Small scale 3D jet scour by Nuramirah Suyin Zaihan

“…Analysis of the compiled data points suggests that the scour hole geometry was influenced by the sediment size of the bed material (d50), the mean velocity of jet at culvert pipe outlet (Uo) and the tailwater depth (Ho). …”

Petrogenesis of Permian high-Mg diorites in the northern margin of the North China Craton: Evidence of crust–mantle interaction by Li, M, Xu, X, Palin, RM

“…The Nd-Hf isotopic compositions of the high-Mg diorites are decoupled as a consequence of interactions between subducting sediment-derived fluids and mantle peridotite. In light of the above, we propose a two-stage process for the formation of the Xinhure high-Mg diorite, comprising (1) partial melting of enriched mantle peridotite followed by (2) interaction between mantle-derived high-Mg diorite melts and continental crust-derived melts. …”

Hybrid-duplex communications for multi-UAV networks : an outage probability analysis by Tan, Ernest Zheng Hui, Madhukumar, A. S., Sirigina, Rajendra Prasad, Krishna, Anoop Kumar

“…Specifically, at low transmit power regimes, it is shown that the HBD-UCS attains lower uplink and downlink outage probability than an HD-UCS, as the UAV operating altitude is increased.…”

“…Children received either 10 μg RH5.1 at 0, 1, and 2 months (Children 10M) or 10 μg RH5.1 at 0, 1, and 6 months (delayed third dose regimen; Children 10D), and were recruited in parallel, followed by children who received the dose-escalation regimen (Children DFx) and children with higher malaria pre-exposure who also received the dose-escalation regimen (High Children DFx). …”

A Framework for Robust Long-Term Voltage Stability of Distribution Systems by Nguyen, Hung D., Dvijotham, Krishnamurthy, Yu, Suhyoun, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…IEEE Power injection uncertainties in distribution power grids, which are mostly induced by aggressive introduction of intermittent renewable sources, may drive the system away from normal operating regimes and potentially lead to the loss of long-term voltage stability (LTVS). …”

Mass transfer studies in shallow bubble column reactors by Lau, Raymond, Lee, Pei Hui Venus, Chen, Tao

“…It is also found that the different dependence of the liquid-side mass transfer coefficient on the superficial gas velocity observed in the literatures is due to the different bubble rising regimes.…”

Exponential tail local Rademacher complexity risk bounds without the Bernstein condition by Kanade, V, Rebeschini, P, Vaškevičius, T

“…Our results apply to improper prediction regimes not directly covered by the classical theory, such as optimal model selection aggregation for arbitrary classes (including infinite and non-convex classes), and early-stopping/iterative regularization; the Bernstein condition does not hold in both examples.…”

Relational persistent homology for multispecies data with application to the tumor microenvironment by Stolz, BJ, Dhesi, J, Bull, JA, Harrington, HA, Byrne, HM, Yoon, IHR

“…We demonstrate that relational topological features can extract biological insight, including the dominant immune cell phenotype (an important predictor of patient prognosis) and the parameter regimes of a data-generating model. The methods provide a quantitative perspective on the relational analysis of multispecies spatial data, overcome the limits of traditional PH, and are readily computable.…”

Crack densification in drying colloidal suspensions by Lilin, Paul, Ibrahim, Mario, Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We show that the final spacing between radial cracks is proportional to the local thickness of the deposit, while the aspect ratio of the crack segments depends on the shape of the deposit.…”

Fine-scale population structure and widespread conservation of genetic effect sizes between human groups across traits by Hu, S, Ferreira, LAF, Shi, S, Hellenthal, G, Marchini, J, Lawson, DJ, Myers, SR

“…To estimate the similarity of genetic effect sizes between groups, we developed ANCHOR, which estimates changes in the predictive power of an existing PGS in distinct local ancestry segments. ANCHOR infers highly similar (estimated correlation 0.98 ± 0.07) effect sizes between UK Biobank participants of African and European ancestry for 47 of 53 quantitative phenotypes, suggesting that gene–environment and gene–gene interactions do not play major roles in poor cross-ancestry PGS transferability for these traits in the United Kingdom, and providing optimism that shared causal mutations operate similarly in different populations.…”

Instabilities in tidal turbine wakes by Smyth, ASM, Nishino, T, Young, AM

“…Unsteady inflow causes the turbine blades to shed vorticity of time-varying strength into the wake, which in turn leads to a spatial variation in wake vortex strength, such that the vorticity of adjacent returning wake segments can differ. This spatial variation triggers the instability of tip vortices, the characteristics of which are shown to be governed by the ’frequency ratio’ ω/ΩNB (where ω is harmonic inflow frequency, Ω is turbine rotational frequency and NB is the number of blades). …”

Deadweight costs and optimal capital structure. by Liang, Huijun., Lim, Wei Ling.
