Assessing Early Stage Design Sketches and Reflections on Prototyping by Das, Madhurima, Yang, Maria C

“…Results also indicate that early-stage sketch quantity, but not quality, is linked with design outcomes. This study also finds a link between the frequency of sketching and higher maximum sketch quality scores (i.e., at least one highly rated sketch) as well as a correlation between individuals’ maximum sketch quality scores and overall design outcomes. …”

Reconciling Bayesian and perimeter regularization for binary inversion by Dunbar, Oliver R. A., Dunlop, Matthew M., Elliott, Charles M., Hoang, Viet Ha, Stuart, Andrew M.

“…On the other hand, sparse or noisy data often demand a probabilistic approach to the reconstruction of images, to enable uncertainty quantification; the Bayesian approach to inversion, which itself introduces a form of regularization, is a natural framework in which to carry this out. In this paper the link between Bayesian inversion methods and perimeter regularization is explored. …”

A robust autonomous sliding-mode control of renewable DC microgrids for decentralized power sharing considering large-signal stability by Li, Xiangke, Wang, Minghao, Dong, Chaoyu, Jiang, Wentao, Xu, Zhao, Wu, Xiaohua, Jia, Hongjie

“…Firstly, by using the high-order finite-time observer (HOFTO) technique, the disturbances, such as the power coupling and parameter uncertainties between different DU-interfaced converters, are self-eliminated within a finite time without any output current sensor and communication link. Secondly, a decentralized control scheme synthesizing the robust SMC and droop control algorithm is proposed to achieve proportional power sharing among paralleled DUs and precise DC bus voltage regulation. …”
