Machine learning approach to student performance prediction of online learning. by Jing Wang, Yun Yu

“…The critical thought is that eleven learning behavioral indicators are constructed according to online learning process, following that, through analyzing the correlation between the eleven learning behavioral indicators and the scores obtained by students online learning, we filter out those learning behavioral indicators that are weakly correlated with student scores, meanwhile, retain these learning behavior indicators being strongly correlated with student scores, which are used as the eigenvalue indicators. …”

Dopamine Appetite and Cognitive Impairment in Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder by Jonathan Williams, Eric Taylor

“…The TD model contains four parameters: the learning rate, discounting for future rewards, brittleness (randomness) of behavior, and action bias. The results show that the basic TD model accounts well for control performance in trials of 5 sec, 10 sec, and 15 sec duration; but not for the deficits in ADHD performance at 5 sec and 15 sec. …”

Response of the Flat Reinforced Concrete Floor Slab with Openings under Cyclic In-Plane Loading by Eden Shukri Kalib, Yohannes Werkina Shewalul

“…The effects of opening sizes (7%, 14%, 25%, and 30% of the total area of the slab), opening shapes (elliptical, circular, L-shaped, T-shaped, cross, and rectangular), and location on the hysteretic behavior of the floor slab were considered. The research indicated that openings in RC floor slabs reduce the energy absorption capacity and stiffness of the floor slab. …”

Quasi-Babinet principle in dielectric resonators and Mie voids by Masoud Hamidi, Kirill Koshelev, Sergei Gladyshev, Adrià Canós Valero, Mario Hentschel, Harald Giessen, Yuri Kivshar, Thomas Weiss

“…These so-called Mie voids represent a counterpart to solid high-index dielectric Mie resonators, offering novel functionality such as resonant behavior in the ultraviolet spectral region. However, the well-known and highly useful Babinet's principle, which relates the scattering of solid and inverse structures, is not strictly applicable for this dielectric case as it is only valid for infinitesimally thin perfect electric conductors. …”
