COVARIANCE MATRIX OF MULTIVARIATE REWARD PROCESSES WITH NONLINEAR REWARD FUNCTIONS [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2003 Multivariate reward processes with reward functions of constant rates, defined on a semi-Markov process, first were studied by Masuda and Sumita, 1991. Reward processes with nonlinear reward functions were introduced in Soltani, 1996.

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10513-10531, 30 August 2026.ABSTRACT Land use conflicts (LUCs) significantly impact regional food security and ecological security. Identifying LUCs helps cut down ecological risks. This study focuses on the Yangtze River Middle Reaches Megalopolis (YRMRM) as a case, employing a landscape pattern approach to construct a land use conflict measurement model.

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9126-9143, 15 August 2026.ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2026.A physics‐grounded framework based on decoherence timescales (τ_dec vs τ_func), Markovian validity, and falsifiability criteria is applied across molecular systems to distinguish where quantum effects are necessary, marginal, or irrelevant. The analysis integrates quantum chemistry, biological quantum mechanisms, and quantum computing under a unified ...

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 401-412, August 2026.Abstract Historical biogeography faces a persistent conceptual and methodological dilemma concerning the nature of its central analytical units. Using the recent proposal by Schultz and Cracraft (Cladistics 40, 653) as a catalyst, this article critiques the argument that causal inference necessitates the replacement of areas of endemism with barriers ...

Measured‐State Conditioned Recursive Feasibility for Stochastic Model Predictive Control
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 5964-5981, 25 July 2026.ABSTRACT In this paper, we address the problem of designing stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) schemes for linear systems affected by unbounded disturbances. The contribution of the paper is rooted in a measured‐state initialization strategy. First, due to the nonzero probability of violating chance‐constraints in the case of unbounded noise ...

Weaving Intelligence: Thermally Drawn Multimaterial Fibers Toward AI‐Enabled Smart Textiles
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 40, 17 July 2026.Thermally drawn multimaterial fibers are rapidly advancing as intelligent structural units for next‐generation smart textiles. Integrating multimaterial architectures with neuromorphic and spiking‐neural‐network principles enables fabrics that can sense, compute, and adapt autonomously.

AI in chemical engineering: From promise to practice
AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) in chemical engineering has moved from promise to practice: physics‐aware (gray‐box) models are gaining traction, reinforcement learning complements model predictive control (MPC), and generative AI powers documentation, digitization, and safety workflows.

Natural Vegetation Dynamics Confound the Impact of Ecological Restoration on Dryland Hydrology
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Large‐scale ecological restoration (ER) projects have increased shrub and grass cover and growth in arid and semi‐arid regions, but concurrently reduced terrestrial water storage (TWS) through enhanced evapotranspiration (ET). However, the impact of ER on TWS remains unclear due to the confounding effect of natural vegetation dynamics (driven ...
