Search for long-lived heavy neutrinos in the decays of B mesons produced in proton-proton collisions at √𝑠 = 13 TeV by Hayrapetyan, A., Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Li, A., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R., Schwarz, D.

“…Limits at 95% confidence level on the sum of the squares of the mixing amplitudes between heavy and light neutrinos, |VN|2, and on cτN are obtained in different mixing scenarios for both Majorana and Dirac-like N particles. The most stringent upper limit |VN|2 < 2.0 × 10−5 is obtained at mN = 1.95 GeV for the Majorana case where N mixes exclusively with muon neutrinos. …”

MetRoBERTa: Leveraging Traditional Customer Relationship Management Data to Develop a Transit-Topic-Aware Language Model by Leong, Michael, Abdelhalim, Awad, Ha, Jude, Patterson, Diane, Pincus, Gabriel L, Harris, Anthony B, Eichler, Michael, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Finally, we provide a value proposition of this work demonstrating how the language model, alongside additional text processing tools, can be applied to add structure to open-ended text sources of feedback like Twitter. The framework and results we present provide a pathway for an automated, generalizable approach for ingesting, visualizing, and reporting transit riders' feedback at scale, enabling agencies to better understand and improve customer experience.…”

The cognitive and neural basis of complex decision-making in the primate brain by Ramadan, Mahdi F.

“…In chapter two, I train two monkeys on the task and find that monkeys also adopt a hierarchical and revision strategy to solve the task, like humans. Monkeys were also able to readily generalize their strategy to novel scenarios and made eye-movements that were indicative of simple forms of counterfactual reasoning. …”

Recovery of Herschel-Bulkley Fluid Parameters from Video via Differentiable Simulations by Eastman, John M.

“…Our approach aims to accurately recover physical parameters and achieve high-fidelity 3D reconstructions from single-view videos of fluids, even those with complex rheological behaviors like shear thinning and thickening. In this study, we apply our method to a Herschel-Bulkley fluid, namely ketchup, under two different real-world conditions: a 50mm column collapse and being squeezed from a bottle. …”
