Systemic and cognitive study of the influence of ecology on the quality of life by E. V. Lutsenko, T. P. Baranovskaya

“…A system-cognitive study provides the following scientific results: 1) information portraits of classes and values of factors; 2) SWOT-analysis of the influence of environmental factors on the parameters of quality of life; 3) cognitive class diagrams and cognitive diagrams of signs (factor values); 4) dendrograms of cognitive clustering of classes and values of factors; 5) non-local neurons and a layer of a non-local neural network; 6) 3d integral cognitive maps; 7) cognitive functions, reflecting how much information is contained in the values of environmental factors on the values of scales measuring the quality of life (classes); 8) cognitive diagrams of meaningful comparison of classes; 9) cognitive diagrams of meaningful comparison of the values of environmental factors on their impact on class membership; 10) Pareto curve of significance of gradations of descriptive scales, i.e. values of environmental factors.…”

Variations in neuronal cytoskeletal integrity affect directed communication in distributed networks during inhibitory control by Julia Elmers, Moritz Mückschel, Katja Akgün, Tjalf Ziemssen, Christian Beste

“…Importantly, cytoarchitectonic integrity as measured using neurofilaments modulates nonlinear directional connectivity, particularly when complex reconfiguration of perceptual and action mapping is required. The study thus shows an inter-relation between different levels of biological functioning—the level of cytoarchitectonic integrity and neurophysiological directed communication—for inhibitory control and emphasizes the role of nonlinear brain connectivity in cognitive control.…”

Inertial-relaxed splitting for composite monotone inclusions by Oré, Ernesto, Mahey, Philippe, Ocaña, Eladio

“…In a similar spirit of the extension of the proximal point method developed by Alves et al. [2], we propose in this work an Inertial-Relaxed primal-dual splitting method to address the problem of decomposing the minimization of the sum of three convex functions, one of them being smooth, and considering a general coupling subspace. …”

Random features and polynomial rules by Fabián Aguirre-López, Silvio Franz, Mauro Pastore

“…Our approach, built with tools from the statistical mechanics of disordered systems, maps the random features model to an equivalent polynomial model, and allows us to plot average generalization curves as functions of the two main control parameters of the problem: the number of random features $N$ and the size $P$ of the training set, both assumed to scale as powers in the input dimension $D$. …”

Non-metrizable manifolds and contractibility by Mathieu Baillif

“…We show that a non-metrizable manifold cannot be heCWc if it has one of the following properties: it contains a countably compact non-compact subspace; it contains a copy of an ω1-compact subspace of an ω1-tree; it contains a non-Lindelöf closed subspace functionally narrow in it. (These results hold for more general spaces than just manifolds.) …”
