DDA based grouting prediction and linkage between fracture aperture distribution and grouting characteristics by Xiao, Fei, Shang, Junlong, Zhao, Zhiye

“…The real fracture distribution, however, is inaccessible due to its complex intrinsic properties, making it cumbersome to directly assess its impact on on-site grouting. In this paper, we argued that investigation of the grouting characteristics of a fracture network with a priori aperture distribution is promising to be an alternative approach for understanding the linkage between fracture distribution and grouting characteristics. …”

Experimental investigation of bedding plane orientation on the rockburst behavior of sandstone by He, M. C., Nie, W., Zhao, Z. Y., Guo, Wei

“…Although many in situ investigations provided valuable insights on the rockburst mechanism, the failure and rock fragmentation process during a rockburst cannot be fully examined on the site. In this paper, a modified triaxial rock testing apparatus is employed to investigate the rockburst behavior of oriented sandstone. …”

Predicting rifampicin resistance in M. tuberculosis using machine learning informed by protein structural and chemical features by Lynch, C, Adlard, D, Fowler, P

“…Features derived from the structure of the RNA polymerase or the change in by the mutation were considered, however, only a few, notably the distance from binding site, were found to be predictive on their own. Due to the paucity of Carlo cross-validation with 50 repeats to train four different machine learning models.…”
