 Financial portfolio management aims to allocate resources for optimal returns while mitigating risk. Traditional methods based on assumptions like normal return distributions and simplistic risk measures have limitations. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) combines deep learning for feature representation and reinforcement learning for optimal...

 This paper presents one algorithm for choosing optimal solution from a bivariant time series database. The presented algorithm uses a similarity measure to compare each object in the database to a specific suitable object. The proposed method is useful when dealing with multidimensional time series data, e.g., bi-variant time series, where c...

 Aluminium and silicon particles in fuel known as “cat fines” are catalytic residues from the refinery process. They can cause mechanical damage to fuel pumps, injectors, piston rings and cylinder liners. They are very hard and highly abrasive, thus causing abrasive wear to main engine components. These impurities in marine fuel mu...

 This research focuses on the dynamics of electron behavior during the laserinduced breakdown (LIB) in skin tissues, pivotal for plasma generation in biomedical contexts. Through a numerical analysis centered on high-intensity Nd:YAG laser pulses within the 500–1000 nm wavelength range and a 10 ns pulse duration, we explore the balance ...
