Abstract: Infrastructure projects regularly experience cost and schedule overruns. Research led by Flyvbjerg has suggested that misrepresentation and optimism bias are primary causes for overruns.

Abstract: Despite over two decades of progress, imbalanced data is still considered a significant challenge for contemporary machine learning models. Modern advances in deep learning have further ...

Abstract: In this paper a voltage modulation method based on a triangular carrier wave for the three-phase four-leg voltage source converter is described. The four-leg converter can produce three ...

Abstract: For microgrids with photovoltaic (PV) prosumers, the effective energy sharing management (ESM) is important for the operation. In this paper, a Stackelberg game approach for ESM is proposed.

Abstract: This letter studies the problem of air-to-air visual detection of micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by monocular cameras. This problem is important for many applications such as ...

Abstract: A high-efficiency, high-power-density Sigma converter for a 48 V rack architecture in data centers is proposed in this paper. The Sigma converter is a quasi-parallel converter that uses a ...

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the specific emitter identification (SEI) problem, which distinguishes different emitters using features generated by the nonlinearity of the power amplifiers ...

Abstract: This article proposes a novel wireless power transfer (WPT) system with switch-controlled capacitor (SCC) where variable capacitance and efficiency optimization are realized. The optimum ...

Abstract: With urbanization, rising income and consumption, the production of waste increases. One of the most important directions in the field of sustainable development is the design and ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the adaptive trajectory tracking control for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) with an unknown dynamic model and the unmeasured states. Unlike most previous trajectory ...

Abstract: The finite-time output time-varying formation tracking (TVFT) problem for heterogeneous nonlinear multiagent system (MAS) is investigated in this article, where the dynamics of the agents ...

Abstract: This study concentrates on the tracking control problem for nonlinear systems subject to actuator saturation. To improve the performance of the controller, we propose a fixed-time tracking ...
