Bajaj, V. (author), Van de Plas, Raf (author), Wahls, S. (author)While probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS) enables rate and reach adaption with finer granularity [1] (Cho and Winzer, 2009), it imposes signal processing challenges at the receiver. Since the distribution of PCS-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals tends to be Gaussian, conventional blind polarization demultiplexing algorithms...journal article 2024

Ranjbar, Roza (author), Segovia Castillo, P. (author), Duviella, Eric (author), Etienne, Lucien (author), Maestre, José M. (author), Camacho, Eduardo F. (author)This paper presents the design of a model predictive control (MPC) for the Calais canal, located in the north of France for satisfactory management of the system. To estimate the unknown inputs/outputs arising from the uncontrolled pumps, a digital twin (DT) in the framework of a Matlab-SIC2 is used to reproduce the dynamics of the canal, and...journal article 2024

Voinea, Cristina (author), Marin, L. (author), Vică, Constantin (author)In this paper we introduce the concept of attentional scaffolds and show the resemblance between social media platforms and slot machines, both functioning as hostile attentional scaffolds. The first section establishes the groundwork for the concept of attentional scaffolds and draws parallels to the mechanics of slot machines, to argue that...journal article 2024

Koutamanis, A. (author)Building information modelling (BIM) has ushered in the era of symbolic building representation: building elements and spaces are described not by graphical elements but by discrete symbols, each with properties and relations that explicitly integrate all information. Digital twinning promises even more: a digital replica in complete sync with...book chapter 2024

(author), Vdovin, Gleb (author)Traditionally, automated slide scanning involves capturing a rectangular grid of field-of-view (FoV) images which can be stitched together to create whole slide images, while the autofocusing algorithm captures a focal stack of images<br/>to determine the best in-focus image. However, these methods can be timeconsuming due to the need for X-, Y-...journal article 2024
