Multiframe Target Localization With Strapdown Seeker Based on Self-Adaptive L-SHADE by Jiayang Wu, Huabo Yang, Hao Yang, Jiexin Zhou, Shifeng Zhang

“…First, some preprocessing approaches are applied to ensure the accuracy of target location estimation with the linear success history–based adaptive differential evolution (L-SHADE) algorithm. Second, L-SHADE is extended into the self-adaptive linear success history–based adaptive differential evolution (SL-SHADE) algorithm to speed up the calculation of the target location to be applied onboard for actual flight use. …”

Clinical variables associated with Family Adaptability and Cohesion in patients with spinal cord injury by Verónica D. Neciosup-Tomé

“…Results: There were no statistically significant differences in family cohesion and adaptability in terms of clinical variables (etiology of the lesion, level of the lesion, type of lesion and time of evolution). A small effect size was found in terms of family adaptability and time of evolution of the lesion (d = 0.36). …”
