An Evolutionary Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Framework for Efficient Anomaly Detection in Smart Power Distribution Grids by Mohammad Mehdi Sharifi Nevisi, Mehrdad Shoeibi, Francisco Hernando-Gallego, Diego Martín, Sarvenaz Sadat Khatami

“…Conventional detection methods often struggle with adaptability, generalization, and real-time decision-making, leading to high false alarm rates and inefficient fault detection. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based framework, integrating a convolutional neural network (CNN) for hierarchical feature extraction and a recurrent neural network (RNN) for sequential pattern recognition and time-series modeling. …”

A Long-Term Overview of Elasmobranch Fisheries in an Oceanic Archipelago: A Case Study of the Madeira Archipelago by Mafalda Freitas, Filipa Pinho-Duarte, Madalena Gaspar, Pedro Ideia, João Delgado, Sara C. Cerqueira, Ricardo Sousa

“…Management measures currently in place need to be updated and ought to be based on studies on the type and size of hooks for each fishery, to ultimately infer about species-specific survival rates, as well as the fishing gears’ soak time. Moreover, studies on the enhancement of food supply through fisheries discards are still missing, even though it is highly likely that this input may alter the dynamics of marine food webs.…”
