Performance analysis for continuous antennas in Rician channels by Smith, PJ, Khordad, E, Senanayake, R, Coon, JP

“…Improved spectral efficiency resulting from more antenna elements has motivated the idea of packing very large numbers of elements in an array, yielding continuous like antennas. This paper conducts a performance analysis of continuous antennas, employing matched filtering. …”

Violence risk assessment using the Oxford Mental Illness and Violence Tool by Fazel, S, Scola, G

“…</li> <li>Traditional risk assessment tools are being replaced by novel tools like OxMIV, which provide probability scores for better clinical assessments.…”

Wrapped branes and punctured horizons by Bobev, N, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF

“…We show that some singular solutions of the Liouville equation have a physical interpretation as explicit point-like brane sources on the Riemann surface. We uncover the details of this picture by focusing on $\mathcal{N}$ = 1 theories of class $\mathcal{S}$ arising from M5-branes on a punctured Riemann surface. …”

Linguistic distance and market integration in India by Fenske, J, Kala, N

“…A one-standard-deviation increase in linguistic distance predicts a reduction in the price correlation between two markets of 0.121 standard deviations for wheat, 0.181 for salt, and 0.088 for rice. While factors like genetic distance, literacy gaps, and railway connections are correlated with linguistic distance, they do not fully explain the correlation between linguistic distance and market integration.…”

The uniqueness trap by Flyvbjerg, B, Budzier, A, Christodoulou, MD, Zottoli, M

“…Project managers and planners are highly prone to believing that their projects are one of a kind—partly because those that seem new and distinctive are more likely to win support. But research on 1,300-plus projects reveals that few, if any, actually are unique. …”

A contract negotiation scheme for safety verification of interconnected systems by Tan, X, Papachristodoulou, A, Dimarogonas, DV

“…In this paper, we show that compositional methods like AGC can mitigate this problem. We formulate the synthesis problem into a set of small-size problems, which constructs local contracts for subsystems, and propose a negotiation scheme among the subsystems at the contract level. …”

Benchmarking Pavement Environmental Performance Using Data-Driven Modeling and Policy by Vaidyanath, Varsha

“…This paper addresses how a new pavement evaluation system and policy framework might drive better solutions to reduce carbon emissions, from a climate change standpoint. The main components include: establishing why current pavement rating systems and current policy are not sufficient, performing a data-driven analysis with a grading and scorecard system to assess, compare, and summarizing pavement design quality, and proposing an effective policy framework to implement the system.…”

Dialack by Foo, Jasmine

“…The objectives of the project involve exposing the younger generation to the beauty of dialects via a more active approach whereby content in dialects will be delivered on the online platforms they frequent before engaging them in the actual learning process, unlike existing works which are more passive in nature. The main deliverables will be motion graphics in and about dialects on online platforms to raise awareness.…”
