Soil methane emission suppression control using unmanned aircraft vehicle swarm application of biochar mulch - A simulation study by Di An, Derek Hollenbeck, Kai Cao, YangQuan Chen

“…In this paper, we present a soil methane emissions suppression approach using swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), by spreading biochar mulch on top of the detected methane emissions area/source. Soil microorganisms can produce methane and release it into the atmosphere causing climate change such as global warming. …”

Re-composing Physical Form with Energy-Based Resilience Approach to Improve Thermal Comfort (Case Study: Sadra New Town) by Sahar Akbari, Mahsa Sholeh, Sahand Lotfi

“…The proposed criteria will encourage the process of becoming more energy resilient by planning a holistic approach to various and complex aspects of cities and looking at cities as dynamic complex systems in each urban functional area. Urban resilience refers to the ability of an urban system and all the social, environmental, and technical networks that make it up, in time and space scales, to maintain or quickly return to the intended function in the face of disruption, to adapt to rapid change and transformation of systems that limit current or future adaptive capacity. …”

Biological impact of mutually exclusive exon switching. by Su Datt Lam, M Madan Babu, Jonathan Lees, Christine A Orengo

“…MXE-specific residues tend to map to single domains, are highly enriched in surface exposed residues and cluster at or near protein functional sites. Thus, MXE events are likely to maintain the protein fold, but alter specificity and selectivity of protein function. …”

Data forwarding incentive mechanism based on auction model in mobile social network by Hao LIU, Zhi-gang CHEN, Lian-ming ZHANG

“…Abstract:A data forwarding incentive mechanism based on auction model in mobile social network was proposed.In this incentive mechanism,the first-price sealed auction mode was extended,the transaction mode of virtual currency payment was adopted,and the procedure of data forwarding between nodes was abstracted into the auction transaction model.Based on the node's resource state,the virtual currency and the data property,the evaluation function of data forwarding transaction was given,and then the node gives the corresponding price according to the evaluation function and game strategy.Through the game analysis,the Nash equilibrium solution of AMIM was found,and the lowest bidder,of which the bid price was lower than the evaluation of data forwarding request node would been selected as the service provider for this data forwarding.In this incentive mechanism,the rational mobile nodes were enforced to voluntarily participate in data forwarding cooperation to maximize their own interests.The simulation experiment shows that AMIM mechanism can effectively reduce the energy consumption and improve the success rate and efficiency of data forwarding in the whole network system.…”

Signalling and the evolution of cooperative foraging in dynamic environments. by Colin J Torney, Andrew Berdahl, Iain D Couzin

“…In this work, we examine a seemingly altruistic behaviour, the active recruitment of conspecifics to a food resource through signalling. Here collective, cooperative behaviour may provide highly nonlinear benefits to individuals, since group functionality has the potential to be far greater than the sum of the component parts, for example by enabling the effective tracking of a dynamic resource. …”

Granular analysis of pathways to care and durations of untreated psychosis: A marginal delay model. by Walter S Mathis, Maria Ferrara, Shadie Burke, Emily Hyun, Fangyong Li, Bin Zhou, John Cahill, Emily R Kline, Matcheri S Keshavan, Vinod H Srihari

“…Marginal-delay, or the portion of overall delay attributable to a specific node, was computed as the number of days between the start dates of contiguous nodes on the PTC. Sources of delay within the network of care were quantified and patient characteristic (sex, age, race, income, insurance, living, education, employment, and function) influences on such delays were analyzed via bivariate and mixed model testing.…”
