Abstract This paper presents a two‐stage model for planning a renewable energy portfolio by balancing economic, social and environmental sustainability goals. The first stage addresses a multi‐objective problem where conflictive impacts generated by the energy portfolios should be optimised according to the corresponding economic, social or ...

A Network‐Based Approach to Understanding Key Signaling Pathways in Intervertebral Disc Biology
A literature‐based signaling network capturing the most relevant pathways in human nucleus pulposus cells was first constructed from curated biological evidence. The network was then translated into a system of ordinary differential equations to derive steady‐state solutions and define median baseline activity levels.

An Asymptotic Expression for the Probability of Ruin within Finite Time
We consider quantities such as the probability that a two-dimensional random walk crosses the ordinate $y$ for the first time to the left of the abscissa $x$, and describe the asymptotic behaviour as $x$ and $y$ tend to $\infty$. The result is applied to the risk reserve process of insurance mathematics as well as to one-dimensional random walks.

As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Isoperimetric inequalities on slabs with applications to cubes and Gaussian slabs
Abstract We study isoperimetric inequalities on “slabs”, namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension‐one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case when the base is the flat torus R2/2Z2$\mathbb {R}^2 / 2 \mathbb {Z}^2$ and the standard Gaussian measure

ABSTRACT On April 6, 2009, central Italy was hit by a Mw6.1$$ {M}_w\kern0.3em 6.1 $$ earthquake that caused 308 victims in the city and province of L'Aquila; subsequently, in 2016, two Mw6+$$ {M}_w\kern0.3em 6+ $$ shocks were recorded in an area located a few dozen kilometers further north, respectively in Amatrice and Norcia.

Testing for Network Specificity in Brain‐Behavior Associations Using Ordinal Dominance Curves
NETDOM is a novel statistical framework for testing whether brain–behavior associations within a region of interest are both significantly greater than zero and larger than associations outside of the selected region. ABSTRACT Interpreting brain‐behavior relationships through the lens of anatomical parcellations or functional networks is commonplace in

v. Weizsäcker and Heisenberg began their turbulence collaboration in 1945 while still quarantined at Farm Hall. Their papers were submitted separately in 1946 from Göttingen. v. Weizsäcker had derived the 5/3 law for dissipation while using dimensional analysis in real space.

Flesh and code: The cinematic lineage of AI replacing humans from Maria to Cassandra
Abstract This study explores the evolving representation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) characters in media and its intersection with contemporary technological issues, focusing on the paradoxical human desire for emotional and creative replacement.
