Construction of Analogy Indicator System and Machine-Learning-Based Optimization of Analogy Methods for Oilfield Development Projects by Muzhen Zhang, Zhanxiang Lei, Chengyun Yan, Baoquan Zeng, Fei Huang, Tailai Qu, Bin Wang, Li Fu

“…To meet the need for quick evaluation of overseas oilfield projects with limited data and experience, this study develops an analogy indicator system and tests multiple machine-learning algorithms on two analogy tasks to identify the optimal method. Using an initial set of basic indicators and a database of 1436 oilfield samples, a combined subjective–objective weighting strategy that integrates statistical methods with expert judgment is used to select, classify, and assign weights to the indicators. …”

Optimization of MWCNT concentration in nylon-based nanocomposites for enhanced triboelectric nanogenerator performance by Orkhan Gulahmadov, Lala Gahramanli, Mustafa Muradov, Jadranka Blazhevska Gilev, Stefano Bellucci, Cristian Vacacela Gomez

“…However, a decline in output was observed at 0.1 wt% due to MWCNT agglomeration, which disrupts charge transfer and introduces charge leakage. The enhancement at optimal concentration is attributed to improved charge trapping and increased dielectric constant, while excessive CNT loading reduces the effective contact area and limits triboelectric charge generation. …”
