    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.5, pp. 951-967, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.049068 - 17 July 2024

    Abstract The synergistic effect of organoclay (OC) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the crucial properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanocomposite films was systematically investigated herein. After their incorporation into PLA via the solvent casting technique, the water vapor barrier property of the PLA/OC/ZnO film improved by a maximum of 86% compared to the neat PLA film without the deterioration of Young’s modulus or the tensile strength. Moreover, the film’s self-antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens, including gram-negative (Escherichia coli, E. coli) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, S. aureus) bacteria, was enhanced by a maximum of approximately 98–99% compared to the neat… More > Graphic Abstract

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.140, No.3, pp. 3073-3103, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.050606 - 08 July 2024

    Abstract A new one-parameter Chris-Jerry distribution, created by mixing exponential and gamma distributions, is discussed in this article in the presence of incomplete lifetime data. We examine a novel generalized progressively hybrid censoring technique that ensures the experiment ends at a predefined period when the model of the test participants has a Chris-Jerry (CJ) distribution. When the indicated censored data is present, Bayes and likelihood estimations are used to explore the CJ parameter and reliability indices, including the hazard rate and reliability functions. We acquire the estimated asymptotic and credible confidence intervals of each unknown quantity. More >

    Optimizing Hybrid Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Bars Design: A Machine Learning Approach

    Aneel Manan1, Pu Zhang1,*, Shoaib Ahmad2, Jawad Ahmad2

    Journal of Polymer Materials, Vol.41, No.1, pp. 15-44, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jpm.2024.053859 - 21 June 2024

    Abstract Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars are gaining popularity as an alternative to steel reinforcement due to their advantages such as corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio. However, FRP has a lower modulus of elasticity compared to steel. Therefore, special attention is required in structural design to address deflection related issues and ensure ductile failure. This research explores the use of machine learning algorithms such as gene expression programming (GEP) to develop a simple and effective equation for predicting the elastic modulus of hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (HFPR) bars. A comprehensive database of 125 experimental results of HFPR… More >

    THAPE: A Tunable Hybrid Associative Predictive Engine Approach for Enhancing Rule Interpretability in Association Rule Learning for the Retail Sector

    Monerah Alawadh*, Ahmed Barnawi

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.3, pp. 4995-5015, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.048762 - 20 June 2024

    Abstract Association rule learning (ARL) is a widely used technique for discovering relationships within datasets. However, it often generates excessive irrelevant or ambiguous rules. Therefore, post-processing is crucial not only for removing irrelevant or redundant rules but also for uncovering hidden associations that impact other factors. Recently, several post-processing methods have been proposed, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, we propose THAPE (Tunable Hybrid Associative Predictive Engine), which combines descriptive and predictive techniques. By leveraging both techniques, our aim is to enhance the quality of analyzing generated rules. This includes removing irrelevant… More >

    An Imbalanced Data Classification Method Based on Hybrid Resampling and Fine Cost Sensitive Support Vector Machine

    Bo Zhu*, Xiaona Jing, Lan Qiu, Runbo Li

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.3, pp. 3977-3999, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.048062 - 20 June 2024

    Abstract When building a classification model, the scenario where the samples of one class are significantly more than those of the other class is called data imbalance. Data imbalance causes the trained classification model to be in favor of the majority class (usually defined as the negative class), which may do harm to the accuracy of the minority class (usually defined as the positive class), and then lead to poor overall performance of the model. A method called MSHR-FCSSVM for solving imbalanced data classification is proposed in this article, which is based on a new hybrid… More >
