Heterogeneous foraging swarms can be better by Gal A. Kaminka, Yinon Douchan

“…While promising, the use of EI is brittle (as we show), since robots that selfishly seek to optimize their own EI (minimizing time spent on collisions) can actually cause swarm-wide performance to degrade.ResultsTo address this, we derive a reward function from a game-theoretic view of swarm foraging as a fully-cooperative, unknown horizon repeating game. We demonstrate analytically that the total coordination overhead of the swarm (total time spent on collision-avoidance, rather than foraging per-se) is directly tied to the total utility of the swarm: less overhead, more items collected. …”

Tracing the Intellectual History of the Knowledge Economy: An Analysis of OECD Publications within the International Political Economy Framework by V. I. Konnov, D. A. Talagaeva

“…This study undertakes an assessment of the evolution of the “knowledge economy” concept within the OECD, employing a dual analytical framework that encompasses intellectual history and international political economy (IPE), with a predominant focus on the neo-Gramscian school of thought within the IPE paradigm.Our recourse to the neo-Gramscian branch of IPE serves the purpose of delineating the role played by the “knowledge economy” within the broader context of power dynamics and the competing interests of influential groups capable of wielding political and economic influence. …”

Differentially expressed transcript isoforms associate with resistance to tuberculin skin test and interferon gamma release assay conversion. by Jason D Simmons, R Max Segnitz, Kimberly A Dill-McFarland, Catherine M Stein, Glenna J Peterson, Harriet Mayanja-Kizza, W Henry Boom, Thomas R Hawn

“…<h4>Background</h4>A mechanistic understanding of uncommon immune outcomes such as resistance to infection has led to the development of novel therapies. Using gene level analytic methods, we previously found distinct monocyte transcriptional responses associated with resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection defined as persistently negative tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) reactivity among highly exposed contacts (RSTR phenotype).…”

“…A comprehensive one-stage comparative study was conducted in a case-control design, using the assessment of biochemical parameters (lactate, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, glucose, direct and indirect bilirubin, high-density lipoproteins and low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, urea and total protein), immunological parameters (transforming growth factor beta) and tumor markers (CA 19-9, СYFRA 21-1) in blood serum samples obtained from patients with O. felineus infection, with and without periductal fibrosis, O. felineus-infected patients with cholangiocarcinoma and representatives of control groups. During the analytical stage, the relationship between the structural features of the liver ac- cording to the results of ultrasound examination (presence of opisthorchiasis-associated periductal fibrosis), clinical parameters, parasitological study data (infection intensity), and changes in biochemical, immunological parameters and tumor markers in patients against the background of O. felineus infection was assessed. …”

Advances and trends of modern and contemporary research on the geology of coal-measure minerals in China by Yong QIN

“…Advances Based on textual research and the analysis of logical relations, this study generalized the advances in research on the geology of CMMs in China into four aspects. (1) Increasingly improved geological theory system of CMMs: China’s classic theoretical system of coal field geology was formed in the second half of the 20th century, and the geological theory system focusing on coals, coal-measure gas, and coal-measure critical metals has been gradually developed since the 21st century. (2) Research on the origin and genesis of coals, advancing the international coal geology: The advancements include the development of the new coal metamorphism theory, the discovery of the world's youngest soft lignite, the reveal of late-stage coalification jumps, the establishment of the ordinary organic petrology, and the comprehensive ascertainment of the formation and evolutionary mechanisms of coals. (3) The unique CMM accumulation, distribution, and metallogenic theory: The specific outcomes include the establishment of multiple sedimentary and structural coal-controlling patterns, the reveal of the fundamental framework of coal accumulation in sea areas, the identification of deposits of various coal-measure critical metals, and the determination of the division schemes for coal-controlling geotectonic units and the metallogenic zones of coal-measure critical metals, and the development of a geological theory system for coalbed methane. (4) Significant achievements in the geological surveys and assessment of special coal resources: Specifically, the methodological system for the geological prediction and assessment of special coal types and high-quality, eco-friendly, and clean coal resources has been developed, the methodological system for the resource potential assessment of tar-rich coals and underground coal gasification has been formed, and the coal resources for related purposes have been preliminarily investigated. Prospects The analytical results indicate that major national demands determine the trends of research on the geology of CMMs. …”
