Hexagrid-Voronoi transition in structural patterns for tall buildings by Elena Mele, Massimiliano Fraldi, Gian Maria Montuori, Gianpaolo Perrella, Vincenzo Della Vista

“…In the case of irregular patterns based on Voronoi diagrams, obtained by perturbing prescribed key geometrical features of hexagrids, a statistically significant sample of RVEs is defined on the basis of sensitivity analyses, and the related mechanical characterization is developed in statistical terms. Finally, a preliminary stiffness-based design procedure is proposed and applied to a tall building model with Voronoi exoskeleton. …”

Chain structure Bluetooth scatternet topology formation algorithm and performance simulations by YANG Fan, WANG Ke, QIAN Zhi-hong

“…A novel chain structure Bluetooth scatternet algorithm for topology formation was presented:all Bluetooth nodes turn into INQUIRY or INQUIRY SCAN states with identical probability,0.5,then set point-to-point connections up simultaneously.As a result,as large as possible numbers of temporary piconets were made up,and furthermore,some larger piconets and groups composed of several piconets were made up through varieties of merging and recomposing repeatedly.Finally,a chain structure scatternet bearing only one group were formed by operating the algorithm after several times.Simulations and performance analysis indicate that the scatternet formed by this algorithm has excellent characteristics:comparably less number of piconets,less average number of roles every node and less number of maximum degree of nodes,shorter networking establishment time,easier to maintain topology dynamically and dispensable for all nodes to be in communication range,etc.The algorithm can be used for Bluetooth scatternet topology formation.…”

Zamucoan ethnonymy in the 18th century and the etymology of Ayoreo by Luca Ciucci

“…While it is confirmed that Zamuco is an exonym, this article provides new evidence that the term Ayoreo was not borrowed, since a cognate is attested in Old Zamuco. Finally, although Ayoreo, “people, human beings,” is an autochthonous word, its adoption as an ethnonym is relatively recent and is due to social dynamics common to other Chacoan populations after the Chaco War.…”

Joint QoS prediction for Web services based on deep fusion of features by Jianxun LIU, Linghang DING, Guosheng KANG, Buqing CAO, Yong XIAO

“…In order to solve the problem of insufficient accuracy of Web service QoS prediction, a joint QoS prediction method for Web services based on the deep fusion of features was proposed with considering of the hidden environmental preference information in QoS and the common features of multi-class QoS.First, QoS data was modeled as a user-service bipartite graph and multi-component graph convolution neural network was used for feature extraction and mapping, and the weighted fusion method was used for the same dimensional mapping of multi-class of QoS features.Subsequently, the attention factor decomposition machine was used to extract the first-order features, second-order interactive features, and high-order interactive features of the mapped feature vector.Finally, the results of each part were combined to achieve the joint QoS prediction.The experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the existing QoS prediction methods in terms of root mean square error (RMSE) and average absolute error (MAE).…”
