We report high-precision magnetization ([Formula: see text]), magnetic susceptibility ([Formula: see text]), specific heat (C (T, H)) and 'zero-field' electrical resistivity, [Formula: see text], data taken on GdTe single crystal over wide ranges of temperature and magnetic field (H), with either [Formula: see text]-axis or [Formula: see text]-plane. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] unambiguously establish that the b-axis is the easy direction of magnetization whereas any direction in the ac-plane is a hard direction. The [Formula: see text]-type anomaly in 'zero-field' specific heat, C (T, H = 0), and an abrupt drop in [Formula: see text] (characteristic of the paramagnetic (PM) - antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase transition) are observed at the Néel temperature, [Formula: see text] K. [Formula: see text] and C (T,H) clearly demonstrate that [Formula: see text] shifts to lower temperatures with increasing H irrespective of whether H points in the easy or hard direction. When [Formula: see text], the [Formula: see text] isotherms at temperatures in the range 2.5 K [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] K reveal the existence of a field-induced spin-flop (SF) transition at fields 4.0 T [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] 4.5 T. The first principles electronic band structure and density of states calculations, based on the density functional theory, correctly predict an AFM ground state (stabilized primarily by the 4f Gd - 5p Te- 4f Gd superexchange interactions) and the observed semi-metallic behavior for the GdTe compound. Moreover, these calculations yield the values [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] for the ordered magnetic moment per Gd atom at T = 0, [Formula: see text] mJ mol K for the Sommerfeld coefficient for the electronic specific heat contribution and [Formula: see text] K for the Curie-Weiss temperature, respectively. These theoretical estimates conform well with the corresponding experimental values [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] mJ mol K and [Formula: see text] K.

A hybrid Harris Hawks Optimization with Support Vector Regression for air quality forecasting.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Faculty of Computers and Information, Minia University, Minia, Egypt.
This paper proposes a hybridized model for air quality forecasting that combines the Support Vector Regression (SVR) method with Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) called (HHO-SVR). The proposed HHO-SVR model utilizes five datasets from the environmental protection agency's Downscaler Model (DS) to predict Particulate Matter ([Formula: see text]) levels. In order to assess the efficacy of the suggested HHO-SVR forecasting model, we employ metrics such as Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Average, Standard Deviation (SD), Best Fit, Worst Fit, and CPU time.

The permanent magnet synchronous motor control system is characterized by its nonlinear and strongly coupled complexity, presenting significant challenges for control performance optimization. To address these challenges, a Fuzzy adaptive fractional order [Formula: see text] control strategy based on torque observation compensation is proposed. The parameters of the fractional order [Formula: see text] controller are optimized real time using fuzzy logic reasoning, in order to enhance the speed of parameters tuning, a graphical design method of the fractional order [Formula: see text] controller parameters based on frequency domain performance indicators is proposed to obtain the initial values of the fuzzy adaptive fractional order [Formula: see text] controller parameters graphically and intuitively.

A wealth of details regarding an individual's state of health, like a person's respiratory and metabolic functioning, can be studied by analyzing the volatile molecules and atoms in human exhaled breath. Besides, the salinity of seawater is a crucial factor in understanding its characteristics because any variation in the salinity of seawater represents the variations in the hydrological, biological, and chemical distributions. In this paper, a symmetrical one-dimensional phononic structure is theoretically designed using two symmetrical crystals separated with a defective cavity.

Underwater environmental exploration using sensor nodes has emerged as a critical endeavor fraught with challenges such as localization errors, energy, and costs attributed to the dynamic nature of underwater environments. This paper proposes a KNN-based cost-efficient machine-learning algorithm aimed at optimizing underwater context acquisition with sensor nodes. By addressing existing localization challenges, the algorithm minimizes localization errors, energy consumption and Time costs while significantly enhancing localization accuracy to 99.
