Are feature assignment errors due to attraction? The case of Bulgarian numeral phrase by Danil Khristov, Penka Stateva, Julie Franck, Dávid György, Arthur Stepanov

“…In a series of four sentence completion experiments we demonstrate that speakers' errors in count form assignment are subject to linear rather than structural distance. Based on this, we argue that these errors are not due to attraction but instead reflect the cost of temporary storage and integration to resolve the assignment dependency, thus supporting linear distance-based theories of processing locality. …”

Integrating Social Network and Space Syntax: A Multi-Scale Diagnostic–Optimization Framework for Public Space Optimization in Nomadic Heritage Villages of Xinjiang by Hao Liu, Rouziahong Paerhati, Nurimaimaiti Tuluxun, Saierjiang Halike, Cong Wang, Huandi Yan

“…Key findings include the following: Compact villages exhibit high central clustering but excessive concentration, necessitating strategies to enhance network resilience and peripheral connectivity. Linear villages demonstrate weak systemic linkages, requiring “segment-connection point supplementation” interventions to mitigate structural elongation. …”

Collapsible properties of Q2 loess and its collapsible prediction model by Yukai FU, Guanglin LI, Tonglu LI, Ziran ZHANG, He LIU

“…Long-term surface leakage caused by intermittent surface irrigation or project operation can lead to the humidification and settlement deformation of deep Q2 loess, compromising the safety of the structures. To predict the collapsible deformation properties of Q2 loess, a series of high pressure consolidation tests were performed under different water contents on Q2 loess from Jingyang of Shaanxi Province. …”

Impact of data spatial resolution on barley yield prediction mapping by F. Ksantini, M. Quemada, N. Arencibia-Pérez, A.F. Almeida-Ñauñay, E. Sanz, Ana M. Tarquis

“…Random Forest Regression at 6 m (Moran I = 0.12, SSIM =0.92) and 12 m (Moran I = 0.25, SSIM = 0.96), capturing spatial heterogeneity and structural similarity effectively, while Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression at 24 m also maintained a strong spatial accuracy (Moran I = 0.39, SSIM = 0.72).In addition, vegetation indices, particularly the Normalised Vegetation Index, significantly improve prediction accuracy. …”

The inverted U-shaped relationship between judicial development and economic growth: evidence from China by Xin Zhang, Decai Tang, Xiejun Cheng

“…The findings reveal that: (1) In both the baseline regression and the System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM) model, the linear term of judicial development level (JDL) is significantly positive, while the quadratic term is significantly negative, indicating an inverted U-shaped impact of JD on China’s economic growth. (2) The threshold regression model confirms this hypothesis, as the threshold variable passes the single-threshold test, and the coefficients shift from positive to negative. (3) Employment, gross capital formation, and the marketization index positively contribute to China’s economic growth, while the full-time equivalent of R&D personnel shows no significant effect. (4) Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the inverted U-shaped structure is most pronounced in the eastern region, suggesting that its JD has entered a phase of institutional marginal inhibition. …”

Soft Computing Solutions for Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Fly Ash Based Concrete. Advances in Civil Engineering by Awoyera, Paul O., Adetola, Joshua, Nayeemuddin, Mohammed, Mewada, Hiren, George Fadugba, Olaolu

“…The construction industry significantly contributes to environmental degradation,with many structures exhibiting high carbon footprints throughout their construction processes and lifespans.Activities such as cement hydration and other commoncon-struction practices substantially influence environmental conditions overtime,necessitating a critical evaluation of material and design choices.This study reported the environmental impact of fly ash(FA),which is largely used to enhance concrete strength.A prediction of two end point indicators,that is,global warming potential(GWP)and CO2 emission using soft computing methods are presented,which are particularly effective for handling complex,non linear relationships in environmental data.To achieve this, two machine learning approaches,the random forest(RF)and decision tree(DT)models,are employed to assess the environ- mental impact of structural materials and designs.Two data sets were obtained from reputable databases,including ResearchGate, Science Direct, Semantic Scholar,and Mendeley Data.The models are trained to explore the potential for optimizing structural designs and material selection stominimize environmental impacts.Feature importance is analyzed using Shapley values,providing insights into the most influential factors affecting GWP and CO2 emission Model performance is evaluated using R2 and root mean square error(RMSE) metrics. …”
