the majority of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions originate from cities, nonetheless, it is common to have inaccuracies and uncertainties in urban carbon emission measurement. Many countries have devoted much effort to improve the accuracy and consistency of urban emission data through improving measurement tools and inversion models. the paper presents achievements of research in the U.S and Europe, as well as discusses their technical impacts and obstacles. the paper provides an overwiew of the technical impacts and research gaps of CO2-USA network and the Carbosense CO2 sensor network in Switzerland, we discuss the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of greenhouse gas concentrations and explain the principles of carbon emission inversion method. the CO2-USA network applies an interdisciplinary approach to estimate urban carbon emission to simulate the transport process of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere. the Carbosense network employs dense networks to observe the changing process of carbon dioxide emissions via enhancing data quality of low-cost carbon dioxide sensors. the purpose of this paper is to propose a novel framework of GHG observing network which combines carbon emission estimation method and real-time greenhouse gas monitoring network. the framework applies in-situ sites and mobile observations to build high-resolution emissions inventories and gain greenhouse gas concentration mappings in the urban regions. It provides governments with reliable measurement results for planning research directions for carbon emission management in China over the next few years.(c) 2023 the Authors.

Soft manipulators have experienced a significant development over the past few years thanks to their versatility, compliance, and safety. Soft manipulators made of hyperelastic materials present a modeling challenge due to their combined geometric and material nonlinearity, alongside their leveraged compliance. this paper considers a thick cylindrical pneumatic actuator in the context of a soft parallel robot. the input pressure and the external axial force to which it is subjected are modeled. the analytical solutions for these models are then derived usingthe Yeoh strain energy density function. the advantage of usingthe Yeoh material model is guaran-teeing the existence of an analytical solution regardless of the material used for the fabrication of the cylindrical actuator. the accuracy of the models is evaluated using Finite Element Analysis, and a sensitivity analysis is also carried out to test their robustness. Finally, experimental results are provided and the importance of the material characterization is highlighted. the purpose of this work is to lay the foundation for future studies in modeling a soft parallel robot withthree soft thick cylindrical “legs”.

Predictive analytics is a widely used application of learning analytics, but many resource-constrained institutions lack the capacity to develop their own predictive models or rely on proprietary models trained in different contexts with little transparency. In this context, transfer learning holds promise for expanding reliable and equitable access to predictive analytics, but this potential remains underexplored given existing legal and technical constraints. In this paper, we examine transfer learning strategies in the context of retention prediction at two-year community colleges in the United States, which enroll the most postsecondary students from underserved communities with higher dropout rates than selective universities. We envision a scenario where community colleges can collaborate with each other and with four-year universities to develop retention prediction models under privacy constraints, and evaluate the risks and potential improvement strategies of cross-institutional model transfer for different stakeholders. using detailed administrative records from 4 research universities and 23 community colleges, which cover more than 800,000 students across 7 cohorts, we first identify performance and fairness degradation when source (external) models are deployed at a target institution without any localization. Fortunately, publicly available institution-level contextual information can be used to forecast these performance drops and offer early guidance for model portability. For model developers under data privacy regulations, sequential training that selects training institutions based on demographic similarities proves useful for enhancing the general fairness of resulting models without compromising performance. For target institutions without local data to fine-tune source models, we find that customizing evaluation thresholds for different sensitive groups is more successful than established transfer learning techniques at improving performance an

Creating precise soft computing techniques for estimating groundwater levels (GWL) to improve water resource scheduling and administration is crucial. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have significantly improved GWL projection over the last twenty years. this research briefly summarizes the most widely used Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and reviews the limited edition on AI approaches for groundwater level (GWL) modeling and estimation. Despite some flaws, the GWL temporal sequence in various groundwater can be effectively simulated and forecasted using AI methods if it is designed correctly. Examining these stages in the context of GWL modeling is advantageous due to the reliance of some phases of AI modeling on knowledge acquisition or iterative experimentation. the articles under review produced many limited and broad outcomes that can serve as valuable guidelines for scientists who wish to conduct comparative research in this area. this study also offers a few fresh concepts in the related field of inquiry for creating novel techniques and enhancing modeling quality.
While process models typically contain decisions, the common view is that decision aspects of business processes are best modeled separately from the process behavior to achieve reuse and reduce complexity. To facilit...
