Modeling the Impact of Vaccination and Post-Treatment on Rabies Transmission
Rabies remains a serious public health concern, as dog bites account for the majority of human cases. In this study, we develop a comprehensive mathematical model to investigate the dynamics of rabies transmission by incorporating two key intervention strategies: an asymptotic class (\(P\)) and a bo...

Stochastic Optimal Energy Planning of the Multi-connected Grids by the Presence of Bi-facial PV Panels: Interaction of Micro-nano and Main Grid
The increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuel-based energy systems have accelerated the global push toward cleaner technologies. Bi-facial photovoltaic (BPV) panels, capable of capturing solar irradiance from both sides, have emerged as a promising solution due to their higher energ...

A Nonlinear Dynamical Model of Divorce Due to Extra-Marital Affairs with Long-Distance and Age-Structured Influences
This study introduces an age-structured compartmental model that analyzes transitions among stable marriages, long-distance relationships, extra-marital affairs, and divorce. Key behavioral parameters include $\lambda$ (transition to long-distance), $\delta$ (reunification), $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2...

The Application of Dual-Denoised Momentum Factors in Portfolio Management: A Study of ChiNext Stocks for Retail Investors
Momentum-based investment strategies face persistent challenges from noise contamination in financial time series, particularly within emerging markets such as China's ChiNext board. Traditional enhancement approaches typically address symptoms rather than underlying causes, resulting in continued v...

Scientific, Societal, and Spiritual Implications of Finding (or Not Finding) Life on Mars
As humanity enters a transformative era of Mars exploration, guided by NASA's Moon-to-Mars roadmap, rapid advances in commercial spaceflight, and the National Academies' Science Strategy for the Human Exploration of Mars (2025), we approach a pivotal moment in the search for extraterrestrial life. R...

On the Convergence of Nonconcave-Nonconvex Max-Min Optimization Problem
Despite extensive study of max--min problems, convergence analysis for the challenging nonconvex--nonconcave setting remains limited. This paper addresses the convergence analysis of nonconvex--nonconcave max--min problems. A novel analytical framework is developed by employing carefully constructed...

Navigating Ethical Boundaries in Federated Learning for Biomedical Research
Biomedical research is increasingly shaped by vast and diverse datasets, yet their integration is constrained by privacy concerns, regulatory barriers, and fragmented infrastructures. Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a promising paradigm that enables institutions to collaboratively train machi...

Prospects of Agrivoltaics as a Sustainable Mitigation Solution to the Nomadic Cattle Rearing Crisis in Nigeria: A Review
The ongoing conflict between herdsmen and farmers across different regions in Nigeria over scarce natural resources continues to generate disputes that threaten the lives and property of citizens. The impact of this crisis is now escalating to a level that significantly endangers the country's socio...

A Comprehensive Survey on Routing Algorithms in Mobile Adhoc Network
MANET is a form of a network which has movable devices and does not have any centralized AP (Access Point). This type of network can be implemented in a different domain without having and requiring any central administration. MANET has no pre-existing infrastructure; therefore, communication can be...
