MATLAB is a high-level matrix/array language with control flow statements and functions. MATLAB has several useful toolboxes to solve complex problems in various fields of science, such as ...geophysics. In geophysics, the inversion of 2D DC resistivity imaging data is complex due to its non-linearity, especially for high resistivity contrast regions. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of MATLAB to design, train and test a newly developed artificial neural network in inverting 2D DC resistivity imaging data. We used resilient propagation to train the network. The model used to produce synthetic data is a homogeneous medium of 100
Ω
m resistivity with an embedded anomalous body of 1000
Ω
m. The location of the anomalous body was moved to different positions within the homogeneous model mesh elements. The synthetic data were generated using a finite element forward modeling code by means of the RES2DMOD. The network was trained using 21 datasets and tested on another 16 synthetic datasets, as well as on real field data. In field data acquisition, the cable covers 120
m between the first and the last take-out, with a 3
m
x-spacing. Three different electrode spacings were measured, which gave a dataset of 330 data points. The interpreted result shows that the trained network was able to invert 2D electrical resistivity imaging data obtained by a Wenner–Schlumberger configuration rapidly and accurately.

High-precision HERA data corresponding to a luminosity of around 1 fb−1 have been used in the framework of eeqq contact interactions (CI) to set limits on possible high-energy contributions beyond ...the Standard Model to electron-quark scattering. Measurements of the inclusive deep inelastic cross sections in neutral and charged current ep scattering were considered. The analysis of the ep data has been based on simultaneous fits of parton distribution functions including contributions of CI couplings to ep scattering. Several general CI models and scenarios with heavy leptoquarks were considered. Improvements in the description of the inclusive HERA data were obtained for a few models. Since a statistically significant deviation from the Standard Model cannot be established, limits in the TeV range were set on all models considered.

At large values of x , the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton are poorly constrained and there are considerable variations between different global fits. Data at such high x have ...already been published by the ZEUS Collaboration, but not yet used in PDF extractions. A technique for comparing predictions based on different PDF sets to the observed number of events in the ZEUS data is presented. It is applied to compare predictions from the most commonly used PDFs to published ZEUS data at high Bjorken x . A wide variation is found in the ability of the PDFs to predict the observed results. A scheme for including the ZEUS highx data in future PDF extractions is discussed.

We have obtained the Compton profile of ZnSe from the first principles GW approximation (GWA) method and ground-state density functional theory (DFT) method. We observe that between 0 and 1.5 a.u., ...there is better agreement to previous studies via the GWA difference profile compared to the ground-state difference profile. Above 1.5 a.u., both cases do not agree with the trend of the previous study; however, the application of the GWA is seen to improve the agreement compared to localized density approximation. Previous studies have reported that discrepancies from experiment are related to pseudopotential calculations which have been observed to overestimate momentum density between 0 and 1.5 a.u., while the reverse trend is seen above 1.5 a.u. We thus conclude that improvement to the pseudopotential technique to obtain the Compton profile is possible if the sharp Fermi break of the momentum distribution between high and low momenta becomes more smeared. Using the broadened spectral functions via the contour deformation method to obtain the momentum distributions, the GWA is a natural tool to achieve this via the contribution from the dielectric screening to the quasiparticle energies.

In the tunneling framework of Hawking radiation, charged massive particle’s tunneling in charged nonrotating TeV-scale black hole is investigated. To this end, we consider natural cutoffs as a ...minimal length, a minimal momentum, and a maximal momentum through a generalized uncertainty principle. We focus on the role played by these natural cutoffs on the luminosity of charged nonrotating microblack hole by taking into account the full implications of energy and charge conservation as well as the backscattered radiation.
