Multi-objective optimization of vibrating particle systems applied to engineering system design
Authors: Andrade Jéssica Cristiane , Lobato Fran Sérgio , Libotte Gustavo Barbosa , Platt Gustavo Mendes
Published: November 2024

The design of systems constitutes one of the most important pillars in engineering, in which it is desired to reduce costs, minimize time and resources, and guarantee the quality, efficiency, and safety of products. In recent decades, numerous population-based algorithms have been employed for this purpose. Among these, we can cite a new heuristic approach, the Vibrating Particles System (VPS) algorithm. This is based on simulating the free vibration of systems with one degree of freedom and viscous damping. The present work aims to extend the VPS to a multi-objective context. The results obtained considering two engineering design problems demonstrate that the proposed methodology was able to obtain good performance in terms of convergence and computational cost.
Dynamics of lithium ions on a silicene anode grown by vapor deposition using Morse and MEAM potentials
Authors: Barboza Alexandre Melhorance , Aliaga Luis César Rodríguez , Faria Daiara Fernandes de , Bastos Ivan Napoleão
Published: November 2024

Silicene, the silicon analogue of graphene, has been theoretically envisioned as a material with great potential applications, especially as an anode in lithium-ion batteries. However, the understanding of its behavior as an anode remains unclear, as research in this area is still in its preliminary phases. Furthermore, existing studies do not account for defects commonly found in silicene layers, which could potentially alter its behavior as an anode. Therefore, this study investigates the dynamics of Li ions on a defective silicene layer using molecular dynamics simulations and two distinct interatomic potentials: Morse and 2NN-MEAM. The results show that with both potentials, Li ions tend to position themselves in the middle of Si rings with six or more elements without significantly deforming the nearby lattice. However, the 2NN-MEAM potential causes severe deformation during Li diffusion on rings with five or less elements, making it impractical to investigate silicene as anode. In contrast, the Morse potential manages to maintain the silicene's structure. Nevertheless, during the insertion of Li ions into the anode’s channel, Si adatoms create barriers to Li diffusion, damaging the silicene structure. These results cast uncertainty upon the feasibility of employing silicene as anode.

The present study addresses the investigation of mesh sensitivity in the free surface (FS) region and the discretization of the time step (Δt) used in the generation of irregular waves through the WaveMIMO methodology. In this study, this methodology treats data that comes from the TOMAWAC spectral model to obtain realistic orbital velocity profiles of wave propagation, which are subsequently imposed as inlet boundary conditions in the wave channel. Therefore, realistic data are considered relating to a point close to Molhes da Barra in Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul. The numerical simulations were carried out in Fluent, a computational fluid dynamics software based on the finite volume method. The volume of fluid multiphase model was used to treat the water-air interface. For the discretization of the FS, four cases were investigated, the first was suggested in the literature, and the other three cases subdivided the region into 4 segments, which presented different discretizations among them. Regarding temporal discretization, 4 different cases were compared, relating the time step to the mean period (Tm) of the sea state considered. The best results were obtained for the combination of 60 mesh elements in FS and Δt = Tm/120.

Authors: Zirbes Everton Rodrigues , Buske Daniela , Leandro Diuliana , Castro Andrea Souza
Published: November 2024

Urban growth in the Pelotas-RS community has intensified in recent years. The number of new subdivisions and housing developments available in the city’s real estate market is a testament to this trend. With this growth, potential problems related to flooding and possible inundation become a cause for concern given the topographical characteristics of the city. One way to monitor this urban expansion is through remote sensing analysis, which provides a wide range of statistical information, including precision and accuracy indices obtained from land use and land cover classification methods. The KAPPA test, for instance, has proven to be very efficient in analyzing areas of impervious surfaces, loss of vegetation cover, etc. These values are important for carrying out urban drainage calculations to determine the dimensioning of rainwater systems. In this case, the study focused on Pelotas. The classification procedure achieved an accuracy of over 90%, which is considered excellent for this type of interpretative analysis.

Authors: Frey Erzsebet
Published: November 2024

Giraffes don’t have horns they have ossicones. Official records do not classify giraffes as trophy animals because they lack true keratin horns. Both males and females have fixed ossicones of fully developed bones that are growing from the frontal plate of the skull, which is covered with epidermal skin. The ossicones sometimes break during fierce bullfighting, but unlike real horns, they do not grow back.

Authors: Moni M  , Balu B  , Sreeraj V  , Raju G
Published: November 2024

This study introduces the Autoregressive Market Model (ARMM) aimed at enhancing the accuracy and predictability of stock returns within the rapidly evolving Indian market, which is attracting increasing global investment interest. Noting the inadequacies of existing models like the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in capturing the complexities of emerging markets, the ARMM incorporates historical return data to forecast future trends more accurately. The model was rigorously tested using daily log returns from a diverse set of 20 companies listed on the NSE 500, spanning from April 2017 to March 2022. The findings demonstrate that the ARMM is highly effective for asset pricing, significantly outperforming traditional models in accuracy and reliability. The robustness of the ARMM is further supported by its freedom from common statistical issues such as autocorrelation, multicollinearity, and heteroskedasticity. The major implication of this study is its potential to influence investment strategies in emerging markets by providing investors with a more precise asset pricing tool. This enhancement in asset pricing accuracy can lead to improved decision-making, potentially fostering greater market stability and efficiency in developing economies.

Wer darf jüdische Identität in Deutschland definieren?
Authors: Mann Itamar , Yona Lihi
Published: November 2024

Der Deutsche Bundestag hat heute eine Resolution verabschiedet, die öffentliche Gelder für Kultur und Wissenschaft an die Antisemitismusdefinition der International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) knüpft. Weithin erforscht wurde das Potenzial der IHRA-Definition, die Meinungsfreiheit der Palästinenser:innen zu beschränken. Doch daneben verdienen auch andere Probleme Aufmerksamkeit: vor allem das Potenzial der Definition, jüdische politische Identität auf eine einzige Version zu reduzieren, die mit dem Staat Israel übereinstimmt. So ermächtigt die Resolution den Staat Israel, über eine Frage zu entscheiden, die in jüdischen Kreisen tatsächlich heiß diskutiert wird.

Published: November 2024

Cholera is a potentially epidemic and life-threatening secretory diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae, it is transmitted through the consumption of contaminated water. Cholera is prevalent in developing countries, characterized by inadequate access to clean water, sanitation and proper hygiene. Various studies have been conducted to evaluate its impact, predict its outbreak, and determine the best response during an epidemic. In conducting those studies, traditional mathematical and statistical models have been utilized, but more recently, artificial intelligence machine learning (ML) models have been used to better understand cholera, and eradicate it. AI models have shown higher accuracy than existing approaches, but there is no consolidated review study, comparing all the approaches used so far in literature.  This is a review of the applications of ML techniques used in predicting, monitoring and preventing cholera epidemic. We analysed all relevant and recent studies that made use of various ML algorithms to address challenges in cholera prediction, diagnosis, transmission, and prevention. The reviewed works included the creation of models for early warning systems using environmental and socioeconomic data; improved diagnosis for more accuracy through the analysis of clinical data and serological markers; enhanced understanding of Vibrio cholerae genomics and evolution; and new approaches to water quality monitoring and cholera detection. ML methods have shown tremendous success in multiple areas, but not without challenges that still plagues further applications. Particularly, data unavailability, high data imbalance and real-time data collection. This review also highlighted areas of further application of ML such as real-time prediction of cholera outbreaks and region-agnostic models.

Background: Childhood obesity is worldwide phenomena causing multiple morbidities. Globally, there will be 254 million obese children by 2030. Children are obese due to nutritional imbalances. The dietary patterns among Saudi children have shifted towards greater intake of sugary drinks and less milk intake. Limited research examined the relationship be-tween children beverage choices and their health. Purpose: This study assessed the pattern of sweetened beverages and milk consumption among school age children and its relationship with obesity. Methods: A cross section descriptive study of 589 children selected by a multi-stage cluster sampling technique from eight schools in Al Ahsa Governorate. Children demo-graphic information, milk and sweetened beverages consumption questionnaires developed by the researches. Children BMI calculated by CDC BMI Calculator. Results: More than third (37.2%) of children are overweight weight and obese. More than half of them consume sweetened/flavored milk (58.57%), majority (88.6%) consume sweetened juices and soft drinks (51.4%). Children also drink coffee (35.7%) and tea (52.5%) on daily bases. Older children who live in a large family with less educated parents and who consume sweetened beverages tend to be overweight and obese. Significant relationship found between children BMI and high consumption of coffee and tea. Conclusion: Children low consumption of healthy milk and overconsumption of sweetened beverage, coffee and tea lead to obesity. Recommendations: Community outreach programs promoting health beverage choice, replacing sweetened beverage with adequate milk conception, can be an effective strategy for maintaining a healthy BMI in school age children.

Istoriografija apie sovietmetį Lietuvoje
Authors: Čepaitienė Rasa
Published: November 2024

Straipsnyje pateikiama sovietinės priklausomybės metams (1940–1941 ir 1944–1990) skirtos lietuvių istoriografijos apžvalga santykyje su svarbiausiomis Vakarų sovietologijos kryptimis. Konstatuojama, kad per daugiau nei 30 nepriklausomybės metų šioje srityje lietuvių istorikams pavyko nemažai nuveikti. Sovietinis laikotarpis jų darbuose analizuojamas įvairiais pjūviais ir aspektais, pradedant nomenklatūros kolektyvinio portreto rekonstrukcija ir baigiant kasdienybe bei viešo / privataus gyvenimo sankirtomis totalitarinės visuomenės sąlygomis. Šie tyrimai ir kai kurių iš jų publikavimo sukelti viešieji debatai taip pat turi įtakos kitoms mokslo populiarinimo sritims, pavyzdžiui, muziejinių parodų rengimui. Daroma išvada, kad sovietmečio istoriografijos srityje atlikti tyrimai netiesiogiai, bet kai kuriais požiūriais reikšmingai sąlygojo tiek oficialiosios istorijos politikos, tiek ir populiarių vaizdinių apie sovietmetį susiformavimą. Tačiau pastaruoju metu pastebimas profesionalių tyrimų atitrūkimas nuo viešojoje erdvėje intensyvėjančių politinių diskusijų apie desovietizacijos poreikį ir tikslus tampa reikšminga kliūtimi gilesnei visuomenės edukacijai apie šį komplikuotą laikotarpį.

Ushbu maqolada tijorat banklarining qimmatli qog'ozlar bozoridagi operatsiyalari bilan bog'liq muammolar va ularni bartaraf etish yo'llarini o'rganishga bag'ishlangan. Banklar o'z moliyaviy portfelini diversifikatsiya qilish, risklarni boshqarish va qo'shimcha daromad olish maqsadida qimmatli qog'ozlar bozorida faoliyat yuritadilar. Biroq, bu jarayonda yuzaga keladigan qator muammolar mavjud: likvidlik yetishmovchiligi, bozor volatilligi, regulyatsion cheklovlar va axborot assimetriyasi kabi omillar bank operatsiyalarining samaradorligini pasaytirishi mumkin. Ushbu muammolarni hal etish uchun zamonaviy risklarni boshqarish usullari, regulyatorlar tomonidan qabul qilingan yangi qoidalar, bozor sharoitlariga moslashish va texnologik yangiliklardan foydalanish imkoniyatlari tahlil qilinadi.

BANK AKTIVLARI VA PASSIVLARI O’RTASIDAGI MUNOSABATNING BANK DAROMADLIGIGA TA’SIRI
Authors: Soatov Farhod
Published: November 2024

Ushbu tadqiqot bank aktivlari va passivlari o'rtasidagi munosabatlarning bank rentabelligiga ta'sirini o'rganadi, moliyaviy natijalarda aktiv-passivlarni samarali boshqarishning muhim rolini ko'rsatadi. Banklar, birinchi navbatda, kreditlar va investitsiyalar kabi aktivlar bo'yicha olingan foizlar hisobidan daromad oladilar, passivlar bo’yicha foizli xarajatlar, shu jumladan depozitlar va qarzlar bo’yicha to’lanadigan foizlar esa ushbu daromad keltiruvchi aktivlarning moliyalashtirish manbalari tannarxini ifodalaydi. Ushbu ikki element o'rtasidagi muvozanat sof foizli daromadni (NII-Net interest income) va sof foizli marjani (NIM-Net interest margin) aniqlaydi, bu ikkalasi ham rentabellikning asosiy ko'rsatkichlari. Foiz stavkalari spredlari, aktivlar sifati, muddatlarning mos kelmasligi va likvidlikni boshqarish kabi omillar bankning rentabelligiga sezilarli ta'sir ko'rsatadi. Yaxshi boshqariladigan aktiv-passiv aralashmasi daromad barqarorligini oshiradi va foiz stavkalarining o'zgarishi va likvidlik cheklovlari bilan bog'liq risklarni kamaytiradi. Aksincha, noto'g'ri boshqaruv marjaning qisqarishiga, xavfning oshishiga va potentsial moliyaviy beqarorlikka olib kelishi mumkin. Aktivlar va passivlar o'rtasidagi o'zaro bog'liqlikni tushunish va optimallashtirish banklar uchun maksimal rentabellikni oshirish, risklarni boshqarish va raqobatbardosh va tartibga solinadigan muhitda uzoq muddatli o'sishni ta'minlash uchun juda muhimdir. Shu nuqtai nazardan, men ushbu maqolamda bank daromadligini oshirishda sof foizli marjaning ahamiyati, hamda O’zbekiston Respublikasi bank tizimi faoliyatida bank ativlari va passivlari boshqarilishi holati va bank tizimi samaradorligiga ta’sirini ochib berishga harakat qildim.
