Pipe failure rate prediction in water distribution networks using multivariate adaptive regression splines and random forest techniques
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019)
This paper presents the results of a comparison between multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) and random forest (RF) techniques in pipe failure prediction in two water distribution networks. In this regard, pipe ...

On Kummer Lines with Full Rational 2-torsion and Their Usage in Cryptography
(ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY, 2019)
A paper by Karati and Sarkar at Asiacrypt'17 has pointed out the potential for Kummer lines in genus 1, by observing that their SIMD-friendly arithmetic is competitive with the status quo. A more recent preprint explores ...
Bifurcation analysis of bistable and oscillatory dynamics in biological networks using the root-locus method
(INST ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY-IET, 2019)
Most of the biological systems including gene regulatory networks can be described well by ordinary differential equation models with rational non-linearities. These models are derived either based on the reaction kinetics ...
Comparative assessment of time series and artificial intelligence models to estimate monthly streamflow: A local and external data analysis approach
(ELSEVIER, 2019)
River flow rates are important for water resources projects. Given this, the current study explored the use of autoregressive (AR) and moving average (MA) techniques as individual time series models and compared them to ...
