TL;DR: A number of possible explanatory variables including demographic profiles, high school achievements, prior computer training and experience, cognitive styles, and problem-solving abilities are examined.
Abstract: Identifying variables that predict computer aptitude can help educators and employers target potential students and employees. The authors examine a number of possible explanatory variables including demographic profiles, high school achievements, prior computer training and experience, cognitive styles, and problem-solving abilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, anodization of Ti foil in anhydrous ethylene glycol + 0.2 wt% NH4F solution (EG solution) with 0-1.0 Wt% water additions were carried out at 20 V for 45 min in a dry-argon filled controlled-atmosphere glove box.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used quantitative survey data to test a model of what causes alienation on campus among student veterans and present quotations from student veterans describing the types of situations they find alienating.
Abstract: U.S. universities are witnessing an influx of student veterans who have been under chronic stress, have suffered injuries, and currently exhibit symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This study utilized quantitative survey data to test a model of what causes alienation on campus among student veterans. We then present quotations from student veterans describing the types of situations they find alienating. The results have direct implications for how student affairs professionals may help veterans succeed in college.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on a specific example of such a delta: the Netherlands and evaluate whether the country's flood protection strategy is capable of coping with future climate conditions, focusing mainly on sea level rise.
Abstract: Sea level rise, especially combined with possible changes in storm surges and increased river discharge resulting from climate change, poses a major threat in low-lying river deltas. In this study we focus on a specific example of such a delta: the Netherlands. To evaluate whether the country's flood protection strategy is capable of coping with future climate conditions, an assessment of low-probability/high- impact scenarios is conducted, focusing mainly on sea level rise. We develop a plausible high-end scenario of 0.55 to 1.15 m global mean sea level rise, and 0.40 to 1.05 m rise on the coast of the Netherlands by 2100 (excluding land subsidence), and more than three times these local values by 2200. Together with projections for changes in storm surge height and peak river discharge, these scenarios depict a complex, enhanced flood risk for the Dutch delta.

01 Jan 2017TL;DR: By the end of this chapter, the reader should be able to implement an MPC to achieve trajectory tracking for both multi-rotor systems and fixed-wing UAVs.
Abstract: In this chapter, strategies for Model Predictive Control (MPC) design and implementation for Unmaned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are discussed. This chapter is divided into two main sections. In the first section, modelling, controller design and implementation of MPC for multi-rotor systems is presented. In the second section, we show modelling and controller design techniques for fixed-wing UAVs. System identification techniques are used to derive an estimate of the system model, while state of the art solvers are employed to solve the optimization problem online. By the end of this chapter, the reader should be able to implement an MPC to achieve trajectory tracking for both multi-rotor systems and fixed-wing UAVs.
