This work addressed a search and validation of transformations between the FuzzyComputing and the Evolutionary Computing domains, which are useful for hybrid systems development in which both methodologies skills can be used in a more intrinsic way, transforming fuzzy elements into evolutionary elements and vice-versa. To validate such transformations, an entire fuzzy knowledge base of a mobile robot controller was designed and further tuned through a genetic algorithm, and the results were presented. With the developed approach, it also became possible to add new behaviors to an existent controller, which can be useful when new situations need to be handled.
When We're Coming From" is a conversation across time and place among a group of writers and artists who are members of the What Would an HIV Doula Do? Collective. Seven of us have come together to have an asynchronous conversation about how our decades-long work to respond to the HIV/AIDS pandemic shapes our experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we share six individual assessments of pandemic time to suggest ways that pandemics(s) shape our sense of time(s). What follows are our meditations on how and when we see ourselves, and the transitions of HIV/AIDS and COVID-19: "AIDS out of time, " bent time, "time-is-money, " palimpsests, syndemic time, and the long haul.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
