Predicting Individual Well-Being in Teamwork Contexts Based on Speech Features by Zeulner, Tobias, Hagerer, Gerhard Johann, Müller, Moritz, Vazquez, Ignacio, Gloor, Peter A.

“…We focus on how speech behavior is perceived by team members to improve their well-being. Our main contribution is the assembly of an integrated toolchain to perform multi-modal extraction of robust speech features in noisy field settings and to explore which features are predictors of self-reported satisfaction scores. …”

The Expansion of Incentive (Performance-Based) Regulation of Electricity Distribution and Transmission in the United States by Joskow, Paul L.

“…Recent reforms in the regulation of distribution companies in Great Britain—“RIIO”—have been influential in the U.S. The main reforms contained in RIIO are discussed. There has been essentially no application of PBR by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to owners of transmission assets or to independent transmission operators. …”

Explicit Two-Sided Unique-Neighbor Expanders by Hsieh, Jun-Ting, McKenzie, Theo, Mohanty, Sidhanth, Paredes, Pedro

“…We study the problem of constructing explicit sparse graphs that exhibit strong vertex expansion. Our main result is the first two-sided construction of imbalanced unique-neighbor expanders, meaning bipartite graphs where small sets contained in both the left and right bipartitions exhibit unique-neighbor expansion, along with algebraic properties relevant to constructing quantum codes. …”

A sharp immersed method for 2D flow-body interactions using the vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations by Ji, Xinjie, Gabbard, James, van Rees, Wim M.

“…Here we introduce a sharp-interface approach based on the immersed interface method to handle the one- and two-way coupling between an incompressible flow and one or more rigid bodies using the 2D vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations. Our main contributions are three-fold. First, we develop and analyze a moving boundary treatment for sharp immersed methods that can be applied to PDEs with implicitly defined boundary conditions, such as those commonly imposed on the vorticity field. …”

Crude glycerol and glycerol as fuels and fuel additives in combustion applications by Zhang, Jianan, Wang, Yuesen, Muldoon, Valerie L, Deng, Sili

“…Overall, crude glycerol can achieve high-efficiency combustion with the improved design, but ash deposition is still the main challenge. Fortunately, integrating crude glycerol with solid fuels could mitigate ash issues and improve the combustion performance of low-rank solid fuels. …”
