Branch-and-bound algorithm for efficient reliability analysis of general coherent systems

Branch and bound algorithms have been developed for reliability analysis of coherent systems. They exhibit a set of advantages; in particular, they can find a computationally efficient representation of a system failure or survival event, which can be re-used when the input probability distributions change over time or when new data is available. However, existing branch-and-bound algorithms can handle only a limited set of system performance functions, mostly network connectivity and maximum flow. Furthermore, they run redundant analyses on component vector states whose system state can be inferred from previous analysis results. This study addresses these limitations by proposing branch and bound for reliability analysis of general coherent systems (BRC) algorithm: an algorithm that automatically finds minimal representations of failure/survival events of general coherent systems. Computational efficiency is attained by dynamically inferring importance of component events from hitherto obtained results. We demonstrate advantages of the BRC method as a real-time risk management tool by application to the Eastern Massachusetts highway benchmark network.&nbsp;

Quantum-enabled optical large-baseline interferometry: applications, protocols and feasibility

Optical Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) offers the potential for unprecedented angular resolution in astronomical imaging and geodetic measurements. However, classical implementations face fundamental challenges, including photon loss, atmospheric turbulence, the requirements for dynamical delay lines, and the quantum nature of light. This review surveys recent proposals in quantum-enabled VLBI, which seeks to overcome these limitations through entanglement-assisted interferometry, quantum memory storage, and nonlocal measurement techniques. We highlight some key applications, including direct imaging of exoplanets, precision tracking of stellar orbits near black holes, and geodetic monitoring of Earth’s rotation and the Moon’s librations. Particular attention is given to quantum-enhanced telescope architectures, including repeater-based long-baseline interferometry and quantum error-corrected encoding schemes, which offer a pathway toward high-fidelity optical VLBI. By integrating quantum technologies, future interferometric networks may achieve diffraction-limited imaging at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, surpassing the constraints of classical techniques and enabling new precision tests of astrophysical and fundamental physics phenomena.&nbsp;

Major Crustal Boundaries MapServer

The Major Crustal Boundaries web service displays the synthesized output of more than 30 years of acquisition of deep seismic reflection data across Australia, where major crustal-scale breaks have been interpreted in the seismic reflection profiles, often inferred to be relict sutures between different crustal blocks. The widespread coverage of the seismic profiles now provides the opportunity to construct a map of major crustal boundaries across Australia.

Groundwater dependent waterbodies using Digital Earth Australia WFS

The Groundwater Dependent Waterbodies (GDW) dataset is a subset of the Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Waterbodies product that has been combined with the Bureau of Meteorology’s national Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem (GDE) Atlas to produce surface waterbodies that are known/high potential aquatic GDEs. These aquatic GDEs include springs, rivers, lakes and wetlands. Where known/high potential GDEs intersected a DEA waterbody, the entire DEA waterbody polygon was retained and assigned as a GDW. Additional attributes were added to the waterbody polygons to indicate amount of overlap the waterbody had with the GDE(s) as well as the minimum, mean, median and maximum percentage of time that water has been detected in each GDW relative to the total number of clear observations (1986 to present).

This web service will display a variety of layers with spatial summary statistics of the GDW dataset.
These provide a first-pass representation of known/high potential aquatic GDEs and their surface water persistence, derived consistently from Landsat satellite imagery across Australia.

Enhanced Oil Recovery Potential Basins WFS

This web map service shows the key Australian petroleum producing basins ranked by their potential for CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR), based on a study completed by Geoscience Australia in 2020. Basin rankings result from the assessment of six parameters: the API gravity of the oil, temperature, pressure, reservoir quality (porosity, permeability), nearby CO2 sources and existing infrastructure. Higher rankings indicate greater potential for CO2-EOR. For further information see: Tenthorey, E., and Kalinowski, A. 2022. Screening Australia’s Basins for CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery.

Composite Gazetteer of Australia

The Composite Gazetteer of Australia (CGA) is the national repository of Australia’s approved place names, drawing together data from each state, territory, and relevant Commonwealth authorities. It is the place names point database that is used by the CGA web application, https://placenames.fsdf.org.au, to deliver jurisdictional place name information as one collection. The CGA is collaborative effort - every Australian state and mainland territory provides data from its official register of geographic names, administered by its naming authority (e.g. VICNAMES in Victoria, the NSW Geographical Names Board, etc). In addition, the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) contributes offshore undersea feature names, and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) provides Antarctic place names. All data provided for the CGA is managed by respective naming authorities.

&nbsp;

Over decades, it has evolved through collaborative governance and technical innovation. The effort is coordinated under the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM), through its Australia and New Zealand Place Names Working Group (ANZPNWG), formerly Permanent Committee on Place Names (PCPN) or its predecessor, Committee for Geographical Names in Australasia (CGNA).

&nbsp;

The database is also available to search and direct download from the web application, currently https://placenames.fsdf.org.au.



The spatial accuracy of the place names points varies between jurisdictions and cannot be relied upon for navigation, precise positioning, or safety-of-life applications. Any quality issues with individual data points should be referred to the relevant naming authority.
