0-1 Knapsack in Nearly Quadratic Time by Jin, Ce

“… (2) To exploit the small support size, our main technical component is a vast extension of the “witness propagation” method, originally designed by Deng, Mao, and Zhong (2023) for speeding up dynamic programming in the easier unbounded knapsack settings. …”

The Mapping Imaging Spectrometer for Europa (MISE) by Blaney, Diana L., Hibbitts, Karl, Diniega, Serina, Davies, Ashley G., Clark, Roger N., Green, Robert O., Hedman, Matthew, Langevin, Yves, Lunine, Jonathan, McCord, Thomas B., Murchie, Scott, Paranicas, Chris, Seelos, Frank, Soderblom, Jason M., Cable, Morgan L.

“…MISE will detect illumination from 0.8 to 5 μm with 10 nm spectral resolution, a spatial sampling of 25 m per pixel at 100 km altitude, and 300 cross-track pixels, enabling discrimination among the two principal states of water ice on Europa, identification of the main non-ice components of interest: salts, acids, and organics, and detection of trace materials as well as some thermal signatures. …”

On the spectrum and support theory of a finite tensor category by Nakano, Daniel K., Vashaw, Kent B., Yakimov, Milen T.

“…This enables us to put forward a complete and detailed program to investigate the relationship between the two support theories, based on of the cohomology ring of an FTC, . Our main result is the construction of a continuous map from the noncommutative Balmer spectrum of an arbitrary FTC, , to the of the categorical center and a theorem that this map is surjective under a weaker finite generation assumption for than the one conjectured by Etingof–Ostrik. …”

Optimizing resource allocation in large communications satellite constellations by Pachler de la Osa, Nils

“…By testing existing designs, it is concluded that the number of satellites, as well as the link quality are the main drivers of performance. Furthermore, the analysis shows that hybrid constellations offer advantages over other designs, thanks to the combination of high quality links on low altitude satellites, and high coverage on high altitude satellites. …”

Phonetic Faithfulness in Phonological Opacity by Kim, Yeong-Joon

“…This asymmetry in the patterns of phonological opacity underscores that opaque interactions are not independent of phonetic substance. In addition to this main finding, it is also shown that the current proposal offers additional advantages in explaining phonological opacity. …”

Towards Spatially Varying Gloss Reproduction for 3D Printing by Piovarci, Michal, Foshey, Michael, Babaei, Vahid, Rusinkiewicz, Szymon, Matusik, Wojciech, Didyk, Piotr

“…A common post-processing step is to apply off-the-shelf varnishes that modify the final gloss. The main difficulty in automating this process lies in the physical properties of the varnishes which owe their appearance to a high concentration of large particles and as such, they cannot be easily deposited with current 3D color printers. …”

Vortex-induced vibrations of a cylinder with tripping wires by Hover, F.S., Tvedt, H., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…For a cylinder forced to oscillate harmonically, the main observed wire effects are: (a) an earlier onset of frequency lock-in, when compared with the smooth cylinder case; (b) at moderate amplitude/cylinder diameter (A=D) ratios (0.2 and 0.5), changes in the phase of wake velocity and of lift with respect to motion are translated to higher forcing frequencies, and (c) at A=D = 1:0, no excitation region exists; the lift force is always dissipative. …”

4.181 Architectural Design Workshop - Rethinking Office Development, Spring 2003 by Duffy, Francis, 1940-, Tsakonas, Konstantinos G.

“…It is certainly intended for graduate students in architecture but also for students in the Center for Real Estate (CRE), and for students in other related disciplines, who are interested in getting the most out of the design process but are not themselves necessarily designers. The main qualification for taking part in the Workshop is an interest in, and an urgent desire to do something about, specifying the type, quality, image and performance of the new wave of speculative office buildings that will be needed in the next cycle of economic recovery. …”

Experimental and numerical evaluation of composite floor systems under fire conditions by Tan, K.-H., Nguyen, T.-T.

“…Once the composite slab-beam action is weakened by cracks in the slab over the main or secondary edge beams, the benefit associated with a greater stiffness of the edge beams is lost. …”

Utilization of sewage-sludge-derived hydrochars toward efficient cocombustion with different-rank coals : effects of subcritical water conversion and blending scenarios by Wang, Jing-Yuan, He, Chao, Wang, Ke, Yang, Yanhui

“…The results suggest that SHC-320 reduced the activation energy of the blends and altered the main combustion profiles. Meanwhile, blending of SHC-320 induced greater heat loss for higher-rank coals, whereas a higher portion of SHC-320 further improved the ignition reactivity of high-rank coal blends. …”

Convergence rate of overlapping domain decomposition methods for the Rudin-Osher-Fatemi model based on a dual formulation by Chang, Huibin, Tai, Xue-Cheng, Wang, Li-Lian, Yang, Danping

“…We introduce a stable “unity decomposition” using a set of “partition of unity functions,” which naturally leads to overlapping DDMs based on the dual formulation. The main objective of this paper is to rigorously analyze the convergence of the SSC and PSC algorithms and derive the rate of convergence $O(n^{-1/2})$, where $n$ is the number of iterations. …”

Understanding campus mobility by Toh, Christopher Gerard Wei Hong

“…To begin with, an exploratory study on mobility patterns on campus, looking at spatial and temporal aspects of mobility. A main finding would be that the arrival rate of people on campus increases at a faster rate, with counts peaking between 1100H and 1300H, before decreasing at a gradual rate thereafter. …”

The characteristics and formation mechanisms of emissions from thermal decomposition of 3D printer polymer filaments by Ding, Shirun, Ng, Bing Feng, Shang, Xiaopeng, Liu, Hu, Lu, Xuehong, Wan, Man Pun

“…Initial increment in emissions during liquefaction and the relatively constant decomposition of products in the liquid phase are two main TVOC formation mechanisms. More importantly, low heating rate has the potential to restrain the formation of carcinogenic monomer, styrene, from ABS. …”

Advances in alternating current electroluminescent devices by Wang, Lin, Xiao, Lian, Gu, Haoshuang, Sun, Handong

“…For example, it is crucial to enhance the effective electric field around the emitters for AC‐driven thin film electroluminescent (AC‐TFEL) devices, while the unbalanced generation/injection of charge carriers is the main limiting factor for the performance of AC‐driven light‐emitting devices (AC‐LEDs). …”
