Applicability of a Simple Decay Function to Describe Fire‐Protective Fabrics' Aging Behavior

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The simple decay function offers a mean to quantitatively analyze and contrast the aging behavior of various fire‐protective fabrics under a wide range of aging conditions. ABSTRACT Predicting the effect of aging conditions on materials' performance is a challenging yet critical task.

Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

New views of some invariants associated with the Cartesian 2D velocity gradient tensor

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Vorticity and divergence of horizontal flow are fundamental quantities in meteorology; both are linear functions of the four elements of the 2D velocity gradient tensor and both are formally unchanged under coordinate rotation. We explore four quadratic functions of the elements that are geometrically invariant in this sense, finding some novel ...

Toward Encrypted OPF Across Transmission and Distribution—Prospects and Open Problems of Encrypted Quadratic Programming

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing integration of distributed energy resources demands enhanced coordination between transmission system operators (TSOs) and distribution system operators (DSOs) to maintain reliable grid operation. Traditional approaches rely on hierarchical or distributed optimization schemes for power flow management, but these methods either ...

Initial State Privacy of Nonlinear Systems on Riemannian Manifolds

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate initial state privacy protection for discrete‐time nonlinear closed systems. By capturing Riemannian geometric structures inherent in such privacy challenges, we refine the concept of differential privacy through the introduction of an initial state adjacency set based on Riemannian distances.
