Comparison of physical characteristics of mass and luminosity function of disk systems in barred and unbarred spiral galaxies by Al Najm M.N., Y. E. Rashed, H. H. AL-Dahlaki

“…Since the increase of the star's initial mass function with redshift is much more rapid, our findings have indicated that the comoving initial mass function ψS(Mb) of barred and unbarred galaxies at elevated redshift (z > 0.027 for barred and z > 0.02 for unbarred) appears to be declining compared to the critical universe. …”

Effect of Chewing Hardness on Cognitive-Associated Brain Regions Activation by Hansol Lee, Ji-Hye Kim, Seungho Kim, Sung Ho Jang, Yongmin Chang, Youn-Hee Choi

“…Clinical relevance: Our study shows that hard-chewing activates brain regions linked to cognitive function more than soft-chewing. This suggests that harder chewing could be used as a simple, non-invasive method to enhance cognitive processing. …”

Algorithm and Methods for Analyzing Power Consumption Behavior of Industrial Enterprises Considering Process Characteristics by Pavel Ilyushin, Boris Papkov, Aleksandr Kulikov, Konstantin Suslov

“…The need to analyze the specific features of technological processes based on the probabilistic structure and random functions is proven. This is justified because it becomes possible to fulfill the production plan with technological fluctuations in productivity and, accordingly, power consumption, which exceeds the nominal values by more than 5%. …”

The Modified Weibull–Fréchet Mixture distribution for enhanced econometric data modelling by I. O. Akalagboro, C. O. Aronu

“…The interpretability of the MWFM distribution is enhanced by its parameters, α and β, where α determines the shape of the distribution and β controls the scale parameter, facilitating meaningful inference and parameter estimation in statistical analysis. The objectives of the study include to: derive the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative density function (CDF) of the MWFM distribution to establish its mathematical foundation; determine the statistical properties of the MWFM distribution, including moments, skewness, and kurtosis; ascertain the reliability characteristics of the MWFM distribution, providing insights into its performance in modelling reliability and survival data; and compare, on a theoretical basis, the statistical properties of the MWFM distribution with existing distributions to highlight its unique features. …”
