Determining the throughput of a CONWIP system using adjusted ARM by Hu, He

“…By comparing the results from the original ARM and adjusted ARM with the simulation model, we conclude that the adjusted ARM performs better than the original ARM for our case. In addition, we also test the robustness of the adjusted ARM on two aspects, the violation of A1 assumption and the impacts brought by the limitation of buffer space before the bottleneck station.…”

Non-Abelian elastic collisions, associated difference systems of equations and discrete analytic functions by Kassotakis, Pavlos, Kouloukas, Theodoros E., Nieszporski, Maciej

“…Relativistic elastic collision equations turn out to be a particular case of these generic equations. Furthermore, we show that these equations can be reinterpreted as difference systems defined on the ℤ2 graph and this reinterpretation relates (unifies) the linear and the non-linear approach of discrete analytic functions.…”

Exploring phronesis in cyber security, management and resilience by Brett, Mark

“…It goes on to present a case study and ideas for further research. The fields of cyber security, information security and governance have a number of overlapping domains and spheres of interest. …”

Oral reading traditions and scriptural hermeneutics: the exegetical significance of the pausal systems in the Hebrew Bible and the Qurʾān by Moqbel, T

“…That is, it examines the impact of the Masoretic pausal accent signs and the pausal suggestions in the Quranic waqf and ibtidāʾ (pausing and beginning) literature on exegesis. Examining several case studies, the article points out parallels in the ways both reading traditions employ pauses in exegesis. …”

Star Chamber and the civil law by Williams, I

“…The relationship between the Star Chamber and the civil law has also been considered by Professor Ibbetson, discussing Edward Coke’s report <i>De Libellis Famosis</i>, and other scholarship has highlighted links with civilian material and ideas in the important decision in <i>Twyne’s Case</i>. This chapter goes beyond particular decisions and reports, taking a broader view by examining the practice of the court, as well as discussions both in and about it. …”

Knowledge and skills required to set up and operate clean energy communities by Golob, U, Kamin, T, Barnes, JPJ

“…&lt;jats:p&gt; An appropriate set of skills and knowledge is required to establish and operate clean energy communities (ECs). In most cases, building an EC is a team effort and it is very important not to neglect or undervalue the skills of the people involved. …”

Tabula rasa: model transfer for object category detection by Aytar, Y, Zisserman, A

“…Experiments (on PASCAL VOC) demonstrate significant performance gains by transfer learning from one class to another (e.g. motorbike to bicycle), including one-shot learning, specialization from class to a subordinate class (e.g. from quadruped to horse) and transfer using multiple components. In the case of multiple training samples it is shown that a detection performance approaching that of the state of the art can be achieved with substantially fewer training samples.…”

Automatic line matching across views by Schmid, C, Zisserman, A

“…Algorithms are developed for both short and long range motion. In the case of long range motion the algorithm involves evaluating a one parameter family of plane induced homographies. …”

Is your ontology as hard as you think? Rewriting ontologies into simpler DLs by Carral, D, Feier, C, Romero, AA, Grau, BC, Hitzler, P, Horrocks, I

“…We investigate cases where an ontology expressed in a seemingly hard DL can be polynomially reduced to one in a simpler logic, while preserving reasoning outcomes for classification and fact entailment. …”

A model of information security and competition by de Cornière, A, Taylor, G

“…We show that the competitive implications of security depend on firms’ business models: when firms compete in prices, security intensifies competition, which implies that it is always underprovided in equilibrium (unlike in the monopoly case). When firms are advertising-funded platforms, security plays a business-stealing role, and may be overprovided. …”

Rotation Inside Convex Kakeya Sets by Janzer, B

“…We also show that in three dimensions the answer is negative, even for the case when S is a line segment – but that in any dimension the first question has a positive answer when S is a line segment. …”

Minimal projective reconstruction for combinations of points and lines in three views by Oskarsson, M, Zisserman, A, Åström, K

“…We show that in general there are three and seven solutions, respectively, to these cases. The reconstruction methods are tested on real and simulated data. …”

Towards an ethics of conceptual engineering by Crisp, R

“…Ethics is construed as primarily concerned with reasons for action, not belief, and it is argued that most such reasons are to be understood in terms of their connection with well-being. In the case of conceptual engineering, this is the well-being of the engineer and of others. …”

Trajectories of young people at risk of exclusion across the UK by Porter, J, Bridgeman, J, Robinson, G, Tawell, A, Taylor, A

“…This is realised through examining 75 trajectory case studies of young people at risk of exclusion from secondary schools across the four jurisdictions of the UK. …”

Wafer-scale growth of vertical-structured SnSe₂ nanosheets for highly sensitive, fast-response UV–Vis–NIR broadband photodetectors by Chen, Zhiyong, Xiong, Lei, Li, Guangyuan, Wei, Lei, Yang, Chunlei, Chen, Ming

“…Herein are reported high-performance nonplanar UV–Vis–NIR broadband PD arrays, based on wafer-scale, vertical-structured SnSe2 nanosheet arrays (NSAs) via low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy method. The vertical-structured SnSe2 NSAs possess light absorption efficiency of >90% covering the wave range from 340 to 650 nm. …”

Programmable interfacial band configuration in WS2/Bi2O2Se heterojunctions by Zhang, Hanwen, Fu, Jianhui, Carvalho, Alexandra, Poh, Eng Tuan, Chung, Jing-Yang, Feng, Minjun, Chen, Yinzhu, Wang, Bo, Shang, Qiuyu, Yang, Hengxing, Zhang, Zheng, Lim, Sharon Xiaodai, Gao, Weibo, Gradečak, Silvija, Qiu, Cheng-Wei, Lu, Junpeng, He, Chunnian, Sum, Tze Chien, Sow, Chorng Haur

“…Using this material combination, we further design a sophisticated band architecture incorporating both type-I (WS2 straddles Bi2O2Se, fluorescence-quenched) and type-I (Bi2SeO5 straddles WS2, fluorescence-recovered) alignments in one sample through focused laser beam (FLB). By programming the FLB trajectory, we achieve a predesigned localized fluorescence micropattern on WS2 without changing its intrinsic atomic structure. …”
