Do xenophobic attitudes influence migrant workers' regional location choice? by Tanja Buch, Carola Burkert, Stefan Hell, Annekatrin Niebuhr, Anette Haas

“…While the immigration of skilled workers seems to be more sensitive to xenophobic violence, evidence is more robust for the share of right-wing votes in the case of low-skilled foreign workers. The strength of the adverse effect of anti-immigrant attitudes tends to increase with the local size of the coethnic community.…”

Gradient descent Sarsa(?)algorithm based on the adaptive potential function shaping reward mechanism by Fei XIAO, Quan LIU, Qi-ming FU, Hong-kun SUN, Long GAO

“…In the reinforcement leaning tasks with continuous state spaces,the algorithms are usually facing the problems of ill initial performance and low convergence speed.In order to solve these problems,the potential function shaping reward mechanism was proposed to improve the reinforcement learning algorithms.This mechanism propagates model knowledge to the learner adaptively in the form of the additional reward signal,so that the initial performance and convergence speed could be improved effectively.In view of the good performance and existing problems of the radial basis function (RBF) network,the adaptive normalized RBF (ANRBF) network was put forward to use as a potential function to generate the shaping rewards.A gradient descent (GD)algorithm named ANRBF-GD-Sarsa(?) …”

On the Filtration Efficiency of Composite Media Composed of Multiple Layers of Electret Media by Peng Wang, Da-Ren Chen

“…Abstract This study aimed to explain the discrepancy reported in previous studies between the observed and the calculated filtration efficiencies of a composite formed of multiple electret medium layers. After measuring the composite’s filtration efficiency using particles divided by size and electrical charge status, viz., those possessing no charge, a single charge, and a stationary charge according to the Boltzmann distribution, we traced the discrepancy to the latter attribute. …”
