Environmental Efficiency of Node Cities in Chinese Section of Silk Road Economic Zone and Its Influencing Factors by Lei Zhang, Xinyu Peng

“…The results show that the ten node cities had an overall low environmental efficiency and a large gap in environmental efficiency, highlighting the necessity of cross-regional cooperation in emission reduction and the promotion of environmental technologies between regions; the environmental efficiency gaps between node cities and between the three regions started to narrow in 2016 and 2018, respectively, showing a certain convergence trend. …”

Effects of N/Ne impurity seeding on the divertor asymmetry in HL-2A tokamak by Qingyi Tan, Haoran Ye, Xueyu Gong, Yijun Zhong, Qianhong Huang, Zhe Wang, Chengzhi Cao, Zhanhui Wang, Cailong Fu, Min Xu, Tao Yang

“…However, when under the detached divertor condition, the increased asymmetry in energy and particle flux is primarily attributed to impurity seeding, which narrows the ion source generation in the inner divertor while broadening the ion sink region compared to the outer divertor.…”

Empirical Procedures for the Analysis of Physisorption Isotherms by Kenneth S.W. Sing, Ruth T. Williams

“…The interpretation of α S -plots is based on established principles underlying the mechanisms of physisorption: monolayer–multilayer adsorption, preferential filling of narrow micropores (ultramicropores), monolayer adsorption followed by the filling of wider micropores (supermicropores) and capillary condensation in mesopores. …”

3D Seismic Attribute Conditioning Using Multiscale Sheet-Enhancing Filtering by Taiyin Zhao, Yuehua Yue, Tian Chen, Feng Qian

“…In this study, we choose sheet-like structures as this concise structural representation, as faults are typically characterized by their thin and narrow profiles. Inspired by multiscale Hessian-based filtering (MHF) and its application on vascular structure detection, we propose a method called anisotropic multiscale Hessian-based sheet-enhancing filtering (AMHSF). …”

Improved Low-Complexity Demodulation: Integrating Minimum-Mean-Square-Error and Maximum-Likelihood Detection for Image-Sensor-Based Visible Light Communication by Yuki Ohira, Shintaro Arai, Kengo Fujii, Tomohiro Yendo

“…Through iterative refinement using low-complexity detectors such as those based on zero-forcing (ZF), and minimum-mean-square error (MMSE), our method substantially narrows the search space for the MLD, thus striking a balance between demodulation performance and computational efficiency. …”

Theoretical understanding of gradients of spike functions as boolean functions by DongHyung Yoo, Doo Seok Jeong

“…Unfortunately, the error-backpropagation algorithm with this gradient function fails to outperform popularly employed surrogate gradients, which may arise from the narrow peak of the gradient function and consequent potential undershoot and overshoot around the spiking threshold with coarse timesteps. …”

Tailoring International Pronunciation Activities for Hungarian Learners of English by Noémi Gyurka, Ágnes Piukovics

“…While there are a few studies that briefly touch upon the learners’ attitudes towards pronunciation, there is limited data concerning the ways in which pronunciation could be integrated into the Hungarian English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. Therefore, to narrow down the gap, this paper aims to investigate how international pronunciation activities could be modified when teaching Hungarian learners specifically, and how these activities could be integrated successfully into the classroom. …”
