Novel fractional integral inequalities for GA-Cr-convex functions and connections with information systems

Due to applicability of mathematical inequalities in control systems, actuarial science, information theory and its utilization in other sciences, several researchers are inclined to prove their refinements and generalizations. In the study...

Empirical study on optimal reinsurance for crop insurance in China from an insurer's perspective

This study investigates the optimal reinsurance for crop insurance in China in an insurer's perspective using the data from Inner Mongolia, Jilin, and Liaoning, China. On the basis of the loss ratio distributions modeled by AnHua Crop Risk ...

Seemingly unrelated time series model for forecasting the peak and short-term electricity demand: Evidence from the Kalman filtered Monte Carlo method

In this extant paper, a multivariate time series model using the seemingly unrelated times series equation (SUTSE) framework is proposed to forecast the peak and short-term electricity demand using time series data from February 2, 2014, to...

Lie Symmetry Analysis of C1m,a,b Partial Differential Equations

In this article, we discussed the Lie symmetry analysis of C1m,a,b fractional and integer order differential equations. The symmetry algebra of both differential equations is obtained and utilized to find the similarity reductions, invarian...

Research on the Quality Variation Patterns During the Fermentation Process of Coffee-Grounds Craft Beer

To investigate the metabolic differences and mechanisms during the fermentation process of coffee-grounds craft beer, HS-SPME-GC/MS untargeted metabolomics technology was used to study the metabolic differences during the fermentation proce...

Predicting the distribution and habitat suitability of the smooth-coated otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) in lowland Nepal

Ever increasing anthropogenic pressures and natural threats to freshwater ecosystems are impacting global biodiversity. Otters are an indicator species that have an important role in maintaining the integrity and stability of wetland ecosys...

Estimated pulse wave velocity and progression to advanced cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic syndrome: a population-based longitudinal study with supportive external cross-sectional evidence

BackgroundCardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) syndrome captures the interconnected burden of metabolic risk factors, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. Evidence remains limited regarding simple and clinically accessible m...

Effects of supplementing sweet sorghum with grapeseeds on carcass parameters, and meat quality, amino acid, and fatty acid composition of lambs

Objective Sweet sorghum is an important forage crop for ruminants, especially in low rainfall areas. Grapeseeds are an abundant by-product of wine-making and contain bioactive substances that can improve the antioxidant capacity of meat. We...

A new species of the genus Acanthosaura (Squamata, Agamidae) from Yunnan, China, with comments on its conservation status

A new species of Acanthosaura from Yunnan, China, is described based on morphological and genetic data. The new species can be separated from all other species of the genus by having a different shape of the black eye patch, a different col...

Midget cave spiders (Araneae, Leptonetidae) from Jiangxi and Fujian Province, China

Eleven leptonetid species belonging to four genera collected in Jiangxi and Fujian Provinces, China are presented. Ten new species of midget cave spiders from southern China are diagnosed, described, and illustrated: Leptonetela dawu Yao &a...

Fluid-Solid Interaction Analysis of a Flow Passing Cylinder Based on Variational Mode Decomposition

The fluid-structure interaction problem of cylindrical flow around the cylinder is a classic problem, especially in many fields such as energy engineering, fluid dynamics, engineering structure, energy utilization and development, and envir...

Risks of snow drought and impacts on streamflow in Tajikistan

Tajikistan, a mountainous country and a vital water tower for Central Asia, is becoming increasingly vulnerable to snow drought under climate change, threatening its snow- and glacier-fed streamflow. Yet, the impacts of snow drought on the ...

Optimizing runoff prediction in plains river network areas: a hybrid XAJ-BP modelling framework with basin structure division

The plain water network area is characterized by its flat terrain and a dense crisscrossing of rivers. The runoff process in this region is significantly influenced by human activities, resulting in a complex relationship between water stor...
