An Improved DV-Hop Localization Algorithm Based on Bat Algorithm

Cybernetics and Information Technologies, 2016
In the DV-Hop algorithm, the average distance per hop is one of the factors that affect the accuracy of the positioning. In this paper, an improved DV-Hop localization algorithm based on bat algorithm (BAD-Hop) is proposed to solve the error which is ...

An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Enhanced optimisation of MPLS network traffic using a novel adjustable Bat algorithm with loudness optimizer

Results in Engineering
The increasing dependency on network connectivity necessitates superior network performance, characterized by continuous availability and high reliability. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks have emerged as a robust solution to the limitations

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

A Lévy Flight Based BAT Optimization Algorithm for Block-based Image Compression

Tehnički Glasnik, 2022
Many metaheuristics have been adopted to solve the codebook generation problem in image processing. In this paper, the Bat algorithm is combined by the Lévy flight distribution to find out the global optimum codebook.

Bat Algorithm with Individual Local Search [PDF]

, 2018
Bat algorithm (BA) is a well-known heuristic algorithm, and has been applied to many practical problems. However, the local search method employed in BA has the shortcoming of premature convergence, and does not perform well in early search stage. To avoid this issue, this paper proposes a new update method for local search.

Three‐dimensional digital analysis of musteloid masticatory muscle architecture

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Musteloids span an enormous breadth of dietary modes within a single superfamily. In this study, we utilize digital dissection techniques to reconstruct the internal 3D anatomy of muscles within the musteloid feeding apparatus, and explore how dietary specializations might alter the size, orientation, and curvature of fascicles therein.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Data, not documents: Moving beyond theories of information‐seeking behavior to advance data discovery

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 649-664, April 2025.
Abstract Many theories of human information behavior (HIB) assume that information objects are in text document format. This paper argues four important HIB theories are insufficient for describing users' search strategies for data because of assumptions about the attributes of objects that users seek.

Who Knows Best What the Next Year Will Hold for You? The Validity of Direct and Personality‐based Predictions of Future Life Experiences Across Different Perceivers

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract This study explored the validity of person judgements by targets and their acquaintances (‘informants’) in longitudinally predicting a broad range of psychologically meaningful life experiences. Judgements were gathered from four sources (targets, N = 189; and three types of informants, N = 1352), and their relative predictive validity was ...
