Toward a Framework for Understanding Localization in Its Institutional Context: A Systems Perspective for Incorporating Local Values

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores how we might integrate local traditional values into a systems approach for analyzing and maximizing localization in the context of foreign aid. The paper situates localization and its operationalization in the older and broader literature on the political economy of foreign aid.

Improving convection‐permitting all‐sky infrared radiance ensemble data assimilation through mitigating deleterious non‐Gaussian artifacts

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Ensemble Kalman filters (EnKFs) with quality control (QC) are commonly used in the data assimilation (DA) of all‐sky satellite‐sensed infrared radiance (IR) observations. However, the statistical assumptions underlying EnKFs and QC are violated in such DA.

Ensemble Kalman filter in latent space using a variational autoencoder pair

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The use of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) in strongly nonlinear or constrained atmospheric, oceanographic, or sea‐ice models can be challenging. Applying the EnKF in the latent space of a variational autoencoder (VAE) ensures that the ensemble members satisfy the balances and constraints present in the model.

Risk Times in Mission‐Oriented Systems

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article assesses risk times in mission‐oriented systems with high safety standards. We examine critical times under two safety policies. The first requires that the system's reliability function, known the first failure of the components, must exceed a reliability level throughout the mission.

Multi‐Objective Robust Controller Synthesis With Integral Quadratic Constraints in Discrete‐Time

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents a novel framework for the robust controller synthesis problem in discrete‐time systems using dynamic Integral Quadratic Constraints (IQCs). We present an algorithm to minimize closed‐loop performance measures such as the ℋ∞$$ {\mathscr{H}}_{\infty } $$‐norm, the energy‐to‐peak gain, the peak‐to‐peak gain, or a ...
