A Visco-Elasto-Plastic Constitutive Law for Deformation Prediction of High Concrete Face Rockfill Dams by Francesco Raggi, Luis Altarejos-García

“…Deformation predictions in high Concrete Face Rockfill Dams tend to underestimate observed settlements due to scale effect and breakage phenomena that cannot be adequately captured by laboratory tests. This paper presents a Visco-Elasto-Perfectly Plastic (VEPP) model for predicting deformations in high Concrete Face Rockfill Dams (CFRDs) that addresses these challenges incorporating explicitly key rockfill parameters like grain size and post-compaction porosity, which influence both the non-linear elastic and plastic behaviors of rockfill. …”

Identification of hypothermia-inducing neurons in the preoptic area and activation of them by isoflurane anesthesia and central injection of adenosine by Erika Uchino, Ikue Kusumoto-Yoshida, Hideki Kashiwadani, Yuichi Kanmura, Akira Matsunaga, Tomoyuki Kuwaki

“…We hypothesized that the other hypothermia-inducing maneuvers would also activate these neurons. To test our hypothesis, we first refined the previous observations, examined the brain regions explicitly activated during the falling phase of body temperature using c-Fos expression, and confirmed the preoptic area. …”

Detection of Shape Manufacturing Defects of Flat Fan-Pattern Nozzle Orifices Using Elliptic Fourier Descriptors by Bahadır Sayıncı

“…The EFDs determined for each orifice size could individually detect the nozzle orifices with shape defect originating from the manufacture and they could be explicitly distinguished from the scatter plots. The results of the Hotelling’s pairwise comparison test showed that the nozzle orifices in shape were significantly different from each other. …”

Improving the prediction of bitumen’s density and thermal expansion by optimizing artificial neural networks with Optuna and TensorFlow by Eli I. Assaf, Xueyan Liu, Sandra Erkens

“…Using Optuna for hyperparameter optimization, we ensure that the information extracted from MD simulations is utilized effectively.The resulting ANN models accurately reproduce MD-predicted densities, achieving R2>0.99, MSEs below 0.1 %, and maximum absolute errors below 5 % on test data. In addition to reducing computational cost, the models exhibit improved interpolation and extrapolation capabilities, enabling reliable predictions for properties, ranges, and compositions not explicitly simulated.Key aspects of our approach include: • Transitioning from RFRs to ANNs, improving generalization, interpolation, and predictive accuracy. • Automated hyperparameter optimization, leveraging Optuna to maximize model efficiency. • Expanding applicability, enabling property prediction for unseen compositions without additional MD simulations.…”
