Modern Approaches to the Assessment of Productive Qualities of Sheep of Ascania Fine-Wool Breed by Olena Karatieieva, Vadim Posukhin

“…Calculations of the entropy-information analysis of live weight and wool length showed that the young stock of the Askanian fine-wool breed, in terms of the level of organization of systems, was characterized by ambiguous data on the organization of the system and relative entropy, which indicates sufficient disorganization of the system and provides opportunities for selection, has the potential to increase productivity. At the same time, sexual demorphism in the manifestation of signs of entropy was revealed, so the ewes of all experimental groups tended to reduce the level of unconditional entpropy. …”

Personality, opinion strength, and social media use – not such a straightforward relationship by Melissa Cox, Bernadine Cocks, Susan E. Watt, Elizabeth C. Temple

“…When all social issues were combined to measure overall progressive opinions, openness and extraversion predicted opinion direction, and openness predicted opinion strength. Time spent on social media significantly predicted direction of opinions on several issues, as well as strength of opinion on the issue of gender equality, however it did not moderate any relationship between personality and opinion direction or strength.Conclusions Although opinions, personality, and social media use are sometimes related, individuals high or low in particular personality traits are at no greater risk of polarising due to social media use than anyone else.…”

Dynamic graph structure and spatio-temporal representations in wind power forecasting by Zang Peng, Dong Wenqi, Wang Jing, Fu Jianglong

“…However, due to the stochastic and unstable nature of wind, it poses a real challenge to effectively analyze the correlations among multiple time series data for accurate prediction. In our study, an end-to-end framework called Dynamic Graph structure and Spatio-Temporal representation learning (DSTG) framework is proposed to achieve stable power forecasting by constructing graph data to capture the critical features in the data. …”
