Analysis of bull and bear phases of the Singapore stock market by Wang, Tiantian, Yang, Na

“…This project studies the alternation of bull and bear markets of Singapore stock market. Using historical daily Straits Time Index (STI) from 25/1/2000 to 24/8/2009 and weekly STI from 28/12/1987 to 24/8/2009, this project investigates two approaches to simulate the bull and bear runs, which are compared with the actual bull and bear runs. …”

Passive acoustic tracking of an unmanned underwater vehicle using bearing-Doppler-speed measurements by Kita, Kristen Railey, Randeni, Supun, DiBiaso, Dino, Schmidt, Henrik

“…The propeller rotation rate can be estimated from the motor signature and converted to speed using a pre-identified model of the robot. The bearing-Doppler-speed measurements outperformed traditional bearing-Doppler target motion analysis: the bearing, bearing rate, range, and range rate accuracy improved by a factor of 2×, 16×, 3×, and 6×, respectively. …”
