Integrated water management is gaining great importance, especially in regions where access to water is difficult and fresh water resources are limited, as water resources are insufficient in the face of rapidly increasing demand. Integrated water management provides effective use of limited resources and uninterrupted access to clean water for people with a sustainable environmental approach. In this context, the water situation in TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus), one of the countries with limited water resources, was examined. In the current situation of the country, considering the capacity of effective water resources and water consumption per capita, there is water scarcity in the country. In the TRNC, where the majority of fresh water resources consist of aquifers, the decrease in groundwater levels has caused the salinity rate of the aquifers to increase and the water to become brackish water. In cases where it is difficult to access clean water, water that is not suitable for use can be purified by using membrane technologies. Thanks to the recycling of wastewater, irrigation water, process water, etc. can be obtained. This can also increase groundwater levels by allowing aquifer recharge. The existence of desalination facilities in the country allows the purification and consumption of water with high salt concentration using RO (reverse osmosis) technology

In this paper, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are being considered to obtain low sidelobe pattern for binary codes and thereby to improve the performance of pulse compression radar. Pulse compression is a popular technique used for improving range resolution in the radar systems. This paper proposes a new approach for Pulse Compression using various types of ANN networks like Multi-Layer Perception (MLP), Recursive Neural Networks (RNN), Radial Basis Function (RBF) and Recurrent Radial Basis Function (RRBF) and a special class of Feed-Forward Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) with one input layer, one output layer and one hidden layer are being considered. Networks of 13-bit Barker code and extended binary Barker codes of 35, 55 and 75 length codes were used for the implementation and thereby to improve the performance of pulse compression radar. WNN-based networks using Morlet and Sigmoid activation function in hidden and output layers respectively, a special class of Artificial Neural Network is considered in this paper. The performance metrics used are Peak Sidelobe Ratio (PSLR), Integrated Sidelobe Ratio (ISLR) and Signal-to-Sidelobe Ratio (SSR). Further the performance in terms of range and Doppler resolution is also presented in this paper. Better performance in terms of sidelobe reduction can be achieved with ANNs compared to Autocorrelation Function (ACF) called as matched filter. If the sidelobe values are high there is possibility of masking weaker return signals and there by detection becomes difficult. From this paper it can be established that RRBF gives better result than other ANN networks. Further, WNN gives the best performance even compared with RRBF in terms of sidelobe reduction in pulse compression radar.

Biologisk recipientkontroll för Ringhals kärnkraftverk – Årsrapport för 2023
Authors: Jaktén Langert William , Sjöholm Jonathan , Käll Filip
Published: March 2024

Ringhals kärnkraftverk är en av Sveriges största elproducenter. På grund av intag och utsläpp av havsvatten som kyler processen i kraftverket sker en påverkan på den omgivande kustvattenmiljön. Denna påverkan övervakas och analyseras i ett biologiskt recipientkontrollprogram. Föreliggande årsrapport presenterar resultat av undersökningarna inom kontrollprogrammet för 2023. Fokus i årsrapporten ligger på samhället av fisk och skaldjur, förluster av ägg, larver och yngel i kylvattenvägarna samt förekomsten av främmande arter. I kylvattenintaget utförs varje vår två olika provtagningar för att övervaka förlusterna av olika fiskstadier i kraftverket: En provtagning av fiskägg och fisklarver med en bongohåv samt en provtagning av yngel och juvenil fisk med en modifierad Isaac-Kiddtrål. I ägg- och larvprovtagningen 2023 var de vanligaste förekommande fiskäggen små plattfiskägg (skrubb- och sandskädda) och de vanligaste fisklarverna sandskädda och skrubbskädda. Provtagningen i kylvattenintaget efter juvenil fisk och yngel är till stor del fokuserad på fångsterna av glasål (Anguilla anguilla). Fångsterna med Isaac-Kiddtrålen 2023 dominerades av klarbult följd av sillyngel, tobisyngel och glasål. Effekten av utgående uppvärmt kylvatten undersöks genom årliga provfisken med ryssjor på tre lokaler: recipientområdet vid Ringhals som direkt påverkas av kylvattnet, ett område vid Norra Horta som är delvis påverkat av kylvattnet och ett referensområde vid Vendelsö som är opåverkat av kylvatten. Provfisket genomförs två gånger per år, under april och augusti. För 2023 var skärsnultra generellt den överlägset vanligaste fiskarten vid provfisket på samtliga fiskade lokaler, förutom i referensområdet under april där torsk var vanligast. Mest skärsnultra fångades vid Norra Horta. Generellt sett var arter som föredrar varmare vatten vanligare i recipientområdet och arter som föredrar kallare vatten vanligare i referensområdet. Totalfångsten av strandkrabba var stor på samtliga lokaler under båda fiskeperioderna, med de största fångsterna i recipientområdet i augusti. Området kring renshusledningens utlopp undersöktes med ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) för att visuellt inspektera påverkan på botten. Utsläpp och sedimentation av skaldelar från musslor och krabbor har i år, liksom förra året, minskat till följd av relativt lågt kylvattenflöde. För att undersöka eventuell förekomst av invasiva främmande arter genomfördes en dykkartering i tre områden: recipientområdet vid Ringhals, Norra Horta och Vendelsö. Sammantaget för de tre områdena observerades fem invasiva främmande arter av alger (rödsvansing, japantofs, japanplym, hamndun och brunalgen, japansk sargassotång) samt en främmande djurart (stillahavsostron). Utöver dykkarteringen efter invasiva arter så hittades även den invasiva asiatisk blåskrabban under provfisket i april. Samtliga främmande arter är kända på svenska västkusten sedan tidigare.

Authors: Zhao Wenqing , Zhen Yutong
Published: March 2024

A method for bolt deficiency detection on power transmission lines based on YOLOv7 is proposed to address the issues of low detection accuracy and high false negatives in current unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspections. In the Neck module, the existing feature fusion structure is modified by directly combining deep and shallow feature information across adjacent scale feature maps. The prior box sizes in the original YOLOv7 are adjusted to better fit the dimensions and aspect ratios of bolt targets. The improved YOLOv7 algorithm enhances the learning capability of bolt feature information. Experimental results on the bolt deficiency dataset using this method show a 6% increase in precision and a 0.6% increase in mAP_0.5. The experiments demonstrate that the improved method enhances the detection ability of bolt deficiencies on power transmission lines and has practical value in intelligent inspections.

Authors: Lehmann Štěpánka , Barvíková Jana
Published: March 2024

Based on data from a questionnaire survey and in-depth qualitative interviews with parents who have separated, the text describes the dynamics of the negotiations relating to physical custody of a child. When negotiating a custody arrangement, parents develop their strategies in relation to the prevailing model in Czech society of granting mothers sole custody. Most women prefer to maintain this arrangement, while fathers more often seek to move towards an equal division of care. When fathers are granted sole custody it is not usually on the basis of a consensual agreement being reached between parents. Custody arrangements enforced without parental consent are potentially conflictual and unstable.

Published: March 2024

Colleges have historically faced a great deal of difficulty with student attendance, necessitating a large time and effort investment from staff in manual tracking. Even though they are in place, the existing biometric attendance systems are not entirely automated, which causes delays in processing fingerprints, maintenance issues, and inefficiencies in time. Given that almost everyone has a smartphone and is continuously online in this day and age, a more simplified method is necessary. This study suggests using sophisticated object identification algorithms to check attendance using faculty members' smartphones. Because of its effectiveness in face detection and the addition of Microsoft Azure's face API for database recognition, YOLO V3 (You Only Look Once) is the preferred option among these. One special feature of the system is that it takes pictures of the classroom at the start and finish of every class to make sure everyone is present. After determining the number of students in each photograph, YOLO V3 separates the faces that are known and those that are unknown, creating distinct spreadsheets. Monthly email reminders are also sent to teachers, parents, and students. The system that has been put into place shows strong real-time performance in counting and detecting jobs, with excellent facial recognition accuracy and overall efficiency.
