SCALE ABBREVIATION WITH RECURSIVE FEATURE ELIMINATION AND GENETIC ALGORITHMS: AN ILLUSTRATION WITH THE TEST EMOTIONS QUESTIONNAIRE

Scale Abbreviation with Recursive Feature Elimination and Genetic Algorithms: An Illustration with the Test Emotions Questionnaire

Psychological scales play a key role in the assessment, screening, and diagnosis of latent variables, such as emotions, mental health, and well-being.In practice, researchers need shorter scales of psychological traits to save administration time and cost.Thus, a variety of optimization algorithms have been proposed to abbreviate lengthy psychologi

Entangled states of two quantum dots mediated by Majorana fermions

With the assistance of a pair of Majorana fermions, we propose schemes to entangle two quantum dots by Lyapunov control in the charge and spin degrees of freedom.Four different schemes are considered, i.e., the teleportation scheme, the crossed Andreev reflection scheme, the intradot spin flip scheme, and the scheme beyond the intradot spin flip.We
