Time to fill up India’s strategic oil reserves by Narula, K

“…Although oil stocks are generally not released to manage oil prices (the IEA’s intention is to stabilize the market and release stocks only in case of physical shortages), it may be possible to use the stored oil to offset a spike in oil prices, especially for developing countries which have administered oil prices.…”

Rapid process modeling of the aerosol jet printing based on gaussian process regression with latin hypercube sampling by Zhang, Haining, Moon, Seung Ki, Ngo, T. H., Tou, J., Bin Mohamed Yusoff, M. A.

“…Hence, it is necessary to develop a small data set based machine learning approach to model relationship between the process parameters and the line morphology. In this paper, we propose a rapid process modeling method for AJP process and consider sheath gas flow rate, carrier gas flow rate, stage speed as AJP process parameters, and line width and line roughness as the line morphology. …”

Quantifying canine tissue stiffness change patterns using shear-wave elastography: implications for time of death estimation by Ong, Wee Kee, Leong, Sook Sam, Azman, Raja Rizal, Md Shah, Mohammad Nazri, Vijayananthan, Anushya, Lau, Seng Fong

“…The Mann-Whitney U-test and Spearman correlation coefficient showed insignificant correlation between gender and weight with shear-wave velocity (SWV) in ante-mortem scans. The Kruskal-Wallis H-test showed significant differences in SWV for all organs. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”
