GBGVD: growth-based geodesic Voronoi diagrams by Qi, Yunjia, Zong, Chen, Zhang, Yunxiao, Chen, Shuangmin, Xu, Minfeng, Ran, Lingqiang, Xu, Jian, Xin, Shiqing, He, Ying

“…Generally speaking, each ordinary bisector point of the GVD is determined by two adjacent generators while each branching point of the GVD is given by at least three generators. When there are sufficiently many generators, straight-line distance serves as an effective alternative of geodesic distance for computing GVDs. …”

Our model achieves excellent performance on movielens: what does it mean? by Fan, Yu-Chen, Ji, Yitong, Zhang, Jie, Sun, Aixin

“…However, models that achieve excellent recommendation accuracy on the MovieLens dataset may not demonstrate superior performance in practice, for at least two kinds of differences: (1) the differences in the contexts of user-item interaction generation, and (2) the differences in user knowledge about the item collections. …”

Design of slender concrete column using chinese design code GB50010-2010 by Chen, Qiaofen

“…Data analyses reveal that loading capacity of slender column decreases with the increase of e/h, and the reduction of strength tends to be lesser for higher e/h; slender column tends to have less loading capacity with the increase of L/h, and the reduction of strength is lesser for high L/h; slender concrete column can be strengthened by installing more reinforcements, i.e. higher percentage of reinforcement; last but not least, use of higher strength concrete and steel result in a stronger slender concrete column. …”
