UAV trajectory estimation and deviation analysis for contingency management in urban environments by Pang, Bizhao, Ng, Ee Meng, Low, Kin Huat

“…The simulation results show that: (1) for uniform distribution of GPS signal, the estimated trajectory will deviate linearly with the decrease of signal density up until a density of 0.1hz and increase exponentially after that; and (2) for non-uniform distribution, the Gaussian distribution performed the worst, followed by random distribution and Sine distribution.…”

Failure of plastic structures due to drop impact by Yuen, Shuqin.

“…Comparisons of the fracture mechanisms after these two types of tests were carried out, and it was found that bonded honeycomb sandwich panels demonstrated the best performance in the impact test, but the worst in the quasi-static test. Also, specimens that underwent quasi-static load were able to absorb higher amount of energy compared to those that underwent the impact load. …”

Modeling and analysis of thermal storage for a district cooling system (DCS) by Ong, Zhiguan.

“…In addition, the use of larger and more efficient chilled water pumps brings about a reduction of 25.49% in energy consumption, between the best and worst performing feasible pump solutions. With the centralised plant, the energy consumption by the operating chillers is lowered due to economies of scale. …”

Evaluating vision-language models long-chain reasoning ability with multiple ground truths by Setiadharma, Christopher Arif

“…While n-gram based metrics scored some models answer on par with a human’s answer, these scores do not have high correlation with humans preference when used to rank the models from best to worst. The highest scoring models are found to only have 0.21 Spearman correlation score with human preference. …”

“…Second, the identification phase involves the process of establishing a decision matrix via a crossover of the ‘evaluation criteria’ and MaOO’, and the level of importance of each selective criteria and sub-criteria from phase one is computed to identify its weight value by using the best–worst method (BWM). Third, the development phase involves the creation of a decision matrix for MaOO selection on the basis of the integrated BWM and VIKOR method. …”
