A Bayesian Neural Network-Based Method to Calibrate Microscopic Traffic Simulators by Qinqin Chen, Anning Ni, Chunqin Zhang, Jinghui Wang, Guangnian Xiao, Cenxin Yu

“…The paper proposes a Bayesian neural network (BNN)-based method to calibrate parameters of microscopic traffic simulators, which reduces repeated running of simulations in the calibration and thus significantly improves the calibration efficiency. We use BNN with probability distributions on the weights to quickly predict the simulation results according to the inputs of the parameters to be calibrated. …”

Research on Cold Chain Logistics Distribution Route Based on Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm by Haiou Xiong

“…Meanwhile, the updating mode of traditional pheromone is improved to limit the maximum and minimum pheromone concentration on the road and change the path selection transfer probability. The simulation results and experiment make clear that the IACO algorithm is lower than the chaotic-simulated annealing ant colony algorithm (CSAACO) and the traditional ACO algorithm in terms of convergence speed, logistics transportation distance, and logistics delivery time. …”

Relationship Between Population Size and Habitat Area of Giant Pandas in China by Dongwei Kang

“…Based on this relationship, this study determined that 557.43 km² was the minimum habitat area for maintaining a sustainable survival population of 25 pandas (the minimum population size to ensure sustainable survival with a relatively low extinction probability). This study selected 20 counties and 16 nature reserves containing ≥25 pandas and found that 30.0% of counties and 87.5% of reserves had habitat areas less than 557.43 km². …”

GENETIC CONTROL OF FERTILITY RESTORATION IN CMS LINES OF FLAX (<i>LINUM USITATISSIMUM</i>) by E. A. Porokhovinova

“…Recessive alleles of the genes restoring fertility rft3-2, rft3-3, rft3-6, rft3-7, rft5-2, rft6, rft7 and dominant RFT4-3 determine tubular shape of sterile flowers, and are undesirable for breeding because the probability of cross pollination decreases. Other recessive (alternative) alleles of pollen fertility restoration genes rfo6, rfo6-2, rfo6-3, rfo7 do not affect the corolla’s shape.…”
