Intelligent Critical Path Computation Algorithm Utilising Ant Colony Optimisation for Complex Project Scheduling by Xiaokang Han, Wenzhou Yan, Mei Lu

“…The results show that a peak number of optimal solutions appeared at approximately the 9th iteration; however, instabilities and continued fluctuations were observed even afterward, indicating that the algorithm has a certain randomness. Convergence is apparent at the 29th iteration; after the 34th iteration, a singular optimal solution, the longest or critical path, is obtained, indicating that the convergence rate can be controlled and that the critical path can be obtained by setting appropriate parameters in the solution method. …”

Effect of High Temperature (600°C) on Mechanical Properties, Mineral Composition, and Microfracture Characteristics of Sandstone by Jian Li, Zhao-Wen Du, Zhong-Ping Guo

“…The results show the following. (1) There is no significant change in the tensile strength and fracture toughness of Sichuan sandstone treated at 600°C. (2) The brittleness of Sichuan sandstone decreases and the ductility increases after high-temperature treatment. (3) The unstable fracture toughness value Kun obtained by the double-K model (DKFM) is significantly larger than the apparent fracture toughness value Kif. (4) After treatment at 600°C, the clay minerals in the sandstone changed significantly. …”

Order/disorder in electrodeposited aluminum-titanium alloys by Stafford G.R., Tsuda T., Hussey C.L.

“…Alloys containing up to 28 % atomic fraction Ti were electrodeposited at 150 °C from 2:1 AlCl3-NaCl with controlled additions of Ti2+. The apparent limit on alloy composition is proposed to be due to a mechanism by which Al3Ti forms through the reductive decomposition of [Ti(AlCl4)3]-. …”

Morphology and Climatology of Nighttime Periodic Ionospheric TEC Disturbances Associated With MSTIDs Over China by Ke Li, Donghe Zhang, Yi Zeng, Yaoyu Tian, Guanglin Yang, Yongqiang Hao

“…The disturbances in the eastern region exhibit similarities with electrified MSTIDs, which are closely related to Perkins instability, whereas the western disturbance region does not display apparent movement, but exhibits a higher occurrence rate and longer durations, which may be attributed to the frequent upward propagation of GWs in the southeastern region of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau.…”
