Pseudo-Target Optimization Strategy Based on Policy Iteration Algorithm by Yiming Meng, Daichen Liu, Ziyuan Wang

“…With autonomous robots becoming increasingly integrated into human society, the efficiency of their path optimization is of paramount importance. To address the issue of redundant states in the application of the policy iteration algorithm in the environmental model optimization process and to accelerate the convergence speed of the algorithm, this paper proposes a pseudo-target optimization algorithm based on the policy iteration algorithm in combination with the Manhattan distance. …”

What Else Can Grieg’s Historical Recordings Tell Us? by Arnulf Christian Mattes

“…The remastered release of Grieg’s collected recordings from 1992 by the label SIMAX offers a unique access to Grieg’s performances of his own works. The overall issue, what a modern listener might learn from a historical audio document like this, will be addressed in the examination of a selected track on the historical recording: the ‘Norwegian Bridal Procession’ (Brudefølget drar forbi), No. 2 in Pictures from Folk Life, Op. 19, belonged to his most popular pieces and was recorded by Grieg both on piano roll and gramophone disc. …”

Multiphysics Studies of 3D Plate Fin Heat Exchanger Filled with Ortho-Para-Hydrogen Conversion Catalyst for Hydrogen Liquefaction by Liangguang Tang, Doki Yamaguchi, Jose Orellana, Wendy Tian

“…The findings revealed that the ortho-para hydrogen conversion kinetic parameter predominantly governs operations requiring high gas hourly space velocity, particularly in large-scale hydrogen liquefaction processes. Furthermore, a significant pressure drop within the catalytic filled channel was observed; however, operating at higher pressure mitigates this issue while mildly enhancing ortho-para hydrogen conversion kinetics.…”
