Reactive nitrogen plasma spray coating of titanium nitride: plasma torch design and coating analysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this paper, a thermal DC plasma torch was designed and developed for plasma spraying of a titanium nitride layer. Thermal plasma spray torch is a kind of non-transferred torch which can produce a high energy and high temperature plasma arc jet. Ti powders were injected into the plasma jet interacted with nitrogen plasma, resulted in a thick and hard

Characterisation of Hedge Burning in the Context of Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Prevention

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With global warming, the wildfire season tends to get longer, causing fatalities and devastating damage to human property. Although many countries have implemented fire risk prevention measures, particularly in Wildland Urban Interfaces (WUI), this finding shows that there are weaknesses in the prevention measures. This is mainly due to a lack

Torch-Struct: Deep Structured Prediction Library [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The literature on structured prediction for NLP describes a rich collection of distributions and algorithms over sequences, segmentations, alignments, and trees; however, these algorithms are difficult to utilize in deep learning frameworks. We introduce Torch-Struct, a library for structured prediction designed to take advantage of and integrate with ...
