A Rough Penalty Genetic Algorithm for Multicast Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks by Chih-Hao Lin, Chia-Chun Chuang

“…In this paper, a novel penalty adjustment method based on the rough set theory is proposed to deal with path-delay constraints for multicast routing problems in MANETs. We formulate the problem as a constrained optimization problem, where the objective function is to minimize the total cost of the multicast tree subject to QoS constraints. …”

Les autochtones invisibles ou comment l’Argentine s’est « blanchie » by Sabine Kradolfer

“…However, in the two last decades, the organizations defending the rights of the indigenous populations have proposed new forms of citizenship and have been negotiating alternative modes of social and political organization with the state.« Blanchie » in the title of my paper has a double meaning in French and refers – perhaps in a somewhat impertinent way – not only to the process of assimilation of the indigenous people in the Argentinean Nation (here it would be « whitening ») but also to the negation of the various attempts (not only military but also political, social, cultural, legal, etc) aiming at making disappear the indigenous cultures which are (almost) never regarded as reprehensible actions (here it would be « bleaching »).…”

Model Predictive Control of Robotic Grinding Based on Deep Belief Network by Shouyan Chen, Tie Zhang, Yanbiao Zou, Meng Xiao

“…The rigid-flexible coupling dynamics of robotic grinding is first established, on the basis of which a robotic grinding prediction model is constructed to predict the change of robotic grinding status and perform feed-forward control. A rolling optimization formula derived from the energy function is also established to optimize control output in real time and perform feedback control. …”
