Cooperative Localization of Multi-Agent Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV) Networks in Intelligent Transportation Systems by S. Shahkar

“…GNSS-independent localization is one of the most prominent research problems in aerial autonomous systems navigation, especially in certain applications where Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) methods are inapplicable due to the complexity of the environment, or in open-air spaces where a flock of Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs) navigate in a GNSS-independent fashion. …”

Socio-economic transformations in the Baltic countries by Natalia V. Govorova

“…The economic and political spaces of the Baltic states, against the background of high inflation and close to stagnation GDP growth rates, nevertheless demonstrated different results in terms of certain socio-economic parameters, which is largely due to the difference in the provision of their own energy resources and measures taken at the national level to mitigate the crisis phenomena. …”

Interpreting convolutional neural networks' low-dimensional approximation to quantum spin systems by Yilong Ju, Shah Saad Alam, Jonathan Minoff, Fabio Anselmi, Han Pu, Ankit Patel

“…However, it remains uncertain how CNNs, with a model complexity that scales at most linearly with the number of particles, solve the “curse of dimensionality” and efficiently represent wavefunctions in exponentially large Hilbert spaces. In this work, we use methodologies from information theory, group theory and machine learning, to elucidate how CNN captures relevant physics of quantum systems. …”

Predicting the structure and stability of oxide nanoscrolls from dichalcogenide precursors by Adway Gupta, Arunima K. Singh

“…To determine the propensity for forming a nanoscroll, we develop a first-principles simulation-based physio-mechanical model to determine the thermodynamic stability of nanoscrolling as well as the equilibrium structure of the nanoscrolls, that is, their inner radius, outer radius, and interlayer spacing. We validate this model using experimental observations and find excellent agreement for the equilibrium nanoscroll structure. …”

“An Intense Level of Self-regulation”: Technological Opportunities and Limitations of Online Intergroup Dialogue by Grant Jackson, Sarah Schiffecker, Oleksandra Poquet

“…In this study, we interviewed 16 college students who had participated in IGD via Zoom regarding their online IGD experience, illuminating a variety of opportunities and limitations related to students’ use of cameras, microphones, and the chat feature; the physical spaces in which students experienced their online IGD; the online display of students’ IGD peers; students’ engagement in multi-tasking during IGD sessions; students’ experiences of small group activities in “breakout rooms”; and how the online delivery of IGD promoted and constrained students’ sense of equity and equality throughout their IGD experience. …”

Embracing Plural Curricula Amid Neoliberalism in Contemporary Universities in Africa: Asante’s Afrocentric Idea Revisited by Phefumula Nyoni, Otilia Chiramba

“…The paper explores the complex nature of pedagogic transformation mainly due to the persistence of Western ideals under a resurgent neoliberal philosophy that shapes practices in contemporary university spaces. The paper thus highlights how Afrocentricity transcends simplistic notions of intellectual discussions as it highlights serious and practical realities that shape the identities, ideals, aspirations, and values of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. …”

Geometry-Based Synchrosqueezing S-Transform with Shifted Instantaneous Frequency Estimator Applied to Gearbox Fault Diagnosis by Xinping Zhu, Wuxi Shi, Zhongxing Huang, Liqing Shi

“…Traditional time-frequency analysis (TFA) methods, such as the Synchrosqueezing S-transform (SSST), often face challenges in accurately representing fault-related features when significant mode closely spaced components are present. The proposed GSSST method overcomes these limitations by implementing an intuitive geometric reassignment framework, which reassigns time-frequency (TF) coefficients to maximize energy concentration, thereby allowing fault components to be distinctly isolated even under challenging conditions. …”
