A fuzzy modeling framework for sustainable municipal solid waste collection by the mixed fleet by Mehmet Erdem, Akın Özdemir

“…A powerful hybrid heuristic, which consists of a new greedy construction heuristic, an adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) employing extended repair and destroy operators, and a local search procedure, is proposed to solve the complex problem. Then, extensive experimental analyses are conducted to highlight the high-quality performance of the hybrid heuristic using both newly created small and large real-life instances. …”

SAR 3D Reconstruction Based on Multi-Prior Collaboration by Yangyang Wang, Zhenxiao Zhou, Zhiming He, Xu Zhan, Jiapan Yu, Xingcheng Han, Xiaoling Zhang, Zhiliang Yang, Jianping An

“…However, in scenarios involving distributed targets, the aforementioned methods often fail to maintain continuous structural features such as edges and contours, thereby limiting their reconstruction performance and adaptability. Recent studies have introduced geometric regularization functions to preserve the structural continuity of targets, yet these lack multi-prior consensus, resulting in limited reconstruction quality and robustness in complex scenarios. …”

Optimisation of the performance and structure of soluble ball seat metal sealing rings based on response surface by CHEN Zhen, RAN Qingjie, CHEN Nengpeng, WANG Qiaomu

“…Through the combination of multi-structure simulation, response surface optimization design and simulation verification, multi-objective optimization, and high-pressure experimental verification, the structural parameters of the metal sealing ring are systematically revealed to have an impact on the safety and sealing performance, and at the same time, a collaborative design path with "low-stress-high-pressure" is constructed, which provides theoretical basis and experimental support for the optimization of the sealing structure under the complex working conditions. …”

Phenol compounds in the borehole 5G, Vostok station, after the unlocking of the subglacial lake by I. A. Alekhina, A. L. Moskvin, A. A. Ekaykin, V. Ya. Lipenkov

“…This impact includes not only direct water pollution of the lake by the drilling fluid, but also possible changes in organic components of the liquid when contacting with the lake water under natural conditions of a deep well. Our data have demonstrated that using of such complex organic liquids, like aviation kerosene formerly used in many drilling projects, is undesirable when exploring deep Antarctic subglacial lakes. …”
