Bat algorithm based on kinetic adaptation and elite communication for engineering problems

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bat algorithm, a metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the foraging behaviour of bats, has been employed to tackle optimization problems. Known for its ease of implementation, parameter tunability, and strong global search capabilities, this algorithm finds application across diverse optimization problem domains. However, in the

The Impact of Whole‐Animal Fluid Preservation on the Observed Gut Microbiome of Vertebrates: Implications for the Use of Museum Specimens in Microbiome Research

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The vertebrate gut houses diverse microbial communities that provide insights into their host's ecological and evolutionary histories. Nevertheless, microbiome research has not been distributed equally across host taxonomy, geography and timescales. The millions of fluid‐preserved specimens stored in natural history museums worldwide represent

“We, to Them, Are Their Heroes”: Narratives of Rescue in White Australian Veterans' Memories of the Vietnamese

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
This article examines white Australian veterans' views and memories of Vietnamese people in three stages: during the war, after the Fall of Saigon, and upon return to Vietnam.

In the case of the war in Vietnam, Australian men often interacted with local women on base, in civilian spaces, or in passing. Occasionally, couples would form private relationships and, in some cases, marry and return to Australia at the end of deployment.
