The PHENIX experiment has measured midrapidity ([FORMULA: SEE TEXT]) transverse momentum spectra ([FORMULA: SEE TEXT]) of electrons as a function of centrality in Au+Au collisions at [FORMULA: SEE TEXT]. Contributions from photon conversions and from light hadron decays, mainly Dalitz decays of pi0 and eta mesons, were removed. The resulting nonphotonic electron spectra are primarily due to the semileptonic decays of hadrons carrying heavy quarks. Nuclear modification factors were determined by comparison to nonphotonic electrons in p+p collisions. A significant suppression of electrons at high pT is observed in central Au+Au collisions, indicating substantial energy loss of heavy quarks.

ν-one-class support vector classification (ν-OCSVC) has garnered significant attention for its remarkable performance in handling single-class classification and anomaly detection. Nonetheless, the model does not yield a unique decision boundary, and potentially compromises learning performance when the training data is contaminated by some outliers or mislabeled observations. This paper presents a novel C-parameter version of bounded one-class support vector classification (C-BOCSVC) to determine a unique decision boundary.

Bathymetric mapping of the coastal area is essential for coastal development and management. However, conventional bathymetric measurement in coastal areas is resource-expensive and under many constraints. Various research have been conducted to improve the efficiency or effectiveness of bathymetric estimations.
