Long term surface deformation of Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat from GPS geodesy : inferences from simple elastic inverse models by Herd, Richard A., Strutt, Michael H., Ryan, Graham., Widiwijayanti, Christina., Voight, Barry., Mattioli, Glen.

“…The average best-fitting single Mogi model yields X = 0.3 ± 0.5 km, Y = 0.8 ± 0.4 km, and a depth of Z = 10.4 ± 2.1 km (1-σ, Z positive down), relative to the center of the model domain. The mean Mogi depth for effusive (deflation) versus repose (inflation) is different and significant at >90% confidence, yielding Z = 11.4 ± 2.0 km and 9.3 ± 1.6 km, respectively. …”

The Search for High-Frequency Gravitational Waves with a Modified Axion Detector by Pappas, Kaliroë Mabelle West

“…These higher frequencies may indicate signs of in-spiraling primordial black holes, or other beyond the standard model phenomena. With careful calibration used to distinguish between the two signals, we introduce the first simultaneous search for both axions and gravitational waves using a lumped-element axion detector. …”

Using insurance to gain more mileage out of CPF funds by Lye, Fook Kong, Tan, Mark Seow Hwa, Tan, Audrey Joo Leng

“…Two other issues were also explored in this paper namely, the current provision of old age needs and medical care under the CPF. The major conclusions arrived are that: (1) The current old age provisions under the Minimum Sum Scheme (MSS) should be supplemented with additional annuities, and, (2) CPF monies should be allowed to purchase private medical insurances to supplement the current medical provisions under the CPF. …”

Why is income inequality necessary for economic growth? If income equality is achieved, will economic growth stagnate? by Tan, Melisa Mei Jin

“…There may not be one best positive impact of income inequality, but a careful thought on the causal and consequences of income inequality will shed light that beyond the negativity, positive impacts of income inequality on economic growth are also worth investigating. …”

Mappings, dimensionality and reversing out of deep neural networks by Cui, Z, Grindrod, P

“…This analysis requires us to estimate the intrinsic dimension of point clouds (with values between 20 and 200) within embedding spaces of dimension 1000 up to 800,000. This needs some care. If the cloud dimension actually increases from one layer to the next it implies there is some &lsquo;volume filling&rsquo;&nbsp;<em>over-folding</em>, and thus there exist possible small directional perturbations in the latter space that are equivalent to shifting large distances within the former space, thus inviting possibility of universal and imperceptible attacks.…”

Practical and analytical considerations when performing interim analyses in diagnostic test accuracy studies by Fleming, S, Mwandigha, L, Fanshawe, T
