Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Heavy-duty Natural Gas Vehicles in Korea by Jigu Seo, Seokjoo Kwon, Sungwook Park

“…This study calculated the emissions from 40 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses by using a backward-looking vehicle simulation model; based on these results, the total heavy-duty NGV GHG emissions in the country were estimated to be 1.66 million tons annually, which contributes 6.75% of the total national GHG emissions from HDVs. …”

An Incremental-Hybrid-Yager’s Entropy Model for Dynamic Portfolio Selection with Fuzzy Variable by Yin Li, Jian Tao, Yazhi Song

“…In addition, fuzzy variables are utilized to represent prices of assets, while historical data based on Markov chain is exploited to estimate membership functions of fuzzy prices. At last, a compromised genetic algorithm is designed, and the numerical example shows that the proposed model achieves solid returns compared against the mean-variance model and Markov chain Monte Carlo method.…”

Prevalence of Stylopization of Sphex ichneumoneus (L.) (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) by Paraxenos westwoodi (Templeton) (Strepsiptera: Xenidae) by Richard S. Miller, April M. Pearce, Kevin M. O'Neill

“…Over a two-year period, 25% of males and 7% of female wasps were stylopized, as evidenced by the presence of puparia and empty puparial cases of male and female P. westwoodi exserted dorsally between abdominal segments. Our estimate is based on a sample size larger than those usually reported for strepsipterans attacking solitary aculeate wasps. …”
