Map matching algorithms for intelligent transportation system by Hou, Xiangting

“…To decrease the estimation bias, a distribution-based weights estimation approach is proposed, where weights are estimated by inferring their distributions through Bayesian inference, considering the traces generated from the drivers in a city scale. Then, a sampling-based strategy is adopted to determine the values of the weights from their distributions. …”

Clustering-based solutions for energy efficiency, adaptability and resilience in IoT networks by Shivaraman, Nitin

“…Existing solutions achieve one or at most two of the requirements collectively, with no solution incorporating all three requirements. Given the large-scale deployment of IoT devices and their price-sensitive nature, it is imperative to design algorithmic solutions to meet the three requirements as this thesis proposes. …”

The effects of atmosphere-ocean-wave coupling during tropical cyclone by Garg, Nikhil

“…It is intuitive to think that, at the earth's surface, the fluid (both air and water) layer belongs to a single system, thus, justifying the construction of a single dynamically coupled model where atmosphere and ocean are interacting on different temporal and spatial scales. Within this coupled system, it can be thought that the ocean waves generated at the sea surface are due to the momentum transfer from atmosphere, which subsequently gets transferred to ocean. …”

Energy storage management for renewable energy systems by Feng, Xue

“…The unpredictability, inconsistency and unreliability of the renewable energy generation, with the absence of auxiliary mitigation measures, make them less attractive for large-scale implementations. The economic viability of the renewable energy integration is another concern. …”

Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Brauer, M, Roth, GA, Aravkin, AY, Bandyopadhyay, S, Bennett, DA, Browne, AJ, Graham, SM, Rodriguez, JAB, Runghien, T, Sartorius, B

“…From 2000 to 2021, there was an observable shift in global health challenges, marked by a decline in the number of all-age DALYs broadly attributable to behavioural risks (decrease of 20·7% [13·9–27·7]) and environmental and occupational risks (decrease of 22·0% [15·5–28·8]), coupled with a 49·4% (42·3–56·9) increase in DALYs attributable to metabolic risks, all reflecting ageing populations and changing lifestyles on a global scale. Age-standardised global DALY rates attributable to high BMI and high FPG rose considerably (15·7% [9·9–21·7] for high BMI and 7·9% [3·3–12·9] for high FPG) over this period, with exposure to these risks increasing annually at rates of 1·8% (1·6–1·9) for high BMI and 1·3% (1·1–1·5) for high FPG. …”

Modélisation des interactions en Italie du Nord au premier âge du Fer: de la circulation de parures aux réseaux d’influences culturelles by Cicolani, V, Huet, T, Zamboni, L

“…Starting from this point of view, the comparative study of clothing item types and styles has allowed us to explore more deeply their interactions, clarifying, by the same way, the impact of their dissemination in a medium scale: Northern Italy. Highlighting these dynamic, non-exclusive links based on creativity and adaptation, rather than on predefined geographical or cultural boundaries, illustrates how these boundaries are socially negotiated and dynamically recomposed over time, defying the traditional, unidirectional perception of a hierarchical structure of dependence between center and periphery. …”
