Design of IIR filters by optimization techniques by Wang, Zhe.

“…Through simulation examples and comparisons between SCLS-SM and SM-based Direct Minimization Methods (Direct-SM), it was found that SCLS-SM has a higher possibility to obtain better results in our three examples’ case (High-Pass, Low-Pass and Band-Stop Filters), since SCLS-SM turning the non-convex optimization problem into a convex problem through combining Steiglitz-McBride (SM) Strategy. …”

Robust Reinforcement Learning Strategies with Evolving Curriculum for Efficient Bus Operations in Smart Cities by Tang, Yuhan, Qu, Ao, Jiang, Xuan, Mo, Baichuan, Cao, Shangqing, Rodriguez, Joseph, Koutsopoulos, Haris N, Wu, Cathy, Zhao, Jinhua

“…In this study, we introduce a novel setting where each bus, supervised by an RL agent, can appropriately form aggregated policies from three strategies (holding, skipping station, and turning around to serve the opposite direction). It&rsquo;s difficult to learn them all together, due to learning complexity, we employ domain knowledge and develop a gradually expanding action space curriculum, enabling agents to learn these strategies incrementally. …”

Molecular and biochemical characterisation of human casein kinase I alpha splice variants by Yong, Thomas Joon Kin.

“…The 4.2 kb mRNA species of both splice variants contain five additional RNA-destabilising AU-rich element (ARE)motifs in their 3' untranslated regions, the 2.4 kb transcripts contain a single ARE; suggesting the longer transcripts may be more rapidly turned over. Compared to human CKIas, human CKIaL contains an additional 28 amino acids after Lys-|52, and a deletion of 12 amino acids after GIV323. …”
