Another Continental Vulture Crisis: Africa's Vultures Collapsing toward Extinction

Conservation Letters, 2016
Vultures provide critical ecosystem services, yet populations of many species have collapsed worldwide. We present the first estimates of a 30‐year Pan‐African vulture decline, confirming that declines have occurred on a scale broadly comparable with ...

An ameliorated African vulture optimization algorithm to diagnose the rolling bearing defects

Measurement science and technology, 2022
In this work, a novel bearing fault identification scheme making use of deep learning has been proposed. Initially, the raw vibration signal is passed through a time-varying filter based empirical mode decomposition (TVF-EMD) to obtain different modes ...

S‐shaped and V‐shaped binary African vulture optimization algorithm for feature selection

Expert Syst. J. Knowl. Eng., 2022
The African vulture optimization algorithm (AVOA) is a recently developed metaheuristic algorithm that imitates the eating and movement patterns of authentic African vultures. AVOA is developed to address the continuous optimization problem.
