Thermite combustion: Current trends in modeling and future perspectives by Alain Esteve, Carole Rossi

“…The reason is the insufficient knowledge and quantification of reaction and combustion mechanisms and the key variables governing them. That is why, over the past decades, several approaches and models ranging from atomic-scale modeling to macroscopic simulations using computational fluid dynamics, were developed and are reviewed in this article. …”

Thermal Conductivity Model Analysis of Unsaturated Ice-Containing Soil by Qiang Han, Zhiguo Wang, Rui Qin

“…In this paper, the representative elementary volume (REV) selection method is given for unsaturated ice-containing soil with porosity as a representative state variable. Under the condition of freeze-thaw, two thermal conductivity REV analysis models for unsaturated ice-containing soil are established: a simplified volume-weighted average REV model and a fine volume-weighted average REV model; accordingly, a macroscopic thermal conductivity analysis model is given. …”

Petrogenesis of dark enclaves and magmatic processes in the early Paleozoic Fushui mafic complex from the Qinling Orogenic Belt, central China by Bokang Zhu, Xiaoying Liao, Yongsheng Gai, Liang Liu, Ge Wang, Sang Wan Pak, Wenqiang Yang

“…Compared to the host rocks, the hornblendites exhibit more depleted Sr-Nd isotope compositions. Trace element modeling indicates that both the enclaves and host rocks were originated from a metasomatized mantle, influenced by subducted oceanic and continental crust-derived melts. …”

DECISION TREE OR LOGISTIC REGRESSION - WHICH BASIC MODEL IS BETTER? by Kitti Fodor

“…In this paper, my aim is to show which of the data in the Central Credit Information System are the ones that influence the factors that are then used to perform the analysis using a decision tree and logistic regression, and I would like to know, which of the two basic model is the better one. For the analyses, I used a random sample of 500 items, reflecting the proportions of performing and nonperforming loans in the population. …”

Sex-specific and age-specific characteristics of body composition and its effect on bone mineral density in adults in southern China: a cross-sectional study by Hao Xu, Jian Gong, Zeyu Xiao, Zhiqiang Tan, Jingjie Shang, Yong Cheng, Yongjin Tang, Bin Guo

“…In multivariable linear regression models with age, body mass index, A/G FMR and ALM as predictor variables, ALM was associated with the most BMD variance of all skeletal sites in men (standard β ranged from 0.207 to 0.405, p<0.001), although not the largest but still a positive predictor of BMD in women (standard β ranged from 0.074 to 0.186, p<0.05). …”
