Abstract As an important renewable energy source, wind power generation is highly stochastic and uncertain due to various environmental factors affecting its output.To raise the accuracy of wind power generation prediction, a bidirectional long short-term memory network combination model based on sparrow search algorithm and firefly algorithm optim
Engaging in research with Pacific communities as a non-Pacific researcher: reflecting on lessons learnt
ABSTRACTA key challenge for the cross-cultural researcher is how to maintain authenticity in the stories of participants, paying careful attention to any inherent power imbalances.In this article, we share our respective experiences of conducting research with Pacific students and their families in Aotearoa New Zealand as non-Pacific researchers.We
Changes in mean evapotranspiration dominate groundwater recharge in semi-arid regions
Groundwater is one of the most essential natural resources and is affected by climate variability.However, our understanding of the effects of climate on groundwater recharge (R), particularly in dry regions, is limited.Future climate projections suggest changes in many statistical characteristics of the potential evapotranspiration (Ep) and the ra
The Noisy and Marvelous Molecular World of Biology
At the molecular level biology is intrinsically noisy.The forces that regulate the myriad of molecular reactions in the cell are tiny, on the order of piconewtons (10−12 Newtons), yet they proceed in concerted action making life possible.Understanding how this is possible is one of the most fundamental questions biophysicists would like to un
A hybrid mode to enhance the downward route performance in routing protocol for low power and lossy networks
An IPv6 routing protocol for low power Window Hanging Suncatcher Ornament and lossy networks provides an IPv6 communication for a wide range of applications in multi-hop mesh networks.The routing protocol for low power and lossy networks defines the creation and management of downward routes with two modes of operations: storing and non-storing mod
