Multi-criteria kinetic modeling of kerogen hydrothermal conversion: assessing network complexity and model selection

The kerogen-rich oil shale deposits constitute a strategically vital unconventional resource base. However, suitable kinetic studies that represent the reactions for developing appropriate technologies are scarce. This study systematically evaluates the predictive accuracy of kin...

No emotion-specific image-computable code in the human left amygdala

A common inference in computational neuroscience holds that if a deep network trained to recognize construct X predicts a brain region, that region represents X. We test this for the human amygdala with a representation-invariance criterion: a construct-supervised encoder counts...

Artificial-Lift System Control: A Reduced-Order Transient Model for Real-Time Predictive Control of Electrical Submersible Pump Wells

Unstable well operations, driven by reservoir depletion, high gas–oil ratios, unstable inflow, and surface network interactions, have become a major challenge in modern production — especially in Western Siberian fields — causing flow instabilities and production losses. While nu...
