Quantum complexity of time evolution with chaotic Hamiltonians by Vijay Balasubramanian, Matthew DeCross, Arjun Kar, Onkar Parrikar

“…We show numerically that the large-N SYK model (which is chaotic) satisfies ECH and thus has no local obstructions to linear growth of complexity for exponential time, as expected from holographic duality. In contrast, we also study the case with N = 2 fermions (which is integrable) and find short-time linear complexity growth followed by oscillations. …”

Determination of Shape Coefficient in Elastic Modulus Estimation with Penetration Test by Tongbin Zhao, Rui Mao, Kai Fang, Biwen Zhang, Fenghai Yu

“…The test results show that sample size influences the shape coefficient, and with the increase in size, the shape coefficient decreases gradually to a stable value. In contrast, confining pressure has less effect on shape coefficient, and in the moderate and low stresses region, a fixed value can be selected for the test. …”

Exclusion within the inclusion practices of learners with hearing impairment in inclusive schools: A systematic review by Salimini Mbazi, Patrick Ojok, Stackus Okwaput

“…Based on the established research questions, it was revealed that the availability and use of hearing assistive devices like hearing aids and cochlea implants, support services from audiologists and speech therapists, use of total communication, use of teaching aids, provision of extra time when teaching LwHI, the low pace of teaching and use of inclusive instructional and assessment strategies are some of the inclusion practices in inclusive schools. In contrast, negative attitudes towards LwHI, use of exclusive instructional and assessment strategies, rigid curriculum, poor seating arrangement, and inadequate skills in sign language are the critical exclusion practices that hinder the inclusion of LwHI in inclusive schools. …”
