Integrating geostatistical methods and deep learning for enhanced 87Sr/86Sr isoscape Estimation: A case study in South Korea by Hyeongmok Lee, Go-Eun Kim, Woo-Jin Shin, Yuyoung Lee, Sanghee Park, Kwang-Sik Lee, Jina Jeong, Seung-Ik Park, Sungwook Choung

“…To address this, we propose a hybrid framework for 87Sr/86Sr isoscape mapping that integrates a kriging-based data augmentation method with a deep learning (DL) classifier. The kriging component generates synthetic training samples by interpolating sparse isotopic data while preserving underlying spatial correlations and geological anisotropy. …”

Reduction of the residual warpage of fused deposition modeling by negative thermal expansion filler by Masaya Sakagami, Saito Ishiue, Maiki Kawaguchi, Akihiro Takezawa

“…To focus on the effect of thermal expansion on residual warpage, we used acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, which is an amorphous polymer with a small volume change around the liquid–solid phase transition, as the matrix. Composite pellets were prepared using a kneader, and filaments were produced for fused deposition modeling (FDM) using an extruder. …”

Application of Partial Least Squares-Discriminate Analysis Model Based on Water Chemical Compositions in Identifying Water Inrush Sources from Multiple Aquifers in Mines by Yaoshan Bi, Jiwen Wu, Xiaorong Zhai, Shuhao Shen, Libin Tang, Kai Huang, Dawei Zhang

“…The research shows the following results: (1) Both PCA and PLS-DA methods can distinguish water samples from three different water sources, but the classification effect of PLS-DA was better than PCA because it can strengthen the difference of water chemical composition between different water sources. (2) The correct discrimination rate of the PLS-DA discriminant model was as high as 100%, and permutation tests showed that the model was not overfit. …”
