Electro-gravity entanglement by Moreno Jose C.

“…We present a thought experiment where neutrons are displaced by electric fields above the Schwinger limit, predicting their maximum possible corresponding displacement magnitudes and diminishments in their gravitational masses (with increments elsewhere), estimating an upper bound for the gravitational mass of each of those entangled wave packets allegedly constituting those neutrons. Thus, the realization of the experiment could verify the predictions, but cannot necessarily falsify the model. …”

Parameter Design of Half-Bridge Converter Series Y-Connection Microgrid Grid-Connected Filter Based on Improved PSO-LSSVM by Xinggui Wang, Jinjian Li, Qun Guo, Hailiang Wang, Yingjie Ding

“…In addition, to enhance the convergence speed of PSO-LSSVM, the inertia factor during its parameters’ update is made to adjust adaptively according to the direction of two consecutive parameter changes to constitute an improved PSO-LSSVM. Through simulation and comparative analysis, it is demonstrated that the improved PSO-LSSVM can enhance the convergence speed; the proposed filter parameter design method can effectively reduce the harmonic content in the HCSY-MG grid-connected current and is simpler and more comprehensive than the existing design method.…”
