Abstract: The proposed model is a Variational Autoencoder having a learnable prior that is parametrized with a Tensor Train (VAE-TTLP). The VAE-TTLP can be used to generate new objects, such as molecules, that have specific properties and that can have specific biological activity (when a molecule). The VAE-TTLP can be trained in a way with the Tensor Train so that the provided data may omit one or more properties of the object, and still result in an object with a desired property.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for separating gases in a mixed gas feed stream, and to an apparatus for carrying out said method.

Abstract: The invention relates to gas separation, in particular to separation of CO2 from CO2-rich liquids, particularly from CO2 absorption liquids used in the removal of CO2 from off-gases or product flows, such as natural gas or synthesis gas. According to the invention, CO2 is separated from a CO2-rich liquid by a method comprising a step wherein, under elevated pressure, said liquid is contacted with a membrane based on polyacetylene substituted with trimethylsilyl groups such that the pressure across the membrane is at least 1 bar and that at least a part of the CO2 is transported from the liquid through the membrane.

Abstract: A spinneret precluding the possibility for its material to be stuck to a cutting tool in the course of making a calibrated orifice of a small diameter and ideal as to its form, which will contribute to prolonging the service life of such a spinneret, getting a stable method of forming and maintaining good quality of obtained threads and fibers without impairing the corrosion resistance of the spinneret. The objective is achieved owing to the fact that the spinneret is made of a zirconium alloy containing, in wt. %: niobium ?0.05-1.1 oxygen 0.001-0.2 nitrogen 0.001-0.006 silicon 0.001-0.02 iron 0.001-0.05 molybdenum 0.001-0.005 impurities 0.005-0.26 zirconium the rest. The service life of the resultant spinneret may be increased by 8-27%, the stability of the forming method and quality of threads and fibers are increased.
