It is common that the deformation of an excavation slope leads to the displacement or even destruction of the surrounding buildings. An effective way to put an end to such accidents is to have adequate knowledge on the trigger factors of the deformation and failure of excavation slopes. Herein,...

Acrylate copolymers were successfully prepared by simple free radical polymerization. Acrylate copolymers are used as a functional filler in epoxy composite coatings. The epoxy groups in acrylate copolymers improve their dispersion and compatibility in the coatings, and their hydrogen bond...

Surface coordination unsaturation cation in hydrotalcite-derived CoAl oxides is crucial to improve catalytic performance during soot combustion. Herein, the hydrotalcites-derived Co 2-x Ni x AlO catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The characteristic nanosheet structure of...

Relevance vector machine, a sparse probabilistic learning machine based on the kernel function, has excellent ability of prediction and generalization. It is proposed by this paper that the optimized relevance vector machine (ORVM) is a wind power interval forecasting model which is able to...
