Information fusion and cooperative control for target search and localization in multi-agent sensor networks by Hu, Jinwen

“…Our algorithm leads to a stable estimate for each agent regardless of whether or not the system is uniformly observable locally with the measurements of itself and its neighbors as long as the system is uniformly observable with the measurements of all agents and the communication is sufficiently fast compared to the sampling. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed distributed Kalman filtering algorithm. …”

Synthesisation, characterisation and water adsorption on novel functional metal organic frameworks for heat transformation process by Han, Bo

“…Furthermore, it is also observed from GCMC results that the implantation of -CH3 additives on MOF-801 (Zr) shows longer hydrophobic length as compared to that of the parent MOF-801 (Zr), which delivers higher uptake-offtake difference (Δq) with fast kinetics per adsorption desorption cycle. The GCMC results show here the benchmark for the synthesisation and post modification of MOFs and composite adsorbents. …”

Structured sparse representations for supervised and unsupervised learning by Zeng, Yijie

“…Convergence analysis is presented with theoretical justifications, and the computational complexity is among the lowest within the context of online CDL algorithms with least memory consumptions. Finally, this thesis proposes a novel masked version of SOCDL which can perform online learning on incomplete data for image inpainting.…”

“…Moreover, our results also unequivocally indicated that ROS could serve as one non-negligible factor to overcome the endo/lysosomal barriers and to facilitate the fast translocation of caged drugs into nucleus. This study provided a simple strategy to investigate the details regarding the rapid intracellular drug redistribution by overcoming the different biological barriers in resistant cancer cells, which could help to better understand the mechanisms of drug delivery, and it may also facilitate the rational design of new carrier systems towards the enhanced drug activity in cancer therapy. …”
