Social Network Analysis of Ancient Japanese Obsidian Artifacts Reflecting Sampling Bias Reduction by Sakahira, Fumihiro, Tsumura, Hiroomi

“…This study aims to investigate the dynamics of obsidian trade networks during the Jomon period (15,000–2,400 years cal BP), the hunting and gathering era in Japan. To improve regional representation and reduce the distortions caused by small sample sizes, we performed clustering based on a large-scale dataset and conducted social network analysis. …”

Parameter Estimation of the Photovoltaic System Using Bald Eagle Search (BES) Algorithm by Ndongmo Fotsa Nicaire, Perabi Ngoffe Steve, Ndjakomo Essiane Salome, Abessolo Ondoua Grégroire

“…Hence, to extract these parameters reliably and accurately, this paper presents an optimization method based on the principle of bald eagle search (BES) during fish hunting. This search is divided into three steps: in the first stage (space selection), the eagle selects the space with the largest number of prey; in the second stage (space search), the eagle moves into the selected space to search for prey; in the third stage (dive), the eagle swings from the best position identified in the second stage and determines the best point to hunt. …”
