The downhole engineering parameters measurement sub is a key component of the rotary steerable drilling system. To enable a measurement sub to serve reliably under downhole complex conditions, the structural parameters optimization of its key but weak elastic cell is systematically studied. First, the multiple relations among measurement sensitivities, structural stiffnesses, and strength during structural parameters design are summarized. Second, the selection of the structural parameters of the elastic cell is characterized as a multi-objective optimization model, which is solved using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). Furthermore, the finite element method (FEM) is used to verify the measurement performance and static strength of the proposed structure. Finally, transient dynamics analysis is applied to investigate the dynamic strength of the designed structure. The results show that the proposed parameters optimization strategy can quickly obtain the database for the structural parameters design of an elastic cell. The static analysis results based on the FEM further verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Transient dynamic analysis also reveals the relative rigor of the proposed methodology framework to some extent. This work has practical significance for improving the drilling efficiency and reducing drilling risks. In addition, this proposed methodology has good extensibility.

Machine learning assisted classification RASAR modeling for the nephrotoxicity potential of a curated set of orally active drugs.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Drug Theoretics and Cheminformatics Laboratory, Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, 700 032, India.

We have adopted the classification Read-Across Structure-Activity Relationship (c-RASAR) approach in the present study for machine-learning (ML)-based model development from a recently reported curated dataset of nephrotoxicity potential of orally active drugs. We initially developed ML models using nine different algorithms separately on topological descriptors (referred to as simply "descriptors" in the subsequent sections of the manuscript) and MACCS fingerprints (referred to as "fingerprints" in the subsequent sections of the manuscript), thus generating 18 different ML QSAR models. Using the chemical spaces defined by the modeling descriptors and fingerprints, the similarity and error-based RASAR descriptors were computed, and the most discriminating RASAR descriptors were used to develop another set of 18 different ML c-RASAR models.

The application of high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) for ore crushing is considered to be one of the effective ways to save energy and reduce emissions in the ore processing industry. The crushing effect is directly determined by the forces of ore material during roll crushing. However, the mechanical state of ore material in roll crushing and the effect of roll structure, process parameters, feed particle size, on the force during the crushing of ore material needs to be expanded.

Stability analysis of an expansive soil slope under heavy rainfall conditions with different anchor reinforcements.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Geotechnical Engineering, School of Civil Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200000, China.

This study investigates the vulnerability of expansive soil slopes to destabilization and damage, particularly under intense rainfall, due to their heightened sensitivity to moisture. Focusing on a project in Yunnan Province, numerical simulation software is employed to address slope stability challenges. Meanwhile, the soil mechanical parameters of this study were acquired through experimentation.

The preservation of the original configurations of root canals during endodontic preparation is crucial for treatment success. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems have been refined to optimize canal shaping while minimizing iatrogenic errors. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the shaping efficacy of the novel R-Motion (RM) and the established WaveOne Gold (WG) systems using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).

Real-world data on treatment outcomes or the quality of large-scale chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment programs in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is extremely difficult to obtain. In this study, we aimed to provide data on the prevalence and incidence of mortality, loss to follow-up (LFTU), and their associated factors in patients with CHB in three treatment centres in Eritrea. Additional information includes baseline clinical profiles of CHB patients initiated on nucleos(t)ide analogue (NUCs) along with a comparison of treatment with Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) vs.
