Efficient solutions to time-fractional telegraph equations with Chebyshev neural networks by Ali, Amina Hassan, Senu, Norazak, Ahmadian, Ali

“…By integrating Chebyshev polynomials as a substitute for the traditional hidden layer, computational performance is enhanced, and the range of input patterns is broadened. A feed-forward neural network (NN) model, optimized using the adaptive moment estimation (Adam) technique, is utilized to refine network parameters and minimize errors. …”

Controls on eruption style at Rabaul, Papua New Guinea – insights from microlites, porosity and permeability measurements by Bernard, Olivier., Bouvet de Maisonneuve, Caroline

“…In comparison, MSDs in vulcanian and strombolian ballistic bombs and lava flow show a classic pattern of crystallization at a steady-state due to gradual magma ascent. We find that magma feeding sub-plinian eruptions ascends 2–3 orders of magnitude faster than magma feeding vulcanian/effusive eruptions (≥ 1–100 m/s vs 0.1 m/s). …”

Sexual selection predicts the persistence of populations within altered environments by Parrett, Jonathan M., Mann, Darren J., Chung, Arthur Y. C., Slade, Eleanor M., Knell, Robert J.

“…The effect of sexual selection on species persistence remains unclear. The cost of bearing ornaments or armaments might increase extinction risk, but sexual selection can also enhance the spread of beneficial alleles and increase the removal of deleterious alleles, potentially reducing extinction risk. …”

Impact of jet fuel hedging on firm value : a study on global airlines. by Quah, Hui Li., Tan, Jazreel Yan Zhen., Teo, Lay Hui.

“…We also find three factors, namely managerial shares and options holdings, financial distress costs and the presence of alternative hedging mechanism that have significant bearing on airlines’ hedging decisions. Upon understanding how hedging value adds across different regions and periods of fuel price volatility, investors can pay more attention to these three factors in order to accurately predict and assess airlines’ hedging decisions. …”
