Prediction of stable perovskite quantum dots (QDs) using machine learning (ML) algorithms by Cheong, Ivan

“…However, they have not been widely studied, with applications limited to solar cells and catalytic activity, the full extent of possible applications are yet to be realised. At the nano regime the properties are often different and can be controlled, this is due to quantum confinement and larger surface to volume ratio, which can be adjusted by controlling the size, subsequently able to use for various application. …”

Theoretical study on forced convection filmwise condensation inside converging channels in the presence of a non-condensable gas by Liu, Pengfei, Ho, Jin Yao, Kandasamy, Ranjith, Wong, Teck Neng

“…When the air mass fraction is high (W=0.4), the enhancement ratio appears to be insensitive to the Reynolds number in the laminar and turbulent regime, respectively. In addition, the enhancement ratio generally increases as the air mass fraction increases.…”

High cycle fatigue characterisation and modelling of 316L stainless steel processed by laser powder bed fusion by Zhang, Meng

“…In the presence of tensile mean stress, variations in the plastic deformation properties, as demonstrated by the effects of build orientation and post-processing treatments (annealing or hot isostatic pressing), were found to induce cyclic plasticity, which led to strong fatigue-ratcheting interactions in the high cycle fatigue regime. The simultaneous actions of ratcheting and fatigue generate complex nonlinear relationships between the stress amplitude and mean stress parameters, such that the fatigue properties could not be effectively predicted using traditional stress-based models. …”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…Research findings supported the hypotheses that agricultural transformation was impeded by the three factors: 1) an industrialisation-inspired de-facto currency overvaluation regime removed farmers’ potential to capture export markets, the latter serving as a “carrot” for adopting innovation; 2) trade protectionist policies in the rice sector removed import competition as a “stick” for adopting innovation; and 3) industrialisation- and land reform-related capital scarcity among smallholder farmers hindered the dynamics of IIA from taking place. …”

Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 98

“…The problem is that lower oil revenues also affect industry, forcing operators to review their investment portfolios to focus on the best regimes and geological prospects.</p> <p>The region’s recent positive developments are taking place against a background where a large number of countries in the region (including Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guyana, and Suriname) have fallen out of favour with oil and gas investors, in some cases for a number of years. …”

Relationship between synoptic scale meteorology, aircraft parameters, and observable contrails by Barbosa, Maria Paula

“…All algorithms rely on the use of "similarity measures" which we define as the differences in distance, heading, and altitude between a contrail and flight line segment candidates. We define two-dimensional (2D) algorithms as those that use only distance and heading difference measures and the ones that additionally include altitude as three-dimensional (3D) algorithms. …”
