Enabling Stochastic Dynamic Games for Robotic Swarms
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This paper scales stochastic dynamic games to large swarms of robots through selective agent modeling and variable partial belief space planning. We formulate these games using a belief space variant of iterative Linear Quadratic Gaussian (iLQG). We scale to teams of 50 agents through selective modeling based on the estimated influence of agents ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Elastic wave propagation and stop-band generation in strongly damaged solids
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014 In this work, we study the propagation of elastic waves in elongated solids with an array of equallyspaced deep transverse cracks, focusing in particular on the determination of stop-bands.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water pollution by oil and organic substances causes serious problems that threaten the ecosystem. Superhydrophobic materials represent an effective solution for removing oil from water. The present paper investigates the development of a low‐cost, superhydrophobic composite for oil–water separation.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Adaptive mixing formation control of multiquadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle systems
Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a distributed adaptive mixing control (AMC) design for formation maintenance of systems of multiquadrotor UAVs (q‐UAVs) during commanded path‐tracking maneuvers. The proposed formation control scheme has a two‐level structure. The high level defines the desired trajectories for rigid and persistent formation acquisition and

Repeating Nuclear Transients From Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extragalactic nuclear transients that exhibit repeating outbursts can be modeled as the repeated dynamical interaction between bound stars and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). A subset of these transients, with recurrence timescales of months‐to‐years, have been explained as accretion flares from the repeated tidal stripping of a star by an ...

Batteries &Supercaps, EarlyView.On a digitized laboratory extruder, discrete element method modelling is studied, considering two classes of particles representing aggregates of 1) active material and 2) binder and carbon material is studied. Various extrusion scenarios leading to the formation of filaments devoted to the 3D printing of lithium‐ion battery electrodes are studied. The

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Aims Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) and pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models were developed to support clinical development of nemolizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the IL‐31 receptor α, in adolescents and adults with moderate‐to‐severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
