TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of age, gender and conformity tendency on Chinese pedestrians' intention to cross the road in potentially dangerous situations finds that people who showed greater tendencies towards social conformity had stronger road crossing intentions than low conformity people for both scenarios.

TL;DR: This paper represents an attempt to apply second-order cone programming, a branch of convex optimization, to the class of highly nonlinear trajectory optimization problems in entry flight with a combination of successive linearization and relaxation techniques.
Abstract: Convex optimization has found wide applications in recent years due to its unique theoretical advantages and the polynomial-time complexity of state-of-the-art solution algorithms for convex programming This paper represents an attempt to apply second-order cone programming, a branch of convex optimization, to the class of highly nonlinear trajectory optimization problems in entry flight The foremost challenge in applying convex optimization in most aerospace engineering problems lies in the nonlinearity and nonconvexity of the problem Exclusive reliance on linearization does not always work well, as is the case in entry trajectory optimization This paper focuses on how to formulate realistic, highly constrained entry trajectory optimization problems in a fashion suitable to be solved by second-order cone programming with a combination of successive linearization and relaxation techniques Rigorous analysis is conducted to support the soundness of the approach Numerical demonstrations are provided to

TL;DR: In this article, a simple principle is proposed to achieve anisotropic underwater oleophobicity by adjusting the hydrophilicity of surface composition and the anisotropically-wetting microtextures.
Abstract: Surfaces with anisotropic wettability, widely found in nature, have inspired the development of one-dimensional water control on surfaces relying on the well-arranged surface features. Controlling the wetting behavior of organic liquids, especially the motion of oil fluid on surfaces, is of great importance for a broad range of applications including oil transportation, oil-repellent coatings, and water/oil separation. However, anisotropic oil-wetting surfaces remain unexplored. Here, the unique skin of a filefish Navodon septentrionalis shows anisotropic oleophobicity under water. On the rough skin of N. septentrionalis, oil droplets tend to roll off in a head-to-tail direction, but pin in the opposite direction. This pronounced wetting anisotropy results from the oriented hook-like spines arrayed on the fish skin. It inspires further exploration of the artificial anisotropic underwater oleophobic surfaces: By mimicking the oriented hook-like microstructure on a polydimethylsiloxane layer via soft lithography and subsequent oxygen-plasma treatment to make the PDMS hydrophilic, artificial fish skin is fabricated which has similar anisotropic underwater oleophobicity. Drawn from the processing of artificial fish skin, a simple principle is proposed to achieve anisotropic underwater oleophobicity by adjusting the hydrophilicity of surface composition and the anisotropic microtextures. This principle can guide the simple mass manufacturing of various inexpensive high surface-energy materials, and the principle is demonstrated on commercial cloth corduroy. This study will profit broad applications involving low-energy, low-expense oil transportation, underwater oil collection, and oil-repellant coatings on ship hulls and oil pipelines.

TL;DR: The results show that the proposed sub-optimal solution achieves close-to-bound sum-rate performance, which is significantly better than that of time-division multiple access.
Abstract: In this paper, we explore non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communications (mm-wave-NOMA). In particular, we consider a typical problem, i.e., maximization of the sum rate of a 2-user mm-wave-NOMA system. In this problem, we need to find the beamforming vector to steer towards the two users simultaneously subject to an analog beamforming structure, while allocating appropriate power to them. As the problem is non-convex and may not be converted to a convex problem with simple manipulations, we propose a suboptimal solution to this problem. The basic idea is to decompose the original joint beamforming and power allocation problem into two sub-problems which are relatively easy to solve: one is a power and beam gain allocation problem, and the other is a beamforming problem under a constant-modulus constraint. Extension of the proposed solution from 2-user mm-wave-NOMA to more-user mm-wave-NOMA is also discussed. Extensive performance evaluations are conducted to verify the rational of the proposed solution, and the results also show that the proposed sub-optimal solution achieves close-to-bound sum-rate performance, which is significantly better than that of time-division multiple access.
