Reliability-Based Fault Analysis and Modeling of Satellite Electrical Power Subsystems Using Fault Tree and Simulation Tools
One of the most important satellite subsystems is its electric power subsystem. The occurrence of a fault in the satellite power system causes the failure of all or part of the satellite. Calculating the overall reliability of the power system before the mission is crucial in improving the design of the satellite power system. Each component of the power system may malfunction due to pressure, launch pressure, and operating conditions. Accordingly, in this paper, first, a healthy and faulty sys…

Monsters are very real.
But they never emerge in a vacuum.
This piece by @… is nearly perfect in explaining why.

In Jason Henderson's 2013 book Street Fight he writes of SF transportation politics as a function of 3 factions: conservatives, neoliberals, progressives. How the street fights go depends on how those factions align. If you slot in YIMBYish urbanist types—those who are pro-bike, pro-business, believe that Dean Preston was blocking housing—as the neoliberals, this holds up surprisingly well today.

Smart fault detection in satellite electrical power system
This paper presents an new approach for detecting in the electrical power system of satellites operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) without an Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem (ADCS). Components of these systems are prone to faults, such as line-to-line faults in the photovoltaic subsystem, open circuits, and short circuits in the DC-to-DC converter, as well as ground faults in batteries. In the previous research has largely focused on detecting faults in each components, such as phot…

Embedded Acoustic Intelligence for Automotive Systems
Transforming sound insights into actionable streams of data, this abstract leverages findings from degree thesis research to enhance automotive system intelligence, enabling us to address road type [1].By extracting and interpreting acoustic signatures from microphones installed within the wheelbase of a car, we focus on classifying road type.Utilizing deep neural networks and feature extraction powered by pre-trained models from the Open AI ecosystem (via Hugging Face [2]), our approach enable…

Canadians: Replace Ardern with Trudeau and use other Canadian touchstones in place of #nzpol and you have an accurate article for Canada.
Which should speak to what Progressives actually need to do here, and everywhere.
"Ardern’s leadership has often been described as emotionally intelligent, compassionate, and people-centred. But compassion is not liberation. Empathy alone does not redistribute wealth, dismantle police power, or decommodify housing. What Ardern perfected was a mode of governance that couched neoliberalism in progressive language. A style of leadership that appeared anti-fascist, anti-racist, and feminist, while presiding over deepening inequality, mass incarceration of Māori, ongoing colonisation, environmental destruction, and a housing system that serves landlords and property speculators.
Ardern’s “politics of kindness” masked a status quo commitment to capitalism and state power. Her government’s housing policies floundered under the weight of market logic. Despite the crisis of homelessness and unaffordability, the Labour government never seriously considered nationalising housing, implementing rent controls, or seizing vacant properties from land-bankers. Instead, they protected the interests of property investors, many of whom were MPs themselves."
