La musica da film e la costruzione dell'immaginario turistico nei blockbuster hollywoodiani by Marie-Hélène Chevrier, Chloé Huvet

“…Questo cambio di scenario, lungi dal dipendere esclusivamente dai luoghi delle riprese, è infatti sapientemente orchestrato, nel vero senso del termine. Si tratterà qui di mostrare come le musiche composte per questi film partecipino alla creazione dei topoi (“India dei Maharaja”, “Egitto dei Faraoni”, ecc.) favorendo l'esotismo e l'orientalismo, in particolare attraverso l'uso di strumenti e motivi musicali locali e attraverso la rappresentazione, su schermo, di pratiche musicali e artistiche tradizionali (canto, danza, ecc.). …”

An Efficient Modified AZPRP Conjugate Gradient Method for Large-Scale Unconstrained Optimization Problem by Ahmad Alhawarat, Thoi Trung Nguyen, Ramadan Sabra, Zabidin Salleh

“…To find a solution of unconstrained optimization problems, we normally use a conjugate gradient (CG) method since it does not cost memory or storage of second derivative like Newton’s method or Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) method. Recently, a new modification of Polak and Ribiere method was proposed with new restart condition to give a so-call AZPRP method. …”

The Enrichment Mechanism of REE at Sulfate and Methane Transition Zone (SMTZ) of the Northern Part of the South China Sea by Xie Rui, Wu Daidai, Wei Jiangong, Wang Liaoliang, Liu Lihua, Li Wenjing, Wu Gang, Guo Xudong

“…In this paper, thirty sediments samples and eleven sediments samples were collected at the site SH3 and SH1 of Shenhu area, respectively. The trace elements, major elements, and different Fe-Mn minerals were analyzed to investigate the role of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in the enrichment of rare earth elements in the marine sediments. …”

Predictive modelling of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets yield through machine and deep learning: An ultrasonic exfoliation parametric evaluation by Jerrin Joy Varughese, Sreekanth M․S․

“…A suite of machine learning regression models including Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost) Regressor, Random Forest (RF) Regressor, Linear Regressor (LR), and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) Regressor, was employed alongside a deep neural network (DNN) architecture optimized using various algorithms such as Adaptive Moment Estimation (Adam), Root Mean Square Propagation (RMS Prop), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), and Limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (L-BFGS). The DNN with the Adam optimizer achieved the highest accuracy (R² = 0.98423), demonstrating superior predictive capability compared to other ML and DL models. …”

Esterification of Oleic Acid for Biodiesel Production Using a Semibatch Atomization Apparatus by Marcell S. Deus, Katherine C. O. Deus, Daniel S. Lira, Jackson A. Oliveira, Carlos E. A. Padilha, Domingos F. S. Souza

“…A hybrid estimation of parameters (pre-exponential factor, activation energy, and equilibrium and solubility constants) was performed using particle swarm optimization followed by the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno method. The Pareto analysis has shown that the increase in temperature in the reactor and the increase in atomization pressure have improved the conversion of oleic acid. …”
