Nonlocal Quantum Effects in Cosmology by Yurii V. Dumin

“…Since it is commonly believed that the observed large-scale structure of the universe is an imprint of quantum fluctuations existing at the very early stage of its evolution, it is reasonable to pose the question: do the effects of quantum nonlocality, which are well established now by the laboratory studies, manifest themselves also in the early universe? …”

Heterogenous Trip Distance-Based Route Choice Behavior Analysis Using Real-World Large-Scale Taxi Trajectory Data by Yajuan Deng, Meiye Li, Qing Tang, Renjie He, Xianbiao Hu

“…Next, a total of 9 explanatory variables were defined to describe the route choice behavior, and and the path size (PS) logit model was then built, which avoided the invalid assumption of independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) in the commonly seen multinomial logit (MNL) model. The taxi trajectory data from over 11,000 taxicabs in Xi’an, China, with 40 million trajectory records each day were used in the case study. …”

Transmission Characteristic Analysis of Circular Arc Tooth Trace Cylindrical Gear with Considering Eccentricity Error by Dengqiu Ma, Changguo Yan, Xu Zhang, Fangzhou Chen, Zhenhuan Ye, Juan Fu, Xue Wang

“…By using the commercial software Adams， the dynamics simulation model of the circular arc tooth trace cylindrical gear considering eccentricity error is established to study the speed fluctuation characteristics of driven wheel in the circular arc tooth trace cylindrical gear system under three working conditions of driving system， namely， the existence eccentricity of driving wheel， the existence eccentricity of driven wheel and the common eccentricity of driven and driven wheel. The research results show that， under the 3 kinds of eccentric conditions， the speed fluctuation characteristics of driven wheel periodically changes in the circular arc tooth trace cylindrical gear system， and the eccentricity has a certain effect on the speed fluctuation characteristics. …”
