MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR MOTOR GEAR FAULT DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS by HIJAWI,ULA MUTASIM

“…This typically involves large-scale datasets, which in turn raises the computational issues considerably. One-Dimensional (1D) CNNs, on the other hand, have recently been proposed in many 1D signal processing applications, including gear condition monitoring. …”

Application of Fe3O4 magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO2) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions by Elmobarak W.F.

“…Using an MDdose as low as 10 mg/L attained a %ηdem in the range of 93%–94.3% for O/W mixtures with Coil < 2000 mg/L, which slightly decreased to ∼90% for higher concentrations. The reported %Roil (p-value <0.05) was >90 ± 0.1 for tests carried out with pH ≤ 7 and Csur ≤ 0.1 g/L and declined at higher pH and Csur to % 86.5 due to the increase in emulsion stability. …”

Estimation of Mechanical Properties of Copper Powder Filled Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Composites by Singh, S.

“…The input parameters manipulated for the prediction were elongation at break (δ), stress at break (ρ), Young’s modulus (Y), volume fraction of the filler (ϕ) and constants (KE1,KE2,KS1,KS2,KS3,KS4,KY1). Copper powder filled LLDPE has a complex structure which makes it difficult to accurately predict the mechanical properties. …”

Novel electroless deposited corrosion — resistant and anti-bacterial NiP–TiNi nanocomposite coatings by Fayyad E.M.

“…The addition of TiNi nanoparticles into the NiP matrix leads to the transformation of the amorphous structure of the as-plated NiP into a semi-crystalline one. The microhardness of the composite coating significantly enhances with increasing the TiNi concentration up to 0.4 g L−1 and further improvement takes place after the heat treatment. …”
