In this paper, we introduce a penalized version of the geometric mean. In analogy with the Mazziotta Pareto Index, this composite indicator is derived as a product between the geometric mean and a penalization term to account for the unbalance among...

Bark beetle outbreaks are responsible for the loss of large areas of forests and in recent years they appear to be increasing in frequency and magnitude as a result of climate change. The aim of this study is to develop a new standardized methodology...

The subject of our study is the tendency to reduce the floodplain area of regulated rivers and its impact on the degradation of the socio-environmental systems in the floodplain. The aim of the work is to create a new approach to the analysis and for...

Rectifiers with power factor correction are key devices to supply DC loads from AC sources, guaranteeing a power factor close to one and low total harmonic distortion. Boost-based power factor correction rectifiers are the most widely used topology a...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of temperature-dependent viscosity on the natural convection flow from a vertical permeable circular cone with uniform heat flux. As part of numerical computation, the governing boundary layer equat...

Geometric tortuosity is an essential characteristic to consider when studying a porous medium’s morphology. Knowing the material’s tortuosity allows us to understand and estimate the different diffusion transport properties of the analyze...

Despite the importance of seatbelt use in the reduction of injuries and fatalities, the majority of past studies failed to account for the complex nature of seatbelts on the safety of roadways. The complexity of seatbelt use is especially related to...

The problem of reducing the increasing number of road traffic accidents has become more relevant in recent years. According to the United Nations plan this number has to be halved by 2030. A very effective way to handle it is to apply the machine lea...

Computation is instituting the Best Paper Awards to recognize outstanding papers published in the journal [...]

Water is a basic necessity and one of the most valuable resources for human living. Sadly, large quantities of treated water get lost daily worldwide, especially in developing countries, through leaks in the water distribution network. Wireless senso...
