AN ENHANCED JUMPING SPIDER OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM
Carpathian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2022 Jumping Spider Optimization (JSO) algorithm is a more recent meta-heuristic algorithm shown to outperform recent algorithms in the literature. This paper presents a JSO variant that modifies standard JSO in its global search and jumping on prey phases to improve further its global search capability.

The Journal of American Culture, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tim Burton's Christmas trilogy, Batman Returns, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands are all characterized by his trademark features. These include characters with ambiguous identities, apparently “normal” worlds adjacent to spaces associated with difference and exclusion, and the inevitable intrusion of the latter into the ...

How dispersal rates depend on the prey capture strategy: A case study of Georgia's spiders
Ecology and EvolutionLarge‐scale barcoding projects help to aggregate information on genetic variability of multiple species throughout their ranges. Comparing DNA sequences of both non‐conspecific and conspecific individuals from distant parts of their ranges helps to ...

Do crab spiders perceive Batesian mimicry in hoverflies? [PDF]
, 2016 Many putative Batesian mimics only approximately resemble their supposed models, and such “imperfect” mimics are readily distinguished from defended species by humans and other vertebrates.

The engaged action hypothesis: Explaining the merits of external focus cues
Mind &Language, EarlyView.The attentional focus effect—the theory that focusing on the body during skilled tasks leads to suboptimal results relative to focusing externally—is well established, but it is not known why it holds. The most widely cited explanation is the constrained action hypothesis: Focusing on the body interferes with beneficial automatic motor programs.

Cooperative effects enhance the transport properties of molecular spider teams [PDF]
, 2013 Molecular spiders are synthetic molecular motors based on DNA nanotechnology. While natural molecular motors have evolved towards very high efficiency, it remains a major challenge to develop efficient designs for man-made molecular motors.

Fugitive Junctures: Life‐Seeking, Route‐Finding and the Mobile Ensemble at Kenya's Borders
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.Short Abstract Fugitivity has become an important conceptual frame to understand the illegalised mobilities of contemporary migrants in conjunction with enslaved people's historical lines of flight as spatial praxes to seize their own freedom. Thinking from Kenya, and drawing on research with migrants, border officials, activists, police and smugglers,
