Law of conservation-guided neural network with gradient aggregation for improved energy efficiency optimization in industrial processes by Santi Bardeeniz, Chanin Panjapornpon, Moonyong Lee

“…Incorporation of physical laws governing energy systems can improve performance and physical consistency, but the model often struggles with the calculation of loss and ignores dynamic interplays between sub-systems, which can result in oversimplification and a lack of practical applicability. Therefore, this study investigated a theoretical framework for developing a law of conservation-guided neural network aimed at enhancing energy efficiency prediction in industrial systems. …”

Observed upper-ocean structure and seasonal production in the southern Kerguelen Plateau region, 1994-2021 by Man Liang, Annie Foppert, Annie Foppert, Karen J. Westwood, Karen J. Westwood, Sophie Bestley, Sophie Bestley

“…Our results show that the major oceanographic fronts are constrained within the narrow Princess Elizabeth Trough, between the southern Kerguelen Plateau and the Antarctic slope. Therefore, the Southern Boundary and the Southern ACC Front (SACCF) are often co-located, albeit with some interannual variability, with the location of the SACCF ranging from roughly 63°S to 65°S. …”
