The last algorithm deals with joint estimation of Markov chain and continuous states, which is realized through an alternate execution of fixed-interval Kalman smoother and dynamic programming.
"The good news is, I can talk about alternate swap-execution facilities," Mr. Himes said of his approach to legislating.
Preliminary experiments, carried out with the Charlie USV, of an automatic mission controller able to alternate the execution of autonomous and human tele-operated activities are presented.
As part of Edison's campaign to debunk his rival, he had lobbied New York to introduce electrocution by alternating current for human executions.
The death penalty has been a hot topic in the US of late, as the Supreme Court considers whether some lethal injections constitute cruel and unusual punishment, and other states weigh alternate methods of execution.
While some states sought to reinstate back-up alternate methods of execution like the electric chair or firing squads, others sought to put shield laws in place to prevent the press and public from knowing details about the drugs being used, including the names of the drug manufacturers and distributors.
Edison argued that executions should use alternating current because it was more deadly, implying that it was more dangerous to the public as well.
The functional time series of DTI scans (the fDTI set) were acquired during the execution of an alternating sequence of a neurobehavioral task and a resting condition.
An execution E is an infinite alternating sequence of configurations and steps E=C0 s0 C1 …, where C0 is an initial configuration and Ck+1 is the configuration obtained by applying step s k to configuration C k.
Not only did the more economical alternating current become the norm, but also, as Essig writes, "by making executions appear painless, Edison helped the death penalty survive".
