Air distribution to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in the furnace of a boiler with tangential combustion scheme

Relevance. Determined by the importance of analyzing the combustion characteristics and factors affecting the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the furnace chamber of pulverized coal-fired power boiler unit when installing tertiary air n...

Compilation of Apatite Fission-Track Data from the Northeast Atlantic Realm: A Jigsaw Puzzle with Missing Pieces

The northeast (NE) Atlantic is one of the best-studied geological regions in the world, incorporating a wide array of geological phenomena including extensional tectonism, passive margin development, orogenesis, and breakup-related volcanis...

Using a Cellular Automata-Markov Model to Reconstruct Spatial Land-Use Patterns in Zhenlai County, Northeast China

Decadal to centennial land use and land cover change has been consistently singled out as a key element and an important driver of global environmental change, playing an essential role in balancing energy use. Understanding long-term human...

Le risque tsunamique au Maroc : modélisation et évaluation au moyen d'un premier jeu d'indicateurs d'exposition du littoral atlantique

This paper seeks to estimate the exposure of the Atlantic coast of Morocco to tsunami risk. A methodological approach and a first set of tsunami risk indicators are presented. The proposed approach is based upon a coupling of tsunami numeri...

Influence of weather on gobbling activity of male wild turkeys

Abstract Gobbling activity of Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris; hereafter, turkeys) has been widely studied, focusing on drivers of daily variation. Weather variables are widely believed to influence gobbling activity, b...

Topograpaphic controls and future vulnerability of recurrent snowpatches in the Gaspé Peninsula (Québec, Canada)

Snowpatches are sensitive indicators of environmental change in mountain environments because their occurrence reflects interactions among topography, snow redistribution, and climate. Despite their ecological and geomorphological significa...

Assessing the impact of forest structure disturbances on the arboreal movement and energetics of orangutans—An agent-based modeling approach

Agent-based models have been developed and widely employed to assess the impact of disturbances or conservation management on animal habitat use, population development, and viability. However, the direct impacts of canopy disturbance on th...

On mathematical modeling of fractional-order stochastic for tuberculosis transmission dynamics

Tuberculosis remains one of the most dangerous diseases globally and has affected many people in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, a fractional stochastic model of tuberculosis disease was formulated and analyzed. The existence and uniquen...

Internal Decoupling in Nonlinear Process Control

A simple method has been investigated for the total or partial removal of the effect of non-linear process phenomena in multi-variable feedback control systems. The method is based upon computing the control variables which will drive the p...

Mathematical modeling of the COVID-19 pandemic with intervention strategies

Mathematical modeling plays an important role to better understand the disease dynamics and designing strategies to manage quickly spreading infectious diseases in lack of an effective vaccine or specific antivirals. During this period, for...

Solar heat transport analysis of Falkner Skan Casson ternary hybrid nanoparticles over a permeable wedge

Abstract In the modern era, energy has become a vital concern across all sectors, while efficient energy generation remains a significant challenge for scientists and engineers. To overcome this issue, researchers have developed ternary hyb...

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...

Mathematics in Population Biology

"The formulation, analysis, and re-evaluation of mathematical models in population biology has become a valuable source of insight to mathematicians and biologists alike. This book presents an overview and selected sample of these results a...

The Mathematics of Marriage

Divorce rates are at an all-time high. But without a theoretical understanding of the processes related to marital stability and dissolution, it is difficult to design and evaluate new marriage interventions. The Mathematics of Marriage pro...

Understanding older adults’ continuance intention toward smart locks: a socio-technical study based on the Expectation-Confirmation Model of Information Systems and Task-Technology Fit Model

Background As aging populations continue to grow, smart home technologies—such as smart locks—have become increasingly essential to support older adults’ independent living. Long-term use remains a challenge, however, with most studies focu...
