An optimization formulation for characterization of pulsatile cortisol secretion by Faghih, Rose Taj, Dahleh, Munther A, Brown, Emery Neal

“…We use four examples to illustrate the performance of this approach: (i) a toy problem that achieves impulse control, (ii) two examples that achieve physiologically plausible pulsatile cortisol release, (iii) an example where the number of pulses is not within the physiologically plausible range for healthy subjects while the cortisol levels are within the desired range. …”

Using topological data analysis (TDA) and persistent homology to analyze the stock markets in Singapore and Taiwan by Yen, Peter Tsung-Wen, Cheong, Siew Ann

“…We first explain signatures that can be detected using TDA, for three toy models of topological changes. We then showed how to go beyond network concepts like nodes (0-simplex) and links (1-simplex), and the standard minimal spanning tree or planar maximally filtered graph picture of the cross correlations in stock markets, to work with faces (2-simplex) or any k-dim simplex in TDA. …”

Asymmetric sandwiched nanofibrillated cellulose composites prepared by one-pot vacuum filtration for ultrahigh electromagnetic interference shielding by Wenjing Qi, Lingjun Zeng, Bai Xue, Changmei Wu, Xiaoping Mai, Lan Xie, Qiang Zheng

“…In the real EMI shielding application test, composite films are confirmed to block signal transmission and switch off the toy car system. Such simple and high-efficiency asymmetric sandwich structure design makes a great progress towards preparing and adjusting thin EMI shielding composite films for the promising application prospects in advanced electronics and communication technology.…”

The Ultraviolet C ii Lines as a Diagnostic of κ-distributed Electrons in Planetary Nebulae by Zheng-Wei Yao, Yong Zhang

“…However, the κ -distributed electrons are unlikely to exist throughout the whole nebulae. A toy model shows that if just about 1%–5% of the free electrons in a PN had a κ EED as small as κ = 3, it would be sufficient to account for the observations.…”
