TL;DR: This study develops a classifier approach denoted as BSMAIRS that combines borderline synthetic minority oversampling technique and artificial immune recognition system as global optimization searcher with the nearest neighbor algorithm used as a local classifier to handle imbalanced class problems.

TL;DR: Based on the parameters used in this study, it can be deduced that banh men is similar to ragi and other Asian fermentation starters.
Abstract: In this study Banh mensamples obtained from Vietnam were analysed in terms of pH, moisture content and fungal composition. The banh men pH proved to be acidic with a mean pH of 5.76. Moisture content was 13.6%. Total mould and yeast counts yielded 1.3 × 106 and 4.3 × 106 c.f.u./g-fresh sample, respectively. A total of 53 fungal isolates were obtained from 20 moulds and 33 yeasts. The mould isolates were identified as Rhizopus oryzae, Mucor indicus, Mucor circinilloides, and Amylomyces rouxii. The yeast isolates were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hyphopichia burtonii, Saccharomycopsis fibuligera, Pichia anomala, and Candida sp. Based on the parameters used in this study, it can be deduced that banh men is similar to ragi and other Asian fermentation starters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Latin hypercube design of experiments (DOE) approach is proposed for global sensitivity analysis in LCA, where the LCA input parameters are used as the factors for the experimental design.
Abstract: Biodiesel has been widely proposed as an alternative to fossil fuels and its environmental impacts have been commonly assessed using life cycle assessment (LCA). However, the results of LCA can be affected by parameter uncertainties. The rigorous treatment of such uncertainties is thus essential to improve decision-making based on the LCA. In this work, the Latin hypercube design of experiments (DOE) approach is proposed for global sensitivity analysis in LCA. In this novel approach, the LCA input parameters are used as the factors for the experimental design. The LCA of biodiesel from different feedstocks, namely, jatropha, waste cooking oil (WCO), and fish oil (FO), under the current conditions in Vietnam was chosen as a test case. The LCA focuses on the global warming potential (GWP), photochemical ozone formation potential (POFP), acidification potential (AP), and eutrophication potential (EP) of the biodiesel system. These impact categories were then combined into an overall environmental impact (OEI) score using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The effect of changes in the LCA model parameters on the OEI was then observed through computational experiments using a Latin hypercube design. From the computational experiments, the input parameters significantly affecting the results of LCA were identified, and a proxy polynomial regression model was derived to enable global sensitivity analysis to be performed. The results show that agricultural yield, oil content of jatropha seed, transesterification yield, total transportation, and biodiesel blending fraction are the factors that have significant effects on the OEI of jatropha biodiesel; biodiesel blend fraction and total transportation are significant in the case of WCO diesel, while the only significant effect factor in FO biodiesel case is biodiesel blend fraction. Biodiesel blend fraction is the most significant parameter for all feedstocks.

TL;DR: In this article, a robust optimization model for energy planning with inoperability constraints is proposed, which is based on the established source-sink framework, and the basic formulation results in a linear program (LP) while a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) extension is also described.

TL;DR: Dino et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated how hydrogen behaves at the edges of a graphite sheet, in particular the armchair edge, and found that it would be extremely hard to desorb the H from their adsorption sites at the arm chair edges.
