Abstract While town twinning has played a crucial role in reconciliation and reconstruction processes Europe after World War II, urban historians have not yet paid sufficient attention to it. This special issue thus addresses this historiographical neglect through set of case-studies that examine the twinned cities post-war between former enemy nations across ideological fault lines Cold War.

In view of the increase in number Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) commercial and private sectors, it is imperative to make sure that such systems are safe, thus resilient faults failures. This paper considers numerical design practical implementation a linear parameter-varying (LPV) sliding mode observer for Fault Detection Diagnosis (FDD) quadrotor minidrone. Starting from nonlinear model mini...

Statistical data-driven process monitoring is critical for efficient operations of industrial processes. However, deviations from normal regions in the process data may or may not lead to poor quality of products. This paper proposes a new combined index for detecting output-relevant faults, which affect the output data, and studies the output-relevant fault detectability based on total project...
