Oil price shocks and human capital channels in Nigeria by Olabisi Rasheedat Oladipo, Abiola John Asaleye, Ademola Andrew Onabote, Damilola Felix Eluyela, Rotimi Ayoade Ogunjumo, Joseph Olufemi Ogunjobi, Olufemi Adebayo Oladipo, Stephen Adesina Ibitowa

“…While many studies have investigated the relationship between oil price volatility and human capital development, few have examined how this relationship impacts both basic and advanced human capital channels in developing economies; this study addresses that gap by using a Structural Vector Auto Regression (SVAR) approach to investigate how oil price shocks influence human capital channels. Co-integration tests reveal significant long-term relationships among the variables. …”

A novel method for calculating number buildup factor in gamma-ray transmission measurements using narrow beam geometry by Chuong Huynh Dinh, Trang Le Thi Ngoc, Linh Nguyen Thi Truc, Nguyen Vo Hoang, Thanh Tran Thien

“…Furthermore, the slope of these linear relationships can be expressed as a product of mass density and a cubic polynomial function of the atomic number. Based on these findings, we developed a fitting formula to calculate the number buildup factor using the input variables of sample thickness, mass density, and atomic number. …”

Causal relationships of vegetation productivity with root zone water availability and atmospheric dryness at the catchment scale by G. W. Abeshu, H.-Y. Li, M. Shi, L. R. Leung

“…Seasonal climatic, hydrological, and vegetation characteristics were represented using the Horton index, ecological aridity index, evaporative fraction index, and carbon uptake efficiency. Statistical methods, including circularity statistics, correlation analysis, and causality tests, were employed to determine the complex interactions between catchment wetness, atmospheric dryness, and vegetation carbon uptake. …”

Predicting the Permeability of Pervious Concrete Based on the Beetle Antennae Search Algorithm and Random Forest Model by Jiandong Huang, Tianhong Duan, Yi Zhang, Jiandong Liu, Jia Zhang, Yawei Lei

“…The results showed that the hyperparameters of RF can be tuned by the BAS efficiently; the BAS can combine the conventional RF algorithm to construct the evolved model to predict the permeability of pervious concrete; the cement/aggregate ratio was the most significant variable to determine the permeability, followed by the coarse aggregate proportions.…”

Two Weighted Fuzzy Goal Programming Methods to Solve Multiobjective Goal Programming Problem by Mousumi Gupta, Debasish Bhattacharjee

“…Here, the relative weights represent the relative importance of the objective functions. The proposed methods involve one additional goal constraint by introducing only underdeviation variables to the fuzzy operator λ (resp., 1-λ), which is more efficient than some well-known existing methods such as those proposed by Zimmermann, Hannan, Tiwari, and Mohamed. …”

Improved Sliding Mode Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Single-inductance Dual-output Buck Converter by HUANG Jinfeng, ZHOU Jie

“…ObjectiveThe single-inductance dual-output (SIDO) converter has gained increasing attention due to its reduced magnetic component count, compact size, low cost, and high efficiency. However, because both output branches share a single inductor, significant cross-coupling arises during input voltage transients and load disturbances, degrading output voltage performance. …”
