Computation of separate ratio and regression estimator under Neutrosophic stratified sampling: an application to climate data by Abhishek Singh, Hemant Kulkarni, Florentin Smarandache, Gajendra Vishwakarma

“…In this article, we introduce a novel approach by presenting separate ratio and regression estimators in the context of neutrosophic stratified sampling for the very first time, incorporating auxiliary variables. We have conducted a thorough analysis to estimate these newly proposed estimators' bias and Mean Square Error (MSE) up to the first-order approximation. …”

Quantum dynamics of the effective field theory of the Calogero-Sutherland model by Federico L. Bottesi, Guillermo R. Zemba

“…Nevertheless, the role of the effective hamiltonian of the theory is to establish a specific dynamics, which deserves further consideration. We show that the time evolution of the (chiral or antichiral) density field is given by the quantum Benjamin-Ono equation, in agreement with previous results obtained from the alternative description of the continuous limit of the model, based on quantum hydrodynamics. …”
