The quality/cosmology tension for a post-inflation QCD axion by Lu, Qianshu, Reece, Matthew, Sun, Zhiquan

“…We study several examples, finding that models that solve the quality problem face cosmological problems, and vice versa. This is not a no-go theorem; nonetheless, we argue that it is much more difficult than generally appreciated to find a viable post-inflation QCD axion model. …”

Chasing the city that cannot stop: Exploring transportation and urban co-development in São Paulo’s history by Borges Costa, Adriano, Zegras, P Christopher, Biderman, Ciro

“…In subsequent decades, up until the mid-1970s, mass transit investments are virtually non-existent and road transportation essentially chases urban expansion, not vice versa. Finally, the last four decades reveal a return to “orderly” patterns of road expansion and urbanization but no evidence of mass transit infrastructure’s effects on urbanization or densification. …”

Market-Based and Policy-Based Conditional Demand Forecaster for Airline Revenue Management by Lu, Yuxuan

“…The estimation of the total market demand allows the forecasting airline to anticipate additional demand when it offers lower fare quotes than its competitors and vice versa; the prediction of a competitor’s policy enables the revision of expected passenger sell-up probabilities to higher fares, conditioned on competitive influences and assumed passenger choice behaviors. …”

Characteristics of scanning curves of two soils by Tami, Denny, Rahardjo, Harianto, Leong, Eng Choon

“…During the transition period, over which the scanning curve moved from the primary drying curve to the primary wetting curve (or vice versa), the path of the scanning curve had a relatively flat slope as compared to the slope of the primary curves, and sometimes it was almost horizontal. …”

1-D settlement characteristics of unsaturated soils by Li, Bing.

“…Compressibility increases with corresponding increase in the degree of saturation (decrease in matric suction), and vice versa. 6. The equation proposed by Widiastuti (2005) yielded good estimation of settlement of unsaturated soils.…”

Ghost factors in Gauss-sum factorization with transmon qubits by Zaw, Lin Htoo, Tan, Paul Yuanzheng, Nguyen, Long Hoang, Budoyo, Rangga P., Park, Kun Hee, Koh, Zhi Yang, Landra, Alessandro, Hufnagel, Christoph, Yap, Yung Szen, Koh, Teck Seng, Dumke, Rainer

“…A challenge in the Gauss sums factorization scheme is the presence of ghost factors - non-factors that behave similarly to actual factors of an integer - which might lead to the misidentification of non-factors as factors or vice versa, especially in the presence of noise. …”

Physics informed neural network-based high-frequency modeling of induction motors by Zhao, Zhenyu, Fan, Fei, Sun, Quqin, Jie, Huamin, Shu, Zhou, Wang, Wensong, See, Kye Yak

“…This symmetry enables the proposed model to be applicable for both star- and delta-connected induction motors without having to recalculate the circuit element values when changing the motor connection from star to delta and vice versa. Motor physics knowledge, namely per-phase impedances, are used in the artificial neural network to obtain the values of the circuit elements. …”

Solder joint testing and failure analysis by Kang, Eng Tat.

“…It was suggested that the fracture could have propagate from the ductile bulk solder to the brittle IMC interface or vice versa. Both the solder bonded joint specimens with and without pre-crack were tested at 2 other different strain rates of 0.001/s and 0.1/s. …”
