Design as Exploration by Ding Yang

“…To support the re-formulation, various kinds of information and knowledge need to be extracted by utilizing different computational techniques, such as advanced sampling algorithms, Self-Organizing Map, Hierarchical Clustering, Smoothing Spline Analysis of Variance, Two-Level Variable Structure and modular programming. Moreover, a software workflow that can provide these computational techniques is developed; it integrates McNeel’s Grasshopper, ESTECO's modeFRONTIER and simulation software tools Daysim, EnergyPlus and Karamba3D. …”

Improving Quantum Optimization Algorithms by Constraint Relaxation by Tomasz Pecyna, Rafał Różycki

“…Existing techniques attempt to mitigate these issues through employing different Hamiltonian encodings or Hamiltonian clause pruning, but they often rely on optimistic assumptions rather than a deep analysis of the problem structure. We demonstrate how to formulate the problem Hamiltonian for a quantum approximate optimization algorithm that satisfies all the requirements to correctly describe the considered tactical aircraft deconfliction problem, achieving higher probabilities for finding solutions compared to previous works. …”

Experimental evaluation of the diagonal tension test of hollow clay blocks strengthening with (AR) glass fibers by Delaram Ostad, Jalil Shafaei, Farshid Jandaghi Alaee

“…Since shear capacity and ductility are key factors influencing the seismic performance of masonry infill walls, evaluating their shear behaviour under diagonal tension provides essential insight into their structural response during earthquakes. To investigate this, an experimental program comprising 33 diagonal tension tests was conducted on masonry wallettes with nominal dimensions of 650 × 650 × 100 mm. …”

The technique of «Subliminal verbal suggestion for the treatment of [pseudo]obsessions» by N. V. Danilevska

“…Aim: to develop and test etiopsychopathogenetic technique "Subliminal verbal suggestion for the treatment of [pseudo]obsessions" as a subsidiary method of treatment of schizophrenia patients with [pseudo] obsessions in the structure of the disease. Methods and results. 137 patients who underwent hospital treatment 65 schizophrenia patients (F20) with the [pseudo]obsessive symptoms in the structure of the disease were examined on the basis of Public Health Institution «Regional clinical mental hospital» of the Zaporizhzhian regional council. 30 patients received standard pharmacotherapy (antipsychotic drugs) according to clinical protocols that was combined with proposed technique "Subliminal verbal suggestion for the treatment of [pseudo]obsessions". …”
