ABSTRACT Platform companies like Uber and Airbnb are depicted as agile policy entrepreneurs who can navigate the boundaries of regulatory frameworks and manipulate regulations to their advantage; however, recent empirical studies suggest that their capacity to influence policy depends on the particular political and institutional context.

Improved LiDAR Localization Method for Mobile Robots Based on Multi-Sensing
In this paper, we propose a localization method applicable to 3D LiDAR by improving the LiDAR localization algorithm, such as AMCL (Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization).

$Z^{d}$-odometers and cohomology
Cohomology for actions of free abelian groups on the Cantor set has (when endowed with an order structure) provided a complete invariance for orbit equivalence. In this paper, we study a particular class of actions of such groups called odometers (or profinite actions) and investigate their cohomology. We show that for a free, minimal $\Z^{d}$-odometer,

Abstract Physical exercise promotes brain health and cognitive function possibly through mechanisms that include strengthened resistance to oxidative stress. However, limited research has explored the cumulative effects of regular voluntary exercise on both oxidative stress and defence mechanisms in hippocampus and cortex, two regions essential for ...

Constant-length substitutions and countable scrambled sets
In this paper we provide examples of topological dynamical systems having either finite or countable scrambled sets. In particular we study conditions for the existence of Li-Yorke, asymptotic and distal pairs in constant--length substitution dynamical ...

Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.

Ammonia Observations Over Large North American Cities
Abstract Ammonia (NH3) contributes to fine particle formation and nitrogen deposition. Observations of NH3 are limited compared to other major anthropogenic pollutants. Here, we explore the relationships between NH3 and other urban pollutants using measurements collected from the NASA DC‐8 aircraft during the Atmospheric Emissions and Reactions ...

Straightness Measurement Based on FOG-IMU and Shearer Motion Constraints for Longwall Coal Mining
Straightness measurements of fully mechanized coal faces are a core requirement for intelligent, comprehensive coal mining. In coal mining, using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) assisted by an odometer for straightness measurement is vital for ...

A compact lightweight multipurpose ground-penetrating radar for glaciological applications
We describe a compact lightweight impulse radar for radio-echo sounding of subsurface structures designed specifically for glaciological applications. The radar operates at frequencies between 10 and 75 MHz.

Assessing tree root distributions using ground‐penetrating radar and machine learning algorithms
Abstract Tree cultivation provides food, raw materials, carbon sequestration, and many other ecosystem services. Developing innovative approaches for tree analysis to help optimize their management is crucial. Cherry trees provide numerous health and economic benefits, with Michigan home to 75% of the cherry trees grown in the United States.
