Multiclass dynamic emergency traffic collaborative assignment with parallel two-stage optimization by Zheng Liu, Jia-Lin Liu, Lei Zhang

“…Moreover, some novel optimization-based data-driven conclusions for dynamic evacuation and rescue traffic collaborative assignment are captured, e.g., compared with the traditional hierarchical solving approach, the parallel solving approach is more resistant to interference from rescue traffic during the evacuation, and can achieve better evacuation traffic optimization performance without delaying rescue traffic operation; there exists the mirror symmetry law to time and space allocation of the road network for the quick arrival of rescue vehicles in the disaster position during the evacuation.…”

Laser-Ablative Structuring of Elastic Bandages—An Experimental Study by Peijiao Huang, Daoyong Zhang, Wenyuan Lu, Xihuai Wang, Da Chen, Shengbin Zhao, Mingdi Wang

“…Finally, based on single-factor experiments, orthogonal experimental analysis was conducted to determine the optimal process parameters. The results show that the optimized optical path can effectively improve the uniformity of the temperature field during laser scanning and enhance focusing performance; as energy gradually accumulates, chemical bonds in polymer molecules break; when the elastic bandage fabric is in a highly elastic state, it exhibits appropriate breaking strength and color difference. …”

Optimizing Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) production: effects of substrate variation on biomass, nutritional quality, hatchability, fecundity, and frass quality by Erick O. Ogello, Nicholas O. Outa, Mavindu Muthoka, Fredrick Juma, Fredrick Juma, Jan Hoinkis

“…Reproductively, mixed organic waste supported the highest fecundity (1408.9 ± 65.4 eggs/female), egg clutch size (679.4 ± 40.3), and oviposition preference (95.9 ± 6%). Frass quality mirrored substrate composition: vegetable waste produced the highest organic matter (75.4 ± 3.9%), while poultry and fish waste frass showed superior nitrogen and phosphorus content, with low C:N ratios (16.9–17.8) favorable for composting.DiscussionThe mixed organic waste emerged as the most effective substrate, optimizing BSF biomass production, nutritional value, reproductive output, and fertilizer potential. …”

Enhancing systematic literature review adapting ‘double diamond approach’ by Hari Prasad Pandey, Tek Narayan Maraseni, Armando A. Apan

“…By critically evaluating existing SLR approaches, we propose an enhanced SLR method, termed 'double-stage SLR,' designed to identify gaps, define research questions, develop strategies to overcome challenges, and deliver high-quality review work. This approach mirrors the Double Diamond Approach (DDA), which we refer to as ‘DDA in SLR’, viewing systematic reviews as projects aimed at addressing existing issues in review processes. …”
