainfall, temperature, discharge, and SSL were used as the inputs to the models. The present study used a new hybrid Gamma test to determine the best input scenario. In the next step, the best input combination was determined based on the gamma value. In this research, the abilities of the ANFIS-BWOA and SVM-BWOA were benchmarked with the ANFIS-bat algorithm (BA), SVM-BA, SVM-particle swarm optimization (PSO), and ANFIS-PSO. The mean absolute error (MAE) of ANFIS-BWOA was 0.40%, 2.2%, and 2.5% lower than those of ANFIS-BA, ANFIS-PSO, and ANFIS models in the training level for Telar River. It was concluded that the ANFIS-BWOA had the highest value of R2 among other models in the Telar River. The MAE of the ANFIS-BWOA, SVM-BWOA, SVM-PSO, SVM-BA, and SVM models were 899.12 (Ton/day), 934.23 (Ton/day), 987.12 (Ton/day), 976.12, and 989.12 (Ton/day), respectively, in the testing level for the Kasilian River. An uncertainty analysis was used to investigate the effect of uncertainty of the inputs (first scenario) and the model parameters (the second scenario) on the accuracy of models. It was observed that the input uncertainty higher than the parameter uncertainty.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:26571-26583. [PMID: 33484461 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-12435-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Reliable and accurate prediction model capturing the changes in solar radiation is essential in the power generation and renewable carbon-free energy industry. Malaysia has immense potential to develop such an industry due to its location in the equatorial zone and its climatic characteristics with high solar energy resources. However, solar energy accounts for only 2-4.6% of total energy utilization. Recently, in developed countries, various prediction models based on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been applied to predict solar radiation. In this study, one of the most recent AI algorithms, namely, boosted decision tree regression (BDTR) model, was applied to predict the changes in solar radiation based on collected data in Malaysia. The proposed model then compared with other conventional regression algorithms, such as linear regression and neural network. Two different normalization techniques (Gaussian normalizer binning normalizer), splitting size, and different input parameters were investigated to enhance the accuracy of the models. Sensitivity analysis and uncertainty analysis were introduced to validate the accuracy of the proposed model. The results revealed that BDTR outperformed other algorithms with a high level of accuracy. The funding of this study could be used as a reliable tool by engineers to improve the renewable energy sector in Malaysia and provide alternative sustainable energy resources.

[PMID: 33918037 PMCID: PMC8070405 DOI: 10.3390/s21082628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 04/03/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Computation offloading is one of the most important problems in edge computing. Devices can transmit computation tasks to servers to be executed through computation offloading. However, not all the computation tasks can be offloaded to servers with the limitation of network conditions. Therefore, it is very important to decide quickly how many tasks should be executed on servers and how many should be executed locally. Only computation tasks that are properly offloaded can improve the Quality of Service (QoS). Some existing methods only focus on a single objection, and of the others some have high computational complexity. There still have no method that could balance the targets and complexity for universal application. In this study, a Multi-Objective Whale Optimization Algorithm (MOWOA) based on time and energy consumption is proposed to solve the optimal offloading mechanism of computation offloading in mobile edge computing. It is the first time that MOWOA has been applied in this area. For improving the quality of the solution set, crowding degrees are introduced and all solutions are sorted by crowding degrees. Additionally, an improved MOWOA (MOWOA2) by using the gravity reference point method is proposed to obtain better diversity of the solution set. Compared with some typical approaches, such as the Grid-Based Evolutionary Algorithm (GrEA), Cluster-Gradient-based Artificial Immune System Algorithm (CGbAIS), Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (NSGA-III), etc., the MOWOA2 performs better in terms of the quality of the final solutions.
