Water Quality Evaluation and Comparison of Provincial Assessment Sections Based on Evaluation Method by Entropy-Weighted Cloud Model by MA Congcong, LIU Dengfeng, HUANG Qiang, YANG Zhiyong, PAN Baozhu, LIN Mu

“…As the water environment system is random and fuzzy,and the cloud model proposed in the 1990s can flexibly realize the conversion of data and concepts,the model is gradually applied in water quality evaluation.Water quality evaluation is essentially a multi-attribute classification problem,and the Euclidean distance can well characterize the multi-attribute problem,which is also gradually applied in water quality evaluation.To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the variable-weighted Euclidean distance method and the evaluation method by the entropy-weighted cloud model in water quality evaluation,we utilize the water quality monitoring data of three major rivers in Shaanxi Province in 2020,i.e.…”

X-ray pulsed light curves of highly compact neutron stars as probes of scalar–tensor theories of gravity by Tulio Ottoni, Jaziel G. Coelho, Rafael C. R. de Lima, Jonas P. Pereira, Jorge A. Rueda

“…Consequently, scalar parameters might be better constrained when uncertainties in NS radii decrease, where this could occur with the advent of next-generation gravitational wave detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope and LISA, as well as future electromagnetic missions like eXTP and ATHENA. Thus, our findings suggest that accurate X-ray data of the NS surface emission, jointly with refined theoretical models, could constrain STTs.…”
