AI techniques in CFD: leveraging physical priors with deep learning to improve on numerical solvers by Loh, Jessica Sher En

“…Additionally, it extends the use of residual training to improve flow field prediction for a GNN scenario with immersed object, when low resolution data is available. Lastly, the third part aims to enhance flow predictions around complex geometries, which may often be deconstructed into multiple, simple bodies, by leveraging existing data on these single geometry flow fields. …”

Design and growth of high-power gallium nitride light-emitting diodes by Zhang, Zihui

“…We have also suggested InGaN/GaN LED devices with the electron overflow reduction through incorporating n-type InGaN layer and n-type AlGaN layer into the n-GaN layer, respectively, accompanied with which a mean-free-path model has been proposed and demonstrated to explain the mechanism of the electron overflow reduction through decreasing the electron mean free path. Lastly, as it has been mentioned previously, the low p-type conductivity in the InGaN/GaN LEDs has substantially limited the LED performance. …”

Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Brauer, M, Roth, GA, Aravkin, AY, Bandyopadhyay, S, Bennett, DA, Browne, AJ, Graham, SM, Rodriguez, JAB, Runghien, T, Sartorius, B

“…<p><b>Findings</b></p> Among the specific risk factors analysed for this study, particulate matter air pollution was the leading contributor to the global disease burden in 2021, contributing 8·0% (95% UI 6·7–9·4) of total DALYs, followed by high systolic blood pressure (SBP; 7·8% [6·4–9·2]), smoking (5·7% [4·7–6·8]), low birthweight and short gestation (5·6% [4·8–6·3]), and high fasting plasma glucose (FPG; 5·4% [4·8–6·0]). For younger demographics (ie, those aged 0–4 years and 5–14 years), risks such as low birthweight and short gestation and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing (WaSH) were among the leading risk factors, while for older age groups, metabolic risks such as high SBP, high body-mass index (BMI), high FPG, and high LDL cholesterol had a greater impact. …”

Tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy versus non‐surgical treatment for chronic/recurrent acute tonsillitis by Burton, MJ, Glasziou, PP, Chong, LY, Venekamp, RP
