From cubic to linear complexity in computational electromagnetics

Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) is the scientific field at the origin of all new modeling and simulation tools required by the constantly arising design challenges of emerging and future technologies in applied electromagnetics. As in many other technological fields, however, the trend in all emerging technologies in electromagnetic engineering is going towards miniaturized, higher density and multi-scale scenarios. Computationally speaking this translates in the steep increase of the number of degrees of freedom. Given that the design cost (the cost of a multi-right-hand side problem dominated by matrix inversion) can scale as badly as cubically with these degrees of freedom, this fact, as pointed out by many, will sensibly compromise the practical impact of CEM on future and emerging technologies. 

For this reason, the CEM scientific community has been looking for years for a FFT-like paradigm shift: a dynamic fast direct solver providing a design cost that would scale only linearly with the degrees of freedom. Such a fast solver is considered today a Holy Grail of the discipline.

The Grand Challenge of 321 will be to tackle this Holy Grail in Computational Electromagnetics by investigating a dynamic Fast Direct Solver for Maxwell Problems that would run in a linear-instead-of-cubic complexity for an arbitrary number and configuration of degrees of freedom. 

The failure of all previous attempts will be overcome by a game-changing transformation of the CEM classical problem that will leverage on a recent breakthrough  of the PI. Starting from this, the project will investigate an entire new paradigm for impacting algorithms to achieve this grand challenge. 

The impact of the FFT’s quadratic-to-linear paradigm shift shows how computational complexity reductions can be groundbreaking on applications. The cubic-to-linear paradigm shift, which the 321 project will aim for, will have such a rupturing impact on electromagnetic science and technology.
COMPONENT FOR THE PANELING OR ERECTION OF BUILDINGS

The invention relates to a component for paneling or erecting buildings, comprising a frame arrangement (1) through which a membrane (2) is tensioned in two layers. Known frame arrangements of this type have the disadvantage that they are complicated to construct at the work site. The object of improving on a component such that it can be largely pre-made and that only minimal further preparation measures are required at the point of installation is accomplished in that the frame arrangement (1) is designed as a closed, surrounding arrangement of tubular profiles (3), and in that the two-layered membrane (2) encloses said arrangement of tubular profiles (3) on all sides.
Water Quality Cooperation Actions for Lake CERESIO

For years, the southern basin of Lake Ceresio has been experiencing a deterioration in the quality of the water connected to the contribution coming from the sewerage networks of coastal towns bordering the lake, which creates a situation of compromised lake environment with important consequences both on the use by the local Italian and Swiss populations and on the image of the territory and on the attractiveness of the lake from the tourist point of view. The studies carried out by the International Commission for the Protection of Italian-Swiss Waters (CIPAIS) have identified discharges from the sewerage networks of the Municipalities on Italian territory as the main cause of the poor state of the basin waters. The ACQuA Ceresio project aims to improve the quality of the waters of Lake Ceresio by intervening on the sewage and purification system and making it more efficient.
Trinity long room hub visiting research fellows cofund programme

The Trinity Long Room Hub Visiting Research Fellows Programme will offer opportunities to nine Experienced Researchers
from across the spectrum of the Arts and Humanities to spend a fellowship of 12 months duration at Trinity Colleges’ Arts
and Humanities Research Institute. This fellowship programme represents a significant enhancement of the offering of the
existing fellowship programme operating in the TLRH. The objectives of the programme are to attract high quality
international researchers from Europe and all over the world via more attractive employment conditions including an
employment contract and via wide and rigorous promotion of the calls while open. The programme will provide fellows with training and networking opportunities that will enhance their career development potential ( via their involvement in the activities of an Interdisciplinary College Research Theme affiliated to the Long Room Hub under which they will be recruited and access to a range of non research related training opportunities via different units in TCD); to identify the relevance of their work for other sectors outside academia including the public ( via the inclusion of a secondment element in the programme and via participation in the public engagement activities of the Long Room Hub) and to provide them with interdisciplinary research opportunities( again via involvement in and exposure to staff active in the Interdisciplinary Research Theme under which they have been recruited). The Interdisciplinary Research Themes involve staff across a TCD schools not only thoseaffiliated to the TLRH (i.e. Computer Science and Statistics, Engineering, Nursing, Social Work and Psychology) that will hopefully stand them in good stead as they seek to expand their academic networks. Finally Trinity College and the Long Room Hub will support the selection of researchers following an open, merit-based and impartial and equitable selection procedure, based on international peer review.
Can Colonial Institutions Explain Income Distribution? Evidence from Rural Colonial India

This paper studies the relationship between land revenue systems and the levels of agricultural income inequality in colonial India. The first district-level comparative estimates of agricultural income inequality are introduced using wage/income ratios for 1916. The presence of permanently settled lands -which had their land revenue demand fixed in perpetuity- is used as an instrument for the land revenue systems to analyse their causal impact on agricultural income inequality. Results show that districts with a larger proportion of non-landlord land revenue systems presented more egalitarian agricultural income distributions. This was due to non-landlord land revenue systems allowing for lower rents, less under-tenure rights and lower indebtedness of cultivators.
Longitudinal and Integrative Biomodeling of Effector and Memory Immune Compartments after Inactivated Influenza Vaccination

Most vaccines, including those against influenza, were developed by focusing solely on humoral response for protection. However, vaccination activates different adaptive compartments that might play a role in protection. We took advantage of the pandemic 2009 A(H1N1) influenza vaccination to conduct a longitudinal integrative multiparametric analysis of seven immune parameters in vaccinated subjects. A global analysis underlined the predominance of induction of humoral and CD4 T cell responses, whereas pandemic 2009 A(H1N1)-specific CD8 responses did not improve after vaccination. A principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering of individuals showed a differential upregulation of influenza vaccine-specific immunity including hemagglutination inhibition titers, IgA(+) and IgG(+) Ab-secreting cells, effector CD4 or CD8 T cell frequencies at day 21 among individuals, suggesting a fine-tuning of the immune parameters after vaccination. This is related to individual factors including the magnitude and quality of influenza-specific immune responses before vaccination. We propose a graphical delineation of immune determinants that would be essential for a better understanding of vaccine-induced immunity in vaccination strategies.
Bacterial cellulose (and)- based skin repair material - bc

Burn injury is a common type of traumatic injury, causing considerable morbidity and mortality. Moreover, burns are also among the most expensive traumatic injuries, because of long hospitalization and rehabilitation, and costly wound and scar treatment.  Worldwide, an estimated 6 million patients seek medical help for burns annually, but the majority are treated in outpatient clinics.   According to World Health Organisation, estimated burn management costs in 2017 were 10.5 billion EUR.  The removal of traditional dressing material can adhere to desiccated wound surfaces and induce trauma followed by life-threatening infectious contamination. The treatment time is long and complicated. Recovery process of skin, that often-become life threatening, if complicated by infectious contamination, is always highly dangerous in case of large burn injuries. Project team has conducted experimental research and patented an efficient   nanostructured cellulose-producing strain. It has been characterized by increased rate of Bacterial Cellulose (BC) production, also by high cellulose yield from the consumed Csubstrate. Both parameters, also facilities of application of a cheap raw material, for bacteria growth and BC synthesis is an essential advantage of the strain to increase   cellulose production per unit of time   and space (surface area of fermentation vessels) and to reduce expenses associated with cellulose production. In general, the main innovation of the process is due to the high productivity of BC process achieved through the use of a unique patented producer-strains and bio-technological approaches, as well the modification of BC with bio-active substances with custom target activity. Thanks to the unique properties of BC material, project aims to introduce BC SKIN product within the application in medicine industry.
Modelling individual decisions to support the european policies related to agriculture

Agricultural policies like the EU CAP are widening the scope to contribute to the Paris climate agreement and the Sustainability Development Goals. From the Commission's legislative proposals (June 2018) it is expected that the European Union (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will be redesigned in line with this. Consequences are among others a move of the CAP to farm specific measures and an improved link to environment, climate change and ecosystem services. It is proposed that Member States and regions develop their own CAP strategic plan with more attention to the regional implementation of the CAP. This wider scope and measures with a focus on individual farmers ask for a new generation of impact assessment tools. Current state-of-the-art agricultural models are not able to deliver individual farm and local effects as they are specified at higher levels of aggregation. Making use of improved possibilities opened up by progress in the ICT area, our project MIND STEP will improve exploitation of available agricultural and biophysical data and will include the individual decision making (IDM) unit in policy models. Based on a common data framework MIND STEP will develop IDM models, including agent-based models, focussing on different topics in an integrated manner in different regional case studies. The IDM models will be estimated and calibrated using agricultural statistics and big datasets, drawing on established econometric and evolving machine learning techniques and using both traditional models of optimising behaviour and theories from behavioural economics. MIND STEP will closely cooperate with a range of stakeholders to co-create and apply the MIND STEP model toolbox to selected regional, national and EU wide policy cases. MIND STEP cooperates with other consortia under the topic to share ideas and innovations. Finally, MIND STEP develops an Exploitation Strategy and Plan to guarantee the sustainability of the project results upon its completion.
Java generics adoption

Support for generic programming was added to the Java language in 2004, representing perhaps the most significant change to one of the most widely used programming languages today. Researchers and language designers anticipated this addition would relieve many long-standing problems plaguing developers, but surprisingly, no one has yet measured whether generics actually provide such relief. In this paper, we report on the first empirical investigation into how Java generics have been integrated into open source software by automatically mining the history of 20 popular open source Java programs, traversing more than 500 million lines of code in the process. We evaluate five hypotheses, each based on assertions made by prior researchers, about how Java developers use generics. For example, our results suggest that generics do not significantly reduce the number of type casts and that generics are usually adopted by a single champion in a project, rather than all committers.
Model Reduction by Manifold Boundaries

Understanding the collective behavior of complex systems from their basic components is a difficult yet fundamental problem in science. Existing model reduction techniques are either applicable under limited circumstances or produce "black boxes" disconnected from the microscopic physics. We propose a new approach by translating the model reduction problem for an arbitrary statistical model into a geometric problem of constructing a low-dimensional, submanifold approximation to a high-dimensional manifold. When models are overly complex, we use the observation that the model manifold is bounded with a hierarchy of widths and propose using the boundaries as submanifold approximations. We refer to this approach as the manifold boundary approximation method. We apply this method to several models, including a sum of exponentials, a dynamical systems model of protein signaling, and a generalized Ising model. By focusing on parameters rather than physical degrees of freedom, the approach unifies many other model reduction techniques, such as singular limits, equilibrium approximations, and the renormalization group, while expanding the domain of tractable models. The method produces a series of approximations that decrease the complexity of the model and reveal how microscopic parameters are systematically "compressed" into a few macroscopic degrees of freedom, effectively building a bridge between the microscopic and the macroscopic descriptions.
Research on the Wavelet De-noising of Vibration Signals for Aircraft Rolling Bearings

Aiming at air rolling bearing vibration signals low SNR and non-stationary characteristics,taking wavelet theory and principles of the wavelet noise reduction for air vibration signals of rolling bearings to conduct wavelet noise reduction processing. By means of the simulation signal wavelet noise reduction processing and fast Fourier transform,the contrast analysis of the vibration signals is made after wavelet noise reduction and FFT transform and the original signal directly to the result of the fast Fourier transform,and thus the validity of the vibration signal wavelet noise reduction is proved. Through the actual vibration signals of bearing conduct noise reduction processing,the result is a further indication of the superiority of wavelet noise reduction in eliminate noise interference.
EXPERIENCE, DISCOVER & VALORISE HIDDEN TREASURE TOWNS AND SITES OF THE ADRIATIC AREA

In Italy and Croatia it is easy to identify many small towns with very relevant historical, cultural and natural assets, but visited by a little number of tourists, lower than the potentiality of the local natural and cultural resources. The main goal of this project is to reduce this gap between resources and tourists, contributing to a better territorial and seasonal distribution of tourist flows in Croatia and Italy. The main goals of EXCOVER will be therefore to identify innovative ways for solving the constraints on the tourist development of the small towns with relevant local assets but with poor tourist flows. The core aspect of EXCOVER is the involvement of the local communities: only the participation of the residents in the small towns will create a Tourist Supply Chain based on the single under-exploited resources instead of the usual heavy investments in accommodation and transport.

Capturing a Musician's Groove: generation of realistic accompaniments from single song recordings

This demonstration presents a concatenative synthesis engine for the generation of musical accompaniments, based on chord progressions. The system takes a player's song recording as input, and generates the accompaniment for any other song, based on the input content. We show that working on accompaniment requires a special care about temporal deviations at the border of the sliced chunks, because they make most of the rhythmic groove. We address it by discriminating accidental deviations against intentional ones, in order to correct the first while keeping the second. We will provide a full demonstration of the system, from the recording process to the generation, in various conditions, inviting the audience to participate.
Nano-crystalline Mn0.3Ni0.3Zn0.4Fe2O4 obtained by novel fumarato-hydrazinate precursor method

Carboxylate hydrazinate complex involving mixed metals have been synthesized and used as precur- sor for preparing the nanocrystalline Mn-Ni-Zn ferrite. Chemical composition of complex was fixed from chemi- cal analysis results, infrared studies, thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric analysis and isothermal weight loss studies. Nano-crystalline Mn-Ni-Zn ferrite particles obtained by thermal autocatalytic decomposition were characterized using X-ray diffraction studies, infrared spectral studies and TEM measurement. Two peaks in the region of 340-420 and 550-660 cm -1 observed in the infrared spectrum of ''as synthesized'' oxide are charac- teristics of spinel ferrites. Average particle size of ''as synthesized'' Mn-Ni-Zn ferrite was found to be 10 nm. ''As synthesized'' Mn-Ni-Zn ferrite showed Curie point at 313 � C. Saturation magnetization (44.7 emu/g) observed for ''as synthesized'' Mn-Ni-Zn ferrite is lower than bulk material which is indicative of its nano-crystalline nature. Seebeck coefficient measurement has shown that the material exhibits n-type semiconducting behavior.
„Einführung in die Herstellung innovativer, hochfester Druckgussteile aus Aluminiumlegierung für den Einsatz in Pkw-Aufhängungssystemen, einschließlich Elektrofahrzeugen“

Das Hauptziel des Projekts ist die Steigerung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Firma „LENAAL“ Sp. z o.o. Sp. j. auf dem internationalen Markt. Das Instrument, das wir verwenden werden, um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, werden die F & E-Arbeiten sein, die wir in unseren Forschungseinrichtungen durchgeführt haben. Die Forschungsarbeiten wurden eigenständig unter Beteiligung von Industrieingenieuren in unserem Unternehmen durchgeführt. Das wichtigste Ergebnis, das wir als Ergebnis des Projekts erzielen wollen, ist die Implementierung neuer Produkte für die Automobilindustrie und verwandte Industrien (Universaltechnik). Anspruchsvolle Branchen erwarten Details, die hohen Maßtoleranzanforderungen entsprechen und gleichzeitig eine hohe Produktfestigkeit erhalten. Das Problem, das wir identifizierten, war das Fehlen des Angebots an Aufhängungsgehäusen für die Automobilindustrie. Im Juni 2021 haben wir schwierige Forschungen zur Entwicklung neuer Produkte abgeschlossen, bei denen es sich um den ultrainnovativen Oberfederkörper des Stoßdämpfers handelt. Wir haben auch unsere eigene, polnische, beispiellose Technologie auf europäischer Ebene entwickelt. Die entwickelte umweltfreundliche Technologie für die Herstellung von ultrahochfesten und materialeffizienten Aluminiumgussteilen mit erhöhten Betriebsparametern wird sich auf die Endprodukte auswirken und deren Qualität und Haltbarkeit erhöhen. Dies ist notwendig, weil das Portfolio unserer Kunden solche Automobilriesen ist wie: BMW, Audi, Volvo, PORSCHE oder FIAT. Der Mangel an modernen Produkten und innovativen Technologien in unserem Unternehmen kann zum Abfluss der oben genannten Kunden führen. Sie werden vom Wettbewerb übernommen, sicherlich nicht im Inland, was dem Zustand Mazowiens und der polnischen Wirtschaft schaden wird. Im Rahmen des Projekts sehen wir den Kauf der neuesten auf dem Markt verfügbaren Maschinen und Geräte vor: Gießmaschine mit einer Kurzschlusskraft von 900-1400 Tonnen und 4-Spindel-CNC-Bearbeitungsmaschine.

Geophysical assessment and geotechnical investigation of quick-clay landslides – a Swedish case study

We present a preliminary assessment of the potential utility of various geophysical measurements carried out over a quick-clay landslide site in south-west Sweden. The multidisciplinary approach includes active P- and S-wave seismic investigations, including 2D and 3D reflection and refraction surveys, passive single and 3C seismic surveys, electrical resistivity tomography and electromagnetic surveys including controlled-source and radio-magnetotellurics, ground-penetrating radar and potential field studies. The P-wave and particularly S-wave reflection seismic data show a highresolution image of bedrock topography and the stratigraphy of a 100 m thick sequence of sediments that lies on top, which include lightly consolidated quick-clays. Of particular interest is the identification of a layer of relatively coarse-grained material between 10–20 m below the ground surface. Geotechnical investigations indicate that most but not all quick-clays at the site are located above this layer. Further studies are required to determine the importance of their relationship and whether the coarse-grained layer may have had a role in triggering quick-clay landslides in the region. Geoelectrical and electromagnetic methods provide high-resolution images of the unconsolidated subsurface and particularly the normal and leached clays. Radio-magnetotelluric methods proved valuable near the river where traditional geoelectrical methods failed to provide sufficient depth coverage. The study shows that geophysical data are able to image major subsurface structures associated with quick-clay landslides.
