A two-patch prey-predator model with predator dispersal driven by the predation strength by Yun Kang, Sourav Kumar Sasmal, Komi Messan

“…Our analytical results combined with bifurcation diagrams suggest that: (1) dispersal may stabilize or destabilize the coupled system; (2) dispersal may generate multiple interior equilibria that lead to rich bistable dynamics or may destroy interior equilibria that lead to the extinction of predator in one patch or both patches; (3) Under certain conditions, the large dispersal can promote the permanence of the system. …”

Source-independent quantum random number generators with integrated silicon photonics by Yongqiang Du, Xin Hua, Zhengeng Zhao, Xiaoran Sun, Zhenrong Zhang, Xi Xiao, Kejin Wei

“…Our SI-QRNG system achieves a low error rate of only 0.21%, thanks to the inherent stability of the silicon-based decoder chip and its excellent polarization extinction ratio. Additionally, by using a laser with a higher repetition rate and a robust simulation model, we achieve the highest quantum random number generation rate of 9.49 Mbits per second. …”

Analysis of geotourism system in Firoozkouh township and presentation of its development model from the perspective of geopark capability by somayeh jahantigh mand, amir karam, ezat ghanavati

“…The results show that most of the geosites in the region, despite their high representation, educational potential, and aesthetic value, have a weak connection with the local community, and their vulnerability and risk of extinction are increasing. Also, from the perspective of assessing the geopark capabilities, it was determined that this county currently does not have the capability to become an independent geopark. …”
