Critical behavior of the n-vector and charged n-vector models from an exact solution to the screening approximation
… with the 1/n expansion results while for small n we explore the nonexistence of a solution in the regime of spatial dimension 2 < d < 4. Corrections to a previous publication are made. By keeping the dual leading corrections to the scaling Green's function we establish the correct …

International comparative analysis of urban water systems
… water systems, so that trends observed in a small number of cases can contribute to a more general understanding of the spectrum of contemporary sustainability challenges faced by cities around the world. The two-part approach first uses a large number of cities (large-n, i.e. n = 142) to …

A GAN-Augmented Machine Learning Framework for Predicting Raman Characteristics in Carbon Nanofiber Synthesis
… phases, synthetic data generation to address small data sets, and the integration of machine learning models to predict the intensity ratio of the D and G peaks in a Raman spectrum (𝐼𝐷 /𝐼𝐺 ), a key indicator of CNF quality. The augmented model achieved 𝑅2 ≃ 0.91, and root mean squared error of …

Poncelet polygons through the lenses of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, finite Blaschke products, and numerical ranges.
… constructions of these families of n-gons for small n for which the inscribed curve is an ellipse. We will also provide algorithms for constructing such families of polygons with prescribed foci for the corresponding ellipse. We will conclude with possible directions for similar progress for …

A study of the robustness of Cox's proportional hazards model used in testing for covariate effects
… We would recommend PH method when sample size is small(n<20) and censoring rate is high(p>0.8). In this case, both PH and AFT analyses may not be suitable for hypothesis testing, but PH analysis is more robust and consistent than AFT analysis. And when sample size is 20 or above and censoring rate …
