Consequences of an Analysis Using Biblical Analogies for Automated Vehicle Control Design by Balázs NÉMETH

“…Through the analogies, the root of the automatic control design problems, i.e. forming objective functions, on a theological level is explored. The analysis leads to three consequences, which are related to the difficulty of forming control objective, the difficulty of considering human objectives in control, and the necessity of viewing systems in all their complexity. …”

Analysis and Application of Dual-Control Single-Exponential Water Inrush Prediction Mechanism for Excavation Roadways Based on Peridynamics by Xiaoning Liu, Xinqiu Fang, Minfu Liang, Gang Wu, Ningning Chen, Yang Song

“…It identifies three zones of water-conducting channels in roadway surrounding rock, the water fracture zone, the driving fracture zone, and the water-resisting zone, revealing that the damage degree of the water-resisting zone dominates the transformation mechanism between delayed and instantaneous water inrush. A discriminant function for the effectiveness of water-conducting channels is established, and a single-index prediction and evaluation system based on damage critical values is proposed. …”
