Abstract:
With the development of society along with an escalating population, the concerns regarding public health have cropped up. The quality of air becomes primary concern regarding constant increase in the number of vehicles and industrial development. With this concern, several indices have been proposed to indicate the pollutant concentrations. In this paper, we present a mathematical framework to formulate a Cumulative Index (CI) on the basis of an individual concentration of four major pollutants (SO2, NO2, PM2.5, and PM10). Further, a supervised learning algorithm based classifier is proposed. This classifier employs support vector machine (SVM) to classify air quality into two types, that is, good or harmful. The potential inputs for this classifier are the calculated values of CIs. The efficacy of the classifier is tested on the real data of three locations: Kolkata, Delhi, and Bhopal. It is observed that the classifier performs well to classify the quality of air.

Abstract:
Abstract The paper demonstrates a dependency between the annual average daily air temperature course (cycle) in Warsaw and the profile of annual solar activity linked to rotation (with a period of 25–31 days). Waves of cold (ΔT <0) or heat (ΔT ≥ 0) were defined as ΔT deviations of daily average temperature (T) using a regression sinusoid f (t) with a period of 365 days. Cold waves were found to generally occur at times of low daily average solar activity (relative to 60-year average), while hot waves tended to coincide with high Wolf numbers. The cycles of the variables were derived using the sinusoid regression method (Boryczka 1998). The maximum sinusoid regression of the annual air-temperature cycle T is delayed by nearly one month vis-à-vis the maximum declination of the Sun. The maximum of the regression sinusoid of daily average Wolf numbers (W) was delayed from the maximum declination by more than two months.

Abstract:
Maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma is an invasive tumour that is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, where the majority of patients have a very low prognosis and survival rate. We present a case of maxillary sinus carcinoma that affected the entire orbit, resulting in proptosis of the eye and nasal cavity. The patient was recommended for palliative treatment due to the high degree of its involvement and proximity to vital structures. It manifests with very mild to no signs, resulting in a late diagnosis. As a result, physicians must be mindful of maxillary sinus pathologies to make an early diagnosis. Paranasal sinuses are air-filled spaces located close to vital structures such as visual organs and the face. Maxillary, ethmoidal, frontal, and sphenoidal are the 4 paranasal sinuses that are named according to the bones in which they are situated. Nasal cavity and paranasal air sinus malignancies are uncommon. According to the literature, paranasal sinus malignancies account for less than 1 % of all human malignancies and 3 % of the total malignancies of the head and neck region. However, the maxillary sinus is the most frequent site of origin of primary malignant tumours amongst the paranasal sinuses.1 we need to raise general awareness among the oral stomatologists as Asian countries report a very high incidence of maxillary sinus carcinoma.2 The incidence of malignancies in maxillary sinus is high (60 % - 70 %) and less in the nasal cavity (12 % - 25 %), the Ethmoid (10 % - 15 %) and very rare in sphenoid / frontal sinuses (1 %).3 Further, not only the malignancies of maxillary sinuses are common, but they also incur the worst prognosis. Maxillary sinus carcinomas have very few symptoms and are similar to those of chronic paranasal sinusitis. They usually present themselves as locally advanced diseases. 4,5 Paranasal sinus malignancies are difficult to diagnose in the early stages and 90 % of cases are reported in T3 / T4 advanced stage.6 Environmental factors such as industrial pollutants, dust, smoke, and adhesives are the leading causes for the development of disease.7 Thus, sinonasal malignant tumours are rare and pose a challenge in diagnosis as well as treatment. Therefore, maxillofacial specialists should be aware of the signs and symptoms of this rarely occurring disease. This article presents a rare case of a 45-year-old female who reported to our OPD with a complaint of swelling in the right zygomatic area and proptosis of the right eye.

Abstract:
To perform air missions with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm is a significant trend in warfare. The task assignment among the UAV swarm is one of the key issues in such missions. This paper proposes PSO-GA-DWPA (discrete wolf pack algorithm with the principles of particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm) to solve the task assignment of a UAV swarm with fast convergence speed. The PSO-GA-DWPA is confirmed with three different ground-attack scenarios by experiments. The comparative results show that the improved algorithm not only converges faster than the original WPA and PSO, but it also exhibits excellent search quality in high-dimensional space.

Abstract The objective of the work is to determine the periodicity and trends of change in air temperature and precipitation in Poland in the time period of the 18th-20th centuries, together with the forecast for the 21st century. There are interesting diagrams of the temporal changes of solar activity and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) indicator, with the forecast reaching the year 2100. The forecasts were obtained on the basis of interpretations of the Wolf number and NAO indicator cycles, determined with the method of “regression sinusoids”. The fluctuations of the air temperature and precipitations during winter in Warsaw and in Cracow are closely correlated.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to develop an efficient drying technology for poria cubes in order to improve product quality. Poria cubes were dried using different methods, including air impingement drying, infrared-assisted air impingement drying, vacuum drying, two-stage vacuum drying, and infrared-assisted air impingement drying. The results were compared with those from hot air drying. For the two-stage drying, the tested conditions were the first stage of vacuum drying with temperatures between 65–85 °C and a switching moisture ratio of 70–90%. The second stage infrared-assisted air impingement drying also had temperatures 65–85 °C. The drying kinetics (effective moisture diffusivity (Deff), Biot number (Bi), and mass transfer coefficient (k) were studied via the product qualities (broken ratio, firmness, microstructure, and water-soluble polysaccharide content) and specific energy consumption (SEC) of the drying processes. The results showed that two-stage drying led to the lowest drying time and energy consumption, and also obtained the best qualities. Box–Behnken experimental design with response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the two-stage operating conditions as 82 °C under vacuum drying until a moisture content of 81% and a temperature of 69 °C with infrared-assisted air impingement drying was achieved. These findings suggested that two-stage vacuum and infrared-assisted air impingement drying is a promising method for producing high quality and energy efficient dried poria cubes.

Abstract:
Solar energy is a safe, clean, environmentally-friendly and renewable energy source without any carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Therefore, there are many studies in the field of solar energy in order to obtain the maximum solar radiation during the day time, to estimate the amount of solar energy to be produced, and to increase the efficiency of solar energy systems. In this study, it was aimed to predict the daily photovoltaic power production using air temperature, relative humidity, total horizontal solar radiation and diffuse horizontal solar radiation parameters as multi-tupled inputs. For this purpose, grey wolf, ant lion and whale optimization algorithms were integrated to the multilayer perceptron. In addition, the effects of sigmoid, sinus and hyperbolic tangent activation functions on the prediction performance were analyzed in detail. As a result of overall accuracy indictors achieved, the grey wolf optimization algorithm-based multilayer perceptron model was found to be more successful and competitive for the daily photovoltaic power prediction. Furthermore, many meaningful patterns were revealed about the constructed models, input tuples and activation functions.

Abstract:
Accurate PM2.5 concentration prediction is crucial for protecting public health and improving air quality. As a popular deep learning model, deep belief network (DBN) for PM2.5 concentration prediction has received increasing attention due to its effectiveness. However, the DBN structure parameters that have a significant impact on prediction accuracy and computation time are hard to be determined. To address this issue, a modified grey wolf optimization (MGWO) algorithm is proposed to optimize the DBN structure parameters containing number of hidden nodes, learning rate, and momentum coefficient. The methodology modifies the basic grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm using the nonlinear convergence and position update strategies, and then utilizes the training error of the DBN to calculate the fitness function of the MGWO algorithm. Through the multiple iterations, the optimal structure parameters are obtained, and a suitable predictor is finally generated. The proposed prediction model is validated on a real application case. Compared with the other prediction models, experimental results show that the proposed model has a simpler structure but higher prediction accuracy.

Abstract:
The links between climate and permafrost are well known, but the precise nature of the relationship between air and ground temperatures remains poorly understood, particularly in complex mountain environments. Although previous studies indicate that elevation and potential incoming solar radiation (PISR) are the two leading factors contributing to the existence of permafrost at a given location, additional factors may also contribute significantly to the existence of mountain permafrost, including vegetation cover, snow accumulation and the degree to which individual mountain landscapes are prone to air temperature inversions. Current mountain permafrost models consider only elevation and aspect, and have not been able to deal with inversion effects in a systematic fashion. This thesis explores the relationship between air and ground surface temperatures and the presence of surface-based inversions at 27 sites within the Wolf Creek basin and surrounding area between 2001 and 2006, as a first step in developing an improved permafrost distribution TTOP model. The TTOP model describes the relationship between the mean annual air temperature and the temperature at the top of permafrost in terms of the surface and thermal offsets (Smith and Riseborough, 2002). Key components of this model are n-factors which relate air and ground climate by establishing the ratio between air and surface freezing (winter) and thawing (summer) degree-days, thus summarizing the surface energy balance on a seasonal basis. Here we examine (1) surface offsets and (2) freezing and thawing n-factor variability at a number of sites through altitudinal treeline in the southern Yukon. Thawing n-factors (nt) measured at individual sites remained relatively constant from one year to the next and may be related to land cover. During the winter, the insulating effect of a thick snow cover results in higher surface temperatures, while thin snow cover results in low surface temperatures more closely related to the winter air temperatures. The application of n-factor modeling techniques within the permafrost region, and the verification of these techniques for a range of natural surfaces, is essential to the determination of the thermal and physical response to potential climate warming in permafrost regions. The presence of temperature inversions presents a unique challenge to permafrost probability mapping in mountainous terrain. While elsewhere the existence of permafrost can be linearly related to elevation, the presence of frequent inversions challenges this assumption, affecting permafrost distribution in ways that the current modeling techniques cannot accurately predict. At sites across the Yukon, inversion-prone sites were predominantly situated in U-shaped valleys, although open slopes, mid-slope ridges and plains were also identified. Within the Wolf Creek basin and surrounding area, inversion episodes have a measurable effect on local air temperatures, occurring during the fall and winter seasons along the Mount Sima trail, and year-round in the palsa valley. Within the discontinuous permafrost zone, where average surface temperatures are often close to zero, even a relatively small change in temperature in the context of future climate change could have a widespread impact on permafrost distribution.

Abstract:
Introdução: A Fibromialgia (FM) é uma síndrome clínica de etiologia desconhecida, caracterizada pela presença de dor musculoesquelética crónica generalizada. O diagnóstico é fundamentalmente clínico, com critérios que incluem outros sintomas somáticos. Em 1990 o American College of Rheumatology (ACR) elaborou critérios de classificação que foram aceites pela comunidade científica. Estes critérios e as posteriores revisões efetuadas em 2010 e 2016 contribuíram para a homogeneização do diagnóstico impulsionando os estudos sobre FM. Estes critérios apresentam as seguintes escalas: Índice de dor generalizada (WPI), Escala de gravidade de sintomas (SSS) e Escala de severidade fibromiálgica (FSS). 0bjetivo: Avaliar a validade/utilidade da aplicação de um questionário baseado nos critérios ACR mais recentes para o diagnóstico de FM, com o intuito de considerar a sua utilização nos cuidados de saúde primários. Método: Foi realizado um estudo observacional e transversal, entre novembro de 2017 e fevereiro de 2018, através da aplicação e análise dos resultados de um questionário de autopreenchimento. Foram inquiridos 50 pacientes com diagnóstico prévio de FM realizado por um reumatologista e 100 pacientes com critérios para outras doenças reumatológicas que não FM (total de 150 doentes). Foi pedido o preenchimento de uma segunda via do questionário, a ser realizado num período máximo de 3 dias. Resultados: O questionário apresentou uma especificidade e sensibilidade de 84 e 68 por cento, respetivamente, para o diagnóstico de FM. Se for considerado, para a FSS, um cut-off igual ou superior a 12, obtém-se uma especificidade e sensibilidade de 72 e 88 por cento, respetivamente, para o diagnóstico de FM. Para um cut-off igual ou superior a 13, a especificidade e sensibilidade são de 78 e 82 por cento, respetivamente. O índice kappa de 0,65 demonstra concordância moderada entre o diagnóstico de FM estabelecido pelo questionário preenchido em consulta e o diagnóstico estabelecido pela 2ª via do questionário. Conclusão: Os resultados foram insatisfatórios no que diz respeito ao valor discriminativo entre o diagnóstico clínico de FM e outras causas de dor reumatológica crónica. Avaliar a FSS parece ser mais útil do que aplicar os limites numéricos específicos dos critérios ACR. Considera-se, no entanto, a possibilidade do questionário poder ser utilizado no rastreio de pacientes com FM nos cuidados de saúde primários, com a utilização de um ponto de corte igual ou superior a 12/13 para a FSS. A reprodutibilidade moderada obtida evidencia a vantagem do preenchimento do questionário na presença de um auxiliar, que não o clínico.
Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a clinical syndrome of unknown etiology, characterized by the presence of generalized chronic musculoskeletal pain. The diagnosis is fundamentally clinical, with criteria that include other somatic symptoms. In 1990, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) developed classification criteria that were accepted by the scientific community. These criteria and the subsequent revisions made in 2010 and 2016 contributed to the homogenization of the diagnosis, boosting the FM studies. These criteria present the following scales: Widespread Pain Index (WPI), Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and Fibromyalgia Severity Scale (FSS). Objective: To evaluate the validity / usefulness of the application of a questionnaire based on the latest ACR criteria for the diagnosis of FM, in order to consider their use in primary health care. Method: An observational and cross-sectional study was performed through the application and analysis of the results of a self-completion questionnaire, which took place between November 2017 and February 2018. Were interviewed 50 patients with a previous diagnosis of FM made by a rheumatologist and 100 patients with criteria for rheumatic diseases other than FM (total of 150 patients). A second questionnaire was requested to be completed within a maximum of 3 days. Results: The questionnaire presented a specificity and sensitivity of 84 and 68 percent, respectively, for the diagnosis of FM. If a cut-off point equal to or greater than 12 is considered for the FSS, a specificity and sensitivity of 72 and 88 percent are obtained, respectively, for FM diagnosis. For a cut-off point equal to or greater than 13, the specificity and sensitivity are 78 and 82 percent, respectively. The kappa index of 0.65 shows a moderate agreement between the diagnosis of FM established by the questionnaire in consultation and the diagnosis established by the questionnaire at home. Conclusion: The results were unsatisfactory with regard to the discriminative value between the clinical diagnosis of FM and other causes of chronic rheumatologic pain. Evaluating FSS seems to be more useful than applying the specific numerical limits of ACR criteria. However, it is considered that the questionnaire could be used in the screening of patients with FM in primary health care, using a cutoff of 12/13 or higher for FSS. The moderate reproducibility obtained evidences the advantage of completing the questionnaire in the presence of a an assistant or health technician, other than the clinician.

Abstract:
abstract: During the 1960s, American youth were coming of age in a post–war period marked by an unprecedented availability of both money and leisure time. These conditions afforded young people new opportunities for exploring fresh ways of thinking and living, beyond the traditional norms of their parents' generation. Tom Wolfe recognized that a revolution was taking place, in terms of manners and morals, spearheaded by this latest generation. He built a career for himself reporting on the diverse groups that were developing on the periphery of the mainstream society and the various ways they were creating social spaces, what he termed “statuspheres,” for themselves, in which to live by their own terms. Using the techniques of the New Journalism—“immersion” reporting that incorporated literary devices traditionally reserved for writers of fiction—Wolfe crafted creative non–fiction pieces that attempted not only to offer a glimpse into the lives of these fringe groups, but also to place the reader within their subjective experiences. This thesis positions Wolfe as a sort of liminal trickster figure, who is able to bridge the gap between disparate worlds, both physical and figurative. Analyzing several of Wolfe's works from the time period, it works to demonstrate the almost magical way in which Wolfe infiltrates various radical, counterculture and otherwise “fringe” groups, while borrowing freely from elements across lines of literary genre, in order to make his subjects' experiences come alive on the page. This work attempts to shed light on his special ability to occupy multiple spaces and perspectives simultaneously, to offer the reader a multidimensional look into the lives of cultural outsiders and the impact that they had and continue to have on the overarching discussion of the American Experience. Ultimately, this paper argues that by exposing these various outlying facets of American culture to the mainstream readership, Wolfe acts as a catalyst to reincorporate these fringe elements within the larger conversation of what it means to be American, thereby spurring a greater cultural awareness and an expansion of the collective American consciousness.

Full text
Abstract:
Defining rarity as a relative quality in matter roughly opposite to density, this dissertation focusses on the way material qualities of molecular gases, such as semi-opacity, permeation, and blending, inform modernist representations of embodied spatial experience. In modernist writing, rare matter—including air, fog, smoke, and haze—functions as an active component of the sensory environment, filling up the negative space that sets off subjects from objects, and characters from settings. Representing matter across the full range of the rarity-density spectrum allows modernist writers to challenge the ontological status of such boundaries, and to develop dynamic spatial models of the self-world threshold. The Introduction defines rare matter and examines its function as a sensory medium that can alternately define and blur subject/object boundaries. Interpreting dynamic thresholds as products of authorial activism, I argue that modernist narratives disrupt the normative constructions of the self-world boundary that prevailed in biomedical discourse around the turn of the century. Chapter 1, seeking to expand the scope of modernist object studies to include rare matter, analyzes illustrated books about London to demonstrate the increased cultural visibility of the atmosphere in the modernist period. Visual and verbal gestalt effects, modelled on the hermeneutic oscillation between looking at and looking through the fog, foreground the materiality of the atmosphere that fills up three-dimensional space, pressing up against the thresholds of the body and disrupting fixed distinctions between subjects and their surroundings. Chapter 2 shows how D. H. Lawrence harnesses the properties of rare matter to construct dynamic representations of the self-world boundary. In his early novels and his criticism, the oscillation between self-diffusion and self-differentiation expresses characters’ psychological responsiveness to changing interpersonal and ontological pressures. Chapter 3 demonstrates how Virginia Woolf takes advantage of rare attributes like permeation, fluid motion, and variable particle spacing to model process-oriented communities that incorporate dynamic shifts between social autonomy and collective identity. The Conclusion examines rare imagery in modernist scenes of narration, arguing that dynamic self-world thresholds help to articulate a responsive form of reader-text interaction that allows for the alternation of independent and collaborative reading practices.

Abstract:
It was not until the late eighteenth century—over a hundred years after the discovery of phosphorus—that it was appreciated that both phosphorus and sulfur were actually elements. Prior to this time, it was thought that all matter was made up of four so-called elements: earth, air, fire, and water. The realization that this was not so centred on understanding that the air is actually composed of a number of different gases, and in particular, understanding what happens when things burn. The discovery that water could be broken down into, or indeed synthesized from, two simpler elementary substances started a chemical revolution in France. The fruits of this revolution are embodied in the very names we now use for these two components, hydrogen and oxygen. However, the path to enlightenment was tortuous, lasting over 200 years. At its peak at the end of the eighteenth century, chemists fell into two distinct camps—those for the new French chemistry, and those against it. Several different names were given to the gases before ‘hydrogen’ and ‘oxygen’ triumphed. As it turns out, one of these names is still based on an incorrect theory, and it might have been more appropriate if the names hydrogen and oxygen had been swapped around. From the sixth century BC, the ancient Greek philosopher Thales taught that water was the primary matter from which all other substances were formed. Perhaps this idea came from water’s ready ability to form solid ice, ‘earth’, or vapours and mists, ‘airs’. Other philosophers thought the primary substance was air; others still, fire. It was less common for earth to be thought of in this way, possibly, as Aristotle later wrote, because it was too coarse-grained to make up these fluids. In the fifth century BC Empedokles brought the four ‘elements’ together—earth, air, fire, and water—and for many centuries it was thought that these made up everything around us.

Abstract:
Sulfur has long been associated with the fiery domain of hell, and with its god. In the fifteenth-century poem The Assembly of Gods, after describing Othea, the goddess of wisdom, the anonymous author continues with an account of the god of the underworld: . . . And next to her was god Pluto set Wyth a derke myst envyroned all aboute His clothynge was made of a smoky net His colour was both wythin & wythoute Full derke & dӯme his eyen grete & stoute Of fyre & sulphure all his odour waas That wo was me while I behelde his faas . . . Even more terrifying is the account from the Vatican Mythographers, in which Pluto is described as ‘an intimidating personage sitting on a throne of sulphur, holding the sceptre of his realm in his right hand, and with his left strangling a soul’. This association between sulfur and the fiery underworld is perhaps understandable given that the element is often found in the vicinity of volcanoes. In Mundus Subterraneus, one of many books written by the seventeenth-century polymath Athanasius Kircher (1602–80), the author describes a night-time visit to Vesuvius in the year 1638—just seven years after the great eruption of 1631. He tells us that after arriving at the crater, ‘I saw what is horrible to be expressed, I saw it all over of a light fire, with an horrible combustion, and stench of Sulphur and burning Bitumen. Here forthwith being astonished at the unusual sight of the thing; Methoughts I beheld the habitation of Hell; wherein nothing else seemed to be much wanting, besides the horrid fantasms and apparitions of Devils.’ Kircher believed that the volcanoes were fed by massive fires deep underground, as he tells us in the opening of his book: . . . That there are Subterraneous Conservatories, and Treasuries of Fire (even as well, as there are of Water, and Air, &c.) and vast Abysses, and bottomless Gulphs in the Bowels and very Entrals of the Earth, stored therewith, no sober Philosopher can deny; If he do but consider the prodigious Vulcano’s, or fire-belching Mountains; the eruptions of sulphurous fires not only out of the Earth, but also out of the very Sea; the multitude and variety of hot Baths every where occurring. . . .

The English author Virginia Woolf chronicled a woman’s first flight in “Flying over London,” an undated short piece that she most likely wrote in the late 1920s or 1930s.1 The airplane journey began. There were fifty to sixty airplanes grounded “like a flock of grasshoppers” in a shed, a Moth plane among them. The propeller engine started and the pilot made the plane “roar.” The Moth took off, sped-up, and the air travelers ascended....

Abstract:
This chapter brings to light how Woolf’s work transitions from treating flowers as representational emblems to deploying them as complex metonymical chains of self-deconstructing, proliferating, and reconstructed scenes of meaning. Drawing attention to the extensive botanical references to apples and to poppies throughout the breadth of Woolf’s oeuvre as examples of the complexity of her vegetal vocabulary, especially as it relates to attitudes towards peace on the eve of war and life in the face of invading death, this chapter suggests we find a Woolf whose view of the natural word was central to her ideas of war and peace.

Abstract:
Virginia Woolf's citation of a famous lyric by William Blake in her essay “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid” (1940) contests its usage as warmongering propaganda in the context of two world wars, and still has resonance today. This chapter builds upon Diane Filby Gillespie’s article “Blake and Bloomsbury” (1990), which established the importance of a radical Blake in Bloomsbury, applying to Woolf the findings of Blake scholars Shirley Dent and Jason Whittaker who argue Blake’s vision of “Jerusalem” and “Albion” represent “the return to Eden before hereditary power, before tribalism and before nationalism”. By focusing on this key Blakean citation in “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid,” the chapter’s argument also opens Blakean aspects in Woolf's pacifist aesthetics in other works such as Three Guineas and “Anon.”

Abstract:
Primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) in nickel-based dissimilar metal (DM) welds (specifically Alloy 82/182 welds) in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) can cause a safety concern due to the high crack growth rate and irregular shaped flaws. Since many of these welds reside in primary piping systems that have been approved for Leak-Before-Break (LBB), the domestic commercial nuclear power industry has proposed a number of mitigation strategies for dealing with the issue and assuring LBB is still applicable. Some of these methods include Mechanical Stress Improvement Process (MSIP), Full and Optimized Structural Weld Overlay (FSWOL, OWOL), and Inlay and Onlay cladding. The industry claims that these methods provide either a reduction in the inner diameter residual stress field (MSIP and WOL), and/or apply a non-susceptible corrosion resistant barrier to stop or retard PWSCC crack growth to form a through-wall leak path (WOL, Inlay, Onlay). At last years PVP conference, a companion paper was published that described the initial welding residual stress and flaw evaluation analyses to investigate the effectiveness of inlay welds as a mitigative technique. The results from that effort suggested that the time to leakage with an inlayed weld is highly affected by the depth of the inlay and the crack growth rate within the inlay. In this ongoing effort, further welding residual stress analyses are presented that investigate the effects of the inlay depth and a variety of weld repair options before the standard 3mm deep inlay. In addition, further crack growth analyses, assuming idealized crack shapes, were conducted to investigate the effects of weld residual stress, crack growth rate, global bending stress, and flaw size and orientation. The results of these analyses aid in determining appropriate inspection intervals for dissimilar metal welds with this mitigation technique.

Abstract:
Rapidly increasing population and migration from rural areas to nearby urban agglomerations develop tremendous pressure on system of the existing cities without compromising socioeconomic and cultural linkages. Policy interventions, both at global and local scale, have created newer avenues for the researchers to explore real-time solutions for problems world-wide. For instance, the outcome of 2015 United Nations agenda for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the year 2030 primarily focuses on urbanization issues and probabilistic modelling of future scenarios to obtain a robust alternative for resource utilization and further for maximizing sustainability through land use pattern analysis. This is the clear indication toward the very important role of “ever dormant” urban planning, especially in the case of a rapidly developing country such as India. Remote sensing and geo informatics along with Machine learning can provide extremely relevant information about the pattern change in cities and as input to visualize the future growth pockets. In this context, potential of cellular automata (CA) in urban modelling has been explored by various researchers across the globe. In the recent past, models have been drawing majority of the attention along with geographic CA processes about urban growth and urban sprawl studies. Most recent approaches include optimization of transition rules based on machine learning techniques and evolutionary algorithms that follow nature-inspired mechanism such as Genetic Algorithm, Ant colony optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), simulated annealing, Grey Wolf optimizer etc. Irrespective of any modelling technique, model calibration remains one of the challenging and most crucial steps towards obtaining realistic results. This research communication tries to demonstrate a novel idea of integrating PSO with SLEUTH post calibration of the spatial-temporal footprint of urban growth from the year 1990 to 2017 for Kolkata, a historical megacity of Eastern India. Results were evaluated and validated using statistical fit measuresreveals PSO-SLEUTH performed substantially better compared to traditional Brute Force calibration method (BFM). Another significant development was in terms of computation time of optimized values from days (BFM) to hours (PSO). The study identifies Kolkata region to be sensitive to spread and road gravity coefficients during calibration procedure. Results indicate growth along the transport corridors with multiple agents fuelling the growth. Further, with the aid of high spatial resolution data, buildings were extracted to understand the growth parameters incorporating neural networks. Using the results, renewable energy aspects were explored to harness and provide a suitable local solution for energy issues in energy gobbling cities. Pattern of landscape change, development of better process of modeling and extraction of building from machine learning techniques for planning smart cities with self-sustaining energy is presented in this research work.
