All the Islands the Island: the crafting of Cortázar's 'La isla a mediodía' by Moran, DP

“…This essay aims to achieve a better understanding of how Julio Cortázar came to write one of his most iconic stories, ‘La isla a mediodía’, as and when he did by identifying the various literary sources on which he may have drawn, including D. H. Lawrence’s story ‘The Man Who Loved Islands’, various works by Aldous Huxley, and, above all, William Golding’s novel Pincher Martin. …”

Overcoming endurance issue : UAV-enabled communications with proactive caching by Xu, Xiaoli, Zeng, Yong, Guan, Yong Liang, Zhang, Rui

“…Specifically, we focus on content-centric communication systems, where a UAV is dispatched to serve a group of ground nodes (GNs) with random and asynchronous requests for files drawn from a given set. With the proposed scheme, at the beginning of each operation period, the UAV pro-actively transmits the files to a subset of selected GNs that cooperatively cache all the files. …”

Wind tunnel testing of a ducted-fan unmanned aerial vehicle by Shiah, Zi Yang.

“…The experiments were carried out in a closed-loop wind tunnel with the full-scale MAV at different configurations. Coefficients of lift, drag and pitching moment were first discussed in a simple configuration of varying pitch angle with different wing setups without the propeller motor. …”

Financial forecasting using meta-cognitive fuzzy neural networks by Singh Akhand Pratap

“…Some potential ways to address the above issues could be usage of synthetic data through time-series models to train the model till the test date; usage of manual inferences drawn from the indicators to make judgements about the present day; usage of multiple machine learning models and combining the results from all; usage of dynamic feature selection mechanism to make improvements to the prediction; and usage of dynamic thresholds that are dependent on the market conditions. …”
