Neural combinatorial optimization: from routing to integer programming by Wu, Yaoxin

“…Since ODAs often encounter difficulties in handling scalarized problems, which could cause infeasibility or repetitive nondominated points and thus induce redundant runtime, we present a graph neural network (GNN) based method to learn the reduction rule in the ODA. …”

Failure analysis and characterization for microelectronic packaging by Lin, Pamela

“…The presence of structural defects generally weakens the integrity of Si, particularly for the (100) oriented Si subjected to tensile loading in the [010] direction, its integrity is much more sensitive to these structural defects. The three-point bend test is also performed to investigate the crystallographic orientation and defects effects and the experimental results are found to be consistent with the MD results. …”

Next generation design of floating systems for coastal solar farms by Bi, Cheng

“…Experiments on a novel adaptive barrier-mooring system (ABMS) including perimeter pontoons, submerged barriers, clump weights, mooring lines and anchors were conducted to examine the adaptivity of ABMS to a large tidal range as well as its performance on platform stabilization under wave action. …”

Evolutionary explanations and the debunking of moral beliefs by Cofnas, N

“…Antirealists, on the other hand, often point to seemingly intractable cross-cultural moral disagreement as evidence against realism (the "argument from disagreement"). …”

Interventions for smoking cessation in hospitalised patients by Streck, JM, Rigotti, NA, Livingstone-Banks, J, Tindle, HA, Clair, C, Munafò, MR, Sterling-Maisel, C, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…Evidence for bupropion was low‐certainty; the point estimate indicated a modest benefit at best, but CIs were wide and incorporated clinically significant harm and clinically significant benefit (RR 1.11, 95% CI 0.86 to 1.43, 4 studies, 872 participants).…”
