Higher-order topology for collective motions by Zijie Sun, Tianjiang Hu

“…However, these models usually follow pairwise topology and seldom maintain better responsiveness and persistence simultaneously, particularly in the face of sudden predator-like invasion. In this paper, we propose a specified higher-order topology, rather than the pairwise individual-to-individual pattern, to enable optimal responsiveness-persistence trade-off in collective motion. …”

New Scheme of Finite Difference Heterogeneous Multiscale Method to Solve Saturated Flow in Porous Media by Fulai Chen, Li Ren

“…Tests on a variety of numerical experiments show that, in the case that only about a half of the information of the whole microstructure is used, the constructed scheme gives better accuracy at a much lower computational time than FDHMM for the problem of aquifer response to sudden change in reservoir level and gives comparable accuracy at a much lower computational time than FDHMM for the weak drawdown problem.…”

ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION, TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS (TNCS) AND DEVELOPMENT EQUATION IN THE NIGER DELTA by Prince Eze, Ewelie C. Justice

“…The findings of the study show that their unsafe operations destroy people's means of livelihood, damage the health of the environment and negatively impact the economic growth and development of the region. What is sadder in this situation is that the government has not been effective in monitoring and regulating their activities to minimize the negative impact of their operations on the environment, it is in this regard that it is recommended among other things, that government must insist that TNCs adopt international best practices and innovation in their operations, and beyond political speeches and conference communiqué government must also be proactive in enacting and implementing relevant environmental laws and policies that will help in minimizing the harm done to the Environmentenvironment. …”
