APPLICABILITY OF SIMILARITY CONDITIONS TO ANALOGUE MODELLING OF TECTONIC STRUCTURES by Mikhail A. Goncharov

“…In any case, a researcher should have a clear vision of conditions applicable to each particular experiment.(2) Application of similarity conditions is often challenging due to unavoidable difficulties caused by the following: a) Imperfection of experimental equipment and technologies (Fig. 1 to 3); b) uncertainties in estimating parameters of formation of natural structures, including main ones: structure size (Fig. 4), time of formation (Fig. 5), deformation properties of the medium wherein such structures are formed, including, first of all, viscosity (Fig. 6), ultimate strength, and tectonic stresses which caused formation of such structures (Fig. 7).(3) A way to overcome the above mentioned difficulties can be found through awareness of the fact that physical similarity conditions are often met per se, i.e. automatically observed due to linear relationships between similarity coefficients (Fig. 8). …”

Development of Quantitative Structure–Anti-Inflammatory Relationships of Alkaloids by Cristian Rojas, Doménica Muñoz, Ivanna Cordero, Belén Tenesaca, Davide Ballabio

“…Molecules were properly curated, and the molecular geometries of the compounds were optimized using the semi-empirical method (PM3) to calculate molecular descriptors, binary fingerprints (extended-connectivity fingerprints and path fingerprints) and MACCS (Molecular ACCess System) structural keys. Then, we calibrated the QSAR models using well-known linear and non-linear machine learning classifiers, i.e., partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA), random forests (RF), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), <i>k</i>-nearest neighbors (<i>k</i>NN), <i>N</i>-nearest neighbors (N3) and binned nearest neighbors (BNN). …”
