This paper reports on the recently launched zbMATH Links API. We discuss its potential based on the initial link partner, the National Institute of Standards and Technology Digital Library of Mathematical Functions. As the API provides machine readable

The IEEE Task Group ay (TGay) has recently defined new physical and medium access control specifications to design the next generation wireless standard in the 60 GHz band, the so-called IEEE 802.11ay. Build upon its 802.11ad predecessor, IEEE 802.11ay

As the complexity and heterogeneity of a system grows, the challenge of specifying, documenting and synthesizing correct, machine readable designs increases dramatically. Separation of the system into manageable parts is needed to support analysis at
This work presents the design of an optimal disturbance rejecting tracking controller based on reinforcement learning. The problem involves finding the optimal control parameters that yield asymptotic output tracking in the presence of unmeasurable

The Intelligent Building Agents Laboratory (IBAL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will be used to experimentally study control strategies within the realm of commercial building air-conditioning systems. A TRNSYS [1] model of
We derive all eighteen Gauss hypergeometric representations for the Ferrers function of the second kind, each with a different argument. They are obtained from the eighteen hypergeometric representations of the associated Legendre function of the second
Equilibrium propagation is a learning framework that marks a step forward in the search for a biologically-plausible implementation of deep learning, and could be implemented efficiently in neuromorphic hardware. Previous applications of this framework to

Challenge 4 of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Additive Manufacturing Modeling Challenge Series asks the participants to predict the grain-average elastic strain tensors of a few specific \textitchallenge grains} during tensile loading, based on

A generative adversarial network (GAN) is an artificial neural network with a distinctive training architecture, designed to create examples that faithfully reproduce a target distribution. GANs have recently had particular success in applications
In this report, high-Reynolds number turbulent flow around an axisymmetric hill is studied using large eddy and unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes simulations and the results are extensively validated against experiment. The boundary-layer thickness
Coarse-grained (CG) models of polymers involve grouping many atoms in an all-atom (AA) representation into single sites to reduce computational effort yet retain the hierarchy of length and time scales inherent to macromolecules. Parameterization of such

X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) is a growing industrial non-destructive testing (NDT) technique for advanced manufacturing industries such as additive manufacturing (AM). Probability of detection (POD) is a critical aspect for qualifying NDT techniques

5G and beyond networks will use, for the first time, the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum for mobile communications. An accurate performance evaluation is fundamental for the design of reliable mmWave networks, with the accuracy depending on the fidelity
We present a new numerical computation platform to simulate a laser-induced photoacoustic generator (LIPAG) model by integrating thermal, elastic, and acoustic multiphysics simulations. Our unique approach implemented a fully-explicit staggered-grid finite
Solar photovoltaics (PV) continues to increase in market share. Policy decisions and the nature of solar markets continue to shift; however, it is likely that the price of solar will continue to decrease in the near term. Given the increasing market and

Polymer crystallization occurs in many plastic manufacturing processes, from injection molding to film blowing. Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is one of the most commonly processed polymers, wherein the type and extent of short chain branching
We obtain antiderivatives and complex integral representations for associated Legendre functions and Ferrers functions (associated Legendre functions on-the-cut) of the first and second kind with degree and order equal to within a sign.

Residential solar photovoltaic (PV) system installations have become more prevalent as the installed cost has decreased over the last 10 years while system performance has improved. As these installations have increased, so too has interest in determining
Live cell imaging uniquely enables the measurement of dynamic events in single cells, but it has not been used often in the study of gene regulatory networks. Network components can be examined in relation to one another by quantitative live cell imaging
Coriolis mass flowmeters are known to be stable, have low uncertainty (± 0.1 %), and are insensitive to fluid properties. This meter type is used for many applications, including as transfer standards for proficiency testing and liquified natural gas (LNG)
HVACSIM+ (HVAC SIMulation PLUS other systems) was introduced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 1985 as a computer simulation tool to simulate building systems. The HVACSIM+ computer program package and manuals have been
A semi-analytical expression is presented for the effective thermal/electrical conductivity of two-dimensional anisotropic host solids, such as phosphorene, containing a regular array of metallic inclusions of arbitrary shape. The expression is derived by

A class of non-linear integro-differential equations characterizing microfluidic measurements is considered. Under reasonable conditions, these non-linear integro-differential equations admit solutions that are convex functions of an interesting flow-rate
