Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Identity based authentication protocol for wireless sensor networks
In this work, a novel identity based authentication protocol for sensor networks is proposed, involving bilinear pairings over an elliptic curve point group, and message authentication codes, as main underlying components.

An iterated greedy‐based metaheuristic with local search for the rank pricing problem
Abstract The rank pricing problem involves determining optimal prices for a set of products while accounting for customers' budgets and preferences. This study develops an iterated greedy‐based metaheuristic to efficiently solve this problem. The core idea is to generate a sequence of solutions by iteratively applying destruction and reconstruction ...

ABSTRACT We use banks’ quarterly fair value disclosures to perform the first short‐window event study of fair value adjustments excluded from net income and offer three main results. First, we find that fair value adjustments for banks’ loan portfolios are positively associated with short‐window stock returns and that they impact investors’ response to

Degree theory for 4‐dimensional asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons
Abstract We develop a new degree theory for 4‐dimensional, asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons. Our theory implies the existence of gradient expanding solitons that are asymptotic to any given cone over S3$S^3$ with non‐negative scalar curvature. We also obtain a similar existence result for cones whose link is diffeomorphic to S3/Γ$S^3/\

ABSTRACT In this article, we propose a novel numerical framework for the non‐isothermal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes two‐phase flow system, which couples the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, the Cahn–Hilliard phase‐field equation, and the heat transport equation to capture temperature‐dependent two‐phase flow dynamics.

Why Is the Peak Group Analysis So Effective for IR Spectra Analysis?
ABSTRACT Peak group analysis (PGA), an MCR algorithm, has proven to be very successful in extracting pure component spectra and concentration profiles from IR and Raman spectral data when investigating carbonylation reactions with transition metal catalysts.
