Probing the Nonlinear Density Wave Theory of Spiral Galaxies by Baryonic Tully–Fisher Relation by Miroslava Vukcevic, Djordje Savic, Predrag Jovanović

“…It rather follows an important gravitational interaction between constituents of disk mass in the outer part of the disk via gravitational potential. Data are obtained by a fitting procedure applied on the sample of 81 rotational curves of late type spirals using expressions for the rotational velocity derived as an exact, a self-consistent solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation for galactic surface mass density. …”

Ethnic disparities in the association between maternal socioeconomic status and childhood anemia in Peru: a nationwide multiyear cross-sectional studyResearch in context by Ali Al-kassab-Córdova, Claudio Intimayta-Escalante, Pamela Robles-Valcarcel, Diego Urrunaga-Pastor, Baltica Cabieses

“…Summary: Background: Maternal socioeconomic status (SES) is closely linked to children's health outcomes. However, the marginalization-related diminished returns theory suggests that increases in SES yield smaller health gains for marginalized populations—such as Afro-Peruvian and Indigenous groups—compared to majority groups like Mestizos, largely due to systemic barriers and social disadvantage. …”

Comparative assessment of machine learning algorithms for retrieving colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) from Sentinel-2/MSI images in the coastal waters of the Persian Gulf by Bonyad Ahmadi, Mehdi Gholamalifard, Seyed Mahmoud Ghasempouri, Tiit Kutser

“…The MDN achieved an RMSLE of 0.47 (17.5 % improvement over MLP, 14.5 % over SVM) and reduced systematic bias (SSPB) by 26.12 units compared to Bayesian Ridge Regression (BRR), outperforming conventional models like SVM (MAE = 0.61, RMSLE = 0.55). While the MDN exhibited marginally higher absolute error (MAE = 0.53) than deterministic models, its probabilistic architecture uniquely addressed the Persian Gulf's optical complexity, characterized by overlapping signals from SGD-driven organics, hydrocarbon plumes, and sediment resuspension. …”
