Compressive behavior of additively manufactured lightweight structures: Infill density optimization based on energy absorption diagrams by Cristina Vălean, Liviu Marșavina, Emanoil Linul

“…The use of 3D-printed components as load-bearing structures is widely studied, while their use as energy absorbers constitutes a gap in the additive manufacturing (AM) field. Most of the reported works address the compressive behavior of AM parts up to low strains (<15%), thus omitting many important properties. …”

Iterative Assessment of Edge Criticality: Efficiency Enhancement or Hidden Insufficiency Detection by Vasily Lubashevskiy, Hamza Ejjbiri, Ihor Lubashevsky

“…In the present work, we propose the Iterative approach, which bridges the gap between these two methods. The Iterative approach involves a loop of identifying the most critical edge using selected ranking algorithms, removing it from the network, and then re-assessing edge criticality based on the modified network topology. …”

An embedded KPI-based advisory framework for monitoring and diagnosis of soft sensor degradation by Muhammad Shahid, Haslinda Zabiri, Syed Ali Ammar Taqvi

“…The performance of soft sensors deteriorates due to changing operating conditions, sensor drift, or unexpected process disturbances. For their simplicity and interpretability, Partial Least Squares (PLS)-based soft sensors are often used in industries, but most research focuses on maintenance strategies without clear guidance on how to respond to faults. …”

Cryo multi-scale microscopy visualization tools for studying microbial communities on glacier surfaces by Rey Mourot, Rey Mourot, Rey Mourot, Vladimir Roddatis, Alexandre M. Anesio, Martyn Tranter, Liane G. Benning, Liane G. Benning

“…These studies have unveiled that pigmented glacier ice algae, namely, Ancylonema nordenskiöldii and Ancylonema alaskanum, blooming during the summer melt seasons accelerate surface melting. Most techniques that quantify microbial processes on glacial surfaces require the melting of samples prior to their analysis and, so far, the structure and three-dimensional arrangement of microorganisms that bloom on bare ice surfaces have never been characterized. …”

Sequence analysis of local indicators of spatio-temporal association for evolutionary pattern discovery by Jianing Yu, Hengcai Zhang, Peixiao Wang, Jinzi Wang, Feng Lu

“…However, the dynamic trends of spatial-temporal (S-T) autocorrelation remain poorly understood, yet capturing these patterns is essential for analyzing the evolution of spatial processes. To fill the gap, we propose a novel S-T LISA methodology to automatically discover co-occurrences LISA subsequences over time by incorporating sequence analysis techniques. …”
