Ecological Drivers of Molt‐Breeding Overlap, an Unusual Life‐History Strategy of Small‐Island Birds? by Christopher C. De Ruyck, Nicola Koper

“…We evaluated three hypotheses explaining drivers of molt‐breeding overlap (constraints on molt rate, unpredictable food abundance, and limited duration of food abundance), and suggest that widespread overlap in small‐island tropical communities may be the result of generalist foraging adaptations and restricted time periods of sufficient invertebrate availability for successful breeding and molt to occur. …”

Formation and development of the Acquis Communautaire in France, Germany and Switzerland: A comparative legal analysis by N. O. Rastorhuieva

“…Furthermore, the similarity of these processes in France and Germany is rooted in their participation in the creation and development of the European Communities, in the formation of the acquis and its identical legal sources, and the difference lies in the motives and objectives of these States, their positions in certain areas of common European policy and procedural activities related to the implementation of the acquis into national legislation. At the same time, the article reveals that the specifics of formation and development of the European Union acquis in Switzerland are determined by its status as an associated country in the Union, which provides for the possibility of implementing the relevant acquis with certain exceptions on the basis of sectoral agreements between it and the European Union. …”

Robust Control of Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System Using Grey Wolf Optimizer-Based Nonlinear Disturbance Observer and H-Infinity Controller by Yong Dai, Defeng Wu, Shuanghe Yu, Yan Yan

“…To the best of our knowledge, the conventional H∞ robust controller is generally designed by calculating the Riccati equation offline and ignoring the constraints of control inputs made by the physical actuators, which are poor in handling the time-varying environment. In order to solve these issues, the modified constrained H∞ robust controller online optimized by grey wolf optimizer (GWO) is designed to ensure the control system has a compensation of the biased estimation, a satisfied constrained control input, and a fast calculation. …”

Older People's Perceptions of Well-Being by I.V. Vasileva, M.V. Chumakov

“…In elderly people, the semantic group &ldquo;emotions&rdquo; belongs to the core ideas, and the associative group &ldquo;health&rdquo; belongs to the middle zone together with the groups &ldquo;employment&rdquo;, &ldquo;material wealth&rdquo;, &ldquo;family&rdquo;. At the same time, this does not indicate a lower significance of the associative group &ldquo;health&rdquo;, since the semantic group &ldquo;emotions&rdquo; collects its high rank only through a set of different emotions. …”
