Over the past ninety years, humanity has explored various fusion technologies, yet only a select few have managed to generate a thermal fusion plasma with electron temperatures surpassing 10M C. Zap Energy's innovative approach, known as a sheared-flow-stabilized Z pinch, has now successfully exceeded this plasma temperature milestone in a remarkably compact device.

The issue of class imbalance has been well-studied in the multi-class classification framework, but its exploration within multi-dimensional classification (MDC) has been somewhat overlooked due to the complexity of the imbalance shift phenomenon. This occurs when a sample is categorized as belonging to both a minor and a major class, depending on the labeling dimension.

Every part of a launch vehicle, launch pad, and ground operation equipment is subjected to the high acoustic load generated during lift-off. Therefore, many extreme measures are taken to try to suppress this acoustic environment by damping with a water deluge system and diverting engine plumes away from the vehicle via flame trenches.
