Induction Motor Parameter Identification Using a Gravitational Search Algorithm

The efficient use of electrical energy is a topic that has attracted attention for its environmental consequences. On the other hand, induction motors represent the main component in most industries. They consume the highest energy percenta...

The Mathematics of Diffusion

Diffusion has been used extensively in many scientific disciplines to model a wide variety of phenomena. The Mathematics of Diffusion focuses on the qualitative properties of solutions to nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations and syste...

A conceptual model of mathematical reasoning for school mathematics

Existence results and Ulam-Hyers stability for a sequential deformable fractional initial value problem

Abstract In this study, we establish existence and Ulam-Hyers results for nonlinear sequential fractional differential equations involving the deformable derivative. We employ the Banach contraction principle and Krasnoselskii’s theorem to ...

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...

Application of a Novel Multi-Agent Optimization Algorithm Based on PID Controllers in Stochastic Control Problems

The article considers the problem of finding the optimal on average control of the trajectories of continuous stochastic systems with incomplete feedback. This class of problems includes control problems in which the initial states are desc...

Working Memory and Children’s Mathematical Skills: Implications for mathematical development and mathematics curricula

This study examined the contributions of the different components of the working memory (WM) model to a range of mathematical skills in children, using measures of WM function that did not involve numerical stimuli. A sample of 148 children...

An Agent Cascade for Explainable Relevance Assessment of Procurement Procedures in the Tenders Electronic Daily Environment

This paper considers the task of assessing the relevance of a procurement procedure for a supplier under conditions of growing volumes of open procurement data and increasing complexity of electronic publication services. It is shown that, ...

Marketing Resource Allocation Strategy Optimization Based on Dynamic Game Model

Game theory has become an important tool to study the competition between oligopolistic enterprises. After combing the existing literature, it is found that there is no research combining two-stage game and nonlinear dynamics to analyze the...

A game-theoretic sequential three-way decision using probabilistic rough sets and multiple levels of granularity

Abstract The sequential three-way decision accepts additional information at each level and makes more accurate definite decisions with less uncertainty. This process can also be extended to two-way classification with the finer-grained inf...

Mass variation observing system by high low inter-satellite links (MOBILE) – a new concept for sustained observation of mass transport from space

As changes in gravity are directly related to mass variability, satellite missions observing the Earth’s time varying gravity field are a unique tool for observing mass transport processes in the Earth system, such as the water cycle, rapid...

Health Technologies: Transforming Scientific Knowledge into Human Health

Health technologies are commonly associated with medical devices, digital health platforms, robotics, and artificial intelligence. However, this perspective captures only the most visible dimension of a much broader concept. This study exam...

Digital prevention of depression for farmers? A qualitative study on participants' experiences regarding determinants of acceptance and satisfaction with a tailored guided internet intervention program

Introduction: Farmers, forest workers and gardeners have a higher risk of developing depression compared to other occupational populations. As part of the German pilot project “With us in balance”, the potential of six guided internet- and ...

Progress and Perspective of CRISPR‐Cas9 Technology in Translational Medicine

Abstract Translational medicine aims to improve human health by exploring potential treatment methods developed during basic scientific research and applying them to the treatment of patients in clinical settings. The advanced perceptions o...

The economics of TAVI: A systematic review

Objective: The scope of this systematic review is to update the existing body of evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, stratified across all risk categories, and to assess their methodological...

Does English proficiency matter? Testing its moderating role in the TAM for AI-enhanced MOOC adoption in vocational education

This study investigates whether English proficiency moderates core Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) pathways in the context of AI-enhanced English MOOCs for vocational students. Drawing on an extended TAM that links Perceived Ease of Use (...

Heat Stress in the World of Work: Canadian Collective Bargaining and Environmental Governance

As climate change accelerates, extreme heat is becoming a critical occupational hazard across Canada. Yet worker protections remain fragmented, reactive, and highly uneven across sectors and provinces. This article offers a socio-legal anal...

An adaptive cruise control system for autonomous vehicles using PRDC–CoROA-based hybrid optimization

Abstract An adaptive cruise control (ACC) system has a key role to play in enhancing the safety and stability of autonomous vehicles, along with ensuring improved ride quality through proper management of vehicle velocity and distance betwe...

HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT IN GREECE

In 1983 a health reform aimed to assure universal coverage and equity in the distribution of services in Greece. The reform implied state responsibility for the financing and delivery of services and a reduction of the private sector. The m...
