EXPLORING THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE VIA PARITY-BASED PULSED TIMES OF COSINUSOIDAL WAVES IN SUSTAINABLY CONTROLLED MARINE BIOSYSTEMS by Ilias Elmouki, Amine Hamdache, Imane Abouelkheir, Fadwa El Kihal, Kanza Chouayakh, Abdelilah Jraifi, Aziz Darouichi

“…Since it does not also seem that obvious to introduce the disruptions that may be caused by the climate change in such well-known and practical types of models, this work introduces the effect of such phenomena through bang-bang climate waves that we believe could be described using a periodic function like the cosine of πt with t the time variable and that takes the values of either 1 when the pulsed t of climate induced stability is an even number promoting the increase of the vegetation or -1 when the pulsed t of climate change is an odd number leading to the extinction of that biomass. …”
