Unravelling how the human brain structure gives rise to function is a central question in neuroscience and remains partially answered. Recent studies show that the graph Laplacian of the human brain’s structural connectivity (SC) plays a dominant rol...

In this paper we provide new geometric invariants of surjective isometries between unit spheres of Banach spaces. Let X,Y be Banach spaces and let T:SX→SY be a surjective isometry. The most relevant geometric invariants under surjective isometries su...

This study was conducted to investigate the applicability of measuring internet traffic as an input of short-term electricity demand forecasts. We believe our study makes a significant contribution to the literature, especially in short-term load pre...

Osteoporosis is frequent in elderly people, causing bone fractures and lowering their quality of life. The costs incurred by these fractures constitute a problem for public health. Markov chains were used to carry out an incremental cost-utility anal...

This paper examines the impact of hybrid nanoparticles on the stagnation point flow towards a curved surface. Silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles are added into water to form SiO2-Al2O3/water hybrid nanofluid. Both buoyancy-opposing and -...

The progress experienced by society resulting from the ready availability of information through the use of technology highlights the need to develop specific learning related to informational competences (IC) in educational settings where future pro...

Parallel-plate compression of multicellular spheroids (MCSs) is a promising and popular technique to quantify the viscoelastic properties of living tissues. This work presents two different approaches to the simulation of the MCS compression based on...

This work proposes a new algorithm for optimizing hyper-parameters of a machine learning algorithm, RHOASo, based on conditional optimization of concave asymptotic functions. A comparative analysis of the algorithm is presented, giving particular emp...

In this paper, we propose robust optimisation models for the distribution network design problem (DNDP) to deal with uncertainty cases in a collaborative context. The studied network consists of collaborative suppliers who satisfy their customers’ ne...

The Share-a-Ride Problem with Flexible Compartments (SARPFC) is an extension of the Share-a-Ride Problem (SARP) where both passenger and freight transport are serviced by a single taxi network. The aim of SARPFC is to increase profit by introducing f...
