MODELING THE BRAZILIAN TENSILE STRENGTH TEST OF LIGNITE FROM PESTEANA OPENPIT MINE USING THE COMBINED FINITE-DISCRETE ELEMENT METHOD – FDEM by Ionela Cristina MĂCEŞARU, Alexandru Robert CIOCLU, Florin Dumitru POPESCU

“…Tensile strength is defined as the maximum tensile stress the rock can endure until its failure and it is usually lower than compressive and shear resistance. The paper presents the simulation of the indirect Brazilian Tensile Strength (BTS) laboratory test for a lignite sample using Geotechnica Irazu software and the Finite-Discrete Element Method – FDEM.…”

Channel Estimation Optimization Model in Internet of Things Based on MIMO/OFDM with Deep Extended Kalman Filter by Van Tinh Shi, Dong Ren Nhg

“…There are various classical methods for channel estimation such as Least Squares (LS) and Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE). However, due to high computational complexity as well as inaccurate channel estimation and remaining weaknesses such as latency and other quality of service criteria, especially Bit Error Rate (BER), Signal Noise Ratio (SNR), and Maximum to Average Power Ratio (PAPR), this research improves these two methods based on the Deep Extended Kalman filter.…”

Exploring primordial black holes and gravitational waves with R-symmetric GUT Higgs inflation by Nadir Ijaz, Mansoor Ur Rehman

“…We explore the possibility of an ultra-slow-roll phase in a hybrid inflation framework, where the GUT Higgs field primarily takes on the role of the inflaton. The amplification of the scalar power spectrum gives rise to scalar-induced gravitational waves and the generation of primordial black holes. …”

Random fields and up scaling, towards a more predictive probabilistic quantitative hydrogeology by Noetinger, Benoît

“…Up scaling techniques are still required to find and to restrict in a controlled manner the more relevant parameters, allowing to lower the dimension of the parameter space. In the stochastic case, the interaction between the conductivity spatial distribution and the flow pattern can lead to non trivial behaviours that will be discussed. …”
