1. Comparative Evaluation of Voltage- and Current-Impressed Inductive Power Transfer to Multiple Stainless-Steel-Enclosed Moving Receivers 

   Xu, Junzhong; Miric, Spasoje; Blickenstorfer, Markus; et al. (2024)

   IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition. Conference Proceedings

   Linear actuators in high-purity environments require full stainless-steel (SS) encapsulation and, advantageously, contactless, i.e., inductive power transfer (IPT) to several moving sliders which carry the actuator motor drives and applicationspecific tools. To avoid high eddy current losses in the SS enclosures by avoiding perpendicular magnetic field components, each IPT receiver features a closed toroidal magnetic core (with the ...

2. Fully Dynamic Consistent <i>k</i>-Center Clustering 

   Lacki, Jakub; Haeupler, Bernhard; Grunau, Christoph; et al. (2024)

   PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2024 ANNUAL ACM-SIAM SYMPOSIUM ON DISCRETE ALGORITHMS, SODA

   We study the consistent k-center clustering problem. In this problem, the goal is to maintain a constant factor approximate k-center solution during a sequence of n point insertions and deletions while minimizing the recourse, i.e., the number of changes made to the set of centers after each point insertion or deletion. Previous works by Lattanzi and Vassilvitskii [ICML '12] and Fichtenberger, Lattanzi, Norouzi-Fard, and Svensson [SODA ...

3. On Deterministically Approximating Total Variation Distance 

   Feng, Weiming; Liu, Liqiang; Liu, Tianren (2024)

   PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2024 ANNUAL ACM-SIAM SYMPOSIUM ON DISCRETE ALGORITHMS, SODA

   Total variation distance (TV distance) is an important measure for the difference between two distributions. Recently, there has been progress in approximating the TV distance between product distributions: a deterministic algorithm for a restricted class of product distributions (Bhattacharyya, Gayen, Meel, Myrisiotis, Pavan and Vinodchandran 2023) and a randomized algorithm for general product distributions (Feng, Guo, Jerrum and Wang ...

4. Fault-Tolerant Spanners against Bounded-Degree Edge Failures: Linearly More Faults, Almost For Free 

   Bodwin, Greg; Haeupler, Bernhard; Parter, Merav (2024)

   PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2024 ANNUAL ACM-SIAM SYMPOSIUM ON DISCRETE ALGORITHMS, SODA

   We study a new and stronger notion of fault-tolerant graph structures whose size bounds depend on the degree of the failing edge set, rather than the total number of faults. For a subset of faulty edges F subset of G, the faulty-degree deg(F) is the largest number of faults in F incident to any given vertex. For example, a matching F has deg(F) = 1 while vertical bar F vertical bar might be as large as n/2. We design new fault-tolerant ...

5. The genetic architecture of repeated local adaptation to climate in distantly related plants 

   Whiting, James R.; Booker, Tom R.; Rougeux, Clement; et al. (2024)

   Nature Ecology & Evolution

   Closely related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments. However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential and whether this is conserved across deeper evolutionary lineages. Adaptation to climate presents a natural laboratory to test these ideas, as even distantly related species must contend with similar stresses. Here, we re-analyse genomic data from thousands of individuals from ...
