Spatiotemporal impact of mesoscale eddies on chlorophyll-a concentration in the North Atlantic by Jinghui Cai, Jialong Sun, Jialong Sun, Jialong Sun, Siyuan Qin, Yaonan Li

“…IntroductionMesoscale eddies play a crucial role in energy transport and ecological regulation in the North Atlantic Ocean.MethodsBased on multi-source datasets, including satellite remote sensing and Argo float observations from 2009 to 2018, this study employs the Velocity Gradient Detection (VGD) method to identify eddy boundaries and cores, in combination with a spatiotemporal dynamic matching technique, to systematically analyze eddy characteristics and their impacts on chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentrations.ResultsResults show that eddy activity is predominantly concentrated in the Gulf Stream extension region (24°N–48°N, 40°W–60°W). …”

THEORY AND PRACTICE OF ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF INSTABILITY OF THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE ENTERPRISE IN A HYBRID WAR by I. Zapukhliak, A. Shegda, О. Mykytiuk, T. Onysenko, K. Petrenko

“…The article proposes a methodological approach to comprehensive assessment of the level of instability of environmental factors of enterprises, which, unlike others, involves the detection of instability in terms of seven components (socio-demographic, economic, technological, environmental, political, legal, ethical) on four criteria: complexity, interdependence, variability and uncertainty of factors, which makes it possible to determine their sources and nature, and thus form an effective response of the enterprise to change. …”

On Explainability of Reinforcement Learning-Based Machine Learning Agents Trained with Proximal Policy Optimization That Utilizes Visual Sensor Data by Tomasz Hachaj, Marcin Piekarczyk

“…This estimation makes it possible to determine whether the network makes decisions as expected (decision-making is related to the model’s observation of objects belonging to different semantic classes in the environment) and to detect unexpected, seemingly chaotic behavior that might be, for example, the result of data bias, bad design of the reward function or insufficient generalization abilities of the model. …”
