Predicting drivers’ route trajectories in last-mile delivery using a pair-wise attention-based pointer neural network by Mo, Baichuan, Wang, Qingyi, Guo, Xiaotong, Winkenbach, Matthias, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Results from an extensive case study on real operational data from Amazon’s last-mile delivery operations in the US show that our proposed method can significantly outperform traditional optimization-based approaches and other machine learning methods (such as the Long Short-Term Memory encoder–decoder and the original pointer network) in finding stop sequences that are closer to high-quality routes executed by experienced drivers in the field. …”

Ultramafic Alteration and the Cooling of Earth and Mars by Murray, Joshua

“…Due to their instability, they play an out-sized role in Earth's long-term carbon cycle. My first chapter investigates a hitherto unappreciated mechanism by which ultramafic rocks serve as a carbon sink, through the formation of high-surface-area clays and the resultant burial of organic carbon. …”

Arthroscopic Bone Block and Arthroscopic Latarjet for Anterior Shoulder Dislocation—Technical Note with Tricks and Tips for Conversion and Successful Surgery by Longo, Umile Giuseppe, Marcello, Gianmarco, Nazarian, Ara, DeAngelis, Joseph, D’Hooghe, Margaux, D’Hooghe, Pieter

“…Many factors should be considered when choosing the right surgical technique, and treatment plans must be customized for each patient. More studies with long-term follow-up are needed to evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic bone grafting procedures in various subtypes of patients based on bipolar bone loss assessment and individual risk factors.…”

Growth of myxococcus xanthus in continuous-flow-cell bioreactors as a method for studying development by Smaldone, Gregory T., Jin, Yujie, Whitfield, Damion L., Mu, Andrew Y., Wong, Edward C., Wuertz, Stefan, Singer, Mitchell

“…Our data show that by using a flow cell, M. xanthus can be held in a vegetative growth state at low nutrient concentrations for long periods, and then, by slightly decreasing the nutrient concentration, cells can be allowed to initiate the developmental program.…”

PDMS-coated porous PVDF hollow fiber membranes for efficient recovery of dissolved biomethane from anaerobic effluents by Sethunga, Godakooru Sethunga Mudiyanselage Dilhara Prebhashwari, Karahan, Huseyin Enis, Wang, Rong, Bae, Tae-Hyun

“…Mass transfer analyses have confirmed the importance of preserving bulk porosity while coating the membrane surfaces. The long-term performance tests performed using actual anaerobic effluents suggested that the PDMS coating did not accelerate fouling, such that the lumen-modified MC membranes showed an almost steady flux for 8 days with an anaerobic membrane bioreactor effluent. …”

V4C3TxMXene : a promising active substrate for reactive surface modification and the enhanced electrocatalytic oxygen evolution activity by Du, Cheng‐Feng, Sun, Xiaoli, Yu, Hong, Fang, Wei, Jing, Yao, Wang, Yonghui, Li, Shuiqing, Liu, Xianhu, Yan, Qingyu

“…Attributed to the in situ reconstruction of highly active oxide hydroxide layer, the nanohybrids exhibited an enhanced oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and excellent long‐time stability over 70 hours. In particular, a current density of 10 mA cm−2 can be reached by the nanohybrid with the optimized Ni/Fe ratio at an overpotential (η) as low as 275.2 mV, which is comparable to most of the state‐of‐the‐art OER catalysts and better than other MXene‐based derivatives. …”
