Improved Ant Algorithms for Software Testing Cases Generation by Shunkun Yang, Tianlong Man, Jiaqi Xu

“…Existing ant colony optimization (ACO) for software testing cases generation is a very popular domain in software testing engineering. However, the traditional ACO has flaws, as early search pheromone is relatively scarce, search efficiency is low, search model is too simple, positive feedback mechanism is easy to porduce the phenomenon of stagnation and precocity. …”

Reversible data hiding in encrypted images with high payload by Dawen Xu

“…Abstract Reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDH‐EI) can be used as an efficient technique to directly embed additional data in the encrypted domain without violating privacy. In this study, a multi‐MSB (most significant bit) prediction‐based RDH‐EI scheme is proposed, which is completely reversible and has high embedding payload. …”

The interplay between models and public health policies: Regional control for a class of spatially structured epidemics (think globally, act locally) by Vincenzo Capasso, Sebastian AniȚa

“…It has been proved that it is possible to diminish exponentially the epidemic process, in the whole habitat, just by reducing the concentration of the pollutant in a nonempty and sufficiently large subset of the spatial domain. The stabilizability with a feedback control of harvesting type is related to the magnitude of the principal eigenvalue of a certain operator. …”

Porothermoelastic Response of a Borehole in Fluid-Saturated Medium Subjected to Thermal Osmosis Effect by Hai Lin, Jingen Deng, Xiaocheng Zhang, Jiajia Gao

“…It obtains the time-dependent distributions of field variables by performing the inversion technique for Laplace transforms to the porothermoelastic solutions in the Laplace domain. The results suggest that the thermal osmosis effect should not be neglected on the premise that a lower permeability porous rock is characterized by the substantially large thermal osmotic coefficient and the small thermal diffusivity values. …”
