Sequential Fault-Tolerant Fusion Estimation for Multisensor Time-Varying Systems by Xiaoliang Feng, Lan Wu, Chenglin Wen

“…Based on the fault detection method, the sequential fusion framework could locate and estimate the sensor fault and realize the fault-tolerant estimation of system states. In the sense of minimum mean square error (MMSE), based on the sequential detection of bias fault of sensors, a sequential fault-tolerant fusion estimation approach is presented to estimate the sensor fault and the system state, simultaneously, optimally, in real time. …”

Optimal Sixteenth Order Convergent Method Based on Quasi-Hermite Interpolation for Computing Roots by Fiza Zafar, Nawab Hussain, Zirwah Fatimah, Athar Kharal

“…As this method requires four function evaluations and one derivative evaluation at each step, it is optimal in the sense of the Kung and Traub conjecture. The comparisons are given with some other newly developed sixteenth-order methods. …”

Encephalic death. ¿life or death? Ethic aspects. by Ariel Uriarte Méndez, Jesús Vila Díaz

“…It is analyzed how the lack of unanimity of doctors to withdraw the assistance to a patient with encephalic death and declare him dead, shows the complexity of the theme in the sense that it implies an ethic problem.

EXPLORING EMMA BOVARY’S DIFFUSED PERSONALITY IN GUSTAVE FLAUBERT’S MADAME BOVARY NOVEL by Zuvyati Aryani Tlonaen

“…The research instrument used the diffusion personality features by Kroger (2005) consisting of 12 features; low levels of autonomy, low level of self-esteem, low level of identity, having no firm identity-defining commitments nor interest in making them, demonstrate the lowest sense of personal continuity over time, difficulties in adapting to an environment, most self-focused, unsystematic approaches to solving problems, high level of neuroticism, high defense-mechanism, high level of external locus of control, and hopeless. …”

Landscapes of care in Mexico City: Experiences, mobility, and infrastructures by Paula Soto-Villagrán

“…The main conclusions show how caregiving practices can be present in the daily journeys of women living in the Mexican capital and that transportation territories and infrastructures can be understood as spaces for caregiving that shape the experiences of caregiving on the move. In this sense, investigating landscapes of care entails making visible realities that otherwise go unnoticed, as these landscapes are present in daily journeys – principally of women – through the city, though other inhabitants may not be aware of them or observe them directly.…”

The Eigenspace Spectral Regularization Method for Solving Discrete Ill-Posed Systems by Fredrick Asenso Wireko, Benedict Barnes, Charles Sebil, Joseph Ackora-Prah

“…This paper shows that discrete linear equations with Hilbert matrix operator, circulant matrix operator, conference matrix operator, banded matrix operator, TST matrix operator, and sparse matrix operator are ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. Gauss least square method (GLSM), QR factorization method (QRFM), Cholesky decomposition method (CDM), and singular value decomposition (SVDM) failed to regularize these ill-posed problems. …”

Motivators for using on-demand vehicle sharing services in Brazil by Fábio Violin

“…The five major regions of Brazil were considered in this research, totaling 2150 interviews, indicating the existence of fourteen motivators for use involving the economic, social, environmental, and technological dimensions, however, only six variables comprise the structuring nucleus of demand and are based on an element of economic order (Reduced Tariff), one of a socioeconomic nature (Expectation of Benefits) and four technological drivers (Technological Availability, Convenience of Time and Boarding in addition to Data Security), which figure as utilitarian indicators, corroborating the results of international studies and contrasting those that signal hedonistic elements as relevant. In this sense, the study presents advances in establishing parameters of consumer choice based on the use of platforms aimed at displacement, figuring as an indicator of the reasons for use and their scaling of relevance in the users’ decision-making process.…”

Villy Sørensen’s Hermeneutics of the Fall by Rasa Alė Petronytė

“…Sørensen’s notion of the Fall is understood as a fragmentation of the original unity and a transition from coherence to a state defined by discordance. In this sense, the poetics of the Fall is read as a configuration of the Ricœurian two-way hermeneutics: the archaeology of consciousness that unmasks symbols and the eschatology that reflects on them in a renewed way. …”
