The purpose of the work is to investigate the use of decision tree (DT) enhanced by bootstrap aggregates (Bag) and least-squares boosting (Lsboost) in modeling the organic matter of water according to its physicochemical parameters. An entire database of 500 samples of 21 physicochemical parameters, including organic matter, was used to build the D...

Computational methods and tools are a powerful complementary approach to experimental work for studying regulatory interactions in living cells and systems. We demonstrate the use of formal reasoning methods as applied to the Caenorhabditis elegans germ line, which is an accessible system for stem cell research. The dynamics of the underlying genet...

When oil is released into the oceans, spilled oil may get to the shoreline driven by wind and wave. This study comprehensively explored the effects of bentonite nanoclay on the oil behaviors in a water-sand system from both experimental and modeling perspectives. Four factors including nanoclay concentration, temperature, salinity, and pH have been...

In this paper, the mechanical properties of Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Boron Nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are studied systematically by using molecular dynamics simulations. CNTs are considered semi-metallic, whereas the BNNTs, of the large band gap, are considered to be insulators, regarding the difference in the electrical properties of CNTs and BN...

A signal, such as from a GNSS satellite or microwave sounding system, propagating in the randomly inhomogeneous ionosphere, experiences chaotic modulations of its amplitude and phase. This effect is known as scintillation. This article reviews basic theoretical concepts and simulation strategies for modeling the scintillation phenomenon. We focused...
Planting trees is widely considered an effective way to create a good urban wind environment, improve air quality, mitigate heat island effects, improve pedestrian wind comfort and reduce building energy consumption. To assess tree effects and find suitable tree setups in urban areas, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations can be used.

Different modeling approaches can be used to calculate excess deaths for the COVID-19 pandemic period. We compared 6 calculations of excess deaths (4 previously published [3 without age-adjustment] and two new ones that we performed with and without age-adjustment) for 2020–2021. With each approach, we calculated excess deaths metrics and the ratio...
A digital reconstruction of real-life trees could provide many benefits in fields such as botany, forestry management, biology, and urban planning. Plant growth modelling in particular would enable the analysis of plant structure and behaviour in a customizable, widely applicable and non-destructive manner. Although many data-driven plant reconstru...
