Uncertainty maps for model-based global climate classification systems by Andrés Navarro, Andrés Merino, Eduardo García-Ortega, Francisco J. Tapiador

“…This situation is especially acute when the CCSs are derived from Global Climate Model outputs (GCMs). We present a set of uncertainty maps of four widely used schemes -Whittaker-Ricklefs, Holdridge, Thornthwaite-Feddema and Köppen- for present (1980–2014) and future (2015–2100) climate based on 52 models from the Coupled Intercomparison Model Project Phase six (CMIP6). …”

Pathways for Social Equity: An Audit of Bureaucratic Representation, Diversity, and Cultural Competency in Florida Nursing Homes by Austin M. McCrea, Kenicia Wright, Xiaoyang Xu, Noah Pruitt

“…As a concept, social equity is comprised of several disparate concepts including representative bureaucracy, diversity management, and cultural competency, each focusing on a specific function necessary for achieving equitable processes, outputs, and outcomes. While many organizations implement reforms across all three of these dimensions simultaneously, existing applications in the literature tend to only focus on one at a time—potentially obfuscating the true impact of social equity reforms within public organizations. …”

INVERSION OF PARAMETERS FOR COMPOSITE INTERLAYER COHESIVE ZONE MODEL BY USING ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY ALGORITHM by RAO YuWen, LIN RenBang, YANG YanZhi, YAN Gang

“…In this paper,the inversion of CZM parameters is studied,and double-cantilever beam（ DCB） tests are carried out to obtain the load-displacement data at the loading point. Combined with the outputs of the corresponding forward finite element（ FE） model,an objective function is constructed and artificial bee colony（ ABC） algorithm is employed to optimally identify the CZM parameters. …”

A Study of the Talent Training Project Management for Semiconductor Industry in Taiwan: The Application of a Hybrid Data Envelopment Analysis Approach by Ling-Jing Kao, Shu-Yu Chiu, Hsien-Tang Ko

“…The technical efficiency change, the technological change, pure technical efficiency change, scale efficiency change, and the total factor productivity change were evaluated according to five inputs and two outputs. According to the results of the study, the training institutions can be classified by their efficiency successfully and the guidelines for the optimal level of input resources can be obtained for each inefficient training institution. …”

Des origines indo-européennes de shall by Dennis Philps

“…This paper presents the hypothesis that *(s)kel- ’to owe, be under an obligation’ continued in Old English by sculan and in Modern English by shall, is derived by a process of grammaticalisation and subsequent lexicalisation from homonymic PIE *(s)kel-’to cut’, via a putative specialized meaning of the latter, namely ’to cut notches on a tally stick to symbolize a duty, a debt, an obligation’. …”
