According to news reporting from Livermore, California, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "A combined large-scale first principle s approach with machine learning and materials informatics is proposed to quickl y sweep the chemistry-composition space of advanced high strength steels (AHSS). AHSS are composed of iron and key alloying elements such as aluminum and mangan ese." Funders for this research include High Performance Computing for Manufacturing P rogram (HPC4Mfg), United States Department of Energy (DOE), United States Depart ment of Energy (DOE). The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Lawrence Livermo re National Laboratory, "A systematic exploration of the distribution of aluminu m and manganese atoms in iron is used to investigate low stacking fault energies configurations using first principles calculations. To overcome the computation al cost of exploring the composition space, this process is sped up using an aut omated machine learning tool: DeepHyper. Our results predict that it is energeti cally favorable for Al to stay away from a stacking fault, but Mn atoms do not a ffect the stacking fault energy and can stay in the vicinity of the fault." According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "The distribution of Al and Mn atoms in systems containing stacking faults and the effects of their int eractions on the equilibrium distribution are systematically analyzed."

    University of Michigan Reports Findings in Machine Learning (High-Performance Ir idium-Molybdenum Oxide Electrocatalysts for Water Oxidation in Acid: Bayesian Op timization Discovery and Experimental Testing)

According to news reporting from Ann Arbor, Michigan, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Ir oxides are costly and scarce catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid. There has been extensive interest i n developing alternatives that are either Ir-free or require smaller amounts of Ir to drive the reactions at acceptable rates." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the University o f Michigan, "One design strategy is to identify Ir-based mixed oxides that achie ve similar performance while requiring smaller amounts of Ir. The obstacle to th is strategy has been a very large phase space of the Ir-based mixed metal oxides , in terms of the metals combined with Ir and the different crystallographic str uctures of the mixed oxides, which prevents a thorough exploration of possible m aterials. In this work, we developed a workflow that uses machine-learning-aided Bayesian optimization in combination with density functional theory to make the exploration of this phase space plausible. This screening identified Mo as a pr omising dopant for forming acid-tolerant Ir-based oxides for the OER. We synthes ized and characterized the Ir-Mo mixed oxides in the form of thin-film electroca talysts with a known surface area. We show that these mixed oxides exhibited ove rpotentials 30 mV lower than a pure Ir control while maintaining 24% lower Ir dissolution rates than the Ir control."

    Studies from University of Vigo Have Provided New Data on Machine Learning (Appl ication of Supervised Learning Algorithms for Temperature Prediction In Nucleate Flow Boiling)

According to news reporting out of Vigo, Spain, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "This work investigates the use of supervised learning algorith ms to predict temperatures in an experimental test bench, which was initially de signed for studying nucleate boiling phenomena with ethylene glycol/water mixtur es. The proposed predictive model consists of three stages of machine learning." Financial support for this research came from Universidade de Vigo/CISUG. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of V igo, "In the first one, a supervised algorithm block is employed to determine wh ether the critical heat flux (CHF) will be reached within the test bench limits. This classification relies on input parameters including bulk temperature, tilt angle, pressure, and inlet velocity. Once the CHF condition is established, ano ther machine learning algorithm predicts the specific heat flux at which CHF wil l occur. Subsequently, based on the classification generated by the first block, the evolution of temperature in response to increases in heat flux is predicted using either the previously estimated heat flux or the physical limits of the e xperimental facility as the stopping criterion. To accomplish all these predicti ons, the study compares the performance of various algorithms including artifici al neural networks, random forest, support vector machine, AdaBoost, and XGBoost . These algorithms were specifically trained using cross-validation and grid sea rch methods to optimize their effectiveness. Results for the CHF classification purpose demonstrate that the support vector machine algorithm performs the best, achieving an F1-score of 0.872 on the testing dataset, while the boosting metho ds (AdaBoost and XGBoost) exhibit signs of overfitting. In predicting the CHF va lue, the artificial neural network achieved the lower nMAE on the testing datase t (6.18%)."

    Reports Outline Machine Learning Findings from Tianjin University (Multifunction al Analysis of Construction Contracts Using a Machine Learning Approach)

According to news reporting out of Tianjin, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "In the intricate domain of construc tion contracts, precise descriptions and measurements of contract structures are crucial. This study provides an objective analysis of the structure of construc tion contracts from a multifunctional perspective." Financial support for this research came from National Natural Science Foundatio n of China (NSFC). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Tianjin University, "A deep learningbased machine coding model was trained using 17 standard contr acts and 35 actual contracts. The model was then used to code an additional 117 actual contracts. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare the distribution of the three functions (i.e., control, coordination, and adaptation) between st andard and actual contracts. The results revealed that coordination has the high est contribution among the three functions. Moreover, actual contracts exhibit i ncreased complexity compared with standard contracts, often containing additiona l control and coordination provisions related to project-specific obligations an d tasks. The 117 actual contracts were further classified based on project deliv ery systems (PDSs) and pricing methods, and the impact of PDSs and pricing metho ds on the functional distribution was examined. The results showed more flexible adaptation and more complex control provisions specified in design-build/engine ering, procurement, and construction (DB/EPC) and lump sum contracts. Theoretica lly, this study provides insights into objective measures in contract research a nd enriches the body of knowledge on the structure of construction contracts fro m a multifunctional perspective."

    Studies from Zhengzhou University Add New Findings in the Area of Robotics (Comp lex Dynamics of the Passive Biped Robot With Flat Feet: Gait Bifurcation, Interm ittency and Crisis)

    99-99页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Current study results on Robotics have been published. According to news reporting originating in Zhengzhou, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "During the past deca des, the walking dynamics of different types of passive biped robots have garner ed significant attention. This paper investigates the complex dynamics of a pass ive flat-footed robot, encompassing both the local bifurcation of limit cycles a nd global bifurcation, resulting in significant changes in the system's walking pattern." The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Zhengzhou University, "To identify the robot's dynamic behavior, the Lyapunov Exponents (LEs) are cal culated using the small orthogonal perturbation vectors method. The obtained LEs diagram also unveils several subtle periodic windows scattered within the chaot ic region, where interior crisis and intermittency occur. Moreover, two new kind s of gaits that coexist with the traditional period-1 ones are found. Of particu lar significance is the discovery of the double boundary crisis that caused by t he critical period-3 unstable periodic orbit, and this crisis serves as the fund amental reason to the falling down on slopes of the flat-footed robots."

According to news reporting from Kanagawa, Japan, by Ne wsRx journalists, research stated, "This study proposes a simultaneous localizat ion method of a group of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) based on one-way signals to realize distributed oceanographic surveys." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Meiji University: "Each AUV group consists of a single high-performance AUV (parent AUV) and the other AUVs (child AUVs). The child AUVs estimate their states (position and heading) b ased on the parent AUV as a positioning reference. By assuming a situation in wh ich many AUV groups are deployed, the child AUVs can receive positioning signals from multiple parent AUVs. Although only the direction information of the paren t AUV can be obtained from a signal from one parent AUV, the child AUVs can esti mate their states by receiving signals from different parent AUVs."
