Polygonal approximation is an effective yet challenging digital curve representation for image analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision. This paper proposes a novel approach, integer particle swarm optimization (iPSO), for polygonal approximation. When compared to the traditional binary version of particle swarm optimization (bPSO), the new iPSO directly uses an integer vector to repre...

According to research different countries have unique experiences in solving ethical conflicts. The current study characterized the situation of media regulation UK as a crisis, since two similar regulators function instead one single national body. Independent Press Standards Organization (IPSO) oversees most newspapers, while Monitor for (IMPRESS) deals with local and regional publications. a...

In order to solve the problem of quantitative division multisubject quality responsibility in construction project disputes, this article proposes a model projects based on an improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO). First, set classification guidelines for risk behaviors theory organizational behavior. Through these, interconnections between different types and defects were explored. Follo...

Highly regioselective (3 + 2) cycloadditions of (trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)benzynes [(triflyloxy)benzynes] with 1,3-dipoles followed by cross-coupling reactions provided multisubstituted benzo-fused heterocycles. The triflyloxy group at the 3-position of benzynes, and even that at the remote 4-position, greatly affected the regiocontrol of the cycloaddition. These groups also served to instal...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(18)H(28)N(2)Si(2), occupies a special position on an inversion centre. The Si-CH(2)-C(ipso) plane is approximately orthogonal to the plane of the pyridine rings, the corresponding dihedral angle being 82.0 (2)°.

It is common for contracts to include a clause that provides on an event of default the counterparty has unconditional right terminate contract or accelerate payment (an ipso facto clause). The regulation clauses become topic debate in recent years with number jurisdictions introducing constraints such as part broader restructuring reform packages. These Germany 2021 (as its implementation EU R...

IN “BRIDGING THE DIVIDE IN THE HOLY LAND” (News Focus, 21 Apr., p. 352), J. Bohannon discusses his view of how Israeli and Palestinian scientists are working together within the frame of the Israeli-Palestinian Scientific Organization (IPSO). The article ends on an optimistic note, with the Palestinian scientist Mukhles Sowwan stating that “science is a universal language, like music. It can ma...
