Construction of human digital twin model based on multimodal data and its application in locomotion mode identification by Zhong, Ruirui, Hu, Bingtao, Feng, Yixiong, Zheng, Hao, Hong, Zhaoxi, Lou, Shanhe, Tan, Jianrong

“…Data acquisition system is built to dynamically acquire and update the body state data and physiological data of the human body and realize the digital expression of multi-source heterogeneous human body information. A bidirectional long short-term memory and convolutional neural network (BiLSTM-CNN) based network is devised to fuse multimodal human data and extract the spatiotemporal features, and the human locomotion mode identification is taken as an application case. …”

Low complexity and low power FIR filter design by Ye, Wenbin

“…First, the computational complexity to achieve the minimum number of adders is too high to be used in the design of long filters, and second, the number of adder criterion is too coarse and inaccurate for the minimization of power consumption. …”

Rupture kinematics of the 2005 Mw 8.6 Nias-Simeulue earthquake from the joint inversion of seismic and geodetic data by Konca, A. Ozgun, Hjorleifsdottir, Vala, Song, Alex Teh-Ru, Avouac, Jean-Philippe, Ji, Chen, Sieh, Kerry, Helmberger, Don V., Briggs, Richard W., Meltzner, Aron J.

“…Source models obtained from the inversion of various combinations of the teleseismic body waves and geodetic data are evaluated by comparing predicted and observed long-period seismic waveforms (100–500 sec). Our results indicate a relatively slow average rupture velocity of 1.5 to 2.5 km/sec and long average rise time of up to 20 sec. …”

A note on the Tibetan kinship terms khu and zhang by Nagano, Sadako

“…Tibetan kinship terminology is an important topic, not just for learning about the language and culture of Tibet, but also for learning about the languages and cultures of other Sino-Tibetan peoples. This subject has long been discussed from the standpoints of culural anthropology, history and linguistics. …”

Subband adaptive algorithms for high-order transversal filters by Lee, Kong Aik

“…One application of interest is acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), which involves colored excitation and the modeling of long impulse response. Acoustic echo canceller finds application in hands-free telephone systems, audio or video conference systems, hearing aids, voice-control systems, and many more.…”

Regression assisted evolutionary optimization by Ayyappan, Murugan

“…As some industrial applications involve complex calculations to evaluate a single solution, optimization takes an intractably long time to complete. The aim of this project is to reduce the number of these evaluations during an optimization run, which would in turn reduce the computational time of the evolutionary optimization. …”

Development of fiber optic strain sensor system for smart structure applications by Ong, Lin Seng, Seah, Leong Keey, Chai, Gin Boay

“…However, as a result of external perturbation or disturbances, the light that passes through the optical fiber changes one or more of its characteristics or properties such as intensity, phase, state of polarization, wavelength or reflective index. As long as we are able to detect these changes and relate them to the changes of external perturbations we can transform the optical fiber into a sensor to detect those perturbations. …”
