An optimal representation to Random Maximum k Satisfiability on the Hopfield Neural Network for High order logic(k ≤ 3) by Hamza Abubakar

“…The computer simulation has been developed based on RAN-MAX-kSAT-HNN to explore the feasibility of a Hopfield neural network as a neuro-symbolic integration model in carrying out RAN-MAXkSAT logic programming optimally. The proposed model has been compared with the existing models published in the literature in term of Global minimum ratio (zM), Fitness energy landscapes (FEL), Root Means square error (RMSE), R-square and computation time (CPU). …”

Educational Journeys Through Time: Overview and Impacts by Sanja Iguman Glušac, Predrag Krstić, Aleksandar Ostojić

“…It underscores the importance of the passage—the often-overlooked segment of travel—as a dimension of transformation, meaning-making, and knowledge-gaining. Reflecting on the legacy of educational travel, from ancient philosophers and Renaissance humanists to modern-day programs, we question the evolving dynamics of mobility in a globalized world. …”

ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT POLICIES & STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND ITS IMPACT IN AGRICLTURAL POVERTY IN ECONOMIES OF DEVELOPING STATES by Alaa M. Abdullah

“…How can these programs be able to improve the life of the poor for a long- term by depending on the hypothesis which says that economic policies have not created these effects in the rate of agricultural product and in the form which create significant effects in the direction of elevating rates of agricultural poverty through eliminating the variance in distributing agricultural lands .The study has limited a selected sample from developing states of the year 2004 .Throughout the study ,results of standard and statistical analysis were significant and the relation between the rate of agricultural growth and Gini indicator inside the agricultural sector as being dependent variant .This means that the advantages of growth means that the advantages of growth are not distributed equally for there was no clear relation between growth and poverty ,considering that low levels of variance should have been of different effects in growth in comparison with high levels of variance .For this reason ,each state must face a certain level of variance and degrees of variance differ across various states by depending upon structural factors .Therefore ,achieving sustainable growth to be distributed equally is considered as a basic factor in decreasing poverty levels .…”

Regular tessellation of the Lobachevskii plane by P.I. Troshin

“…The following methods were used: - implementation of the basic knowledge in the group of motions of the Lobachevskii plane in the Beltrami–Klein model, its trigonometry and isometries to the other known models to construct a prototile and tessellation layers; - splitting the tessellation by layers and layers by subclasses of tiles, studying the arrangement of each layer with respect to the previous one, finding the number of tiles in the layers with the help of mathematical induction; - devising an algorithm in the form of a pseudocode and in the programming language of Wolfram Mathematica. In the course of the study, the following results were obtained: - an algorithm for regular tessellation of the Lobachevskii plane, which produces the tessellation layer by layer, without repetition of the tiles, by means of proper rigid motions applied to the initial prototile; - the algorithm implemented in the programming language of Wolfram Mathematica; - formulas for estimation of the number of tiles in layers for the suggested algorithm. …”
