State Administration of Retirement Age in the terms of Budget Crisis by A. K. Solovyev

“…The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of age on the appointment of the state pension fiscal system in our country.The problem of rising of the retirement age in Russia is given a value that is far away from the traditional context of direct influence of demographic processes on the level of pensions, on the one hand, and adaptation of the pension system to changing demographic factors, on the other.In the article the pension system for the first time is considered as a multifactorial model that corrects the degree of dependence on the mutually complex of macroeconomic and demographic factors in the different historical periods. …”

Bandgap Engineering of TiO2 for Enhanced Selectivity in Photoelectrochemical Glycerol Oxidation by Claudio M. Pecoraro, Siming Wu, Monica Santamaria, Patrik Schmuki

“…The superior performance of N‐doped NTs can be attributed to the band‐engineering effects induced by nitrogen doping. Specifically, N‐doping leads to an upward shift of the valence band, thereby adjusting the exit energy levels of photogenerated holes that result in a high selectivity toward glycerol conversion to DHA.…”

PMWFCM: A Possibility based MultiKernel Weighted Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm for classification of driving behaviors by Ning Ma, Kaijun Wu, Yubin Yuan, Jiawei Li, Xiaoqiang Wu

“…Fuzzy clustering algorithms are widely applied in the field of traffic driving, aiding in the classification of driving behaviors from massive traffic data and enhancing traffic safety levels. However, classical Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithms are sensitive to noise during the clustering process, leading to suboptimal performance when dealing with traffic datasets with lower accuracy. …”
