Cooperative collision avoidance in multirobot systems using fuzzy rules and velocity obstacles by Tang, Wenbing, Zhou, Yuan, Zhang, Tianwei, Liu, Yang, Liu, Jing, Ding, Zuohua

“…Moreover, they cannot deal with uncertain sensing data and linguistic requirements (e.g., the speed of a robot should not be large when it is near to other robots). Hence, to guarantee real-time collision avoidance and deal with linguistic requirements, a distributed and hybrid motion planning method, named Fuzzy-VO, is proposed for multirobot systems. …”

Evaluating geospatial accuracy for equity analyses: a case study of the U.S. National Bridge Inventory by Gandy, CA, Kang, X, Ritsch, N, Armanios, DE

“…Phase 3 assesses the feasibility of enhancing location granularity through a hand-checked case study. We find that for coarser geospatial levels (state and county), equity-based analyses may be possible, but for more granular geospatial levels (place and census tract), which is where equity-based analyses are often conducted, the data may need greater buffering and hand checks to ensure accuracy. …”

Predicting bank failures : a comparison of the Cox proportional hazards model and time-varying covariates model. by Cheng, Philip Yim Kwong.

“…As a contribution to bank regulation by improving the accuracy of predicting failed banks, I first illustrate the use of martingale and other residuals as diagnostic checks for Cox’s proportional hazards model. Second, I discuss and substantiate the claim that a time-varying covariates model is superior to the Cox model as a bank failure model.…”

Linear A libation tables : a semitic connection explored by Eu Min, Niki Cassandra, Perono Cacciafoco, Francesco, Cavallaro, Francesco Paolo

“…Attempts to decipher the writing system have been unsuccessful for several reasons. Unlike the Linear B language (Mycenaean Greek), Minoan, the language hidden behind Linear A and still undeciphered, bears no apparent similarity to Greek, and any ‘translation’ of Linear A based provisionally on Linear B phonetic values has not produced any tangible result. …”
