Genetic Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm-Support Vector Machine for Timely Power Theft Detection by Emmanuel Gbafore, Davies Rene Segera, Cosmas Raymond Mutugi Kiruki

“…Despite the time complexity trade-off, its excellent performance on the unimodal and multimodal benchmark test functions, placing joint best in 7 out of 7 and 5 out of 6, respectively, provides important insights into the model’s capacity to balance exploitation and exploration, improve local search, and avoid becoming stuck in the local optimum. These findings address important metaheuristic optimization gaps highlighting the model’s potential for power theft detection.…”

Theoretical Study of C2H5 + NCO Reaction: Mechanism and Kinetics by Nan-Nan Wu, Shun-li OuYang, Liang Li

“…At high temperatures or low pressures, the reaction channel leading to bimolecular product P2 is dominant and the channel leading to P1 is the secondary, while, at low temperatures and high pressures, the collisional stabilization of the intermediate plays an important role and as a result IM2 becomes the primary product. The present results will enrich our understanding of the chemistry of the NCO radical in combustion processes.…”

Collective coupling of driven multilevel atoms and its effect on four-wave mixing by P. Yanes-Thomas, R. Gutiérrez-Jáuregui, P. Barberis-Blostein, D. Sahagún-Sánchez, R. Jáuregui, A. Kunold

“…Photonic correlation functions are shown to exhibit a transition from a Lorentz-like dependence on the two-photon detuning—with general features that can be obtained in an isolated atom scheme—to a two-peaked distribution when the dipole-dipole interactions become relevant. For weak Rabi frequencies whose value is smaller than the highest collective decay rate, the atoms are trapped inside their ground state as they approach each other. …”
