Leveraging Topic Features in Prediction of Social Network Community Evolutions by Rahman Nahi Abid, Hassan Naderi

“…We employed three predictive classifiers to assess the significance of topical features and compared their performance against and in combination with structural features across both datasets. Our findings not only demonstrate the effectiveness of topical features in predicting community evolution with high accuracy across different languages, but also highlight significant variations in feature effectiveness between linguistic contexts, along with substantial reduction in execution time compared to existing approaches.…”

Getting to the Point: Defining, Reconstructing and Investigating Shape Through a Procrustean Protocol by Ben R. Wigley, Paul G. Blackwell

“…Similarly, following a simulation study, it was found the best approach to imputing missing points will depend upon the level of missingness and can have important implications for the identification of statistical signals, such as structural modularity. In summary, in addition to an open-access digitisation template, a flexible protocol is presented which can be adapted to define, capture and reconstruct shape variation to investigate a diverse spectrum of hypotheses in archaeological materials (e.g., bones, lithics, sediments).…”

SEAL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF FRACTURING PUMP V-SHAPED COMBINATION PLUNGER BASED ON FLUID PRESSURE PENETRATION by ZHAO Mingbo, HOU Yongjun, TANG Ruihuan, LI Huachuan, LIU Youping

“…A two-stage differential pressure plunger seal structure was proposed, and the sealing performance analysis of the structure was carried out.The results show that the maximum contact pressure of the seals all appear in the V-shaped sealing ring near the high-pressure fluid side, and the maximum stress is mainly in the lip and shoulder of the V-shaped sealing ring in contact with the support ring and press ring, the V-shaped sealing ring is more likely to fail on the side in contact with the plunger. …”
