The current ethical and regulatory framework for research is often charged with burdening investigators and impeding socially valuable research. To address these concerns, a growing number of research ethicists argue that informed consent should be adapted to the risks of research participation. This would require less rigorous consent standards in low-risk research than in high-risk research. ...

Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) offer the capability to store large amounts of energy cheaply and efficiently, however, there is a need for fast accurate models charge–discharge curve VRFB potentially improve battery capacity performance. We develop multifidelity model predicting VRFB. In model, we use Physics-informed CoKriging (CoPhIK) machine learning method that trained on experimenta...

As marketing continues to be transformed by technology and the explosion of big data, academic research has identified a significant need for analytics skills in education. However, it is unclear whether current curriculum approaches equip students with employers prepare them effectively data-driven roles. This study identifies knowledge graduates require practice bridge theory-practice gap inc...
