A Machine Learning Model for Octane Number Prediction by Spencer, Victor

“…The choice of neural network architecture was made because the data frame was small, with only 12 input variables and 350 observations. Prior to training the models, an Explanatory Data Analysis was carried out to assess the potential dimensionality reduction, correlations and outliers. …”

Pulsatile Electropolishing of Nitinol Stents by Cloete, Jeran Andre

“…Di_erential pulse voltammogram yielded a feedback parameter on surface composition, and various pulse parameters were adjusted to optimize for surface smoothness, and identify the primary control variable. An electropolishing method is presented which achieves a :50% reduction in the Sa surface roughness value to an area average of 45 nm on a laser cut tubular stent geometry. …”

Linking microbial community dynamics and performance of a biological sulphate reducing system using a mixed volatile fatty acid stream as electron donor by Motleleng, Liabo

“…One of the challenges associated with BSR is the supply of a cost-effective carbon source which also acts as an electron donor for the anaerobic reduction of sulphate. Studies have reported that both the choice of carbon source and electron donor and the microbial communities present influence the sulphate reduction process, the former frequently defining technoeconomic feasibility. …”

Reconstructing the diets of southern African farmers: comparing stable isotopes across body tissues by Zhu, Madeline R M W

“…Multi- and bi-variate models are unable to distinguish between C4 plants and animals in some cases, and recreation of cluster analysis including the Iron Age data results in a reduction in the parsimony of the dietary clusters derived in Froehle et al. 2012. …”
