A non-dominated sorting based multi-objective neural network algorithm of ethylene glycol hydrogenation reactor in energy reduction by Fakhrony Sholahudin Rohman, Sharifah Rafidah Wan Alwi, Dinie Muhammad, Muhamad Nazri Murat, Ashraf Azmi

“…The intermediate points in the Pareto Front PF for various three-objective situations provide lower energy costs than the bi-objective function. While bi-objective optimization might seem more straightforward, the intermediate points on the Pareto Front in three-objective optimization can provide lower energy costs due to more effective balancing of trade-offs, richer exploration of the solution space, capturing complex interdependencies, and offering more robust and flexible solutions. …”

Overexpression of the microtubule-binding protein CLIP-170 induces a +TIP network superstructure consistent with a biomolecular condensate. by Yueh-Fu O Wu, Annamarie T Bryant, Nora T Nelson, Alexander G Madey, Gail F Fernandes, Holly V Goodson

“…Moreover, bioinformatic studies demonstrate that the presence of intrinsically disordered regions is conserved in key +TIPs, implying that these regions are functionally significant. Together, these results indicate that the CLIP-170 induced patches in cells are phase-separated liquid condensates and raise the possibility that the endogenous +TIP network might form a liquid droplet at MT ends or other +TIP locations.…”

Bureaucratic Rationalism and The Quiet (R)evolution by William Twining

“…We can of course pump students full of facts or even brainwash them — but pumping facts is a waste of everybody’s time and washing brains in public is, as Justice Holmes might have told us, dirty business. Learning is what students are there for and all we know about learning is that, on any level of complexity, it is every man for himself and by himself, imposing a perhaps delusive formal pattern on the swirling chaos by a prodigious effort of the individual will. …”
