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 ...

Surface Emissions Modulate Indoor SVOC Concentrations through Volatility-Dependent Partitioning. [PDF]

, 2020
Measurements by semivolatile thermal desorption aerosol gas chromatography (SV-TAG) were used to investigate how semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) partition among indoor reservoirs in (1) a manufactured test house under controlled conditions ...

Assessment of Gold‐Mediated Male Reproductive Dysfunction in Male WISTAR Rats Through Sperm Analysis and Testosterone Measurement

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gold has been used for centuries in both ornamental and medicinal contexts. More recently, gold compounds, containing ions or nanoparticles, have attracted attention for their anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and diagnostic applications. Therefore, concerns about systemic toxicity and biodistribution have prompted investigations into the ...

Transport study of charged current interactions in neutrino-nucleus reactions [PDF]

, 2006
Within a dynamical transport approach we investigate charged current interactions in neutrino-nucleus reactions for neutrino energies of 0.3 - 1.5 GeV with particular emphasis on resonant pion production channels via the $\Delta_{33}(1232)$ resonance ...

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

Sphingoid bases of dietary ceramide 2-aminoethylphosphonate, a marine sphingolipid, absorb into lymph in rats

Journal of Lipid Research, 2019
Various functions of dietary sphingolipids have been reported; however, little is known about marine sphingolipids. Ceramide 2-aminoethylphosphonate (CAEP), an abundant sphingolipid in marine mollusks, frequently has a unique triene type of sphingoid ...

Optical Properties of TiN Thin Films close to the Superconductor-Insulator Transition

, 2009
We present the intrinsic optical properties over a broad spectral range of TiN thin films deposited on a Si/SiO$_2$ substrate. We analyze the measured reflectivity spectra of the film-substrate multilayer structure within a well-establish procedure based

Designing for Sustainability: Emerging Professional Roles and Capabilities for Designers in the 21st Century

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Design Practice is shifting towards transdisciplinary, collaborative and problem‐based approaches in response to complex challenges of a changing world including societal issues and the climate crisis. However, the nature of emerging roles for designers aiming to contribute to sustainability transitions, and the capabilities that empower ...

Duration of unassisted swimming activity for spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata) calves: implications for mother-calf separation during tuna purse-seine sets [PDF]

, 2006
Size-related differences in power production and swim speed duration may contribute to the observed deficit of nursing calves in relation to lactating females killed in sets by tuna purse-seiners in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP).

Creative Discretion on the Frontline of Public Services: A Longitudinal Qualitative Digital Diary and Interview Study

Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT “Creative discretion”—defined as street‐level bureaucrats' use of their discretion to generate novel and useful ideas for customizing services to meet the needs of service users, superiors, and themselves—is vital as governments shift from traditional public management to a more user‐centered approach, emphasizing responsiveness over ...
