Gas permeability, diffusivity, and solubility in polymers: Simulation-experiment data fusion and multi-task machine learning by Brandon K. Phan, Kuan-Hsuan Shen, Rishi Gurnani, Huan Tran, Ryan Lively, Rampi Ramprasad

“…By amalgamating high throughput generated simulation data with available experimental data for gas permeability, diffusivity, and solubility for various gases, we construct multi-task deep learning models. These models can simultaneously predict all three properties for all gases under consideration, with markedly enhanced predictive accuracy, particularly compared to traditional models reliant solely on experimental data for a singular property. …”

Philosophical biography : some problems of conceptualization by Irina Polyakova

“…A philosopher’s life-course has its own specific character: a dramatic process of (self-) formation, (self-) knowledge, which is impossible to view in a single linear perspective as we are faced with the nonlinear nature of events (thoughts and feelings can take the place of events, if they are deeply experienced and felt by the personality) and with the nonlinear nature of memory, understood as a creative act. …”

A Coupled Thermo-Hydromechanical Model of Soil Slope in Seasonally Frozen Regions under Freeze-Thaw Action by Yongxiang Zhan, Zheng Lu, Hailin Yao, Shaohua Xian

“…In addition, the degree of influence gradually weakens from the outside to the inside of the slope, and the number of freeze-thaw cycles in deep soil is less than that in shallow soil. During the freezing period, water in the unfrozen area rapidly migrates to the frozen area, and the total moisture content abruptly changes at the vicinity of the freezing front. …”
