Performance Guarantees for Spectral Initialization in Rotation Averaging and Pose-Graph SLAM by Doherty, Kevin J., Rosen, David M., Leonard, John J.

“…Our results reveal the critical role that spectral graph-theoretic properties of the measurement network play in controlling estimation accuracy; moreover, as a by-product of our analysis we obtain new bounds on the estimation error for the maximum likelihood estimators in SLAM and RA, which are likely to be of independent interest. Finally, we show experimentally that our spectral estimator is very effective in practice, producing initializations of comparable or superior quality at lower computational cost compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques.…”

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) can be suppressed under ammonia-stressed condition - reevaluate the role of conductive materials by Yan, Wangwang, Mukherjee, Manisha, Zhou, Yan

“…It is revealed that ZVI effectively promoted all AD reactions, especially the energy unfavorable propanoate and butanoate metabolism and overall methanogenesis. In addition, ZVI likely acted as intracellular electron shuttles, and the conjunction point of ZVI to electron transfer system was identified as EtfAB: quinone oxidoreductase. …”

Encapsulation of probiotics for food and beverage applications by Ang, Kai Lin

“…Up to date, no studies have been done to examine the viability of probiotics in popular, well-liked, commercialized carbonated sodas/beers, but it is known that certain components in these matrices (e.g. phosphoric acid in soda, hops and ethanol in beers) can reduce the viability of probiotics. …”

Intelligence failure in U.S. counterterrorism by King, Brian Allen

“…This is significant because it supports the conclusion that more can be done in the analytical and information sharing domains to prevent al-Qaeda and insider threat attacks, while supporting the idea that state-sponsored attacks will be less likely to have data available to connect prior to an attack due to the higher degree of professionalism and advanced operational security resources available to government intelligence services supporting the attack planning.…”

Site leaching model and climate change impacts of an expanding coastal dumpsite by Wang, Yijie

“…The results show that the historical cumulative release of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), Cu, and Cr exhibits an increasing trend, which is likely to continue in the future. Simulations indicate that from 2022 to 2050 and 2100, the cumulative release of contaminants could increase by up to 100% and 200%, respectively. …”
