Gaussian process latent variable models-ANN based method for automatic features selection and dimensionality reduction for control of EMG-driven systems by Maham Nayab, Asim Waris, Muhammad Jawad Khan, Dokhyl AlQahtani, Ahmed Imran, Syed Omer Gilani, Umer Hameed Shah

“…In individual comparisons, GPLVM had the shortest computational time (29 s), which was significantly less than that of all the other models (p < 0.05), with PCA following at approximately 35 s and Relief at approximately 57 s, while PPCA took approximately 69 s, and Lasso exhibited higher computational costs than all the models but lower computational costs than did the original set. Using the best-performing features, all possible sets of 2, 3, 4 and 5 features were tested, and the 5-feature set exhibited the best performance. …”

Flux Fractionalization Transition in Anisotropic S=1 Antiferromagnets and Dimer-Loop Models by Souvik Kundu, Kedar Damle

“…The destruction of power-law columnar spin order below w_{c} is driven by an unusual flux fractionalization mechanism, topological in character but quite distinct from the usual Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism for such transitions: Fractional electric fluxes which are bound into integer values for w>w_{c}, proliferate in the w<w_{c} phase and destroy power-law columnar order.…”

La politique de restauration des peintures des musées nationaux (1930-1950) by Fernando Suárez San Pablo

“…After painting conservators were recruited by the Musées Nationaux in 1935, a vast campaign of restoration of paintings, for the most part belonging to the Musée du Louvre, took place. More than 600 paintings were restored between 1936 and 1950 in the new workshop set up in the Louvre where the restorers Lucien Aubert, Pierre Michel, Pierre Paulet, René Longa, Edgard Aillet and Georges Zezzos worked under the supervision of Jean-Gabriel Goulinat.The present article aims to analyze the activity developed during this period exploring its origins at the end of the 1920s. …”

Research on RBV Control Strategy of Large Angle Maneuver by Jiangtao Xu, Na Luo, Yu Fu, Litong Wang, Xiande Wu

“…Considering the hypersonic aerospace vehicle, with high dynamic, strong varying parameters, strong nonlinear, strong coupling, and the complicated flight environment, conventional flight control methods based on linear system may become invalid. To the high precision and reliable control problem of this vehicle, nonlinear flight control strategy based on neural network robust adaptive dynamic inversion is proposed. …”
