Ectomycorrhizal community composition, diversity, and their environmental drivers across common UK temperate woodlands by Ong, Wei Sern

“…While overall ECM richness/diversity was higher among the ancient semi-natural broadleaved habitats than the coniferous-dominant planted woodlands, coppicing and monoculture growth did not appear to reduce ECM richness when compared against their non-coppiced woodlands and mixed conifer woodlands counterparts. …”

Cooperative collision avoidance in multirobot systems using fuzzy rules and velocity obstacles by Tang, Wenbing, Zhou, Yuan, Zhang, Tianwei, Liu, Yang, Liu, Jing, Ding, Zuohua

“…Moreover, they cannot deal with uncertain sensing data and linguistic requirements (e.g., the speed of a robot should not be large when it is near to other robots). Hence, to guarantee real-time collision avoidance and deal with linguistic requirements, a distributed and hybrid motion planning method, named Fuzzy-VO, is proposed for multirobot systems. …”

A machine-learning-based event-triggered model predictive control for building energy management by Yang, Shiyu, Chen, Wanyu, Wan, Man Pun

“…This paper proposes an event-triggered mechanism (ETM) that only runs optimization when triggering events occur. Contrary to conventional ETMs that only considers the current information (e.g., room conditions), the ETM proposed is based on a cost function that covers the past, current, and future information. …”

Bolstering functionality in multilayer and bilayer WS₂ via focused laser micro-engraving by Chan, Si Min, Poh, Eng Tuan, Leong, Jin Feng, Goh, Johnson Kuan Eng, Sow, Chorng Haur

“…Herein, we report a newfound property of the laser-thinned regions to adhere strongly to the underlying substrate when lasered down to the monolayer limit. Upon a brief sonication in various solvents, the surrounding pristine multilayers can be lifted off, solely leaving behind the post-lasered monolayer patterns. …”

Multi-track, multi-layer cladding layers of YCF102: an analytical and predictive investigation of geometric characteristics by Xi, Wenchao, Song, Boxue, Chen, Liaoyuan, Liang, Yingdong, Yu, Tianbiao, Wang, Jun, Sun, Qi

“…The results show that the increase of the number of tracks and layers lead to the increase of clad height, clad width and melt pool depth. When cladding the sixth layer, the clad width and melt pool depth still show an increasing trend, but the increase rate of melt pool depth slows down. …”

VToonify: controllable high-resolution portrait video style transfer by Yang, Shuai, Jiang, Liming, Liu, Ziwei, Loy, Chen Change

“…Although a series of successful portrait image toonification models built upon the powerful StyleGAN have been proposed, these image-oriented methods have obvious limitations when applied to videos, such as the fixed frame size, the requirement of face alignment, missing non-facial details and temporal inconsistency. …”

Design and verification of carefree maneuvering protection for a high performance fighter aircraft by Jebakumar, S. K., Pashilkar, Abhay A., Sundararajan, Narasimhan

“…This is then augmented with a novel angle of attack protection that comes into play only when the pilot inputs cause the aircraft to exceed the incidence on the positive or negative side (one sided protection), while maintaining the rate command attitude hold behavior within the normal operational bounds of angle of attack. …”

GBGVD: growth-based geodesic Voronoi diagrams by Qi, Yunjia, Zong, Chen, Zhang, Yunxiao, Chen, Shuangmin, Xu, Minfeng, Ran, Lingqiang, Xu, Jian, Xin, Shiqing, He, Ying

“…Generally speaking, each ordinary bisector point of the GVD is determined by two adjacent generators while each branching point of the GVD is given by at least three generators. When there are sufficiently many generators, straight-line distance serves as an effective alternative of geodesic distance for computing GVDs. …”
