Organic-inorganic hybrid materials formed by sequential vapor infiltration (SVI) of trimethylaluminum into polyester fibers are demonstrated, and the photoluminescence of the fibers is evaluated using a combined UV-vis and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy approach. The optical activity of the modified fibers depends on infiltration thermal processing conditions and is attributed ...

This paper presents a continuous and discrete Lagrangian theory for stochastic Hamiltonian systems on manifolds, akin to the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck theory of Brownian motion in a force field. The main result is to derive governing SDEs for such systems from a critical point of a stochastic action. Using this result, the paper derives Langevin-type equations for constrained mechanical systems and im...

The rapid evolution of Next Generation Sequencing technology will soon make it possible to test patients for genetic disorders at population scale. However, clinical interpretation of human variants extracted from raw NGS data in the clinical setting is likely to become a bottleneck, as long as it requires expert human judgement. While several attempts are under way to try and automate the diag...

Amortized variational inference (AVI) replaces instance-specific local inference with a global inference network. While AVI has enabled efficient training of deep generative models such as variational autoencoders (VAE), recent empirical work suggests that inference networks can produce suboptimal variational parameters. We propose a hybrid approach, to use AVI to initialize the variational par...

The occurrence and abundance of the microfauna groups were compared with the physico-chemical and operational parameters of the Baoding Lugang Sewage Treatment Plant in China. Attached and crawling ciliates were the dominant groups of ciliates. Crawling ciliates and testate amoebae showed a strong association with effluent BOD5 (biochemical oxygen demand). Therefore, these two groups are likely...

In a Hadamard manifold, let the VIP and SVI represent variational inequality problem system of inequalities, respectively, where consists two inequalities which are symmetric structure mutually. This article designs parallel algorithms to solve via subgradient extragradient approach, each algorithm parts It is proven that, if underlying vector fields monotonicity, then sequences constructed by ...

The wastewater generated by the textile industry is rated as the most polluting among all industrial sectors considering both volumes discharged and effluent composition. Present investigation intended for COD and color removal from textile wastewater using naturally prepared coagulants i.e. Surjana Seed Powder (SSP), Maize Seed Powder (MSP) and Chitosan. Effect of coagulant dose, flocculation ...

Variational inference algorithms have proven successful for Bayesian analysis in large data settings, with recent advances using stochastic variational inference (SVI). However, such methods have largely been studied in independent or exchangeable data settings. We develop an SVI algorithm to learn the parameters of hidden Markov models (HMMs) in a time-dependent data setting. The challenge in ...

Although operators periodically measure the sludge volume index (SVI) to stabilize bioreactor and solid–liquid separation during wastewater treatment process, there is a problem of inconsistency attributed subjective judgment operator. This study aims investigate possibility securing objective data by employing CdS (cadmium–sulfur) photoresistors for SVI measurements. The sedimentation velocity...
