Global stellarator coil optimization with quadratic constraints and objectives by Lanke Fu, Elizabeth J. Paul, Alan A. Kaptanoglu, Amitava Bhattacharjee

“…Integrating it in the equilibrium optimization stage can potentially exclude equilibria with difficult-to-design coils, without significantly increasing the computation time per iteration. QUADCOIL finds the exact, global minimum in a large parameter space when possible, and otherwise finds a well-performing approximate global minimum. …”

A Parametric Study of Performance of Two Solar Wind Velocity Forecasting Models During 2006–2011 by Sandeep Kumar, Nandita Srivastava

“…Besides these MHD frameworks, the Heliospheric Upwind eXtrapolation (HUX) technique can extrapolate SW from inner heliospheric boundaries to L1 and can give a reliable estimate of the SW velocity at L1 comparable to MHD models but in a short computational time. We carried out an extensive parametric study of the performance of the Model1 (PFSS+WSA+HUX) and Model2 (PFSS+SCS+WSA+HUX) for SW velocity prediction at L1. …”

Takeover Quality: Assessing the Effects of Time Budget and Traffic Density with the Help of a Trajectory-Planning Method by Fabian Doubek, Erik Loosveld, Riender Happee, Joost de Winter

“…This paper proposes a novel method of quantifying how well the driver executed an automation-to-manual takeover by comparing human behaviour to optimised behaviour as computed using a trajectory planner. A human-in-the-loop study was carried out in a high-fidelity 6-DOF driving simulator with 25 participants. …”

An intelligent spam detection framework using fusion of spammer behavior and linguistic. by Amna Iqbal, Muhammad Younas, Muhammad Kashif Hanif, Muhammad Murad, Rabia Saleem, Muhammad Aater Javed

“…However, in case of a large number of features set, the selection of all features leads to overfitting the model and expensive computation. The problem statement of this research paper revolves around addressing challenges concerning feature selection and evolving spammer behavior and linguistic features, with the goal of devising an efficient model for spam detection. …”

From On-Air Rebelliousness to the Cult of Positivity: Mediated Identities and Technological Change in Pump Up the Volume (1990) and Eighth Grade (2018) by Andrea Sofía Regueira Martín

“…Teenage films have depicted the possibilities and dangers of adolescents using technology since personal computers became commonplace in the 1980s. This paper analyses the representation of the relationship between networked virtual spaces and teenage identities in Pump Up the Volume (Allan Moyle, 1990) and Eighth Grade (Bo Burnham, 2018), two teen films in which the use of technology and virtual spaces as a means for self-expression becomes key in the protagonists’ process of identity formation. …”
