There are many compelling reasons for investing in young people’s health and development. For one, young people aged 10-24 constitute some 1.8 billion and represent 27 percent of the world’s population. Second and more important, behaviors formed and choices made by this large population have lasting implications for individual and public health, will determine the health of this generation as ...

The primary function of a suspension system of a vehicle is to isolate the road excitations experienced by the tires from being transmitted to the passengers. In this paper, we formulate an optimal vehicle suspension design problem with the quarter-car vehicle dynamic model. A new multi-objective genetic algorithm is used for Pareto optimization of a two-degree of freedom vehicle vibration mode...

Introducing more types of integrals will provide more choices todeal with various types of objectives and components in real problems. Firstly,in this paper, a (T) fuzzy integral, in which the integrand, the measure andthe integration result are all multi-valued, is presented with the introductionof T-norm and T-conorm. Then, some classical results of the integral areobtained based on the prope...

In this paper we introduce several new heuristics as to speed up known lattice basis reduction methods and improve the quality of the computed reduced lattice basis in practice. We analyze substantial experimental data and to our knowledge, we are the first to present a general heuristic for determining which variant of the reduction algorithm, for varied parameter choices, yields the most effi...

Rats gathered pellets from the tops of 15.5-cm-tall poles. In a matrix of poles, bait was located on the tops of poles arranged in either a square (Experiment 1) or linear (Experiment 2) configuration. The specific locations of baited poles varied unpredictably from trial to trial. The data show that the rats' choices were controlled by the spatial configuration of baited locations. This indica...

In this paper we introduce a four-parameter generalized Weibull distribution. This new distribution has a more general form of failure rate function. It is more general for modeling than six ageing classes of life distributions with appropriate choices of parameter values, so it can display decreasing, increasing, bathtub shaped, unimodal, increasing-decreasing increasing and decreasing-increas...

The Covid- 19 pandemic had a significant impact on populations throughout the world. As countries implemented lockdowns or restrictions movement of people, and most services activities were shifted to online mode, it cascading effect social lives too. usual entertainment recre- ational choices no longer viable, people their attention towards other modes entertainment, viz., digital media etc. y...

The last decade in Ireland has seen rapid societal change, including the enshrining of equal marriage and women’s right to bodily autonomy constitution via public referendum. In response, National Museum enacted a programme collecting material culture such significant contemporary events Ireland, which led formal establishment Contemporary Collection. referendum on abolishment 8th Amendment Iri...
