In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…Going through the chain of events leading to the fateful encounter, he does not remember the acrobats with gold-capped teeth or the jugglers with six arms, nor the thousand more inventions so ingenious and unusual that his father wanted to invent a memory machine so that he could remember them all; in the critical moments right before his death, the other events are fleeting, yet “for the first time since his youth he knowingly fell into a trap of nostalgia and relived that prodigious afternoon of the gypsies when his father took him to see ice” (García Márquez 266-267). This brings us back to the very opening of Gabriel García Márquez‟s One Hundred Years of Solitude, the famous opening line: “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice” (1). …”

3D object detection for autonomous vehicle by Wang, Yihan

“…3D object detection plays an important role in autonomous driving, while most state-of-the-art researches are developed based on 64-line LiDARs. However, the cost of high-resolution LiDARs are several magnitude higher than the low- resolution applied LiDARs on the makes the current research majority of low-cost robotics hard to be widely platforms. …”

A Framework for Robust Assessment of Power Grid Stability and Resiliency by Vu, Thanh Long, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…In particular, we formulate and solve two novel robust stability and resiliency assessment problems of power grids subject to the uncertainty in equilibrium points and uncertainty in fault-on dynamics. Furthermore, we bring in the quadratic Lyapunov functions approach to transient stability assessment, offering real-time construction of stability/resiliency certificates and real-time stability assessment. …”

Societal factors and the inescapability of Chinese female oppression by Wang, Carmen Onggo Jiawen

“…They would rather align themselves with men from the same class than women from different classes, unwilling to give up the comfort that being from a higher class brings. It therefore remains questionable whether the problem of female emancipation can ever be solved even up till the present, as the issues that the authors from that time bring to light are still issues that affect the present day.…”
