Optimisation of the performance and structure of soluble ball seat metal sealing rings based on response surface by CHEN Zhen, RAN Qingjie, CHEN Nengpeng, WANG Qiaomu

“…The increase of groove parameters (groove width and depth) can enhance the contact pressure, and at the same time, increase the equivalent stress, which may lead to local strength deficiency.Through the sensitivity analysis, the sensitivity coefficients of the radius of the metal seal ring to the equivalent force and contact pressure were found to reach 0.67 and 0.82, which were the dominant variables affecting the sealing performance; the width and depth of the grooves regulated the stress distribution through the geometric compensation mechanism. …”

Time-varying MVAR algorithms for directed connectivity analysis: Critical comparison in simulations and benchmark EEG data. by Mattia F Pagnotta, Gijs Plomp

“…Results from numerical simulations and from benchmark EEG recordings showed that: i) across a broad range of model orders all algorithms correctly reproduced patterns of interactions; ii) signal downsampling degraded connectivity estimation accuracy for most algorithms, although in some cases downsampling was shown to reduce variability in the estimates by lowering the number of parameters in the model; iii) single-trial modeling followed by averaging showed optimal performance with larger adaptation coefficients than previously suggested, and showed slower adaptation speeds than multi-trial modeling. …”
