A Review on Machine Learning Application in Biodiesel Production Studies by Yuanzhi Xing, Zile Zheng, Yike Sun, Masoome Agha Alikhani

“…Biofuel can be used instead of fossil fuel due to environmental benefits and availability to produce various energy sorts like electricity, power, and heating or to sustain transportation fuels. Biodiesel production is an intricate process that requires identifying unknown nonlinear relationships between the system input and output data; therefore, accurate and swift modeling instruments like machine learning (ML) or artificial intelligence (AI) are necessary to design, handle, control, optimize, and monitor the system. …”

“Theatre’s Other: Event and Testimony in British Verbatim Plays” by Clare Finburgh

“…This essay examines four permutations on the verbatim mode: Dennis Kelly’s Taking Care of Baby (2007); and three pieces from a co-authored series of short plays on the 11 September 2001 attacks on the USA (9/11), Decade (2011) – Samuel Adamson’s Recollections of Scott Forbes , Simon Schama’s Epic, and Alexandra Wood’s My Name is Tania Head. Together, they plays enable an interrogation of what happens when theatre’s other – lived events and experiences – are staged. …”

Hydrogen technologies in foundry and metallurgy: current state and perspectives (review) by M. V. Goltsova

“…In the technologies of casting, the preliminary hydrogenation of a number of aluminum melts leads to an increase in the strength limit by 20–30%, and the relative elongation by 15–45%, and also increasing heat resistance after plastic deformation. With the help of hydrogen, it is possible to carry out controlled powdering of intermetallic compounds, to form nanostructures in materials, to accelerate the processes of chemical-thermal treatment, and to cause «artificial polymorphism» in metals that are not polymorphic by its nature.It is concluded that some of hydrogen technologies have already been commercialized, some are still waiting for wide use. …”
