Authors: Khan Sultan Uddin , Hossain Md Shazzad , Sultan Ibrahim
Published: August 2023

 In the dynamic and ever-changing realm of smart grid technology, it is of utmost importance to guarantee the efficient coordination of Inverse Definite Minimum Time (IDMT) overcurrent and earth fault relays. This coordination is crucial for maintaining the stability and safety of the grid. The conventional approaches to establishing these settings are characterized by their arduous nature and susceptibility to errors, frequently resulting in suboptimal outcomes. The primary objective of this work is to introduce a groundbreaking approach to this essential undertaking through the utilization of machine learning techniques. A comprehensive assessment was conducted on some commonly employed machine learning models, such as Linear Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Regression, and Gradient Boosting, to determine their effectiveness in the context of relay coordination. The Gradient Boosting model demonstrated superior performance compared to other models, achieving an R2-score of nearly 97% and exhibiting exceptionally low values for both Mean Square Error (MSE) and Mean Average Error (MAE). This finding suggests a strong alignment with the data and a high capacity to effectively apply the model to unfamiliar data, as evidenced by a Cross-Validation Score of 86.2%. The results of our study indicate that Gradient Boosting presents a highly precise, efficient, and dependable strategy for relay coordination in smart grid systems. Consequently, it emerges as an appealing alternative to conventional calculation-based methods.

Published: August 2023

Assessments of postural sway are associated with disease status and fall risk in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS). However, these assessments, which leverage force platforms or wearable accelerometers, are most often conducted in laboratory environments and are thus not broadly accessible. Remote measures of postural sway captured during daily life may provide a more accessible alterative, but their ability to capture disease status and fall risk has not yet been established. We explore the utility of remote measures of postural sway in a sample of 33 PwMS. Remote measures of sway differed significantly from lab-based measures, but still demonstrated moderately strong associations with patient reported measures of balance and mobility impairment. Machine learning models for predicting fall risk trained on lab data provided an AUC of 0.79, while remote data only achieved an AUC of 0.51. Remote model performance improved to an AUC of 0.74 after a new, subject-specific k-means clustering approach was applied for identifying the remote data most appropriate for modelling. This cluster-based approach for analysing remote data also strengthened associations with patient-reported measures, increasing their strength above those observed in the lab. This work introduces a new framework for analysing data from remote patient monitoring technologies and demonstrates the promise of remote postural sway for assessing fall risk and characterizing balance impairment in PwMS.  
Not Biologically Inspired: On Training Networks of Monostable Multivibrator Timer Neurons
Authors: Keuninckx Lars , Hartmann Matthias , Detterer Paul , Safa Ali , Ocket Ilja
Published: August 2023

Monostable multivibrators are simple timers which are easily implemented using counters in digital hardware and can be interpreted as non-biologically inspired spiking neurons. We show how fully binarized event-driven recurrent networks of monostable multivibrators can be trained to solve classification tasks. We mitigate an important bottleneck in neuromorphic hardware concepts by circumventing synaptic addition within the network. Here rather, input signals to a neuron are simply OR-ed together. Temporally overlapping input events are resolved at the neuron level. We demonstrate our approach on the MNIST handwritten digits, Google Soli radar gestures, IBM DVS128 gestures and Yin-Yang classification tasks, all with excellent results. The estimated energy consumption for the MNIST handwritten digits task, excluding the final readout layer, is 855pJ per inference for a test accuracy of 98.61% for a reconfigurable network of 500 units that was mapped to a 28nm process.

Published: August 2023

This paper is accepted for the IEEE SMC 2023. Adjusting the level of autonomy in human-machine systems (e.g., human-robot systems) holds great potential for achieving high system performance while maintaining operator involvement. To support operators with the task of setting the proper level of autonomy, we present a novel approach to realise a Model Predictive Controller that determines the optimal LoA for each tessellation in the robot's path plan based on the estimated performance degradation due environmental adversities. We also report on an experimental evaluation of a mixed-initiative system where both the operator and the Model Predictive Controller are in charge of dynamically adjusting the level of autonomy cooperatively while performing a challenging navigational task with a mobile ground robot in a high-fidelity simulation. To this end, we conducted a user study with 15 participants comparing the performance and user experience of the model predictive system with a state-of-the-art system. The results show significant benefits of the model predictive system in terms of a reduction of conflicts for control and an improved user experience. Additionally, there are indications of benefits in terms of robot health and, consequently, performance for the model predictive system.

Authors: Yarra Naga Subrahmanya Vamsi Mohan , A Sivanantha Raja , K ESAKKI MUTHU
Published: August 2023

This research paper investigates free space optic (FSO) system by integrating orbital angular momentum (OAM) and polarization division multiplexing (PDM) techniques resulting in the data rate enhancement. Simulation of OAM-PDM-FSO transmission is analyzed by using Optisystem. A successful transmission of 80 Gb/s overall capacity is investigated by means of individual OAM modes (LG0,0, LG0,13, LG0,40, and LG0,80), enhancing the spectral efficiency of the system under different climatic conditions. System performance is studied for various modulation schemes including return-to-zero (RZ), non-return-to zero (NRZ) and offset-quadrature-phase shift keying (OQPSK). The best performance has been shown by means of OQPSK modulation technique. 8x10 Gb/s transmission under the influence of various external weather conditions such as rain, fog and dust is reported. A maximum FSO link range of 6 km is realized under clear weather conditions whereas a minimum FSO range of 1.25 km is achieved under heavy dust conditions. Performance of proposed hybrid OAM-PDM system is evaluated at different link lengths in terms of Q-factor, log (BER), received power and eye diagrams.
Effective Generative Data Augmentation in Condition Monitoring
Authors: Ortiz-Arroyo Daniel , Durdevic Petar
Published: August 2023

In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of a diffusion model to generate an augmented labeled dataset of synthetic images. The creation of synthetic images becomes indispensable in condition monitoring applications where capturing a diverse range of damages for training a supervised deep-learning model is impracticable or infeasible. To evaluate the potential of this technique, we explore the case of damage classification in synthetic fiber ropes. The approach involves training and fine- tuning a stable diffusion model to create synthetic photorealistic images, representing three distinct types of damages commonly found in fiber ropes. We assessed the efficacy of our method by training and testing the Resnet50 classifier on the synthetic dataset. Our results show that the classifier’s performance remains stable when up to 75% of the images used for training are synthetically generated. This outcome suggests that synthetically generated images produced by a finely-tuned diffusion model possess sufficient quality to serve as a viable addition to real images in data augmentation.
Lattice Codes for CRYSTALS-Kyber
Authors: Liu Shuiyin , Sakzad Amin
Published: August 2023

This letter describes a lattice encoder for the NIST-recommended post-quantum encryption algorithm: Kyber. The key idea is to refine the analysis of Kyber decoding noise. We prove that Kyber decoding noise can be bounded by a sphere. This result shows the Kyber encoding problem is essentially a sphere packing in a hypercube. Lattice codes are then constructed to ensure denser packing and a lower decryption failure rate (DFR). Compared with the original Kyber encoder, the communication cost is reduced by up to 32.6%, the DFR is reduced by a factor of up to 2^{85}. The security arguments remain the same.

Analyzing the relative performance of RF photonic transversal signal processors based on microcombs with discrete components versus with integrated chips
Authors: Moss David
Published: August 2023

RF photonic transversal signal processors, which combine reconfigurable electrical digital signal processing and high-bandwidth photonic processing, provide a powerful solution for achieving adaptive high-speed information processing. Recent progress in optical microcomb technology provides compelling multi-wavelength sources with compact footprint, yielding a variety of microcomb-based RF photonic transversal signal processors implemented by either discrete or integrated components. Although operating based on the same principle, processors in these two forms exhibit distinct performance. This letter presents a comparative investigation into their performance. First, we compare the performance of state-of-the-art processors, focusing on the processing accuracy. Next, we analyze various factors that contribute to the performance differences, including tap number and imperfect response of experimental components. Finally, we discuss the potential for future improvement. These results provide a comprehensive comparison of microcomb-based RF photonic transversal signal processors implemented using discrete and integrated components and provide insights for their future development.

Continual Egocentric Activity Recognition via Foreseeable-Generalized Multi-Modal Representations
Authors: He Chiyuan
Published: August 2023

The rapid development of wearable sensors promotes convenient data collection in human daily life. Human Activity Recognition (HAR), as a prominent research direction for wearable applications, has made remarkable progress in recent years. However, existing efforts mostly focus on improving recognition accuracy, paying limited attention to the model's functional scalability, specifically its ability for continual learning. This limitation greatly restricts its application in open-world scenarios. Moreover, due to storage and privacy concerns, it is often impractical to retain the activity data of different users for subsequent tasks, especially egocentric visual information. Furthermore, the imbalance between visual-based and inertial-measurement-unit (IMU) sensing modality introduces challenges of lack of generalization when employing conventional continual learning techniques. In this paper, we propose a motivational learning scheme to address the limited generalization caused by the modal imbalance, enabling foreseeable generalization in a visual-IMU multimodal network. To overcome forgetting, we introduce a robust representation estimation technique and a pseudo-representation generation strategy for continual learning. Experimental results on the egocentric multimodal activity dataset UESTC-MMEA-CL demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method. Furthermore, our method effectively leverages the generalization capabilities of IMU-based modal representations, outperforming general and state-of-the-art continual learning methods in various task settings.

Eco-innovative approaches as activators of the environmental reconstruction of compromised contexts
Authors: Franchino Rossella , Frettoloso Caterina
Published: August 2023

One of the most important issues in the environmental reconstruction of compromised contexts is the renewal of open spaces as an added value to the urban fabric, especially when the eco-systemic balance has been altered. The transformation of these contexts, which can be interpreted both as a system “discarded” by the crisis as well as a system that puts the territory that hosts them into “crisis”, plays a significant role in the activation of integrated revitalisation processes. This is the case of the ASI zones: complex areas with a significant unexpressed or denied potential due to the impacts that productive activities have generated over times of use and non-use. Sharing the principles of an eco-innovative approach, the authors present a transformation model which aims to reconstruct the integration between industrial centres and the territories where they are located. The model was tested within the framework of an interdisciplinary research project.

Published: August 2023

In the face of the challenges of effectiveness and efficiency of resource expenditure imposed by the Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR) and by the Next Generation EU (NGEU), the solutions introduced in Italy mainly appear to be of an emergency nature, with the adoption of extraordinary procedures and an overall “containment” of the Public Procurement Code. This essay, recognising the current scenario as an opportunity for structurally redefining methods and processes with particular attention to the dimension of the feasibility and environmental sustainability of the interventions, aims to investigate the possible contributions of the technological area for the innovation of practices and tools in the field of planning-design-construction-management of public works in Italy.

Authors: Richer Christian
Published: August 2023

This article examines the grand strategic influences on British and U.S. offensive mine warfare operations during World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War. Current U.S. arguments in favor of employing offensive mine warfare in a future conflict with China ignore the political and economic complications that have historically challenged government decision makers. By examining British discussions concerning the North Sea, Norwegian territorial waters, and the Rhine River in Central Europe and U.S. discussions concerning Haiphong Harbor in North Vietnam, the article provides historical context to the current debate and identifies strategic challenges for strategists and policymakers to consider. Offensive mine warfare can be employed successfully under the right circumstances. Strategists and policymakers should anticipate likely complications and remember that battlefield choices can influence the grand strategic conduct of war.

Determination of Caffeine and Few Metals in Halabja Tea and Comparing with Various Tea Samples in Erbil Markets
Authors: Banaz Omer Ahmad1  , Kamal M. Mahmoud2
Published: August 2023

This paper deals with two main parts: part (I) performed the caffeine levels evaluation in three commercial tea leaves (black, green, and herbal tea) in Erbil markets and Halabja city. The caffeine was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction using dichloromethane and chloroform solvents. The extracted caffeine was purified, and then identified by melting point (M.P), ultraviolet (UV) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy that provides spectra identical to the standard caffeine crystals. The level of caffeine in black tea was found greater than in green tea, presumably because black tea are made of older tea leaves, in contrast, there is no caffeine obtained from Halabja tea. Part (II) mentioned the determination of metal ions (lithium, sodium, potassium, and calcium) in 5 brands of black and green tea (leaves and bags) in addition to Halabja tea; using flame atomic emission (FAES) and flame atomic absorption (FAAS) spectroscopy. The tea beverages were prepared by three different methods: (chemically, infusion, and continuous infusion). There was a moderate quantity of sodium, potassium, and calcium was determined in the 5 brands of tea, while lithium found in the trace. Halabja tea was free from caffeine while lithium, sodium, potassium, and calcium elements of the Halabja herbal tea are all higher than all the other types of tea leaves and bags

Published: August 2023

Cinnamon plant Activated Carbon (C/AC) was prepared by chemical and thermal activation. The adsorption behaviour of (C/AC) in aqueous Methylene blue (MB) and Safranine (S) dyes was investigated and characterized by XRD, TEM and FESEM. The possible mechanism of the adsorption of (MB) and (S) dyes on the (C/AC) surface was studied.  The influence of various adsorption control parameters like the initial dye concentration, pH, contact time, and temperature was studied.  The data confirmed a high removal of (MB) and (S) at pH=11.  The experimental data were fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms to examine the adsorption mechanism.  The adsorption data reveal (MB) with the maximum capacity of (294.11) mg/g and (S) with the capacity of (285.714) mg/g.  The kinetic data for different initial dye concentration were computed using pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intraparticle diffusion model. Thermodynamic parameters includes enthalpy (∆H), entropy (∆S), free energy (∆G), and activation energy (Ea) of the adsorption process were calculated and used to interpret the results, and revealed that the adsorption systems were a spontaneous and endothermic process for adsorption of MB and S dyes onto the adsorbent surface. Also, low activation energy values (Ea<40 kJ/mol) were characteristics of the physisorption mechanism and diffusion-controlled process.

Postpartum blues are changes in feelings that often occur in post-cesarean mothers, such as feelings of sadness, excessive joy, and feelings of depression, sudden crying, and irritability. Occurs from a few hours to a few days after delivery. Postpartum blues can be overcome with health education and husband's support, so the study aims to determine the effect of providing Health Education and Husband Support on the incidence of Postpartum Blues in Post-Cesarean Section Mothers. Quasi-experimental research design, with a pre-posttest approach. Sampling by consecutive sampling on 60 respondents who were divided into control and intervention groups. Instruments used EPDS, data were analyzed using the Mc Nemar test and Chi Square test. There was a difference in the proportion of postpartum blues events between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention group was given health education and husband support (P Value 0.041). Post-cesarean section mothers who received intervention had a 4.33 times higher chance of not experiencing postpartum blues compared to mothers who did not receive intervention (OR: 4.33; 1.20-15.60). Health education and husband's support influence the incidence of postpartum blues in post-cesarean section mothers.

After decades of deliberate exclusion from labour laws and social protection in South Africa, domestic workers have slowly been able to taste the fruits of years of laborious fights for recognition, inclusion, and dignity. On 19 November 2020, the Constitutional Court ordered the inclusion of domestic workers in the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA). This marked another victory for domestic workers. Textual inclusion is a relatively easier feat compared to the real challenge of implementation to give effect to such inclusion. The monitoring of implementation and progress of domestic workers who have benefitted from this inclusion has been relatively underexplored. This study explores the progress made in the development of social protection followingthe recent inclusion of domestic workers in COIDA, together with the implementation of this law. The article uses desktop research to investigate barriers to the development and implementation of social protection in the domestic work sector. The article highlights the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration, clear policies from the Department of Labour, and the provision of constructive support for employers in the domestic work sector to facilitate compliance with COIDA.
