This article deals with the problem of fuel saving in the design of flight plans for a formation flight connecting a given set of departure and arrival airports. Fuel savings occur when aircraft form proper flight formations during the cruise phase to take advantage of the induced drag reduction of...

We present an algorithm for triobjective nonlinear integer programs that combines the -constrained method with available oracles for biobjective integer programs. We prove that our method is able to detect the nondominated set within a finite number of iterations. Specific strategies to avoid the...

Background and aim: Cereals’ iron content is a major contributor to dietary iron intake in Europe and a potential for biofortification. A simulation of daily iron intake from wheat and rice over the next 20 years will be quantified. Methods: Food items, and energy and iron intake by age classes are...

Cyber-physical systems face cyberattacks that hinder performance, increase cost, or even collapse the system. Thus, rapid and accurate attack detection is crucial for quick activation of defense mechanisms. Model-based attack detection approaches are known for their precision; however, the...

Purpose: Single-agent immune checkpoint inhibitor (IO) therapy is the standard for non-oncogene-addicted advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) with PD-L1 tumor proportion score ≥ 50%. Smoking-induced harm generates high tumor mutation burden (H-TMB) in smoking patients (S-pts), while never-...

Modern visual perception techniques often rely on multiple heterogeneous sensors to achieve accurate and robust estimates. Knowledge of their relative positions is a mandatory prerequisite to accomplish sensor fusion. Typically, this result is obtained through a calibration procedure that...

LiDAR odometry is the task of estimating the ego-motion of the sensor from sequential laser scans. This problem has been addressed by the community for more than two decades, and many effective solutions are available nowadays. Most of these systems implicitly rely on assumptions about the...

Factor graphs are a very powerful graphical representation, used to model many problems in robotics. They are widely spread in the areas of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), computer vision, and localization. However, the physics of many real-world problems is better modeled through...

Robotics researchers have been focusing on developing autonomous and human-like intelligent robots that are able to plan, navigate, manipulate objects, and interact with humans in both static and dynamic environments. These capabilities, however, are usually developed for direct interactions with...

In this paper we study Controlled Query Evaluation (CQE), a declarative approach to privacy-preserving query answering over databases, knowledge bases, and ontologies. CQE is based on the notion of censor, which defines the answers to each query posed to the data/knowledge base. We investigate both...
