A General Scheme of a Branch-and-Bound Approach for the Sensor Selection Problem in Near-Field Broadband Beamforming

Sensors
This paper is devoted to the sensor selection problem. A broadband receiver beamforming working in a near-field is considered. The system response should be as close as possible to the desired one, which is optimized in the sense of L2 norm.

Audit Risk Disclosures, Targeted Inspections, and Audit Quality Information obligatoire sur les risques d'audit, inspections ciblées et qualité des audits

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article studies how the mandatory disclosure of audit risk and targeted regulatory inspections influence audit quality. We develop a model in which the auditor tests a firm's internal control over financial reporting before auditing the financial report and must issue an opinion on both.

Competitive diplomacy in bargaining and war

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract War is often viewed as a bargaining problem. However, prior to bargaining, countries can vie for leverage by expending effort on diplomacy. This article presents a dynamic model of conflict where agenda‐setting power is endogenous to pre‐bargaining diplomatic competition.

How FDI reshapes host markets’ trade profile and politics

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A fast‐growing literature indicates that firms’ engagement in foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade is key to understanding deepening global value chains and their political implications. However, existing studies have mainly focused on the ramifications for FDI home countries while often overlooking the firm‐product level interactions ...

Police department design, political pressure, and racial inequality in arrests

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper theorizes a source of bias in discretionary arrests: strategic limits on police officer learning. Officers have a variety of tactics at their disposal besides arrest that they use for less serious offenses when they judge the underlying behavior to be less severe. In departments led by a chief with special expertise in crime control,

Practically Efficient Blind Speech Separation Using Frequency Band Selection Based on Magnitude Squared Coherence and a Small Dodecahedral Microphone Array

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2012
Small agglomerative microphone array systems have been proposed for use with speech communication and recognition systems. Blind source separation methods based on frequency domain independent component analysis have shown significant separation ...

Enhancing creative writing with robot–LLM integration: The interplay of embodiment, AI creativity and user engagement

British Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the impact of robot–LLM (Large Language Model) integration on collaborative creative writing, focusing on how embodiment and AI creativity influence various aspects of creative output. A total of 150 undergraduate students participated in a structured experimental design with five collaboration conditions: Human–Human (HH),

Multiple Source Localization Based on Acoustic Map De-Emphasis

EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2010
This paper describes a novel approach for localization of multiple sources overlapping in time. The proposed algorithm relies on acoustic maps computed in multi-microphone settings, which are descriptions of the distribution of the acoustic activity in ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership
