Numerical Analysis on the Bending Performance of Prestressed Superposing-Poured Composite Beams by Jianmin Wang, Chengfeng Zhu, Ziqiang Xiao, Qijun Zhao, Junzhe Liu

“…As the curved prestressing force is imposed across the casting interface, the maximal interlayer slip of the casting interfacial transition zone (C-ITZ) approximately equals to that without the prestressing force. The scalar stiffness degradation (SDEG) of the C-ITZ for the casting interval time being 14 days is obvious because of the weakening on the bonding performance of the C-ITZ. …”

Feature Selection for Very Short-Term Heavy Rainfall Prediction Using Evolutionary Computation by Jae-Hyun Seo, Yong Hee Lee, Yong-Hyuk Kim

“…We modified the AWS data for the recent four years to perform efficient prediction, through normalizing them to numeric values between 0 and 1 and undersampling them by adjusting the sampling sizes of no-heavy-rain to be equal to the size of heavy-rain. Evolutionary algorithms were used to select important features. …”

New Operational Matrix via Genocchi Polynomials for Solving Fredholm-Volterra Fractional Integro-Differential Equations by Jian Rong Loh, Chang Phang, Abdulnasir Isah

“…This is achieved by approximating the FIDE using Genocchi polynomials in matrix representation and using the collocation method at equally spaced points within interval [0,1]. This reduces the FIDE into a system of algebraic equations to be solved for the Genocchi coefficients of the solution f(x). …”

Time to Consensus in International Negotiations by I. Z. Aronov, O. V. Maksimova

“…Contemporary international relations, anchored in the principles of multipolarity, frequently employ consensus-based decision-making, which prioritizes respect for all negotiating parties and ensures that the views of all participants are considered equally. While consensus remains a core mechanism for many international organizations, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), it has increasingly come under criticism for its inefficiency and substantial time requirements. …”
