Exact mathematical identities are presented between the relevant parameters of droplets displaying circular contact boundary based on flat tilted surfaces. Two of the identities are derived from the force balance, and one from the torque balance. The tilt surfaces cover the full range of inclinations for sessile or pendant drops, including the intermediate case of droplets on a wall (vertical surface). The identities are put under test both by the available solutions of a linear response approximation at small Bond numbers as well as the ones obtained from numerical solutions, making use of the software. The subtleties to obtain certain angle-averages appearing in identities by the numerical solutions are discussed in detail. It is argued how the identities are useful in two respects. First is to replace some unknown values in the Young-Laplace equation by their expressions obtained from the identities. Second is to use the identities to estimate the error for approximate analytical or numerical solutions without any reference to an exact solution.

Under investigation in this paper is the integrable and non-integrable fractional discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchies. The linear dispersion relations, completeness relations, inverse scattering transform, and fractional soliton solutions of the integrable fractional discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy will be explored. The inverse scattering problem will be solved accurately by constructing Gel'fand-Levitan-Marchenko equations and Riemann-Hilbert problem.

Bubbles present in saline water typically exhibit a prolonged lifetime, making them attractive for various engineering processes. Herein, we unveil a transition from delayed bubble coalescence to rapid bursting within about one millisecond in salty solutions. The key aspect in understanding this transition lies in the combined influences of surface deformation and ion surface excess instead of characterizing the ions alone.

This paper introduces a novel approach for the offline estimation of stationary moving average processes, further extending it to efficient online estimation of non-stationary processes. The novelty lies in a unique technique to solve the autocorrelation function matching problem leveraging that the autocorrelation function of a colored noise is equal to the autocorrelation function of the coefficients of the moving average process. This enables the derivation of a system of nonlinear equations to be solved for estimating the model parameters.

Fast and accurate representation of heat transfer in laser powder-bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) is essential for thermo-mechanical analyses. As an example, it benefits the detection of thermal hotspots at the design stage. While traditional physics-based numerical approaches such as the finite element (FE) method are applicable to a wide variety of problems, they are computationally too expensive for PBF-LB/M due to the space- and time-discretization requirements.

Digital health (DH) and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare are rapidly evolving but were addressed synonymously by many healthcare authorities and practitioners. A deep understanding and clarification of these concepts are fundamental and a prerequisite for developing robust frameworks and practical guidelines to ensure the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of DH solutions and AI-embedded technologies. Categorizing DH into technologies (DHTs) and services (DHSs) enables regulatory, HTA, and reimbursement bodies to develop category-specific frameworks and guidelines for evaluating these solutions effectively.
