Control and operation of DC microgrids by Adhikari, Sujan

“…The bipolar configuration of converters in a DC microgrid can be formed by utilizing a converter to boost the input voltage and adopting a three-wire system by the means of voltage balancing circuit. Although many control schemes have been proposed for bipolar-type DC microgrids, they mainly focus on coupled microgrids with a centralized voltage balancer. …”

Robust and efficient deep learning methods for vision-based action recognition by Xu, Yuecong

“…While the more recent non-local block inspired by the non-local means could extract long-range dependencies without affecting the networks' optimization, it significantly increases the parameter size and computational cost of the inserted networks. …”

Graph representation learning by Zhang, Xinyi

“…Generating a high-quality graph representation should preserve much information such as node position, subgraph direction and node connection, however, encoding this information in the form of scalar means activating elements in a vector one-by-one which is exponentially less efficient than encoding them with distributed representations, so routing mechanism is applied to generate graph-level representations in the form of capsules which can encode graph information more efficiently. …”

PostIndependentzia by Calzada, I

“…Firstly, international territorial issues should be addressed by systemically merging them with internal territorial issues; and secondly, TransLoKal entrepreneurs - meaning enterprising indivuals, social activits and progressive small organizations - should be given a leading role, without, that is, having to depend on the blind and burdensome dominance of traditional institutions and their management structures. …”
