Improved RFID anti-collision algorithm based on ALOHA Abstract：In order to solve the problem of low efficiency of electronic tag identification in RFID system，a new ALOHA anti-collision algorithm was presented.In this algorithm，the coefficients of the tag estimation were automatically changed by using the dynamic adjustment method，which made the number of tag estimation could be dynamic changed with the number of identified tags，then the number of tags to be identified was estimated.And for the frame length adjustment，it could be determined by the relationship between the length of the frame and the tag number according to the estimated number of tags.With the tool of MATLAB，the results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the throughput and stability of the system. by Yong WANG, Ting LI

Guidance needed for using artificial intelligence to screen journal submissions for misconduct by Mohammad Hosseini, David B Resnik

“…In this Topic Piece, we offer the following guidance: (1) All cases of suspected misconduct identified by AI tools should be carefully reviewed by humans to verify accuracy and ensure accountability; (2) Journals/publishers that use AI tools to detect misconduct should use only well-tested and reliable tools, remain vigilant concerning forms of misconduct that cannot be detected by these tools, and stay abreast of advancements in technology; (3) Journals/publishers should inform authors about irregularities identified by AI tools and give them a chance to respond before forwarding allegations to their institutions in accordance with Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines; (4) Journals/publishers that use AI tools to detect misconduct should screen all relevant submissions and not just random/purposefully selected submissions; and (5) Journals should inform authors about their definition of misconduct, their use of AI tools to detect misconduct, and their policies and procedures for responding to suspected cases of misconduct.…”

Digital Humanities and Distributed Cognition: From a Lack of Theory to its Visual Augmentation by Florian Windhager, Eva Mayr

“…Concepts of extended cognition further sharpen the focus on multiple types of distribution: from the outlined internal-external distribution to the propositional-visual distribution of cognition, but also for the multi-instrumental distribution across multiple types of tools and tool specialist. All these aspects are relevant for future debates about a "theory gap" in the digital humanities: DH mainly builds external, technological tools, while traditional humanities develop conceptual tools---including theories---to enable and enhance the study of complex cultural phenomena. …”
