Efficient Rank-Adaptive Least-Square Estimation and Multiple-Parameter Linear Regression Using Novel Dyadically Recursive Hermitian Matrix Inversion by Hsiao-Chun Wu, Shih Yu Chang, Tho Le-Ngoc, Yiyan Wu

“…Through our complexity analyses and the Monte Carlo simulations, we show that our new dyadic recursion algorithm is more efficient than the conventional Cholesky factorization for the sequential rank-adaptive LSE (MLR) and the associated variable model-order LSE (MLR) can seek the trade-off between the targeted estimation performance and the required computational complexity. …”

Movements of Juvenile Hen Harriers (<i>Circus cyaneus</i>) Tracked by Satellite Telemetry in Spain by Sara Morollón, Simon Lee, Vicente Urios

“…Overall, the maximum distance from nest location and the total distance travelled were greater in the first year of dispersal than in the second year, indicating, as expected, an improved understanding of their environment and more efficient movements. The juvenile dispersal behaviour of the Hen Harrier is highly variable and represents the most vulnerable season for survival as the birds navigate new and unexplored territories.…”

Characteristics of NOx Formation and Removal in the Transient Process of a 660 MW Coal-fired Power Unit by Jiang FAN, Shuangping ZHANG, Yu MENG, Weixiong CHEN, Junjie YAN

“…In this paper, with the goal of studying the characteristics of nitrogen oxide generation and removal in the transient process of a 660 MW coal-fired unit, a prediction model of nitrogen oxides generation in the transient process was established, and the nitrogen oxides generation prediction study in the process of variable load was carried out. According to the characteristics of the burner switching in the variable load process of the coal-fired unit, it was found that the higher load point of the newly added burner, the more effectively it can avoid the increase of the generation value of nitrogen oxides. …”
