DESTRUCTION OF THE LITHOSPHERE: FAULTBLOCK DIVISIBILITY AND ITS TECTONOPHYSICAL REGULARITIES by Semen I. Sherman

“…This large group, including faultblock structures of various ranks and ages, comprises the second level of the scaletime destruction of the lithosphere.The intense evolution of ensembles of faults and blocks of the second scaletime level is facilitated by shortterm activation of faultblock structures of the lithosphere under the influence of strain waves. …”

Evaluation of chemical kinetic models for simulations of hydrogen detonations by comparison with experimental data by Vigneshwaran Sankar, Karl P. Chatelain, Deanna A. Lacoste

“…The opposite trends were observed in cell size distributions (2σ/λ) with satisfactory predictions from Mével 2014’s model (within 25%) and almost no cell size variations (2σ/λ < 0.1) for the other models. By comparing the simultaneous NO- and OH-PLIF imaging, the simulations conducted with FFCM-2’s and Mével 2014’s models qualitatively reproduced the reaction zone structure, while more discrepancies were obtained with Hong 2011’s and Burke 2012’s models. …”

Hierarchical Quantum Architecture Search for Variational Quantum Algorithms by Tong Zhao, Bo Chen, Guanting Wu, Liang Zeng

“…In this paper, we propose a hierarchical quantum architecture search framework based on a two-stage search structure. In the first stage, global exploration of the overall quantum circuit structure is performed, while in the second stage, local optimization of quantum gate selection is carried out. …”

Effect of decision parameter efficiency on target reliability by Andrew Way, Nico de Koker, Celeste Viljoen

“…The factor accounts for the efficiency of the decision parameter, the case-specific cost of safety and parameter variation. The adjustment factor represents a first step towards mapping generic to case-specific target reliability in the ideal of promoting safer and more cost-effective structures.…”

Victimization experiences, internalizing problems and family bonds among adolescents from the UK: multi-group structural equation modeling using an intersectionality-informed appro... by Susanne Birnkammer, Cara L. Booker, Claudia Calvano

“…Using the Understanding Society Youth Panel, multigroup structural equation models were conducted to identify cross-group variation among adolescents aged 10–15 years in the relation between victimization experiences (verbal, physical and cyberbullying, discrimination) and internalizing problems (loneliness, emotional problems, life satisfaction), along with a mediating effect of family bonds (family support, parental communication). …”
