Even for a country that regularly battles with extreme heat, summer 2022 has been harsh one Japan. Christine Ro examines what will be needed to achieve its ambitious target break the cycle of heat related deaths

A discrete time version of Lanchester’s ‘aimed fire’ model for combat is considered. The resulting equations are treated as a repeated battles and the effect rearmament between investigated. usefulness considering solution in phase-plane emphasized number possible classroom extension exercises included.

The phyllosphere, i.e., the aerial parts of the plant, provides one of the most important niches for microbial colonization. This niche supports the survival and, often, proliferation of microbes such as fungi and bacteria with diverse lifestyles including epiphytes, saprophytes, and pathogens. Although most microbes may complete the life cycle on the leaf surface, pathogens must enter the leaf...

Badcock and Crespi have advanced the hypothesis that autism and schizophrenia are caused by imbalanced imprinting in the brain. They argue that an imbalance between the effects of paternally and maternally expressed genes on brain development results in either an extreme paternal (autism) or maternal brain (schizophrenia). In this paper their conceptual model is discussed and criticized since i...

When dealing with non-trivial social systems, MultiAgent Based Simulation (MABS) makes it possible to model and simulate social aspects without neglecting articulated motivations, decisions and behaviours by individuals. In this paper, we experiment with the simulation of a peculiar sort of social system – namely, Medieval Battles – by using general-purpose agent methodologies and technologies ...

In this paper, we concern ourselves with cryptocurrency and how cryptocurrency affects the cryptocurrency market as well as the fiat currency market. The whole topic will be sepreted into two sections: competition among different currencies, as well as competition among exchanges[2]. We aim at figuring out the current circumstance of cryptocurrency which as a casual visitor in the market, and a...

Classical coreference systems encode various syntactic, discourse, and semantic phenomena explicitly, using heterogenous features computed from hand-crafted heuristics. In contrast, we present a state-of-the-art coreference system that captures such phenomena implicitly, with a small number of homogeneous feature templates examining shallow properties of mentions. Surprisingly, our features are...
