This paper presents a radar target identification of a coated object. Based on the singularity expansion method, poles extracted from the received backscattering signal by using a short-time matrix pencil method were used as the object's signatures for identification. Simulation examples were illustrated in order to study on identification of a coated object. The antenna effect was taken into account and then mitigated by using a calibration technique. In simulations, the PEC sphere object was coated with dielectrics whose thickness was varied in order to investigate the behavior of extracted pole and the commencements of the late-time response of each object's layer. Simulation results showed that extracted poles obtained from the use of a short-time matrix pencil method can identify the PEC object coated with the dielectrics.

Solving Lur'e equations plays a critical role in addressing linear-quadratic optimal control (LQOC) problems, especially in cases where the control cost matrices are singular. This paper introduces, for the first time, two novel zeroing neural network (ZNN) models—ZNNLE and ZNNLE-LQOC—specifically designed to solve the Lur'e equation system and the LQOC problem, respectively. The proposed models extend the applicability of the ZNN methodology to these challenging scenarios by offering robust and efficient solutions to time-varying matrix equations. Theoretical analyses confirm the validity of both models, while numerical simulations and practical applications demonstrate their effectiveness. Moreover, a comparative study with an enhanced alternating-direction implicit (ADI) method highlights the superior performance of the ZNNLE-LQOC model in solving LQOC problems.
Supervised learning algorithms are nowadays successfully scaling up to datasets that are very large in volume, leveraging the potential of in-memory cluster-computing Big Data frameworks. Still, massive datasets with ...

Over 50% of the world population is at risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Female Ae. aegypti mosquito species transmit Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya. The spread of these diseases correlate positively with the vector population, and this population depends on biotic and abiotic environmental factors including temperature, vegetation condition, humidity and precipitation. To combat virus outbreaks, information about vector population is required. To this aim, Earth observation (EO) data provide fast, efficient and economically viable means to estimate environmental features of interest. In this work, we present a temporal distribution model for adult female Ae. aegypti mosquitoes based on the joint use of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, the Normalized Difference Water Index, the Land Surface Temperature (both at day and night time), along with the precipitation information, extracted from EO data. The model was applied separately to data obtained during three different vector control and field data collection condition regimes, and used to explain the differences in environmental variable contributions across these regimes. To this aim, a random forest (RF) regression technique and its nonlinear features importance ranking based on mean decrease impurity (MDI) were implemented. To prove the robustness of the proposed model, other machine learning techniques, including support vector regression, decision trees and k-nearest neighbor regression, as well as artificial neural networks, and statistical models such as the linear regression model and generalized linear model were also considered. Our results show that machine learning techniques perform better than linear statistical models for the task at hand, and RF performs best. By ranking the importance of all features based on MDI in RF and selecting the subset comprising the most informative ones, a more parsimonious but equally effective and explainable model can be obtained. Moreover, the results can be e

An accurate and computationally efficient model for the deformation of brain tissue is very important in virtual neurosurgical simulation. In this paper, we introduced a new Finite Element Method(FEM) model, which is based on optimization implicit Euler method, for brain tissue deformation. Specifically, both the anisotropic and viscoelastic properties of brain tissue are incorporated into the model, providing more realistic and accurate description of the mechanical features of brain tissue. In the meantime, the model is particularly suitable for GPU-based computing, making it possible to achieve real-time performance for neurosurgical simulation. Simulation results show that the deformation model exhibits the behaviors of anisotropy and viscoelasticity. The proposed model was implemented on a neurosurgical simulator and it showed that the deformation of brain tissue can be rendered with a relatively high degree of visual realism at a refreshment rate of 23 frames per second in a normal PC.

Abstract--In this paper, we discuss how to develop an appropriate collision avoidance strategy for car-following. This strategy aims to keep a good balance between traffic safety and efficiency while also taking into consideration the unavoidable uncertainty of position/speed perception/measurement of vehicles and other drivers. Both theoretical analysis and numerical testing results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Index Terms--Collision avoidance, safety, traffic efficiency, uncertainty.
