Estimating BMI distributions by age and sex for local authorities in England: a small area estimation study by Peter Scarborough, Ben Amies-Cull, Linda Cobiac, Jane Wolstenholme

“…Objectives Rates of overweight and obesity vary across England, but local rates have not been estimated for over 10 years. We aimed to produce new small area estimates of body mass index (BMI) by age and sex for each lower tier and unitary local authority in England, to provide up-to-date and more detailed estimates for the use of policy-makers and academics working in non-communicable disease risk and health inequalities.Design We used generalised linear modelling to estimate the relationship between BMI with social/demographic markers in a cross-sectional survey, then used this model to impute a BMI for each adult in locally-representative populations. …”

Observer-Based H∞ Fuzzy Synchronization and Output Tracking Control of Time-Varying Delayed Chaotic Systems by Kuan-Yi Lin, Tung-Sheng Chiang, Chian-Song Chiu, Wen-Fong Hu, Peter Liu

“…Finally, using Lyapunov’s stability approach, the results are sufficient conditions represented as LMIs (linear matrix inequalities). The contributions of the method proposed are threefold: (i) systemic and unified problem formulation of master-slave synchronization and tracking control for both discrete and continuous chaotic systems; (ii) practical consideration of time-varying delay, immeasurable state, different antecedent variables (of plant, observer, and controller), and disturbance in the control problem; and (iii) sufficient conditions from Lyapunov’s stability analysis represented as LMIs which are numerically solvable observer and controller gains from LMIs. …”

Applying the language acquisition model to the solution small language processing tasks by Dz. I. Kachkou

“…The relevance of this task is due to the following considerations: the need to eliminate the information inequality between speakers of different languages; the need for new tools for the study of poorly understood languages, as well as innovative approaches to language modeling in the low-resource context; the problem of supporting and developing small languages.There are three main objectives in solving the problem of small natural language processing at the stage of describing the problem situation: to justify the problem of modeling language in the context of resource scarcity as a special task in the field of natural languages processing, to review the literature on the relevant topic, to develop the concept of language acquisition model with a relatively small number of available resources. …”
