Evidence for encounter-conditional, area-restricted search in a preliminary study of Colombian blowgun hunters.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Active search for prey is energetically costly, so understanding how foragers optimize search has been central to foraging theory. Some theoretical work has suggested that foragers of randomly distributed prey should search using Lévy flights, while work

Industrial Symbiosis as a Neglected Opportunity in Industrial Decarbonisation Pathways: Qualitative Insights From the Australian Manufacturing Sector

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial symbiosis (IS) represents a key strategy for industrial decarbonisation (ID) by converting one industry's waste into valuable inputs for another, reducing emissions and resource extraction. Scientific studies have explored the concept, implementation approaches and theoretical foundations of IS.

Analysis and Classification of Partial Shading Conditions in Photovoltaic Arrays

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents new mathematical models for describing P–V curve extrema under different shading scenarios and applies machine learning classifiers that use features derived from P–V characteristics for accurate fault identification. ABSTRACT With the escalating global transition toward renewable energy, ensuring the operational stability and ...

Front Propagation of Exponentially Truncated Fractional-Order Epidemics

open access: yesFractal and Fractional, 2022
The existence of landscape constraints in the home range of living organisms that adopt Lévy-flight movement patterns, prevents them from making arbitrarily large displacements.

Improved Power Tracking and Performance Evaluation Using a Tri‐Meta Hybrid DOA–CSA–WOA‐Based MPPT Controller for Standalone PV System

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A Tri‐Meta Hybrid DOA–CSA–WOA Maximum Power Point Tracking controller is developed to enhance photovoltaic system performance. The proposed approach achieves higher tracking efficiency, faster convergence, and robust operation under dynamic irradiance and partial shading conditions.

The topology of Rayleigh-Levy flights in two dimensions

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Rayleigh-Lévy flights are simplified cosmological tools that capture certain essential statistical properties of the cosmic density field, including hierarchical structures in higher-order correlations, making them a valuable reference for studying the ...

An improved QPSO algorithm base on social learning and Lévy flights

open access: yesSystems Science & Control Engineering, 2018
The centre of the potential well of the quantum-behaviour particle swarm optimization (QPSO) is restricted to the super rectangle which is made up of the local optimal position and the global optimal position.

Cuckoo search via Lévy flights for the capacitated vehicle routing problem

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Engineering International, 2017
For this paper, we explored the implementation of the cuckoo search algorithm applied to the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The cuckoo search algorithm was implemented with Lévy flights with the 2-opt and double-bridge operations, and with 500 ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...
