A Search Method of NN Reducer’s Transmission Ratio by Yifei Lin, Honghua Zhao, Hongkai Wang, Yan Hu, shouyin Lu, Hui Zhang

“…An adaptive differential evolution algorithm is improved， and the forced intervention differential evolution algorithm based on the change of the optimal trait is proposed， which adjusts the mutation operator timely based on the change process of the optimal trait in each evolutionary period. Taking the solution of the maximum transmission ratio as an example and based on the global search results， the possibility of using differential evolution algorithm to solve the transmission ratio problem of NN reducer is verified.…”

Population Consequences of Parent-Offspring Competition: An Individual-Based Model by Janusz Uchmański

“…Persistence of a population is increased by all forms of competition between individuals not weakened by any environmental factors (e.g. diversification of resources of competing individuals) or factors arising from evolutionary history of the species (e.g. mother’s care) and related in an appropriate way to the mechanism shaping individual variability in the population. …”

A morpho-histological analysis of the exoskeleton of Clathrozoella medeae (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) reveals insights into the taxonomy of Clathrozoellidae and Hydroidolina by María A. Mendoza-Becerril, Antonio C. Marques

“…These results have significant implications for the taxonomy and evolutionary relationships of Clathrozoellidae and Hydroidolina, as they highlight the importance of detailed histological data in understanding the unique exoskeletal architecture of C. medeae, termed “exoskeleton tube”, which distinguishes it from other hydroids, and provide critical insights into the homology and phylogenetic position of Clathrozoellidae.…”

Accepting change as part of organisational life by Yolandi Slabbert

“… This article proposes a new concept, co-change-orientated communication (co-COC), which encapsulates the daily social and communication processes of organisational members in making sense of change from a critical strategic communication perspective. Guided by an evolutionary approach to concept development, this article aims to quantitatively measure the pragmatic relevance of identified attributes and antecedents of co-COC to the development of a fully-fledged concept at six high-change South African organisations. …”
