Fra kurs til partnerskap? Dekomp som mulig samarbeidsarena – et lærerutdanningsperspektiv by Kristine Haugen Rubilar

“…Based on interviews with ten informants from one teacher training programme, this article illustrates how dekomp has brought the institutions closer together by shifting the focus from teacher training specialists holding courses for teachers, to the reflexive interaction between theory and practice. At the same time, the analysis shows that we are a long way from the establishment of participatory communities where we are able to co-create as partners. …”

Thermocapillary convection in superimposed fluids confined within superhydrophobic surfaces of a microchannel by Radi A. Alsulami, Kanchathan Wasuwatthanakul, Kannan Premnath, Mutabe Aljaghtham, Saad Adam

“…In particular, it is shown that thermo-capillarity generates convective currents with nominally a pair of counter-rotating vortices in each fluid, which is sometimes increased and accompanied by a change in their sense of rotation and the magnitude of the peak velocities by variations in the dimensionless slip coefficient. …”

Toward the calibration of 2D thermomechanical simulations of magma poor passive continental margins: method, validation and case example by Perron, Paul, Le Pourhiet, Laetitia, Jourdon, Anthony, Cornu, Tristan, Gout, Claude

“…By calibrating against a 2D cross-section extracted from the final state of a 3D model, we show that the approach predicts thermal history and deformation paths beyond calibration points. In particular, the thermo-mechanical feedback can help mitigate some uncertainties in the deformation path. …”

Deep learning models reveal the link between dynamic brain connectivity patterns and states of consciousness by Chloé Gomez, Lynn Uhrig, Vincent Frouin, Edouard Duchesnay, Béchir Jarraya, Antoine Grigis

“…We demonstrated the model’s efficiency in summarizing consciousness-specific information encoded in key inter-areal connections, as described in the global neuronal workspace theory of consciousness. The proposed framework advocates the possibility of developing an interpretable computational brain model of interest for disorders of consciousness, paving the way for a dynamic diagnostic support tool.…”

Determine the Inflow Performance Relationship of Water Producing Gas Well Using Multiobjective Optimization Method by Xiao-Hua Tan, Jian-Yi Liu, Jia-Hui Zhao, Xiao-Ping Li, Guang-Dong Zhang, Chuan Tang, Li Li

“…Therefore, the traditional gas-water two-phase inflow performance relationship (IPR) models are not suitable for calculating the water producing gas well inflow performance relationship in water drive gas reservoirs. Based on the basic theory of fluid mechanics in porous medium, using the principle of mass conservation, and considering the process of dissolution and volatilization of gas and water formation, this paper establishes a new mathematical model of gas-water two-phase flow. …”
