Smoothed analysis of belief propagation and minimum-cost flow algorithms [PDF]
, 2016 Algorithms that have good worst-case performance are not always the ones that perform best in practice. The smoothed analysis framework is a way of analyzing algorithms that usually matches practical performance of these algorithms much better than worst-

Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Short‐Term Functional Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can accumulate functional status (FS) impairment. We evaluated the association between neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, as measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and FS in a national SLE sample.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Race and household income impact outcomes in patients with rheumatic conditions; however, their role in pediatric antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) remains poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate whether race and ethnicity and household income are associated with severe AAV disease and renal outcomes among

Custom Bus optimization of docking stations based on partition path selection
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017 The Custom Bus has advantages on punctuality, direct arrival, and economic benefits. It has a good effect on attracting passengers from private cars commuting in city. Due to the unscientific docking stations, the Custom Bus is always ineffective.

A survey on exact algorithms for the maximum flow and minimum-cost flow problems [PDF]
, 2023 Network flow problems form an important and much‐studied family of combinatorial optimization problems, with a huge array of practical applications. Two network flow problems in particular have received a great deal of attention: the maximum flow and ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a reversible temperature sensor with high switching ratio, ∼103. The device is fabricated using PET‐ITO and carbon nanotube dispersions in alkane. Considering its application in cold chain logistics, a proof‐of‐concept with LED is showcased. Thus, a temperature drop below the threshold temperature (crystallization temperature of the
