Charged Higgs prospects in extended gauge models by Baradhwaj Coleppa, Gokul B. Krishna, Agnivo Sarkar

“…We then study the phenomenological implications of our findings in the context of a generic toy model with a $$H^{\pm }$$ H ± as well as in a more realistic electroweak symmetry breaking scenario.…”

A mixed-integer exponential cone programming formulation for feature subset selection in logistic regression by Sahand Asgharieh Ahari, Burak Kocuk

“…Finally, we solve our MIEXP models using the solver MOSEK and evaluate the performance of our different versions over a set of toy examples and benchmark datasets. The results show that our approach is quite successful in obtaining accurate and interpretable prediction models compared to other methods from the literature.…”

Module-Fluidics: Building Blocks for Spatio-Temporal Microenvironment Control by Bowen Ling, Ilenia Battiato

“…The modularized design, here referred to as module-fluidics, similar in principle to interlocking toy bricks, is constructed from a combination of two building blocks and allows one to achieve versatility and flexibility in dynamically controlling input concentration. …”

Pre-energy reasoning in preschool children by DIMITRIS KOLIOPOULOS, VASILIA CHRISTIDOU, IRINI SYMIDALA, ΜARIA KOUTSIOUBA

“…They were presented with two different phenomenological situations considered as important for the establishment of pre-energy reasoning: the movement of a toy car with the use of batteries and the movement of an identical car with the use of a spring. …”

One-dimensional nature of protein low-energy vibrations by Minhao Yu, Pan Tan, Yiyang Ye, David J. Voneshen, Xiangjun Xing, Liang Hong

“…More importantly, the complex spatiotemporal features of interatomic vibrations observed in an all-atom simulation are qualitatively reproduced by an ultrasimple toy model, a one-dimensional harmonic chain, where the vibrations propagate along the peptide chain, but are confined and damped by noncovalent interactions surrounding the chain. …”

A new maximum-likelihood method for template fits by Hans Dembinski, Ahmed Abdelmotteleb

“…The performance of the new likelihood is evaluated based on toy examples. The performance is excellent – point estimates have small bias and confidence intervals have good coverage – and is comparable to the exact Barlow–Beeston likelihood when the templates are not weighted. …”

Categories, Quantum Computing, and Swarm Robotics: A Case Study by Maria Mannone, Valeria Seidita, Antonio Chella

“…Thus, we attempt to shape the structure of such an interaction term, using language and tools of quantum computing for a quantitative simulation of a toy model. We choose quantum computing because of its computational efficiency. …”

Real Player Manifesto by Marguerite Charmante

“…The ludic field covers topics of Real Play and uselessness in techno Toy objects. In the nascent discipline Ludics an investigator of games applies poetic practices of games and play as method of research. …”

Translation Procedures of Cultural-Bound Expressions in the Egyptian Vernacular Dubbed Versions of Three Disney Animated Movies by Al-Yasin Noor

“…Three Disney animated movies were selected for this purpose, The Lion King, Toy Story 2, and Finding Nemo. To analyse the dubbed culture-bound expressions, I adopted Tomaszkiewicz’s procedures of dubbing and subtitling. …”

The relationship between temperament and cognitive flexibility in infants by Lee, Janice Jia Yi

“…This study investigates the relationship between temperament and cognitive flexibility in infants. 28 infants completed the A-not-B task which measures cognitive flexibility via finding a toy that switches in hiding location. Infants were rated on temperament scales of surgency, negative affect and effortful control. …”

How market ecology explains market malfunction by Scholl, M, Calinescu, A, Farmer, J

“…Here we develop an alternative based on concepts and methods developed by biologists, in which the wealth invested in a financial strategy is like the abundance of a species. We study a toy model of a market consisting of value investors, trend followers, and noise traders. …”

The flattening and the orbital structure of early-type galaxies and collisionless N-body binary disc mergers by Thomas, J, Jesseit, R, Saglia, R, Bender, R, Burkert, A, Corsini, E, Gebhardt, K, Magorrian, J, Naab, T, Thomas, D, Wegner, G

“…Using three-integral axisymmetric toy models, we show that flattening by stellar anisotropy maximizes the entropy for a given density distribution. …”

Modelling light-cone distribution amplitudes from non-relativistic bound states by Bell, G, Feldmann, T

“…Our results apply to hard exclusive reactions with non-relativistic bound states in the QCD factorization approach like, for instance, B c η cℓν or e +e - J/ψη c. They also serve as a toy model for light-cone distribution amplitudes of light mesons or heavy B and D mesons, for which certain model-independent properties can be derived. …”

On the use of inexact, pruned hardware in atmospheric modelling. by Düben, P, Joven, J, Lingamneni, A, McNamara, H, De Micheli, G, Palem, K, Palmer, T

“…The set-up is tested on the Lorenz '96 model, a toy model for atmospheric dynamics, using software emulation for the proposed hardware. …”

Synchronization in collectively moving inanimate and living active matter by Michael Riedl, Isabelle Mayer, Jack Merrin, Michael Sixt, Björn Hof

“…Employing a simpler and more readily accessible mechanical model system of active spheres, we identify the synchronization of the individuals’ internal oscillators as one of the essential requirements to reach the corresponding collective state. The mechanical ‘toy’ experiment illustrates that the global synchronous state is achieved by nearest neighbor coupling. …”
