Performance Guarantees for Spectral Initialization in Rotation Averaging and Pose-Graph SLAM by Doherty, Kevin J., Rosen, David M., Leonard, John J.

“…SLAM and rotation averaging are typically formalized as large-scale nonconvex point estimation problems, with many bad local minima that can entrap the smooth optimization methods typically applied to solve them; the performance of standard SLAM and RA algorithms thus crucially depends upon the quality of the estimates used to initialize this local search. …”

Layered construction of integrated sulfur-bridged CoNi-S/rGO architecture for enhanced electrochemical energy storage by Aboelazm, Eslam Atef Abdelaziz, Khe, Chengseong, Grätz, Sven, Chong, Kwok Feng, Mohamed Shuaib, Mohamed Saheed, Hegazy, Mohamed Barakat Zakaria

“…Remarkable results were realised by forming a layered structure of CoNi-S/rGO in which rGO sheets wrap CoNi-S flakes. Interestingly, the CoNi-S/rGO composite exhibited a specific capacitance of 3308F g−1 (1654C g−1) at 1 A g−1, outperforming the performance of a single CoNi-S component, which recorded 2155F g−1 (1077.5C g−1) at identical conditions. …”

Hodge theory and its applications to molecular data analysis by Koh, Ronald Joon Wei

“…There are many levels of organizations of the genome, its most basic unit, the nucleosome, which consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. Some of the higher levels of organization include tetranucleosomes, which consists of several nucleosomes, and topological associating domains (TADs), which are regions in the genome that self-interact more frequently with themselves compared to outside the TAD. …”
