Remote sensing image classification based on non-linear enhanced attention mechanism
Authors: Yuan Zhengwu , Chen Qiang , Shao Wen , Yang Zhiwei
Published: October 2024

In recent years, Transformer technology has gradually shown promising applications in the field of computer vision, becoming a research hotspot. However, traditional vision Transformers suffer from significant computational burdens. Although previous studies have attempted to alleviate this issue by reducing the computational load of attention mechanisms, their methods still require improvement. Additionally, past research often overlooked the non-linear representation of values within attention mechanisms, posing another challenge to address. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel attention mechanism aimed at reducing the computational burden of traditional attention mechanisms while enhancing their ability to express non-linearities in values. Furthermore, conventional feedforward neural networks typically output results directly after passing through an activation function, which may limit the model’s representational capacity due to the simplistic structure leading to singular feature information. To address this issue, this study introduces a more robust feature fusion convolutional feedforward network. Through these methods, the aim is to enhance the accuracy of Transformers in the field of remote-sensing image classification.
A star selection strategy based on MDS and fast convex hull algorithm in COSPAS-SARSAT system
Authors: Zhu Xun , Zhao Laiding , Zhang Gengxin
Published: October 2024

The space segment of the current COSPAS-SARSAT system is mainly supported by the Galileo system, and the positioning technology used is generally three-star time-difference positioning. Most of the antennas equipped in the Mission Control Centre (MCC) are not omnidirectional. In the case of Source of Search and Rescue (SAR) in a heavily shaded environment, it is necessary to use the different orbit time-sharing single satellite geolocations using TDOA, and the time-sharing will generate more satellite position data. In order to achieve the higher positioning accuracy of the solution, it is necessary to select the appropriate time and optimal geometrical distribution from the satellite positions. In this paper, we propose a satellite selection strategy based on Multiple Dimensional scaling (MDS) data degradation and a fast convex hull algorithm. The three-dimensional satellite data are downscaled to two-dimensional while maintaining their relative positional relationships, and the two-dimensional convex hull algorithm is used for Geometric Dilution of Precision (GDOP) minimum search star selection. By simulating the satellite position data in different orbits and time-sharing to complete the localization solution, the results show that compared with the traditional satellite selection method, the satellite selection strategy proposed in this paper is able to achieve better localization accuracy in a shorter period of time.
Fixed-wing UAV obstacle avoidance algorithm based on real terrain
Authors: Mao Zhiyun , Mo Li
Published: October 2024

This paper presents an obstacle avoidance algorithm for UAVs based on real terrain constraints. The common obstacle avoidance algorithm often abstracts the obstacle as a sphere or a circle or studies the UAV’s two-dimensional obstacle avoidance on a raster map. With the development of fixed-wing UAVs, UAVs have longer and longer time in the air, longer and longer range, and the low-altitude environment they face is often difficult to simulate with simplified regular shape. Thus, this paper constructs the UAV flight terrain environment using open elevation data and designs an obstacle avoidance algorithm accordingly. When the UAV is tracking the track point, it can better control the UAV to avoid obstacles and fly to the target track point.

Published: October 2024

Based on the dynamic cabin emergency evacuation tests environment, emergency evacuation tests under adverse attitude landing conditions are studied. The relation between average velocity and average heart rate under horizontal conditions is achieved by means of fitting test data. The test results show that cabin adverse attitude can both affect the move state and psychology of test members. The change trend of move velocity is different from heart rate change and displays a large difference. Change coefficient correlation with psychology is put forward and the relation with pitch and roll angle is attained by fitting the test data. This coefficient can be used to simulate the scared state at simulation adverse attitude emergency evacuation. The test also demonstrates the behavior of the test member can be analyzed by measuring biological parameters and providing a reference for building or modifying the emergency evacuation simulation model.
Based on coverage evaluation design method study of factor low-orbit infrared remote sensing constellation configuration
Authors: Yin Zhiyong , Liu Yuntian , Yao Liang
Published: October 2024

To satisfy the infrared detection coverage demands of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites in global missile surveillance, we have devised a comprehensive evaluation system for global missile infrared remote sensing coverage performance. By referencing Walker’s extensive and uninterrupted global coverage constellation layout, we conducted a thorough analysis of various constellation configuration parameters. This analysis aimed to assess the coverage efficiency of differently configured LEO networking satellites. Following a detailed comparative analysis, we settled on an LEO infrared remote sensing constellation configuration featuring an orbit height of 1150 km and an orbit inclination of 60°. After an in-depth examination of the capabilities of the infrared remote sensing constellation and the characteristics of the detection zone, we constructed a Blind Spot Compensation Constellation. This was achieved by integrating four additional LEO satellites with a 0° orbit inclination to bolster coverage in low-latitude regions. Using our comprehensive coverage evaluation system, we rigorously evaluated the ground coverage capabilities of multiple constellations. Notably, the Blind Spot Compensation Constellation achieved impressive coverage, reaching 100%, and excelled particularly in the latitude belt of 20° or less. Although the Original Constellation performed better in the 40° latitude belt compared to the Blind Spot Compensation Constellation, it showed some deficiencies in coverage at a 50 km altitude. Specifically, it averaged 18.417 gaps per day, with a coverage rate slightly below 100%. However, it achieved full coverage at other altitudes. To validate our findings, we conducted scenario simulations. For missile targets, the Original Constellation offered a maximum coverage multiplicity of 6, with a total access duration of 4539.1 seconds. On the other hand, the Blind Spot Compensation Constellation boasted a maximum coverage multiplicity of 8, with a total access duration of 5465.9 seconds. Importantly, both constellations fully covered the missile’s entire 1056-second lifecycle, showcasing commendable performance. In conclusion, the LEO infrared remote sensing constellation and its complementary counterpart, developed and rigorously tested in this study, not only meet the demands of continuous global detection but also cater to the priority detection needs of diverse geographical regions.

Authors: Dharmatanna S W , Wijaya E S , Wijaya B C
Published: October 2024

Indonesia is an archipelago country that encompasses many different ethnicities across five large islands, one of which is Kalimantan (Borneo) Island. The river has become the lifeline in Borneo, especially for Banjar people. Banjar people have eleven types of traditional houses, each designed for specific social classes, which differ from one another in terms of materials, layout, and roof proportions. In this paper, three different types of Banjar traditional houses are compared to study the passive cooling conditions related to the proportions of the floor plan and cross-section. These three types are: (1) Bubungan Tinggi House, (2) Palimbangan House, and (3) Lanting House. The three types of houses are modelled and simulated using RWIND CFD software, by inputting the maximum and minimum wind speed (3.5 and 17 m/s), to study the potential of imitating vernacular forms that assures effective passive cooling. The result is that the Palimbangan house has the most balanced passive cooling performance through wind movements and direction. The findings could serve as an alternative for application in modern housing architecture that is sustainable and energy-efficient.

Authors: Bunaren Florencia Eflata , Dewi Ova Candra , Salsabila Nisrina Dewi
Published: October 2024

The amount of energy consumption in the building sector has led to the concept of green buildings. This concept is more familiar with focusing on technical aspects, where, in fact, the factor that causes the amount of energy consumption comes from the human factor. This paper aims to examine green behavior in the consumption of electrical energy in green buildings. The case study used is the FTUI i-CELL Building, which is a green building. The method used is a literature study and a questionnaire to find the potential for behavior change, savings, and challenges or obstacles from the perspective of users and managers. Based on the study’s results, the building users’ role can provide potential savings in the coverage of cooling, lighting, and electrical equipment that is greater than that of the manager. it was found that green behavior by users of the building could save 26.60%-36.55% of the energy consumption, whereas behavior by building managers only saved 8.73%-23.67%. Even so, both of them still have to work together to achieve savings in electricity consumption through green behavior. This is because the manager has an important role, such as equipment maintenance, which can affect electricity consumption. In addition, in achieving potential savings, both users and managers experience challenges or obstacles in terms of knowledge, norms, and perceptions of control that shape green behavior in electricity consumption. Suggestions for further development are adding simulation to determine the amount of savings and identify the correlation and significance of knowledge, norms, and perceptions of control that play a role in shaping green behavior.

Published: October 2024

In the master plan of Trisakti University Nagrak Campus, the criteria for sustainable buildings are mandatory in its planning. One of the facilities in the master plan is the Lecturer Housing. In the modern era, sustainable housing design is needed because of the high energy consumption in modern housing design. This study aims to determine optimal strategies for implementing the Sustainable housing concept in lecturer housing design. Simulation methods are applied using Autodesk Revit to create the lecturer housing design. BIM models are more accurately analyzed and support the idea of more sustainable designs. Based on the simulation, the maximum power obtained from Photovoltaics is 26.181 kWh/year, saving Energy by IDR 62,102,167.05 on a payback period of 15 years. This design can also harvest 20.174,062 Liters of rainwater per year. In addition, applying solar chimneys maximized the penetration of natural daylight and cross ventilation process. Based on the modeling findings, it is evident that the average building daylight factor is 6.5%, above the minimum need of 5%, which will decrease reliance on artificial lighting during daylight hours. The fin-shaped shading device mechanism can reduce direct sunlight’s glare and radiation, increasing the reflected light that touches the side of the structure. When dealing with big openings, fin shading devices are utilized to get the optimal opening height-to-shade length ratio of 3:2. The rainwater harvesting management system is well-suited for toilet flushing and plant irrigation, and implementing bio pores may significantly enhance excess rainwater soil penetration., and maximize sustainable housing design.

Authors: Rahardjo Astrid Hapsari , Anggraini Afikha , Liana Mei
Published: October 2024

The built environment has a profound effect on its users, both psychologically and physiologically. These effects must be taken into consideration within the designers’ thinking process to achieve a resulting design that will not only accommodate the users’ spatial functional requirements but also provide comfort, specifically in the case of this research, through visual sensory points. One of the many benefits of the biophilic design concept is to shift the human psychological state from negative to positive. This design concept has been profoundly implemented in the Taman Literasi Martha Christina Tiahahu, Jakarta. This study uses Taman Literasi Martha Tiahahu (Martha Tiahahu Literary Park) as its object with the purpose of investigating the psychological effect of the Biophilic design concept on the park’s observers through physiological evidence. The study uses the latest biophilic theory of the 14 Biophilic Patterns by William Browning (2014) to identify the biophilic elements found in the park. These elements are documented and matched with which of the 14 patterns mentioned in the theory. This study uses 30 participants to partake in the study, in which their psychological conditions are measured by filling out questionnaires. Their physiological conditions, through blood pressure and heart rate, are measured. The results of this study work in favour of the emotional state shift from negative to positive on its users when experiencing the biophilic spaces.

Published: October 2024

As a space whose function is prioritized for speeches, the auditorium must respond well to acoustics so that listeners get audibly comfortable when listening to speakers speak. In this study, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Auditorium located in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences will be simulated to determine the acoustic quality of the auditorium. The method used is simulation using Ecotect software. The simulation is done by creating a 3D model and inputting several parameters, such as the absorption coefficient of the material used in the auditorium and the placement of speakers in it. This simulation determines the reverberation time, the initial decay time, or how long the room muffles the sound after the sound source stops, and the sound distribution produced by the sound source or speaker in the room. Based on the simulation results, the acoustic quality of the JICA auditorium is good. This is due to several factors, such as the selection of materials with a high absorption coefficient on the back wall and the shape of the room design, which uses geometric shapes with zigzag patterns on the ceiling and walls, as well as the slope used on the floor and ceiling.
Benefits derived from WASP (a Grasshopper plugin) to Design for Disassembly Principles in the Built Environment
Authors: Vahdati Farkhondeh , Tedjosaputro Mia
Published: October 2024

Design for Disassembly (DfD, henceforth) is a way to improve the effectiveness of the disassembly process in built environments, and it mainly contains ten principles. Examples of the principles include deconstruction techniques; selected materials; reachable connections; utilizing connections with fewer bolts, screws, and nails; the straightforwardness of the structure and design; and versatility. On the other hand, the WASP plugin for Grasshopper (on Rhinocheros©) is a toolkit for discrete computational design to simulate the aggregation and assembly possibilities in the building system. This paper explores the integration of the WASP plugin within the context of DfD through three criteria: the aggregation processes of part geometries, connection locations, and their orientation toward the building elements. Design with discrete elements, which can be defined as shape grammars for building structure, is the primary approach for the joining behavior and detaching behavior of elements discussed in this paper. Also, this type of component-based design can optimize the geometry and data-driven generation of the structure. The design process in this way can be disassembly sequence planning and knowledge-based design by applying the design constraints. To illustrate the integration, research is conducted through WASP simulation in designing a traditional Iranian timber pavilion-inspired structure with a 3×3m footprint in a roof structure. The fusion of WASP and DfD represents a promising avenue for advancing circular design principles and achieving more sustainable, resource-efficient buildings. It is concluded from this study that WASP makes the aggregation simulation and assembly possibilities of the vertical and horizontal components in a building more accessible.

Published: October 2024

Mitigation is a step to reduce the risk of disasters in a particular area. Tanjung Mas sub-district is an area that has a high potential for land subsidence and tidal flooding because it is located on the North Coast of Java. Temporary evacuation points are urgently needed to protect residents from the dangers of tidal floods and distribute logistics from volunteers. Based on community preferences, the Green Open Space in Tambak Lorok are used as an evacuation point for flood disasters. The green open space, which was initially used for sustainable water absorption, was converted into an evacuation point as a flood disaster mitigation measure. This research aims to measure the suitability of green open space as a temporary evacuation site. The research method used is a Space Syntax approach and qualitative description analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, almost all the requirements for evacuation places by the green open space location. It is easily accessible because it is on the primary residential route, easily accessible by vehicles, and has building structures higher than the road. However, the area of green open space still needs to be increased for the minimum standard capacity per person. Apart from that, the infrastructure to support evacuation, such as electricity, communication equipment, or rubber boats, needs to be improved. The construction of green open space as a temporary evacuation site needs to be adjusted to minimum standards and the needs of the population. It is also hoped that the development of green open space will be the responsibility of not only the government but also cooperation between stakeholders. Green open space isn’t just for environment impacts, but can also increase the community resilience.

Madura’s Vernacular Architecture, known as Taneyan Lanjhang (TL), serves as a subject of study, illustrating how the local Madurese community has adapted to modernization across various aspects, such as building function, employment types, and lifestyle. These adaptations have resulted in a diversity that is now evident in the Madurese vernacular community. This preliminary research aims to discuss and propose the categorization of TL houses based on surveys and their developments within each category, contributing to the sustainable development of communities in broader research. Data collection for residential houses involved observing a village in Alang Alang, Bangkalan District of Madura, and conducting in-depth interviews for selected representative study cases. Environmental measurements were also performed to assess building performance and identify evidence of lifestyle changes. The gathered information and collected data were subsequently discussed through descriptive correlational analysis to elucidate variables and their relationships. The paper’s objective is to identify developmental aspects and factors involved in TL. The results classify TL based on changes in physical appearance and spatial elements. Among the 30 houses investigated, three categories emerged in TL conditions: 1) Traditional type: TL houses that have retained their authenticity since their construction. 2) Transition type: TL that combines traditional and modern elements, preserving classical aspects while adapting to new lifestyles. 3) Modernized type: TL that has undergone significant architectural transformations reflecting local expertise and acculturation of global influences, particularly from Islamic, Chinese, and Western-style architectures.

Published: October 2024

Van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions formed by stacking different layers of two-dimensional atomic crystals with atomically sharp interface and versatile band alignment have been considered as promising candidates for construction of nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices. Here, we demonstrate the electrically reconfigurable behavior in MoO3/indium selenide (InSe) vdW heterojunction with a type-III broken-gap band alignment. The electrical reconfigurability is enabled by the ambipolar transport property of InSe, which is achieved through the use of Pt as contact electrodes. By electrostatically doping the InSe, the reconfigurable MoO3/InSe heterojunctions can be converted between p-n and n
+-n junctions. As a current rectifier, the MoO3/InSe heterojunction shows rectification ratios of ∼107 and ∼104 for forward and backward bias conditions, respectively. As a photodetector, the MoO3/InSe heterojunction shows stable photo-switching behavior with a ∼105 on/off ratio and an ultralow dark current (≈10 fA). The response time is measured to be 500 μs and 300 μs for rise and fall processes, respectively. These results highlight the role of MoO3 with high electron affinity in construction of vdW heterostructure with type-III band alignment and provide a new platform for high performance optoelectronic devices.
Pointwise Convergence of Noncommutative Fourier Series

This paper is devoted to the study of pointwise convergence of Fourier series for group von Neumann algebras and quantum groups. It is well-known that a number of approximation properties of groups can be interpreted as summation methods and mean convergence of the associated noncommutative Fourier series. Based on this framework, this paper studies the refined counterpart of pointwise convergence of these Fourier series. As a key ingredient, we develop a noncommutative bootstrap method and establish a general criterion of maximal inequalities for approximate identities of noncommutative Fourier multipliers. Based on this criterion, we prove that for any countable discrete amenable group, there exists a sequence of finitely supported positive definite functions tending to

. In a similar fashion, we also obtain results for a large subclass of groups (as well as quantum groups) with the Haagerup property and the weak amenability. We also consider the analogues of Fejér and Bochner-Riesz means in the noncommutative setting. Our approach heavily relies on the noncommutative ergodic theory in conjunction with abstract constructions of Markov semigroups, inspired by quantum probability and geometric group theory. Finally, we also obtain as a byproduct the dimension free bounds of the noncommutative Hardy-Littlewood maximal inequalities associated with convex bodies.
Alphabet Books and Satire at the Dawn of Victorian England
Authors: Hoffman A Robin
Published: October 2024

“Chapter 1: Alphabet Books and Satire at the Dawn of Victorian England,” reconstructs the dynamic exchange with popular satire that characterizes two illustrated alphabets produced in the 1830s: a homemade alphabet (c. 1833) drawn by future novelist and Punch contributor William Makepeace Thackeray and A Comic Alphabet (1836) by George Cruikshank, the leading graphic artist in Britain during the first half of the nineteenth century. Both works emphasized the visual character of text and drew on the tropes of emblematic prints as well as the conventions of alphabet books circulating within the emerging field of children’s publishing. After closely contextualizing the works’ materiality and similar cues, the chapter concludes that, in the early Victorian period, illustrated alphabets were more closely tied to class privilege than to child audiences.
The Perils and Pleasures of Pronunciation and Perspective in Edward Lear’s Nonsense Alphabets
Authors: Hoffman A Robin
Published: October 2024

“Chapter 3: The Perils and Pleasures of Pronunciation and Perspective in Edward Lear’s Nonsense Alphabets” presents the first focused study of published abecedarian work by the renowned poet, which he developed over the course of decades and usually illustrated in a manner completely distinct from his highly finished oil paintings, watercolors, and lithographs. Lear’s nonsense poems counterbalance the utilitarian emphasis on textual literacy by investing meaning in performance and play, presenting verbal and visual puns or celebrating oral culture instead of developing narratives or pedagogical functions. The six nonsense alphabets he published in the 1870s catered to mixed adult-child audiences while insisting upon the limits of alphabet books as teaching tools.
Walter Crane, the Alphabet, and the Value of “So-Called Children’s Books”
Authors: Hoffman A Robin
Published: October 2024

“Chapter 4: Walter Crane, the Alphabet, and the Value of ‘So-Called Children’s Books’” considers how the prominent artist’s ambitions and creations evolved during a career that spanned more than fifty years and included the production of a dozen alphabet books. His publications developed from cheap toy books, designed to reflect a house style, into self-consciously artistic forms of “education for the eye” targeted at middle-class audiences of both children and adults. The Elementary Education Act of 1870 coincided with technological improvements in color printing that allowed Crane and other artists associated with the Arts and Crafts and Aesthetics Movements to use letterforms to promote visual literacy and foster access to good design.
Printed Design Proposals as Salvaged Remainders of the Goldsmith’s Workshop
Authors: Brisman Shira
Published: October 2024

When turning to the techniques of etching on metal to make intaglio prints on paper, goldsmiths addressed potential clients and other fellows in their trade. In doing so, they put forth statements about what constituted property for members of each of these social stations. Multiple claims competed to classify to whom the raw materials belonged, the skills to transmute them or the forms that such handiwork took and whether the ownership of such entities could be transferred, redirected or even undone. The Nuremberg goldsmith Christoph Jamnitzer stages these questions in an etching that shows a tailor who is holding a flag stitched together from remaindered pieces of cloth. Connecting for the first time this image to its literary source, Hans Sachs’s ‘The Tailor and the Flag’, published in 1563, this essay demonstrates how the episode attests against the hoarding of materials, and for the ethos of giving clients and apprentices their due.
Constituting the Body of State: Paper, Parchment, and Political Thought in the Age of the American Revolution
Authors: Siddique Asheesh Kapur
Published: October 2024

This essay considers the material and visual cultural dynamics through which the modern state emerged during the Age of Revolutions in the Atlantic world. It centres upon the emergent rhetoric of the ‘written constitution’ in Revolutionary North America and the new United States, arguing that this mode of constitution-making represented not the invention that many claimed it to be, but instead a revision of the relationship between document, statecraft and the body in early modern British empire that built upon seventeenth-century English critics of monarchical power. The continuities between the material substrates of empire and nation came to be masked by a rhetoric of disavowal that posited the US constitutional form as both an innovation and a template for the material entanglements of the modern state.
Eros, Inc.: Cupid, Capital, and the Crash of 1720
Authors: Dubin Nina L
Published: October 2024

In Regency Paris, the triumphant introduction into the economy of mass printed paper currencies coincided with images of equally victorious winged amours (cupids): serialised embodiments, in both cases, of the ascendancy of the flitting and fluttering. Examining works by Charles Coypel, Bernard Picart and others, this essay contextualises the reprisal of the omnia vincit amor theme—the idea of love’s inescapable power—alongside the emergence of an equally indomitable financial culture. Amidst the bubble economy engineered by John Law, Amour served as incarnation of more than the salvific and emancipatory promise of a paper economy. Hailed for his ‘empire of love’, the tyrannical god also asserted the blend of seduction and subjugation practiced by a despotic state that demanded acquiescence: both to its banknotes, and to the purportedly ‘soft power’ exercised by the government-licensed Company of the Indies over French Louisiana’s Indigenous population.
