Robust Localization in Distributed MIMO Radar Using Delay and Angle Measurements with Impulsive Noise Robust TD/AOA Localization in Impulsive Noise by Genling Huang, Yanlong Zhu

“…Firstly, the TD and AOA measurement equations are established in the presence of zero-mean symmetric α-stable noise; then, the localization problem is transformed to a ℓp-norm minimization problem by linearizing the measurement equations; and finally, the ℓp-norm minimization problem is solved using IRLS by which the target position estimate is obtained, and the optimal choice of norm order p is deduced. …”

Cruising for Parking with Autonomous and Conventional Vehicles by Mehdi Nourinejad, Matthew J. Roorda

“…We show that (i) CVs park closer to the downtown zone in order to minimize their walking distance, whereas AVs park farther away from the downtown zone to minimize their parking search time, (ii) AVs experience a lower search time than CVs, and (iii) higher AV penetration rates reduce travel costs for both AVs and CVs.…”

Computational Reconstruction of the Volatility Term Structure in the General Hull–White Model by Slavi G. Georgiev, Lubin G. Vulkov

“…On the last time steps, before each maturity, the derivative price is decomposed in order to make the minimization problem analytically solvable. The procedure works fast since only scalar values are obtained on each minimization. …”

Simultaneous Planning of the Medium and Low Voltage Distribution Networks under Uncertainty: A Bi-Level Optimization Approach by Abdollah Rastgou, Saman Hosseini-Hemati

“…Therefore, this study has tried to do integrated planning in the form of a bi-level model in the presence of different types of distributed generations (DGs) and consider the uncertainties of renewable sources and load demand in both MV and LV networks so that the planning and operation costs are minimized. In the proposed bi-level model, the upper-level section aims to minimize the investment and the operation cost of the MV network, and the lower-level problem minimizes the investment and the operation cost of the LV network considering the DGs and pollution emission. …”

Reflected entropy in random tensor networks. Part III. Triway cuts by Chris Akers, Thomas Faulkner, Simon Lin, Pratik Rath

“…Abstract For general random tensor network states at large bond dimension, we prove that the integer Rényi reflected entropies (away from phase transitions) are determined by minimal triway cuts through the network. This generalizes the minimal cut description of bipartite entanglement for these states. …”

Intra-articular corticosteroids for treatment of temporomandibular joint internal disorders: protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis by Aurelio Tobias, Daniela Torres, Carlos Zaror, Verónica Iturriaga

“…There are several studies on minimally invasive therapy for internal TMJ disorders; however, none compares the effectiveness of the different intra-articular corticosteroids to each other.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the different intra-articular corticosteroids for the treatment of internal disorders of the TMJ and compare them to each other or to other minimally invasive therapies.Methods and analysis A systematic search will be carried out up to December 2019 in the electronic databases: Medline, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, SCOPUS and LILACS.Randomised clinical trials evaluating patients with internal disorders of the TMJ, with intra-articular corticosteroid therapy and comparing these to each other and/or to other minimally invasive therapy will be included. …”
