Good Real Perturbations of Simple Corank One Map Germs From R3$\mathbb {R}^3$ to R3$\mathbb {R}^3$

Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The existence of good real perturbations of map germs is one of the most interesting open questions in singularity theory. In this paper, we investigate this question for all simple corank one map germs from R3$\mathbb {R}^3$ to R3$\mathbb {R}^3$, we give a complete description of those that admit a good real perturbation.

New views of some invariants associated with the Cartesian 2D velocity gradient tensor

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Vorticity and divergence of horizontal flow are fundamental quantities in meteorology; both are linear functions of the four elements of the 2D velocity gradient tensor and both are formally unchanged under coordinate rotation. We explore four quadratic functions of the elements that are geometrically invariant in this sense, finding some novel ...

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks

steel research international, EarlyView.
Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.

Reverse engineering strut‐and‐tie models for assessing reinforced concrete structures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Strut‐and‐tie models enable the design of reinforced concrete structures with static or geometrical discontinuities, providing interpretability and control over the load path. These models are valuable for designing discontinuity regions of new structures and for validating nonlinear finite‐element analysis results. However, developing a strut‐

Bond, tension‐stiffening, and cracking in multi‐generational recycled aggregate concrete subjected to shrinkage strains

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The concrete industry is responsible for a significant portion of global waste production and multi‐generation recycled aggregate concrete (MGRAC) is a means to allow the sector to transition to a circular economy framework. To predict the behavior of MGRAC at the member level there is a need to understand the underlying mechanics of bond ...

Exploring the Landscape of MgO Polymorphs: Stability and the Electronic Band Gap of Promising Candidates

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
In this study, we have investigated possible predicted polymorphs of magnesium oxide (MgO) with respect to their thermodynamic and kinetic stability, as well as their electronic properties, focusing on the possibility of tuning the band gap of the material.

The Crystal Structures of High‐ and Low‐Temperature Silver Pyrophosphate: Structural Instability and Its Consequences

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
The crystal structures of the high‐temperature and low‐temperature phases of silver pyrophosphate are reported. The structural results are complemented by thermal analysis, vibrational and 31P‐MAS‐NMR spectroscopy studies, and density functional theory calculations.

From allostasis to addiction: Cortisol dysregulation, daily stress and relations with 9‐year alcohol and substance use disorder severity in community adults

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Diurnal cortisol dysregulation and daily stressor severity may jointly forecast long‐term alcohol use disorder (AUD) and substance use disorder (SUD) severity, yet most evidence is cross‐sectional and relies on single cortisol indices.

Beyond profit maximization: The effect of cooperative governance on insolvency risk in the Brazilian supplementary healthcare industry

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditional bankruptcy literature has primarily focused on commercial enterprises, often overlooking the unique dynamics of cooperatives and other small organizations. This study addresses this g ap by developing a predictive model for insolvency risk within Brazil's supplementary health sector, encompassing both for‐profit and not‐for‐profit ...

Calibrating Bayesian inference

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bayesian statistics has gained popularity in psychological research due to its intuitive uncertainty quantification and convenient information‐updating rules. In many applications, however, prior distributions are introduced merely as instruments to facilitate computation, rather than as representations of genuine subjective belief ...
