Proton internal pressure from deeply virtual Compton scattering on collider kinematics by H. Dutrieux, T. Meisgny, C. Mezrag, H. Moutarde

“…Abstract The unique experimental connection to the QCD energy–momentum tensor offered by generalised parton distributions has been strongly highlighted in the past few years with attempts to extract the pressure and shear forces distributions within the nucleon. If, in principle, this can be performed in a model independent way from experimental data, in practice, the current limited precision and kinematic coverage make such an extraction very challenging. …”

A New Processing Method Combined with BP Neural Network for Francis Turbine Synthetic Characteristic Curve Research by Junyi Li, Canfeng Han, Fei Yu

“…A BP (backpropagation) neural network method is employed to solve the problems existing in the synthetic characteristic curve processing of hydroturbine at present that most studies are only concerned with data in the high efficiency and large guide vane opening area, which can hardly meet the research requirements of transition process especially in large fluctuation situation. The principle of the proposed method is to convert the nonlinear characteristics of turbine to torque and flow characteristics, which can be used for real-time simulation directly based on neural network. …”
