Solving combinatorial optimization problems through stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert dynamical systems by Dairong Chen, Andrew D. Kent, Dries Sels, Flaviano Morone

“…Our method considers the physical dynamics of macrospins capable of escaping from local minima, thus facilitating the discovery of high-quality, nearly optimal solutions, as supported by extensive numerical simulations on a prototypical quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem. Our method produces solutions that compare favorably with those obtained using state-of-the-art minimization algorithms (such as simulated annealing) while offering the advantage of being physically realizable by means of arrays of stochastic magnetic tunnel-junction devices.…”

The Boron Solubility in Al-Mg-B Alloys by J. Zeman, A. Herman, J. Šerák

“….%) and the liquidus temperature increases very rapidly with increasing boron content (liquidus temperature approx. 1 160°C at 5 wt.% for Al-B binary alloy). Alloying with magnesium results in the transformation of the intermetallic phases AlB12 and AlB2 to the (Al, Mg)B2 phase and has a significant beneficial effect on the formation of intermetallic boron phases in the aluminium alloy without residual boron powder particles.…”

Two-Layer Hidden Markov Model for Human Activity Recognition in Home Environments by M. Humayun Kabir, M. Robiul Hoque, Keshav Thapa, Sung-Hyun Yang

“…We propose a two-layer HMM to build a ADLs recognition model that can represent the mapping between low-level sensor data and high-level activity based on the binary sensor data. We used embedded sensor with appliances or object to get object used sequence data as well as object name, type, interaction time, and location. …”

Modelling seasonal influenza in Israel by Oren Barnea, Rami Yaari, Guy Katriel, Lewi Stone

“…The paper discusses the difficulties in estimating these important parameters especially when the reporting rate of influenza cases might only be known with limited accuracy, as is generally the case. In such situations invariant parameters such as the percentage of susceptibles infected, and the effective reproductive rate might be preferred, as they do not depend on reporting rate. …”

Integration of Vibro-Acoustography Imaging Modality with the Traditional Mammography by H. Gholam Hosseini, A. Alizad, M. Fatemi

“…A modified second-order polynomial, which simply leads to a scale/rotation/translation invariant registration, was used. The results of registration were used to spatially transform the breast VA images to map with the X-ray mammography with a registration error of less than 1.65 mm. …”
