A Birandom Job Search Problem with Risk Tolerance by Guoli Wang, Wansheng Tang, Ruiqing Zhao

“…Since the offered wages are random variables and the search process is random, it's impossible to obtain the job searcher's real return; in this case, its expected value can be calculated via birandom theory. Simultaneously, some propositions on the expected return as well as the average search times are also studied which may provide some valuable suggestions to the job searcher. …”

Topological indices and their correlation with structural properties of carbon nanotube Y-junctions by Khawlah Alhulwah, Ali N.A. Koam, Nasreen Almohanna, Muhammad Faisal Nadeem, Ali Ahmad

“…In this work, the calculation of the Balaban, Forgotten, and Zagreb indices for the four types of CNT Y-junctions is carried out using chemical graph theory. The obtained results clearly show that all these topological indices increase progressively across the different configurations of the Y-junctions, which evidences a direct relationship among the structural complexity and stability with their electronic properties.…”

Research on Rapid Evaluation of Rock Mass Quality Based on Ultrasonic Borehole Imaging Technology and Fractal Method by Yuezheng Zhang, Hongguang Ji, Wenguang Li, Kuikui Hou

“…The distribution of discontinuities in the deep stratigraphic rock mass is random and irregular, and the spatial distribution has statistical self-similarity, which can be analyzed by fractal theory. The borehole wall image obtained based on the ultrasonic borehole imaging technology can clearly reflect the rich structural surface information such as the inclination, density, and crack width of the structural surface in the rock mass. …”

Green Supply Chain Decisions and Revenue-Sharing Contracts under Manufacturers’ Overconfidence by Hui Zhou, Lu Liu, Weifan Jiang, Shengsheng Li

“…In this paper, we define manufacturers’ overconfidence as a belief bias that they overestimate the impact of product greenness on demand and the accuracy of demand uncertainty. We build a game theory model based on overconfident beliefs, address the decisions of product greenness and price, and discuss the impact of manufacturers’ overconfidence on supply chain decisions and profits. …”

Moroccan natural products for multitarget-based treatment of Alzheimer's disease: A computational study. by Fatima Zahra Guerguer, Amal Bouribab, El Mehdi Karim, Meriem Khedraoui, Fatiha Amegrissi, Yasir S Raouf, Abdelouahid Samadi, Samir Chtita

“…These compounds exhibit favourable pharmacokinetic profiles and strong binding affinities for the five key targets associated with the disease. Density functional theory, molecular dynamics simulations, and MM-GBSA calculations further confirmed their structural stability, with a slight preference for C24, exhibiting superior intermolecular interactions and overall stability. …”

Damage Evolution of Concrete Piles Mixed with Admixtures in Marine Corrosion and Freeze-Thaw Environment by Yan Li, Bing Li, Lianying Zhang, Chao Ma

“…When the corrosion time is 270 d and the freeze-thaw time is 90 times, the strength of concrete decreases by 13% and the elastic modulus decreases by 5%. Then, based on the theory of damage mechanics, the damage evolution and constitutive model of concrete under the marine corrosion and freeze-thaw environment are established. …”
