Transformations in the Ownership Structure of Credit Unions: Banking Service Rates and the Expectations of Members and Directors by Bruno José Canassa, Davi Rogério de Moura Costa, Carlos Alberto Grespan Bonacim

“…Following the logic that they are motivated by the expectations of members and directors, this study associates these transformations with the banking services rates offered by credit unions. We employ ordered and multinomial logit models to investigate whether abnormal positive bank spreads-reflecting rates that could offer few advantages to members and large private benefits to directors-increase the probability of transformation. …”

The Coral Reefs Optimization Algorithm: A Novel Metaheuristic for Efficiently Solving Optimization Problems by S. Salcedo-Sanz, J. Del Ser, I. Landa-Torres, S. Gil-López, J. A. Portilla-Figueras

“…This paper presents a novel bioinspired algorithm to tackle complex optimization problems: the coral reefs optimization (CRO) algorithm. The CRO algorithm artificially simulates a coral reef, where different corals (namely, solutions to the optimization problem considered) grow and reproduce in coral colonies, fighting by choking out other corals for space in the reef. …”

Dynamic interference coordination scheme based on the iterative joint transmission in ultra dense network by Xiaona LI, Zhongfang WANG, Qian CHENG, Jingwen FU, Shunliang ZHANG

“…In consideration of the rapidly increasing number of cells and users in the ultra-dense network,how to realize dynamic interference coordination by selecting the appropriate joint transmission users was studied,so as to improve the spectral efficiency of the edge users.All users were classified by dynamic coordination cluster division and dynamic joint-muting transmission.The iterative optimization algorithm was used to further improve the system performance and solve the problem of selecting the number of joint transmission users.The simulation results prove that compared with the conventional CoMP JT scheme,the proposed scheme has significant performance gains in the cell edge spectral efficiency without reducing the cell average spectral efficiency.…”

An Efficient Laguerre-Based FDTD Iterative Algorithm in 3D Cylindrical Coordinate System by Da-Wei Zhu, Hai-Lin Chen, Zi-Yu Pan, Bo-Ao Xu, Bin Chen

“…Here an efficient Laguerre-based finite-difference time-domain iterative algorithm is proposed. Different from the previously developed iterative procedure used in the efficient FDTD algorithm, a new perturbation term combined with the Gauss–Seidel iterative procedure is introduced to form the new Laguerre-based FDTD algorithm in the 3D cylindrical coordinate system. …”
