Biomedical Event Extraction (BEE) is a demanding and prominent technology that attracts the researchers and scientists in the field of natural language processing (NLP). The conventional method ...relies mostly on external NLP packages and manual designed features, where the features engineering is complex and large. In addition, the conventional methods on BEE uses a pipeline process that splits a task into many sub-tasks, however, the relationship between these sub-tasks is not defined. In this paper, such limitations are avoided using the combination technique that relies on Capsule Network (CapsNet) to perform a task. The CapsNet is used for the extraction of feature representation from the input corpora and then the combination technique reconstructs the events from RNN output. This method extracts the tasks from a BEE over several annotated corpora that extract the events from the molecular level in case of multi-level events. The proposed model is compared with state-of-the-art models over various text corpora datasets. The results show an improved rate of accuracy of CapsNet classification over cancer biomedical events than the existing methods.
AbstractGeotechnical centrifuge modeling provides a means of accelerating the transport of contaminants through a soil matrix. Contaminant transport mechanisms occurring in the geotechnical ...centrifuge model can be used to verify various mathematical and analytical models. This technical note presents modeling of chloride (Cl) diffusion through soils in a geotechnical centrifuge. Acceleration level, N, of 100 g was used for centrifuge modeling of Cl migration through 7.5-m-deep soil strata for a period of 150 and 600 days. From the centrifuge test results, the Reynolds number, R, and Péclet number, P, were found to be several orders less than unity. This indicates that the dominant Cl transport mechanism in the soil is diffusion. Finite-element modeling was performed, using SEEP/W and CTRAN/W, to validate the experimental results, and excellent matching has been obtained. The study also highlights that geotechnical centrifuge modeling can be used as a viable alternative to field scale experimentation.

(Y-211) preform prior to the infiltration of liquid phases, on the end microstructures and current densities is investigated. It is found that a preform compaction pressure of 460 MPa resulted in samples with superior microstructures and superconducting properties. YBCO sample fabricated by DS-POIGP under optimized conditions revealed presence of fine-sized Y-211 particles distributed uniformly in the matrix of Y-123 causing large interfacial defect density (Y-211/Y-123). Extensive twinning on a nano-scale with twins in the size range of 40–100 nm is observed in the optimized sample.

Doping of non-interacting nanoparticles in YBCO superconductors in order to get fine microstructure defects has been studied. Y-211 inclusion, itself has large potential to create structural defects ...without affecting Y-123 matrix phase. Nanoparticles of grain refining agent like CeO2/Pt/PtO2 are interesting dopants, especially CeO2 for being cheaper than Pt. POIG process, as is one of the advance processing techniques to get uniform distribution of fine Y-211 particles of the order of 1-2 μm, throughout the YBCO composites. Finer Y-211 particles can drastically increase the pinning centers. Introduction of fine sized CeO2 as grain refining agent to reduce the size of Y-211 particles would create additional pinning centers. In the present work, the effect of CeO2 on Y-211size and distribution in POIG processed YBCO composite was studied. It was observed that with increase in CeO2 content Y-211 particle size decreases below 1μm and even less than 0.5μm for 10 weight percent CeO2 doping. The mechanism for refinement appears to be the formation of BaCeO3 on the surface of Y-211 during liquid phase infiltration that leads to splitting of Y-211 into smaller particles.
The effect of compaction pressure applied to the Y sub(2)BaCuO sub(5) (Y-211) preform during its fabrication, on the final microstructures and current densities (J sub()c is investigated. The ...necessity for optimizing the sintering conditions in order to provide mechanical stability to the preform prior to the infiltration of liquid phases is demonstrated. The sample fabricated under optimized conditions showed J sub()cvalues better than 10 super(3) A cm super(-2) up to applied magnetic fields of 6.5 Tesla at 77 K. The microstructural factors influencing the field dependence of J sub()c'J sub(c)(H)' at low and high fields are investigated. Extensive nano-twinning with large number of crossing twins observed in the optimized sample and the associated high defect densities are correlated to be the source of flux pinning to high fields. The fact that YBa sub(2)Cu sub(3)O sub(7- delta) (YBCO, Y-123) superconductor obtained employing the present Preform Optimized Infiltration and Growth Process (POIGP) yields a homogenous and dense distribution of fine Y-211 particles, that creates suitable twin/ defect densities to provide flux pinning at high fields, is of technical importance.
Multilayered YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) thick films were coated on silver substrates by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) followed by heat treatment. A butanol-based YBCO suspension is used instead of the ...common acetone–iodine combination. Tests with several dispersing agents reveal that a branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) dispersant develops large positive surface charge on suspended YBCO particles. As a demonstration of the performance of this new suspension formulation, a 12-layer 100µm-thick YBCO coating was deposited on an Ag tube. The superconducting transition is sharp with onset critical temperature at 92K. The sample can shield a magnetic field of ~1.3mT at 77K, i.e., the best value so far for an YBCO coating on a metallic substrate.

We report a complete procedure to achieve multilayer YBa sub(2)Cu sub(3)O sub(7- delta ) (YBCO) thick films by electrophoretic deposition on silver tubes using a suspension of YBCO powder in butanol. ...With the aim to optimize the magnetic shielding performances of the coatings, we have carried out an extensive investigation of the influence of the deposition parameters, the multilayer deposition sequence and the intermediate/final heat treatments on the coating microstructure. Using the optimized conditions, a 24-layer YBCO coating has been successfully prepared on an 80 mm long Ag tube: the melt growth processed multilayered YBCO thick film thus obtained can shield an applied magnetic field of 1.9 mT at 77 K, the highest value per thickness unit reported so far in the literature for these materials.
