University proceedings. Volga region. Natural sciences by E.G. Khudonogova, T.A. Khusheyeva

“…The largest number of buds that have not blossomed by September 25 was noted in the Orange King variety, the buds of this variety are large and form more slowly compared to the Marigold variety of calendula and C. officinalis. Conclusions. The optimal time for sowing Calendula seeds, in the conditions of the Cis-Baikal region, is the beginning of May (May 1–11), later sowing of seeds (May 20) leads to late flowering of plants, a delay in the opening of buds and a decrease in the yield of raw inflorescences. …”

Repair-oriented design and manufacturing strategies for circular electronic products, from mass customization/standardization to scalable repair economy by Bahram Ipaki, Zohrehsadat Hosseini

C-parameter version of robust bounded one-class support vector classification by Junyou Ye, Zhixia Yang, Yongxing Hu, Zheng Zhang

“…To enhance the anti-noise and anti-outlier abilities of C-BOCSVC, the alternative robust version (C-RBOCSVC) is also developed, which incorporates the k-nearest neighbor relative density to assign varying weights to observations and mitigate the negative impact of outliers on the optimal decision boundary. The theoretical properties of the proposed method are successively derived, including the relationship between the solutions to the primal and dual problems, the connections between our C-BOCSVC and $$\nu$$ -OCSVC and the computational complexity. …”
