Optimized coverage algorithm of wireless video sensor network based on quantum genetic algorithm by Fu-you FAN, Guo-wu YANG, Qian-qi LE, Feng-mao LV, Chao ZHAO

“…According to the construction needs of the smart city wireless video sensor network,an optimized network coverage algorithm based on quantum genetic algorithm is proposed.The algorithm fits in with complicated monitoring scene which has some different obstacles and different degree of importance.The monitoring region is depicted by two-dimensional discrete grid model,and the discrete grid model is represented by a code description matrix.The directional wireless video sensor is described by a seven-tuples.The mathematical programming model of the coverage problem is obtained by strict mathematical derivation.The optimized coverage algorithm is comprised by IntialDeployment and OptimizedDeployment algorithms,which takes the maximum coverage rate network deployment scheme as the solving goal.The quantum genetic algorithm with reasonable chromosome coding and optimized quantum rotation gate parameter is used to search the solution space,which has a good convergence rate and a fast computation speed.Two limit values of ideal coverage rate and ideal weighted coverage rate are introduced to evaluate the algorithm by the way of relative comparison.The result of simulation experiments and data analyses show that the solutions worked out by the algorithm can well approximate the ideal limit value.When the number of sensor nodes is given,the algorithm can obtain the maximum effective coverage rate.…”

Tourism Potential and Assessment of the Mount Bazarduzu by Mustafayeva Gulnisa, Allahverdiyeva Muslumat, Alizada Narmin, Urinbaev Sh.

“…However, despite this potential of Mount Bazarduzu, its underutilization is due to certain obstacles. When examining the reasons why the tourism potential of Mount Bazarduzu is not fully utilized, we encounter problems such as bureaucratic obstacles, insufficient promotion, lack of qualified personnel in this sector, lack of recognition as a destination, inadequate local and regional transportation infrastructure, lack of museums, limited accommodation options and lack of government incentives for tourism professionals. …”

Prey-Taxis vs. An External Signal: Short-Wave Asymptotic and Stability Analysis by Andrey Morgulis, Karrar H. Malal

“…Both models take into account the capability of the predators to respond to prey density gradients and also to one more signal, the production of which occurs independently of the community state (such a signal can be due to the spatiotemporal inhomogeneity of the environment arising for natural or artificial reasons). We call such a signal external. The models differ to one another through the description of their responses: the first one employs the Patlak–Keller–Segel law for both responses, and the second one employs Cattaneo’s model of heat transfer for both responses following to Dolak and Hillen. …”
