Arbitration in Administrative Affairs: The Enlargement Scope of Ratione Materiae in Portugal by Marta Portocarrero

“… The purpose of this article is to address the question of arbitrability of administrative conflicts, generally and as characteristic of Portugal. Although the use of arbitration in conflicts where public entities intervene in private relationships is usually allowed, European legislatures commonly consider administrative disputes as a type of controversy excluded from arbitration. …”

Optimization of high-dimensional expensive multi-objective problems using multi-mode radial basis functions by Jiangtao Shen, Xinjing Wang, Ruixuan He, Ye Tian, Wenxin Wang, Peng Wang, Zhiwen Wen

“…Abstract Numerous surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms are developed for multi-objective expensive problems with low dimensions, but scarce works have paid attention to that with high dimensions, i.e., generally more than 30 decision variables. In this paper, we propose a multi-mode radial basis functions-assisted evolutionary algorithm (MMRAEA) for solving high-dimensional expensive multi-objective optimization problems. …”

Noise-Aware Quantum Amplitude Estimation by Steven Herbert, Ifan Williams, Roland Guichard, Darren Ng

“…We also show that the proposed Gaussian noise model can be easily composed with other noise models in order to capture effects that are not well described by Gaussian noise. We give a generalized procedure for how to embed this noise model into any quantum-phase-estimation-free quantum amplitude estimation algorithm, such that the amplitude estimation is “noise aware.…”

Toward the Reconstruction of Substorm‐Related Dynamical Pattern of the Radiowave Auroral Absorption by V. A. Sergeev, M. A. Shukhtina, N. A. Stepanov, D. D. Rogov, A. V. Nikolaev, E. Spanswick, E. Donovan, T. Raita, A. Kero

“…Using global riometer network we test the method performance for stations in the middle of auroral zone (at corrected geomagnetic latitudes of 65–67°) where generally the absorption amplitude is largest. In this paper we use the midlatitude positive bay index, recently developed by X. …”

Preserving data privacy in social recommendation by Shu-shu LIU, An LIU, Lei ZHAO, Guan-feng LIU, Zhi-xu LI, Kai ZHENG, Xiao-fang ZHOU

“…Social recommendation is a method which requires the participants of both user’s historical behavior data and social network,which generally belong to different parties,such as recommendation system service provider and social network service provider.Considering the fact that in order to maintain the value of their own data interests and user’s privacy,none of them will provide data information to the other,two privacy preserving protocols are proposed for efficient computation of social recommendation which needs the cooperation of two parties (recommendation system service provider and social network service provider).Both protocols enable two parties to compute the social recommendation without revealing their private data to each other.The protocol based on the well-known oblivious transfer multiplication has a low cost,and is suitable for the application of high efficiency requirements.And the one based on homomorphic cryptosystem has a better privacy preserving,and is more suitable for the application of higher data privacy requirements.Experimental results on the four real datasets show those two protocols are efficient and practical.Users are suggested to choose the appropriate protocol according to their own need.…”

“…Neither the BSR nor EAR based forecasts showed skill over climatology in the traditional sense, but using signal detection techniques these indexes were skillful at predicting the onset of anomalous temperature conditions (greater than two standard deviations) in the central USA. The BSR generally produced better results that the EAR and formulae for each index are proposed. …”

“…This study identified nine groups of self-management strategies, some of which could not be categorized under the three main self-management components generally accepted in the literature. Accordingly, a new component is proposed based off of this analysis, entitled management of social complexities, which includes crucial strategies such as (1) relocating to another environment, (2) behaving in an assertive manner, and (3) advocating for social change. …”
