Summary: This paper proposes a new approach for modeling the PHY layer of V2X communications, which can be extended to various configurations. By approximating curves with a given SINR threshold and deriving an implementation loss parameter, the network performance under any configuration in the same scenario can be evaluated.

Summary: In this study, a Primitive-based Sketch Abstraction task is proposed to represent sketches using a fixed set of drawing primitives under a communication budget. The Primitive-Matching Network (PMN) is introduced to learn interpretable abstractions of a sketch in a self-supervised manner, achieving the highest performance on sketch recognition and sketch-based image retrieval given a communication budget, while also being highly interpretable.

Summary: This paper contributes to the discussion on mathematical structuralism by addressing the neglected question of when a structure is part of another structure. By defining structures through abstractionism, the paper provides an answer to this question and explores its interesting consequences. However, the proposed answer conflicts with some fundamental principles in mereology. The tension between abstractionism and classical mereology in the context of abstract structures suggests further exploration in this subject, which is also connected to recent work on non-well-founded mereologies.

Summary: This article investigates the scheduling of communication traffic in networks of event-triggered control systems. By abstracting perturbed uncertain nonlinear ETC systems with general triggering functions, the authors propose algorithms based on reachability analysis to determine intervals and transitions for the system's abstraction. They also propose an approach based on isochronous manifolds for partitioning, which results in tighter intervals and provides control over them, reducing the abstraction's nondeterminism. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Summary: This article proposes an abstraction layer architecture to enable high-level analytics of distributed ledger systems and decentralized applications. It aims to improve the auditability and intuitiveness of these systems by developing future user interfaces. A regulated sector use case is explored to illustrate the benefits of the proposed architecture.

Summary: The recently-developed high-level full-dimensional spin-orbit-corrected potential energy surfaces for the reactions of HX with C2H5 are improved by adding new geometries with higher energies. Quasi-classical trajectory simulations show that as collision energy increases, the probability of the H-abstraction reaction pathway decreases while the reactivity of the X-abstraction reaction pathway increases. Excitation in HX vibrational mode helps both reaction pathways, but more for X-abstraction.

Summary: In statistical inference, researchers have proposed modifications and extensions using concepts of fuzzy statistics to deal with real-life problems that may involve imprecise or incomplete data. Many papers have explored hypothesis testing in fuzzy environments, focusing on fuzzy hypotheses and data. This paper provides a systematic review on fuzzy hypothesis testing to support new researchers and suggest future research directions.

Summary: The advancement of IoT has greatly impacted various aspects of human life, including the Internet of Medical Things, Internet of Flying Things, Internet of Floating Things, and Internet of Autonomous Things. Protocol verification is crucial for ensuring correctness in IoT systems, but abstracting the system under test poses a challenge. This paper proposes novel methods for abstracting communication patterns in IoT protocols, utilizing pi-calculus and PROMELA for modeling and Spin model checker for verification.

Summary: The study found that 40% to 50% of authors in each subject domain consider the inclusion of target journals in certain databases as very important. Authors in social sciences and technology pay more attention to Web of Science and Scopus, while those in medicine consider PubMed and MEDLINE to be the most important databases.

Summary: Biological taxonomy heavily relies on a vast amount of literature from the past three centuries, which is crucial for resolving disputes and providing information about species. Unlike other disciplines, the taxonomy community lacks a centralized and curated literature database, and this article suggests that Wikidata can serve as that database due to its flexible models and active community.

Summary: The paper presents a solution to the problem of non-rigid structures in non-eliminative mathematical structuralism by expanding the languages used to describe mathematical structures. The solution is deemed philosophically acceptable to those who endorse mathematical structuralism based on Fregean abstraction principles.

Summary: According to panpsychists, physical phenomena are fundamentally experiential phenomena. They argue that physical phenomena need to have features beyond what can be explained by physics, and propose the identification of physical and experiential phenomena as the best explanation for the ubiquity of consciousness. However, these arguments rely on assumptions that panpsychists are not entitled to make.
