Abstract Background Malaria remains a major public health challenge in Benin, particularly among children under five years of age. Despite the wide deployment of vector control measures the disease burden remains high. B...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop and assess a deterministic mathematical model for predicting the impacts of varying sow replacement rates on the performance of farms producing weaned piglets. Initially, the influenc...

The interest in aerosol contamination of aircraft passenger cabins has increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mathematical models have been developed to help describe how an aerosol behaves in a closed space...

Abstract With the increasing demand to reduce emissions and save energy, hydraulic reservoirs require new architecture to optimize their weight, space, and volume. Conventional open reservoirs are large, heavy, and easil...

Background: Students’ prior mathematical knowledge plays a critical role in their success in university mathematics, yet it is often treated diagnostically rather than instructionally. Aim: This study examines studen...

Abstract Background Efforts to develop an HIV “cure” (i.e., an intervention leading to durable ART-free remission or eradication of HIV infection) have become better resourced and coordinated in recent years. Given, ...

Abstract In this study, a new three-parameter Lomax distribution is proposed using the beta transformation technique. The new distribution is named Beta Transformed Lomax distribution. Some mathematical properties of the...

The paper presents a methodology and an example of determining the floor response spectrum of nuclear power plant building structures under earthquake loads. When critical energy infrastructure facilities are consider...

Products often operate in dynamic environments, and field failure data is frequently heavily censored, posing significant challenges in the assessment of product reliability. To enhance the accuracy of field reliability ...

Background: The transition from arithmetic to algebra remains a persistent challenge in early mathematics education. While structural awareness is widely recognised as foundational to this shift, the developmental mecha...

Background: Cancer stem cells are important for the development of many solid tumors. These cells receive promoting and inhibitory signals that depend on the nature of their environment (their niche) and determine cell d...

This paper presents an innovative parallel computational methodology employing adaptive fractional differential operators to address Monkeypox epidemiological modeling challenges. The complex dynamics of such models ofte...

Emerging marine infectious diseases pose a substantial threat to marine ecosystems and the conservation of their biodiversity. Compartmental models of epidemic transmission in marine sessile organisms, available only rec...

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to statistically evaluate the performance of the PHYGROW model in simulating the growth of corn and sorghum plants in different locations in the semi-arid region of Ceará State, Brazi...

The relevance of this study is driven by the rapid digitalisation of payment systems and the growing exposure of the financial system to cyber, operational, and AML/CFT-related risks, intensified by the expansion of non-...

Problem. The reliability of detachable electrical contact connections is significantly reduced due to an increase in transition electrical resistance caused by thermomechanical deformations, oxidation of contact surfaces...

It is well known that the lithium secondary battery (LiSB) is the most promising power source for electric vehicle (EV), the further development is still needed to assure the life and performance prediction of LiSB. Math...

The article addresses the challenges of modelling the collective intelligence of innovation-integrated enterprises in the context of digital transformation. An overview of mathematical models used to describe collective ...

Improving students’ mathematical wellbeing is important because it supports their positive feelings toward mathematics and contributes to better learning outcomes. However, limited research has explored which factors i...

Prediction invariance of causal models under heterogeneous settings has been exploited by a number of recent methods for causal discovery, typically focussing on recovering the causal parents of a target variable of inte...

Vertex and edge operations are very popular tools in studying several properties of graphs, as they help us to calculate complex statements by means of easier or well-known ones. Deletion is probably the most important g...

Inverse rising factorial moments [Formula: see text] are fundamental quantities for positive integer-valued random variables, with broad applications in probability and combinatorics. Despite their importance, there is a...
