Path Planning of Multirotor UAV Based on the Improved Ant Colony Algorithm by Duo Qi, Zhihao Zhang, Qirui Zhang

“…Path planning is an important part of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to realize its autonomous capabilities. Aiming at the shortcomings of the traditional ant colony algorithm-based trajectory planning method, which has slow convergence speed and easy to fall into the local optimum, a path planning method based on the improved ant colony algorithm is proposed. …”

Gambling in Spain: the need for a geographical perspective by Arsenio Villar Lama, David Fiedor, Miguel García Martín, Miloslav Šerý

“…A variety of statistical and legal sources are treated to establish three levels of analysis: first, the position of games of chance and gambling in Spain in the international context; second, location patterns in Spain at the regional level, and third, the spatial aspects of the different legal norms at the autonomous community level. To conclude, games of chance and gambling are a deep-rooted form of recreation in Spain and offer interesting lines of geographical research, although it would be desirable for the quality, variety, and accessibility of data to be improved. …”
