The trembling-hand problem for LTLf planning by Yu, P, Zhu, S, De Giacomo, G, Vardi, M

“…In this case, the agent may mistakenly instruct, with a certain (typically small) probability, actions that are not intended due to faults or imprecision in its action selection mechanism, thereby leading to possible goal failure. …”

Impact of host gut microbiome on pathogen colonization by Low, Wai Leong

“…Unexpectedly, we also discovered that the bile salts which are normally present in the gut could promote P. aeruginosa gut colonization possibly by repressing swarming motility, enhancing surface adhesion and stimulating biofilm formation. …”

Disturbance detection in the MV and the LV distribution networks using time-domain method by Ukil, Abhisek

“…With the growing need for disturbance-free power distribution, there has been significant focus under the ‘Smart Grid’ initiative on fault and disturbance analysis. Compared to the high voltage (HV) transmission systems where high-end relays can be used, medium- and low-voltage (MV, LV) distribution systems employ low-end relays for cost reason. …”

Toughening of epoxies by covalently anchoring triazole-functionalized stacked-cup carbon nanofibers by Ding, Guoqiang, Huang, Shu, Dong, Yuliang, Lu, Xuehong, Liu, Wanshuang, Kong, Junhua, Toh, Eric Weilong, Zhou, Rui

“…Novel triazole-functionalized carbon nanofibers (m-CNFs) were prepared by one-step arylation with diazonium salts generated in situ. Microscopic observations indicate that m-CNFs exhibit significantly improved dispersibility in a high-performance epoxy resin compared with pristine CNFs (p-CNFs). …”

Distributed voltage unbalance compensation for an islanded microgrid system in a sensitive load bus by Han, Ziying

“…The distributed secondary compensation is able to perform the similar compensation ability as centralized secondary structure; meanwhile, there are also improvement for special conditions including communication fault and plug-and-play. Simulations are carried out in Matlab Simulink environment, and cases involving communication failure, CL shift, and DG plug-out are tested and analyzed to verify the practicability of proposed design.…”
