Nonfragile Distributed Fusion Filtering for Time-Varying Systems With Sensor Saturations: A Decode-and-Forward Relay-Aided Approach See

In this article, the problem of distributed fusion filtering (DFF) has been studied for discrete-time, time-varying systems affected by sensor saturations, packet losses, and stochastic gain perturbations. The transmission process between sensors and remote filters is carried out via relay channe...

Approximating Signed Distance Fields With Sparse Ellipsoidal Radial Basis Function Networks: A Dynamic Multi-Objective Optimization Strategy See

In this paper, a general learning method is proposed for approximating precomputed signed distance function (SDF) fields of implicit surfaces using a relatively small number of ellipsoidal radial basis functions (ERBFs). The SDF values may be obtained from various sources, including point&#x...

Just deserts: Do students deserve a safe learning environment? See

This conceptual paper critically analyses the notion of safe learning environments in the context of the introduction of a safe learning environment charter within the National Health Service in England. The experience of nursing students within complex ecologies of practice learning is ...

“How can we help our children if no one’s helping us?”: Parent and clinician priorities for mental health support in children with rare genetic conditions who have intellectual and developmental disabilities – a framework analysis See

Background: Next-generation sequencing technologies are now routinely used in the NHS to identify rare genetic conditions (RGCs) in children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs). As such, the proportion of children diagnosed in early childhood (<6 years) is rising rapidly....

System-size dependence of charged-particle suppression in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions See

High-energy partons lose energy while propagating through the hot, strongly interacting medium produced in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, leading to a suppression of particle production at high transverse momentum (⁢𝑝_T). The dependence of this energy loss on the size&...

Search for Higgs boson production at high transverse momentum in the WW decay channel in proton-proton collisions at √𝑠 = 13  TeV See

A search for Higgs boson (H) production at high transverse momentum (pT) in the WW decay channel is presented. The analysis uses proton-proton collisions at √𝑠 = 13  TeV recorded by the CMS experiment in 2016–2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb⁻¹. The vi...

Observation of the Jet Diffusion Wake Using Dijets in Heavy-Ion Collisions See

Energetic quarks and gluons traversing a hot and dense quark-gluon plasma deposit energy and momentum into the medium before hadronizing to collimated sprays of particles, known as jets. This energy-momentum deposition is expected to produce medium responses, collectively known as jet wakes,...

Evidence of of 𝑍⁢𝑍⁢𝛾 Production and Observation of 4⁢ℓ⁢𝛾 in Proton-Proton Collisions at √𝑠 = 13  TeV See

Evidence of the production of two 𝑍 bosons and a photon in proton-proton collisions is reported for the first time in CMS. The analysis uses data collected by the CMS experiment between 2016 and 2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated&#x...

Search for Associated Production of a Higgs Boson and Two Vector Bosons via Vector-Boson Scattering at √𝑠 = 13  TeV See

A search for Higgs boson (𝐻) production in association with two vector bosons (𝑉 = 𝑊, 𝑍) via vector-boson scattering (VBS) is presented using proton-proton collision data collected at √𝑠 = 13  TeV by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb⁻¹. E...
