Inhomogeneous Wave Equation, Liénard-Wiechert Potentials, and Hertzian Dipole in Weber Electrodynamics
Authors: Kühn Steffen
Published: November 2022

Aiming to bypass the Lorentz force, this study analyzes Maxwell's equations from the perspective of a receiver at rest. This approach is necessary because experimental results suggest that the general validity of the Lorentz force might be questionable in non-stationary cases. Calculations in the receiver's rest frame are complicated and, thus, are rarely performed. In particular, the most important case is missing: namely, the solution of a Hertzian dipole moving in the rest frame of the receiver. The present article addresses this knowledge gap. First, this work demonstrates how the inhomogeneous wave equation can be derived and generically solved in the rest frame of the receiver. Subsequently, the solution for two uniformly moving point charges is derived, and the close connection between Maxwell's equations and Weber electrodynamics is highlighted. The gained insights are then applied to compute the far-field solution of a moving Hertzian dipole in the receiver's rest frame. The resulting solution is analyzed, and an explanation is presented regarding why an invariant and symmetric wave equation is possible for Weber electrodynamics and why the invariance could be the consequence of a quantum effect.
Grid Strength Assessment for 100% Inverter-Based Power Systems via Generalized Short-Circuit Ratio
Authors: Ma Fuyilong , Xin Huanhai , Wu Di , Liu Yun
Published: November 2022

 Grid strength is important for the identification of potential weak grid issues, such as sub/super-synchronous oscillation instability. However, the existing techniques for grid strength assessment require the presence of synchronous generators as the source of grid voltage support. Therefore, they are not applicable to the 100% inverter-based power system, where all synchronous generators are displaced by inverter-based apparatuses. Moreover, it is challenging for these techniques to identify the weak grid issues in such a system while considering the complex interaction between power networks and different inverter control configurations (e.g., grid-forming (GFM) and grid-following (GFL) inverters). This paper proposes a method for grid strength assessment in terms of small-disturbance stability in a 100% inverter-based power system. Specifically, we first analyze the voltage support characteristics of typical GFM inverters, revealing that the GFM inverter can be represented by an equivalent Thevenin circuit with an additional shunt admittance to characterize the inverter dynamics. By interconnecting the equivalent GFM inverter models with the GFL inverter models via power networks, we then formulate the linearized model for a 100% inverter-based power system to analyze its small-disturbance stability. It is found that our previously developed generalized short-circuit ratio (gSCR) can be extended to assess the grid strength of such a system, thus significantly reducing the complexity of system stability analysis. The gSCR-based method is proposed and its effectiveness is demonstrated by comparing the results of eigenvalue analysis to those of electromagnetic transient simulation in a modified IEEE 39-bus system. 
“RobOstrich” Manipulator: A Novel Mechanical Design and Control based on the Anatomy and Behavior of an Ostrich Neck
Authors: Nakano Kazashi
Published: November 2022

This study provides a novel mechanical design and a control law for tendon-driven flexible manipulator based on the anatomy of an ostrich neck.

We carried out a dissection of ostrich neck which clarified muscle attachment site and cross-sectional views of the neck.

We proposed a novel wire arrangement and control method, that performs the same movement as the ostrich's neck by integrating our findings from the dissection with previous studies on bird's necks.

The implemented manipulator showed that morphology, such as joint angle limit and muscle-tendon arrangement, provides dexterity and structural stability to flexible manipulators.

These results are suggestive for biology because they indicate that actual birds may also use the proposed mechanism and control laws.

Authors: Papadopoulou Aikaterini , Grace Carl , Denes Peter , Hermiz John
Published: November 2022

The complexity of information processing in the brain requires development of technologies that can provide spatial and temporal resolution by means of dense electrode arrays paired with high-channel-count signal acquisition electronics. In this work, we present a modular 512-channel neural recording circuit that is scalable to up to 4096 simultaneously recording channels. The neural readout application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) uses a dense 8.2 mm x 6.8 mm 2D-layout to enable high-channel-count, creating an ultralight 350 mg flexible module. The module can be deployed on headstages for small animals like rodents and songbirds, and can be integrated with a variety of electrode arrays.

The chip was fabricated in a 0.18 μm 1.8-V CMOS technology and dissipates a total of 125 mW. Each DC coupled channel features a gain and bandwidth programmable analog front-end, along with 14b analog-to-digital conversion at speeds up to 30 kS/s. Additionally, each front-end includes programmable electrode plating and electrode impedance measurement capability. We present both standalone and in vivo measurements results, demonstrating readout of spikes and field potentials that are modulated by a sensory input.
Quantum Approach to Satellite Image Data Compression and Analysis
Authors: Majji Sathwik Reddy , Chalumuri Avinash , BS Manoj
Published: November 2022

Due to the rapid development of satellite imaging sensors, high-resolution images are being generated for use. Various image processing algorithms, such as deep learning models, require images of reduced sizes given the computational constraints. Hence, preprocessing the images to reduce their size is crucial for any deep learning model. This paper proposes a novel approach to compress satellite images using quantum computing. A comparative study on different standard data embedding techniques used in quantum computing is undertaken. We propose four quantum compression techniques (𝑄𝐶𝑇s) by extending the unitary operations of amplitude encoding for compressing satellite images. The proposed methods provide exponential scaling as amplitude encoding is used, where 2𝑛 classical data values are encoded into 𝑛 qubits. Compression performance, visual evaluation, and quality metric evaluation were carried out to assess the proposed compression techniques. Our experimental results showed that the crucial patterns in images are retained in the compressed images without quality loss even after 75% compression. The compressed images can be used for post-processing tasks such as classification using classical or quantum computing algorithms.
Transfer Learning for the Behavior Prediction of Microwave Structures
Authors: Ma Jiteng , Dang Shuping , Li Peizheng , Watkins Gavin , Morris Kevin , Beach Mark
Published: November 2022

Microwave structures behavior prediction is an important research topic in radio frequency (RF) design. In recent years, deep-learning-based techniques have been widely implemented to study microwaves, and they are envisaged to revolutionize this arduous and time-consuming work. However, empirical data collection and neural network training are two significant challenges of applying deep learning techniques to practical RF modeling and design problems. To this end, this letter investigates a transfer-learning-based approach to improve the accuracy and efficiency of predicting microwave structure behaviors. Through experimental comparisons, we validate that the proposed approach can reduce the amount of data required for training while shortening the neural network training time for the behavior prediction of microwave structures. 
Comparing Techniques for Class Imbalance in Deep Learning Classification of Breast Cancer
Authors: Walsh Ricky , Tardy Mickael
Published: November 2022

Tools based on deep learning models have been created in recent years to aid radiologists in the diagnosis of breast cancer from mammograms. However, the datasets used to train these models may suffer from class imbalance, i.e., there are often fewer malignant samples than benign or healthy, which can bias the model towards the healthy class. In this study, we systematically evaluate several popular techniques to deal with this class imbalance, namely, class weighting, over-sampling, and under-sampling, as well as a synthetic lesion generation approach to increase the number of malignant samples. These techniques are applied when training on three diverse Full-Field Digital Mammography datasets, and tested on in-distribution and out-of-distribution samples. The experiments show that a greater imbalance is associated with a greater bias towards the majority class, which can be counteracted by any of the standard class imbalance techniques. On the other hand, these methods provide no benefit to model performance with respect to Area Under the Curve of the Recall Operating Characteristic (AUC-ROC), and indeed under-sampling leads to a reduction of 0.066 in AUC in the case of a 19:1 benign to malignant imbalance. Our synthetic lesion methodology leads to better performance in most cases, with increases of up to 0.07 in AUC on out-of-distribution test sets over the next best experiment.
Time-Domain Meshless Method Simulation of Metasurfaces with Generalized Sheet Transition Conditions
Authors: Shams Sheyda , Mohajeri Farzad , Movahhedi Masoud
Published: November 2022

This paper presents a time-domain formulation of a meshless method based on the generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs). This formulation is applicable for modeling a kind of dispersive metasurface and a time-varying metasurface. This is the first time a meshless method is developed for analysis of the metasurfaces using GSTCs. The significance of time-domain meshless methods originates from their capabilities for multi-scale and conformal modeling in addition to analysis of problems in a broad frequency-range. Here, for simplicity, the meshless method formulation is presented for analysis of 1-D problems consisting of metasurfaces which are monoisotropic. The extension of this method to 2-D and 3-D problems and bianisotropic metasurfaces is straightforward. The efficiency of the proposed formulations is verified by numerical examples. 
A Slice of Trispectrum for Patterns of Modulation
Authors: Kovach Christopher K.
Published: November 2022

Modulation can be identified in a signal from correlations of power across frequencies. Resolving power over time and frequency using standard techniques of bandpass filtering and squaring creates bias: filtering presupposes a timescale and bandwidth for modulation, while squaring complicates separation from noise. Higher-order spectra (HOS) can be used to estimate power correlations without bias. HOS are not widely familiar because their meaning is thought to be obscure. A natural interpretation of the fourth-order spectrum (trispectrum) as a measure of linear relationships between power across frequencies is explained. This interpretation motivates a new tool, the modulogram, for identifying various types of modulation. The modulogram can be further decomposed into a low-dimensional feature space describing characteristic patterns of modulation. These developments are demonstrated with the blind identification of beta burst in rodent local field potential (LFP) recordings.
A Wearable All-Printed Textile-Based 6.78 MHz 15 W-Output Wireless Power Transfer System and its Screen-Printed Joule Heater Application
Authors: Wagih Mahmoud , Komolafe Abiodun , Weddell Alex S. , Beeby Steve
Published: November 2022

While research in passive flexible circuits for Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) such as coils and resonators continues to advance, limitations in their power handling and low efficiency have hindered the realization of efficient all-printed high-power wearable WPT receivers. Here, we propose a screen-printed textile-based 6.78 MHz resonant inductive WPT system using planar inductors with concealed metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tuning capacitors. A printed voltage doubler rectifier based on Silicon Carbide (SiC) diodes is designed and integrated with the coils, showing a power conversion efficiency of 80-90% for inputs between 2 and 40 W. Compared to prior wearable WPT receivers, it offers an order of magnitude improvement in power handling along with higher efficiency (approaching 60%), while using all-printed passives and a compact rectifier. The coils exhibit a simulated Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) under 0.4 W/kg for 25 W received power, and under 21◦C increase in the coils’ temperature for a 15 W DC output. We finally demonstrate a wirelessly-powered textilebased carbon-silver Joule heater, capable of reaching up to 60◦C at 2 cm separation from the transmitter, as a potential wearable application which can only be wireless-powered using the proposed system. 
Impact of Uncertainty on Optimal Battery Dispatch for Arbitrage and Peak Shaving: From Perspectives of Analytical Solutions and Examples
Authors: Su Hao , Feng Donghan , Zhou Yun , Yi Yin , Li Kele
Published: November 2022

Uncertain renewable power generation and on-site demand would complicate battery operation and affect profitability. In this paper, a novel battery scheduling model is proposed for maximizing arbitrage benefits while meeting the peak shaving requirements. The proposed model features accurate expectations and is essentially a stochastic optimization accounting for uncertainty. The convexity of the proposed model is strictly proved, which ensures that the global optimal solution is obtainable and computationally attractive. Based on the firstorder optimality condition, we further derive the analytical form of the optimal solution, which explicitly demonstrates the impact of uncertainty on the optimal dispatch of battery storage. Both the convexity and the solution stability of the proposed model are verified through extensive case studies involving various time periods and multiple algorithms for convex optimization. In addition, the change in the trade-off price threshold caused by uncertainty is also illustrated in simulations.

 
Community Battery Management using Reinforcement Learning in a residential scenario
Authors: Cruz José Pedro , Guerreiro Sérgio
Published: November 2022

The increasing interest in the residential renewable energy sources leveraged the development of the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) ecosystems that allow the losses mitigation caused by the lack of intelligent storage of unused energy. BESS's have reduced user's costs by storing the overproduced energy by the renewable sources and using it when the demand was bigger than the production. Despite that, cost minimizing can yet be improved by applying a Energy Management System (EMS) which takes in consideration several factors and draws a policy to reduce costs. Model-based approaches have been thought as a solution but the increasing complexity of the models turned the researchers into a model-free direction using Reinforcement Learning. This paper creates an innovative agent, trained by Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithms, capable of reducing the costs in a building. A literature review of other approaches, a solution formulation to solve the problem, and evaluation using synthetic data and data supplied by an energy company are contained. Furthermore, evaluation scenarios and techniques that can lead to agent' instability are mentioned. Results indicate that the agent has better performance in terms of revenue when compared with the same BESS operation without the agent. 
On the Optimal Power Allocation at the MAC layer in the Asymptotic and in the Finite Blocklength
Authors: Bello Mouktar , Chorti Arsenia , Fijalkow Inbar
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we investigate the optimal power allocation at the MAC layer in both the asymptotic and the finite blocklength regimes in a two-user NOMA uplink network, under statistical delay constraints captured through the link-layer rate. Using the link-layer effective rate analytic expressions, we provide closed-form expressions of the optimal power coefficients in low and high signal-to-ratio (SNR) regimes. These are validated by an extensive set of simulations, showing that that the proposed power allocation policy optimizes the performance of NOMA compared to OMA at Layer 2.

Distributed cloud services have opened the door to easy use and integration of extensive IT services without much manual effort, which is possible with the help of open source communities. However, some enterprises do not see cloud services as a trusted or secure option for their data, so cloud service providers (CSP's) are considering hybrid solutions as a trend. In general, we can see that these distributions are converging in recent years, and enterprises tend to choose the public cloud as a deployment model. This convergence makes any comparison a difficult task. In this study, we will attempt to develop a general comparison method for cloud services and Hadoop distributions that can serve as a basis for future comparison studies."}]}This research will focus on the differences and similarities between the various  distributions on-premises or in the cloud.

Authors: Gunjal Hardik , Patel Preetkumar , Ebrahimi Dr Dariush
Published: November 2022

The industrial sector has been making use of machines and sensors having the capability to communicate with each other. This forms a network of Industrial devices which is called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). IIoT is an emerging trend that can generate a huge amount of data that is vulnerable to cyber-attacks. In IIoT network, data and control instructions flow through Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. A Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) which can monitor realtime network traffic could be deployed between SCADA and the IIoT devices to detect cyber-attacks. NIDS with Deep Learning (DL) algorithms require large dataset for which CSE-CIC-IDS2018 and UNSW-NB15 dataset is used. The paper compares a Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP), a Fully Connected Deep Neural Network (FCNN), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) on CSE-CIC-IDS2018 and UNSW-NB15 with XGBoost for feature selection.
Evaluation of Communication and Human Response Latency for (Human) Teleoperation
Authors: Black David , Andjelic Dragan , Salcudean Septimiu
Published: November 2022

We previously introduced a novel mixed reality (MR) teleguidance system, human teleoperation [1,2], in which a human (expert) leader and a human (novice) follower are tightly coupled through MR and haptics for applications such as tele-ultrasound. In this paper, a communication system suitable for human teleoperation is presented and characterized in various network conditions, over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, and 5G. To study all types of latency in the system, the human response time is additionally characterized through step response tests with 11 volunteers. The step responses were obtained by tracking the position and force of the human hand in response to a change in the MR target.

The round-trip communication latency is 40+/-10 ms over 5G, and down to 1+/-0.6 ms over Ethernet for typical throughputs. The human response time to a step change in position depends on the step magnitude, but is 485-535 ms, while the reaction time for forces is 150-200 ms. Both lags are decreased when tracking smooth motions. Thus, we demonstrate that the system is network agnostic and can achieve good teleoperation performance and secure, fast communication in appropriate network conditions. The presented tools and concepts are applicable to any high-performance teleoperation system, for example for remote surgery.
Human-as-a-Robot Performance in Augmented Reality Teleultrasound
Authors: Black David , Moradi Hamid , Salcudean Septimiu
Published: November 2022

 Purpose: In “human teleoperation” [1], augmented reality (AR) and haptics are used to tightly couple an expert leader to a human follower. To determine the feasibility of human teleoperation, we quantify the abil- ity of humans to track a position and/or force trajectory via AR cues. The human response time, precision, frequency response, and step response were characterized, and several rendering methods were compared. 

Methods: Volunteers (n=11) performed a series of tasks as the fol- lower in our human teleoperation system. The tasks involved tracking pre-recorded series of motions and forces, each time with a different rendering method. The order of tasks and rendering methods was ran- domized to avoid learning effects and bias. The volunteers then performed a series of frequency response tests and filled out a questionnaire. 

Results: Rendering the full ultrasound probe as a position target with an error bar displaying force led to the best position and force tracking. Following force and pose simultaneously was more difficult but did not lead to significant performance degradation versus following one at a time. On average, subjects tracked positions, orientations, and forces with rms tracking errors of 6.2 ± 1.9 mm, 5.9 ± 1.9˚, 1.0 ± 0.3 N, steady-state errors of 2.8 ± 2.1 mm, 0.26 ± 0.2 N, and lags of 345.5 ± 87.6 ms respectively. Performance decreased with input frequency, until the person could no longer follow, depending on the input amplitude. 

Conclusion: This paper characterizes human tracking ability in aug- mented reality human teleoperation, which shows the system’s feasi- bility and good performance, and is important for designing future human computer interfaces using augmented and virtual reality. 
Exploring the Role of Language Families for Building Indic Speech Synthesisers
Authors: Prakash Anusha , Murthy Hema A
Published: November 2022

Building end-to-end speech synthesisers for Indian languages is challenging, given the lack of adequate clean training data and multiple grapheme representations across languages. This work explores the importance of training multilingual and multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) systems based on language families. Such a study is crucial not only from a low resource perspective but also to reduce the overall consumption of computing power. 

TTS systems are trained separately for Indo-Aryan and Dravidian language families, and their performance is compared to that of a combined Indo-Aryan+Dravidian voice. We also investigate the amount of training data required for a language in a multilingual setting. We want to see if we can do more with less data without compromising the quality and intelligibility of the synthesised speech. The voices are easily extendable to new languages with limited data. Same-family and cross-family synthesis and adaptation to new languages are analysed. The analyses show that language family-wise training of Indic systems is the way forward for the Indian subcontinent, where a large number of languages are spoken.

Delitto, pena e comunità
Authors: Palazzo Francesco
Published: November 2022

After outlining the characteristics of the idea of community in postmodernity, the paper examines the role assumed by community in the world of crime and punishment. In the relationship with crime, the community is considered essentially on the level of criminogenesis, as a factor that can contribute to the production of the crime. In the relationship with punishment, the community plays a decisive role in the perspective of resocialising finalism, both at the ideological-political level and at the executive and penitentiary level.
I limiti alla fruizione individuale dei beni culturali: una testimonianza di civiltà nella democrazia della cultura
Authors: Zecchi Alessandro
Published: November 2022

Despite the need to liberalise the use and reproduction of the image of cultural heritage repeatedly identified in supranational legislation, the Italian legislator, in Legislative Decree 177/2021, preferred to keep the authorisation procedure established by the Cultural Heritage Code. Considering this choice, we have to ask ourselves if it represents a legislative resistance to the ‘democracy of culture’ or if, on the contrary, oxymoron of a ‘granted culture’ is still today the only instrument able to guarantee and safeguard the «memory of the national community».
Incertezze giurisprudenziali sul momento di produzione degli effetti della sentenza civile
Authors: Simoncini Francesco Maria
Published: November 2022

The paper analyses the state of the jurisprudence of legitimacy on the issue of when a civil judgment produces its declaratory and constitutive effects. After reconstructing the main interventions on the two "systems of rules" that have allowed the Court to take a position on this question (Article 282 of the Code of Civil Procedure, on the provisional enforceability of the judgment, and the provisions on the suspension of proceedings, useful for identifying the moment in which the extra-trial constraint of the decision is triggered), the author notes the existence of contradictions between jurisprudential orientations, not yet completely overcome. Finally, some problematic reflections are made on a possible research itinerary regarding the “soft” effectiveness of the non-final civil judgment.

Overseas, Chinese schools have always been an important pillar for the inheritance ofChinese culture and a cultural fortress for the local Chinese. Chinese schools can systematicallyand gradually carry out mother tongue and mother culture education according to the agecharacteristics of teenagers and children, so they can most effectively inherit the excellentChinese culture. Malaysian Chinese Independent Secondary School (referred to as theIndependent Secondary School) is the general name of the secondary schools sponsored,maintained and founded by the Malaysian civil Chinese society. The establishment of HuawenIndependent Middle School is to shoulder the educational task of developing the mother tongueeducation of the Chinese nation, inheriting the Chinese nation's culture, cultivating the childrenof the nation, and serving as the national reserve. Chinese independent secondary schools insiston using Chinese as the main teaching medium and using Chinese teaching materials,establishing that Chinese secondary schools are the continuation of Chinese primary educationand a consistent mother tongue education system. According to the hierarchy theory oforganizational culture, this paper takes Chinese independent middle school as the research object,and focuses on analyzing the internal structure of Chinese independent middle school'sorganizational culture and the inheritance relationship of Chinese culture. The internal structure of the organizational culture of Chinese independent middle school can be divided into materiallevel culture construction, behavior level culture construction, system level culture constructionand spiritual level culture construction. By analyzing the cultural construction of each layer, wecan see how each layer of culture inherits and spreads Chinese culture by building theorganizational culture of Chinese independent middle schools. The organizational cultureconstruction of Chinese independent middle schools is closely related to the inheritance ofChinese culture, which can promote the people-to-people bonds in the construction of the "Beltand Road".Keywords: Chinese independent middle school; dissemination of Chinese culture; organizationalculture; cultural construction; people-to-people bonds
The Use of ICT for the Teaching and Learning of English as a Second Language in Nigeria: The "What", "Why", and "How"
Authors: Ojoo Saidu Yahaya
Published: November 2022

In language teaching, the use of computers has been on since before the coming of the internet. Later computer assisted language learning (CALL) developed and concerned itself with the pedagogical applications of the technology. Information Communication Technology (IT) which is an offshoot of science through its internet and computer-mediated communication (CMC) has gone beyond science to broaden the lexical inventories of the English language. It is against this backdrop that this paper tends to conduct a study on computer-mediated communication with a focus on the teaching and learning of the English language in Nigeria. The study aims to bring to the fore the issues and challenges associated with this new normal. The study also examines the benefits associated with the use of this technology in the teaching and learning of the English language. The study also employs Direct Participatory Observation and a questionnaire as means of gathering data for the research. Famous Mclunnham’s Technological Determinism Theory was employed as the theoretical framework of analysis. On the whole, the paper discovered among other things that the use of CMC made students confident and gives them the zeal of being online and wanting to discover and learn via the medium of computer-mediated communication. The study concludes that the use of this method of teaching and learning English in Nigeria has to be encouraged for efficiency and exactness for both in the teaching and learning of English in Nigeria. Solutions and recommendations were proffered to ameliorate the challenges associated with the use of these technological devices.
