Recently, the slime mould algorithm (SMA) has become popular in function optimization, because it effectively uses exploration and exploitation to reach an optimal solution or near-optimal solution. However, SMA two random search agents from whole population decide future displacement direction best agents, which limits its exploration. To solve this problem, we investigate adaptive approach wh...

(17% albedo at 0.56 mm and 58 phase) yet found on icy Galilean satellites. While material of comparable albedo is found on During Galileo’s G7 orbit, the Solid State Imaging (SSI) Ganymede and Callisto, low-albedo europan materials are camera acquired pictures of the spacecraft shadow point on much redder. All europan surface materials exhibit an opposiEuropa’s surface as well as a comparison s...

This paper generalizes the notion of monotonicities to opposition properties (OPs). Some propositions regarding the OPs of determiners will be proposed and proved. We will also define the notion of OP-chain and deduce a condition that enables us to determine the OPs of an iterated quantifier in its predicates based on the OPs of its constituent determiners.

JOHN KNOTT, Popular opposition to the 1834 Poor Law, London and Sydney, Croom Helm, 1986, 8vo, pp. 284, £19.95. Many distinct advances in scholarship have recently converged to re-emphasize the centrality of the Poor Law to the social history of English medicine. It has lately become clear, for the first time, just how extensive were disbursements for sick paupers under the parochial system of ...
