Outracing a National Level Model Racing Car Champion: A Hybrid Model‐Based Data‐Driven Approach
ABSTRACT This paper discusses lap time optimization, focusing on a single lap without considering opponents in autonomous racing. The paper presents a control and optimization architecture composed of a model‐based low level controller and a higher level iterative learning algorithm with the goal of obtaining the fastest qualifying lap in autonomous ...

Scaling limit of a self-avoiding walk interacting with spatial random permutations [PDF]
We consider nearest neighbour spatial random permutations on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. In this case, the energy of the system is proportional the sum of all cycle lengths, and the system can be interpreted as an ensemble of edge-weighted, mutually self-avoiding ...

Misled by Betz and unsteady flow – review on turbine arrays falsely deemed ‘optimal’ [PDF]
A turbine array is an adjustable flow resistance R placed in a tidal channel. Ideally, it is designed and operated to maximise energy yield. Garrett & Cummins (2005), using optimal control theory applied to the RCelement channel (R) and basin (C), showed:

ABSTRACT This study proposes a multidimensional framework to integrate Business Process Management (BPM) with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), addressing gaps in research and practice. Through a bibliometric science mapping using keyword co‐occurrence network analysis in VOSviewer (Scopus 2015–2024), we identify five thematic clusters ...

Hot Injection Synthesis of Ultrathin Bi2Se3 Nanosheets With Controllable Dimensions
Graphic of hot‐injection method for synthesizing Bi2Se3${\rm Bi}_2{\rm Se}_3$ nanoplatelets of controlled shape, thickness, and lateral size. The ultra‐thin regime is achievable, which is interesting for studying topological phase transitions. ABSTRACT In this work, a synthesis method for colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) of the topological insulator ...

Teaching socio‐communicative behaviours in play routines with caregivers: A feasibility study
Abstract The first signs of autism often become evident as early as before a child's first birthday, and very early intervention is key to securing optimal outcomes. In the present study, two mother–child dyads participated, with mothers being trained in behavioural strategies targeting socio‐communicative behaviours in their children, who were high ...

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not
