Conservation of forest biomass and forest–dependent wildlife population: Uncertainty quantification of the model parameters by Ibrahim, M. Fanuel, Silas, Mirau, Damian, Kajunguri, Francis, Moyo

“…Among these challenges lies the degradation of forest biomass, which directly contributes to a reduction in forested areas and poses a significant threat to the survival of wildlife species through the intensification of intraspecific competition. In this paper, a non–linear mathematical model to study the conservation of forest and wildlife species that are reliant on forest ecosystem within the framework of human population dynamics and its related activities is developed and analysed. …”

Modification of surface layers by high energy treatment by M. N. Vereschagin, S. N. Tselueva, M. Yu. Tseluev

“…The nature of heating, which is determined by the rate of change of temperature, temperature gradients, the time to reach the temperatures of structural and phase transitions, is different depending on the properties of the material being processed and the processing conditions.When modifying the surface layers by high-energy processing by changing the power and time of exposure to laser radiation, you can get a wide range of structural states of the treated surface areas of the material.It is shown that the shape of TVP diagrams and cooling curves of precision alloys on the surface of a two-layer metal system after heating them with laser radiation are determined by the competition of two processes acting in opposite directions: an increase in the driving force of the crystallization process with an increase in supercooling and a decrease in the surface of atoms.The method of surface modification by moving laser radiation allows to obtain amorphous functional layers of precision alloys on the surface of metal products.…”
