A Cascaded Strategy With Embodied Artificial Intelligence: Forward Kinematics Solutions for CCRobot‐S

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel cable‐climbing mechanism: the Collaborative Climbing Robot Squad (CCRobot‐S), a variant of Reconfigurable Cable‐Driven Parallel Robots (R‐CDPR), specifically designed for the inspection and maintenance of stay cables.

On an Aggregation Theory for Indicators Expressing Behaviors of Complex Systems With an Application to Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain attributes of large‐scale complex systems are often expressed through sets of indicators. For example, the sustainability of an entity, be it a nation, a city, an energy system, a corporation etc., can be effectively represented by indicators and corresponding data series.

Enhancing generalized spectral clustering with embedding Laplacian graph regularization

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract An enhanced generalised spectral clustering framework that addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating the Laplacian graph and group effect into a regularisation term is presented. By doing so, the framework significantly enhances discrimination power and proves highly effective in handling noisy data.

Optimising Wave Energy Plant Location Through Neutrosophic Multi‐Criteria Group Decision‐Making

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global shift towards sustainable energy has intensified research into renewable sources, particularly wave energy. Pakistan, with its long coastline, holds significant potential for wave energy development. However, identifying optimal locations for wave energy plants involves evaluating complex, multi‐faceted criteria.

A Universal Meta‐Heuristic Framework for Influence Maximisation in Hypergraphs

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Influence maximisation (IM) aims to select a small number of nodes that are able to maximise their influence in a network and covers a wide range of applications. Despite numerous attempts to provide effective solutions in simple networks, higher‐order interactions between entities in various real‐world systems are usually not taken into ...

An Improved Fast Computational Method for Vibration Characteristic Analysis of Dry‐Type Iron Core Reactor

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structural mechanics field simulation plays a critical role in the vibration characteristic analysis of electrical equipment. Existing structural field analysis of equipment based on numerical simulation faces challenges such as convergence difficulties and prolonged computational time, failing to meet the demand for real‐time prediction of ...

Food, Affluence and the Consumption Basket*

Economic Papers: A journal of applied economics and policy, EarlyView.
There are significant disparities across nations in incomes and spending. For example, consumers in the poorest countries spend more than half of their income on food, while in the richest, this is one‐tenth or less. We use data from the International Comparison Program for 176 countries to estimate cross‐country demand equations focusing on food and ...

Mathematics anxiety: Effects of age, gender and culture

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Many studies have indicated that mathematics anxiety is a significant problem for many people and is an important topic for research. Mathematics anxiety is multidimensional. In particular, it is important to distinguish between worry and emotionality components, and between trait and state anxiety.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Disentangling mechanisms that mediate soil fungal α and β diversity during forest secondary succession

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity is a central, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology. Although species pools and local assembly processes are believed to play non‐negligible roles in shaping the within‐community (α) and among‐community (β) diversity of microbial communities, their relative importance as ...
