Policing Effects on Black Entrepreneurs’ Financial Performance: The Moderating Impact of Formal and Informal Institutions by Ikenna Uzuegbunam

“…Given the historical role of race in policing in the United States, we expect that the degree of the policing of the Black population in a state will be negatively associated with the financial performance of Black entrepreneurs in the state. The sample for this study is drawn from quarterly police stop data across 14 states from the <i>Stanford Open Policing Project</i>, which is matched with state-level data from the <i>Merchant Maverick</i> ranking of best states for Black entrepreneurs. …”

Extracting of Fault Features for Rotating Machinery of High-speed Train Based on EEMD Energy Entropy-LPP by Chen ZHANG, Tao FANG, Kaiqi YAN

“…By combining EEMD, energy entropy and LPP, the vibration signal was subjected to EEMD adaptive decomposition, and the energy entropy of the high-frequency IMF component was calculated to obtain a high-dimensional feature vector set to complete the preliminary feature extraction; then the high-dimensional feature vector was converted by the LPP algorithm set projection to low-dimensional space to further extract features to form a low-dimensional sample set, which reduced the complexity of feature data while preserving the local geometric information of fault features, while improved the classification performance of fault pattern recognition; finally, the low-dimensional sample set was input to the KNN classifier for fault recognition. …”

Rau, Tomomi Sunayama, Sunao Sugiyama, Masahiro Takada

“…We use semi-analytical injection simulations to derive the selection function and the mass--observable relation of our sample. These results take into account complicated uncertainties associated with weak-lensing measurements, such as the non-uniform survey depth and the complex survey geometry, projection effects from uncorrelated large-scale structures, and the intrinsic alignment of source galaxies. …”
