Weighted average ensemble for Cholesky-based covariance matrix estimation by Xiaoning Kang, Zhenguo Gao, Xi Liang, Xinwei Deng

“…Our key idea is to obtain different weights for different candidate estimates by minimizing an appropriate risk function with respect to the Frobenius norm. Different from the existing ensemble estimation based on the MCD, the proposed method provides a sparse weighting scheme such that one can distinguish which variable orderings employed in the MCD are useful for the ensemble matrix estimate. …”

A Novel Attitude-Variable High Acceleration Motion Planning Method for the Pallet-Type Airport Baggage Handling Robot by Xuhao Wang, Jinwang Liu, Wei Zhang

“…Pallet-type end-effectors robots are widely used for airport baggage handling, because of their better adaptability to different types of baggage. A novel attitude-variable high acceleration motion planning method is presented for improving the handling efficiency, which is to move a pallet with non-fixed baggage as fast as possible under a given path, such that the baggage does not slip at any time. …”

Global change in the trophic functioning of marine food webs. by Aurore Maureaud, Didier Gascuel, Mathieu Colléter, Maria L D Palomares, Hubert Du Pontavice, Daniel Pauly, William W L Cheung

“…The development of fisheries in the oceans, and other human drivers such as climate warming, have led to changes in species abundance, assemblages, trophic interactions, and ultimately in the functioning of marine food webs. Here, using a trophodynamic approach and global databases of catches and life history traits of marine species, we tested the hypothesis that anthropogenic ecological impacts may have led to changes in the global parameters defining the transfers of biomass within the food web. …”

Integration of Routine Parameters of Glycemic Variability in a Simple Screening Method for Partial Remission in Children with Type 1 Diabetes by Nina Nielens, Olivier Pollé, Annie Robert, Philippe A. Lysy

“…With a threshold of 4.5, this alternative formula predicted partial remission with a sensitivity and a specificity of 72.3% and 92%, respectively, and yielded strong correlation with IDAA1C levels and BETA-2 score, which is a correlate of β-cell function after islet transplantation. We propose GTAA1C, based on routine and objective markers of glycemic variability, as a valid alternative for definition of partial remission in type 1 diabetes.…”
