Deep reinforcement learning-based resource reservation algorithm for emergency Internet-of-things slice by Guolin SUN, Ruijie OU, Guisong LIU

“…Based on the requirements of ultra-low latency services for emergency Internet-of-things (EIoT) applications,a multi-slice network architecture for ultra-low latency emergency IoT was designed,and a general methodology framework based on resource reservation,sharing and isolation for multiple slices was proposed.In the proposed framework,real-time and automatic inter-slice resource demand prediction and allocation were realized based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL),while intra-slice user resource allocation was modeled as a shape-based 2-dimension packing problem and solved with a heuristic numerical algorithm,so that intra-slice resource customization was achieved.Simulation results show that the resource reservation-based method enable EIoT slices to explicitly reserve resources,provide a better security isolation level,and DRL could guarantee accuracy and real-time updates of resource reservations.Compared with four existing algorithms,dueling deep Q-network (DQN) performes better than the benchmarks.…”

Linguistic and Cultural Specifics of Gratitude in Arabic Business Communication in English by L. A. Kochetova, Ya.Sh. S. Al-Bayati

“…It is noted that a limited set of lexical and grammatical constructions is used in the corpus of the Arabic English-language business communication, and explicite performatives dominate. It is shown that in both corpuses, gratitude is used to formalize a request or demand; in Arabic English communication, flattery acts as a variation of the speech act rethinking of gratitude. …”

Quality of Life Theory II. Quality of Life as the Realization of Life Potential: A Biological Theory of Human Being by Soren Ventegodt, Joav Merrick, Niels Jorgen Andersen

“…This theory is strongly inspired by Maslow and the review furthermore serves as an example on how to fulfill the demand for an overall theory of life (or philosophy of life), which we believe is necessary for global and generic quality-of-life research.Whereas traditional medical science has often been inspired by mechanical models in its attempts to understand human beings, this theory takes an explicitly biological starting point. …”
