TDOA-based WSN localization with hybrid covariance matrix adaptive evolutionary strategy and gradient descent distance techniques by V.G. Saranya, S. Karthik

“…The hybrid method produced an Average Localization Error (ALE) much lower than existing techniques, illustrating its resilience in noisy conditions. Our hybrid TDOA-CMAES-GDD localization system is good for real-time WSN applications that need to quickly and accurately locate nodes because it reduces the time it takes to calculate and improves its accuracy. …”

A Computational Framework for Optimal Adaptive Function Allocation in a Human-Autonomy Teaming Scenario by Sooyung Byeon, Joonwon Choi, Inseok Hwang

“…For the optimization, we utilize performance metrics such as task performance, human mental workload, and coherency in function allocations. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we present a simulated HAT scenario involving a human work model and drone fleet for last-mile delivery in disaster relief operations.…”

On the human nature (following in the steps of Belyaev) by A. L. Markel

“…The point of genome-culture co-evolution is well illustrated by niche construction theory. It is emphasized that the evolution of culture, which is widely regarded as a non-biological phenomenon, is quite similar in all its respects to the Darwinian process, as a result of which a sociocultural environment that is adaptive for a given community is formed through selection and transmission in a series of generations. …”

SOCIOLOGY AS A TOOL OF “PEDAGOGICAL INTELLIGENCE” by A. L. Andreev

“…In this connection, the need for compulsory systematic sociological support of the educational process increases: sociological research acts as a kind of “pedagogical intelligence” tool, with the help of which the parameters of a meaningful adjustment of the Humanities education are identified and its final social efficiency is diagnosed. This thesis is illustrated by the example of such a mandatory discipline studied at Russian higher school as History. …”

Principles of Introducing the Institution of Mediation in Public Legal Disputes in Ukraine by K. S. Tokarieva

“…Administrative and legal regulation of mediation in the study has been understood as the purposeful influence of the state, its agencies and officials on relations arising in the field of mediation, in order to achieve stability, law and order through the use of legal means (legal norms, legal principles, legal facts, etc.) for establishing the extent of possible and necessary behavior of mediation subjects. The article illustrates the division of principles as legal means of administrative and legal regulation of mediation into general and special ones. …”

Aesthetic and Mechanical Suitability of a Clear Synthetic Resin as a Unconventional Binder for Road Pavements by Marco Pasetto, Andrea Baliello, Giovanni Giacomello, Emiliano Pasquini

“…The use of clear synthetic resin as a binder involves several benefits for the mitigation of in-service reached temperatures and the heat distribution within pavements (with appreciable effects on pavement mechanical performance too). The present paper illustrates an experimental study aimed at analysing the chromatic and mechanical properties of a clear synthetic resin and thus its suitability as a binder for road pavement mixes. …”
