Comparative Analysis of Polymer-Enhanced and Conventional Magnetorheological Fluids in E-Bicycle Semi-Active Suspension
Abstract: In light of the increased use of electric bicycles as a sustainable transport means, various mechanical challenges emerge which were absent in traditional bicycles, primarily concerning vibration isolation and riding comfort. Indeed, hub motors, batteries and the entire drivetrain system produce dynamic excitations which passive suspension cannot handle effectively. This paper presents a comparison of conventional magnetorheological (MR) fluid and the polymer-based MR nanocomposite fluid within the context of semi-active …

A Factorial Investigation of Hyperparameter Tuning Strategies for Lasso- Based Genomic Prediction
Abstract: In an earlier comparative study of machine-learning methods for genomic prediction of wheat grain yield, we reported a counter-intuitive result: automated nested-cross-validation tuning of the Lasso regularization penalty reduced mean predictive ability relative to a fixed, arbitrarily chosen penalty (mean Pearson r falling from 0.408 to 0.349 across four environments), the opposite of the expected effect of hyperparameter tuning. We hypothesized two possible explanations at the time — high-variance penalty …

A Mathematical Perspective on Recent Cloud-Computing Trends for Scalable and Secure Social-Media Platforms
Abstract: Cloud computing underpins modern social-media platforms by providing elastic compute, storage, and data-processing pipelines capable of absorbing highly bursty workloads. This paper surveys recent cloud-native trends—serverless and event-driven design, container orchestration, edge/CDN offload, streaming analytics, and privacy-enhancing security controls—and formalizes their impact through a compact mathematical model. We express workload volatility using arrival-rate functions, use queueing-based capacity sizing to derive auto-scaling rules, and formulate an optimization objective that balances cost …

Resilient Shell-Based Frameworks for Edge and IoT Systems: A Comprehensive Analysis of Lightweight Automation in Distributed Environments
Abstract: Edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) deployments require automation solutions that minimize resource use while supporting real-time processing and intermittent connectivity. This study investigates shell-based frameworks for managing distributed edge and IoT systems, with emphasis on sensor integration, live monitoring, and fault recovery. Drawing from 200 real-world deployment cases across smart city, healthcare, and industrial domains, the analysis compares shell scripting directly against containerized approaches (e.g., Docker with lightweight …
