Population-based studies of headache disorders are important. They inform needs assessment and underpin service policy for a set of disorders that are a public-health priority. On the one hand, our knowledge of the global ...

Several recent studies have shown that many scientific results cannot be trusted. While the “reproducibility crisis” was first recognised in psychology, the problem affects most if not all branches of science. This essay ...

Recent works reveal that re-calibrating intermediate activation of adversarial examples can improve the adversarial robustness of CNN models. The state of the arts exploit this feature at the channel level to help CNN ...

Automated transport systems are deployed in many areas and transport modes. The predominant engineering perspective has been to automate as much as possible and minimize human interaction. However, a balanced integration ...

This letter proposes a computationally efficient algorithm for robust multistage scenario model predictive control (MPC). In multistage scenario MPC, the evolution of uncertainty in the prediction horizon is represented ...

The DC-side dynamics of Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs) can be prone to poorly damped oscillations or stability problems when the second harmonic components of the arm currents are mitigated by a Circulating Current ...

The majority of spatial processing techniques rely heavily on the idea of approximating each group of spatial objects by their minimum bounding box (MBB). As each MBB is compact to store (requiring only two multi-dimensional ...

Magnesium and its alloys have been widely studied as materials for temporary implant devices. However, corrosion-assisted cracking phenomena such as stress corrosion cracking (SCC) continue to prevent their mainstream use. ...

Real-Time Calculus (RTC) is a framework for modeling and performance analysis of real-time networked systems. In RTC, workload and resources are modeled as arrival and service curves, and processing semantics are modeled ...

Although previously developed mesoscopic DNA models have successfully reproduced thermodynamic denaturation data, recent studies show that these overestimate the rate of denaturation by orders of magnitude. Using adapted ...
