In this research, the impact of climate change in the next 15 years (2036-2022) in the (LarDam) area has been investigated. The results showed that in the case of climate change under scenarios RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP8.5, the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature have increased by5, 5.23, 6.2% and 3.5, 5.6, 5.17%, respectively, and the amount of precipitation increased by 8.55, 9.5, 13%, respectively. Also, the highest rainfall will be in 2031 and the lowest will be in 2036. Then, based on the intermediate state of the scenarios, i.e. RCP4.5 scenario, the amount of runoff was obtained and the reliability index was calculated according to the upstream runoff of Lar Dam and downstream needs for drinking, agriculture, and environment. The simulation was also performed in the WEAP model. The obtained reliability showed that the highest reliability was 86.60% of the agriculture needs in the WEAP model, and by using the optimization of a honey badger and harmonic searchalgorithms, it was found that the reliability is approximately 5.06 and 1.73% higher than the reliability of the simulation, respectively. Moreover, in comparison with the optimization algorithms, due to the smaller value of the objective function of the honey badger algorithm and the greater reliability of this algorithm in optimizing downstream needs, it can be concluded that the performance of this algorithm was better than the harmonic searchalgorithm. The honey badger algorithm has a faster calculation speed than the harmony search algorithm with less execution time.

In general, the features of fake news are almost the same as those of real news, so it is not easy to identify them. In this paper, we propose a fake news detection system using a deep learning model. First, news articles are preprocessed and analyzed based on different training models. Then, an ensemble learning model combining four different models called embedding LSTM, depth LSTM, LIWC CNN, and N-gram CNN is proposed for fake news detection. Besides, to achieve higher accuracy in fake news detection, the optimized weights of the ensemble learning model are determined using the Self-Adaptive harmonysearch (SAHS) algorithm. In the experiments, we verify that the proposed model is superior to the state-of-the-art methods, with the highest accuracy of 99.4%. Furthermore, we also investigate the cross-domain intractability issue and achieve the highest accuracy of 72.3%. Finally, we believe there is still room for improving the ensemble learning model in addressing the cross-domain intractability issue. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Proper selection of ground motion records plays an important role in time history analysis of structural systems. Consistency of average response spectrum of a record set with the target spectrum is the only criterion, that normally is considered in code-based frameworks. However, a spectrum curve cannot represent all the characteristics of a seismic event. To improve the code-based ground motion selection method, the compatibility of three scalar frequency content intensity measures (Np, T-0, and T-avg) is integrated in the proposed selection method of this paper. The harmonysearch (HS) optimization algorithm is utilized to find the best ground motion set from a database and their corresponding scale factors. In order to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method on seismic demand estimation of structures, four steel moment resisting frames are used in the analysis (4, 6, 9 and 12-story). It is concluded that combinations of T-0 and T-avg with the code-based method are effective for low-rise and mid-rise buildings, respectively, since these methods give reliable responses with less error dissipation.

Neural networks (NNs) are one of the most widely used techniques for pattern classification. Owing to the most common back-propagation training algorithm of NN being extremely computationally intensive and it having some drawbacks, such as converging into local minima, many meta-heuristic algorithms have been applied to training of NNs. This paper presents a novel hybrid algorithm which is the integration of harmonysearch (HS) and Hunting search (HuS) algorithms, called h_HS-HuS, in order to train Feed-Forward Neural Networks (FFNNs) for pattern classification. HS and HuS algorithms are recently proposed meta-heuristic algorithms inspired from the improvisation process of musicians and hunting of animals, respectively. harmonysearch builds up the main structure of the hybrid algorithm, and HuS forms the pitch adjustment phase of the HS algorithm. The performance proposed algorithm is compared to conventional and meta-heuristic algorithms. Empirical tests are carried out by training NNs on nine widely used classification benchmark problems. The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid harmony-hunting algorithm is highly capable of training NNs.

In this paper a core reloading technique using harmonysearch, HS, is presented in the context of finding an optimal configuration of fuel assemblies, FA, in pressurized water reactors. To implement and evaluate the proposed technique a harmonysearch along Nodal Expansion Code for 2-D geometry, HSNEC2D, is developed to obtain nearly optimal arrangement of fuel assemblies in PWR cores. This code consists of two sections including harmony search algorithm and Nodal Expansion modules using fourth degree flux expansion which solves two dimensional-multi group diffusion equations with one node per fuel assembly. Two optimization test problems are investigated to demonstrate the HS algorithm capability in converging to near optimal loading pattern in the fuel management field and other subjects. Results, convergence rate and reliability of the method are quite promising and show the HS algorithm performs very well and is comparable to other competitive algorithms such as Genetic algorithm and Particle Swarm Intelligence. Furthermore, implementation of nodal expansion technique along HS causes considerable reduction of computational time to process and analysis optimization in the core fuel management problems.

This paper presents a novel multi-objective heuristic approach for the efficient distribution of 24-h emergency units. This paradigm is essentially a facility location problem that involves determining the optimum locations, within the existing health care centers, where to deploy 24-h emergency resources, as well as an efficient assignment of patients to such newly placed resources through the existing medical care infrastructure. The formulation of the underlying NP-complete problem is based on a bi-objective distance and cost metric, which is tackled in our approach by combining a harmony search algorithm with a grouping encoding and a non-dominated solution sorting strategy. Additionally, the nominal grouping encoding procedure has been redefined in order to reduce the dimension of the search space, thus allowing for a higher efficiency of the searching process. Extensive simulations in a real scenario - based on the geographic location of medical centers over the provinces of Guadalajara and Cuenca (Spain) - show that the proposed algorithm is statistically robust and provides a wide range of feasible solutions, hence offering multiple alternatives for the distribution of emergency units.

The spatiotemporal characterization of unknown sources of groundwater pollution is frequently encountered in environmental problems. This study adopts a simulation-optimization approach that combines a contaminant transport simulation model with a heuristic harmony search algorithm to identify unknown pollution sources. In the proposed methodology, an almost-parameter-free harmony search algorithm is developed. The performance of this methodology is evaluated on an illustrative groundwater pollution source identification problem, and the identified results indicate that the proposed almost-parameter-free harmony search algorithm-based optimization model can give satisfactory estimations, even when the irregular geometry, erroneous monitoring data, and prior information shortage of potential locations are considered.

This paper attempts to investigate the applicability of harmony search algorithm (HSA) to solve extremely challenging non-convex economic load dispatch problem with valve point loading effect, prohibited operating zones, ramp-rate limits, spinning reserve constrains and transmission losses involving variations of consumer load patterns. The performance of the proposed approach HSA has been tested successfully on the standard 6-bus, IEEE-14 bus and IEEE-30 bus system with several heuristic load patterns. The results of this study reveals that the proposed approach is able to find appreciable economical load dispatch solutions than those of improved fast evolutionary program and particle swarm optimization. Besides this, the transmission line losses are also considerably reduced and the computation time is reasonably even and less when compared to other methods.

This paper presents a new hybrid natural algorithm based on harmony search algorithm (HSA) and Quantum Computing (QC). The main features of the proposed algorithm called Quantum Inspired harmony search algorithm (QIHSA) is the integration of quantum representation scheme in the basic harmony search algorithm that allows applying successfully some quantum inspired operators like measurement and interference. This hybridization between quantum inspired computing and harmony search algorithm has led to an efficient hybrid framework which achieves better balance between the exploration of HS algorithm and the exploitation capabilities of the quantum inspired computing. Experiments on knapsack problems show the effectiveness of the proposed framework and its ability to achieve good quality solutions. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, a new approach based on novel heuristic algorithms is used to locate and model multitype flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices (series and parallel) in order to improve the total transfer capability and decrease the line congestion and total power loss. The multitype FACTS devices, including the static synchronous series compensator, static compensator, and unified power flow controller, have been optimally sized and located simultaneously through the harmony search algorithm (HSA). To achieve this purpose, a program in MATLAB code has been developed in order to extend the conventional Newton-Raphson algorithm for multitype facts applications. Since the optimization is multipurpose, an analytical hierarchy process is used to obtain the priority vector for each alternative. The HSA, with a good convergence property and more accurate results, can satisfy the objective function better. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using a modified 30-bus IEEE test system as well as Iranian 230 kV southeast regional grids in normal and contingency conditions. On the other hand, the optimization performance is compared with a genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. The simulation results illustrate that the proposed algorithm performs better than the other algorithms. Moreover, it is shown that simultaneous optimizations of multitype FACTS devices have more advantages than the separate optimization of single-type ones.
