TAXONOMIC AND NOMENCLATURAL NOVELTIES IN SYNTRICHIA ( BRYOPHYTA : POTTIACEAE ), WITH REINSTATEMENT OF AN ENDEMIC CONTINENTAL ANTARCTIC SPECIES

Taxonomic and nomenclatural novelties in Syntrichia ( Bryophyta : Pottiaceae ), with reinstatement of an endemic continental Antarctic species

Taxonomic implications of the phylogeographic studies based on multilocus sequencing of nuclear and chloroplast DNA regions of Syntrichia sarconeurum , long considered to be Antarctic endemic moss species, are summarised.Molecular analyses confirmed the conspecificity of Syntrichia sarconeurum with S.lithophila and S.pygmaea.This taxonomic conclusi

Mid-long term load forecasting model based on support vector machine optimized by improved sparrow search algorithm

The regression model based on the support vector machine (SVM) is vibrators-kits a standard mid-term and long-term load forecasting method.However, the hyperparameters of traditional SVM are challenging to determine, leading to its poor forecasting effect.This paper proposes an improved sparrow search algorithm (ISSA) to solve the problem of hyperp
