Abstract: Embodiments described herein are related to systems and methods for converting hierarchical data into relational data. In one aspect, a system obtains a data object of the set of data objects in the hierarchical data. For the data object, the system can determine an anchor path and an object path. An anchor path may indicate or may be associated with a corresponding table to generate. An object path may indicate or may be associated with a corresponding column of the table. The system can determine, from a set of candidate anchor paths, an anchor path for the data object. The system can determine, from a set of candidate object paths, an object path for the data object. The system can generate a row of the table associated with the anchor path, where the row may include a value of the data object at a column associated with the object path.

Abstract: Assessing an interaction between solid particles and a thermoplastic material in which the solid particles are dispersed includes combining a thermoplastic material with a multiplicity of solid particles to yield a heterogeneous mixture, processing the heterogeneous mixture to yield an unconditioned sample, conditioning the unconditioned sample to yield a conditioned sample, subjecting the conditioned sample to a ramping shear rate from an initial shear rate to a final shear rate, assessing a viscosity of the conditioned sample at a plurality of shear rates between the initial shear rate and the final shear rate, and assessing a value of a slope of a shear-thinning region for the unconditioned sample using a power-law equation.
