Incremental Cost Analysis of Training of Trainers and Helpers in Problem Management Plus (PM+) Using an Ensuring Quality in Psychological Support (EQUIP) Competency-based Approach... by Gloria A. Pedersen, Niko C. Gautam, Kriti Pudasaini, Nagendra P. Luitel, Michael W. Long, Alison Schafer, Brandon A. Kohrt

“…An EQUIP competency-based approach requires initial investment through training of PM+ trainers; thenceforth, differences in time and costs are negligible for training PM+ helpers when using an EQUIP approach compared to a standard approach. Given minimal cost differences and potential benefits for improving provider competency and client safety and outcomes, we recommend greater use of EQUIP. …”

A power extraction approach with load state modification for energy disaggregation by Yusen Zhang, Feng Gao, Kangjia Zhou, Shuquan Wang, Hanzhi Wang

“…In this study, we propose a power extraction approach with load state modification to capture accurate load operating power with minimal influence from usage scenarios. To be specific, the on/off state sequence of appliances is first predicted leveraging existing energy disaggregation methods, and two state modification methods based on non-operating time and operating time of appliances are respectively proposed to modify the erroneous states in sequence. …”

Improvement of Microstructure and Properties of Q235 Steel by Iron-Based Laser Cladding Coating by Yuanwei He, Yu Gu, Li Tang, Hu Wang

“…The grain of sample 3 was finer than that of sample 2, and that of sample 2 was finer than that of sample 1 under the same magnification. Rosin minimized oxidation of the substrate, whereas the gas curtain prevented the entry of air into the molten pool, hence the improved properties of samples 2 and 3 compared with that of sample 1. …”

Microstructural analysis and mechanical properties of Ni35Co25.5Al16Fe15.5Cr8 high-entropy alloy in the as-cast and homogenized conditions by A. Pourferiedouni, S.G. Shabestari

“…In the present work, a non-equimolar hypoeutectic Al–Co–Cr–Fe–Ni high-entropy alloy (HEA) with FCC lattice structure phase matrix and the eutectic compound was prepared via vacuum arc remelting (VAR) followed by homogenized at 1200 °C for 20 h to minimize microsegregation. The as-cast alloy exhibited a dual-phase microstructure, consisting of a primary FCC (face-centered cubic) phase and an interdendritic eutectic region containing both FCC/BCC (body-centered cubic) phases. …”
