description: In computer vision, video segmentation and tracking is an important challenging issue. In this paper, we describe a new video sequences segmentation and tracking algorithm based on MAS "multi-agent systems" and SURF "Speeded Up Robust Features". Our approach consists in modelling a multi-agent system for segmenting the first image from a video sequence and tracking objects in the video sequences. The used agents are supervisor and explorator agents, they are communicating between them and they inspire in their behavior from active contours approaches. The tracking of objects is based on SURF descriptors "Speed Up Robust Features". We used the DIMA platform and "API Ateji PX" (an extension of the Java language to facilitate parallel programming on heterogeneous architectures) to implement this algorithm. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is more robust and faster than previous approaches.

description: We demonstrate the self-assembly of C$_{60}$ and pentacene (Pn) molecules into acceptor-donor heterostructures which are well-ordered and -- despite the high degree of symmetry of the constituent molecules -- {\it chiral}. Pn was deposited on Cu(111) to monolayer coverage, producing the random-tiling ($R$) phase as previously described. Atop $R$-phase Pn, post-deposited C$_{60}$ molecules cause rearrangement of the Pn molecules into domains based on chiral supramolecular `pinwheels'. These two molecules are the highest-symmetry achiral molecules so far observed to coalesce into chiral heterostructures. Also, the chiral pinwheels (composed of 1 C$_{60}$ and 6 Pn each) may share Pn molecules in different ways to produce structures with different lattice parameters and degree of chirality. High-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) results and knowledge of adsorption sites allow the determination of these structures to a high degree of confidence. The measurement of chiral angles identical to those predicted is a further demonstration of the accuracy of the models. Van der Waals density functional theory calculations reveal that the Pn molecules around each C$_{60}$ are torsionally flexed around their long molecular axes and that there is charge transfer from C$_{60}$ to Pn in each pinwheel.

description: Premise Floral scent, usually consisting of multiple compounds, is a complex trait, and its role in pollinator attraction has received increasing attention. However, disentangling the effect of individual floral scent compounds is difficult due to the complexity of isolating the effect of single compounds by traditional methods. Methods Using available quasi-isogenic lines (qILs) that were generated as part of the original mapping of the floral scent volatile-related loci CNL1 (benzaldehyde) and TPS2 (β-ocimene) in Capsella, we generated four genotypes that should only differ in these two compounds. Plants of the four genotypes were introduced into a common garden outside the natural range of C. rubella or C. grandiflora, with individuals of a self-compatible C. grandiflora line as pollen donors, whose different genetic background facilitates the detection of outcrossing events. Visitors to flowers of all five genotypes were compared, and the seeds set during the common-garden period were collected for high-throughput amplicon-based sequencing to estimate their outcrossing rates. Results Benzaldehyde and β-ocimene emissions were detected in the floral scent of corresponding genotypes. While some pollinator groups showed specific visitation preferences depending on scent compounds, the outcrossing rates in seeds did not vary among the four scent-manipulated genotypes. Conclusions The scent-manipulated Capsella materials constructed using qILs provide a powerful system to study the ecological effects of individual floral scent compounds under largely natural environments. In Capsella, individual benzaldehyde and β-ocimene emission may act as attractants for different types of pollinators.

description: We present a scalable dissipative particle dynamics simulation code, fully implemented on the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) using a hybrid CUDA/MPI programming model, which achieves 10-30 times speedup on a single GPU over 16 CPU cores and almost linear weak scaling across a thousand nodes. A unified framework is developed within which the efficient generation of the neighbor list and maintaining particle data locality are addressed. Our algorithm generates strictly ordered neighbor lists in parallel, while the construction is deterministic and makes no use of atomic operations or sorting. Such neighbor list leads to optimal data loading efficiency when combined with a two-level particle reordering scheme. A faster in situ generation scheme for Gaussian random numbers is proposed using precomputed binary signatures. We designed custom transcendental functions that are fast and accurate for evaluating the pairwise interaction. The correctness and accuracy of the code is verified through a set of test cases simulating Poiseuille flow and spontaneous vesicle formation. Computer benchmarks demonstrate the speedup of our implementation over the CPU implementation as well as strong and weak scalability. A large-scale simulation of spontaneous vesicle formation consisting of 128 million particles was conducted to further illustrate the practicality of our code in real-world applications.

description: Let $\bar{G} = (G, ω)$ be a vertex-weighted graph, and $δ$ a divisor class on $G$. Let $r_{\bar{G}}(δ)$ denote the combinatorial rank of $δ$. Caporaso has introduced the algebraic rank $r_{\bar{G}}^{\operatorname{alg}}(δ)$ of $δ$, by using nodal curves with dual graph $\bar{G}$. In this paper, when $\bar{G}$ is hyperelliptic or of genus $3$, we show that $r_{\bar{G}}^{\operatorname{alg}}(δ) \geq r_{\bar{G}}(δ)$ holds, generalizing our previous result. We also show that, with respect to the specialization map from a non-hyperelliptic curve of genus $3$ to its reduction graph, any divisor on the graph lifts to a divisor on the curve of the same rank.

description: Detached eclipsing binaries (dEBs) are ideal targets for accurate measurement of masses and radii of ther component stars. If at least one of the stars has evolved off the main sequence (MS), the masses and radii give a strict constraint on the age of the stars. Several dEBs containing a bright K giant and a fainter MS star have been discovered by the Kepler satellite. The mass and radius of a red giant (RG) star can also be derived from its asteroseismic signal. The parameters determined in this way depend on stellar models and may contain systematic errors. It is important to validate the asteroseismically determined mass and radius with independent methods. This can be done when stars are members of stellar clusters or members of dEBs. KIC 8410637 consists of an RG and an MS star. The aim is to derive accurate masses and radii for both components and provide the foundation for a strong test of the asteroseismic method and the accuracy of the deduced mass, radius and age. We analyse high-resolution spectra from three different spectrographs. We also calculate a fit to the Kepler light curve and use ground-based photometry to determine the flux ratios between the component stars in the BVRI passbands. We measured the masses and radii of the stars in the dEB, and the classical parameters Teff, log g and [Fe/H] from the spectra and ground-based photometry. The RG component of KIC 8410637 is most likely in the core helium-burning red clump phase of evolution and has an age and composition very similar to the stars in the open cluster NGC 6819. The mass of the RG in KIC 8410637 should therefore be similar to the mass of RGs in NGC 6819, thus lending support to the most up-to-date version of the asteroseismic scaling relations. This is the first direct measurement of both mass and radius for an RG to be compared with values for RGs from asteroseismic scaling relations.

description: Streamflow missing data rises to a real challenge for calibration and validation of hydrological models as well as for statistically based methods of streamflow prediction. Although several algorithms have been developed thus far to impute missing values of hydro(geo)logical time series, the effectiveness of methods in imputation when the time series are influenced by different seasonalities and variances have remained largely unexplored. Therefore, we evaluated the efficacy of five different statistical algorithms in imputation of streamflow and groundwater level missing data under variegated periodicities and variances. Our performance evaluation is based on the streamflow data, procured from a hydrological model, and the observed groundwater data from the federal state of Brandenburg in Northeast Germany. Our findings revealed that imputations methods embodying the time series nature of the data (i.e., preceding value, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), and autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model (ARCH)) resulted in MSEs (Mean Squared Error) that are between 20 and 40 times smaller than the MSEs obtained from the Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, which do not consider this quality. ARCH and ARIMA excelled in imputing missing values for hydrological time series, specifically for the streamflow and groundwater level data. ARCH outperformed ARIMA in both the streamflow and groundwater imputation under various conditions, such as without seasonality, with seasonality, low and high variance, and high variance (white noise) conditions. For the streamflow data, ARCH achieved average MSEs of 0.0000704 and 0.0003487 and average NSEs of 0.9957710 and 0.9965222 under without seasonality and high variance conditions, respectively. Similarly, for the groundwater level data, ARCH demonstrated its capability with average MSEs of 0.000635040 and average NSEs of 0.9971351 under GWBR1 condition. The effectiveness of ARCH, originated from econometric time series methods, should be further assessed by other hydro(geo)logical time series obtained from different climate zones.

description: En Grèce archaïque et classique, le temps de l’enfance est associé à une répartition sexuée des espaces, réels ou imaginaires, qui annonce l’asymétrie des destins féminins et masculins. De la naissance à l’entrée dans l’âge adulte, un parcours jalonné d’étapes voit chaque sexe faire l’objet de soins et de rites spécifiques. Nous examinerons ici trois moments de transition, mis en scène dans trois types de lieux, associés à différentes formes de représentations collectives.Le premier lieu est littéraire. Il s’agit de l’espace de la matrice où s’élabore l’embryon et se construit la valeur différentielle des sexes, définie en termes de latéralité dans certains traités de médecine. Le deuxième lieu est l’espace de la fête des Choés, qui se déroulait à Athènes le deuxième jour des Anthestéries. Les scènes dépeintes sur de petites cruches à vin évoquent la première participation de jeunes enfants, principale-ment des garçons, à la vie religieuse de la cité vers l’âge de trois ans. Le troisième lieu est l’espace matériel du sanctuaire dont des offrandes se réfèrent aux étapes menant de l’enfance à l’âge adulte, et plus particulièrement au processus de maturation des filles.Ces trois lieux associés à des moments de transition, biologiques et culturels, résument les principaux biais qu’emprunte l’historien pour appréhender les rôles dévolus à chaque sexe. A chaque espace correspond un type privilégié de sources, écrites, iconographiques et archéologiques, qui permettent, chacune à sa manière, d’observer la construction de la différence dans la société grecque.

description: Standard discontinuous Galerkin finite element solutions to convection-dominated convection–diffusion equations usually possess sharp layers but also exhibit large spurious oscillations. Slope limiters are known as a post-processing technique to reduce these unphysical values. This paper studies the application of deep neural networks for detecting mesh cells on which slope limiters should be applied. The networks are trained with data obtained from simulations of a standard benchmark problem with linear finite elements. It is investigated how they perform when applied to discrete solutions obtained with higher order finite elements and to solutions for a different benchmark problem.

description: Introducing nanorods into a polymeric matrix can enhance the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting material. In this paper, we focus on understanding the dispersion and orientation patterns of nanorods in an unentangled polymer melt, particularly as a function of nanorod concentration, using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The system is comprised of flexible polymer chains and multi-thread nanorods that are equilibrated in the NPT ensemble. All interactions are purely repulsive except for those between polymers and rods. Results with attractive versus repulsive polymer-rod interactions are compared and contrasted. The concentration of rods has a direct impact on the phase behaviour of the system. At lower concentrations rods phase separate into nematic clusters, while at higher concentrations more isotropic and less structured rod configurations are observed. A detailed examination of the conformation of the polymer chains near the rod surface shows extension of the chains along the director of the rods (especially within clusters). The dispersion and orientation of the nanorods is a result of the competition between depletion entropic forces responsible for the formation of rod clusters, the enthalpic effects that improve mixing of rods and polymer, and entropic losses of polymers interpenetrating rod clusters.

description: The dense network of broadband seismometers in the alpine region is making it possible to resolve the seismic waves moving across the array in fine detail. These animations allow for an insight into the wave field dynamics, but processing the data poses several challenges, especially in bringing the amplitudes across the array into a range where they can be usefully shown alongside each other, and filtering the data to bring out the seismic phases visually from the shorter period noise. Here, we use a normalisation method based on the envelopes of the long-period lowpass filtered waveforms. The waveforms are then also band-pass filtered. The amplitudes are represented in color, with red being positive and blue being negative, as well as marker sizes in the animations for vertical component data. An estimate for the wave propagation of the most important seismic phases is performed via TauPy, and this estimate is drawn into the animation as coloured lines of theoretical wavefronts to facilitate the association of the visible wavefronts with them. The horizontal component is shown as well, but here the color is used to represent horizontal direction, while the marker size still corresponds to amplitude. The colour wheel encoding the directional information is shown in the top right, with white and black corresponding to radial polarisation and red and blue to transversal polarisation of the seismic waves. These animations can provide an intuitive, visual way to gain an understanding of seismic waves. They can also showcase the data quality, and might represent an early step in identifying specific problems at a glance over the whole array, like polarity errors or strong station noise level.

description: This article traces the history of US and Soviet reconnaissance satellites during the Cold War. It fills the gap in historiography of the Space Race that has inadequately studied military space programs and focused largely on civilian spaceflight, with the Apollo Moon landings being a prime example. It argues that the military satellites employed by both the US and Soviets offered unprecedented amounts of information on the other side and eliminated the issue of lacking intelligence that characterized the early Cold War. This in turn allowed for a more peaceful coexistence between these two ideologically opposed superpowers. Spy satellites allowed for a better assessment of the other side’s military strength, created a system of early warning for nuclear attacks, and offered a non-invasive way of verifying arms control treaties. These reconnaissance satellites and their successors play this important role up to this day.

description: High field superconducting magnets using high temperature superconductors are being developed for high energy physics, nuclear magnetic resonance and energy storage applications. Although the conductor technology has progressed to the point where such large magnets can be readily envisioned, quench protection remains a key challenge. It is well-established that quench propagation in HTS magnets is very slow and this brings new challenges that must be addressed. In this paper, these challenges are discussed and potential solutions, driven by new technologies such as optical fiber based sensors and thermally conducting electrical insulators, are reviewed.

The Poetics of German Transmedia Storytelling and World-building
Creators: name: Renger, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The art of storytelling has always been subject to change. In this era of media convergence, transmedia storytelling has emerged as a distinct new form of narrative activity taking place across multiple interconnected media platforms. Textual components of a complex narrative, called a ‘world,’ are distributed and thereby serialised: Each media platform can be interpreted as one instalment of a serial transmedia world, and the story told in one platform is different from the one in another. The challenge of transmedia world-building is to provide added narrative value as well as perform narrative coherence across platforms. This serial expansion of media and texts requires a new approach to the creation of transmedia narrative worlds, and new forms of collaboration. Creators from different industries have to work together from as early as the initial phase of content development. Research on transmedia storytelling and world-building has thus far neglected the German market; equally, the creative process has received hardly any sustained analytical attention. This thesis sheds light on German transmedia storytelling and world-building by examining the changing art of storytelling against the background of wider changes affecting the content development process. It examines the complex relationship between the creative process and the finished product of a transmedia series by following an interdisciplinary approach, based on poetics, combining the qualitative analysis of existing transmedia texts with interviews with German creators of transmedia series. This study shows that transmedia storytelling and transmedia world-building cannot be analysed separately. It demonstrates that what goes on during the creative process inscribes itself in every aspect of transmedia world-building. The enquiry into German production culture provides new empirical knowledge on current transmedia practices. This study establishes a coherent methodology of textual analysis that can account for the full scope and depth of transmedia stories and worlds.

description: Neural networks are successfully used to imitate and model cognitive processes. However, to provide clues about the neurobiological mechanisms enabling human cognition, these models need to mimic the structure and function of real brains. Brain-constrained networks differ from classic neural networks by implementing brain similarities at different scales, ranging from the micro- and mesoscopic levels of neuronal function, local neuronal links and circuit interaction to large-scale anatomical structure and between-area connectivity. This review shows how brain-constrained neural networks can be applied to study in silico the formation of mechanisms for symbol and concept processing and to work towards neurobiological explanations of specifically human cognitive abilities. These include verbal working memory and learning of large vocabularies of symbols, semantic binding carried by specific areas of cortex, attention focusing and modulation driven by symbol type, and the acquisition of concrete and abstract concepts partly influenced by symbols. Neuronal assembly activity in the networks is analyzed to deliver putative mechanistic correlates of higher cognitive processes and to develop candidate explanations founded in established neurobiological principles.

description: We introduce a class of noisy quantum cellular automata on a qubit lattice that includes all classical Markov chains, as well as maps where quantum coherence between sites is allowed to build up over time. We apply such a construction to the problem of excitation transfer through 1-d lattices, and compare the performance of classical and quantum dynamics with equal local transition probabilities. Our discrete approach has the merits of stripping down the complications of the open system dynamics, of clearly isolating coherent effects, of allowing for an exact treatment of conditional dynamics, all while capturing a rich variety of dynamical behaviours.

description: Data has become an indispensable input, throughput, and output for the healthcare industry. In recent years, omics technologies such as genomics and proteomics have generated vast amounts of new data at the cellular level including molecular, structural, and functional levels. Cellular data holds the potential to innovate therapeutics, vaccines, diagnostics, consumer products, or even ancestry services. However, data at the cellular level is generated with rapidly evolving omics technologies. These technologies use scientific knowledge from resource-rich environments. This raises the question of how new ventures can use cellular-level data from omics technologies to create new products and scale their business. We report on a series of interviews and a focus group discussion with entrepreneurs, investors, and data providers. By conceptualizing omics technologies as external enablers, we show how characteristics of cellular-level data negatively affect the combination mechanisms that drive venture creation and growth. We illustrate how data characteristics set boundary conditions for innovation and entrepreneurship and highlight how ventures seek to mitigate their impact.

description: The global distribution of footpaths and their inferred antiquity implies that they are widespread spatial and temporal anthropogenic landscape units. Arid environments are of special interest for investigating historically used footpaths, as older routes may preserve better due to minimal modern impact and slower pedogenic processes. Here we examine footpaths in the Judean Desert of the southern Levant, a human hotspot throughout the Holocene. We studied one modern and two archaeological footpaths (one attributed to the Early Bronze Age and one to the Roman period) using micromorphology, bulk samples laboratory analysis, and remote sensing. Field observations and color analysis indicate that footpaths in the studied arid limestone environment can result in brighter surface color than their non-path surroundings. Similar color changes are reflected using both laboratory analysis and high-resolution remote sensing, where the difference is also significant. Microscopically, the footpaths studied tend to be less porous and with fewer biogenic activities when compared to their non-path controls. However, the two ancient footpaths studied do exhibit minimal indicators of biogenic activities that are not detectable in the modern footpath sample. Our study shows that high-resolution remote sensing coupled with micromorphology, while using appropriate local modern analogies, can help to locate and assess both the environmental effect and the antiquity of footpaths.

description: The Alpine orogen and the Apennine system are part of the complex tectonic setting in the Mediterranean Sea caused by the convergence between Africa and Eurasia. Between 30 Ma and 15 Ma, the Apennines-Calabrian-Maghrebides subduction retreated in a southeast direction pulling Corsica and Sardinia away from the Eurasian landmass, opening the Ligurian Sea. In this extensional setting, the Ligurian Sea was formed as a back-arc basin. The northern margin of the Ligurian Basin shows notable seismicity at the Alpine front, including frequent magnitude 4 events. Seismicity decreases offshore towards the basin center and Corsica, revealing a diffuse distribution of low-magnitude earthquakes. Within the framework of the AlpArray research initiative, a long-term amphibious seismological experiment was conducted in the Ligurian Sea to investigate the lithospheric structure and the seismicity in the Ligurian Basin. The passive seismic network consisted of 29 broad-band ocean bottom stations from Germany and France next to permanent and temporary broad-band land stations. The ocean bottom stations were in operation between June 2017 and February 2018. Two clusters consisting of 18 earthquakes occurred between ∼ 10 km to ∼ 16 km depth below the sea surface, within the lower crust and uppermost mantle, in the centre of the basin. Thrust faulting focal mechanisms indicate compression and tectonic inversion of the Ligurian Basin, which is an abandoned Oligocene–Miocene rift basin. The basin inversion is suggested to be related to the Africa–Europe plate convergence. The locations and focal mechanisms of seismicity suggest reactivation of pre-existing rifting-related structures. Slightly different striking directions of presumed rifting-related faults in the basin center compared to faults further east and hence away from the rift basin may reflect the counter-clockwise rotation of the Corsica–Sardinia block. Mantle refractions Pn and Sn have apparent velocities of 8.2 km/s and 4.7 km/s. The low Vp-Vs-ratio of 1.72 indicates a more brittle behavior of the mantle material. This supports the hypothesis of strengthening of crust and uppermost mantle during the Oligocene–Miocene rifting-related extension and thinning of continental crust.

description: We investigate the consistency of a scenario in which the baryon asymmetry, dark matters, as well as the cosmic density perturbation are generated simultaneously through the evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs). This scenario can explain the coincidence of the dark matter and the baryon density of the universe, and is free from the isocurvature perturbation problem. We show that this scenario predicts the masses of PBHs, right-handed neutrinos and dark matters, the Hubble scale during inflation, the non-gaussianity and the running of the spectral index. We also discuss the testability of the scenario by detecting high frequency gravitational waves from PBHs.

description: Enforcing a non-classical behavior in mesoscopic systems is important for the study of the boundaries between quantum and classical world. Recent experiments have shown that optomechanical devices are promising candidates to pursue such investigations. Here we consider two different setups where the indirect coupling between a three-level atom and the movable mirrors of a cavity is achieved. The resulting dynamics is able to conditionally prepare a non-classical state of the mirrors by means of projective measurements operated over a pure state of the atomic system. The non-classical features are persistent against incoherent thermal preparation of the mechanical systems and their dissipative dynamics.

description: The KSP Complex in the Eastern Alps stretches from SE Austria to NW Slovenia and is a lithologically heterogenous (U)HP nappe with abundant eclogite lenses embedded in gneissic and metasedimentary rocks. An increase of metamorphic peak pressure-temperature (PT) conditions from NW to SE with UHP conditions for Pohorje was previously proposed based on thermodynamic modelling. The formation history of the KSP Complex is still debated. Here, we investigate in detail the PT conditions during the formation of the complex along a NW-SE transect following the direction of subduction with a new combined approach for this area of Raman spectroscopy of quartz inclusions in garnet, Zr-in-rutile thermometry and U/Pb dating on garnets. This is the first study within the KSP complex where quartz inclusions in garnet elastic barometry was conducted to determine the entrapment pressures, which correspond to the minimum pressure conditions present during the entrapment of quartz inside garnet. Approximately 5000 quartz inclusions inside the inner part of the garnets were investigated. The garnet rims contain almost no inclusions. The eclogites yield pressures of max. 1.9 GPa across the KSP complex, indicating no pressure increase from the NW to SE (Fig. 1). The metasediments and gneisses show overall lower pressures with ca. 1.4 GPa. Temperatures based on Zr-in-rutile thermometry was conducted on 194 rutile grains in different microstructural positions. The results do not indicate a temperature increase from NW to SE, with ca. 640 (±30)°C across the whole KSP Complex (Fig. 1), based on very similar Zr contents of ca. 270 ppm. The new approach of insitu U/Pb dating on garnets allows the age determination of the different growth zones in garnet and makes it an ideal tool to decipher metamorphic processes. The metasediments provide the following ages (Fig. 1) for the Koralpe 101.3 ± 6.6 Ma (throughout garnet); Saualpe 224.6 ± 31 Ma (core) and 115.5 ± 17.7 Ma (rim); Pohorje 104.2 ± 7.1 Ma to 105.5 ± 17.2 (throughout garnet). Garnet in eclogite from Koralpe is 112.8 ± 9.9 Ma. In general, the garnets in eclogite from the KSP complex are very poor in U. The obtained ages are interpreted to be metamorphic peak ages with a Cretaceous event at c. 100 Ma and a Triassic/Permian event reported in garnet cores from metasediments from Saualpe which is in line with existing literature. Combined with results of previous studies of eclogite ages, we suggest, that the eclogites are former (probably Permian) gabbro intrusions that experienced HP conditions during the Eoalpine orogeny. Whereas garnet ages of metasediments from Saualpe provide evidence for a polymetamorphic history.

description: In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio network that consists of one cognitive base station (CBS) and multiple cognitive users (CUs) in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers, where CUs transmit their data packets to CBS under a primary user's quality of service (QoS) constraint while the eavesdroppers attempt to intercept the cognitive transmissions from CUs to CBS. We investigate the physical-layer security against eavesdropping attacks in the cognitive radio network and propose the user scheduling scheme to achieve multiuser diversity for improving the security level of cognitive transmissions with a primary QoS constraint. Specifically, a cognitive user (CU) that satisfies the primary QoS requirement and maximizes the achievable secrecy rate of cognitive transmissions is scheduled to transmit its data packet. For the comparison purpose, we also examine the traditional multiuser scheduling and the artificial noise schemes. We analyze the achievable secrecy rate and intercept probability of the traditional and proposed multiuser scheduling schemes as well as the artificial noise scheme in Rayleigh fading environments. Numerical results show that given a primary QoS constraint, the proposed multiuser scheduling scheme generally outperforms the traditional multiuser scheduling and the artificial noise schemes in terms of the achievable secrecy rate and intercept probability. In addition, we derive the diversity order of the proposed multiuser scheduling scheme through an asymptotic intercept probability analysis and prove that the full diversity is obtained by using the proposed multiuser scheduling.

Impact of spatial resolution on large-scale ice cover modeling of mountainous regions

description: For reconstructing paleoclimate or studying glacial isostatic effects on the Earth’s lithosphere, increasingly more studies focus on modeling the large-scale ice cover in mountainous regions over long time scales. However, balancing model complexity and the spatial extent with computational costs is challenging. Previous studies of large-scale ice cover simulation in mountain areas such as the European Alps, New Zealand, and the Tibetan Plateau, typically used 1-2 km spatial resolution. However, mountains are characterized by high peaks and steep slopes - topographic features that are crucial for glacier mass balance and dynamics, but poorly resolved in coarse resolution topography. The Instructed Glacier Model (IGM) is a novel 3D ice model equipped with a physics-informed neural network to simulate ice flow. This results in a significant acceleration of run times, and thereby opening the possibility of higher spatial resolution runs. We use IGM to model the glaciation of the European Alps with different resolutions (2 km and 200 m) over a time period of 160,000 years. We apply a linear cooling rate to present-day climate until 6 °C colder to mimic ice age conditions. Preliminary results indicate systematic, resolution-related differences: At the beginning of cooling the 2 km resolution yields slightly more ice volume. However, this trend reverses when ice flows together from high elevations and fill large valleys with thick ice. When the Alps are fully ice covered, we find up to 14% more ice volume in the higher resolution models which, however, is not uniformly distributed in space.
