Performance of Gel Treatments in Reservoirs with Multiscale Heterogeneity by Ji Ho Lee, Kun Sang Lee

“…Performance of gel treatment has been shown to depend on permeability distribution and permeability values, which are determined by correlation length, variance, and number of scales. Generally, spatially-correlated permeability fields generated with longer correlation length, higher variance, and multiscale lead to higher improvement in the performance of gel treatment. …”

Fiscal vertical imbalance and income inequality: A threshold effect analysis based on government expenditure. by Lan Mao

“…This study aims to investigate the complex relationship between vertical fiscal imbalance, public expenditure structure, and income distribution disparities, with the goal of providing policy insights for achieving shared prosperity. Employing Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) and threshold analysis, the research reveals key findings: (1) an exacerbation of vertical fiscal imbalance significantly widens the urban-rural income gap; (2) public expenditure structure exhibits threshold effects, resulting in non-linear impacts on income disparity; (3) a unique contribution of our study is the identification of varying threshold effects of urban public expenditure on income disparities within rural areas, urban areas, and the gap between them, underscoring the need for targeted fiscal interventions. …”

Modified link prediction algorithm based on AdaBoost by Zu-feng WU, Qi LIANG, Qiao LIU, Zhi-guang QIN

“…The mainstream of current link prediction algorithm based on network topology structure generally have the problem of low efficiency of recalls.Study found that the correct results from some of the link prediction algorithms are complementary,accordingly,the Boosting method was considered to improve it.According to whether there is a link relationship between the nodes,the problem was divided into two categories,thus the link prediction algorithm as a two classification problem was defined.Furthermore,the algorithm complementary principle to select a number of representative link prediction algorithms as weak classifiers was followed,and a novel link prediction algorithm based on the AdaBoost algorithm was come up.The experimental results on the data from real dataset like the arXiv paper cooperation network and E-mail network show that,the novel algorithm has a better accuracy than the current mainstream algorithms.…”
