Comparison of river and drinking water quality of infiltration intakes based on statistical colour data by Yalaletdinova Alina, Malkova Maria, Vozhdaeva Margarita, Serebryakov Pavel, Kantor Evgeny

“…A significant contribution (79 to 89%) to the variation of the indicator in drinking water is made by random variable. Correlation coefficients calculated from monthly averages revealed a weak relationship (on the Cheddock scale) between river and drinking water colour, whereas correlation coefficients calculated from monthly averages of colour in the model year characterise the relationship at IWI1 as high and very high at IWI2. …”

Correlation between Electrochemical Relaxations and Morphologies of Conducting Polymer Dendrites by Antoine Baron, Enrique H. Balaguera, Sébastien Pecqueur

“…Correlations are established between dispersive capacitances of dendritic morphologies and growth duration, independently from exogenous physical variables: distance, evaporation or aging. Deviation of the anomalous capacitance from the conventional Debye dielectric relaxation can be programmed, as the growth controls the dispersion coefficient of the dendrite's constant-phase elements relaxation. …”

An assessment of the likely impact of strain-related phenotypic plasticity on hominin fossil species identification by M. Collard, S.J. Lycett

“…We divided the measurements into three groups: measurements of features subject to high masticatory strain, measurements of features subject to low-to-moderate masticatory strain, and measurements of features that do not remodel and therefore are not prone to strain-related phenotypic plasticity. Next, we used the coefficient of variation and ANOVA to investigate whether masticatory strain is a cause of variability. …”

Predicting Kinematic Viscosity and Cetane Number of Diesel- Biodiesel Blend Using Neural Network and Empirical Models by M. yari, Gh. Moradi, M. Abdolmaleki, Sh. Bashiri

“…This study tries to estimate two substantial properties of blend, i.e. kinemattic viscosity (KV) and cetane number (CN), through neural network (NN) and empirical models which use pure properties of biodiesel (kinematic viscosity, boiling point, evaporation point, flash point, pour point, heat of combustion, cloud point, and specific gravity) as independent variables. In this regard, a three-layer feed-forward network with varying input parameters, training algorithms, transfer functions, and hidden neurons has been examined to predict the KV and CN of the diesel-biodiesel blend. …”
