What information really matters in supervisor reduction? by Su, Rong, Wonham, Walter Murray

“…One strategy is to reduce the size of a supervisor to generate a control equivalent version, whose size is optimistically much smaller than the original one so that a user or control designer can easily check whether a designed controller fulfils its objectives and requirements. …”

A 4D imaging radar SLAM system for large-scale environments based on pose graph optimization by Zhuge, Huayang

“…This work proposes a full system for 4D Radar SLAM consisting of three modules: 1) Front-end module performs scan-to-scan matching to calculate the odometry based on GICP, considering the probability distribution of each point; 2) Loop detection utilizes multiple rule-based loop pre-filtering steps, followed by an intensity scan context step to identify loop candidates, and odometry check to reject false loop; 3) Back-end builds a pose graph using front-end odometry, loop closure, and optional GPS data. …”

Boundary element methods for axisymmetric heat conduction and thermoelastic deformations in nonhomogeneous solids by Yun, Bao Ing

“…Unlike the real boundary element approach for axisymmetric problems, the complex variable approach does not require the evaluation of complicated fundamental solutions involving elliptic integrals. To check the validity of all the boundary element procedures, they are applied to solve specific problems with known analytical solutions. …”

Encoding and decoding of serially concatenated codes for data storage systems by Yin, Ke.

“…The outer code of the SCC can be a high-rate convolutional code, or a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code; while the inner code normally takes the form of the accumulate code or a high-rate recursive convolutional code (RSC). …”

Unveiling the future of budget hotels in Singapore by Chua, Hwee Lian, Kew, Wong Yip, Soh, Wee Li

“…These include using Porter's five forces model to define the external environment in which budget hotels operate and a SWOT analysis to function as an internal check. The findings of this study point towards a shortage of budget hotels that is likely to persist till 1995. …”

论李世民音乐政治观对儒家礼乐思想的继承和转化 = A study on Li Shimin music-politics: inheritance and transformation of Confucian ritual and music thought by 许惠佳 Koh, Hwee Kay

“…To a certain extent, he had inherited Yueji, Confucian ritual and Music thought - which extensively covers the social influence and educational function of music to society – while at the same time, his Music-politics thought bears much resemblance to those of Ji Kang. This article hopes to explore in detail Li Shimin’s Music-politics thought, and by using Yueji as a comparison, analyses how his inheritance and transformation of Confucian Ritual and Music thought played an important role in shaping the Tang Culture.…”

Atherogenesis and plaque rupture, surface/interface-related phenomena by Siegel, G., Berkholz, J., Klüßendorf, D., Knosalla, C., Zakrzewicz, A., Ermilov, E., Malmsten, M., Lindman, Bjorn

“…Since NFκB is inhibited by one reaction strand in this model and inhibits itself collagen and proteoglycan synthesis in the fibrous cap of the plaque, this double check (disinhibition) causes a stabilization of the fibrous cap through a specially strong collagen and proteoglycan production, which in addition is supported by circulating TGFβ. …”

Development of innovative nano-satellites with new generation technologies by Menezes, Ajit Denis

“…The models are tested based on performance parameters provided by an established launch agency and analysed under a microscope to check for any cracks or major degradation. The ULTEM is also tested for outgassing properties to ensure it is acceptable for Space applications. …”

Design of phase locked loop with PVT tolerance by Chong, Kok Foong

“…VCO dummies are normally added to the VCO in order to provide a uniform loading for each VCO delay stage. To check the impacts of different VCO dummy implementation on PLL jitter, five experimental charge pump PLLs are simulated with difference only in the dummy stages: (i) no dummy, (ii) simple dummy, (iii) single stage differential dummy, (iv) double stage differential dummy and (v) full differential dummy with the D2S converters. …”
