Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Rising market demands, economic pressures, and technological advancements have spurred researchers to seek ways to enhance business environments and scientific productivity. Predictive science, crucial in this context, has gained prominence due to the rapid progress in information technology and forecasting algorithms. Time series forecasting, widely used in fields like engineering, economics, tourism, and energy, has inherent limitations with classical statistical methods, leading researchers to explore artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic for more accurate predictions. However, despite extensive efforts to improve accuracy, challenges persist. The research introduces a model aimed at surpassing existing methods in time series forecasting accuracy. This approach …

Three Novel Approaches To Deep Space: Interstellar Travel That Transcend The Limitations Imposed By The Rocket Equation, Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

At the time of writing this abstract, we read about Betelgeuse star has exploded in the last few days. While there are various explanations and interpretations on how that event would have impacted this Earth’s inhabitants, our interpretation asserts that there are several chains of stars that act to lock this Earth to the 3D realm, and the exploded Betelgeuse star can be considered as a signal from heaven that we, all Earth inhabitants, are allowed to be elevated to 5D consciousness and to explore the Deep Space beyond this solar system. Therefore, in the present paper, it is considered …

A Review At Two Nuclear Reactor Problems In Asia, Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

The development of nuclear power plants (NPP) is often a heated debate, especially in developing countries [1]. In relation to this, it is worth the public's attention that lately, it seems that there have been increasingly frequent press releases from various parties representing the government regarding plans to build the first nuclear fission reactor in Indonesia in the not too distant future. Reportedly there will be a large amount of additional energy supply planned (around 100 GW to be built in Indonesia within the coming decade). For this reason, the authors would like to invite readers to take a moment …

A Right-Brain-Based Epistemology Grounded On Local Wisdom: Intuilytics As A Culturally-Meaningful Alternative In Science, Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Epistemology, the study of knowledge, has long grappled with the challenge of determining truth. While the combination of deductive and inductive reasoning has been a cornerstone of scientific inquiry, several limitations emerge in its application to contemporary epistemology. One significant issue lies within the core of falsificationism, a prominent philosophy championed by Karl Popper. Falsificationism posits that a scientific theory can only be proven false, not true. While this approach aims to prevent dogmatic adherence to untested ideas, it can lead to an endless cycle of trial and error. As Popper himself acknowledged, no single experiment can definitively prove a …

Soft Sets Extensions Used In Bioinformatics, Florentin Smarandache, Daniela Gifu

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This comprehensive review delves into the intricate realm of Soft Sets and their extensions, including HyperSoft Set, IndetermSoft Set, IndetermHyperSoft Set, and TreeSoft Set, within the context of biomedical data analysis. Soft Sets serve as a foundational framework for managing the inherent uncertainty and imprecision inherent in biological data, thereby facilitating informed decision-making and knowledge discovery. The exploration of Soft Set Products, particularly in the context of multiple soft sets, underscores their pivotal role in advancing biomedical research. By extending these concepts to HyperSoft Sets, researchers can unlock deeper insights into complex biological phenomena, enabling more accurate predictions and classification.

Corrosion Characteristics Of Ti And Al2o3/Ti Thin Films Sputtered On 316lss, Iman El-Mahallawi, Hanan ِ Abd El-Fattah Dr., Lamiaa Mohamed Dr., Aliaa Abdelfattah

Mechanical Engineering

In this work, two thin films (Ti and Al2O3/Ti) were deposited on 316LSS substrates by the physical vapor deposition (PVD) sputtering technique. Heat treatment was applied for thin films at 400 °C for 2 h. Thin films were divided into two groups, The First group cooled in the air (normalized), and the second cooled in the furnace (annealed). The electrochemical characteristics were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization (POT) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests. The corrosion resistance (CRST) for all thin films before and after heat treatment was determined in 3.5% NaCl at room temperature (RT). Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and surface …

Photoexcited Charge Carrier Dynamics And Electronic Properties Of Two-Dimensional Mxene, Nb2ctx, Andrew M. Fitzgerald, Emily Sutherland, Tarek A. Elmelegy, Mary Qin Hassig, Julia Martin, Erika Colin-Ulloa, Ken Ngo, Ronald L. Grimm, Joshua R. Uzarski, Michel W. Barsoum, N. Aaron Deskins, Lyubov V. Titova, Kateryna Kushnir Friedman

Mechanical Engineering

Two-dimensional, 2D, niobium carbide MXene, Nb2CTx, has attracted attention due to its extraordinarily high photothermal conversion efficiency that has applications ranging from medicine, for tumor ablation, to solar energy conversion. Here, we characterize its electronic properties and investigate the ultrafast dynamics of its photoexcitations with a goal of shedding light onto the origins of its unique properties. Through density functional theory, DFT, calculations, we find that Nb2CTx is metallic, with a small but finite density of states at the Fermi level for all experimentally relevant terminations of Nb2CTx that can be achieved using HF or molten salt etching of the …

Decoding The Exposome: Data Science Methodologies And Implications In Exposome-Wide Association Studies (Exwass), Ming Kei Chung, John S. House, Farida S. Akhtari, Konstantinos C. Makris, Michael A. Langston, Khandaker Talat Islam, Philip Holmes, Marc Chadeau-Hyam, Alex I. Smirnov, Xiuxia Du, Anne E. Thessen, Yuxia Cui, Kai Zhang, Arjun K. Manrai, Alison Motsinger-Reif, Chirag J. Patel

Pathology Research and Scholarship

This paper explores the exposome concept and its role in elucidating the interplay between environmental exposures and human health. We introduce two key concepts critical for exposomics research. Firstly, we discuss the joint impact of genetics and environment on phenotypes, emphasizing the variance attributable to shared and nonshared environmental factors, underscoring the complexity of quantifying the exposome's influence on health outcomes. Secondly, we introduce the importance of advanced data-driven methods in large cohort studies for exposomic measurements. Here, we introduce the exposome-wide association study (ExWAS), an approach designed for systematic discovery of relationships between phenotypes and various exposures, identifying significant …

Shipwrecks Act As De Facto Marine Protected Areas In Areas Of Heavy Fishing Pressure, Jenny Hickman, Joe Richards, Adam Rees, Emma V. Sheehan

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Ubiquitous, industrial use of bottom‐towed fishing gear since the 1800s has altered marine communities and ecosystem services. Outside of legal protection, only areas inaccessible to trawlers are offered any protection. Shipwrecks present hazards to fishing gear and are rarely subject to trawling pressure. As many have been in situ for >100 years, they offer a baseline of ecological potential when trawling pressure is reduced or removed. Five shipwrecks were surveyed off the Berwickshire coast, some within the Static Gear Reserve and others outside. Video transects were collected of shipwrecks, the surrounding 50 m radius and control locations >150 m from …

Surviving The Megadrought, Warigia Bowman

Faculty Scholarship

According to NASA, the Earth experienced its hottest day in recorded history on July 22, 2024, surpassing the previous hottest day, which was set in 2023. The year 2024 will enter the record books as the hottest year since pre-industrial times. The temperatures in 2024 exceeded the year 2023, during which the average global surface temperature was the warmest ever recorded in the past 174 years. These meteorological facts—although alarming on their own—are the backdrop for the legal analysis contained in this Article. The driest states in the Southwest, including Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah, have long relied …
