Social Contribution-Based Routing Protocol for Vehicular Network with Selfish Nodes by Haigang Gong, Lingfei Yu, Xue Zhang

“…The node with higher delivery probability and lower social contributions is the preferred candidate for the next hop. Simulation results show that SCR achieves better performance than other social routing protocols with the incentive scheme.…”

Integrating Qualitative Comparative Analysis With Reflexive Thematic Analysis in Theme Development by Yi Sun, Jasper Hsieh, Xuesong (Andy) Gao

“…We demonstrate how novice researchers can develop codes and categories, use qualitative comparative analysis to facilitate the exploration of the complex causal relationships between categories, and construct candidate themes based on these analyses. We then show how novice researchers can continue developing these themes by creating relationships between codes and categories on the basis of qualitative data and existing literature. …”

MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF DECISION-MAKING BY OWNERS OF APARTMENT BUILDINGS ON THE CHOICE OF MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION by A. V. Demin, I. V. Rybalchenko, I. V. Milkina

“…At the same time, the ratings proposed for state accounting or statistics cannot be applied by owners to select the best candidate, since they have other goals. The limited applicability of these ratings and criteria systems has been argued in the article, and also well-grounded approaches and a new system of criteria necessary to resolve the selection problem have been proposed.…”

The Interplay Between Loss Functions and Structural Constraints in Dependency Parsing by Robin Kurtz, Marco Kuhlmann

“…Several of the decoding algorithms that have been applied to this task employ structural restrictions on candidate solutions, such as the restriction to projective dependency trees in syntactic parsing, or the restriction to noncrossing graphs in semantic parsing. …”

Research on the subtractive clustering algorithm for mobile ad hoc network based on the Akaike information criterion by Liu Banteng, Haibo Yang, Qiuxia Chen, Zhangquan Wang

“…Then, subtractive clustering algorithm is used in mobile ad hoc networks to get several feasible clustering schemes. Finally, the candidate schemes are evaluated by the index of minimum of the largest within-cluster distance variance to determine the optimal scheme. …”

Optimal vaccination strategies for an SEIR model of infectious diseases with logistic growth by Markus Thäter, Kurt Chudej, Hans Josef Pesch

“…After presenting the new model and implementing the optimal control problems by means of a first-discretize-then-optimize method, numerical results for six scenarios are discussed and compared to an analytical optimal control law based on Pontrygin's minimum principle that allows to verify these results as approximations of candidate optimal solutions.…”

A Self-Adaptive and Link-Aware Beaconless Forwarding Protocol for VANETs by Changle Li, Yun Chen, Xiaolei Han, Lina Zhu

“…Based on the receiver based forwarding (RBF) scheme, SLBF designs a self-adaptive forwarding zone which is used to make the candidate nodes accurate. Furthermore, it proposes a comprehensive algorithm to calculate the waiting time by taking the greedy strategy, link quality, and the traffic load into account. …”

“What if a Person Gets the Vaccine and Turns into an Alligator?”: A Study of the Effect of Ideological Polarization on Purchase Intention by Eduardo Mesquita, Evandro Luiz Lopes, Eliane Herrero

“…A survey encouraged 206 participants to think that a significant brand would support a political candidate antagonistic to their personal beliefs. We identified the political ideology declared and then measured the hatred generated in this situation, in addition to the regulatory focus (preventive versus promotional), and PI in relation to the brand. …”
