Improving Affordability and Accessibility for Socially‐Beneficial Services via Government Incentives

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many socially‐beneficial services, like dental care, suffer from a dual challenge: Low affordability for citizens and long waiting times due to insufficient provider capacity. We model a government's problem of designing subsidy policies to address this issue.

Fractional Integral Inequalities for Generalized Interval-Valued Functions With Applications in Stock Price Prediction via LSTM

Journal of Mathematics
We explore the features of fractional integral inequalities for some new classes of interval-valued convex functions (CF s) to establish their generalization compared to the previously known real-valued CF s.

Self‐Service and Home Delivery Combined: Coordinating the Route of a Mobile Parcel Locker With the Delivery Tasks of Its Human Driver

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to the increasing volume of parcels, last‐mile delivery innovations are exploring the integration of multiple delivery modes. The most prominent examples are delivery vans that, next to being the base for the delivery tasks of their human drivers, also function as mobile launching platforms for drones or autonomous delivery robots.

Hadamard And Fejer-Hadamard Type Inequalities for Convex and Relative Convex Functions via an Extended Generalized Mittag-Leffler Function

International Journal of Analysis and Applications, 2019
In this paper, we will prove the Hadamard and the Fejer-Hadamard type integral inequalities for convex and relative convex functions due to an extended generalized Mittag-Leffler function.

An Extended Formulation With Valid Inequalities for the Capacitated Steiner Arborescence Problem

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given a directed graph, the Capacitated Steiner Arborescence Problem (CSAP) aims to determine the least‐cost connection from the root node to terminal nodes requiring a demand through Steiner nodes coming with a capacity, such that there is a unique path from the root to each terminal. This paper presents a new extended formulation of the CSAP,

Coexistence, crossover and extirpation in coalescent communities and ecotones

Oikos, EarlyView.
When two ecological communities come into contact, the strength of their mixing determines whether species coexist, extirpate, or extend their ranges. We present analytical formulas and simulations describing these transitions. Specifically, we derive abundance shifts upon community coalescence, identify the critical mixing strength leading to first ...

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land that must be restored to meet national and global biodiversity and climate goals. Sowing genetically diverse native seeds is key to restoring degraded lands to climate‐resilient landscapes, but we still lack guidance on how to effectively match seed sources to restoration sites across broad ...

Analysis of the fractional scattering contribution in the forward peak for multicomponent systems

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Derivation and justification of mixing rules for multicomponent systems. A novel formulation of the delta‐Eddington scaling rule. Analytical guidance for comparing radiative transfer results. Abstract The widely used δ‐Eddington approximation improves the accuracy of radiative transfer calculations by representing the fraction of scattering into the ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...
