This method named Simplex Cosine Method (SCM) is based on the analysis of the angles between the gradient of the objective function and the gradient of each constraint; these angles are found by the application of the simple cosine function. As the traditional Simplex Method (SM), proposed by...

Early numeracy provides the foundation of acquiring mathematical skills that is essential for future academic success. This study examined numerical functional networks in relation to counting and number relational skills in preschoolers at 4 and 6 years of age. The counting and number relational skills...
Kidney fibrosis is regarded as a chronic wound response and tissue remodeling process consequent to a persistent tissue damage. The fibrosis is characterized by excessive extracellular matrix accumulation, fibroblast proliferation and chronic inflammation that leads to loss of tissue architecture and function...
The physical interaction between climate change and ozone depletion is far more complex than previously assumed, and the focus is on understanding this interaction (Tang et al. 2011). Both can work bilaterally, i.e., climate change can cause changes in the ozone layer and vice versa. ...

A crucial aspect of habitat selection is the utilisation of microhabitats, which refers to spatio-temporally discrete areas of varying spatial scales (in ornithological literature between 1 and 707 m2; Morales et al. 2008; Patthey et al. 2012; see Alessandrini et al.2022) that provide ...
