New Insights into Cd²⁺/Fe³⁺ Co-Doped BiOBr for Enhancing the Photocatalysis Efficiency of Dye Decomposition under Visible-Light

Uniform flowerlike microspheres Cd2+/Fe3+ co-doped BiOBr were prepared with the aid of the microwave hydrothermal process. The results indicate that the degradation performance of Bi1−xCdxOBr and Bi1−xFexOBr are 1.31 and 2.05 times that of ...

Changing Movements in a Changing World: Modelling Early Pleistocene and Early Middle Pleistocene Climatic and Ecological Environments and Influences on Hominin Dispersal in Eurasia

In a world of drastic climatic and ecological changes, our knowledge of how the environment influenced hominin behaviour is of the utmost importance. Archaeology plays a key role in this domain, as it is the only discipline that studies emp...

Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning

This is a guide to the practical art of plausible reasoning, this book has relevance in every field of intellectual activity. Professor Polya, a world-famous mathematician from Stanford University, uses mathematics to show how hunches and g...

AMPLITUDE-TIME ANALYSIS OF BIOMECHANICAL PATTERNS OF HUMAN MOTIONS

Biomechanical analysis of motions solves the tasks of efficiency estimation of movement realization, search of technique optimal variants and tactics of motion performance, definition of a degree and reasons of not matching real movement ac...

Optimasi proses penjadwalan mata kuliah menggunakan algoritme genetika dan pencarian tabu

Penjadwalan mata kuliah merupakan permasalahan yang sering terjadi pada perguruan tinggi, di antaranya adalah bentrok waktu mengajar dosen, ruangan dan kelas mahasiswa. Kajian ini mengusulkan optimasi penjadwalan mata kuliah menggunakan alg...

Cooperation-Based Modeling of Sustainable Development: An Approach from Filippov’s Systems

The concept of Sustainable Development has given rise to multiple interpretations. In this article, it is proposed that Sustainable Development should be interpreted as the capacity of territory, community, or landscape to conserve the noti...

Carrier-independent deep optical watermarking algorithm

With the development of multimedia techniques, the demand for copyright protection of digital products has also gradually risen.Digital watermarking is an effective means to protect the copyright of digital products.It is generally made by ...

Decision-Making Methodologies for Reuse of Industrial Assets

When there is a social consensus that industrial assets are in fact heritage elements of cultural interest, their conservation and reuse must be considered with approaches that offer greater guarantees and that prevent their exposure to agg...

IWT and RSA based asymmetric image encryption algorithm

An asymmetric image encryption algorithm based on integer wavelet transformation (IWT) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm is proposed. Firstly, two plain characteristic parameters (PCP) of the plain image are extracted and two random...

DAF-UNet: Deformable U-Net with Atrous-Convolution Feature Pyramid for Retinal Vessel Segmentation

Segmentation of retinal vessels from fundus images is critical for diagnosing diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. However, the inherent challenges posed by the complex geometries of vessels and the highly imbalanced distribution of ...

All Near Neighbor GraphWithout Searching

Given a collection of n objects equipped with a distance function d(·, ·), the Nearest Neighbor Graph (NNG) consists in finding the nearest neighbor of each object in the collection. Without an index the total cost of NNG is quadratic. Usin...

System 2 Thinking in OpenAI’s o1-Preview Model: Near-Perfect Performance on a Mathematics Exam

The processes underlying human cognition are often divided into System 1, which involves fast, intuitive thinking, and System 2, which involves slow, deliberate reasoning. Previously, large language models were criticized for lacking the de...

Exact Solutions of Damped Improved Boussinesq Equations by Extended (G′/G)-Expansion Method

With the help of the auxiliary function method, we solved the improved Boussinesq (IBq) equation with fluid dynamic damping and the modified IBq (IMBq) equation with Stokes damping, and we obtained their three types of travelling wave exact...

Graded weakly 1-absorbing prime ideals

In this paper, we introduce and study graded weakly 1-absorbing prime ideals in graded commutative rings. Let $G$ be a group and $R$ be a $G$-graded commutative ring with a nonzero identity $1\neq0$. A proper graded ideal $P$ of $R$ is call...

Wireless Link-Quality Estimation in Smart Grid Environments

Recently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained great attention from the research community for various smart grid applications, including advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), power outage detection, distribution automation, towers...

Cloud point extraction procedure for preconcentration and determination of lead(II) ions using triton X-100 at room temperature

A Cloud point extraction (CPE) procedure was presented for preconcentration of lead(II) ions, after complexation by 18-crown-6 (18C6) and extraction with Triton X-100 at proposed experimental conditions. After separation of surfact...

Global quantum correlations in finite-size spin chains

We perform an extensive study of the properties of global quantum correlations in finite-size one-dimensional quantum spin models at finite temperature. By adopting a recently proposed measure for global quantum correlations (Rulli and Sara...

The Philosophy of Mathematics

Russell's logical investigations in the foundations of mathematics produced a fund of novel ideas, techniques, and possibilities. His powers of conception and exposition have made the subject an engaging area of study for generations of stu...
