Analytical Modeling of a Heat Source under Welding of a Steel Sleeve by the Centrifugal Method Using an Axisymmetric Electric Arc by S. P. Glushko

“…Therefore, in order to exclude most of the experimental components when modeling the heat source and heat flow distribution of the facing process (bimetallization) of the inner surface of steel sleeves under heating by an independent axisymmetric electric arc, the author in this paper proposes an analytical solution for calculating the effective heat flow density in the form of an exponential function. …”

Neural models in diagnostics of the financial result of housing and utility enterprises by I. P. Kurochkina, I. I. Kalinin, L. A. Mamatova, E. B. Shuvalova

“…The  neural network  modeling methodology allows you to create models that have  several advantages:  learning ability  (they  adapt  to various  changes);  universality  (able  to solve a wide  range of data analysis and processing tasks);  speed (process various  data  in  parallel  mode);  ease  of use (easy  to operate  after training);  fault  tolerance  (resistant  to local  damage  to the  neural network  structure and external  noise).One of the main  tasks that neural networks  successfully solve is the problem of classification  – the assignment  of the sample  to one or several predefined classes. Most often, the input sample is determined by  the  input  data  vector.  …”

Energy-efficient W-doped VO2-based smart glasses by glancing angle co-deposition and subsequent rapid thermal annealing by A.J. Santos, A. Casas-Acuña, N. Martin, J.J. Jiménez, A. Krystianiak, O. Heintz, R. García, F.M. Morales

“…In general, a gradual lowering of the critical temperature to 37 °C during heating was achieved for a maximum intended doping of x = 0.95, albeit at the expense of some detriments in optical performances. The best and most balanced results were accomplished in a 50 nm nominal thickness layer deposited with overall x = 0.97 (i.e. ∼1 at% W) subjected to flash annealing at 550 °C, presenting a remarkable balance of light transmittance (52.0 %), solar modulation capability (5.2 %) and critical temperature drop (44 °C), which leads to a temperature drop rate of about 20 °C per at% W attempted, taking as reference its undoped counterpart fabricated under the same conditions. …”
