Reinforcement Learning With Timed Constraints for Robotics Motion Planning

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
This work presents a unified automata‐based reinforcement learning framework that enforces MITL time‐bounded task specifications in both MDPs and POMDPs. Results from grid‐world and office scenarios show robust policy learning under stochastic dynamics and partial observability.

MultiRobot Motion Planning Based on Diffusion and Time–Space Path Planning

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
This diffusion‐based framework for multirobot motion planning reuses a pretrained single‐robot Motion Planning Diffusion model, employing an alternating trajectory generation scheme guided by inter‐robot collision costs, resulting in coordinated planning without additional multi‐robot training.

Museomics Deciphers the Phylogeographic Differentiation and Conservation Status of a Montane Pheasant

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

A theory of political divergence and gradual institutional change

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Why do some societies succeed in breaking away from historical traditions while others remain trapped? This paper proposes a formal theory to investigate the interaction between short‐run and long‐run political dynamics, highlighting a co‐evolution of political institutions and social structures.

Empirical Evidence of Firm States of Corporate Social Responsibility and Irresponsibility: Transition Frequencies and State Drivers

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A common assumption is that firms become more socially responsible over time. Indeed, numerous conceptual papers focus on the issue of describing the CSR states that firms advance through. Yet, related empirical research remains limited and the assumption of steady progression across CSR states remains untested.

Student profiles of change in formative assessment behaviour: Replication and evaluation for grade prediction

British Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract As students learn and practice new skills in university courses, their behaviour can change in response to competing demands and increasing content complexity. However, most metrics used to evaluate study behaviour focus on the number or sequence of activities rather than on the change of behaviour.

Analysis of Insurance Claim Settlement Process with Markovian Arrival Processes [PDF]

, 2016
This paper proposes a model for the claim occurrence, reporting, and handling process of insurance companies. It is assumed that insurance claims occur according to a Markovian arrival process.

Genetic Evaluation of Pure Line Laying Hens Based on Crossover Testing Data From Simulated Populations

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Commercial laying hen breeding programs aim to maximize the performance of crossbred animals. However, selection is usually based on data from pure lines raised in controlled nucleus environments, which may not fully predict the yields under commercial conditions.
