This paper proposes a robust variational framework for decentralized resource allocation under uncertain shared constraints, utilizing a budgeted polyhedral uncertainty set and linear-programming duality to derive a unique, convex equilibrium that guarantees feasibility against disturbances while quantifying the trade-off between resource utilization and protection conservatism.

This paper proposes a modular, three-stage pipeline for mapping heterogeneous security syslogs to a common schema, demonstrating through extensive evaluation on Korean education-sector data that combining structural canonicalization with both local and agent-based semantic matchers significantly improves mapping accuracy while revealing a critical trade-off between precision and deployment latency across different vendor environments.
Epidemiological characteristics of six common respiratory pathogen infections in children in Tongren, China
This retrospective study of 11,910 pediatric patients in Tongren, China, reveals that human rhinovirus is the most prevalent respiratory pathogen overall, while infection rates for influenza A, B, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae increase with age, and distinct seasonal peaks exist for each of the six common pathogens, highlighting the need for age- and season-specific prevention strategies.
Commercial-scale nitrogen-modified atmosphere for the disinfestation of soft wheat stored in big bags
This study demonstrates that a commercial-scale nitrogen-modified atmosphere treatment at 40°C for 3 days effectively achieves 100% mortality of soft wheat pests, including the more tolerant immature stages of *Ephestia kuehniella*, by combining a validated diffusion model with bioassays to optimize disinfestation protocols.
Direct screw fastening in injection-molded thermosets: Influence of screw-in parameters on fatigue strength
This study demonstrates that for direct screw fastening in injection-molded thermosets, where tube rupture is the dominant failure mode, tightening torque and screw-in speed generally have no statistically significant impact on fatigue strength, allowing assembly parameters to be optimized primarily for process robustness and efficiency.
CFRP/Al dissimilar friction stir spot welding assisted by steel mesh sheets and evaluation of fatigue properties
This study demonstrates that incorporating a stainless steel wire mesh interlayer in friction stir spot welding of CFRP/Al dissimilar joints significantly doubles static tensile strength compared to direct joining, although fatigue performance remains comparable across different mesh types due to fracture initiation within the thermally degraded CFRP matrix near the interface.
