Predicting rice yield and impact of climate change on rice production using machine learning models - Khawaja T. Tasneem; Muhammad Umair Shahzad; Javed Rashid; Kamal M. Othman; Tania Zafar; Muhammad Faheem (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2025)
Climate change poses a critical threat to agricultural sustainability, with direct implications for the global food supply. Rice, a staple crop throughout Asia, is particularly vulnerable to variations in temperature and rainfall, making it essential to understand how it responds to changing climatic conditions. This study integrates historical climate records, rice yield data, and projections from Global Climate Models (GCMs; CMIP3) to assess the potential effects of climate change on rice production in Punjab, Pakistan. We employed multiple machine learning approaches, including Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Boosted Tree Regression (BTR), Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN), Generalized Feed-Forward (GFF) Neural Network, Linear Regression (LR), and a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Network. The models were trained and validated using observed climate and yield data from 1990 to 2020. Future yields were projected under three IPCC emission scenarios (SR-A2, SR-A1B, SR-B1) through the year 2050. Model evaluation showed that the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) achieved the highest predictive performance ( $$R^2$$ = 0.791, R = 0.868, MAE = 0.215, MSE = 0.0869, NMSE = 0.3681), followed by Boosted Tree Regression (BTR; $$R^2$$ = 0.779, R = 0.845, MAE = 0.334, MSE = 0.1308). The Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) and Generalized Feed-Forward (GFF) model also performed respectably ( $$R^2$$ = 0.745, R = 0.811, MAE = 0.176, MSE = 0.380 and $$R^2$$ = 0.643, R = 0.825, MAE = 0.398, MSE = 0.178, respectively). In contrast, Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Linear Regression (LR) performed poorly, with low $$R^2$$ values (0.535), underscoring their inability to capture the non-linear relationships between climate variables and yield. Our analysis identifies maximum temperature as the primary climatic driver of yield loss. Based on the projections, we estimate an average yield decline of 0.12% by 2050. This study demonstrates that non-linear machine learning models, particularly the MLP, are essential for reliable agricultural forecasting under climate change. The results highlight the growing vulnerability of rice production to rising temperatures and provide a robust evidence base for designing adaptation strategies, such as developing heat-tolerant rice varieties, to enhance food security in vulnerable regions.

Methods for quantifying and incorporating biomass carbon sequestration by trees in life cycle assessments - Muhammad Ahmed Waqas; Fatemeh Hashemi; Lisbeth Mogensen; Miguel Brandão; Michele De Rosa; Marie Trydeman Knudsen (The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2025)
Purpose Global temperatures are expected to surpass the critical threshold of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels by 2040, necessitating the urgent need for large-scale and sustained carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) removal. Tree-based systems offer a promising solution for carbon (C) sequestration and contribute to climate change mitigation. However, there is no consensus on accounting for biomass C sequestration in greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, particularly in life cycle assessments (LCA). Although LCAs assess GHG emissions from production systems, integrating temporal changes in biomass C stocks remains a significant challenge. Methods This study conducted a review to identify different methods for quantifying C sequestration and storage by trees in their biomass and to quantify the climate impact of this sequestered C for incorporation into LCA. Further, a case study on poplar trees was conducted to discuss these methods. Results and discussion LCA practitioners can use several modeling approaches to quantify tree biomass C sequestration and storage, each with distinct strengths and limitations. These approaches include allometric, process-based, C-budget, and parametric models. This study found significant variability in the estimated biomass C sequestration and storage among these approaches, primarily due to the underlying methodological differences. Additionally, the variability in C sequestration and storage estimates increased with longer assessment durations. The results indicated that general allometric models may overestimate biomass C compared with species, climate, or site-specific models. However, when general models are adjusted for site-specific conditions and tree species, they provide more comparable estimates. This review identified nine impact assessment methods to quantify the climate change impacts of tree biomass C sequestration. The results showed that these impact assessment methods are time-sensitive, and the results may vary depending on the specific method and assessment duration chosen. Conclusions This study concludes that, while simplified approaches to estimate biomass C sequestration and storage as well as impact assessment methods are useful, more detailed approaches may offer greater accuracy when detailed data are available. Therefore, in the future, methods for estimating biomass C sequestration and storage and its climatic impacts must strike a balance between complexity, simplification, and accuracy to improve their applicability and reduce uncertainties.

Integrating a hybrid statistical Downscaling-based HMM-RF model for enhanced rainfall prediction in Selangor - Noor Hamizah Mohamad Sani; Shazlyn Milleana Shaharudin; Muhammad Safwan Ibrahim; Upmanu Lall; Mou Leong Tan (Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2025)
Accurate rainfall prediction is crucial for effective weather forecasting and climate modeling. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a novel hybrid Statistical Downscaling-based Hidden Markov Model-Random Forest Model (SD-based HMM-RF) for rainfall prediction in Selangor, Malaysia. It also examines the best imputation methods for handling missing data, selects predictors for statistical downscaling by reducing dimensionality, and addresses uncertainties in zero-bounded rainfall data. The study utilized observed data (predictand) from 33 rainfall stations and atmospheric data (predictor), covering the period from 2008 to 2018. Seven imputation methods were tested: Mean Imputation (MeI), Median Imputation (MI), Expectation-Maximization (EM) Algorithm, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN), Non-iterative Partial Least Square (NIPALS), and Random Forest (RF). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to manage high-dimensional data and select predictors, while HMM was applied to address uncertainties in zero-bounded rainfall data. Five hybrid models: Random Forest (SD-based HMM-RF), Support Vector Machine (SD-based HMM-SVM), Decision Tree (SD-based HMM-DT), k-Nearest Neighbors (SD-based HMM-KNN), and Artificial Neural Networks (SD-based HMM-ANN) were evaluated. Performance metrics, including Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Forecast Error (MFE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE), and Rank Correlation Coefficient (ρ), were used to identify the most accurate rainfall prediction model. MI emerged as the best-performing method, achieving the lowest RMSE (0.146) and MAE (0.021), along with the highest NSE (1.000) and Pearson correlation coefficient, r (1.000) for all stations. PCA identified five principal components (PC1–PC5) with a cumulative variance of up to 93.254%. HMM analysis determined that three hidden states (K = 3) at iteration 2000 were optimal, with the lowest Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) of 260,018.30. Among the models, SD-based HMM-RF consistently outperformed others, showing superior accuracy and reliability in rainfall prediction, as indicated by its RMSE (2.298), NSE (0.752), MAE (1.900), near-zero MFE (-0.049), KGE (0.526), and ρ (0.898). By improving rainfall prediction accuracy, the novel hybrid model can enhance early warning systems, inform infrastructure planning, and reduce the economic impact of future flooding events, thereby contributing to more resilient urban development in the region.

Spatiotemporal distribution of cyclone-induced casualties in coastal Bangladesh (1970–2021): a comprehensive assessment - Tamanna Rahman; Muhammad Al-Amin Hoque; Sanjoy Roy; Biswajeet Pradhan (Spatial Information Research, 2025)
Bangladesh is highly vulnerable due to tropical cyclones, which frequently cause severe damages and fatalities in coastal regions of Bangladesh. This study investigates 41 major cyclonic storms from 1970 to 2021 to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of cyclone related fatalities in coastal Bangladesh. A total of 502,083 deaths and 111,885 injuries were recorded, with Chattogram, Patuakhali and Barishal districts experiencing the highest death rates. Notably, Sandwip upazila in Chattgram and Mirzaganj upazila in Patuakhali district had the highest mortality rates. Data were sourced primarily from newspapers and analyzed using ArcGIS at district and upazila levels. The findings illustrated significant spatial variations in cyclone impact, highlighting areas most at risk. The study highlights the importance of GIS based analysis in identifying vulnerable zones for targeted mitigation efforts. Public awareness, early warning systems, and disaster resilience strategies are essential for reducing cyclone related fatalities. Future research should focus on standardized data collection, catastrophe risk models, and spatiotemporal analysis to improve cyclone prediction and resilience planning.

A non-linear statistical framework to investigate changes in life history patterns within and among fish populations - Clement Z. W. Ng; Patrick Reis-Santos; Júlio G. Gonzalez; Bronwyn M. Gillanders; Muhammad F. Saleh; Joyce J. L. Ong (Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2025)
Understanding movement patterns is crucial for predicting species responses to environmental change. However, in aquatic environments, the lack of long-term movement data constrains our ability to interpret how species adapt to changing conditions. Fish otoliths provide insights into individual life-history strategies via time-resolved chemical signatures but disentangling interactions between physiological and environmental processes remain challenging. Current analytical approaches often categorise life-history profiles into qualitative groups, based on sampling regions or years, overlooking intra-annual variation and simplifying data to group-level means. This study introduces a non-linear statistical framework using Generalised Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) to explore how otolith element concentrations (Mg:Ca, Sr:Ca, Ba:Ca) vary with demographic variables (Age, Region) and temporal effects in a tropical snapper and illustrates its application on Lutjanus malabaricus across the Indo-Pacific region. Our findings revealed significant, non-linear changes in otolith Sr:Ca, reflecting shared and region-specific age patterns, suggesting that despite geographic separation, phylogenetic processes affecting Sr regulation remained consistent between regions. In contrast, distinct region-specific age differences in Ba:Ca and Mg:Ca highlight the influence of environmental and/or physiological processes on otolith chemistry. Incorporating random effects refined our analysis by accounting for temporal dependencies and individual-specific age patterns. Overall, this non-linear framework provides a powerful approach to unravelling the complex life-history and movement strategies in fish populations, providing critical insights into their adaptive responses to changing environments. Beyond otoliths, this framework can be applied to analyse continuous, time-resolved chemical data from accretionary structures across aquatic taxa, capitalising on the diverse ecological information archived across the natural world.

Mapping the non-coding RNA landscape in ataxia telangiectasia: a scoping review of ATM dependent miRNA and lncRNA dysregulation - Muhammad Junaid Iqbal; Usman Ameen; Hamza Tanveer; Laraib Israr; Anastasia Ricci; Gianluca Morganti; Muhammad Jawad Khan; Michele Menotta (Molecular Biology Reports, 2025)
Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) is caused by biallelic Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) protein mutations and is hallmarked by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency and cancer susceptibility. Emerging work suggests that non-coding RNAs are integral to the ATM driven DNA damage response, yet the scope of non-coding RNA perturbation in A-T has not systematically mapped. This study is done to chart and synthesize all primary evidence on ncRNA dysregulation in A-T and to identify mechanistic gaps and research priorities. The evidence base comprises a total of five studies focused exclusively on microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs. Baseline sequencing of 20 patients revealed consistent downregulation of miR-195-5p, miR-30a-5p and miR-342-3p. Low dose γ-irradiation of ATM-null lymphoblastoid cell lines produced an exaggerated bidirectional shift (8 microRNAs upregulated, 6 downregulated) versus wild-type, whereas primary T-cells showed largely ATM independent rises of miR-34a-5p and miR-182-5p. A lymphoblastoid cell lines study distinguished 22 recessive or dominant radiation-responsive microRNAs. Long non-coding RNAs profiling identified 149 transcripts that require functional ATM for induction and three uniquely upregulated in A-T cells. No circular RNA study in A-T is observed till date. The ncRNA research in A-T is nascent with five studies present a miRNA dysregulation and an ATM-dependent lncRNA surge that is lost in A-T, but leave circRNAs, neuronal tissues and functional validation unexplored. Intermediate dose stress models, total and small RNA-seq under DNA damage and oxidative stress, and CRISPR rescue/knockout screens in patient derived organoids are immediate priorities for exploring the role of ncRNAs as therapeutic targets in A-T.

QARS1 associated developmental epileptic encephalopathy: first report of a rare homozygous missense variant from Pakistan causing nonepileptic phenotype in a family of seven patients and a comprehensive review of the literature - Riaz Ahmad; Muhammad Naeem; Henry Houlden (Molecular Biology Reports, 2025)
Background Pathogenic variants in QARS1 (MIM:603727; Glutaminyl-TRNA Synthetase 1), which encodes Glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase 1, have been associated with rare progressive microcephaly with seizures and cerebral and cerebellar atrophy (MSCCA MIM:615760). Only a handful of MSCCA patients have been reported in the literature mostly associated with compound heterozygous QARS1 variants. In the current study, we aimed molecular characterization of a large consanguineous Pakistani family affected with microcephaly, severe intellectual and developmental disability. Methods We isolated genomic DNA from blood samples collected from the two affected and three normal individuals of the family. We employed whole exome sequencing, homozygosity mapping, Sanger sequencing and in silico protein modelling tools to characterize the pathogenic variant causing the disease phenotype. Moreover, we collected data of 26 MSCCA patients previously reported in the literature. Results The phenotype in the affected individuals of the family was characterized by microcephaly, severe intellectual and developmental disability, but no epilepsy. We found a rare QARS1 variant NM_005051.3:c.1133G > A, p.(Arg378His) in homozygous state in the family. This variant was recently cited in a patient of Turkish ethnicity, the only MSCCA patient reported with nonepileptic phenotype. This variant lying in the catalytic domain of glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase 1 showed deleterious structure and functional impacts on the protein predicted by in silico tools. The variant was classified as ‘likely pathogenic’ following ACMG guidelines. Conclusions We present first report of QARS1 associated developmental encephalopathy from Pakistan. Our study adds to the restricted clinical and mutational database of this rare disorder supporting the growing evidence that homozygous missense QARS1 genotypes may lead to the milder phenotype. The reports of more patients with molecular studies will enhance the understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlations.

Background Male EBP disorder with neurologic defects (MEND syndrome) is an extremely rare disorder with a prevalence of less than 1/1,000,000 individuals worldwide. It is inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder caused by impaired sterol biosynthesis due to nonmosaic hypomorphic EBP variants. MEND syndrome is characterized by variable clinical manifestations including intellectual disability, short stature, scoliosis, digital abnormalities, cataracts, and dermatologic abnormalities. The goal of this study was to investigate the disease-causing variants in a family of two patients affected with MEND syndrome. Methods The genomic DNA of the two patients with MEND syndrome was subjected to whole exome sequencing to identify disease-causing variants. Segregation of the identified variant was tested through Sanger sequencing. Several in-silico tools were used to evaluate the pathogenicity of the variant. Protein’s 3D structure analysis systems were used to predict the impact of the identified variant on the binding and function of the mutated EBP protein including AlphaFold, PyMOL, AutoDock, ChimeraX and Discovery Studio. Results A novel pathogenic missense EBP variant NM_006579.3:c.556T > C (Trp186Arg) was found segregating in the affected family. In-silico analysis and molecular docking results supported the pathogenicity of the identified variant. Conclusion Our study expands the mutation spectrum of EBP and adds to the restricted reports of MEND patients. It strengthens the body of evidence that supports the role of EBP in the MEND syndrome phenotype. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this disorder from Pakistan.

Report of a novel missense TDP1 variant in a Pakistani family affected with an extremely rare disorder congenital spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 1 (SCAN1) - Riaz Ahmad; Filza Sayyad; Muhammad Naeem; Henry Houlden (Molecular Biology Reports, 2025)
Background Spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 1 (OMIM: 607250) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 ( TDP1) gene. Only a single missense variant (p.His493Arg) in this gene has been reported. This variant was found in three Arab families with a possible common founder effect. Methods and Results We report a female patient born to a consanguineous Pakistani family segregating autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 1. The patient presents additional clinical features distinct from previously reported Arab families including congenital onset of the disease. We performed whole exome sequencing with the patient’s DNA and identified a novel missense variant (NC_000014.9:g.89991982C > T; p.His478Tyr) in exon 13 of the TDP1 gene. Sanger sequencing was performed to verify the autosomal recessive segregation of the p.His478Tyr variant in the family. Conclusion The current study expands both the clinical and mutation spectrum of the TDP1 associated spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 1 and increases the body of evidence that supports the pathogenic role of TDP1 in cerebellar ataxias with peripheral neuropathy.

Activation function impact on rainfall prediction: comparative insights across ML and DL architectures - Hira Farman; Muhammad Arif Hussain; Saif Hassan; Sarang Shaikh; Khurshed Ali (Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2025)
Rainfall prediction is critical in agriculture, water resource management, transportation, and disaster planning. As a critical component of the hydrological cycle, precisely forecasting daily rainfall helps to lessen the effects of floods, droughts, and other extreme weather events. However, due to the nonlinear and complicated interaction of meteorological factors, daily rainfall forecast remains a grim problem. The proposed work adopts a systematic deep learning-based framework, integrating Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) models and Transformers to predict the rainfall of the next day. Besides deep models, a few machine learning classifiers, such as the Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) will be applied to benchmark the performance.One of the main insights in this study is the systematic comparison of a wide variety of activation functions, such as Sigmoid, ReLU, Tanh, Swish, Leaky ReLU, and ELU to measure their effects on model accuracy, convergence, and generalization performance. An experiment was employed on real-life rainfall of the USA dataset, which proved the efficiency of using the BiLSTM model and ReLU and Leaky ReLU activation functions to achieve up to 99% accuracy, whereas Transformer model was also efficient as it obtain up to 98%, but it was not stable and showed a tendency towards occasional instability during the training process. On the contrary, traditional machine learning models displayed an intermediate predictive accuracy, with average accuracies of approximately 87%. Significantly, the results were validated through multi-seed experiments with confidence intervals and baseline benchmarks, demonstrating that the near-perfect scores were not incidental but consistently stable across different initializations. This study provides a new theoretical standpoint in terms of activation functions in deep sequence models as it studies beneficiaries and shortcomings through a mathematical point of view. The results highlight that activation function selection can have an important impact on the accuracy of forecasts and can be significant in building more accurate, scalable, and general learning subroutines in weather predictions.

Deep Learning Ensemble and Multi-Criteria GIS for High-Fidelity Rooftop Solar Potential Mapping - Muhammad Kamran Lodhi; Yumin Tan; Yang Li; Muhammad Nouman Khan; Shahid Naeem (Journal of Geovisualization and Spatial Analysis, 2025)
Accurately mapping urban rooftop solar potential is essential for cities like Amsterdam that are pursuing net-zero emissions. This study presents an innovative framework that combines high-resolution geospatial data with an advanced deep learning ensemble to identify existing solar panels and untapped suitable rooftop areas. The predictions from a meticulously trained ensemble of deep learning models were integrated using both simple and performance-weighted majority voting. The weighted ensemble achieved an accuracy of 0.95, an F1 score of 0.91, and a Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.88, outperforming individual models. Rooftop suitability was assessed using a multi-criteria approach, which incorporated a high-resolution digital surface model (DSM) to derive slope, aspect, and solar irradiation. A novel solar irradiation model was developed that enhanced the precision of yield estimates by adjusting atmospheric transmissivity and diffuse fraction based on monthly cloud cover data from Amsterdam. This framework provides district-wise spatiotemporal solar irradiation and photovoltaic yield estimates. Based on our model estimates, current installations have a potential of 140 GWh annually, while there is a significant untapped potential of 1276 GWh on suitable rooftops. These detailed insights can help urban planners optimize solar energy deployment and support the city’s carbon neutrality goal by 2050. Graphical Abstract

Predicting axial load capacity of CFRP fire-damaged RC columns through DANN - Muhammad Noman; Muhammad Yaqub; Muhammad Salman; Muhammad Faizan; Shakouri Mahmoudabadi; Afaq Ahmad (Innovative Infrastructure Solutions, 2025)
This paper presents the results of a deep neural network (DNN) model predicting the axial load-carrying capacity of fire-damaged concrete square and rectangular reinforced concrete columns subsequently repaired using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. An experimental database comprising 143 column specimen samples was collected from the literature. Thirteen parameters were noted, including Length of Columns (mm), Width of Columns (mm), Corner Radius (mm), Height of Column (mm), Initial Compressive Strength of Concrete (MPa), Initial Tensile Strength of Steel (MPa), Longitudinal Reinforcement Ratio (As/Ag, %), Temperature of Fire (°C), Fire Exposure Time (Minutes), Number of Layers of CFRP(Count), Thickness of CFRP (mm), and Tensile Elastic Modulus of CFRP (GPa). These parameters served as inputs for the model, with the final axial compressive strength of the CFRP-repaired column considered as the target/output. DNN models were calibrated for numerous numbers of neurons in the hidden layers to achieve optimization. The proposed DNN model demonstrated strong agreement with the experimental database, exhibiting an overall correlation factor (R) of 0.99946. The predicted outcomes of the proposed model closely align with the experimental findings, as evidenced by a thorough comparison with prior experimental investigations. Consequently, this model holds potential value for engineers seeking speedy assistance in repairing fire-damaged structures using CFRP composites.
