Predator Interference in a Predator–Prey Model with Mixed Functional and Numerical Responses by Jawdat Alebraheem

“…In the novel model, a high prey density is taken into consideration by investigating Crowley–Martin as a numerical response, while the growth rate of prey is logistically described and Holling type II is used as a functional response. In contrast to literature, this model has distinct and notable features: predator and prey species have an intraspecific competition, and this model has a numerical response that generalizes several of the commonly utilized depictions of predator interference. …”

Controllability and Observability of Nonautonomous Riesz-Spectral Systems by Sutrima Sutrima, Christiana Rini Indrati, Lina Aryati

“…The basic problems related to the equations are existence of solutions of the equations and how to control dynamical behaviour of the equations. In contrast to the autonomous control problems, theory of controllability and observability for the nonautonomous systems is less well established. …”

Performance and Analysis of FCN, U-Net, and SegNet in Remote Sensing Image Segmentation Based on the LoveDA Dataset by Yang Shuhao

“…By partitioning the Urban-Rural dataset of LoveDA for training and testing, it was determined that SegNet excels in detail restoration and boundary handling, while U-Net demonstrates robust adaptability across various scenarios. In contrast, FCN, with its simpler architecture, shows lower segmentation accuracy in certain contexts. …”

Educational endeavors in a rural society –an example from a small community in Sweden by Peter Erlandson, Anne Kjellsdotter

“…Currently, at our research site, significant attention is given to traditional farming, which emphasises acquiring the skills essential for integration within the local community. In contrast, national policies, along with the prevailing influence of metro-centric middle-class culture, advocate a different path, prioritising formal education to meet the demands of late modern society.…”

Spontaneous Retroperitoneal Bleeding as a Complication of Unusual Renal Paraganglioma by Tawfeeq I. Sangey, Hamim Abdul Rusheke, Ansaar I. Sangey, Nimishkumar Chaya, Advera Ngaiza

“…We present a 58-year-old male with a 4-day history of progressively worsening left-sided flank pain due to retroperitoneal hemorrhage from a nonfunctional renal paraganglioma. Abdominal contrast CT scan was helpful in locating the tumor, estimating tumor size and extent of bleeding, visualizing the interaction between the tumor and the surroundings, and ruling out any potential metastasis; however, it lacked specificity in identifying the origin of the mass, needing histologic investigation for a conclusive diagnosis. …”

AOA, Delay, and Complex Propagation Factor Estimation for the Monostatic MIMO Radar System by Saleh O. Al-Jazzar, Sami Aldalahmeh

“…In this paper, we propose a solution to find the angle of arrival (AOA), delay, and the complex propagation factor for the monostatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system. In contrast to conventional iterative computationally demanding estimation schemes, we propose a closed form solution for most of the previous parameters. …”

Everyday Magic or Winter Haunting? Kevin Sullivan’s Supernatural Re-Visioning of L. M. Montgomery’s Jane of Lantern Hill by Heidi Lawrence

“…Montgomery’s Jane of Lantern Hill employs the natural magic of “Jane Victoria” Stuart’s environment to convey psychological changes and healing for the main character in what appears to be an immersive fantasy comprised of a Prince Edward Island that provides a magical setting for Jane’s emotional and social development. In contrast Kevin Sullivan’s film adaptation, Lantern Hill, employs the magic of the supernatural to achieve those same psychological impacts on Victoria Jane in something akin to an intrusion fantasy, in which ghosts and haunting dreams propel both Jane and the viewer into an almost-Gothic Prince Edward Island. …”
