Improved Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm For Jamming Resource Allocation, Qingyun Wang, Dezhong Jiao, Shi Shuo, Genyan Peng, Junhua Sun, Yuxin Duan
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a new intelligence optimization algorithm. When applied to jamming resource allocation, the velocity of convergence in optimization process is slow and the probability of obtaining the global optimal solution is low. In order to raise the efficiency of jamming resource allocation and the probability of getting global optimal solution, the attenuation factor is improved to a variable that changes according to the exponential function in optimization process. The attenuation factor is taken as a relatively small value in the initial search phase, and increases monotonically and exponentially as the number of iterations increases. Simulation …

Detection of a stochastic background of gravitational waves is likely to occur in the next few years. Beyond searches for the isotropic component of a stochastic gravitational-wave background, there have been various mapping methods proposed to target anisotropic backgrounds. Some of these methods have been applied to data taken by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo. Specifically, these directional searches have focused on mapping the intensity of the signal on the sky via maximum-likelihood solutions. We compare this intensity mapping approach to a previously proposed, but never employed, amplitude-phase mapping method to understand whether this latter approach may …

Effect Of Winter Grazing Management Of Stockpiled Native Pastures Of Basaltic Soils Of Uruguay On Daily Gains Of Heifers, G. Pigurina, R. Castells, G. Reyes, E. J. Berretta
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
The effect of three grazing systems of fall stockpiled native pastures on the winter gains of 66 Hereford heifers (135 kg) was studied. Treatments were: continuos grazing (CG); (C7) the plot was divided in 12 and each was grazed for 7 days and (C28), the plot was divided in 3 and each were grazed for 28 days. Heifers were weighed every 14 days and grazing behaviour was recorded. Stockpiled HM was greater (P< 0.05) in C7 and C28 than in CG (988, 912, and 604 kg DM/ha, respectively). Herbage allowance (HA) was greater (P< 0.01) in CG followed by C28 and C7 (11.7, 6.6 and 5.9 kg DM/100 kg LW, respectively). Post-grazing HM was greater (P0.05) in all pastures (CP 10.2%, NDF 71.2%, ADF 41.3% and ash 14.4%). Final LW of heifers were similar (P> 0.05) (167, 162 and 160 kg for CG, C7 and C28, respectively). A very mild winter favoured exceptional gains which tended to be higher in CG (0.353 …

Influence Of Stocking Rate And Grazing System On Lamb Performance Of Mixed Oat And Ryegrass Swards In Uruguay, Fabio Montossi, R. San Julián, C. Arocena, A. Dighiero
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
An experiment was conducted at INIA-Tacuarembó Research Station (Uruguay) during 15 June to 4 October 1998, using a Avena Sativa (oat) and Lolium multiflorum (ryegrass) sward to examine the effect of stocking rate (SR; 25 and 35 lambs/ha) and grazing system (GS; strip and 7 days rotational grazing) on sward and lamb performance. SR had a significant effect on lamb performance, being higher the liveweight gain (LWG; 120 vs 98 g/a/d, P < 0.01), hot carcass weight (HCW; 17.7 vs 16.1 kg/a, P < 0.05) and carcass fat cover (GR; 12 vs 8 mm, P < 0.01) of those lambs managed at the lower SR. At the high SR, lambs increased grazing time (405 vs 376 min., P < 0.05). SG did not affect lamb performance, but strip GS reduces lamb grazing time (367 vs 414 min., P < 0.01) and biting rates (22 vs 24 bites/lamb/min., P < 0.01). Post grazing sward height (SH) was highly associated with LWG (LW = - 101,7 + 32.7 SH – 1.49 SH2, R2 = 0.66). This experiment demonstrated that: (a) the productive potential of ryegrass and oat swards to produce high quality …

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
An experiment was carried out from 3 of July to 22 of October 1998, using a Lolium multiflorum Lom. (ryegrass) and Triticosecale Wittmack (triticale) sward grazed by lambs, to examine the effect of stocking rate (SR; 25 and 35 lambs/ha), grazing system (GS; strip and 7 days rotational grazing) and supplementation (S; with or without) on sward structure, production, composition and nutritive value. SR affected significantly pre and post grazing herbage mass and sward height, being higher at the lower SR (3211 vs 2832 kg DM ha-1, P < 0.01; 2443 vs 1939 kg DM ha-1, P < 0.01; 19 vs 17 cm, P < 0.01 and 10 vs 8 cm, P < 0.01 respectively), increasing, at the high SR, the proportions of the ryegrass green leaf component, particularly in the uppermost layers of the sward canopy. In comparison with 7 days rotational GS, strip GS resulted in higher post grazing herbage mass, sward height and nutritive value (2387 vs 1996 DM ha-1, P < 0.01; 10 vs 9 cm, P …

Case Study: Degenerative Joint Disease In Canines, Zachary B. Lawrence, Rusty Rogers, Emily Schmitt Lavin
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
Degenerative joint disease (DJD) is the gradual degeneration of cartilage in joints, resulting in pain for the affected areas. This study focused on Lacy (name changed for privacy), a 10-year-old spayed female chihuahua mix, that was clinically diagnosed for DJD and treated by Dr. Rogers over a period of 15 months. DJD is typically treated through a combination of pharmacological management, nonpharmacological treatment, and changes in lifestyle. Pharmacological treatment utilized pain medications, such as Gabapentin and Tramadol. Nonpharmacological treatment and changes in lifestyle involve methods, such as maintaining an ideal body weight, to decrease pain and increase mobility. However, during …
Towards A Quantum Notion Of Covariance In Spherically Symmetric Loop Quantum Gravity, Rodolfo Gambini, Javier Olmedo, Jorge Pullin
Towards A Quantum Notion Of Covariance In Spherically Symmetric Loop Quantum Gravity, Rodolfo Gambini, Javier Olmedo, Jorge Pullin
Faculty Publications
The covariance of loop quantum gravity studies of spherically symmetric space-times has recently been questioned. This is a reasonable worry, given that they are formulated in terms of slicing-dependent variables. We show explicitly that the resulting space-times, obtained from Dirac observables of the quantum theory, are covariant in the usual sense of the way-they preserve the quantum line element-for any gauge that is stationary (in the exterior, if there is a horizon). The construction depends crucially on the details of the Abelianized quantization considered, the satisfaction of the quantum constraints, and the recovery of standard general relativity in the classical …

This is a reasonable worry, given that they are formulated in terms of slicing-dependent variables. We show explicitly that the resulting space-times, obtained from Dirac observables of the quantum theory, are covariant in the usual sense of the way-they preserve the quantum line element-for any gauge that is stationary (in the exterior, if there is a horizon). The construction depends crucially on the details of the Abelianized quantization considered, the satisfaction of the quantum constraints, and the recovery of standard general relativity in the classical …

Recent applications ofdeep learning have shown promising results for classifying unstructured text in the healthcare domain. However, the reliability of models in production settings has been hindered by imbalanced data sets in which a small subset of the classes dominate. In the absence of adequate training data, rare classes necessitate additional model constraints for robust performance. Here, we present a strategy for incorporating short sequences of text (i.e. keywords) into training to boost model accuracy on rare classes. In our approach, we assemble a set of keywords, including short phrases, associated with each class. The keywords are then used as …
