Application of machine learning techniques to predict the compressive strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete by Ala’a R. Al-Shamasneh, Arsalan Mahmoodzadeh, Faten Khalid Karim, Taoufik Saidani, Abdulaziz Alghamdi, Jasim Alnahas, Mohammed Sulaiman

“…Abstract The accurate prediction of compressive strength (CS) in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) remains a critical challenge due to the material’s inherent complexity and the nonlinear interactions among its constituents. This study presents a robust machine learning framework to predict the CS of SFRC using a large-scale experimental dataset comprising 600 data points, encompassing key parameters such as fiber characteristics (type, content, length, diameter), water-to-cement (w/c) ratio, aggregate size, curing time, silica fume, and superplasticizer. …”

Fiber optical WDM multiplexers/demultiplexers with low bending losses by D. A. Ivanov

“…Among the advantages of WDM, it is worth to note the transmission of a large amount of information over one OF by the arrangement of channels at different wavelengths and the ability to transmit signals of several wavelengths simultaneously in both directions via one OF that do not interact with each other (duplex communication). During operation, WDM multiplexers can be subjected to various external influences that affect the operation and stability of the device parameters. …”

SSR42 is a novel regulator of cytolytic activity in Staphylococcus aureus by Mary-Elizabeth Jobson, Brooke R. Tomlinson, Emilee M. Mustor, Emily A. Felton, Andy Weiss, Clayton C. Caswell, Lindsey N. Shaw

“…We find that SSR42 is induced by components of the host immune system and facilitates downstream activation of cytotoxic factors via RNA-RNA interactions. This illustrates that SSR42 forms a pivotal link between sensing the external environment and mediating resistance to oxidative stress while promoting virulence, solidifying it as a major global regulator in S. aureus.…”

Reflexive Methods of Knowledge in Educational Activities: Phenomenological Hermeneutics by T. N. Korneenko

“…However, the results of training are still defined by the level of development of easily measured operational skills and cognitive qualities (memory, attention, logic), in which the reflection is presented only partially. Reflexive abilities as the mechanism and instrument of knowledge, which assist a personality to understand himself or herself, to comprehend own feelings, actions, acts and complex external realities, in most cases remain unaccounted in educational process and when analysing and evaluating the results.The aim of the article was to justify the need to form reflexive skills of knowledge in students through a combination of phenomenological and hermeneutical methods in daily pedagogical practice.Methodology and research methods. …”

Macroscopic Structural Transition of Nickel Dithiolate Capsule with Uniaxial Magnetic Anisotropy in Water by Tomoko Fujino, Mafumi Hishida, Masatoshi Ito, Toshikazu Nakamura, Mizue Asada, Naoya Kurahashi, Hisao Kiuchi, Yoshihisa Harada, Koji Harano, Rie Makiura, Kanokwan Jumtee Takeno, So Yokomori, Hiroshi Oike, Hatsumi Mori

“…These materials should be capable of reordering their macroscopic assemblies in response to external stimuli. Unlike conventional rigid, “hard” crystalline organic paramagnets, that are typically composed of open‐shell π‐ or d/π‐conjugated planar molecules and rely on intermolecular interactions in the ordered, assembled structures, soft paramagnets necessitate a delicate balance between long‐range structural order (essential for controlling magnetic properties) and dynamic flexibility a challenge previously unmet for open‐shell planar molecules. …”
