Exploring the impact of GeoGebra on preservice teachers’ proficiency in teaching grade 10 parabola functions by Abongile Ngwabe, Marc Schafer

“…This paper investigates the development of teaching proficiency among preservice teachers in Grade 10 parabola functions through the use of GeoGebra. A significant number of preservice teachers encounter challenges in effectively teaching parabola functions due to limited resources for illustrating complex mathematical relationships, which can impede both their teaching proficiency and the students' conceptual understanding. …”

Near extinction of the HBV quasispecies driven by the hard selective sweep in chronic hepatitis B by Daiqiang Lu, Andong He, Guichan Liao, Renyu Zhou, Zichun Cheng, Ka Cheuk Yip, Xiufang Wang, Wei Cao, Jiaojiao Peng, Ruiman Li, Jie Peng, Feng Gao

“…The nearly identical viral population suggests that all these viruses are from a single source. Predominant mutations were identified in known T cell epitopes but not in epitopes for neutralizing antibodies, indicating that the hard selective sweep is most likely driven by T cell selection pressure. …”

Kriging-Based Variable Screening Method for Aircraft Optimization Problems with Expensive Functions by Yadong Wang, Xinyao Duan, Jiang Wang, Jin Guo, Minglei Han

“…The computational complexity of airfoil optimization for aircraft wing designs typically involves high-dimensional parameter spaces defined by geometric variables, where each Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation cycle may require significant processing resources. Therefore, performing variable selection to identify influential inputs becomes crucial for minimizing the number of necessary model evaluations, particularly when dealing with complex systems exhibiting nonlinear and poorly understood input–output relationships. …”
