On Transformation Based Circular Density Estimators
Estimation of the probability density function for circular data is an important topic in statistical inference. In this thesis, I would like to introduce two transformation based methods for estimating probability density function in this context. One is derived from traditional kernel density estimator and the other one comes from the Bernstein polynomial estimator (Chaubey, 2017). We know both of the kernel density estimator (Silverman, 1986) and Bernstein polynomial estimator (Babu, Canty and Chaubey, 2002) are appropriate for the case of linear data, transformation of circular data to linear data would bring extreme simplicity to estimation of probability density function in the case of circular data by back transformation. I will conduct a simulation study to compare these methods with respect to their global and local errors. We find through our simulation study that transformed kernel density estimator has a stronger ability to alleviate the boundary problems than transformed Bernstein polynomial estimator, however, their overall performance is pretty much similar in the central part of the distribution. Therefore, in general we can say transformed kernel density estimator leads to a better method as compared to the transformed Bernstein polynomial estimator, however further research may be needed to study other transformations
Research on Tailoring Technology of Array CCD Aerial Camera Linux System
In view of the actual demand of operating system of the air plane array CCD camera, and combining with the hardware resources of the PC104 bus structure, Linux system adopted in CCD camera is cut practically, which based on the tailoring method adopting the combination of coarse-grained and fine-grained to enhance the Linux kernel preemption, improve the scheduling strategy of Linux kernel scheduler, to build a embedded system with the strong implementation capacity. The system startup and task of the response performance test in different environment shows that the cut systems is stable, reliable, and can achieve the startup time less than 5s, the performance of the task response time less than 20 millisecond
Retraction: the “other face” of research collaboration?
The last two decades have witnessed the rising prevalence of both co-publishing and retraction. Focusing on research collaboration, this paper utilizes a unique dataset to investigate factors contributing to retraction probability and elapsed time between publication and retraction. Data analysis reveals that the majority of retracted papers are multi-authored and that repeat offenders are collaboration prone. Yet, all things being equal, collaboration, in and of itself, does not increase the likelihood of producing flawed or fraudulent research, at least in the form of retraction. That holds for all retractions and also retractions due to falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism (FFP). The research also finds that publications with authors from elite universities are less likely to be retracted, which is particularly true for retractions due to FFP. China stands out with the fastest retracting speed compared to other countries. Possible explanations, limitations, and policy implications are also discussed

LSGNN: Towards General Graph Neural Network in Node Classification by Local Similarity
Heterophily has been considered as an issue that hurts the performance of
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). To address this issue, some existing work uses a
graph-level weighted fusion of the information of multi-hop neighbors to
include more nodes with homophily. However, the heterophily might differ among
nodes, which requires to consider the local topology. Motivated by it, we
propose to use the local similarity (LocalSim) to learn node-level weighted
fusion, which can also serve as a plug-and-play module. For better fusion, we
propose a novel and efficient Initial Residual Difference Connection (IRDC) to
extract more informative multi-hop information. Moreover, we provide
theoretical analysis on the effectiveness of LocalSim representing node
homophily on synthetic graphs. Extensive evaluations over real benchmark
datasets show that our proposed method, namely Local Similarity Graph Neural
Network (LSGNN), can offer comparable or superior state-of-the-art performance
on both homophilic and heterophilic graphs. Meanwhile, the plug-and-play model
can significantly boost the performance of existing GNNs. Our code is provided

Simulating the Integration of Urban Air Mobility into Existing Transportation Systems: A Survey
Urban air mobility (UAM) has the potential to revolutionize transportation in
metropolitan areas, providing a new mode of transportation that could alleviate
congestion and improve accessibility. However, the integration of UAM into
existing transportation systems is a complex task that requires a thorough
understanding of its impact on traffic flow and capacity. In this paper, we
conduct a survey to investigate the current state of research on UAM in
metropolitan-scale traffic using simulation techniques. We identify key
challenges and opportunities for the integration of UAM into urban
transportation systems, including impacts on existing traffic patterns and
congestion; safety analysis and risk assessment; potential economic and
environmental benefits; and the development of shared infrastructure and routes
for UAM and ground-based transportation. We also discuss the potential benefits
of UAM, such as reduced travel times and improved accessibility for underserved
areas. Our survey provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of
research on UAM in metropolitan-scale traffic using simulation and highlights
key areas for future research and development
