Reconstructing Paleofluid Circulation at the Hercynian Basement/Mesozoic Sedimentary Cover Interface in the Upper Rhine Graben by Chrystel Dezayes, Catherine Lerouge

“…We studied orientations, mineral fillings, and fluid origins of fractures that crosscut the Hercynian granitic basement and the Permo-Triassic formations in relation to the major tectonic events. Because the Mesozoic formations and the Hercynian basement on the graben flanks and inside the graben do not have the same evolution after uplift, our study includes 20 outcrops on both graben flanks and cores of the Soultz-sous-Forêts geothermal wells located inside the graben. …”

A proximal policy optimization based deep reinforcement learning framework for tracking control of a flexible robotic manipulator by Joshi Kumar V, Vinodh Kumar Elumalai

“…Although several DRL algorithms have been investigated for a fully observable system, there has been limited studies on devising a DRL control for a partially observable system with uncertain dynamics. Moreover, the major limitation of the existing policy gradient based DRL techniques is that they are computationally expensive and suffer from scalability issues for complex higher order systems. …”
