Using Model Predictive Control To Reduce Traffic Emissions on Urban Freeways
Urban traffic congestion significantly impacts regional air quality and contributes substantially to pollutant emissions. Suburban freeway corridors are a major source of traffic-related emissions, particularly nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2). This paper proposes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework aimed at emission reduction on peripheral freeway corridors. Emission rates on freeways exhibit high sensitivity to speed fluctuations and congestion recovery processes. To addr…

I’m Brigadier General Shawn Harris.
I served this nation for decades in the US Army and now I’m answering the call to serve again
— this time, to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene and bring sanity back to Congress.
This week, Donald Trump said has sent U.S. Marines into Los Angeles.
As someone who led troops in combat, I can tell you:
our troops don’t serve to be used as political weapons against Americans.
Marjorie Taylor Greene stood by that reckless idea

I just gave to Shawn Harris!

Since halving my #sertraline dose, down to 50mg / day, my brain feels like it’s halved in processing power. Words are more difficult to find, my speech is slower, my thought patterns and creativity are stifled. I’m generally more lethargic. On the plus side I’m less agitated and less prone to angry outbursts. If only I could have all of the good bits and none of the bad. That’s not really h…

The trigonal construction and the second moment of the tropical Prym variety
We use the tropical trigonal construction to calculate the second moment of the tropical Prym variety of all double covers $π:\widetildeΓ\to Γ$ of tropical curves of genus $g(Γ)\leq 4$. The answer is expressed in terms of the signed graphic matroid of the double cover and consists a polynomial and piecewise-polynomial term. We relate the latter term, which does not occur in the analogous formula for the tropical Jacobian, to the problem of extending the Prym--Torelli map from the moduli spa…

Finished the short story, “The Answer is No” by Fredrik Backman, the story of a man without any attachments who just wants to be left alone to eat pad thai & play video games. The neighbors in his apartment keep intruding upon his privacy in ludicrously farcical ways.
Great writer & some great moments, but the whole thing felt like a collection of tropes. Had there been a laugh track on the audiobook, I’d not have been surprised.
3/5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
