In this paper, we propose a dynamical power allocation (PA) procedure for elastic optical networks (EONs) based on the evolutionary hurricane here search optimization (HSO) algorithm with a chaotic logistic map diversification strategy with the purpose of improving the capability to escape from local optima, namely PA-CHSO.The aiming is the dynamic

Weather conditions can influence the hibernation behaviour of temperate cave-dwelling bats that are tolerant to low temperatures, and their number can be correlated with weather variables.In this work a first assessment on the correlation between the number of individuals of three species of hibernating bats (Barbastella barbastellus, Myotis emargi
