Exploring machine learning models to predict atmospheric water harvesting with an ion deposition membrane
No full textThis work investigates the performance of a novel membrane-based atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) unit under various operating conditions of ambient temperature, relative humidity (RH), and carrier fluid flow rate. Ion deposition membranes (IDMs) were selected for their ability to enhance water uptake by lowering the water vapor saturation pressure at the gas-membrane interface. This effect, achieved through metal ion implantation into PTFE-based membranes, improves water harvesting rates – especially under low RH conditions – by up to a factor of four compared to untreated membranes. The benchmark design was tested over all possible combinations of four distinct carrier fluid flow rates, three temperatures, and six RH values. The yield with a lab-scale prototype was as high as 354 ml/day of water, with an average of 155 ml/day, corresponding to water harvesting rates of 22.13 kg/m2/day and 9.69 kg/m2/day, respectively. The experimental dataset obtained was used to build three machine learning (ML) regression models to predict the amount of water harvested under specific operating conditions. The ML techniques are: Support Vector Regression, Gradient Boosting Regression, and Multilayer Perceptron. These methods achieved accuracy scores as high as 89 %, proving suitable for implementation in the regulation of AWH plants featuring this technology. The best-performing model (Multilayer Perceptron) was used to predict the water harvesting potential on a typical spring day in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a region facing severe water scarcity
Ventriloquism Days: In Conversation with David Mathew
No full textDavid Mathew is the author of three novels – O My Days, Creature Feature, and most recently Ventriloquists – and a volume of short stories entitled Paranoid Landscapes. His wide areas of interest include psychoanalysis, linguistics, distance learning, prisons and online anxiety. With approximately 600 published pieces to his name, including a novel based on his time working in the education department of a maximum security prison (O My Days), he has published widely in academic, journalistic and fiction outlets. In addition to his writing, he co-edits The Journal of Pedagogic Development (at the University of Bedfordshire, UK), teaches academic writing, and he particularly enjoys lecturing in foreign countries and learning about wine. He is a member of the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and Allied Professionals, Evidence Informed Policy and Practice in Education in Europe (EIPPEE), and the European Association for the Teaching of Academic Writing. He was also a member of The Health Technology Assessment programme (www.hta.ac.uk), as part of the NIHR Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre at the University of Southampton (2009-2013). We met at his home in the south-east of England in November 2014 to discuss his approaches to writing and his new novel, Ventriloquists
Fifty Forensic Fables
No full textThis book does for the legal profession in England what George Ade's fables do more broadly. These are enjoyable tales with pleasing caricatures. All the actors are humans. A funny appendix follows The Story of an Ancient Line through twelve generations. The book shows what fable meant earlier in this century.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)O (Theo Mathew
Mastering Chat GPT Fundamentals, Applications, and Ethical Considerations
No full text<p>Welcome to the world of artificial intelligence and natural language processing, where innovation and advancement are constant companions.

Towards an enhanced understanding of bias in pre-trained neural language models: a survey with special emphasis on affective bias
No full textThe remarkable progress in Natural Language Processing (NLP) brought about by deep learning, particularly with the recent advent of large pre-trained neural language models, is brought into scrutiny as several studies began to discuss and report potential biases in NLP applications. Bias in NLP is found to originate from latent historical biases encoded by humans into textual data which gets perpetuated or even amplified by NLP algorithm. We present a survey to comprehend bias in large pre-trained language models and analyze the stages at which they occur in these models, and various ways in which these biases could be quantified and mitigated. Considering wide applicability of textual affective computing-based downstream tasks in real-world systems such as business, health care, and education, we give a special emphasis on investigating bias in the context of affect (emotion) i.e., Affective Bias, in large pre-trained language models. We present a summary of various bias evaluation corpora that help to aid
The Psalter in the Description of Jesus’ Passion from the Gospel of St. Mathew
No full textThe author focuses on the quotations from the psalms that we find in the description of Jesus’ Passion in the Gospel of St. Mathew. It turns out that almost all the quotations from the psalms (with the exception of 26, 64: Ps 109, 1 LXX) stress the human nature of Jesus, i.e. they are anthropologically oriented. The author discusses each of the seven quotations in the context of the psalm, and then in the context of Jesus’ Passion. Following partly the Gos¬pel of St. Mark, St. Mathew enhances in the reader a belief that Jesus in His Passion is the Suffering Just and the suffering poor Jehovah
Further Forensic Fables
No full textI had earlier found Fifty Forensic Fables, though in a republication by the original publisher in 1949. See my comments there. Again, these stories had all appeared in the Law Journal. Before the thirty fables, this volume, like the first, offers a table of cases cited and a table of statutes. Again, each story has an enjoyable newspaper-like caricature. One can get a good sense of these stories, I believe, by trying the second and third of them. In The Industrious Youth and the Stout Stranger (5), a con man looking like W.C. Fields hires the industrious youth and then borrows a sum of money from him. Of course the industrious youth never sees him again. In Mr. Whitewig and the Rash Question (9), the young Mr. Whitewig has established a very strong case when he asks one question too many of the Police Inspector, i.e., why he arrested the defendant. That question produces the records of nine previous convictions. There are twenty-six pages given to an index starting on 107. The covers are heavy boards with titles pasted on.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)By O (Theo Mathew
