This paper investigates the application of neural basis expansion analysis with exogenous variables (NBEATSx) in the prediction of daily stock realized volatility for various time steps. It compares NBEATSx’s forecasting accuracy and robustness with several commonly used models, namely Long-Short Term …

Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) of the filler layer in grassed swales are varying in the changing environment. In most of the hydrological models, Ks is assumed as constant or decrease with a clogging factor. However, the Ks measured on site cannot be the input of the hydrological model directly. …

This study explores the shape-morphing behavior of 4D-printed structures made from Polylactic Acid (PLA), a prominent bio-sourced shape-memory polymer. Focusing on the response of these structures to thermal stimuli, this research investigates how various printing parameters influence their morphing …
