Life history and behavioural observations during the rearing of Dira clytus clytus (Linnaeus, 1764) (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae), with notes on implications for climate chan... by Silvia Mecenero, Stephen P. Kirkman

“…Four batches of eggs resulted from these adults, and the larvae from these eggs were also reared although none of them survived to the pupation phase. The timing of the two pupal phases was compared to climatic variables (temperature and rainfall) and it was found that pupation followed soon after cold temperature. …”

Smoothing gradient descent algorithm for the composite sparse optimization by Wei Yang, Lili Pan, Jinhui Wan

“…In this paper, we study the composite sparse optimization problem consisting of minimizing the sum of a nondifferentiable loss function and the $ {\mathcal{\ell}_0} $ penalty term of a matrix times the coefficient vector. First, we consider an exact continuous relaxation problem with a capped-$ {\mathcal{\ell}_1} $ penalty that has the same optimal solution as the primal problem. …”
