Nonlinear Receding‐Horizon Differential Game for Drone Racing Along a Three‐Dimensional Path

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drone racing requires high‐speed navigation through three‐dimensional paths, posing significant challenges in control engineering. Existing control methods lack a feedback control framework that simultaneously addresses nonlinear drone dynamics and multi‐agent competitive interactions, such as overtaking or obstructing opponents.

Unlocking Financial Inclusion: The Dynamics of Bank Account Ownership in Urban Slums

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Financial inclusion is a key driver of sustainable development, contributing to poverty reduction (SDG 1), gender equality (SDG 5), and reduced inequalities (SDG 10). Despite extensive financial‐inclusion policies in India, residents of urban slums remain largely excluded from formal banking systems.

Dancing to multiple tunes: Establishing legitimacy with first‐time and repeat backers in crowdfunding campaigns

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Using 14,108 Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns, we examine three strategies to gather support from first‐time versus repeat backers: narrative distinctiveness aligning with backers' expectations of novelty, endorsement from Kickstarter staff, and campaign leadership's reciprocity of funding other campaigns.

Modelling Suicide‐Related Communication Dynamics: A Socio‐Cybernetic Framework for Governance

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Suicide‐related phenomena (SPS) are often approached through individual‐level risk factors or moral framings, yet their population‐level dynamics depend critically on how ‘suicide’ becomes observable, circulates and is governed across functionally differentiated systems.

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks

steel research international, EarlyView.
Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.

Experimental and theoretical investigation of longitudinal tunnel lining joints with confining reinforcement

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Precast reinforced concrete segmental linings are frequently used in modern tunneling. In these linings, the longitudinal joints typically have a reduced contact cross‐section and thus often govern the design, particularly in tunnels under high hydrostatic pressure or crossing squeezing or swelling ground with correspondingly high ...

Simple and detailed modeling of corrosion‐affected slender shear critical RC beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The corrosion of steel bars compromises both the safety and the serviceability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Consequently, reliable tools are required to estimate the detrimental effects of corrosion on the structural response of RC members subjected to transverse loads.

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

A Preventive Static Security Control Strategy for Distribution Networks Based on Phase Shifting Transformer Loop‐Closing Devices

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
As the share of renewable energy in the energy mix continues to increase, the penetration of distributed renewable generation in distribution networks is also rising steadily. Loop‐closing operation provides an effective means to enhance renewable energy accommodation across different grid partitions.

Quantile‐Dependent Volatility Interconnectedness Between Commodity Markets, Oil Price Uncertainty, and Global Supply Chain Pressure

Australian Economic Papers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines volatility interconnectedness among selected agricultural commodities and precious/industrial metals, together with oil price uncertainty and global supply chain pressure, over the period January 1998 to June 2024 using a Quantile‐on‐Quantile connectedness framework.
