Supervised Machine Learning Techniques to the Prediction of Tunnel Boring Machine Penetration Rate

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Predicting the penetration rate is a complex and challenging task due to the interaction between the tunnel boring machine (TBM) and the rock mass. Many studies highlight the use of empirical and theoretical techniques in predicting TBM performance ...

The effect of drought on wood-boring in trees and saplings in a tropical forest

open access: yes, 2021
Droughts are predicted to increase in severity in many regions due to climate change and there is strong evidence that such events can lead to increased insect attack and consequent widespread tree mortality in temperate forests.

Boring Thoughts and Bored Minds: The MAC Model of Boredom and Cognitive Engagement

open access: yesPsychology Review, 2018
What is boredom? We review environmental, attentional, and functional theories and present a new model that describes boredom as an affective indicator of unsuccessful attentional engagement in valued goal-congruent activity. According to the Meaning and
