On the Derivation of a Closed-Form Expression for the Solutions of a Subclass of Generalized Abel Differential Equations by Panayotis E. Nastou, Paul Spirakis, Yannis C. Stamatiou, Apostolos Tsiakalos

“…We develop a general solution methodology that for odd values of k connects the closed form solution of the differential equations with the existence of closed-form expressions for the roots of the polynomial that appears on the right-hand side of the differential equation. …”

Bipartite polygon models: entanglement classes and their nonlocal behaviour by Mayalakshmi Kolangatt, Thigazholi Muruganandan, Sahil Gopalkrishna Naik, Tamal Guha, Manik Banik, Sutapa Saha

“…Then, through explicit examples, we identify the classes of entangled states that exhibit Hardy-type nonlocality. Remarkably, our findings highlight a closer analogy between odd polygon models and the qubit state space in terms of their bipartite Hardy nonlocal behavior compared to even-sided polygons. …”

THE INTERPLAY OF GENDER, AGE, EDUCATION LEVEL AND THERMAL SATISFACTION: EVIDENCE FROM BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA by Ljiljan Veselinović, Jasmina Mangafić

“…Logistic regression provides an intuitive interpretation in terms of odds. Our study also indicates that age may be a critical predictor in the evaluation of indoor temperature, with older participants reporting the rooms in institutions to be warmer than the younger ones. …”
