Abstract China began to build its national shale gas demonstration area in 2012. The central exploration, drilling, and
development technologies for medium and shallow marine shale reservoirs with less than 3,500 m of buried depth
in Changning-Weiyuan, Zhaotong, and other regions had matured. In this study, we macroscopically investigated
the development history of shale gas in the United States and China and compared the physical and mechanical
conditions of deep and shallow reservoirs. The comparative results revealed that the main reasons for the order-ofmagnitude difference between China’s annual shale gas output and the United States could be attributed to three
aspects:… More >

Abstract A model to predict photosynthetic carbon assimilation rate (A) with high accuracy is important for forecasting
crop yield and productivity. Long short-term memory (LSTM), a neural network suitable for time-series data,
enables prediction with high accuracy but requires mesophyll variables. In addition, for practical use, it is desirable
to have a technique that can predict A from easily available information. In this study, we propose a BLSTMaugmented LSTM (BALSTM) model, which utilizes bi-directional LSTM (BLSTM) to indirectly reproduce the
mesophyll variables required for LSTM. The most significant feature of the proposed model is that its hybrid
architecture uses only three… More >

Abstract Web applications represent one of the principal vehicles by which attackers gain access to an organization’s network
or resources. Thus, different approaches to protect web applications have been proposed to date. Of them, the two
major approaches areWeb Application Firewalls (WAF) and Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP). It is, thus,
essential to understand the differences and relative effectiveness of both these approaches for effective decisionmaking regarding the security of web applications. Here we present a comparative study between WAF and RASP
simulated settings, with the aim to compare their effectiveness and efficiency against different categories of attacks.
For this, we… More >

Abstract Ore conveyor belt rollers operate in harsh environments, making them prone to premature failure. Their service lives are highly dependent on the stress field and bearing misalignment angle, for which limit values are defined in a standard. In this work, an optimization methodology using metamodels based on radial basis functions is implemented to reduce the mass of two models of rollers. From a structural point of view, one of the rollers is made completely of metal, while the other also has some components made of polymeric material. The objective of this study is to develop and apply a parametric structural… More >

Abstract The invariant metrics of the effects of park size and distance to public transportation on housing value volatilities in Boston, Milwaukee, Taipei and Tokyo are investigated. They reveal a Cobb-Douglas-like behavior. The scale-invariant exponents corresponding to the percentage of a green area (a) are 7.4, 8.41, 14.1 and 15.5 for Boston, Milwaukee, Taipei and Tokyo, respectively, while the corresponding direct distances to the nearest metro station (d) are −5, −5.88, −10 and −10, for Boston, Milwaukee, Taipei and Tokyo, respectively. The multiphysics-based analysis provides a powerful approach for the symmetry characterization of market engineering. The scaling exponent ratio between park… More >

Abstract The importance of prerequisites for education has recently become a promising research direction. This work proposes a statistical model for measuring dependencies in learning resources between knowledge units. Instructors are
expected to present knowledge units in a semantically well-organized manner to facilitate students’ understanding
of the material. The proposed model reveals how inner concepts of a knowledge unit are dependent on each other
and on concepts not in the knowledge unit. To help understand the complexity of the inner concepts themselves,
WordNet is included as an external knowledge base in this model. The goal is to develop a model that… More >

Abstract In this paper, the fractional natural decomposition method (FNDM) is employed to find the solution for the KunduEckhaus equation and coupled fractional differential equations describing the massive Thirring model. The massive
Thirring model consists of a system of two nonlinear complex differential equations, and it plays a dynamic role
in quantum field theory. The fractional derivative is considered in the Caputo sense, and the projected algorithm
is a graceful mixture of Adomian decomposition scheme with natural transform technique. In order to illustrate
and validate the efficiency of the future technique, we analyzed projected phenomena in terms of fractional order.

Abstract The article proposes an Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) formulation for the linear static analysis of arbitrarily-shaped
shell structures subjected to general surface loads and boundary conditions. A parametrization of the physical
domain is provided by employing a set of curvilinear principal coordinates. The generalized blending methodology
accounts for a distortion of the structure so that disparate geometries can be considered. Each layer of the stacking
sequence has an arbitrary orientation and is modelled as a generally anisotropic continuum. In addition, re-entrant
auxetic three-dimensional honeycomb cells with soft-core behaviour are considered in the model. The unknown
variables are described employing a… More >

Abstract The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock is an essential property of rock material in different relevant
applications, such as rock slope, tunnel construction, and foundation. It takes enormous time and effort to obtain
the UCS values directly in the laboratory. Accordingly, an indirect determination of UCS through conducting
several rock index tests that are easy and fast to carry out is of interest and importance. This study presents
powerful boosting trees evaluation framework, i.e., adaptive boosting machine, extreme gradient boosting machine
(XGBoost), and category gradient boosting machine, for estimating the UCS of sandstone. Schmidt hammer

many interesting properties and identities for them including generating functions, Dobinski-like formula, integral
representations, recurrence relations, differential equation and various explicit expressions. In addition, we explore

Abstract Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a critical enabling tool in the sciences and industry in recent years.
Today’s machine learning algorithms can achieve outstanding performance on an expanding variety of complex
tasks–thanks to advancements in technique, the availability of enormous databases, and improved computing
power. Deep learning models are at the forefront of this advancement. However, because of their nested nonlinear
structure, these strong models are termed as “black boxes,” as they provide no information about how they arrive
at their conclusions. Such a lack of transparencies may be unacceptable in many applications, such as the medical

Abstract Pneumonia is part of the main diseases causing the death of children. It is generally diagnosed through chest X-ray images. With the development of Deep Learning (DL), the diagnosis of pneumonia based on DL has received extensive attention. However, due to the small difference between pneumonia and normal images, the performance of DL methods could be improved. This research proposes a new fine-grained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for children’s pneumonia diagnosis (FG-CPD). Firstly, the fine-grained CNN classification which can handle the slight difference in images is investigated. To obtain the raw images from the real-world chest X-ray data, the YOLOv4… More >
