Big Bang in dipole cosmology by A. Allahyari, E. Ebrahimian, R. Mondol, M. M. Sheikh-Jabbari

“…While details of the behavior near the BB depends on w and the other initial conditions, we find that when the shear is negative we have a shear dominated BB singularity, whereas for a positive shear we have a much milder singularity, the whimper singularity (Ellis and King in Commun Math Phys 38:119–156, 1974), at which the tilt blows up while curvature invariants remain finite. We then consider dipole $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM model which besides the shear has two tilt parameters, one for radiation and one for the pressureless matter. …”

Hybrid subQUBO Annealing With a Correction Process for Multi-Day Intermodal Trip Planning by Tatsuya Noguchi, Keisuke Fukada, Siya Bao, Nozomu Togawa

“…Quantum annealers have recently been explored as a powerful tool for solving combinatorial optimization problems by converting the problems into Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO). However, current quantum annealers have a small QUBO input size so that they cannot directly solve large-scale MITPPs. …”

Study on the Full‐Cycle Stress Evolution Law and Reasonable Size of Isolated Coal Pillar by Xiao‐Xiang Wei, Qing‐Long Yun, Jing Wu, Xiao‐He Wang, Yin‐Wei Wang

“…The results show that the vertical stress and maximum principal stress increase correspondingly with the decrease of the protective coal pillar size under both stages, and the minimum value of the minimum principal stress occurs on the 8 m protective coal pillar; The values of the principal stress ratio and the principal stress deflection angle do not differ greatly in the protection of the coal pillar, and the fluctuation of the values is mainly concentrated in the vicinity of the back‐mining roadway; The second invariant of bias stress (J2) is mainly concentrated in the protective coal pillar near the side of the extraction zone, when the size of the protective coal pillar is reduced to 10 m, the J2 on the side of the extraction zone and the J2 on the side of the roadway are connected, and the whole protective coal pillar is under the influence of J2, which is basically the same as the damage pattern of the plastic zone; Based on the formula of limit balance theory to calculate the elastic core width of different sizes of protective coal pillars, and combined with the results of numerical simulation analysis, it finally concluded that the reasonable size of the protective coal pillar of this isolated island working face is 15 m.…”
