Nowadays, hydropower plants are being used to compensate for the variable power produced by the new fluctuating renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, and to stabilise the grid. Consequently, hydraulic turbines are forced to work mor...
Pollution of water sources with heavy metals is a pressing environmental issue. To this end, various procedures are being used to remediate water, including sorption. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of humic acids (HAs) and...
The discussion of what matter and mass are has been going on for more than 2500 years. Much has been discovered about mass in various areas, such as relativity theory and modern quantum mechanics. Still, quantum mechanics has not been unified with gr...
This work reviews a range of fundamental theoretical considerations in pore structural characterisation. The pore concept is essential for providing a better understanding of physical processes arising within porous media than purely phenomenological...
In this paper, we study a coupled system of nonlinear proportional fractional differential equations of the Hilfer-type with a new kind of multi-point and integro-multi-strip boundary conditions. Results on the existence and uniqueness of the solutio...
In this study, we present a convergence analysis of a Newton-like midpoint method for solving nonlinear equations in a Banach space setting. The semilocal convergence is analyzed in two different ways. The first one is shown by replacing the existing...
The rising demand for both water and energy has intensified the urgency of addressing the water–energy nexus. Energy is required for water treatment and distribution, and energy production processes require water. The increasing demand for ener...
This article establishes a comparison principle for the nabla fractional difference operator
High-convergence order iterative methods play a major role in scientific, computational and engineering mathematics, as they produce sequences that converge and thereby provide solutions to nonlinear equations. The convergence order is calculated usi...
Iterative methods which have high convergence order are crucial in computational mathematics since the iterates produce sequences converging to the root of a non-linear equation. A plethora of applications in chemistry and physics require the solutio...
Theories on life’s origin generally acknowledge the advantage of a semi-permeable vesicle (protocell) for enhancing the chemical reaction–diffusion processes involved in abiogenesis. However, more and more evidence indicates that the orig...
In this survey, we have included the recent results on Lyapunov-type inequalities for differential equations of fractional order associated with Dirichlet, nonlocal, multi-point, anti-periodic, and discrete boundary conditions. Our results involve a...
This paper addresses the modelling of material behaviour in terms of differential (or rate) equations. To comply with the objectivity principle, recourse is made to invariant fields in the Lagrangian description or to objective time derivatives in th...
There is a fundamental subsets–partitions duality that runs through the exact sciences. In more concrete terms, it is the duality between elements of a subset and the distinctions of a partition. In more abstract terms, it is the reverse-the-ar...
In glass physics, order parameters have long been used in the thermodynamic description of glasses, but their nature is not yet clear. The difficulty is how to find order in disordered systems. This study provides a coherent understanding of the natu...
One of the key applications of the Caputo fractional derivative is that the fractional order of the derivative can be utilized as a parameter to improve the mathematical model by comparing it to real data. To do so, we must first establish that the s...
The dynamic equilibrium between death and regeneration is well established at the cell level. Conversely, no study has investigated the homeostatic control of shape at the whole organism level through processes involving apoptosis. To address this fu...
The present paper includes the local and semilocal convergence analysis of a fourth-order method based on the quadrature formula in Banach spaces. The weaker hypotheses used are based only on the first Fréchet derivative. The new approach provides th...
In this work, we present a new theoretical approach to interpreting and reproducing quantum mechanics using trajectory-guided wavelets. Inspired by the 1925 work of Louis de Broglie, we demonstrate that pulses composed of a difference between a delay...

Using the results of numerical simulations and astrophysical observations (mainly in the WMAP and Planck frequency bands), it is shown that Galactic foreground emission becomes more sensitive to the mean magnetic field with the frequency, resulting i...
In this paper, we study the fault-tolerant metric dimension in graph theory, an important measure against failures in unique vertex identification. The metric dimension of a graph is the smallest number of vertices required to uniquely identify every...
Hyperfine splittings play an important role in quantum information and spintronics applications. They allow for the readout of the spin qubits, while at the same time providing the dominant mechanism for the detrimental spin decoherence. Their exact...
We aim to derive a super-radiance solution of coherent light and sound waves involving water degrees of freedom in the environment of a microtubule. We introduce a Lagrangian density functional of quantum electrodynamics with non-relativistic charged...

A review of results on Hermite–Hadamard (H-H) type inequalities in quantum calculus, associated with a variety of classes of convexities, is presented. In the various classes of convexities this includes classical convex functions, quasi-convex...
Zeolites, both natural and synthetic, are certainly some of the most versatile minerals for their applications. Since the 1940s, they have been used in the chemical industry as catalysts, adsorbents and ion exchanger extensively, and the development...
Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) are statistical models with discrete latent variables (so-called skills) to analyze multiple binary variables (i.e., items). The one-parameter logistic diagnostic classification model (1PLDCM) is a DCM with one...

Does determinism (or even the incompleteness of quantum mechanics) follow from locality and perfect correlations? In a 1964 paper, John Bell gave the first demonstration that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden variables. Since then,...
We study the multiviews of algebraic space curves X from n pin-hole cameras of a real or complex projective space. We assume the pin-hole centers to be known, i.e., we do not reconstruct them. Our tools are algebro-geometric. We give some general the...
This article considers the Dirac field in polar formulation and shows that when torsion is taken in effective approximation the theory has the thermodynamic properties of a van der Waals gas. It is then shown that in the limit of zero chiral angle th...
In the present work, we classify sets of type (4,n) in PG(3,q). We prove that PG(3,q), apart from the planes of PG(3,3), contains only sets of type (4,n) with standard parameters. Thus, somewhat surprisingly, we conclude that there are no sets of typ...
