Government Subsidies and Industrial Productivity in South Africa: A Focus on the Channels by Brian Tavonga Mazorodze

“…Estimation is performed through an endogeneity robust panel stochastic frontier model, which treats subsidies as both an inefficiency driver and a technology variable. An additional estimation approach is proposed integrating the true fixed effects with a control function in a bid to account for both unobserved heterogeneity and idiosyncratic endogeneity. …”

A new method for routing protocols using hybrid fuzzy clustering in UWSNs by Xiaoju Wang, Bin Meng, Xuexu Yuan, Junwei Zhao

“…Besides, the new scheme improved energy variance by 40% at nodes to prolong the network lifetime and maintain a higher throughput in conditions of variable network load. This fuzzy clustering technique stands apart because it tries to overcome UWSN-specific challenges using adaptive data aggregation along with multistep communication and hence is more resistant and energy-efficient compared to the conventional protocols.…”

The Constraint Function Response Shifting Scalar-Based Optimization Method for the Reliability-Based Dynamic Optimization Problem by Ping Qiao, Qi Zhang, Yizhong Wu

“…Whereafter, in order to solve RB-DOP efficiently, the constraint function response shift scalar (CFRSS)-based RB-DOP optimization method is proposed, in which the nested RB-DOP is decoupled into an equivalent deterministic DOP and a CFRSS search problem, and the two problems are addressed iteratively until the control law converges. …”
