Physics‐Informed Neural Networks Trained With Time‐Lapse Geo‐Electrical Tomograms to Estimate Water Saturation, Permeability and Petrophysical Relations at Heterogeneous Soils... by C. Sakar, N. Schwartz, Z. Moreno

“…However, obtaining geoelectrical tomograms from raw measurements requires the inversion of an ill‐posed problem, which causes smoothing of the actual structure. Furthermore, the spatial resolution is determined from the distances in the electrode placement, thus inherently upscaling the obtained structure. …”

Towards age-hardening ability enhancement and high strength in Mg–Gd–Ag alloy by balancing grain refinement and weakening of dynamic precipitation by Zhenquan Yang, Aibin Ma, Bingqian Xu, Guowei Wang, Jinghua Jiang, Jiapeng Sun

“…During post-rolling aging, besides the common β’ and γ” precipitates and the β nano-particles whose Gd/Ag ratio is much lower than that of dynamically precipitated β particles, the β”/βT precipitates, CGB segregation, and stacking fault (SF)-associated segregation/γ’ precipitates within LBs, are also involved with the precipitation structure. Benefiting from this complex precipitation structure, a good age-hardening ability manifested by the aging-induced tensile yield strength (TYS) increment reaching 115 MPa is attained. …”
