‘Archeology’ of Hidden Values of Underutilized Historic Industrial Sites in Context of Urban Regeneration and Nature-Based Solutions by Indre Grazuleviciute-Vileniske, Diana Zmejauskaite

“…Today, cities and their heritage function under so-called BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible) conditions. Climate change, military conflicts, and the urge to comply with sustainability requirements and to implement green transformation and urban regeneration cause a threat to rapid decision making, which may result in the loss of more subtle, intangible values in the urban environment. …”

Adaptive Weight Update Algorithm for Target Tracking of UUV Based on Improved Gaussian Mixture Cubature Kalman Filter by Hongjian Wang, Ying Wang, Cun Li, Juan Li, Qing Li, Xicheng Ban

“…The Gaussian mixture filter can solve the non-Gaussian problem of target tracking in complex environment by the multimode approximation method, but the weights of the Gaussian component of the conventional Gaussian mixture filter are only updated with the arrival of the measurement value in the measurement update stage. When the nonlinear degree of the system is high or the measurement value is missing, the weight of the Gauss component remains unchanged, and the probability density function of the system state cannot be accurately approximated. …”

Fast dynamical simulation combining harmonic-modal hybrid formulations with space separated representations by Claudia Germoso, Sebastian Rodriguez, Angelo Pasquale, Francisco Chinesta

“…Separately, we also developed a harmonic-modal analysis approach that combined modal and harmonic ingredients to efficiently perform time-integration of nonlinear soil behavior. This was achieved through the offline construction of a parametric dynamic response solution using PGD-based model order reduction techniques.Building upon these advancements, this paper extends the use of harmonic-modal hybrid formulations to dynamical problems in degenerated domains. …”
