Learning the Truth in Social Networks Using Multi-Armed Bandit

This paper explains how agents in a social network can learn the arbitrary time-varying true state of the network.This is practical in social melee live resin networks where information is released and updated without any coordination.Most existing literature for learning the true state using the non-Bayesian learning approach, assumes that this tr

Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Using Chaotic Bat Algorithm

In this paper, the chaotic bat ice cubes chocolate blue wrapper algorithm (CBA) is applied to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem taking into account small-scale, medium-scale and large-scale power systems.ORPD plays a key role in the power system operation and control.The ORPD problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear

Vocal communication in wild chimpanzees: a call rate study

Background Patterns of vocal communication have implications for species conservation: a change in calling behaviour can, for instance, reflect a disturbed habitat.More importantly, call rate is a parameter that allows conservation planners to convert call density into animal density, when detecting calls with a passive acoustic monitoring system (

Juvenile wood volume and its proportion to stem volume vs. selected biometric features of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees

The aim of the study att nighthawk hotspot was to determine whether there is a correlation between breast height diameter, tree height and stem total volume of Scots pines, on the one hand, and volume and proportion of juvenile wood, on the other.The investigations comprised pure pine stands of the IInd, IIIrd, IVth and Vth age classes developed in

Genome wide profiling in oral squamous cell carcinoma identifies a four genetic marker signature of prognostic significance.

BACKGROUND:Cancers of the oral cavity are primarily oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs).Many of the OSCCs present at late stages with an exceptionally poor prognosis.A probable limitation in management of patients with OSCC lies in the insufficient knowledge pertaining to the linkage between copy number alterations in OSCC and oral tumourigenesis
