On the Characterization of Phase Noise for the Robust and Resilient PLL-TRNG Design by Ziheng Ma, Bohan Yang, Wenping Zhu, Hanning Wang, Yi Ouyang, Min Zhu, Leibo Liu

“…To address this limitation, we extract key platform-specific parameters of the PLL and develop a new stochastic model tailored for multi-output PLL-TRNGs. For the first time, we reveal the effect of the PLL’s bandwidth on the correlation of sampling points and introduce a method for quantitatively controlling sampling point correlations. …”

Geochemical-process extraction and interpretation using matrix factorization: a framework for verifying effectiveness through forward modeling and inversion analysis by Tatsu Kuwatani, Shotaro Akaho, Shotaro Akaho, Kengo Nakamura, Takeshi Komai

“…Among these methods, ICA combined with log-ratio transformation provided the most accurate separation of independent geochemical processes, particularly under ideal conditions with sufficient samples. To quantitatively validate the extracted basis vectors, we estimated elemental mobility parameters during weathering and compared them with known values in the synthetic dataset, demonstrating the applicability of our approach in quantifying geological processes. …”

COMPLEX GEOLOGICAL–GEOPHYSICAL 3D MODEL OF THE CRUST IN THE SOUTHEASTERN FENNOSCANDIAN SHIELD: NATURE OF DENSITY LAYERING OF THE CRUST AND THE CRUST–MANTLE BOUNDARY by V. N. Glaznev, M. V. Mints, O. M. Muravina, A. B. Raevsky, L. G. Osipenko

“…In this case, the crust–mantle boundary is determined by quantitative proportions of the rocks that underwent eclogitization or escaped this process and by corresponding density and velocity values. (5) High compaction of rocks in the crust under lithostatic loading cannot be explained by «simple» concepts of metamorphism and/or rock compaction, which are based on laboratory studies of rock samples and mathematical simulations; this is an evidence of the existence of additional, quite strong mechanisms providing for reversible changes of the rocks.…”

Modeling of contribution of the Late Cretaceous-Miocene sediments of the Makran accretionary wedge to the petrogenesis of basalts from Makran volcanic arc, SE Iran by Ali Ahmadi, Mostafa Ghomashi, Zahra Firouzkouhi, Marzie Rastay zahedan

“…To evaluate the rate of sediment contribution as a melt (Figure 8) or fluid (Figure 9) in magma generation, two models have been provided in this study. The three end member compositions for calculation of the none-modal batch melting models (Shaw, 1970) are: (1) a near-primary basaltic composition calculated from 15% partial melting of a spinel-lherzolie (MM), (2) average composition of 15% melting of claystone samples (Av.C), and (3) 15% melting of the coastal Makran sample of Jarrard and Lyle (1991). …”

Adult-capture assays as a tool to measure insecticide resistance in Anopheles malaria vectors: a modeling comparison with larval-capture assays by Inga Holmdahl, Inga Holmdahl, Caroline O. Buckee, Caroline O. Buckee, Lauren M. Childs

“…Since age and prior exposure are critically important in determining the likelihood of death during the assay, taking these factors into account is important for assessing the relative utility of the assay. Currently such quantitative assessments are lacking. We developed a discrete-time deterministic model to simulate the mosquito life cycle, including insecticide exposure due to insecticide-treated bed nets. …”
