Dynamic Congested Traffic States of Density Difference Lattice Hydrodynamic Model with On-Ramp by Jun-fang Tian, Zhen-zhou Yuan, Bin Jia, Wang Tao

“…Under the stochastic rule, various empirical spatiotemporal patterns can be well reproduced, such as the pinned localized cluster (PLC) and homogeneous synchronized traffic (HST). Under the deterministic rule, four new types of congested traffic states, such as the stationary oscillatory congested traffic (OCT) upstream of on-ramp and the stationary and localized OCT emerging in HST, are identified for the first time. …”

Applications of occupancy urn models to epidemiology by Carlos M. Hernández-Suárez, Oliver Mendoza-Cano

“…We show that this construction does not require that the underlying SIR model be a homogeneousPoisson process, leading to a geometric distribution for the number ofcontacts before removal, but instead it supports a generaldistribution. …”

Género y gestión del riesgo de desastres: análisis comparado de la agenda internacional y latinoamericana y caribeña by Ana Gabriela Fernández-Saavedra, Rosario González-Arias, Sandra Dema-Moreno

“…The results show that there has been an accelerated process of incorporating the gender perspective in disaster risk management on a global scale, but not in Latin America and the Caribbean, a geographical context in which said evolution has not been homogeneous or constant. The lag identified in this region, especially affected by disasters, reveals the importance of having a harmonized regulation, which also incorporates the scientific evidence obtained on the matter in recent decades. …”

A study of classical and quantum cosmology in modified teleparallel gravity and the role of Noether symmetry by Dipankar Laya, Shriton Hembrom, Sourav Dutta, Subenoy Chakraborty

“…In the background of homogeneous and isotropic flat Friedmann–Lema $$\hat{\text{ i }}$$ i ^ tre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) model, the Noether symmetry vector with the associated conserved charge identifies a cyclic variable so that the modified Einstein field equations get simplified and becomes solvable in the present model. …”

Thermodynamic modeling of the Fe−Zn system using exponential temperature dependence for the excess Gibbs energy by Tang Y., Yuan X., Du Y., Xiong W.

“…The Fe-Zn binary system was re−modeled using exponential equation Li=hi•exp(-T/τi) (i=0,1,2…) to describe the excess Gibbs energy of the solution phases and intermetallic compounds with large homogeneities. A self-consistent set of thermodynamic parameters is obtained and the calculated phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties using the exponential equation agree well with the experimental data. …”

COULOMB DRAG RESISTIVITY IN DOUBLE-LAYER GRAPHENE: INHOMOGENEITY EFFECTS by Manh Tien Nguyen, Van Men Nguyen

“…The drag resistivity between the two layers in the case of an inhomogeneous background dielectric is substantially larger than that in the case of a homogeneous one. In addition, both the value and the imbalance in carrier density in the layers lead to noticeable changes in Coulomb drag resistivity in the system. …”
