Reciprocating Movement

In the process of technological progress and development, many industries are moving towards artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which is a construction and combination of multi-thinking technology. But in terms of structure, material development and diversification, the source of ideas is still inseparable from the natural world. Therefore, when faced with solving problems, many scientists not only conduct in-depth research on changes in cells, tissues and expansion, to solve the multi-dimensional movement of current technology, but also non-destructively explore the thermal effects of friction. Self-generated lubrication or external additives are used to solve the demand, so that the reciprocating movement of the piston can be more effective, and each cycle can be achieved. According to research and discussion, in each cycle, heat engine and cooling, speed movement frequency and lubrication method are different, which not only makes the piston have different effects, but also the reaction and sensitivity will greatly change, which makes it necessary to stop resting. Therefore, this research is primarily aimed at exploring the reciprocating motion of the human-machine “Indirect piston” and the efficiency of internal friction. The purpose is to have a more in-depth study of the piston theory, so as to have a deeper foundation for the movement of derived multi-dimensional angles in the future. In the future, there will be better development in injection, piston mechanism, and lubrication.

Research on the strategic organization of time often assumes that collective efforts are motivated by and oriented toward achieving desirable, although not necessarily well-defined, future states. In situations surrounded by uncertainty where work has to proceed urgently to avoid an impending disaster, however, temporal work is guided by engaging with both desirable and undesirable future outcomes. Drawing on a real-time, in-depth study of the inception of the Restoration and Renewal program of the Palace of Westminster, we investigate how organizational actors develop a strategy for an uncertain and highly contested future while safeguarding ongoing operations in the present and preserving the heritage of the past. Anticipation of undesirable future events played a crucial role in mobilizing collective efforts to move forward. We develop a model of future desirability in temporal work to identify how actors construct, link, and navigate interpretations of desirable and undesirable futures in their attempts to create a viable path of action. By conceptualizing temporal work based on the phenomenological quality of the future, we advance understanding of the strategic organization of time in pluralistic contexts characterized by uncertainty and urgency.

The Internet Of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to revolutionise the way we live and communicate, and the manner in which we engage with our social and natural world. In the IoT, objects such as household items, vending machines and cars have the ability to sense and share data with other things, via wireless, Bluetooth, or Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology. "Smart things" have the capability to control their performance, as well as our experiences and decisions. In this exploratory paper, we overview recent developments in the IoT technology, and their relevance for criminology. Our aim is to partially fill the gap in the literature, by flagging emerging issues criminologists and social scientists ought to engage with in the future. The focus is exclusively on the IoT while other advances, such as facial recognition technology, are only lightly touched upon. This paper, thus, serves as a starting point in the conversation, as we invite scholars to join us in forecasting-if not preventing-the unwanted consequences of the "future Internet".

Cloud Service Platform

This paper is aimed at helping organizations to understand what they can expect from a serverless architecture in the future and how they can make sound decisions about the choice between microservice and serverless architectures in the present. A serverless architecture is a new approach to offering services in the cloud. It was invented as a solution to the problem that many organizations are facing today – about 85% of their servers have underutilized capacity, which is proved to be costly and wasteful. By employing the serverless architecture, the organizations get a way to eliminate idle, underutilized servers and thus, to reduce their operational costs. Many cloud providers are now jumping to the serverless world because they know it is going to be the future of software architectures. However, being a new approach, the serverless architecture is still relatively immature – it is in the early stages of its support by cloud service platform providers. This paper provides an in-depth study about the serverless architecture and how to apply FaaS in the real world.

Cinnamomum is a genus of the family Lauraceae, which has been recognized worldwide as an important genus due to its beneficial uses. A great deal of research on its phytochemistry and pharmacological effects has been conducted. It is noteworthy that terpenoids are the characteristic of Cinnamomum due to the peculiar structures and significant biological effects. For a more in-depth study and the better use of Cinnamomum plants in the future, the chemical structures and biological effects of terpenoids obtained from Cinnamomum were summarized in the present study. To date, a total of 181 terpenoids with various skeletons have been isolated from Cinnamomum. These compounds have been demonstrated to play an important role in immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. However, studies on the bioactive components from Cinnamomum plants have only focused on a dozen species. Hence, further studies on the potential pharmacological effects need to be conducted in the future.

This paper is the first ever in-depth study of the econometric practice of quantitative economists outside academia. It goes further, to examine empirically the often-heard proposition that academic and nonacademic economists nowadays seem to analyse the same applied quantitative problems in markedly separate ways. Nine indicators of separation between the approaches of ‘town’ and ‘gown’ economists are developed. The study rests on detailed interviews with 50 nonacademic economists drawn widely from a single area of professional activity: the Australian housing sector. These economists' use of econometric methods, and their views on the value of these methods, are documented and compared with the academic approach to applied econometric work, as reported in the scholarly literature. The evidence on the nine indicators supports the existence of a state of separation. The paper points to some undesirable consequences of separation and concludes with practical ideas on what should be done about it. There are lessons in the findings of this study for the future of other quantitative disciplines that are widely practised in government, business and industry.

Decision Tasks

Decisions in the natural world are rarely made in isolation. Each action that an organism selects will affect the future situations in which it finds itself, and those situations will in turn affect the future actions that are available. Achieving real-world goals often requires successfully navigating a sequence of many actions. An efficient and flexible way to achieve such goals is to construct an internal model of the environment, and use it to plan behavior multiple steps into the future. This process is known as multi-step planning, and its neural mechanisms are only beginning to be understood. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of these mechanisms, many of which take advantage of multi-step decision tasks for humans and animals.

AbstractMaterial development based on fungal mycelium is a fast-rising field of study as researchers, industry, and society actively search for new sustainable materials to address contemporary material challenges. The compelling potential of fungal mycelium materials is currently being explored in relation to various applications, including construction, packaging, “meatless” meat, and leather-like textiles. Here, we highlight the discussions and outcomes from a recent 1-day conference on the topic of fungal mycelium materials (“Fungal Mycelium Materials Mini Meeting”), where a group of researchers from diverse academic disciplines met to discuss the current state of the art, their visions for the future of the material, and thoughts on the challenges surrounding widescale implementation.

The Mind

Causal determinism is not widely accepted. My worldview is the only correct worldview; it’s a type of causal determinism; it’s fatalistic. The physical events corresponding to the mind act as pseudo mind. If my mind exists, mentality seems to be fundamental and ubiquitous in the natural world. Mind might not exist. Physical law rules the physical world; mind has no influence on the physical world; so, every physical event is inevitable. Some misunderstandings in your mind make you feel like that you have free will. We have no free will, but we assume that we have free will, so we unintentionally pretend to have free will. Brain has a tendency to survival, despite of the logic it has, so it tends to ignore determinism. Our informal logic has problems which cause a paradox about causal determinism; the future is deterministic does not mean that you are free to do anything now.
