Guidance Navigation and Control for Autonomous Multiple Spacecraft Assembly: Analysis and Experimentation by Riccardo Bevilacqua, Marcello Romano, Fabio Curti, Andrew P. Caprari, Veronica Pellegrini

“…The guidance and control strategies are LQR-based, designed to take into account the evolving shape and mass properties of the assembling spacecraft. Each spacecraft runs symmetric algorithms. The relative navigation is based on augmenting the target's state vector by introducing, as extra state components, the target's control inputs. …”

Analysis and Improvement of Dynamic Characteristic of High-speed Opener Cam Mechanism by Lei An, Suohuai Zhang, Wangxing Huang

“…Reducing the cam thickness and increasing the damping can improve the dynamic characteristics of the mechanism and enable the opener to run at a faster speed. At the same time， using ANSYS to perform modal analysis on the cam with varying thickness， a basis for avoiding resonance and more comprehensive dynamic analysis is provided.…”

COVFlow: phylodynamics analyses of viruses from selected SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences by Danesh, Gonché, Boennec, Corentin, Verdurme, Laura, Roussel, Mathilde, Trombert-Paolantoni, Sabine, Visseaux, Benoit, Haim-Boukobza, Stéphanie, Alizon, Samuel

“…We introduce the COVFlow pipeline, accessible at https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/ete/CoV-flow, which allows a user to select sequences from the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID) database according to user-specified criteria, to perform basic phylogenetic analyses, and to produce an XML file to be run in the Beast2 software package. We illustrate the potential of this tool by studying two sets of sequences from the Delta variant in two French regions. …”

Immersion in Computer Games: The Role of Spatial Presence and Flow by David Weibel, Bartholomäus Wissmath

“…Thus, we empirically examined the relationship between presence and flow in the context of a computer role-playing game (𝑁=70), a racing game (𝑁=120), and a jump and run game (𝑁=72). In all three studies, factor analysis revealed that presence and flow are distinct constructs, which do hardly share common variance. …”

Mathematically modeling PCR: An asymptotic approximation with potential for optimization by Martha Garlick, James Powell, David Eyre, Thomas Robbins

“…Our results suggest that dynamically optimizing the extension and annealing stages of individual samples may significantly reduce the total time for a PCR run. Moreover, we present a nearly optimal design that functions almost as well and does not depend on the specifics of a single reaction, and so would work for multi sample and multiplex applications.…”
