Moor: Model-based offline policy optimization with a risk dynamics model by Xiaolong Su, Peng Li, Shaofei Chen

“…In this work, we propose a model-based offline policy optimization approach with a risk dynamics model (MOOR). Specifically, we construct a risk dynamics model using a quantile network that can learn the risk information of data, then we reshape model-generated data based on errors of the risk dynamics model and the risk information of data. …”

(SPT-)LSM theorems from projective non-invertible symmetries by Salvatore D. Pace, Ho Tat Lam, and Ömer M. Aksoy

“…When this condition is not met, we prove an SPT-LSM theorem: any unique and gapped ground state is necessarily a non-invertible weak symmetry protected topological (SPT) state with non-trivial entanglement, for which we construct an example fixed-point Hamiltonian. The projectivity also affects the dual symmetries after gauging $\mathsf{Rep}(G)× Z(G)$ sub-symmetries, giving rise to non-Abelian and non-invertible dipole symmetries, as well as non-invertible translations. …”

Application of Random Dynamic Grouping Simulation Algorithm in PE Teaching Evaluation by Haitao Hao

“…Because of the independence of the stochastic simulation solution method, it is applied to the “bottom-up” evaluation model as an example, and a novel autonomous evaluation method is constructed. Finally, the application of the stochastic simulation evaluation model is illustrated by an example and compared with the absolute form evaluation. …”

The quest for self in Italian secondary schools: Bridging literature and philosophy by Giacomo Romano

“…Recent studies support the hypothesis that a subject finds complete identity only within a narrative dimension, through a personal internalised story that one constructs about oneself, driven by the need to recognise oneself as the subject of one’s experiences and the agent of one’s actions. …”

Preparation of Modified Carbon Nanotube Polyvinylidene Fluoride Composite Film and Its Application in Packaging Design by Feng Yuan, Sen Li

“…Among them, the photomechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, the relationship between the composition of the composite material and the dielectric properties, the dielectric response and relaxation behavior, the hydrophilicity of the composite membrane, and the membrane separation technology were discussed, and the carbon nanotubes were constructed. Incorporating carbon nanotubes into carbon fiber hybrid materials, and combining carbon nanotubes with polymer materials, works extremely well. …”

Cognitive deficits persisting in patients with alcohol dependence syndrome after detoxification by Ankur Sachdeva, Mina Chandra, Shilpa Khullar, Syed Zafar Abbas

“…However, most of the subjects had subtle cognitive deficits which may fall within the realm of ARCD, mainly in domains of attention/concentration, recall, language, and visuo-constructional skills (P < 0.05). The cognitive deficits correlated with duration and severity of alcohol dependence (P < 0.05), however, were independent of daily alcohol quantity. …”

Evaluation of Building Seismic Capacity Based on Improved Naive Bayesian Algorithm by Yalong Li, Wei Wang, Bin Tan, Hongxia Wang

“…On the basis of the Spearman correlation coefficient calculation of the index, the improved naive Bayesian algorithm is combined with the importance of the index to build a judgment model for the seismic capacity of housing buildings. The sample set is constructed based on the judgment system with the basic data of some housing buildings in Huoshan County. …”

Prendersi ‘gentilmente’ sul serio. Un’intima curvatura riflessiva sull’etnografia nella lotta e la co-costruzione di intenzionalità sul campo by Sabina Tosi Cambini

“…Staying inside people's life contexts to understand them and 'act' with them, has also made projects 'flesh': taking their daily lives 'seriously', their hesitations, fears, discontinuities, permanent uncertainty, the intentionality of the anthropologist and of the subjects has changed over time and reciprocally – since the people themselves have taken my proposals 'seriously' –, co-constructing the intentionality itself through paths that are anything but linear. …”

PCA-FSA-MLR Model and Its Application in Runoff Forecast by GUO Cunwen, CUI Dongwen

“…To improve the accuracy of runoff forecast,and establish a runoff forecast model combining principal component analysis (PCA),future search algorithm (FSA),and multiple linear regression (MLR),this paper reduces the dimensionality of the sample data by PCA,selects 8 standard test functions and simulates and verifies FSA under different dimensional conditions,optimizes MLR constant terms and partial regression coefficients by FSA,proposes a PCA-FSA-MLR runoff forecast model,constructs PCA-LS-MLR,PCA-FSA-SVM,and PCA-SVM models with dimensionality reduction processing by PCA and FSA-MLR,LS-MLR,FSA-SVM,and SVM without dimensionality reduction processing as a comparison model,and verifies each model through forecasting the annual runoff and monthly runoff in December of Longtan station in Yunnan Province.The results show that:①FSA has better optimization accuracy and global extremum search ability under different dimensional conditions;②The average absolute relative error of the annual runoff and monthly runoff in December of Longtan station through PCA-FSA-MLR model are 1.63% and 3.91% respectively,and its forecast accuracy is better than the other 7 models,with higher forecast accuracy and stronger generalization ability;③For the same model,the forecast accuracy after dimensionality reduction processing by PCA is better than that without dimensionality reduction processing,so the data dimensionality reduction by PCA is helpful to improve the forecast accuracy of models.…”

Extract from the Writings of Jean Alexandre Buchon and Spiridon Palauzov: In Search of National Dignity by Raia Zaimova

“…The writings of French 17th century historian of Byzantium Charles Dufresne Du Cange and the chronicles of the Crusades and the Latin Empire serve as a pretext and a reliable historical basis, expanded and enriched by Jean-Alexandre Buchon (1791–1846) with the purpose of constructing a modern French identity. Devoted to eighteenth-century ideas and the Romantic movement in historiography, Buchon researched and published chronicles and other medieval sources. …”
