Amplitude Dependence of Nonlinear Precipitation Blocking of Relativistic Electrons by Large Amplitude EMIC Waves by Jacob Bortnik, Jay M. Albert, Anton Artemyev, Wen Li, Chae‐Woo Jun, Veronika S. Grach, Andrei G. Demekhov

“…Results show that while low‐density EMIC waves cannot precipitate electrons below ∼16 MeV, the high density EMIC waves drive a range of linear and nonlinear behaviors including phase bunching and trapping. In particular, a nonlinear force bunching effect can rapidly advect electrons at low pitch‐angles near the minimum resonant energy to larger pitch angles, effectively blocking precipitation and loss. …”

3D Yang-Mills confining properties from a non-Abelian ensemble perspective by D. R. Junior, L. E. Oxman, G. M. Simões

“…Moreover, after a detailed analysis of the associated field equations, the asymptotic string tension turns out to scale with the quadratic Casimir of the antisymmetric quark representation. These behaviors reproduce those derived from Monte Carlo simulations in SU(N) 3D Yang-Mills theory, which lacked understanding in the framework of confinement as due to percolating magnetic defects.…”

Reliability Model of the Fly-By-Wire System Based on Stochastic Petri Net by Zhong Lu, Zhiwen Zhang, Lu Zhuang, Jia Zhou

“…In the paper, stochastic Petri nets are applied in the reliability modeling and analysis for the fly-by-wire system to represent its dynamic (time-dependent) failure behaviors. Stochastic Petri net-based reliability models are established for all kinds of architectures including series, parallel, m-out-of-n, warm standby, cold standby, and load-sharing architectures, which are commonly used in the fly-by-wire system. …”
