Cultural Landscape and Heritage as an Opportunity for Territorial Resilience—The Case of the Border Between Castile and Leon and Cantabria by María Teresa Pérez Cano, Ainhoa Maruri Arana

“…After the COVID-19 pandemic and in a context of overpopulation in large cities, the rural area emerged as a space of opportunity for more sustainable territorial rebalancing. Despite the evident tendency towards their population emptying, they are places endowed with their own qualities and specific values, currently in danger, especially in border areas between the regions, which are far from centralised nuclei and generate conflicts due to the transfer of powers to them from the State. …”

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Driver Training in the Use of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems by Małgorzata Pełka, Adam Rosiński

“…Given the large volume and nonlinear nature of the input data, a heuristic, expert-based approach was used to identify key evaluation criteria, structure the decision-making process, and define fuzzy rule sets and membership functions. This phase served as the foundation for the development of a fuzzy logic model in the MATLAB environment. …”

Generalized volume-complexity for Lovelock black holes by Monireh Emami, Shahrokh Parvizi

“…Abstract We study the time dependence of the generalized complexity of Lovelock black holes using the “complexity = anything” conjecture, which expands upon the notion of “complexity = volume” and generates a large class of observables. By applying a specific condition, a more limited class can be chosen, whose time growth is equivalent to a conserved momentum. …”

Efficient collision-avoidance navigation strategy for autonomous surface vehicles in unstructured and constricted marine environments by Wenlong Meng, Rongdian Ku, Yanbo Pu, Xiaoxiao Shi, Ya Gong

“…In this study, we tackle the aforementioned complexities by incorporating progressive sampling and point cloud clustering, which jointly expedite the detection of constrained waterways in unstructured marine environments. More specifically, we generate multiple random trees from these sampling points, thereby bolstering both navigational accuracy and overall computational efficiency. …”
