An encoding scheme capturing generic priors and properties of amino acids improves protein classification by Zhou, Xinrui, Yin, Rui, Zheng, Jie, Kwoh, Chee-Keong

“…Automated feature engineering, i.e., an encoding scheme automating the construction of features, saves the redesigning process and allows the researchers to try different representations with minimal effort. This is more in line with the explosion of data and the goal of building an intelligent system. …”

Design of recursive digital filters using frequency-response masking technique by Liu, Qinglai

“…In the proposed filter class, the bandedge shaping filters are a parallel connection of two allpass filters and the masking filters are approximately linear phase IIR filters composed of a parallel connection of a delay line and an allpass filter. By means of theoretical analysis and computer simulation, we demonstrate that the proposed class of FRM-based IIR filters has much better coefficient sensitivity and roundoff noise performances than conventional IIR filters.…”

Mechanical polishing of fan blade by a prototype random-orbital tool by Danaraj, Edgar Jeevan

“…A range of different abrasive grit sizes was tested for suitability of media selection. Integrating in-line cooled air with deionized water to the process achieved desirable surface roughness, Ra, of 0.8 µm and height profile Rz, of 5.8 µm, while simultaneously removing all traces of scallop height features and maintaining the leading-edge thickness within tolerance. …”
