Soil Nail Design Optimization Through Adaptive Slope Stability Analysis Using Improved Limit Equilibrium Method

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Design optimization for automatically generating optimal design results is a promising technique for enhancing the efficiency of design processes and outcomes. However, its development for soil nail reinforced slopes is limited since the traditional slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method (LEM) becomes relatively time ...

Quantum Key Distribution using Continuous-variable non-Gaussian States

, 2015
In this work we present a quantum key distribution protocol using continuous-variable non-Gaussian states, homodyne detection and post-selection. The employed signal states are the Photon Added then Subtracted Coherent States (PASCS) in which one photon ...

Blinking Optical Tweezers for Atom Rearrangements

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
The work introduces an energy‐efficient method for holding and rearranging an N ×$\times$ M array of atoms using only N optical tweezers, using just 1M of the optical power per atom. In the proof‐of‐concept experiments, single blinking tweezer holds M = 9 atoms and further facilitates rearrangement M = 4 ∼$\sim$ 5 atoms in various configurations ...

Uncertainty Quantification in Planning Aircraft Ground Movement Operations With Towbarless Robotic Tractors

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article addresses the problem of quantifying the uncertainty in planning aircraft ground movement operations using towbarless robotic tractors taking into account the inherent uncertainties of the problem, specifically, the uncertainties in the weight of the aircraft and in the rolling resistance of the wheels of the main landing gear ...

Gaussian Filtering Using a Spherical-Radial Double Exponential Cubature

IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing
Gaussian filters use quadrature rules or cubature rules to recursively solve Gaussian-weighted integrals. Classical and contemporary methods use stable rules with a minimal number of cubature points to achieve the highest accuracy. Gaussian quadrature is

From tetrachoric to kappa: How to assess reliability on binary scales

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliability is crucial in psychometrics, reflecting the extent to which a measurement instrument can discriminate between individuals or items. While classical test theory and intraclass correlation coefficients are well‐established for quantitative scales, estimating reliability for binary outcomes presents unique challenges due to their ...

Graphical Framework for Non-Gaussian Quantum States [PDF]

Quantum
We provide a graphical method to describe and analyze non-Gaussian quantum states using a hypergraph framework. These states are pivotal resources for quantum computing, communication, and metrology, but their characterization is hindered by their ...

Quantification of airfoil geometry-induced aerodynamic uncertainties - comparison of approaches

, 2016
Uncertainty quantification in aerodynamic simulations calls for efficient numerical methods since it is computationally expensive, especially for the uncertainties caused by random geometry variations which involve a large number of variables. This paper
