COMPLEXITY IN A COURNOT DUOPOLY GAME WITH DIFFERENTIATED GOODS BETWEEN SEMI-PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FIRMS by Georges SARAFOPOULOS, Kosmas PAPADOPOULOS

“…In this paper we analyze the dynamics of a nonlinear Cournot-type duopoly game with differentiated goods for two bounded rational players with different objective functions. Specifically, the first player is a semi-public company and cares about a percentage of the social welfare and the second player is a private company which cares only about its own profit maximization. …”

Time-Dependent Multi-Center Semi-Open Heterogeneous Fleet Path Optimization and Charging Strategy by Tingxin Wen, Haoting Meng

“…To address the challenges of distribution cost and efficiency in electric vehicle (EV) logistics, this study proposes a time-dependent, multi-center, semi-open heterogeneous fleet model. The model incorporates a nonlinear power consumption measurement framework that accounts for vehicle parameters and road impedance, alongside an objective function designed to minimize the total cost, which includes fixed vehicle costs, driving costs, power consumption costs, and time window penalty costs. …”

Optimal set of leaf and aboveground tree elements for predicting forest functioning by É. S. Diniz, E. Rodríguez-Penedo, R. Grau-Andrés, J. Vayreda, M. Fernández-Martínez

“…However, the potential of the elemental composition of trees (i.e., elementomes) as a predictor of forest functioning remains elusive. We assessed the predictive power of elemental composition from different perspectives: testing whether aboveground element stocks or concentrations explain forest production and productivity (i.e., production per unit of standing biomass) better than leaf elements or environmental factors, and identifying the optimal set (combination and quantity) of elements that best predicts forest functioning. …”

Combined arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with mesenchymal stem cell augmentation shows similar functional outcomes but a higher structural integrity rate compared with isolated re... by Erminia Cofano, MD, PhD, Roberto Minici, MD, Giovanna Spina, MD, Domenico Laganà, MD, Olimpio Galasso, MD, Giorgio Gasparini, MD, Michele Mercurio, MD

“…Background: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) has guaranteed satisfactory outcomes but remains associated with a significant rate of tendon-bone healing failure. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been tested as a promising cell-based therapy for rotator cuff tear (RCT). …”
