Criterion for Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Behavior at the Interface of a Coal Measure Composite Reservoir by Yifeng Guo, Runxu Zhang, Xinghua Zhang, Kangkang Han, Fazhi Yan, Cunbao Deng, Zhixin Jin

“…Regarding the three expansion modes of hydraulic fractures at the interface of a coal measure composite reservoir (arrested, deflection, and penetration), based on the coupling theory of fluid flow and solid elastic deformation, a criterion that considers the influences of the injection parameters (fracturing fluid injection rate and viscosity) is established to predict the propagation path of hydraulic fractures at the interface of a composite reservoir. …”

A MACHINE LEARNING DISTRACTED DRIVING PREDICTION MODEL by Samira AHANGARI, Mansoureh JEIHANI, Abdollah DEHZANGI

“…In this study, we use a Bayesian Network classifier as a robust machine learning algorithm on our trained data (80%) and tested (20%) with the data collected from a driving simulator, in which the 92 participants drove six scenarios of handheld calling, hands-free calling, texting, voice command, clothing, and eating/drinking on four different road classes (rural collector, freeway, urban arterial, and local road in a school zone). Various driving performances such as speed, acceleration, throttle, lane changing, brake, collision, and offset from the lane center were investigated. …”
