Trajectory Tracking of Autonomous Ground Vehicles with Actuator Dead Zones by Pengfei Zhang, Qiyuan Chen, Tingting Yang

“…First, a novel time-varying yaw guidance law is proposed based on the line of sight method. By a state transformation, the AGV is proved to realize trajectory tracking control under the premise of eliminating guidance deviation. …”

« Débarrasser la société de femme[s] de ce genre-là ». Appréhender les archives judiciaires au prisme du genre pour enquêter sur les féminicides by Margot Giacinti

“…Thus, the paper examines what might have prevented such a reading by looking at the practices of the actors involved in the judicial investigation, and by studying three — at first sight very different — cases in which the victim is a woman. …”

De l'expression du point de vue à l'anticipation textuelle : le rôle de à première vue by Véronique Lenepveu

“…We propose a semantic and pragmatic analysis of the french locution à première vue (lit. “at first sight”) when it indicates a point of view (in the sense of Nølke, 1994) and plays a role in textual structuration (Charolles, 1997). …”

Optimal Look-Angle Guidance with Field-of-View and Impact Angle Constraints for Strapdown Munition by Peng Wang, Jun-fang Fan, Shi-wei Chen, Hai-sen Wang, Wei Wang

“…However, the inherent defect of the strapdown seeker is that it could not provide the necessary line-of-sight (LOS) angular information for typical guidance application. …”

“There she was, looking at me with those eyes of her”: l’animal mis en regard dans le théâtre d’Edward Albee by Valentine Vasak

“…In the plays under study, these encounters, be they confrontational or lustful, enable the male characters to assert their predatory masculinity by “catching sight” of these figures of the other. Indeed, as the often feminized beasts remain offstage, or are even sacrificed in a gruesome reenactment of the tragic goat song, the audience is led to question the boundaries between species, speeches, gender and genre.…”

Human Genetics of Diabetic Retinopathy: Current Perspectives by Daniel P. K. Ng

“…Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a most severe microvascular complication which, if left unchecked, can be sight-threatening. With the global prevalence of diabetes being relentlessly projected to rise to 438 million subjects by 2030, DR will undoubtedly pose a major public health concern. …”

Time-Varying Biased Proportional Guidance with Seeker’s Field-of-View Limit by Zhe Yang, Hui Wang, Defu Lin

“…A time-varying biased proportional guidance law, which only uses line-of-sight (LOS) rate and look angle information, is proposed to satisfy both impact angle constraint and seeker’s field-of-view (FOV) limit. …”

Amplify-and-Forward Cooperative Diversity for Green UWB-Based WBSNs by Heba Shaban, Mohamad Abou El-Nasr

“…Results show that one relay node provides ~23 dB performance enhancement at BER, which mitigates the effect of the nondesirable non-line-of-sight (NLOS) links in WBSNs.…”

A Novel Mining Approach for Data Analysis and Processing Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by Ali Alenezi, Ahmad Sawalmeh, Hazim Shakhatreh, Muhannad Almutiry, Nasser Aedh Alreshidi

“…In this work, the pathloss models in millimeter-wave technology are considered because they provide massive data rates for line of sight scenarios. The optimization problem of identifying a 3D location and trajectory of the UAV relay node is formulated to maximize the total team members’ data rate. …”

SOCIAL ASPECT OF SUPPORT OF SMALL BUSINESS AND PROBLEMS OF MIGRATION IN GERMANY by V. A. Onuchak

“…The flow of refugees in Germany is a political migration at which the flow of migrants increases load of the budget due to payments of social benefits. At first sight, apparently, the existing privileges and incentives of creation of small and medium-sized enterprises (MSP) rather big and that problems inemployment of such number of migrants shouldn't be. …”

Pantropical Jumping Spiders in Florida by Glavis B. Edwards, Jr.

“… Jumping spiders, or salticids, are so named because they have a highly coordinated jumping ability with which they capture prey and traverse from plant to plant. Their sense of sight is extraordinary for invertebrates; they can see in color (DeVoe 1975), and the large front eyes focus on objects (Land 1972). …”

AGN Obscuration and the Unified Model by Stefano Bianchi, Roberto Maiolino, Guido Risaliti

“…Unification Models of Active Galactic Nuclei postulate that all the observed differences between type 1 and type 2 objects are due to orientation effects with respect to the line of sight to the observer. The key ingredient of these models is the obscuring medium, historically envisaged as a toroidal structure on a parsec scale. …”
