New insights into axion freeze-in by Mudit Jain, Angelo Maggi, Wen-Yuan Ai, David J. E. Marsh

“…We then solve the Boltzmann equation for the full axion distribution function. We confirm previous results about the importance of both processes to the effective “relic abundance” (defined as density prior to decay), and provide useful fitting formulae to estimate the freeze-in abundance from the equilibrium interaction rate. …”

The Permissible under Heating Conditions Torque of a Frequency-Controlled Synchronous Motor of Permanent Magnets by B. I. Firago, S. V. Aleksandrovsky

“…In order to get convenient analytical expressions out of the motor heat balance equation, it is necessary to take some justified assumptions; the latter was also implemented in this research. As a result, formulas have been obtained by which the long-term permissible motor torque can be calculated as a function of the relative speed of the rotor at a given ambient temperature. …”
