Zonotopic Polynomial Set-Membership Fusion Estimation for Nonlinear Systems via Carleman Approximation: An Encoding-Decoding Scheme See

In this paper, the zonotopic set-membership estimation (SME) problem is addressed for a class of nonlinear systems subjected to an encoding-decoding scheme, where the measurement information of each sensor is encoded and then transmitted to the remote fusion center. The objective of thi...

Understanding Target-Specific Effects of Antidepressant Drug Pollution on Molluscs: A Systematic Review Report See

Antidepressant drugs (ADDs) are one of the most widely prescribed pharmaceuticals globally and are widely detected in the environment. They are designed to target monoamine neurotransmission—a highly conserved pathway between humans and animal species. Monoamines are particularly involved in the ...

Five Ways the Metaverse Could be Revolutionary for People with Disabilities See

The invention of the world wide web in 1989 eventually brought about life-changing tools for everyone who can access it. Some of these tools, such as online banking, shopping and communication, have vastly improved the accessibility of daily life for people with disabilities, as&#x...

EnVisionVR: A Scene Interpretation Tool for Visual Accessibility in Virtual Reality See

Effective visual accessibility in Virtual Reality (VR) is crucial for Blind and Low Vision (BLV) users. However, designing visual accessibility systems is challenging due to the complexity of 3D VR environments and the need for techniques that can be easily retrofitted into existing...

Still whitewashing Britain: race, class and the UK citizenship test See

This article argues that the UK citizenship test promotes an exclusionary vision of Britishness which is both classed and racialized. Reflecting on a longer trajectory of British nationality and citizenship policy-making since 1948, I argue that the citizenship test must be situated wit...

A novel multi-scale quadratic convolutional network for bearing fault diagnosis: Handling noisy conditions See

Despite recent advances in deep learning-based fault diagnosis, it is challenging to build a reliable fault diagnosis model for rolling bearings under noisy conditions. Rolling bearing vibration signals are frequently corrupted by various types of noises, which poses significant challenges for&#x...
