Distributed Formation Control for Heterogeneous Robot Systems Based on Competitive Mechanism

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an adaptive formation control method for a heterogeneous robot swarm, utilising a multilevel formation task tree to model various types of formation tasks and a single‐state distributed k‐winner‐take‐all (S‐DKWTA) algorithm to address the MRTA problem.

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

The unintended consequences of the blended workforce in the Australian Public Service: Effects on middle manager well‐being

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract The adoption of a blended workforce model, comprising both ongoing and non‐ongoing employees, has become increasingly common in public sector organisations. Despite known challenges, including high turnover and knowledge gaps, its impact on middle managers’ well‐being remains understudied.

Dynamics of Circular Economy Transformation Processes in Relation to Individual Waste Types Recycling – Net Zero for Sustainable Development

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The main goal of the study is the quantification of the disparities in the recycling rates of the individual types of waste in the European Union member countries. The data on the waste recycling rates for the period 2004–2021 come from Eurostat. A linear regression analysis is engaged for the analytical processing.
