The problem of the optimal siting and sizing of fixed-step capacitor banks is studied in this research from the standpoint of convex optimization. This problem is formulated through a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model, in which its bi...

In the current study, we define a hierarchical epidemic model that helps to describe the propagation of a pathogen in a clustered human population. The estimation of a novel coronavirus spreading worldwide leads to the idea of the hierarchical struct...

We consider kinetic energy functionals that depend, beside the usual semilocal quantities (density, gradient, Laplacian of the density), on a generalized Yukawa potential, that is the screened Coulomb potential of the density raised to some power. Th...

Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are a contemporary urban revitalization policy that has been set in motion through international policymaking circuits. They have been presented as a panacea to the economic and social challenges facing many citi...

Electronic structure calculations in the framework of density functional theory are based on complex numerical codes which are used in a multitude of applications. Frequently, existing experimental information is used as a gauge for the reliability o...

Confirming the result of a calculation by a calculation with a different method is often seen as a validity check. However, when the methods considered are all subject to the same (systematic) errors, this practice fails. Using a statistical approach...

Bibliometric methods are relevant for a range of applications and disciplines. The majority of existing scholarship investigating citation and reference patterns focuses on studying research impact. This article presents a new approach to studying th...

Nowadays, a prime technology in generation IV nuclear reactors, the supercritical water reactor (SCWR), is the main object of focus. The current article aims to develop a thermal hydraulic numerical model for predicting density wave oscillation (DWO)...

Electromagnetic field propagation inside composite materials represents a challenge where fiber-scale simulation remains intractable using classical simulation methods. The present work proposes an original 3D simulation with a mesh resolution fine e...

The focus of the present paper is on clustering, namely the problem of finding distinct groups in a dataset so that each group consists of similar observations. We consider the finite mixtures of regression models, given their flexibility in modeling...

Hybrid exchange-correlation functionals provide superior electronic structure and optical properties of semiconductors or insulators as compared to semilocal exchange-correlation potentials due to admixing a portion of the non-local exact exchange po...

The plane–cube intersection problem has been discussed in the literature since 1984 and iterative solutions to it have been used as part of piecewise linear interface construction (PLIC) in computational fluid dynamics simulation codes ever sin...

Rigorous peer-reviews are the basis of high-quality academic publishing [...]

The modulation of intermolecular interactions upon aggregation induces changes in excited state properties of organic molecules that can be detrimental for some optoelectronic applications but can be exploited for others. The time-dependent density f...

Employing first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT), we designed a novel two-dimensional (2D) elemental monolayer allotrope of carbon called hexatetra-carbon. In the hexatetra-carbon structure, each carbon atom bonds with...

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) permits processing information in the form of ciphertexts without decryption. It can ensure the security of information in common technologies used today, such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and machine...

Bolted joints are widely used in composite aircraft structures, for their assembly. The appropriate bolted joint configuration (hole/bolt diameter, pitch, etc.) is carefully selected during the detail design phase, where high fidelity numerical model...

For the inverse problem in physical models, one measures the solution and infers the model parameters using information from the collected data. Oftentimes, these data are inadequate and render the inverse problem ill-posed. We study the ill-posednes...

The UV–visible spectra of a series of subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) characterized by three different axial substituents (A_n) in combination with H, F, NO₂, SO₂H and SO₂CH₃ peripheral substituents (R_i) were predicted and analyzed by means of time-...

The lowest-energy singlet ($S_1$) and triplet ($T_1$) excited states of organic conjugated chromophores are known to be accurately calculated by modern wavefunction and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) methods, with the accuracy of the lat...
