In recent years, a step change has been seen in the rate of adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies by manufacturers and industrial organizations alike. This article discusses the current state of the art in the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies within the construction industry. Increasing complexity …

Minimum Detect and avoid Well Clear (DWC) guidance provides the pilot with information on the directions in which DWC is predicted to be lost and how soon. Different guidance algorithms are analyzed for their ability to provide guidance after DWC is lost. Command and status-based concepts for guidance …

Factor analysis is a popular tool in multivariate statistics, applied in several areas of study such as psychology, economics, chemistry and signal processing. Given a set of observed random variables, factor analysis aims at explaining and analyzing the correlation between these random variables. This …

Dynamic time warping (DTW) is a distance measure to compare time series that exhibit similar patterns. In this paper, we will show how the warping path of the DTW algorithm can be interpreted, and a framework is proposed to extend the DTW algorithm. Using this framework, we will show how the dynamic …

While the majority of binaural beamformers aim to minimize the output noise power while (approximately) preserving the binaural cues of the sources using constraints, we propose in this paper to minimize the binaural-cue distortions of the sources in the acoustic scene, such that the output noise power …

Due to the growing availability of huge amounts of data of different types and the growing capabilities to analyze these data, the expectations of big data applications are high. In this paper, we argue that the usability of big data in the social domain is far from trivial. If the outcomes of big data …

From the pubisher's website: This paper aims to chart the (moral) values from a robotic industry's perspective regarding the introduction of robots in education. To our knowledge, no studies thus far have addressed this perspective in considering the moral values within this robotic domain. However, …
