The Enigma of the Tinnitus-Free Dream State in a Bayesian World by Dirk De Ridder, Kathleen Joos, Sven Vanneste

“…Tinnitus is hypothesized to be the result of a prediction error due to deafferentation, and missing input is filled in by the brain. The heuristic explanation then is that in the dream state there is no interaction with the environment and therefore no updating of the prediction error, resulting in the absence of tinnitus.…”

A Game-Theoretic Approach for the Robust Daily Aircraft Routing Problem by Bin Deng, Hao Guo, Jingfeng Li, Junfeng Huang, Kaiyi Tang, Weidong Li

“…Then, in order to find the suboptimal solution to a large-scale integer programming problem in a limited amount of time, a heuristic algorithm integrating a column generation algorithm and variable domain search is introduced. …”

Using Gaussian Processes for Metamodeling in Robust Optimization Problems by Claudemir Mota da Cruz, Fran Sérgio Lobato, Gustavo Barbosa Libotte

“…The cases are modeled as robust optimization problems, where the objective function is estimated by a Gaussian Process and the optimization procedure uses a population meta-heuristic. The results indicate that the proposed approach is effective in reducing the number of objective function evaluations required to obtain a robust solution, with no significant statistical differences in the quality of solutions achieved. …”

Scheduling-Based Optimization for Motion Coordination of Autonomous Vehicles at Multilane Intersections by Mehmet Ali Guney, Ioannis A. Raptis

“…A model- and optimization-based heuristic method is employed to compute the control policy that results in the collision-free motion of the vehicles at the intersection and, at the same time, minimizes their delay. …”

Candidate SNP markers of social dominance, which may affect the affinity of the TATAbinding protein for human gene promoters by I. V. Chadaeva, D. A. Rasskazov, E. B. Sharypova, L. K. Savinkova, P. M. Ponomarenko, M. P. Ponomarenko

“…The following heuristic hypothesis has been proposed: if an excess of a protein in several animal organs was experimentally identified as physiological marker of increased aggressiveness and if a polymorphism (SNP) can cause superexpression of the human gene homologous of the animal gene encoding this protein, then this polymorphism can be a candidate SNP marker of social dominance, whereas a deficient expression corresponds to subordinate and vice versa. …”

Precursor-Like Anomalies prior to the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake: A Critical-but-Constructive Review by Tengfei Ma, Zhongliang Wu

“…These retrospective case studies would have provided heuristic clues about the preparation process of this inland great earthquake and the predictability of this destructive event if the standards for the rigorous test of earthquake forecast schemes were strictly observed. …”

Pietism and War by Krzysztof Gładkowski

“…The context in which Pietism emerged was that of the above-mentioned wars, but also of migrations, which makes Pietism heuristically relevant even today, given the many wars and refugees in situations of political and religious tension. …”

Les trajectoires dans le temps: réflexion sur le concept de « régime d’historicité » by Maxime Raymond-Dufour

“…This paper offers a critical take on the conceptual framework of "régime d'historicité" as understood by François Hartog in his book Régimes d’historicité : Présentisme et expérience du temps. Although heuristically useful, the "régime d'historicité" can generate conceptual problems when one tries to qualify with precision the experience of temporality in human societies. …”

Créer des formes, inventer des faires by Fabienne Wateau

“…Their forms were chosen to render certain anthropological themes in a different format, by exploring their effects, by intending them for certain uses or audiences, by questioning them to bring out possible heuristic avenues. I will discuss the following: my theatrical play that served as a research tool, based on verbatim statements made by my interlocutors, published in On ne badine pas avec le progrès (2016)—a six-minute image montage is attached to it; an ongoing mixed-technique project, based on photograph colourisation linked with words extracted from the field, presented with some initial colour plates; and a retrospective examination of experimental screenings of two films in November 2022. …”

Assessing and Advancing Research on Tourism Gentrification by Kevin Fox Gotham

“…I next discuss the various scholarly reactions to my concept and delineate the ways in which researchers around the world have engaged my research to fashion new theories and understandings of the interconnection of tourism and gentrification. As a heuristic device, tourism gentrification focuses theoretical and analytical attention on how the interlocking nature of consumption-led economic growth, cultural identities linked to gentrifier status, and global circulations of real estate financing can produce unique local configurations of tourism and gentrification. …”
