Solar radiation forecasting using ad-hoc time series preprocessing and neural networks

, 2009
In this paper, we present an application of neural networks in the renewable energy domain. We have developed a methodology for the daily prediction of global solar radiation on a horizontal surface. We use an ad-hoc time series preprocessing and a Multi-

How self-regulation, the storage effect and their interaction contribute to coexistence in stochastic and seasonal environments [PDF]

, 2019
Explaining coexistence in species-rich communities of primary producers remains a challenge for ecologists because of their likely competition for shared resources.

A Comparative Study on the Irrigation Suitability of Kerala's Rivers Using Fuzzy AHP and Conventional Methods

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food security in Kerala depends on effective irrigation, but poor‐quality irrigation water poses threats such as salinity, sodicity and reduced soil productivity. Although past assessments have been localised, this study presents the first comprehensive, statewide evaluation of irrigation water suitability across 44 major rivers in Kerala.

Managing water resources and aquatic invaders: Public preferences, stakeholder perspectives, and policy implications

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract Aquatic invasive species threaten water resources by reducing biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems, and impeding recreation. Managing these invaders is challenging due to public concerns over chemical control methods and conflicting stakeholder preferences.

Building Approvals as a Leading Indicator of Property Sector Investment

The International Journal of Banking and Finance, 2012
Overall, building approvals for new houses (BANHs) are viewed by most economic analysts/commentators as a leading indicator of property investment due to the importance of this sector to the whole economy and employment.

Structure and Functional Diversity of Surface Bacterioplankton Communities in an Overwintering Habitat for Large Yellow Croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea, of the Southern East China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Given the biogeochemical functions of marine microbes, the structure and functional diversity of bacterioplankton communities could be regarded as bioindicators that reflect environmental quality.

Deterministic Seasonality versus Seasonal Fractional Integration [PDF]

We propose in this article the use of a testing procedure due to Robinson (1994) for testing deterministic seasonality versus seasonal fractional integration.

Toward an idiographic understanding of the role of sleep‐mood dynamics in adolescents' internalizing symptoms

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adolescence is marked by increased vulnerability to sleep disturbances and mood disorders. Understanding how day‐to‐day changes in sleep and mood are linked within the same individual is crucial for clarifying sleep's role in emerging internalizing disorders. However, the extent to which an adolescent's fluctuations in sleep predict

A spatio-temporal weather generator for the temperature over France [PDF]

Advances in Statistical Climatology, Meteorology and Oceanography
Stochastic weather generators are efficient statistical models producing synthetic weather series by replicating key statistical properties without the computational cost of physical models. However, for applications requiring temperature simulation over

Deterministic Seasonality in Dickey-Fuller Tests: Should We Care? [PDF]

This paper investigates the properties of Dickey-Fuller tests for seasonally unadjusted quarterly data when deterministic seasonality is present but it is neglected in the test regression.
