Abstract: Fitness landscape analysis (FLA) is quite important in evolutionary computation. In this article, we propose a novel FLA method, the nearest-better network (NBN), which uses the ...

President Donald Trump has a fresh chance this week to act on a priority voters continually say they want fixed — but over which he’s in denial. The high and rising prices of health care, groceries ...

President Donald Trump’s 2024 victory rested on support from voters who are less engaged with politics, an assessment of the election based on newly available voter file data confirms, as Democratic ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...

Practical word problems are often considered one of the most complex parts of elementary school mathematics. They require students to understand the context of a math problem, identify what the ...

Existing approaches for tunnel face stability analysis usually apply for circular cross-sections and solutions for tunnel face stability evaluation with city gate cross-sections by kinematic approach ...

Emily Sharp and Kunal Nabar collaborate on a puzzle that’s greater than the sum of its parts. By Caitlin Lovinger Jump to: Tricky Clues | Today’s Theme SUNDAY PUZZLE — Will Shortz, in his print ...

Abstract: In this article, a new defuzzification algorithm is proposed for multiclassification problems, which can effectively improve the accuracy, stability, and computational efficiency of interval ...

Students often struggle to connect math with the real world. Word problems—a combination of words, numbers, and mathematical operations—can be a perfect vehicle to take abstract numbers off the page.
