Modelling multi-pulse population dynamics from ultrafast spectroscopy. by Luuk J G W van Wilderen, Craig N Lincoln, Jasper J van Thor

“…The modelling of pathways is therefore extended by new theory (which is included in the toolbox) that describes the finite bleach (orientation) effect of single and multiple intense polarised femtosecond pulses on an ensemble of randomly oriented particles in the presence of population decay. For instance, the generally assumed flat-top multimode beam profile is adapted to a more realistic Gaussian shape, exposing the need for several corrections for accurate anisotropy measurements. …”

Prospects of application of artificial neural networks for forecasting of cargo transportation volume in transport systems by D. T. Yakupov, O. N. Rozhko

“…When predicting the ANN, three methods of learning were used: 1) the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm-network training stops when the generalization ceases to improve, which is shown by the increase in the mean square error of the output value; 2) Bayes regularization method - network training is stopped in accordance with the minimization of adaptive weights; 3) the method of scaled conjugate gradients, which is used to find the local extremum of a function on the basis of information about its values and gradient. …”
