In this paper, we introduce a penalized version of the geometric mean. In analogy with the Mazziotta Pareto Index, this composite indicator is derived as a product between the geometric mean and a penalization term to account for the unbalance among...

Bark beetle outbreaks are responsible for the loss of large areas of forests and in recent years they appear to be increasing in frequency and magnitude as a result of climate change. The aim of this study is to develop a new standardized methodology...

The subject of our study is the tendency to reduce the floodplain area of regulated rivers and its impact on the degradation of the socio-environmental systems in the floodplain. The aim of the work is to create a new approach to the analysis and for...

Rectifiers with power factor correction are key devices to supply DC loads from AC sources, guaranteeing a power factor close to one and low total harmonic distortion. Boost-based power factor correction rectifiers are the most widely used topology a...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of temperature-dependent viscosity on the natural convection flow from a vertical permeable circular cone with uniform heat flux. As part of numerical computation, the governing boundary layer equat...

Geometric tortuosity is an essential characteristic to consider when studying a porous medium’s morphology. Knowing the material’s tortuosity allows us to understand and estimate the different diffusion transport properties of the analyze...

Despite the importance of seatbelt use in the reduction of injuries and fatalities, the majority of past studies failed to account for the complex nature of seatbelts on the safety of roadways. The complexity of seatbelt use is especially related to...

The problem of reducing the increasing number of road traffic accidents has become more relevant in recent years. According to the United Nations plan this number has to be halved by 2030. A very effective way to handle it is to apply the machine lea...

Computation is instituting the Best Paper Awards to recognize outstanding papers published in the journal [...]

Water is a basic necessity and one of the most valuable resources for human living. Sadly, large quantities of treated water get lost daily worldwide, especially in developing countries, through leaks in the water distribution network. Wireless senso...

Optimization calculations are currently an actual and in-demand direction of computer-aided design. It allows not only the identification of the future characteristics of an object, but also the implementation of its exact model using a set of variou...

DC microgrids are composed of loads, renewable sources, and storage devices that require control and protection to operate safely. The flyback converter is an alternative to connect paralleled batteries with nominal voltage DC buses; however, until n...

This paper reports the development of a model for continuous simulation of the power flow into AC–DC hybrid microgrids operating for different generation–consumption scenarios. The proposed application was assembled using a multiple-input...

Some clinical studies have indicated activity of ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone, against COVID-19, but a biological mechanism initially proposed for this anti-viral effect is not applicable at physiological concentrations. This in silico investiga...

Bibliometric analysis is the quantitative study of bibliographic material. In this paper, a systematic review of papers, authors, and journals is carried out. This is necessary to determine and set targets to be achieved in further research. The main...

Educational production functions rely mostly on longitudinal data that almost always exhibit missing data. This paper contributes to a number of avenues in the literature on the economics of education and applied statistics by reviewing the theoretic...

In many industries and plants, a stable power supply system with acceptable cost/benefit is essential. This paper investigates the cost-effectiveness of an unreliable retrial system that includes standby generators and experiences the switchover fail...

Several financial instruments have been thoroughly calculated via the price of an underlying asset, which can be regarded as a solution of a stochastic differential equation (SDE), for example the moment swap and its exotic types that encourage inves...

Recent studies have attempted to measure differences in lifestyle quality across the world. This paper contributes to this strand of literature by extending the indicator introduced in Milevsky (2020), i.e., “longevity-risk-adjusted global age&...
