Fractional Dynamics of Genetic Algorithms Using Hexagonal Space Tessellation by J. A. Tenreiro Machado

“…The genetic algorithm produces special patterns with resemblances to those revealed in percolation phenomena or in the symbiosis found in lichens. Besides the analysis of the spacial layout, a modelling of the time evolution is performed by adopting a distance measure and the modelling in the Fourier domain in the perspective of fractional calculus. …”

THE ECO-MAGNETIC TRAIN by Ana-Maria PĂTRĂȘCOIU

“…The energy used by the toy train is electrical, which is transformed, based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic interaction, into mechanical energy (the electric motor) The idea is to use this kind of energy in the future to reduce pollution, thus creating a dynamic, stable balance between nature and means of transport, electric motors To illustrate the ecosystem, polystyrene, sand, lichens, cardboard were used, and for the magnetic toy train a copper wire, batteries, magnets were used, …”
