Abstract The primary objective of the present literature review is to provide a constructive and systematical discussion based on relevant development, unsolved issues, gaps, misconceptions in regarding fields study that are building blocks artificial intelligence-aided life extension assessment for offshore wind turbine support structures. aims set up needed guidelines develop multi-disciplina...

Video super-resolution (VSR) is reconstructing high-resolution videos from low resolution ones. Recently, the VSR methods based on deep neural networks have made great progress. However, there rarely systematical review these methods. In this survey, we comprehensively investigate 37 state-of-the-art learning. It well known that leverage of information contained in video frames important for su...

In this paper, an adaptive backstepping design is proposed to synchronize and control the Colpitts oscillator. The proposed control approach enables stabilization of chaotic motion to a steady state as well as synchronization by recursively interlacing the choice of a Lyapunov function with the design of feedback control in a systematical way. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of t...

The response of materials after microscale laser shock peening (mLSP) was experimentally characterized and compared with the theoretical prediction from FEM analysis in microlength level. Since mLSP is predominantly a mechanical process instead of a thermal process, the characterization focuses on mechanical properties and associated microstructures. An X-ray microdiffraction technique was appl...

Sky temperature map of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is one of the premier probes of cosmology. To minimize instrumentally induced systematic errors, CMB anisotropy experiments measure temperature differences across the sky using paires of horn antennas with a fixed separation angle, temperature maps are recovered from temperature differences obtained in sky survey through a map-making ...

This paper illustrates implications from four case studies in which Agile software development teams conducted iterative project retrospectives to improve and adapt their software development processes. It was detected that the existing techniques lack a systematic approach to iteratively validate the implementation and effectiveness of software process improvement actions with both quantitativ...

InAlN/GaN HEMTs have been proposed to provide higher polarization charges without the drawback of high strain [1]. Several groups have demonstrated devices based on InAlN/GaN ([2], [3]), with maximum current capabilities surpassing those of AlGaN/GaN structures. For further optimization a reliable simulation tool is needed. Our two-dimensional device simulator MINIMOS-NT is expanded by material...
