GenKP: generative knowledge prompts for enhancing large language models
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated extensive capabilities across various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Knowledge graphs (KGs) harbor vast amounts of facts, furnishing external knowledge for language models. The structured knowledge extracted from KGs must undergo conversion into sentences to align with the input format required by LLMs. Previous research has commonly utilized methods such as triple conversion and template-based conversion. However, sentences converted using existing methods frequently encounter issues such as semantic incoherence, ambiguity, and unnaturalness, which distort the original intent, and deviate the sentences from the facts. Meanwhile, despite the improvement that knowledge-enhanced pre-training and prompt-tuning methods have achieved in small-scale models, they are difficult to implement for LLMs in the absence of computational resources. The advanced comprehension of LLMs facilitates in-context learning (ICL), thereby enhancing their performance without the need for additional training. In this paper, we propose a knowledge prompts generation method, GenKP, which injects knowledge into LLMs by ICL. Compared to inserting triple-conversion or templated-conversion knowledge without selection, GenKP entails generating knowledge samples using LLMs in conjunction with KGs and makes a trade-off of knowledge samples through weighted verification and BM25 ranking, reducing knowledge noise. Experimental results illustrate that incorporating knowledge prompts enhances the performance of LLMs. Furthermore, LLMs augmented with GenKP exhibit superior improvements compared to the methods utilizing triple and template-based knowledge injection.

Carl the collector. Season 1, episode 5, The tool collection/The stick collection
Meet Carl, a warm-hearted young raccoon with autism, who loves to collect things! Carl and his friends live in Fuzzytown, where they play and explore together, discovering what makes each of them unique and learning there is no right or wrong way to be themselves. For kids 4 to 7, CARL THE COLLECTOR features neurotypical and neurodiverse characters and explores self-identity and community. Episode 5: Carl stretches the limits of honesty when he gets a universal screwdriver for his birthday. Then, when a storm creates a hole in his walkway, Carl wants it fixed, until he discovers his friends have turned it into something magical.

Hybrid processes for a new era of strategic foresight
Purpose
This paper aims to propose a new strategic foresight process that combines aspects from science fiction, speculative design and tools linked to organizational processes, first, to generate potential new services and products and, second, to reduce problems associated with the construction of low-impact and irrelevant scenarios for decision-making processes. As a new proposal, it invites reflection and debate.
Design/methodology/approach
After reviewing the literature on the key concepts that represent the essence of strategic foresight, as well as the traditional processes to reflect on the future, a proposal for a new hybrid, integrative foresight process that allows moving from imagination to the materialization of scenarios will be presented.
Findings
The new hybrid process makes evident the need to articulate strategic foresight with other areas of knowledge and management tools to build scenarios with greater impact on decision-making and greater added value from strategic foresight to organizational processes.
Originality/value
The proposed integrative model articulates tools that already exist, but the originality of the proposal lies in that there are no models that integrate science fiction, speculative design, and other organizational tools in a single process.

Gathering knowledge and interpreting sources to write historical fiction
The responses were varied, with some codebreakers more than happy to move on to married life and raise a family, while others used their skills to work in non-traditional roles such as a chief editor of a newspaper in the 1950s. Not only did they learn new skills and adapt to working in non-traditional roles in a male-dominated environment, they had other challenges to deal with such as homesickness, the grief of losing loved ones and the heavy responsibility of working with some of the country's biggest secrets. Speaking to people directly involved in the event one is writing about is a researcher's dream, but that isn't always possible. Since many of the members of Central Bureau have passed away, I turned to their family members to learn about what it was like to discover that their parent or grandparent had worked as a codebreaker during World War II. Experts I've worked with on The Codebreakers include: * the ex-head of the Australian Signals Directorate, who is a brilliant historian on all-things Central Bureau * historians at the Royal Flying Doctor Service and Qantas Founders Museum * the signals professors at the University of New South Wales, who helped me understand Japanese Morse code and how signals worked during World War II * the MacArthur Centre in Brisbane, where the curator showed me handwritten letters from General MacArthur that have never been available to the public.

Development of a Novel Friction Model for Machining Simulations in Unidirectional Composite Materials
Constant coefficients of friction (COFs) are currently used in the literature to describe the contact mechanics between tool and workpiece for finite element (FE) machining simulation of carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs). However, these are solely based on closed-loop tribology experimentation, which insufficiently represent machining conditions. To overcome this gap in the knowledge, this work proposes a novel experimental open-loop tribological testing method to produce a dynamic FE friction model for CFRP machining simulations. The newly proposed dynamic friction model is based on a function of fibre angle, contact pressure and slip rate, and it has been validated to both experimental results and constant COF FE simulations. The main aim of this article is to create a link between machining, tribology and FE simulation, by implementing cutting-edge tribological testing that results in highly accurate FE simulations. This dynamic model has been shown to improve the accuracy of open-loop tribological simulations, giving confidence in future implantation in CFRP machining simulations.
