Developing a Robust Model Based on the Gaussian Process Regression Approach to Predict Biodiesel Properties by Inna Pustokhina, Amir Seraj, Hafsan Hafsan, Seyed Mojtaba Mostafavi, S. M. Alizadeh

“…R2 and RMSE are sorted as 0.992 & 0.15697, 0.998 & 0.96580, 0.966 & 1.38659, and 0.968 & 1.56068 for four properties such as KV, IV, CP, and PP, respectively. It is worth to mention this point that the kernel function Squared Exponential shows a great performance for IV and PP and kernel functions Exponential and Matern indicate appropriate efficiency for CP and KV properties, respectively. …”

Luminescence of bound excitons created near sodium impurity ions in KCl:Na single crystals by K. Shunkeyev, А. Kenzhebayeva, A. Krasnikov, V. Nagirnyi, Sh Sagimbayeva, D. Sergeyev, А. Tilep, Zh Ubaev, A. Lushchik

“…The intensity of the X-ray luminescence (XRL) bands peaked at 2.8 and 3.1 eV (emission of recombinationally formed and relaxed ELFs) increases with both, the concentration of sodium impurity ions (10 → 1000 ppm) and the detection temperature (85 → 350 K). It is worth noting that at room temperature, the light yield of these XRL bands in KCl:Na practically coincides with that for the luminescence measured in the same way in classical scintillators, CsI and CsI:Na crystals. …”

Identifying threshold concepts in postgraduate general practice training: a focus group, qualitative study by Katherine Hall, Anna Chae

“…Presented in medical proverbial form for ease of recollection, these included: Money makes the practice go round; Be a legal eagle; Manage time or it will manage you; Guidelines, GPs’ little helpers; Right tool, right word, right place; The whole of the practice is greater than the sum of the parts; The personal enhances the professional; Beat biases by reflection; Chew the Complexity, Unpredictability, Diversity; Embrace the uncertainty; Not knowing is knowing; Seek and you shall find; Waiting and seeing, waiting and being; Look, listen, think between the lines; Treat the patient beyond the disease; No patient is an island; Words work wonders; Hearing is healing; Being you and being there; and; The relationship is worth a thousand consults. These TCs mapped onto core competencies in A/NZ’s PGME in general practice curriculum.Conclusions Participants readily identified transformative and troublesome moments in their PGME in general practice. …”

Numerical Evaluation of the Opening Effects on the Reinforced Concrete Slab Structural Performance by Meysam Aminitabar, Omar Kanaani, Amir Reza Eskenati

“…By adding the area of the opening and loading in X direction, the concentration of the tensile stresses (equivalent to main maximum stresses) was at the tensile edge as well as at the middle of the flooring around the opening. It is worth noting that an increase in the opening’s area caused the number of tensile stresses to be increased at the middle of the flooring. …”

Laboratory information systems for research management in biology by A. M. Mukhin, F. V. Kazantsev, S. A. Lashin

“…It is not always possible to implement such systems in their entirety, but one should still strive to do so through a step­by­step introduction of principles for organizing data and tasks with the mastery of individual software tools. It is worth noting that Trello, Git, and Redmine are easier to use, customize, and support for small research groups. …”

How do crime and neighborhood environment affect transit ridership? Evidence from five metropolitan cities in the Texas Triangle by Qian He, Jianling Li

“…Using stop-level transit ridership and service characteristics data from transit agencies in five metropolitan areas in the Texas Triangle (Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio) in 2018, we find that although the crime rate is negatively associated with ridership, better transit service characteristics such as higher service frequency and shorter average headway are associated with higher ridership, based on results of the negative binomial regression model. …”
