Authors: Hasnain Sheikh Shamim , Jasimuddin Sajjad M. , Hasan Rahaman , Kabir Russell 
Published: November 2024

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to explore a few insights into the national airlines of Bangladesh (called Biman) and how they can achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Further, the paper evaluates the available strategies using IEF, EFE, SWOT, IE & QSPM matrices/techniques as proposed by David & David (2017).

Theoretical Framework: IFE (Internal Factor Evaluation) & EFE (External Factor Evaluation (e.g. input stage), SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats) & IE (Internal and External) matrix (e.g. matching stage), and finally QSPM (Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix) (e.g. decision-making stage) are used for strategy formulation.

Method: This study applies a mixed-method approach. Face-to-face interviews with the passengers of London-Dhaka-London are conducted, and additionally, the content analysis of relevant newspapers and journal articles is carried out.

Results and Discussion: QSPM finds, that market development (priority-1), offensive strategy (priority-2), and product development (priority-3) are the appropriate strategies for the airline.It would be not easy to generalize the results as the study is based on one public airline company in a particular country (Bangladesh).

Research Implications: This study has both theoretical and practical implications. The study demonstrates how to formulate plans using a quantitative method. The result of this study might be beneficial to Bangladesh's Civil Aviation Authority. The recommendations of this study may help generate profits in Biman.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the strategy literature. Strategy development processes for any business, including aviation, may be eye-opening.
NMR Phase Error Correction with New Modelling Approaches
Authors: Jiang Aixiang , Gravel Andrée E. , Tse Ethan , Das Sanjoy Kumar , Hanley James , Nadon Robert 
Published: November 2024

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a highly sensitive analytical technique essential for precise molecular identification and quantification. However, accurate results depend on effective pre-processing to correct for various types of errors. Phase error correction, in particular, is crucial for ensuring the reliability of NMR data. Current methods often rely on a single linear model, which may not adequately address all types of phase errors. As a result, this limitation frequently requires manual intervention, making the process both time-consuming and prone to errors. To address these limitations, we propose three modelling approaches for NMR phase error correction: nonlinear shrinkage, multiple models, and a new optimization function called delta absolute net minimization (DANM). Our comparison of seven methods revealed that nonlinear shrinkage outperformed others in both simulated spectra and a diabetes study, followed by multiple models with DANM. Additionally, our spike-in experiments demonstrated that DANM performed quite well in both single and multiple models. Our nonlinear shrinkage approach is a simple yet effective solution. We provide an open-source R package, NMRphasing, available on CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/NMRphasing/) and on GitHub (https://github.com/ajiangsfu/NMRphasing).

La violencia en la denominación; arquitectura sostenible enlazado con las dinámicas de género
Authors: Navarro Bosch Ana , Salvador Lujan Nuria , Barrera Puigdollers Jose Manuel 
Published: November 2024

Una constante de la arquitectura desde la modernidad ha sido el exceso de denominación tomando pautas de la ciencia; un afán clasificatorio que encasilla diversidades o sensibilidades, de muy difícil consignación pues tratan de ordenar parámetros cualitativos como los cuantitativos, tal como relaciona el pensamiento científico. En la historia este mecanicismo ha servido para discriminar entre una pluralidad de resultados con la aspiración de poder entender un problema complejo lleno de matices y sesgos. Sin embargo, recientemente las designaciones han aparecido como adjetivaciones a la arquitectura con interés sígnico. Es decir, en lugar de ordenar una amalgama de resultados, se plantea desde el origen sin haber generado una masa crítica suficiente, con una pretensión discriminatoria previa en una clara pretensión de construir más un orden simbólico que un conocimiento ordenado. Esto ha ocurrido con las adjetivaciones sostenibilidad y género, más preocupadas en generar signos diferenciadores o familias de resultados a los que adscribirse, que la comprensión de una problemática inherente a la arquitectura. Tal inversión -que supone una transgresión-, supone una orientación de partida y como tal constituye precondiciones excluyentes, para abordar conceptos que son inclusivos. Lo cual constituye una violencia. En lo que sigue analizamos tal violencia desde la arquitectura, buscando el secreto que la causa.

Published: November 2024

Introducción. La variación en altitud puede influir en la diversidad y estructura de un bosque. Objetivo. Determinar la diversidad, estructura horizontal y afinidad arbórea de un bosque templado bajo conservación a través de un gradiente altitudinal.
Materiales y métodos. La investigación se realizó en el Santuario de la Cotorra Serrana Occidental en tres intervalos altitudinales: 1) 2307 a 2466 m, 2) 2466 a 2625 m y 3) 2625 a 2785 m. La estructura horizontal se obtuvo mediante el índice de valor de importancia (IVI); se realizó análisis de varianza y prueba de Tukey (p < 0.05) para el índice de diversidad de Shannon-Wiener, equidad de Pielou y riqueza de Margalef. La similitud se determinó con el índice de Morisita-Horn.
Resultados y discusión. Se registraron tres familias, cinco géneros y siete especies; Pinus strobiformis Engelm. tuvo el mayor IVI con valores superiores al 25 %. La familia Pinaceae es la más representativa con tres especies en categoría de riesgo. La abundancia disminuyó conforme la altitud aumentó (p < 0.05). La dominancia mostró tendencia ascendente respecto a la altitud, a diferencia de la equidad y diversidad verdadera; sin embargo, no hubo diferencias significativas entre los intervalos (p > 0.05). La riqueza no mostró comportamiento relacionado con la altitud y la semejanza florística fue alta (75 a 93 %) entre los tres intervalos.
Conclusiones. La dominancia y los índices de diversidad y equidad fueron similares en los tres intervalos. La semejanza florística indica que la variación en altitud puede ocasionar un cambio gradual en la composición.

Abstract: The preservation of cultural identity among refugees, migrants and minority communities poses a serious challenge in the context of increasing global travel. This essay examines several tactics meant to support social cohesiveness and integration within host nations while still protecting cultural identity. This research identifies critical elements that support the effective preservation of cultural heritage by an extensive analysis of the body of existing literature. The study highlights the value of inclusive policies, community-driven projects, and educational programs in promoting a sense of respect and belonging across various communities. It also emphasizes how important intercultural communication and cooperation are to reducing cultural differences and promoting social harmony. This study offers a sound understanding of how cultural integration and preservation can coexist, ultimately leading to more inclusive and cohesive societies, by looking at successful models and potential roadblocks. Policymakers, social workers, educators, and community leaders who are dedicated to promoting social integration and cultural variety in a global community that is becoming more interconnected will find great value in these findings.
Decoupling of δ18O from surface temperature in Antarctica in an ensemble of historical simulations
Authors: Goursaud Oger Sentia , Sime Louise C. , Holloway Max 
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Stable water isotopes recorded in Antarctic ice cores have traditionally been used to infer past surface air temperatures (SATs). During the historical period (1850 onward), observational data and good-quality ice core records overlap, yielding an opportunity to investigate key relationships between ice core stable water isotope (δ18O) measurements and the Antarctic climate. We present a new ensemble of climate model simulations covering 1851–2004 using the UK Met Office HadCM3 general circulation model equipped with stable water isotopes. Our ensemble captures observed historical SAT and precipitation trends and weak δ18O trends. The weak δ18O trends mean there is no significant relationship between SAT and δ18O over one-third of Antarctica, and also half of our considered ice core sites, though relationships are stronger when using regional averages. The strongest regional relationships occur in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) region. This decoupling between SAT and δ18O occurs primarily because of the impact of autumnal sea ice loss during the simulated warming. The warming and sea ice loss are associated with (i) changes in near-coastal air mass intrusions (synoptic effects) induced by changes in the large-scale circulation and/or sea ice; (ii) direct sea-ice-driven changes in moisture pathways (especially lengths) to Antarctica; and (iii) precipitation seasonality changes, again mostly driven by sea ice changes. Consequently, when reconstructing temperatures over these timescales, changes in sea ice need to be considered, both to determine the most appropriate SAT and δ18O relationship and to understand how uncertainties affect the inference of past temperature from ice core δ18O measurements.

Improving Shear Strength and Microstructural Behavior of Black Cotton Soil Treated with Construction Demolished Waste
Authors: Manjushree V.Gaikwad  
Published: November 2024

With its expansive character and low bearing capacity, black cotton soil presents considerable obstacles to construction projects. These challenges can be difficult to overcome. There is a tendency for it to rise and compress in response to variations in the amount of moisture present, and it also has weak strength properties, which makes construction activities more difficult. This study explores the possibility of stabilizing black cotton soil with recycled construction and demolition (C&D) waste in order to address these issues. Various C&D waste materials, like concrete, bricks, mortar, and other debris, are examined for their potential to enhance the shear strength of black cotton soil. The paper assesses the effectiveness of incorporating C&D waste blends ranging from 5% to 25% to mitigate soil swelling and shrinkage with improve shear strength. Previous to determining the soil's shear strength, index properties were assessed. Unconfined compression strength tests (UCS) are carried out on compacted specimens handled with C&D waste blends, with curing periods of 1 day, 7 days, and 28 days at room temperature. A comparison investigation showed that there was a comparable increase in UCS and a decrease in axial strain at failure as the amount of C&D waste in the soil rose. Micro-analyses displayed that the main factors prompting the interacting behavior of soil amended with C&D waste include changes in the gradation, cohesiveness, and the interplay between the particles, the mineralogical makeup, and the elemental, chemical, and microstructural components. The research aims to offer insights into sustainable methods for strengthening the performance of black cotton soil while reducing waste generation in construction activities.
Hybrid DL Models for Improved Accuracy in Diagnosing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Authors: Nikhil Raje  
Published: November 2024

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common respiratory disorder marked by enduring airflow obstruction, leading to considerable illness and death rates. Timely and precise diagnosis is essential for proper management and treatment. In this study, we present a novel hybrid deep learning (DL) model leveraging an Autoencoder-GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) architecture to improve the accuracy of COPD diagnosis. Our approach incorporates a cutting-edge preprocessing method, Adaptive Histogram Equalization with Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE), to enhance the contrast and detail in CXR images, facilitating more precise feature extraction. The proposed Autoencoder-GAN Hybrid Model significantly outperforms traditional models, achieving an impressive accuracy of 98.3%. By enhancing image quality and focusing on key features through CLAHE preprocessing, our model is able to better distinguish between healthy and COPD-affected lungs. We compared the performance of our model with standard DL models, including CNN, SVM and Random Forest Classifiers, demonstrating superior results across various evaluation metrics. This study highlights the potential of advanced DL techniques and innovative preprocessing methods to enhance the accuracy of COPD diagnosis, offering a promising tool for healthcare professionals in the early detection and management of this chronic disease.

This paper delves into the exploration of special numbers stemming from the resolution of Diophantine equations—mathematical challenges centered around identifying integer solutions to specific polynomial equations. Investigating various instances of Diophantine scenarios, we meticulously examine and analyze the special numbers that naturally manifest during the process of solving these equations. We scrutinize the distinctive features and implications of each special number within the framework of Diophantine solutions. The discoveries illuminate the intricate relationships between specific numerical patterns and the underlying algebraic structures inherent in Diophantine equations, presenting avenues for further inquiry and potential applications.
Stability, and Almost Sensitivity of Induced Maps
Authors: Amalraj. P  
Published: November 2024

Suppose that X is a compact Hausdorff space and f : X → X is continuous. We consider the space K(X), the space of all compact subsets of X with Hausdorff metric H. Let f˜: K(X) → K(X) defined by f ̃(K)=f(K) . We discuss some interconnections between the orbit of f ̃ and the orbit of f. By assuming the transitivity of f ̃, we conclude that X contains a cantor set C with (orb(f ̃,C)) ̅ = K(X). That is, orbit of a nowhere dense set is dense in the hyperspace. Along with this we introduce ”almost sensitivity” and ”stability” in K(X). We prove that f is stable in X if and only if f ̃ is stable in K(X). Again we prove that transitive maps are always ’almost sensitive’ in K(X) and hence the base map is ’almost sensitive’ in X.

This study introduces and explores the concept of fuzzy double s-Hausdorff spaces within the field of fuzzy topology. Fuzzy double s-Hausdorff spaces extend the classical Hausdorff condition by incorporating two distinct fuzzy topologies on a single set, allowing for a more nuanced approach to separation where uncertainty and gradation are involved. The research develops formal definitions and characterizations of these spaces, establishing key theorems that outline their properties and behavior.
In this article, a meaning of FDS -T2 remains presented through covering the description of S- T2 introduce by Srivastava [3] and obtain result analogues towards the result of S- T2.
Two-Stage Robust Optimization for Multiple Microgrids with Varying Loads under Uncertainty Conditions
Authors: Vijayalaxmi biradar  
Published: November 2024

The volatility in electricity consumption caused by the growing integration of Electric Vehicles (EV) might significantly impact the reliability of microgrids. Hence, this study aims to decrease the operational expenses of multi-microgrids and enhance the efficiency of solution algorithms for their enhanced electric power distribution. This is achieved by introducing an innovative two-stage robust optimization dispatch system that considers the uncertainties related to loads, renewable energy sources, and electric vehicle consumption. The multi-microgrid layer adjusts the limitations based on the number of EVsadded in real-time and manages various energy units to achieve the minimum operational expenses in the most unfavorable situations. The EVAggregator (EVA) layer ensures minimal power outages and optimal charging operations by regulating charging power while preventing safety breaches. The enhanced uncertainty set is derived from a neural network that undergoes training using a substantial amount of past information, thereby eliminating unrealistic worst-case situations. The suggested method effectively captures the system's features, allowing for the substitution of a considerable amount of past information with system attributeswhen creating the uncertainty set. This approach ensures both high dependability and a substantial decrease in convergence time.
