Nonlinear programming-based ranging optimization for three-dimensional indoor time of arrival localization by Jian Sun, Yongling Fu, Jie He, Shengguang Li, Jian Fu

“…Then, time of arrival ranging error model and geometric constraints are used to define the initial values, objective functions, and constraints of nonlinear programming, as well as to detect line of sight and nonline of sight. A three-dimensional localization algorithm of an indoor time of arrival–based positioning is proposed based on least square and the optimization algorithm. …”

Statistical Modeling of Ultrawideband Body-Centric Wireless Channels Considering Room Volume by Miyuki Hirose, Hironobu Yamamoto, Takehiko Kobayashi

“…A measured delay profile can be divided into two domains; in the first domain (0<t≤4 ns) there is either a direct (for line of sight) or diffracted (for nonline of sight) wave which is dependent on the propagation distance along the perimeter of the body, but essentially unrelated to room volume, and the second domain (t>4 ns) has multipath components that are dominant and dependent on room volume. …”

An Initial Investigation of the Effects of a Fully Automated Vehicle Fleet on Geometric Design by John Khoury, Kamar Amine, Rima Abi Saad

“…This study focuses on the geometric design elements that will directly be affected by the replacement of the human driver with fully autonomous vehicles. Stopping sight distance, decision sight distance, and length of sag and crest vertical curves are geometric design elements directly affected by the projected change. …”

Register-Based Subject Omission in English and its Implication for the Syntax of Adjuncts by Liliane Haegeman

“…It is proposed that the observed argument/adjunct asymmetry observed in relation to subject omission comes about due to the fact that what at first sight appear to be sentence-initial adjuncts are in fact inserted in a structural position below the canonical subject position which hosts the deleted subject. …”
