Drawing the Map: Siting Architecture by Anne Bordeleau, Liana Bresler

“…If maps can successfully represent sets of complex interactions in an effective manner, they also have an objectifying tendency and are often criticized for being tools of domination as well for their propensity to stabilize space-time. Further, architectural mapping is often associated with the possibility to index the 'designer's syntactical code', a possibility coupled with the idea that 'none of the notations take precedence over any other', so as to encourage 'more plural, open-ended "performances" of the project-in-time'. …”

A Wide-Beam Scanning Mode for Near-Space Passive SARs by Peng Zhou, Peng Ren, Yongshou Dai

“…The receiving distance of a near-space SAR is much shorter than that of a satellite-based SAR, and the synthetic aperture time for a near-space passive SAR is not longer than the time interval during which a target transverses the azimuth beam of a transmitter. …”

Development of Integrated Choice and Latent Variable (ICLV) Models Using Matrix-Based Analytic Approximation and Automatic Differentiation Methods on TensorFlow Platform by Jie Ma, Xin Ye, Kun Huang

“…The LDLT matrix-based analytic approximation methods, including Mendell and Elston (ME) method, bivariate ME (BME) method, and two-variate bivariate screening (TVBS) method, were adapted to calculate the multivariate cumulative normal distribution (MVNCD) function in the ICLV model because of the better performances in accuracy and computational time. Integrated with the composite marginal likelihood (CML) estimation approach, the ICLV model based on high-dimensional integration can be estimated accurately within a reasonable time. …”

Optimal Integrated Model for Feeder Transit Route Design and Frequency-Setting Problem with Stop Selection by Ming Wei, Tao Liu, Bo Sun, Binbin Jing

“…The main objective of the proposed model was to simultaneously minimize the total walking, riding time, and waiting time of all passengers. As this study explored an NP-hard problem, a two-stage genetic algorithm combining the Dijkstra search method was further developed to yield metaoptimal solutions to the model within an acceptable time. …”

Finite Element Modeling of FRP-Strengthened RC Beam under Sustained Load by Shiyong Jiang, Weilai Yao, Jin Chen, Tao Cai

“…The results show that creep of concrete and epoxy resin cause significant variations of the edge stresses with time. According to the research in this paper, the FE approach is found to be able to properly simulate the long-term behavior of the FRP-strengthened beam and help us better understand the complex changes in the stress state occurring over time.…”
