Class of constructions of even variables Boolean function with optimum algebraic immunity by CHEN Yin-dong, LU Pei-zhong

“…A second order recursive construction of even variables Boolean function with optimum algebraic immunity was proposed.It could be observed that the constructed Boolean functions have well cryptographic properties,such as good balance,high algebraic degree and high nonlinearity.Further more,it was generalized to a class of constructions for Boolean functions with optimum algebraic immunity.…”

Effects of the drug carbamazepine on the structure and functioning of a freshwater aquatic ecosystem by Elien Versteegen, Miia Häkkinen, Dailing Wu, Ineke Heikamp-de Jong, Ivo Roessink, Edwin T.H.M. Peeters, Paul J. van den Brink

“…With a mesocosm experiment, we investigated the long-term ecological effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of carbamazepine (0.001–100 µg/L, performed in triplicate) on 1200 L freshwater ecosystems to provide more ecologically relevant insights. The study intended to identify sensitive species and assess the overall impact on the structure and functioning of the aquatic ecosystem. …”

Fuzzy Logic Technique Based on Classification Function Application in Quality Control by Salman Hussien Omran, Salam Waley Shneen, Batool Ibrahim Jameel, Omar Hassoon, Mohammed A. Fayad, Firas Basim Ismail

“…To meet the control limits for quality control and defective percentages for all samples using (w = 0.2, 0.5, 0.6) and (λ = 0.5, 0.7, 0.9), then compare the adoption of the traditional technique with fuzzy logic while adopting variable cases through the arrangement function. It can be noticed that the chart of fuzzy control is more economically quicker and more accurate at monitoring production quality, enabling the diagnosis of defective units throughout the production process. …”

Properties of Shannon and Rényi entropies of the Poisson distribution as the functions of intensity parameter by Volodymyr Braiman, Anatoliy Malyarenko, Yuliya Mishura, Yevheniia Anastasiia Rudyk

“… We consider two types of entropy, namely, Shannon and Rényi entropies of the Poisson distribution, and establish their properties as the functions of intensity parameter. More precisely, we prove that both entropies increase with intensity. …”

A New hybrid generalized CG- method for non-linear functions by Abbas Al-Bayati, Hamsa Chilmerane

“…In this paper a new extended generalized conjugate gradient algorithm is proposed for unconstrained optimization, which is considered as anew inverse hyperbolic model .In order to improve the rate of convergence of the new technique, a new hybrid technique between the standard F/R CG-method and Sloboda CG-method using quadratic and non-quadratic models is proposed by using exact and inexact line searches. This method is more efficient and robust when applied on number of well-known nonlinear test function.…”
