Improved visible light-responsive bisphenol A photodegradation utilizing TiO2/WS2 photocatalytic membranes with energy storage ability by Ismail, Nurul Jannah, Othman, Mohd. Hafiz Dzarfan, Zakria, Hazirah Syahirah, Borhamdin, Suhaila, Moslan, Mohd. Shahrizan, Puteh, Mohd. Hafiz, Jaafar, Juhana, Hashim, Norbaya, Kerisnan, Nirmala Devi, Yahaya, Nasehir Khan E. M.

“…In terms of energy storage, the 0.5 wt% TiO2/WS2 photocatalytic membrane exhibits a BPA photocatalytic performance resulting in 51.0% photodegradation, while the rejection rate reaches 27.4% for BPA removal after 120 min. In conclusion, the TiO2/WS2 photocatalytic membrane serves as a versatile solution, enhancing both photocatalytic degradation and rejection capabilities, with potential for energy storage in removing BPA from aquatic environments, regardless of light presence.…”

Missing Data by Jungs de Almeida, Alessandra, Klein, Lauren, D’Ignazio, Catherine

“…While some might refer to data that is literally absent, as in statistical approaches to missing data that attempts to interpolate what might fill in the gaps,1 others, such as the artist and educator Mimi Ọnụọha, take “missing data” to mean something more political — “something [that] does not exist, but it should.”2 In the same line as Ọnụọha, our definition of missing data refers to information that goes uncounted (or otherwise unrecorded), despite social and political demands that such data should be collected and made available. …”

A training algorithm and stability analysis for recurrent neural networks by Xu, Zhao, Song, Qing, Wang, Danwei, Fan, Haijin

“…Besides, the transient response of learning process of RNNs is a critical issue, especially for on-line applications. Conventional RNNs training algorithms such as the backpropagation through time (BPTT) and real-time recurrent learning (RTRL) have not adequately satisfied these requirements because they often suffer from slow convergence speed. …”
