Summary: The phenomenon of dynamical consistency in a network of nonlinear oscillators was investigated both numerically and experimentally. Dynamical consistency refers to the ability of a dynamical system to respond in the same way when perturbed by the same external signal. The study focused on certain dynamical systems connected through a non-regular network, exploring synchronization and consistency arising from varying coupling strengths within the network.

Summary: In nonlinear dynamical systems, the addition of appropriate noise enhances the signal response to a weak external input, known as stochastic resonance. Recent progress in the application of stochastic resonance has shown that the presence of additive noise improves memory storage functions in memory elements with low power consumption. Chaos-induced chaotic resonance, similar to stochastic resonance, appears in nonlinear dynamical systems accompanied by chaos-chaos intermittency. This study demonstrates that memory devices based on chaotic resonance can store information with lower power consumption and higher memory storage capability than those based on stochastic resonance.

Summary: A novel methodology is presented in this paper to manage arrival traffic in terminal airspace, utilizing a combination of 4D trajectory negotiation and dynamic arrival routes generation. This approach improves efficiency and allows for the assignment of required time of arrival within each aircraft's arrival time window, even in challenging and dense scenarios, through a mixed-integer programming approach and optimal control problem formulation and solving. The methodology has the potential to enable extended capabilities in arrival management and contribute to the development of a trajectory based operations environment.

Summary: In this paper, a framework for automatically managing clone-incurred vulnerabilities is proposed, including spatial clone-relation graph and temporal clone-relation graph. By analyzing eight versions of Ubuntu using this framework, it is found that clones are prevalent and the vulnerability surface caused by clones is relatively small.

Summary: Traffic accidents and near-crashes during lane-changing maneuvers are often caused by merging vehicles on freeway acceleration lanes. Understanding the driving behaviors in different merging scenarios can help develop merging decision assistance technologies. Statistical analysis revealed that the presence of leading vehicles on the mainline did not significantly affect the merge position of the merging vehicle. A merging decision model was developed using an adaptive boosting model, which showed an overall accuracy of 98.9%.

Summary: This paper aims to address the issue of determining criteria weights by examining the values that the weights must have for a given alternative to be ranked as the best. Using a Monte Carlo method, a large number of random weights are drawn from a space of all feasible weights. Predefined dominance relations are then used to compare and rank the alternatives based on the generated cases. Estimates for a sample size to ensure robustness are provided, and the concepts of central weights and alternatives' multi-dominance are introduced and applied to the selection of the best wind turbine in a real-world problem.

Summary: This study examines the causes of antibiotic resistance in the extensively resistant global clone 1 (GC1) Acinetobacter baumannii isolate MRSN 56. The study identified acquired resistance genes at different locations in the chromosome and discovered a new sublineage of GC1 lineage 1 with novel features. The involvement of the mar operon in fluoroquinolone resistance was also noted for the first time.
