An Analysis of the Catastrophe Model and Catastrophe Characteristics of Traffic Flow Based on Cusp Catastrophe Theory by Yanguo Huang, Huimin Zhang, Hongjun Liu, Shengsheng Zhang

“…Through the data analysis, it was found that the traffic flow state had the characteristics of multimode, mutation, inaccessibility, divergence and hysteresis, which were similar to the mutation characteristics of the basic model of catastrophe theory when the system state changed. The cusp catastrophe model of traffic flow based on traffic wave theory was established by analyzing the movement process of traffic flow. …”

Superspace Unitary Operator in Superfield Approach to Non-Abelian Gauge Theory with Dirac Fields by T. Bhanja, D. Shukla, R. P. Malik

“…Within the framework of augmented version of the superfield approach to Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, we derive the superspace unitary operator (and its Hermitian conjugate) in the context of four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) interacting non-Abelian 1-form gauge theory with Dirac fields. The ordinary 4D non-Abelian theory, defined on the flat 4D Minkowski spacetime manifold, is generalized onto a (4, 2)-dimensional supermanifold which is parameterized by the spacetime bosonic coordinates xμ (with μ=0,1,2,3) and a pair of Grassmannian variables (θ,θ-) which satisfy the standard relationships: θ2=θ-2=0 and  θθ-+θ-θ=0. …”

Meaning mindset theory: a transdiagnostic approach to mental health promotion and intervention for children by Laura Lynne Armstrong, Emmalyne Watt, Catherine Laura Potter, Brent L. Epperson

“…There is substantial overlap and comorbidity among various mental health concerns and the onset of one mental illness elevates the risk of others, underscoring the potential limitations of singular-focused mental health education or treatment. Meaning Mindset Theory (MMT) is a transdiagnostic framework developed and evaluated over the past decade in Canada as a promising new approach. …”

Shadows and accretion disk images of charged rotating black hole in modified gravity theory by He-Bin Zheng, Meng-Qi Wu, Guo-Ping Li, Qing-Quan Jiang

“…Abstract In this paper, we study the shadows and images of the accretion disk of Kerr–Newman (KN) black hole (BH) in modified gravity (MOG) theory by using the backward ray-tracing method. And, the influence of spin parameter (a), charge (Q), and MOG parameter ( $$\alpha $$ α ) on the observed features of BHs are carefully addressed. …”
