(Im)mobile phones by Alette Schoon, Larry Strelitz

“…While research on mobile phones in developed countries suggest these devices facilitate the creation of a society free from the confines of local geography and community, where the user can craft an individualised networked sociability, this may not be the reality in the global south. In our study, mobile phones were seen to amplify a communal sociability where privacy is largely absent from the densely contiguous neighbourhood where life happens on the streets for all to see. …”

Recursive joint Cramér‐Rao lower bound for parametric systems with two‐adjacent‐states dependent measurements by Xianqing Li, Zhansheng Duan, Uwe D. Hanebeck

“…Abstract Joint Cramér‐Rao lower bound (JCRLB) is very useful for the performance evaluation of joint state and parameter estimation (JSPE) of non‐linear systems, in which the current measurement only depends on the current state. However, in reality, the non‐linear systems with two‐adjacent‐states dependent (TASD) measurements, that is, the current measurement is dependent on the current state as well as the most recent previous state, are also common. …”
