Parsing Reward Processing Substages With Multimodal EEG–fMRI

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 3, February 15, 2026.
Reward processing is complex and parsing anticipatory from consummatory substages will develop a more specific taxonomy of neural motivation and pleasure systems. Our multimodal data indicate EEG–fMRI covariance linking reward feedback EEG measures to dACC‐striatal regions, while reward anticipation EEG measures covaried with motor planning and ...

Knowledge discovery in hyper-heuristic using case-based reasoning on course timetabling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This paper presents a new hyper-heuristic method using Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) for solving course timetabling problems. The term Hyper-heuristics has recently been employed to refer to 'heuristics that choose heuristics' rather than heuristics that ...

Alignment and Differentiation: How Language and Network Proximity Drive Opinion‐Based Group Formation Online

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 210-224, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the interplay between language and social connectedness in forming opinion‐based groups on social media. Drawing on small‐world theory and social identity theory, we propose a dual‐layer approach that combines semantic and network analysis to investigate the dynamics of group formation on X/Twitter during the 2021 COVID‐19 ...

Optimized Asymmetrical Fuzzy‐2DOFTIDF Controller for LFC of Three‐Area Multi‐Sources Interconnected Power System Along With HAE‐FC and UPFC Using a New SOA Algorithm

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 866-886, February 2026.
This study proposes a novel Asymmetrical‐Fuzzy Two‐Degree‐of‐Freedom Tilt‐Integral‐Derivative (AF‐2DOF‐TIDF) controller for load frequency control in a multi‐area, multi‐source power system integrating Hydrogen‐Aqua‐Electrolyzer‐Fuel‐Cell (HAE‐FC) units and a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC).

A Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) Model for Elevation‐Aware Vehicle Routing: Optimizing Fuel Consumption and Traffic Congestion

open access: yesAdvanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study proposes an elevation‐aware QUBO model that optimizes multi‐vehicle routes by jointly reducing fuel consumption and traffic congestion. By integrating gradient‐corrected Dijkstra routing with quantum annealing, the method achieves substantial fuel‐saving effects in hilly regions such as San Francisco and significantly decreases route overlap,

Hyper-heuristic driven smart contracts for DeFi: a framework for dynamic rule optimization and adaptive executions

open access: yesFrontiers in Blockchain
The static and hard-coded logic of smart contracts in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms significantly limits their adaptability in dynamic and volatile market environments.

Optimizing Total Suspended Solids Mitigation in a Data‐Limited Watershed: A Network‐Based Advection–Reaction Model Applied to the Canal del Dique, Colombia

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Total Suspended Solids (TSS) significantly degrade water quality by reducing light penetration and oxygen availability, while facilitating the transport of toxic contaminants. Managing TSS in watersheds requires an understanding of both hydrological connectivity and pollutant dynamics; however, these efforts are significantly constrained by ...

Tuning a Simulated Annealing metaheuristic for cross-domain search [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Simulated Annealing is a well known local search metaheuristic used for solving computationally hard optimization problems. Cross-domain search poses a higher level issue where a single solution method is used with minor, preferably no modification for ...
