The intersections between a spherical shell and the faces of Voronoi polyhedrons are numerically evaluated. The nodes of these intersections are the points that share the same distances from three nuclei. The nodes are assumed to be the places where we will find clusters of galaxies. The cosmological environment is given by the coupling between the...

The Database of Cross-Linguistic Colexifications (CLICS), has established a computer-assisted framework for the interactive representation of cross-linguistic colexification patterns. In its current form, it has proven to be a useful tool for various kinds of investigation into cross-linguistic semantic associations, ranging from studies on semanti...

The sampling scheme plays an important role in the performance of control charts. This study leads to the development of a new Shewhart-type mean control chart to monitor the process by employing cost-effective quartile pair ranked set sampling (QPRSS) method. This competes with known mean control charts based on simple random sampling (SRS) and th...

The safety of trains, a highly efficient mode of transportation, has attracted significant attention. In the vehicle structure design of a train, the evaluation of the passenger evacuation time is necessary. The establishment of a simulation model is the fastest, most convenient, and practical way to achieve this goal. However, few scholars have fo...

It seems that the least accurate (population) forecasts are those published in the period of great historical turning points both economic and political. Several studies analysed the forecasts’ accuracy in Western countries, but the post-1990 development in the post-communistic countries has not been analysed in this respect. The general goal of th...

BackgroundThe only licensed malaria vaccine, RTS,S/AS01, has been developed for morbidity-control in young children. The potential impact on transmission of deploying such anti-infective vaccines to wider age ranges, possibly with co-administration of antimalarial treatment, is unknown. Combinations of existing malaria interventions is becoming inc...

Simulating the behavior of economic agents fosters the analysis of interconnected markets dynamics. Here, we extend the state of the art by adding realistic details to simulating economic exchange networks. To this end, we use our economic network simulation framework TrEcSim, which is designed to support the following real-life features: complex n...

Gallium arsenide is a semiconductor compound with well-known properties in its bulk phase. Theoretical works explain some of the properties of this material at a cluster scale; nevertheless, more research is required to fully understand these systems. In this work, we used the density functional theory (DFT) formalism, specifically the PBE function...

Interface engineering has been regarded as an effective and noninvasive means to optimize the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, doping engineering of a ZnO electron transport layer (ETL) and CsPbI3/ZnO interface engineering via introduction of an interfacial layer are employed to improve the performances of CsPbI3-based PSCs. The ...
