A novel myocarditis detection combining deep reinforcement learning and an improved differential evolution algorithm by Jing Yang, Touseef Sadiq, Jiale Xiong, Muhammad Awais, Uzair Aslam Bhatti, Roohallah Alizadehsani, Juan Manuel Gorriz

“…To address this, the training process is framed as a sequential decision‐making process, where the agent receives higher rewards/penalties for correctly/incorrectly classifying the minority/majority class. Additionally, the authors suggest an enhanced DE algorithm to initiate the backpropagation (BP) process, overcoming the initialisation sensitivity issue of gradient‐based methods like back‐propagation during the training phase. …”

An Evaluation on Library Cooperation in Türkey by Mehmet E. Küçük, Umut Al, Gülterı Alır, İrem Soydal, Yurdagül Ünal

“…To determine the present situation, the Turkish National Library, General Directorate of Lib­raries and Publications, National Academic Network and Information Centr, and some special and school libraries in Ankara, Ministry of National Education, university libraries, consortia, and professional associations are examined, and the data gathered from literatüre and interviews are evaluated. in conclusion, it has been observed that in recent years, co-operation ejfort has gained momentum, two consortia hav e emer ged to provide access to the electronic information sources, document delivery projects between university libraries have been started, but efforts in some practicable fields of co-operati­on, such as preparing union catalogues, sharing bibliographic data, and develo- ping authority fileş have been unsuccessful. It has also been observed that there is lack of co-operation except among university libraries, and that institutions havefailed in establishing a “common wisdom” and cotısequently in developing the skills of planning and organisation. lnadequacy of resources, legislation, and infrastructure, and most impor- tantly the lack of dedication resulted in discontinuity of the ongoing projects and the production of the new ones.…”

Development of Refined Electromagnetic Models of Reciprocating Electric Generators with Permanent Magnets by A. B. Menzhinski, A. N. Malashin, P. B. Menzhinski

“…In this regard, to improve the accuracy of calculations of the parameters of electric generators of reciprocating motion with permanent magnets, it is proposed to use refining coefficients (coefficients of scattering and buckling of the magnetic flux) in mathematical models based on the theory of magnetic circuits. The authors have developed refined electromagnetic models of electric generators of reciprocating motion with permanent magnets, which make it possible to obtain the main parameters of generators at the initial stages of electromagnetic calculation and when solving optimization problems with acceptable accuracy. …”
