Transformation of Turkey's Anti-Terrorism Policy under the AKP by V. A. Avatkov, A. I. Sbitneva

“…However, the military campaigns that have become an integral part of Turkey's anti-terrorism policy in many respects do not contribute to the demolishing of terrorist elements. Instead of that such operations on the contrary become an extra destabilizing factor in the Middle East. …”

On Defining Expressions for Entropy and Cross-Entropy: The Entropic Transreals and Their Fracterm Calculus by Jan A. Bergstra, John V. Tucker

“…This can lead to calculations with problematic subexpressions such as <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>0</mn><msub><mo form="prefix">log</mo><mn>2</mn></msub><mn>0</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and uncertainties in large scale calculations; partiality also introduces complications in logical analysis. Instead of adding conventions or splitting formulae into cases, we create a new algebra of real numbers with two symbols <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mo>±</mo><mo>∞</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> for signed infinite values and a symbol named ⊥ for the undefined. …”

A Framework for Detecting Vehicle Occupancy Based on the Occupant Labeling Method by Jooyoung Lee, Jihye Byun, Jaedeok Lim, Jaeyun Lee

“…The new labeling method directly labels the number of occupants instead of performing face or human labeling. The human labeling, used in existing research, and occupant labeling, this study suggested, are compared to verify the contribution of this labeling method. …”

Use of Coontail as a Natural Phytoremediation Feed Additive for Common Carp by Kiziloğlu Ümmühan, Yıldırım Önder, Çantaş İsmail Berat

“…This study results showed that instead of soybean meal, 5.75% and 6.07% as natural phytoremediation, C. demersum optimized the best growth and feed utilization performance in carp diets.…”

Optimization of the suspension procedure by Box-Behnken design for the determination of manganese, iron, and zinc in zeolite clinoptilolite with the TXRF system and insight into it... by Jablan Jasna, Štefan Maja Bival, Paler Dario, Kamenski Emma

“…The results obtained with TXRF were comparable with those obtained with the FAAS method, indicating that this technique can be used instead of the conventional methods. Using the best analytical conditions, the limits of detection for trace elements were in the range of 0.2–0.6 mg kg–1. …”

Cultural Science Meets Cultural Data Analytics by Ibrus Indrek, Schich Maximilian, Tamm Marek

“…Further, the label of ‘humanities’ in DH is at the same time both too large and too restrictive. We instead argue for a study of meaning-making practices in human society, but without confining ourselves to traditional humanities scholarship, but rather, learning from new developments in systems biology, evolutionary economics, complexity science and many more. …”

Maximizing information in neuron populations for neuromorphic spike encoding by Ahmad El Ferdaoussi, Eric Plourde, Jean Rouat

“…One of the ways neuromorphic applications emulate the processing performed by the brain is by using spikes as inputs instead of time-varying analog stimuli. Therefore, these time-varying stimuli have to be encoded into spikes, which can induce important information loss. …”

An Adversarial Attack via Penalty Method by Jiyuan Sun, Haibo Yu, Jianjun Zhao

“…Unlike traditional methods, it generates white-box <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\ell _{2}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\ell _{1}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> adversarial examples by progressively increasing the penalty parameter instead of employing binary search. Extensive experiments on three test benches (MNIST, CIFAR10, and ImageNet) demonstrate that compared with existing methods, our attack can generate adversarial examples with minor perturbations at a higher success rate. …”

Correlation of the terms “social order” and “public order”, “social security” and “public safety” by K. O. Chyshko

“…It should be borne in mind that the terms “public order” and “public safety” are very broad concepts that include not only administrative offences and public order protection, but also a state (order) in which society is capable of progress and positive development with a minimum of fear that rights will be violated by third parties or due to the occurrence of special conditions. Instead, social order and social security relate primarily to citizens or their individual groups in the state, it is essentially the establishment of the law and order in the country that is necessary to ensure such living conditions for citizens in which they feel inner harmony, have a stable psycho-emotional state and feel safe. …”

PaleoProPhyler: a reproducible pipeline for phylogenetic inference using ancient proteins by Patramanis, Ioannis, Ramos-Madrigal, Jazmín, Cappellini, Enrico, Racimo, Fernando

“…In contrast to the field of ancient DNA - where several computational methods exist to process and analyze sequencing data - few tools exist for handling ancient protein sequence data. Instead, most studies rely on loosely combined custom scripts, which makes it difficult to reproduce results or share methodologies across research groups. …”

Influence of the Main Border Faults on the 3D Hydraulic Field of the Central Upper Rhine Graben by Jessica Freymark, Judith Bott, Mauro Cacace, Moritz Ziegler, Magdalena Scheck-Wenderoth

“…Hence, the hydraulic characteristics of these major faults do not significantly influence the graben-wide groundwater flow patterns. Instead, the different scenarios tested provide a consistent image of the main characteristics of fluid and heat transport as they have in common: (1) a topography-driven basin-wide fluid flow perpendicular to the rift axis from the graben shoulders to the rift center, (2) a N/NE-directed flow parallel to the rift axis in the center of the rift and, (3) a pronounced upflow of hot fluids along the rift central axis, where the streams from both sides of the rift merge. …”

ProNDN: MCDM-Based Interest Forwarding and Cooperative Data Caching for Named Data Networking by Cong Pu

“…Named data networking (NDN), as a specific architecture design of information-centric networking (ICN), has quickly became a promising candidate for future Internet architecture, where communications are driven by data names instead of IP addresses. To realize the NDN communication paradigm in the future Internet, two important features, stateful forwarding and in-network caching, have been proposed to cope with drawbacks of host-based communication protocols. …”

Excavating trajectory planning of electric shovel based on dynamic excavating volume prediction by Juan Wu, Rui Liu, Baoguo Lin

“…Abstract Mining electric shovels are one of the core equipments for open-pit mining, and are currently moving towards intelligent and unmanned transformation, with intelligent mining instead of traditional manual operation. In the excavation operation process, due to the complexity and changeability of the material surfaces, different excavation strategies should be adopted to achieve the optimal excavation trajectory. …”
