Co-history Matching: A Way Forward for Estimating Representative Saturation Functions

A way forward for whistleblowing.

Medicine has shed many of its privileges. Some remain and are unlikely to disappear. Knowing which of our colleagues to consult when illness strikes is priceless, if only because we can avoid a colleague who we know poses a risk to patients. This sacred knowledge is guarded by hushed whispers and nods and winks. Medical students know the repute of their teachers; junior doctors share horror sto...

Estimating the Saturation Thermodynamic Properties of Propene Using a Feed Forward Neural Network

A feed forward neural network model is applied to forecast the saturation thermodynamic properties of propene. The method has been used to estimate thermodynamic properties including the heat capacity, Joule-Thomson coefficient, viscosity, thermal conductivity and surface tension. Conducted experimental investigations show applicability of the proposed approach. Comparing with other theoretical...

Developing Kham: A Way Forward

This essay examines the current state of economic development and environmental degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, focusing primarily on the nomadic area of Zhidou County (Sanjiangyuan region), Yushu Prefecture, Qinghai Province. Current initiatives from the provincial government, though well intentioned, are missing key elements in order to develop the region and maintain the preserva...

Powerful Computing: A Way Forward?

Many academics, largely scientists and engineers but also social scientists and management researchers, find that they need more compute power than is provided “on their desk”. If a machine twice as fast is required, then buying one is generally feasible, but this approach rapidly runs into the buffers of price, power consumption, air (or water!) cooling, and sheer availability. The future lies...
