Query lower bounds for log-concave sampling by Chewi, Sinho, de Dios Pont, Jaume, Li, Jerry, Lu, Chen, Narayanan, Shyam

“…In this work, we establish the following query lower bounds: (1) sampling from strongly log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension ≥ 2 requires Ω(log) queries, which is sharp in any constant dimension, and (2) sampling from Gaussians in dimension (hence also from general log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension) requires Ωe(min( √ log,)) queries, which is nearly sharp for the class of Gaussians. Here denotes the condition number of the target distribution. …”

Visible light based occupancy inference using ensemble learning by Hao, Jie, Yuan, Xiaoming, Yang, Yanbing, Wang, Ran, Zhuang, Yi, Luo, Jun

“…As a key component of building management and security, occupancy inference through smart sensing has attracted a lot of research attention for nearly two decades. Recently, a cutting edge technique visible light sensing (VLS) that utilizes the LED luminaires as light sensors has shown its promising application potentials in occupancy inference as it piggybacks on pervasive lighting infrastructure without extra equipment deployment. …”

The role of the reticulocyte-binding-like protein homologues of Plasmodium in erythrocyte sensing and invasion by Gunalan, Karthigayan, Gao, Xiaohong, Yap, Sally Shu Lin, Huang, Ximei, Preiser, Peter Rainer

“…Malaria remains a serious public health problem with significant morbidity and mortality accounting for nearly 20% of all childhood deaths in Africa. The cyclical invasion, cytoadherence and destruction of the host's erythrocyte by the parasite are responsible for the observed disease pathology. …”

Intelligent database design for microgrids in low voltage distribution systems-I GUI and database design by Ng, Pei Fen

“…Climatic change can lead to consequences such as increasing cases of heat-related illness, endangering wildlife like polar bears and rising of sea level that would trigger natural disasters leading to individual losing their homes. [51] Due to extensively use of electricity in this contemporary society, there arises a need to seek for alternative energy sources, if at all possible renewable resources such as wind and solar. …”

New use of global warming potentials to compare cumulative and short-lived climate pollutants by Allen, MR, Fuglestvedt, JS, Shine, KP, Reisinger, A, Pierrehumbert, R, Forster, PM

“…If the overall goal of climate policy is to limit peak warming, GWP100 therefore overstates the importance of current SLCP emissions unless stringent and immediate reductions of all climate pollutants result in temperatures nearing their peak soon after mid-century7, 8, 9, 10, which may be necessary to limit warming to “well below 2 °C” (ref. 1). …”

Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 96

“…Oil has defined the modern-day development of the Gulf region in a way seen in no other place in the world; together, the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), are home to around a third of known global reserves of oil, and nearly a quarter of its natural gas. Saudi Arabia remains the world’s most important producer of conventional oil, and continues to hold the majority of the world’s spare capacity, while Qatar has become the world’s largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG). …”
