Data-driven forward and inverse analysis of two-dimensional soil consolidation using physics-informed neural network by Wang, Yu, Shi, Chao, Shi, Jiangwei, Lu, Hu

“…Employing machine learning algorithms to forecast the behavior of nonlinear spatiotemporal systems, such as soil consolidation induced by land reclamation, has been popular in recent years. Although pure data-driven models demonstrate strong performance within their training domain, i.e., in-sample prediction, they lack interpretability and might have poor generalization outside the training domain, i.e., out-of-sample prediction, particularly when the observed geodata is limited. …”

Tin oxide based dye sensitized solar cells by Teh, Jun Jie

“…Besides, common problem of low fill factor (FF) in tin oxide based DSSC has been solved through gallium doping. Optimum gallium doping which moderate up-shift of tin oxide band edge results in better charge injection from dye to electrode and impedes electron from recombination with electrolyte, which in turn to increase Voc and power conversion efficiency. …”

Entrapping of inclusions within carbon nanotubes during catalytic decomposition of C2H4 on a “thick” nickel film by Li, Feng Ji, Zhang, Sam, Sun, Geng Zhi, Kong, Jun Hua, Rawat, R. S., Ilyas, Usman, Li, Bo

“…It was found that pretreating of the nickel film resulted in lots of small nanoparticles extruding on the surface, among big ones, serving as seeds for the growth of tubes. The inner walls of a few tubes were sealed internally by multiple elongated “beads-like,” “bullet-shaped” or “needle-shaped” nickel inclusions. …”

Efficient threshold function secret sharing with information-theoretic security by Luo, Jinglong, Zhang, Liang Feng, Lin, Fuchun, Lin, Changlu

“…Specifically, a (t, n)-TFSS scheme with communication complexity O(l) is designed in this paper and it is better than the existing FSS schemes with lowest communication complexity O(λl), where λ is the length of pseudo-random generator's seeds. In addition, the (t, n)-TFSS have an extra robustness property in the sense that even if up to (n - t) function shares are not available, the protocol still computes the function value at a given point correctly.…”

Intelligent database design for microgrids in low voltage distribution systems-I GUI and database design by Ng, Pei Fen

“…Climatic change can lead to consequences such as increasing cases of heat-related illness, endangering wildlife like polar bears and rising of sea level that would trigger natural disasters leading to individual losing their homes. [51] Due to extensively use of electricity in this contemporary society, there arises a need to seek for alternative energy sources, if at all possible renewable resources such as wind and solar. …”

论李世民音乐政治观对儒家礼乐思想的继承和转化 = A study on Li Shimin music-politics: inheritance and transformation of Confucian ritual and music thought by 许惠佳 Koh, Hwee Kay

“…To a certain extent, he had inherited Yueji, Confucian ritual and Music thought - which extensively covers the social influence and educational function of music to society – while at the same time, his Music-politics thought bears much resemblance to those of Ji Kang. This article hopes to explore in detail Li Shimin’s Music-politics thought, and by using Yueji as a comparison, analyses how his inheritance and transformation of Confucian Ritual and Music thought played an important role in shaping the Tang Culture.…”

Distributed execution of workflow by Khademi Hedayat, Maryam

“…The main reasons which led us to this selection are: (i) there is few existing work on partitioning workflow, specially as a means of accelerating workflow execution; (ii) several systems have been developed using three main enactment models (i.e., centralized, hierarchical, and distributed models), but most of them focus on centralized execution control while the existing hierarchical and distributed models still have problems such as high overhead in communication amongst the distributed parties; and (iii) data movement mechanisms are divided into: centralized, mediated, and peer-to-peer models. …”
