TSUKUBA, Japan, Oct 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Polymers such as polypropylene are fundamental materials in the modern world, found in everything from computers to cars. Because of their ubiquity, it’s vital that materials scientists know exactly how each newly developed polymer will perform under different preparation conditions. Thanks to a new study, which was published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, scientists can now use machine learning to determine what to expect from a new polymer.Machine learning predicts the material properties of new polymers with high accuracy, providing a nondestructive alternative to conventional polymer testing methods.Predicting the mechanical properties of new polymers, such as their tensile strength or flexibility, usually involves putting them through destructive and costly physical tests. However, a team of researchers from Japan, led by Dr. Ryo Tamura, Dr. Kenji Nagata, and Dr. Takashi Nakanishi from the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, showed that machine learning can predict the material properties of polymers. They developed the method on a group of polymers called homo-polypropylenes, using X-ray diffraction patterns of the polymers under different preparation conditions to provide detailed information about their complex structure and features.“Machine learning can be applied to data from existing materials to predict the properties of unknown materials,” Drs. Tamura, Nagata, and Nakanishi explain. “However, to achieve accurate predictions, it’s essential to use descriptors that correctly represent the features of these materials.”Thermoplastic crystalline polymers, such as polypropylene, have a particularly complex structure that is further altered during the process of molding them into the shape of the end product. It was, therefore, important for the team to adequately capture the details of the polymers’ structure with X-ray diffraction and to ensure that the machine learning algorithm could identify the most important descriptors in that data.The new method accurately captured the structural changes of commonly used plastic Polypropylene during the molding process into the end product.To that end, they analysed two datasets using a tool called Bayesian spectral deconvolution, which can extract patterns from complex data. The first dataset was X-ray diffraction data from 15 types of homo-polypropylenes subjected to a range of temperatures, and the second was data from four types of homo-polypropylenes that underwent injection molding. The mechanical properties analysed included stiffness, elasticity, the temperature at which the material starts to deform, and how much it would stretch before breaking.The team found that the machine learning analysis accurately linked features in the X-ray diffraction imagery with specific material properties of the polymers. Some of the mechanical properties were easier to predict from the X-ray diffraction data, while others, such as the stretching break point, were more challenging.“We believe our study, which describes the procedure used to provide a highly accurate machine learning prediction model using only the X-ray diffraction results of polymer materials, will offer a nondestructive alternative to conventional polymer testing methods,” the NIMS researchers say.The team also suggested that their Bayesian spectral deconvolution approach could be applied to other data, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and used to understand the properties of other materials, both inorganic and organic.“It could become a test case for future data-driven approaches to polymer design and science,” the NIMS team says.Further informationRyo TamuraNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)tamura.ryo@nims.go.jpKenji NagataNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nagata.kenji@nims.go.jpTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2024.2388016About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

SINGAPORE, Oct 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - EduEdge is proud to announce its Formula-Style method, designed to transform the way struggling students master English. Despite English being Singapore's first language, many students struggle with deeper aspects of the language, such as comprehension, written expression and critical thinking. This proficiency gap affects not only their English grades but also their performance in other subjects. Research highlights a strong link between English language proficiency and academic achievement in areas like Maths and Science, underscoring the importance of mastering English for well-rounded academic success.From left to right: Angela's mum, brother, EduEdge Founders: Edwin Edangelus Cheng and Rowena May Yue, Angela Ray OhTraditional teaching methods often fall short of helping students achieve true language mastery. As English is the most widely spoken language globally, this lack of holistic proficiency concerns parents who want their children to excel, not just in exams but in life. EduEdge addresses this challenge through a revolutionary approach to English education.Pioneered by founder Edwin Edangelus Cheng, EduEdge developed the groundbreaking Formula-Style method, designed to take the guesswork out of English learning. Backed by years of educational research, this structured approach goes beyond exam preparation by equipping students with the critical language skills and deep understanding necessary for lifelong success. By breaking down complex language concepts into easy-to-apply formulas, EduEdge empowers students to excel academically while mastering the communication skills essential for future professional achievements.Edwin Edangelus Cheng's personal journey resonates with many parents and students. "I once was like your child," Edwin shares, recalling his struggles with English as a student from a Chinese-speaking family. His experience and years as a public school teacher, where he taught both English and Physics, inspired him to find structured methods for language learning."I saw how students approached learning English," Edwin explains. "They often rely on intuition without the structure or proper articulation needed for true mastery. In Physics, we see results quickly because of its formula and steps. I wondered, could the same formula-style approach work for English?" This question led to the development of EduEdge's Formula-Style method, offering a more structured and methodical way to teach and learn English.What makes the Formula-Style method different is its ability to break down English learning into easy-to-apply and easy-to-remember formulas, similar to Maths and Science. This system, known as the Total English Mastery System (TEMS), helps students learn English in a faster, smarter and more effective way. Over the past 10 years, TEMS has helped more than 3,500 students from over 150 schools across Singapore improve by at least two grades, with many achieving high Bs and As in English and General Paper (GP) exams. Students who started with borderline or failing grades found success by mastering six core language skills—Vocabulary, Grammar, Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.The impact of the Formula-Style method is shown in the stories of students who have experienced notable success. One such example is Angela Ray Oh, who, like many others, struggled with English during secondary school and was stuck at a C6 grade despite her determination. Her breakthrough came in Sec 4 when her mum enrolled her in EduEdge. After learning structured techniques, Angela's approach to English transformed, leading her to score an A2 for her O-Levels.The benefits of these techniques extended beyond secondary school. While studying at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Angela was awarded the Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) STEP Award, a highly competitive scholarship. The application process required writing two essays within 48 hours. Drawing on the writing techniques and critical thinking skills she gained at EduEdge, Angela crafted her submissions with confidence and aced both essays and the interview, demonstrating how EduEdge's method equips students for real-world success.This success is no coincidence. EduEdge's Formula-Style method is powerful, but its true impact is realised through the exceptional educators who bring it to life. The highly qualified and passionate teachers at EduEdge are rigorously selected, ensuring that the method is delivered to its full potential. This combination of structured techniques and top-tier teaching creates a transformative learning experience that drives students' success.Every journey at EduEdge begins with a Diagnostic Consultation Assessment (DCA) involving both parents and students. This personalised session provides a clear and quantifiable understanding of the child's current abilities and identifies specific areas that need improvement. Many parents believe misconceptions like, "My child speaks English, but their test results aren't great," or "My child reads a lot, but the results aren't improving." The DCA dispels these misconceptions by pinpointing underlying issues in comprehension, writing or critical thinking. This tailored approach allows EduEdge to develop a plan for effective improvement, ensuring more conducive learning.Parental involvement is a key aspect of the EduEdge approach. Regular feedback is provided via email, based on detailed marking of the child's submitted work. This ensures parents stay up to date on their child's progress. Post-lesson consultations are also available to address any specific concerns.Committed to continuous innovation, EduEdge keeps refining its methods to ensure students receive quality education not just for exams but for lifelong success. As part of its forward-thinking approach, EduEdge is exploring the use of AI and cutting-edge technology to personalise learning for every student further and extend educational support beyond the classroom. These tools will help create a more adaptive learning environment that tracks progress, identifies areas for improvement in real time and provides tailored resources.Additionally, EduEdge is expanding its reach with care, ensuring that high teaching quality is never diluted while maintaining accessibility for students and parents. With existing branches in Serangoon and Bukit Timah, EduEdge is set to open a new branch in Marine Parade, further increasing accessibility across Singapore while upholding the high standards that has made it one of the country's leading English tuition specialists.Experience the EduEdge difference today.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 24, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTC Pink: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") announces it has signed a binding LOI to acquire further claims surrounding its West Gore Antimony Project ("West Gore" or the "Project") to consolidate the mineralized area. West Gore is a brownfield project with past production, historical high-grade drill results include 7.07 metres of 10.6 gpt gold and 3.4% antimony. During a period of production, it was Canada's most prominent antimony mine.West Gore consists of four Exploration Licenses comprising 585 hectares located in Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada, and the newly acquired ground adds 388 hectares to the immediate northwest of the Project, comprising the balance of the West Gore antimony-gold mineralized system and its historical mine workings. The Company has a three-year option to acquire a 100% interest in the licenses for $235,000 spread over the term and the sellers will receive a 3% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") with standard buy-back provisions. It is anticipated the Company will announce the Definitive Agreement within ten days.The historical West Gore mines have a mining history dating back to 1883 and were a significant source of antimony during the First World War, most of which was shipped to England. Total production of gold and antimony between 1883 and 1917, the last recorded year of production, remains unknown. However, between 1914 and 1917 alone, nearly 32,000 metric tons were mined yielding over 7,000 metric tons of antimony concentrate grading 46% antimony. The total amount of gold recovered up to 1917 was estimated to be nearly 6,900 ounces. Aside from minor exploration work in the 1960s, the 1980s, and again over the past few years, the West Gore system remains essentially unexplored.With the acquisition of the new claims the Company has gained complete coverage over the entire mineralized system including all the historical mine workings and known antimony-gold occurrences with additional ground along trend in both directions as exhibited in Map 1 below. This in turn enables the Company to approach this antimony-gold system in its entirety to unlock future value. All relevant data are in the process of being compiled into an integrated digital database, with exploration plans to follow.Map 1: West Gore Project ClaimsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/227668_841965127489abc4_001full.jpgAntimony-gold mineralization at West Gore is hosted in graphitic and sulfide-bearing slates of the lower units of the Cambrian-age Halifax Formation that were deformed into a northeast-trending, upright, closed syncline and metamorphosed to greenschist facies during the regional Acadian orogeny. Mineralization occurs as stibnite, native antimony, aurostibnite, and antimony-gold alloys and oxides. Whereas the fold belt strikes northeast-southwest, mineralized structures trend northwest-southeast.The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E.
