Based on orbital angular momentum (OAM) properties of Laguerre-Gaussian beams LG(p,ℓ), a robust optical encoding model for efficient data transmission applications is designed. This paper presents an optical encoding model based on an intensity profile generated by a coherent superposition of two OAM-carrying Laguerre-Gaussian modes and a machine learning detection method. In the encoding process, the intensity profile for data encoding is generated based on the selection of and indices, while the decoding process is performed using a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm.

In the last years, a few experiments in the fields of biological and soft matter physics in colloidal suspensions have reported "normal diffusion" with a Laplacian probability distribution in the particle's displacements (i.e., Brownian yet non-Gaussian diffusion).

Based on the behavior of the quantum particles, it is possible to formulate mathematical expressions to develop metaheuristic search optimization algorithms. This paper presents three novel quantum-inspired algorithms, which scenario is a particle swarm that is excited by a Lorentz, Rosen-Morse, and Coulomb-like square root potential fields, respectively. To show the computational efficacy of the proposed optimization techniques, the paper presents a comparative study with the classical particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), and firefly algorithm (FFA).

This article presents a comprehensive study of human physiology to determine the impact of body mass index (BMI) on human gait. The approach followed in this study consists of a mathematical model based on the centre of mass of the human body, the inertia of a person in motion and the human gait speed. Moreover, the study includes the representation of a building using graph theory and emulates the presence of a person inside the building when an emergency takes place.
