We present a new phenomenological model of human ventricular epicardial cells and we test its reentry dynamics. The model is derived from the Rogers-McCulloch formulation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations and represents the total ionic current divided into three contributions corresponding to the excitatory, recovery and transient outward currents. Our model reproduces the main characteristics of human epicardial tissue, including action potential amplitude and morphology, upstroke velocity, and action potential duration and conduction velocity restitution curves. The reentry dynamics is stable, and the dominant period is about 270 ms, which is comparable to clinical values. The proposed model is the first phenomenological model able to accurately resemble human experimental data by using only 3 state variables and 17 parameters. Indeed, it is more computationally efficient than existing models (i.e., almost two times faster than the minimal ventricular model). Beyond the computational efficiency, the low number of parameters facilitates the process of fitting the model to the experimental data.

The combined density functional theory and multireference configuration interaction (DFT/MRCI) method is a semiempirical electronic structure approach that is both computationally efficient and has predictive accuracy for the calculation of electronic excited states and for the simulation of electronic spectroscopies. However, given that the reference space is generated via a selected-CI procedure, a challenge arises in the construction of smooth potential energy surfaces. To address this issue, we treat the local discontinuities that arise as noise within the Gaussian progress regression framework and learn the surfaces by explicitly incorporating and optimizing a white-noise kernel.

We propose a generic, modular framework to optimize the placement of point-in-space continuous monitoring system sensors on oil and gas sites aiming to maximize the methane emission detection efficiency. Our proposed framework substantially expands the problem scale compared to previous related studies and can be adapted for different objectives in sensor placement. This optimization framework is comprised of five steps: (1) simulate emission scenarios using site-specific wind and emission information; (2) set possible sensor locations under consideration of the site layout and any site-specific constraints; (3) simulate methane concentrations for each pair of emission scenario and possible sensor location; (4) determine emissions detection based on the site-specific simulated concentrations; and (5) select the best subset of sensor locations, under a given number of sensors to place, using genetic algorithms combined with Pareto optimization.

Over the past decades, various methods have been proposed to estimate daily milk yields from partial yields. Many of these methods divide milking interval time into varied classes, assuming that the yield correction factors are constant within classes but vary between classes. The DeLorenzo and Wiggans (D-W) method has been widely used in the United States, typically following a 2-step process.

Nanophotonic devices control and manipulate light at the nanometer scale. Applications include biological imaging, integrated photonic circuits, and metamaterials. The design of these devices requires the accurate modeling of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale and the optimization of multiple design parameters, both of which can be computationally demanding and time intensive.

While finite differences provide an intuitive way to approximate derivatives, algorithmic differentiation is a technique to evaluate them exactly. However, applying algorithmic differentiation to a ray tracing routine for optical systems with many parameters is computationally expensive, where the main costs are caused by the determination of the ray-surface intersection.
