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. …”

Search for Higgs boson pair production with one associated vector boson 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., Escalante Del Valle, A., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R., Schwarz, D.

“…Constraints are also set on the modifiers of the Higgs boson trilinear self-coupling, kλ, assuming k2V = 1, and vice versa on the coupling of two Higgs bosons with two vector bosons, k2V. …”

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. …”

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. …”
