Almost Ricci–Yamabe soliton on contact metric manifolds by Mohan Khatri, Jay Prakash Singh

“…Moreover, the obtained result is verified by constructing an example. Findings – We prove that if the metric g admits an almost (α, β)-Ricci–Yamabe soliton with α ≠ 0 and potential vector field collinear with the Reeb vector field ξ on a complete contact metric manifold with the Reeb vector field ξ as an eigenvector of the Ricci operator, then the manifold is compact Einstein Sasakian and the potential vector field is a constant multiple of the Reeb vector field ξ. …”

Removing Land Subsidence Impact from GPS Horizontal Motion in Tianjin, China by Zhao Peng, Wenbing Liu, Lei Zhang

“…The model is capable of predicting the horizontal motion of the target GPS station with the impact of land subsidence removed by learning the implicit relationship between the horizontal motion and vertical data of the station. A local model was constructed for each GPS station in the Tianjin subsidence area, and the corresponding dataset was generated for the purposes of model training and testing. …”

On the nature of intermediary relations in insurance by P.Z. Ivanishin

“…The analysis of the legal nature of the insurance broker as against the insurance agent shows that the criteria for differentiation include both legal features, such as legal capacity, and particular contractual constructions. The insurance broker acting for the benefit of the insurer acquires intermediary functions on the basis of mandate or commission agreements, agency agreements, or paid services agreements. …”

Efficiency Enhancement of Nanoporous Silicon/Polycrystalline-Silicon Solar Cells by Application of Trenched Electrodes by Kuen-Hsien Wu, Chia-Chun Tang

“…Interdigitated trenches were formed in the NPS layers by a reactive-ion-etch (RIE) process and Cr/Al double-layered metal was then deposited to fill the trenches and construct trenched-electrode-contacts (TEC’s). Cells with TEC structures (called “TEC cells”) obtained 5.5 times higher short-circuit current than that of cells with planar electrode contacts (called “non-TEC cells”). …”
