Landslide prediction is a critical task for ensuring public safety and preventing economic loss in regions prone to such natural disasters. Traditional models for landslide prediction often lack accuracy and precision because of the intricate interactions between various factors that lead to landslide events. To tackle this issue, we introduce an innovative hybrid approach for landslide prediction that combines Time Series Analysis (TSA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). TSA decomposes landslide displacement data into trend, seasonal, and residual components, improving the clarity of the data. GA optimizes the hyperparameters of SVM, ensuring the most effective application of the SVM. Finally, the SVM is trained on detrended data, producing a model capable of accurately predicting future landslides. Our experimental outcomes manifest that the TSA-GA-SVM model we advanced performs far better than the individual TSA and SVM models when it comes to forecasting landslide displacement. The hybrid model achieved a mean absolute error of 0.15 m compared to 0.42 m for TSA and 0.38 m for SVM alone. Sensitivity analysis revealed that increasing GA population size improved model stability, while higher mutation rates led to more variable predictions. The model showed good generalization ability, performing well across different regions and under various geological and hydrological conditions. This research not only advances the state of the art in landslide prediction but also provides a practical tool for authorities to implement in their disaster prevention and management strategies.

The challenge presented by simultaneous buffer and service rate allocation in manufacturing systems represents a difficult non-deterministic polynomial problem. Previous studies solved this problem by iteratively utilizing a generative method and an evaluative method. However, it typically takes a long computation time for the evaluative method to achieve high evaluation accuracy, while the satisfactory solution quality realized by the generative method requires a certain number of iterations. In this study, a data-driven hybrid approach is developed by integrating a tabu search–non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II with a whale optimization algorithm–gradient boosting regression tree to maximize the throughput and minimize the average buffer level of a manufacturing system subject to a total buffer capacity and total service rate. The former algorithm effectively searches for candidate simultaneous allocation solutions by integrating global and local search strategies. The prediction models built by the latter algorithm efficiently evaluate the candidate solutions. Numerical examples demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach. The proposed approach improves the solution efficiency of simultaneous allocation, contributing to dynamic production resource reconfiguration of manufacturing systems.

While the number of AIDS-related deaths continues to rise, efforts have been made to transform the disease into a manageable chronic condition. HIV protease inhibitors have become central to combination therapy. As a result, these inhibitors have become a major focus of anti-HIV drug development. This research takes a data-driven approach to drug development through the use of quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. A dataset of 450 anti-HIV drugs was used to construct and validate models. Using extensive validation methods and various machine learning algorithms, the results clearly showed that the "ET" regression outperformed the other models (“XGB”, “LGBM”, “DT”, “RF”, “GB”, “Bag”, and “HGB”) in terms of goodness of fit, predictivity, generalizability, and model robustness. Promising compounds were subjected to molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation, resulting in drugs with favourable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties that consistently interact with the therapeutic target.

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) of industrial machines depends on the continuous, real-time monitoring of the machine’s operational condition via smart sensors attached to different components on the machine. The problem of regularly spaced missing data, which can occur due to a variety of hardware or software issues, is one that is often overlooked in the literature surrounding CBM in industrial machines. Such missing data can cause issues in interpreting the true operational state of the machine, which can reduce the effectiveness of CBM processes. In this paper, we examine the capabilities of five data imputation techniques for handling this regular missing data and examine the impact these techniques have on machine learning (ML) classification algorithms for machine fault diagnosis. We examine the following techniques: simple mean imputation, mean imputation with outliers removed, best and worst-case imputation, and previous day imputation. Each of these methods is configured with the specific parameters that they will only consider data from the previous 24 hours, to ensure that the data is recent, and adequately represents the current status of the machine. The efficacy of each method at accurately reconstructing the missing data and the impact they have on ML classification is recorded in the results. The models are evaluated on a real-world dataset and are evaluated on a variety of common performance metrics.
