Mechanical properties and mechanism of damage and deterioration of coal under cyclic loading by Ziwei Ding, Qingbao Tang, Xinwei Gong, Jindui Jia, Guangqing Di, Long Chen

“…As micro-scale fractures evolve within the coal body, pores with a volume less than 109 μm3 decrease with increasing cyclic loading and unloading during amplification cycles but remain relatively stable during equal amplitude cyclic loading phases. The contribution rate of damage to fractures with a volume between 109 and 1011 μm3 increases with higher load levels and cyclic loading/unloading during both amplification and equal amplitude cycles. …”

Lessons from Deborah’ Inspiration and Implications on the Plight of Women Leadership in A Male Dominated Society: Significances for Today’s World by Rugyendo, Medard

“…Though this is a bible-centered article, it partly falls under the 5th of the 17 sustainable development goals namely to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world (un.org/sustainable development/sustainable-development- goals). …”

A Modified Key Generation Algorithm to Rebalanced-RSA and RPower-RSA by İsrafil Okumuş, Ercan Celık

“…A theoretical analysis of all variants, including the proposed modifications, demonstrates that these key generation algorithms improve the encryption process compared to the original variants, and since the encryption key size and one of the decryption key sizes are approximately equal in length, they achieve a more balanced computational effort between encryption and decryption.…”

Dirac Equation on the Torus and Rationally Extended Trigonometric Potentials within Supersymmetric QM by Özlem Yeşiltaş

“…Supersymmetric quantum mechanics techniques are used to get the extended potentials when the inner and outer radii of the torus are both equal and inequal. In addition, using the aspects of the Lie algebraic approaches, the iso(2,1) algebra is also applied to the system where we have arrived at the spectrum solutions of the extended potentials using the Casimir operator that matches with the results of the exact solutions.…”

Complete Homogeneous Symmetric Polynomials with Repeating Variables by Luis Angel González-Serrano, Egor A. Maximenko

“…We represent such polynomials as linear combinations of the powers of the variables, where all exponents are equal to the degree of the original polynomial. We give two proofs for the proposed formulas: the first proof uses the decomposition of the generating function into partial fractions, and the second involves the inverse of the confluent Vandermonde matrix. …”
