Quasi-Analytical Least-Squares Generative Adversarial Networks: Further 1-D Results and Extension to Two Data Dimensions by Graham W. Pulford

“…For numerical simulations in the 1-D case, when the functional form of the optimal discriminator (a scaled logistic function) is fixed but its parameters are not matched to the optimal generator and can vary, convergence to the optimal settings does not occur, and, for certain initial settings, severe error propagation results. …”

Analysis of a modified MIMO multi-bounced channel model for narrow street environment by Deng-hong TANG, Jie ZHOU, Gen-fu SHAO, Mei YUAN, Qian-ying FAN

“…To establish scattering models that match realistic street transmission scenarios for more efficient M2M mobile communication systems,existing models mainly focus on single-scattering and double-scattering,while for narrow urban street environment,single-scattering assumption is rather restrictive.To overcome this problem,a modified multi-bounced channel model based on EBSBM was provided,in which the concept of equivalent scattering point is assumed.The multi-bounced propagation paths are considered as an one-bounced ellipse scattering path and characteristics of the model were further analyzed.General formulations of several important parameters such as the probability density function (PDF) of the angle-of-departure(AOD),angle-of-arrival (AOA) and Doppler shift were derived,which were applied to the performance of multiple-input-multiple-output（MIMO）system employing a circular array antenna.Doppler frequency distribution was also taken into account.The results show good agreement with the previously models,which validates the rationality of proposed model.…”

INVERSION OF PARAMETERS FOR COMPOSITE INTERLAYER COHESIVE ZONE MODEL BY USING ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY ALGORITHM by RAO YuWen, LIN RenBang, YANG YanZhi, YAN Gang

“…In this paper,the inversion of CZM parameters is studied,and double-cantilever beam（ DCB） tests are carried out to obtain the load-displacement data at the loading point. Combined with the outputs of the corresponding forward finite element（ FE） model,an objective function is constructed and artificial bee colony（ ABC） algorithm is employed to optimally identify the CZM parameters. …”

Multiboundary wormholes and OPE statistics by Jan de Boer, Diego Liška, Boris Post

“…The nth cyclic non-Gaussian contraction of heavy-heavy-light OPE coefficients follows from crossing symmetry of the thermal n-point function. We derive universal expressions for the cubic and quartic moments and demonstrate that their scaling with the microcanonical entropy agrees with a generalization of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis. …”

ALTERNATIVE HISTORY GENRE IN THE FINE LITERATURE. THE ROLE OF EUROPEAN MYTH IN CRYPTOHISTORICAL WRITING by Antonina V. Anistratenko.

“…These keys are the following: firstly, the story is supposed to completely match the recorded historical and geographical events up until the bifurcation point (in other words, a classic alternative history cannot be based on cryptohistory, hypothesis, fiction, however its background may be folklore or nation mythological heritage or known ancient culture); secondly, the historical figures should play a leading role in the storyline events, especially in the political context; thirdly, the key storyline is expected to relate to the history of a certain human community or civilization on the planet Earth up to the bifurcation point. …”
