Folklore Studies, Fieldwork and the Making of a Domestic Anthropology in Fin‐de‐Siècle Britain
History, EarlyView.Abstract This article follows the ‘communities of knowledge‐making’ that formed around folklore collection at the end of the nineteenth century. Often regarded as eccentric or marginal figures in the history of human science, these collectors in fact engaged in lively and sophisticated discussions about the methodologies needed to study the mental ...

An Adaptive Cuckoo Search-Based Optimization Model for Addressing Cyber-Physical Security Problems
Mathematics, 2021 One of the key challenges in cyber-physical systems (CPS) is the dynamic fitting of data sources under multivariate or mixture distribution models to determine abnormalities.

The Irony of Liberation in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Journal of American Culture, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest vividly portrays the tragic consequences of repressive psychiatric authority. The film was—and remains—one of the most memorable and well‐known products of anti‐psychiatry sentiment. Opponents of American psychiatry from the time period of Cuckoo's Nest objected to what they saw as social control ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We model autumn stopover distribution of UK common cuckoos across two migration routes, revealing distinct environmental drivers and key geographic hotspots. Iberian mountain systems and the Po watershed emerge as critical stopover regions, with climate, elevation, habitat heterogeneity, and hunting risk shaping route‐specific patterns.

FPGA‐based implementation of cuckoo search
IET Computers & Digital Techniques, 2018 Cuckoo search (CS) is a recent swarm intelligence‐based meta‐heuristic optimisation algorithm that has shown excellent results for a broad class of optimisation problems in diverse fields. However, CS is generally compute intensive and slow when implemented in software requiring large number of fitness function evaluations to obtain acceptable ...

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring. Abstract This study

Gradient‐Based Cuckoo Search for Global Optimization [PDF]
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2014 One of the major advantages of stochastic global optimization methods is the lack of the need of the gradient of the objective function. However, in some cases, this gradient is readily available and can be used to improve the numerical performance of stochastic optimization methods specially the quality and precision of global optimal solution.
