Causes and consequences of material variation in avian nest building by Shoko Sugasawa, Mike Hansell, Maggie Reilly, Susan D. Healy

“…We found that warbler use of nest materials were explained by the composition of the local habitats, but no evidence for relationships between nest‐material composition and insulation capacity or the breeding performance. Warblers appear to be able to build equally functional nests using whatever materials are readily available in respective habitats. …”

New Approach of Blind Adaptive Equalizer Based on Genetic Algorithms by Caroline A. D. Silva, Marcelo A. C. Fernandes

“…Unlike traditional methods that rely on linear programming and suffer from local minima issues, this technique utilizes a stochastic linear programming cost function with GAs for robust optimization. The proposed method termed Blind Linear Equalizer based on genetic algorithm (BLE-GA) enhances performance by leveraging a GA’s ability to handle stochastic variables, offering rapid convergence and resilience against signal noise and inter-symbol interference. …”
