Correlation between Electrochemical Relaxations and Morphologies of Conducting Polymer Dendrites by Antoine Baron, Enrique H. Balaguera, Sébastien Pecqueur

“…Correlations are established between dispersive capacitances of dendritic morphologies and growth duration, independently from exogenous physical variables: distance, evaporation or aging. Deviation of the anomalous capacitance from the conventional Debye dielectric relaxation can be programmed, as the growth controls the dispersion coefficient of the dendrite's constant-phase elements relaxation. …”

An assessment of the likely impact of strain-related phenotypic plasticity on hominin fossil species identification by M. Collard, S.J. Lycett

“…We divided the measurements into three groups: measurements of features subject to high masticatory strain, measurements of features subject to low-to-moderate masticatory strain, and measurements of features that do not remodel and therefore are not prone to strain-related phenotypic plasticity. Next, we used the coefficient of variation and ANOVA to investigate whether masticatory strain is a cause of variability. …”

Observational partitioning of water and CO₂ fluxes at National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) sites: a 5-year dataset of soil and plant components for spatial... by E. Zahn, E. Bou-Zeid

“…<p>Long-term time series of transpiration, evaporation, plant net photosynthesis, and soil respiration are essential for addressing numerous research questions related to ecosystem functioning. However, quantifying these fluxes is challenging due to the lack of reliable and direct measurement techniques, which has left gaps in the understanding of their temporal cycles and spatial variability. …”

Optimizing Load Frequency Control of Multi-Area Power Renewable and Thermal Systems Using Advanced Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controllers and Catch Fish Algorithm by Saleh A. Alnefaie, Abdulaziz Alkuhayli, Abdullah M. Al-Shaalan

“…Additionally, by contrasting the performance of the PID, PI, cascaded PI(PDN), and FOPID, PI(1+DD) controllers, the efficiency of the CFA is confirmed. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis that considers simultaneous modifications of the frequency bias coefficient (B) and speed regulation (R) within a range of ±25% validates the efficacy and dependability of the suggested CFA-tuned PI(1+DD). …”

Speciation and mobilization of ultra-trace Hg(II) in groundwater by Kunfu PI, Yanxin WANG, Juewen LIU, Ya’nan YANG, Van Cappellen PHILIPPE

“…Applying tests to hydrogeochemically diverse groundwaters from the Grand River Watershed, Canada, the results indicate that the DNA-functionalized hydrogel is able to quickly detect dissolved Hg(II) but inapplicable to low Hg(II) concentrations (<1.60 μg/L), whereas the DNA-DGT sensor can capture variably ultra-trace Hg(II) species depending on the deployment time. …”

Predicting Kinematic Viscosity and Cetane Number of Diesel- Biodiesel Blend Using Neural Network and Empirical Models by M. yari, Gh. Moradi, M. Abdolmaleki, Sh. Bashiri

“…This study tries to estimate two substantial properties of blend, i.e. kinemattic viscosity (KV) and cetane number (CN), through neural network (NN) and empirical models which use pure properties of biodiesel (kinematic viscosity, boiling point, evaporation point, flash point, pour point, heat of combustion, cloud point, and specific gravity) as independent variables. In this regard, a three-layer feed-forward network with varying input parameters, training algorithms, transfer functions, and hidden neurons has been examined to predict the KV and CN of the diesel-biodiesel blend. …”
