Rotor-Bearing System Stability Performance Comparing Hybrid versus Conventional Bearings by Julio Gomez-Mancilla, Valeri Nosov, Gerardo Silva-Navarro

“…For typical bearings characteristics, expressions yield stability thresholds practically equal to those reported by Lund (1966). The hybrid bearing design has a single injection port whose location is so chosen to stabilize the bearing performance and to reduce the steady equilibrium attitude angle. …”

High-Intensity Interval Training as an Efficacious Alternative to Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training for Adults with Prediabetes by Mary E. Jung, Jessica E. Bourne, Mark R. Beauchamp, Emily Robinson, Jonathan P. Little

“…Cardiorespiratory fitness and systolic blood pressure assessed at one-month follow-up were equally improved (P’s < 0.05). Conclusions. This study provides preliminary evidence that individuals with prediabetes can adhere to HIIT over the short-term and do so at a level that is greater than MICT.…”

Time Series Analysis of Production Decline in Carbonate Reservoirs with Machine Learning by Liqiang Wang, Mingji Shao, Gen Kou, Maoxian Wang, Ruichao Zhang, Zhengzheng Wei, Xiao Sun

“…For example, prediction errors based on multiple regression machine learning methods are relatively large, and deep learning sample requirements and the actual conditions of reservoir management do not match. In this study, a new equal probability gene expression programming (EP-GEP) method was developed to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional Arps decline model in the production decline analysis of carbonate reservoirs. …”

An Unusual Case of Anti-GBM Antibody Elevation in HIV-Associated Nephropathy by Vinay Minocha, Raafat Makary, Andreea Poenariu

“…The most commonly seen glomerular disease in HIV infected patients is HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN); however, a multitude of other nephropathies can occur in HIV infection with an almost equal cumulative frequency. We report an unusual case of a patient with clinical and histological evidence of HIVAN in which the diagnosis was initially confounded by the finding of an elevated serum anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody. …”
