An improved random forest model of short-term wind-power forecasting to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and robustness (2018)
Journal Article
Shi, K. P., Qiao, Y., Zhao, W., Wang, Q., Liu, M. H., & Lu, Z. (2018). An improved random forest model of short-term wind-power forecasting to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and robustness. Wind Energy, 21(12), 1383-1394. https://doi.org/10.1002/we.2261

Short‐term wind‐power forecasting methods like neural networks are trained by empirical risk minimization. The local optimum and overfitting problem is likely to occur in the model‐training stage, leading to the poor ability of reasoning and generali...

Capillary processes increase salt precipitation during CO2 injection in saline formations (2018)
Journal Article
Kelly, H. L., & Mathias, S. A. (2018). Capillary processes increase salt precipitation during CO2 injection in saline formations. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 852, 398-421. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2018.540

An important attraction of saline formations for CO2 storage is that their high salinity renders their associated brine unlikely to be identified as a potential water resource in the future. However, high salinity can lead to dissolved salt precipita... Read More about Capillary processes increase salt precipitation during CO2 injection in saline formations.
