Optimal isolation strategies of emerging infectious diseases with limited resources by Yinggao Zhou, Jianhong Wu, Min Wu

“…We show that this modificationleads to four different scenarios (instead of three scenarios in comparison with the SIR model) for optimal isolation strategies, and obtainanalytic solutions for the optimal control problem that minimize the outbreak size under the assumptionof limited resources for isolation. …”

Broadband Frost Adaptive Array Antenna with a Farrow Delay Filter by Tao Dong, Qiushi Wang, Yunxiao Zhao, Lixia Ji, Hao Zeng

“…In this paper, we propose a Farrow structure instead of a direct form FIR structure to implement the time delay filter since it can satisfy the demand for real-time update and is very suited for the FPGA platform. …”

Complexities in Assessing Structural Health of Civil Infrastructures by Abdullah Al-Hussein, Achintya Haldar

“…The basic UKF concept is improved in several ways. Instead of using one long duration time-history in one global iteration, very short duration time-histories and multiple global iterations with weight factors are used to locate the defect spot more accurately and efficiently. …”

Unsupervised intrusion detection model based on temporal convolutional network by LIAO Jinju, DING Jiawei, FENG Guanghui

“…UDMT didn’t rely on LSTM networks. Instead, it used temporal convolutional network and multi-head attention mechanism in the generative adversarial network generator and discriminator networks to enable more computation parallelization, and reduced computational complexity. …”

Fuzzy Number Addition with the Application of Horizontal Membership Functions by Andrzej Piegat, Marcin Pluciński

“…Fuzzy arithmetic (FA) is a very difficult task because operations should be performed here on multidimensional information granules. Instead, a lot of FA methods use α-cuts in connection with 1-dimensional classical interval arithmetic that operates not on multidimensional granules but on 1-dimensional intervals. …”

Entre management et leadership : le « pilote » comme figure emblématique de l’activité des chefs d’établissement by Christiane Montandon, Marie Brégeon

“…This analysis encourages us to privilege the role of leader instead of that of manager, which refers to an overly technicist conception, to underline the ethical and political dimensions which underlie the figure of the "pilot", guarantor of a just order respecting values expected of both teachers and students.…”

Mān on the Referentiality Continuum in Thai by Kaenmuang, Jinawat, Piyamahapong, Piroon, Pittayaporn, Pittayawat

“…The analysis reveals that the referentiality of the pronoun mān is not dichotomous but instead lies on a continuum in which one end expresses semantic referentiality with an explicit antecedent with a higher level of referent concreteness, and the other expresses pragmatic referentiality with an implicit antecedent with a lower level of referent concreteness. …”

Metabolic activities are selective modulators for individual segmentation clock processes by Mitsuhiro Matsuda, Jorge Lázaro, Miki Ebisuya

“…This study examines whether metabolic activities serve as a global modulator for the segmentation clock, finding them to be selective instead. Several metabolic inhibitions extend the clock period but affect key processes differently: glycolysis inhibition slows Hes7 protein degradation and production delay without altering intron delay, while electron transport chain inhibition extends intron delay without influencing the other processes. …”
