Summary: Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) is a novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm inspired by the collaborative behavior of Harris Hawks in nature. It has the advantages of simple structure, few parameters, easy implementation, and excellent performance on high-dimensional problems. However, it suffers from the inability to strike a good balance between exploration and exploitation, low convergence accuracy, and slow convergence speed in the early stage. To address these issues, this paper introduces three strategies to improve the HHO algorithm: a non-negative stochastic shrinkage exponential energy function, a Cauchy-Gaussian-based dynamic variance reduction selection strategy, and a greedy-difference-based selection strategy.

Summary: Global sea-level rise is a critical problem for coastal cities. Semarang, a coastal city in Indonesia, is at risk of being submerged due to flooding and land subsidence. This study used improved combined scatterers interferometry with optimized point scatterers to increase the density of measurement points. Comparison between support vector regression and convolutional neural network algorithms showed that the ICOPS-CNN method had better model performance and measurement point density. Land subsidence analysis using susceptibility mapping showed that a hybrid deep learning algorithm with grey wolf optimizer had the highest accuracy. This research can be used by local governments to improve urban development planning in Semarang.

Summary: Due to the limitations of ground monitoring stations in China for the BDS, the accuracy of BDS Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite orbits can be influenced. To overcome this, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can be used as additional monitoring stations. In this study, data from two LEO satellites were collected to improve the precise orbit determination of the BDS. By comparing the results with GPS and BDS-2/3 solutions, it was found that including the LEO satellites significantly improved the accuracy of GPS and BDS-2/3 orbits.
