The concentralized distribution logistics in cruise-building imported materials (CDL-CIMs) constitute a complex process that requires a high degree of coordination between the multi-link and multi-participator. Delayed delivery, materials damaged, an...
The properties of most systems composed of many interacting elements are neither determined by the topology of the interaction network alone, nor by the dynamical laws in isolation. Rather, they are the outcome of the interplay between topology and d...
Estimating outstanding claims reserves in the non-life insurance business is often impaired by outlier-contaminated datasets. Widely used methods to eliminate outliers in non-life development triangles are either limiting the number of outliers by ro...
This paper proposes a model for the claim occurrence, reporting, and handling process of insurance companies. It is assumed that insurance claims occur according to a Markovian arrival process. An incurred claim goes through some stages of a claim re...
Rice yield and quality decline due to excessive fertiliser use is problematic in China. To increase rice grain filling and improve rice yield and quality, a nitrogen reduction and density increase study in 2023 and 2024 was imposed on a long-term exp...
The paper deals with the issue of obtaining iron-sulfur-containing binders through their mechanochemical treatment using mutual neutralization and detoxification structure formation, and the curing stage of arbolite concrete composites based on indus...
We present a study based on first-principles calculations of the vibrational and spectroscopic properties of four types of layered boron nitride (BN) polymorphs: e-BN (AA), h-BN (AA′), r-BN (ABC), and b-BN (AB). By using density functional pert...
Lodging has a negative effect on rice production and leads to a great loss in yield and quality. It is necessary to clarify the effects of straw return measures coupled with rice-duck co-culture on lodging and to explore a measure that can improve lo...
Biomolecular network dynamics are thought to operate near the critical boundary between ordered and disordered regimes, where large perturbations to a small set of elements neither die out nor spread on average. A biomolecular automaton (e.g., gene,...
The application of biochar can affect soil properties and retention of fertilizer nitrogen, but its effects and mechanism on the retention capacity of different forms of nitrogen in soils are still uncertain. In this study, an indoor soil column leac...
The goal of this paper is to develop regression models and postulate distributions which can be used in practice to describe the joint development process of individual claim payments and claim incurred. We apply neural networks to estimate our regre...
There are several formalisms that enhance Bayesian networks by including relations amongst individuals as modeling primitives. For instance, Probabilistic Relational Models (PRMs) use diagrams and relational databases to represent repetitive Bayesian...
Random Boolean Networks (RBNs for short) are strongly simplified models of gene regulatory networks (GRNs), which have also been widely studied as abstract models of complex systems and have been used to simulate different phenomena. We define the &l...
Often the debates in philosophy of religion are quite disconnected from the empirical data gathered in the sociology of religion. This is especially the case regarding the recent increase in prominence of those identifying as “spiritual but not relig...
Based on the statistical stability of the inter-system bias (ISB), we propose a tightly coupled Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) positioning method by using ionosphere-free combination for the long baseline applications. The pr...
Urban street crime (USC) hotspots severely affect the residential and business neighborhood (RBN) areas of any urban center. This study analyzes USC hotspots and identifies the associated risk factors of becoming a USC hotspot in the residential and...
Cloud-native architectures continue to redefine application development and deployment by offering enhanced scalability, performance, and resource efficiency. However, they present significant security challenges, particularly in securing inter-conta...
Three Streptococcus thermophilus strains, namely RBC6, RBC20, and RBN16, were proven to release bioactive peptides during whey protein concentrate (WPC) fermentation, resulting in WPC hydrolysates with biological activities. However, these bioactive...
With population increases and a vital need for energy, energy systems play an important and decisive role in all of the sectors of society. To accelerate the process and improve the methods of responding to this increase in energy demand, the use of...
As a pillar grain crop in China’s agriculture, the yield and quality of corn are directly related to food security and the stable development of the agricultural economy. Corn varieties from different regions have significant differences inblad...
The Late Paleozoic granitoids widely distributed in the central section of the East Kunlun Orogenic Belt (EKOB) are responsible for the constraints on its post-collisional extensional processes. We report the whole-rock geochemical compositions, zirc...
