Investigation of Pressure-Tube and Calandria-Tube Deformation Following a Single Channel Blockage Event in ACR-700 by Gerardi, Craig Douglas, Buongiorno, Jacopo

“…The characteristic time scales for this 100-g case are as follows: PT bulging starts within 3 s of Zry/PT contact - PT makes contact with the CT in another 2 s - CT bulging starts in less than 1 s - CT failure occurs within another 5 s. …”

Draft Methodology for Measuring Change in Market Systems by Blair, Courtney, Gralla, Erica, Goentzel, Jarrod, Wetmore, Finley, Peters, Megan

“…It describes a cycle of steps that enable the development, validation, use, and adaptation of a set of indicators for measuring system change. The following are included: • methodology description; • application of the methodology to the financial subsystem, including development of specific indicators; and • application of the methodology to explore the regulatory subsystem’s impact on other areas, including development of specific indicators.…”

Theory of Deep Learning IIb: Optimization Properties of SGD by Zhang, Chiyuan, Liao, Qianli, Rakhlin, Alexander, Miranda, Brando, Golowich, Noah, Poggio, Tomaso

“…The main new result in this paper is theoretical and experimental evidence for the following conjecture about SGD: SGD concentrates in probability - like the classical Langevin equation – on large volume, “flat” minima, selecting flat minimizers which are with very high probability also global minimizers.…”
