Acceleration by Stepsize Hedging: Multi-Step Descent and the Silver Stepsize Schedule by Altschuler, Jason, Parrilo, Pablo

“…This leads to a phase transition in the convergence rate: initially super-exponential (acceleration regime), then exponential (saturation regime). The core algorithmic intuition is hedging between individually suboptimal strategiesÐshort steps and long stepsÐsince bad cases for the former are good cases for the latter, and vice versa. …”

BCC metals in extreme environments: modelling the structure and evolution of defects by Gilbert, M

“…We present results from large-scale finite temperature molecular dynamics simulations of screw dislocations under stress and observe the thermally-activated kink-pair formation regime at low stress, which appears to be superseded by a frictional regime at higher stresses. …”

Research on the influence of consumer Perceived Value on the purchase of new energy vehicles by Hu, Xiaofang, Raja Yusof, Raja Nerina, Dato Mansor, Zuraina

Anti-suit injunctions – beyond comity by Dickinson, A

“…It examines, in particular, recent case law extending the reach of the European Union’s prohibition on anti-suit injunctions within the Brussels I regime, and the place of anti-suit injunctions within the framework of the Hague Choice of Court Convention.…”

Optimization of transition maneuvers through aerodynamic vectoring by Maqsood, Adnan., Go, Tiauw Hiong.

“…The aerodynamics of the aircraft in pre- and post-stall regimes are obtained through wind-tunnel tests. The unsteady aerodynamic effects are incorporated in aerodynamic model to cater for rapid changes in the aircraft motion, which is modeled as three degree of freedom longitudinal dynamics. …”

Mean-field approximation for networks with synchrony-driven adaptive coupling by Fennelly, N, Neff, A, Lambiotte, R, Keane, A, Byrne, A

“…We derive a mean-field approximation and assess its accuracy by comparing it to θ-neuron simulations across various stability regimes. The synchrony of the system is quantified using the Kuramoto order parameter. …”

The perils of a dual mandate by Cantore, C, Dhamija, V

“…Our findings indicate that under an inflation-targeting regime, price level determinacy is often the exception than the norm when the central bank pursues a dual mandate. …”

One-shot yield-cost relations in general quantum resource theories by Takagi, Ryuji, Regula, Bartosz, Wilde, Mark M.

“…Although it is well known that the amount of resources that can be asymptotically distilled from a quantum state or channel does not exceed the resource cost needed to produce it, the corresponding relation in the non-asymptotic regime hitherto has not been well understood. Here, we establish a quantitative relation between the one-shot distillable resource yield and dilution cost in terms of transformation errors involved in these processes. …”

Russian Turkestan and the First World War by Morrison, A

“…This was particularly true of its most colonial periphery, the Governor-Generalship of Turkestan, which saw the first major rebellion against the Tsarist regime in the summer of 1916. This article explores the direct links between Turkestan and the front, the conscription of soldiers and labourers from the region and its hosting of tens of thousands of Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war. …”

Consumer privacy in a behavioral world by Cofone, IC, Robertson, AZ

“…We then suggest private law and regulatory solutions to do so in a more effective way than either the current or the now-repealed regime.…”

The nostalgia industry : producing longing and belonging in Singapore by Lim, Jialiang

A computational study of spin glasses and its spin coupling interactions by Wong, Yi Ren

“…These models may be differentiated from one another by the critical temperature and critical exponents measured or calculated from experiments and simulations which give rise to different universality classes in different regimes. We will explore in this thesis the critical phenomena of two separate new SG models − The Spin Glass Cellular Automata (SGCA) model and the Heterogeneous Spin Glass (HSG) model while reviewing other known SG models studied in literature. …”
