Investigation on the microstructure evolution and deformation behavior of Mg–2Zn-0.5Mn-0.2Ca-xNd/yLa alloy by in-situ tensile by Jie Mi, Shengquan Liang, Shiyu Luan, Qianlong Ren, Xin Che, Peipeng Jin

“…The Nd–Zn phase rich in Zn layer promote dislocation transfer and improve the plasticity of alloy B, while more Mg–Zn phase and Mg–Mn phase in alloy A pin dislocations and improve strength. In addition, tensile twins are produced during the tensile of the two alloys and the content is similar, but the extremely low twin content makes its effect on the mechanical properties of the two alloys negligible. …”

Comparative analysis of transfer learning performance on generalised EEG data for use in a depression diagnosis task by Shusharina, Natalia Nikolaevna

“…Although the considered method of transient learning looks promising, the specificity of electroencephalogram signals and problems solved on their basis requires large-scale adaptation of algorithms and contrastive optimisation techniques for effective training of the target task. It is also worth noting the crucial role of the representativeness of the data set for training the donor network, since it is the completeness of real observations that increases the effectiveness of augmentation, which leads to an increase in the number of “useful” features in the latent space of the network and the best conditions for transfer learning in the target task. …”
