The Trends in International Mathematics and Science studies provide country-level data for tracking changes in student achievement over time. In this paper the author has developed a method for identifying and monitoring trends in student achievement above or below any specified cut-point on these tests. The method involved the use of the Foster, Greer, and Thorbecke indices, as well as a modif...

This paper presents a decomposed co-design optimization framework for an electric vehicle powertrain equipped with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). We jointly design the sizes of components and energy management strategy, considering dynamics transmission. Specifically, we divide resulting nonlinear problem into separate hierarchical subproblems leveraging concept Analytical Target Cas...
