Rapid life-history evolution reinforces competitive asymmetry between invasive and resident species by Chapuis, Elodie, Jarne, Philippe, David, Patrice

“…Though apparently paradoxical, this result supports the hypothesis that rapid life-history evolution has allowed A. marmorata not to resist competition, but to avoid it by increasing its specialization into the colonizer lifestyle previously documented by long-term field surveys. This example illustrates how evolution, in accordance with metacommunity coexistence theory, sometimes takes other ways than specialization into distinct types of resources or habitats to ensure coexistence between related species inhabiting the same landscape.…”

A Deep Q-Learning Algorithm With Guaranteed Convergence for Distributed and Uncoordinated Operation of Cognitive Radios by Ankita Tondwalkar, Andres Kwasinski

“…The key challenge that is addressed in this work is that of a non-stationary reinforcement learning environment that arises from the uncoordinated and distributed radios operation over a shared wireless environment. This challenge is illustrated by presenting a simulation result where the use of a standard single-agent deep reinforcement learning approach does not achieve convergence because of being applied in the uncoordinated interacting multi-radio scenario. …”

Modeling to medical and economic data using: The transmuted power unit inverse Lindley distribution by Eman A. Eldessouky, Osama H. Mahmoud Hassan, Badr Aloraini, Ibrahim Elbatal

“…The proposed distribution was applied to two real datasets from biomedical and economic sciences to illustrate its practical utility. The goodness-of-fit was assessed through multiple measures, revealing that the TPUILD offers a markedly superior fit in comparison to the inverse Topp-Leone, power XLindley, truncated power Lomax, truncated Weibull, exponential Pareto, Kumaraswamy Kumaraswamy, exponentiated Kumaraswamy, and Marshall–Olkin Kumaraswamy models. distributions. …”

Deformation and strengthening behavior of Al-Cu-based alloys at ambient and elevated temperatures by Mehran Shahhosseininia, Mohammadreza Zamani

“…The fine-grain size of the Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy indicated higher values of YS and UTS with a ductile behavior. SEM images illustrated that as-cast and heat-treated Al-Cu-Mg and Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys underwent a brittle deformation with intergranular-transgranular fracture mechanisms at ambient temperature. …”
