Evaluating Sensitivity of the Ranking of Forest Fuel Treatments to Manager’s Risk Attitudes and the Importance of Treatment Objectives, Montana, USA by Tony Prato, Travis Paveglio

“…The conceptual framework involves (1) defining a utility function on an index that is a weighted average of fuel treatment objectives and incorporates a manager’s risk attitude; (2) using the utility function to calculate utility values for FTSs; (3) applying the stochastic efficiency with respect to a function method to utility values to obtain certainty equivalents (CEs); and (4) ranking FTSs based on statistically significant differences in median CEs for pairs of FTSs. …”

Predicting Kinematic Viscosity and Cetane Number of Diesel- Biodiesel Blend Using Neural Network and Empirical Models by M. yari, Gh. Moradi, M. Abdolmaleki, Sh. Bashiri

“…This study tries to estimate two substantial properties of blend, i.e. kinemattic viscosity (KV) and cetane number (CN), through neural network (NN) and empirical models which use pure properties of biodiesel (kinematic viscosity, boiling point, evaporation point, flash point, pour point, heat of combustion, cloud point, and specific gravity) as independent variables. In this regard, a three-layer feed-forward network with varying input parameters, training algorithms, transfer functions, and hidden neurons has been examined to predict the KV and CN of the diesel-biodiesel blend. …”

Alleviative Effect of Exogenous Application of Fulvic Acid on Nitrate Stress in Spinach (<i>Spinacia oleracea</i> L.) by Kangning Han, Jing Zhang, Cheng Wang, Youlin Chang, Zeyu Zhang, Jianming Xie

“…FA application promoted the accumulation of biomass in spinach under nitrate stress and increased chlorophyll content, the net photosynthetic rate, the maximum photochemical quantum yield of PSII (Photosystem II) (Fv/Fm), the quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry [Y(II)], the electron transport rate, and the overall functional activity index of the electron transport chain between the PSII and PSI systems (PItotal); moreover, FA decreased PSII excitation pressure (1 − qP), quantum yields of regulated energy dissipation of PSII [Y(NPQ)], and the relative variable initial slope of fluorescence. …”

Convergence analysis of option drift rate inverse problem based on degenerate parabolic equation by Miao-miao Song, Zui-cha Deng, Xiang Li, Qiu Cui

“…In this paper, we study the convergence of the inverse drift rate problem of option pricing based on degenerate parabolic equations, aiming to recover the stock price drift rate function by known option market prices. Unlike the classical inverse parabolic equation problem, the article transforms the original problem into an inverse problem with principal coefficients of the degenerate parabolic equation over a bounded region by variable substitution, thus avoiding the error introduced by artificial truncation. …”
