Proactive and reactive construction of memory-based preferences by Jonathan Nicholas, Nathaniel D. Daw, Daphna Shohamy

“…Here we offer a resolution to this inconsistency, demonstrating that these two strategies tradeoff rationally as a function of the associative structure of memory. We use fMRI to decode patterns of brain responses unique to categories of images in memory and find that proactive memory access is more common and allows more efficient inference. …”

Geometric nonlinear analysis based on the generalized displacement control method and orthogonal iteration by Li Ling

“…In the simulation experiment, the proposed method took 126 s to calculate the incremental iteration steps 700 times in a conventional environment, which is 28.8% more efficient than the cross-sectional method. In the simulated disaster environment, the model took 1,615 s to calculate the ultimate load of 84 contact elements, which is 43.1% more efficient than the section method and 62.6% more efficient than the discrete analysis method. …”
