Since the discovery of the utility of the numbers, the human being tried to differentiate them. We decide between them according to whether they are even or odd. Or, according to the fact that they are prime or composite. A natural number n >1 is called a prime number if it has no positive divisors other than 1 and n.

Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics
Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Abstract We study an inventory routing problem with time windows (IRPTW). A single supplier serves a set of customers to fulfill their demand throughout a planning horizon. Each customer can be visited only within designated time windows, assuming each customer provides a single delivery time window valid for all periods.

ABSTRACT The January 24 Decisions of 1980 and the subsequent Özal era marked a profound rupture, carrying Türkiye from an import substitution economy to an outward‐oriented, “free‐market” order. Drawing on Michel Foucault's concept of neoliberal governmentality, this study conducts a qualitative, interpretivist discourse analysis of Turgut Özal's ...

ABSTRACT Objective Aversive (“dark”) personality traits are traditionally studied as predictors of harmful or manipulative behavior, yet their underlying cognitive‐affective structures remain underexplored. This research investigates whether the Dark Core of personality (D)—the common aversive essence of all dark traits—is associated with primal world ...

ABSTRACT Former food products (FFP) are food industry leftovers that can be used as feed ingredients. We investigated the effects of sugary FFP on growth, feeding behaviour, carcass and meat quality of pigs fattened to a heavy weight. Three inclusion levels were tested: 0% (FFP‐0 = control), 20% (FFP‐20) and 40% (FFP‐40) FFP in grower (20–60 kg BW ...

The Accuracy Smoothness Dilemma in Prediction: A Novel Multivariate M‐SSA Forecast Approach
ABSTRACT Forecasting presents a complex estimation challenge, as it involves balancing multiple, often conflicting, priorities and objectives. Conventional forecast optimization methods typically emphasize a single metric, such as minimizing the mean squared error (MSE), which may neglect other crucial aspects of predictive performance. To address this

Implementations of the Improved AKS Primality Testing Algorithm
:The AKS algorithm successfully solved the noted problem of deterministic primality testing in polynomial time, but it was not yet suitable for the real application, thus it was improved in series.

GDP and GDI Growth Accounting in the Open Economy: Multiplicative Fisher Decompositions
ABSTRACT While most national statistical agencies still use chained Laspeyres indices in their national accounts, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and Statistics Canada have been at the forefront for the past two decades by using instead a superlative index—the Fisher index—when computing price and quantity indices for GDP and its components.

Multi‐objective maritime vessel routing with safety considerations
Abstract The routing of maritime vessels is a challenging optimization problem that involves finding an adequate balance between conflicting and multiple objectives. This paper proposes a methodology based on inverse optimization to find appropriate objective weights that account for conflicting objectives. To formulate the inverse optimization problem,
