Abstract

CEC of the soil is the exchange sites of organic and inorganic soil colloids. Modeling and Estimation of CEC is a useful indicator for fertility. The new alternative approaches for estimating CEC are indirect methods based on intelligent models. In this research in order to estimate CEC, 485 soil samples were prepared from two regions, chaparsar (Mazandaran in northern Iran) and Bostanabad (North of West Azarbaijan, Iran).In this paper introduces the application of genetic programming. Input parameters that are percent Clay, Organic Carbon and Silt, evaluate using genetic programming, neural network and Neural Inference Systems-Fuzzy models. The results indicate a good ability to intelligent models for CEC Estimation According to indices used in this study. Genetic programming model with a root mean square error of 1.78 and coefficient of determination 0.95 compared to other models have been more efficient and is able to provide satisfactory results, Also are the explicit solutions that reflect the relationship between input an output variable, was presented based on genetic programming. This preferred the genetic programming model adds the other models. Stepwise regression analysis to determine the contribution of each of the parameters indicated in the CEC that organic materials having Most coefficient of variation of 84% is justified CEC and clay and silt, respectively, with a correlation coefficient of 10% and 6% respectively.

Abstract
The prediction of local scouring as a dynamic and nonlinear phenomenon using methods of acceptable predictive capability has always been of interest to researchers. The shape of the bridge pier is one of the important factors in the formation and magnitude of the scour hole. In this paper, the scour depth of three bridge piers with cylindrical, sharp nose and rectangular shapes was predicted in two scenarios using the support vector machine algorithm with 395 field data obtained from the US Geological Survey and Froehlich (1988), based on different combinations of dimensionless parameters as the water attack angle (α), Froud number (Fr), the ration of pier length to width (l/b), and the ratio of mean sediment size to pier width (D50/b). The results of the study, while confirming the acceptable performance of the SVM algorithm for all piers in both scenarios, showed that in the first and second scenarios, the most optimal performance was related to the rectangular pier shape with correlation coefficient of 0.8702 and 0.8838, with and maximum Ds (DDR) values of 0.854 and 1.229 respectively, during the testing phase. The positive effect of increasing the number of data on the performance of the SVM algorithm was also confirmed by further probing the evaluation indicators. The results of the comparison pointed out the overestimation of the predicted scour depth values of absolute error between 11% to 35%.

Abstract
As one of the most necessary human needs, groundwater resources play a key role in the economic and political processes of societies. Climatic and land-use changes made serious challenges to the quantity and quality of groundwater resources in the Tehran-Karaj study area. The main objective of the present study is to develop a method based on individual intelligent models, including adaptive neural-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), gene expression programming (GEP), and combined-wavelet (WANFIS, WGEP) methods for temporal and spatial estimation of total hardness (TH), total dissolved solids (TDS), and electrical conductivity (EC) variables in the groundwater resources of the Tehran-Karaj area for statistical period of 17 years (2004-2021). The results showed that 
combined-wavelet models have higher performance than individual models in estimating three selected variables. So that the performance improvement percentage of the WANFIS model compared to ANFIS and WGEP model compared to GEP, taking into account the evaluation index of root mean square error (RMSE) were obtained (23.713%, 18.018%), (12.581%, 33.116%), and (6.433%, 12.995%) for TH, TDS, and EC variables, respectively. The results indicated a very high spatial and temporal compatibility of the estimated values of the WGEP model with the observed values for all three qualitative variables in the Tehran-Karaj area. The results showed that the concentration of qualitative variables of groundwater resources from the north to the south of the study area has an upward trend for all three qualitative variables. In urban areas, pollution caused by sewage and population increase, as well as in agricultural areas, the use of chemical fertilizers and their continued infiltration into groundwater resources and 
over-extraction of groundwater resources aggravate their pollution. Therefore, in the study area, climatic changes and the type of land use are strongly related to the quality of groundwater resources.
