Real-Time LEO Satellite Orbits Based on Batch Least-Squares Orbit Determination with Short-Term Orbit Prediction by Kan Wang, Jiawei Liu, Hang Su, Ahmed El-Mowafy, Xuhai Yang

“…With the LEO satellite orbit prediction strategies improved over time, this latency can be bridged by short-term orbit prediction. In this study, using real-time GNSS satellite products, the real-time LEO satellite orbits are obtained based on the batch least-squares adjustment and short-term prediction. …”

Development of Precision, Field-Deployable, Opto-Mechanical Instrumentation: Accessibility as a Functional Requirement by Fernández Galiana, Álvaro

“…The majority of the devices and instruments that we interact with in our daily life have been made accessible to us by (re-)engineering a technology that was once only available to a few researchers in highly specialized laboratories. Bridging the gap between the state-of-the-art instrumentation of research laboratories, which is usually specific to a narrow application, and the broader needs of society is a critical task that can have a transformative effect in society. …”

Analytics-Enabled Quality and Safety Management Methods for High-Stakes Manufacturing Applications by Wilde, Joshua

“…With increased digitization and automation, there is growing potential for analytical tools combined with ubiquitous data to aid the transition from quality management practices based on expert intuition and qualitative insights to more data-driven decision making. To assist in bridging the gap between this potential and current implementation practices, this thesis develops new methods for analytics-enabled quality and safety management. …”

The dawn of the mad scientist : tracing the development of the mad scientist figure in science fiction by Christopher Raj Arulanbazhagu

“…In order to circumvent this problem of implausibility, many authors utilize the potential of scientific progress and discovery as a tool, lending credence to their many suppositions and successfully bridging the gap between possibility and reality. To borrow a quote from Samuel Coleridge in Biographia Literaria (1817), “a human interest and a semblance of truth [is] sufficient to procure for these shadows of imagination that willing suspension of disbelief for that moment” (174). …”
