description: Undoubtedly breast cancer identifies itself as one of the most widespread and terrifying cancers across the globe. Millions of women are getting affected each year from it. Breast cancer remains the major one for being the reason of largest number of demise of women. In the recent time of research, Medical Image Computing and Processing has been playing a significant role for detecting and classifying breast cancers from ultrasound images and mammograms, along with the celestial touch of deep neural networks. In this research, we focused mostly on our rigorous implementations and iterative result analysis of different cutting-edge modified versions of EfficientNet architectures namely EfficientNet-V1 (b0-b7) and EfficientNet-V2 (b0-b3) with ultrasound image, named as CEIMVEN. We utilized transfer learning approach here for using the pre-trained models of EfficientNet versions. We activated the hyper-parameter tuning procedures, added fully connected layers, discarded the unprecedented outliers and recorded the accuracy results from our custom modified EfficientNet architectures. Our deep learning model training approach was related to both identifying the cancer affected areas with region of interest (ROI) techniques and multiple classifications (benign, malignant and normal). The approximate testing accuracies we got from the modified versions of EfficientNet-V1 (b0- 99.15%, b1- 98.58%, b2- 98.43%, b3- 98.01%, b4- 98.86%, b5- 97.72%, b6- 97.72%, b7- 98.72%) and EfficientNet-V2 (b0- 99.29%, b1- 99.01%, b2- 98.72%, b3- 99.43%) are showing very bright future and strong potentials of deep learning approach for the successful detection and classification of breast cancers from the ultrasound images at a very early stage.

Where is the centre of percussion in accelerated handheld implements?
Creators: name: Fuss, Franz
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Handheld implements are usually accelerated. The hand generates a free moment required for acceleration. By considering this torque, the centre of pressure moves further away from the centre of mass of the implement. In implements accelerated by a torque before impact, the centre of pressure is closer to the tip of the implement than in stationary implements. The hand force as a function of time was obtained from simulating impacts at various locations in an implement accelerated by a torque. The hand force was never zero throughout the impact. In higher impact locations, the hand force is negative first and then becomes positive. At the transition from positive to negative, the hand force is instantaneously zero. In lower impact locations, the hand force is always negative.

description: A field trial was conducted to study the interspecific competition, growth and productivity of maize and pea in
intercropping mixture in the department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University from November
2009 to April 2010. In this intercrop association, maize was considered as main crop and pea as intercrop. The
experiment comprised of four treatments namely, (i) sole maize, (ii) sole pea, (iii) single row intercropping
mixture (1M:1P i.e. single row of maize followed by single row of pea), and (iv) double row intercropping mixture
(1M:2P i.e., single row of maize followed by double rows of pea). Dry matter accumulation in cob/pod of each
population plants was the maximum in sole cropped plants while that was found minimum in 1M: 2P
intercropped plants especially for pea while 1M: 1P intercropped plants ranked intermediate. The 1M:2P
combined maize and pea mixture produced maximum seed yield (7.82 t ha-1) which was about 10, 28 and 47%
higher yield than the yield obtained from 1M:1P combined mixture stands (7.04 t ha-1), sole maize (5.65 t ha-1)
and sole pea (4.15 t ha-1), respectively. The single and double row combined intercropping mixtures gave the
highest land equivalent ratio (1.31 and 1.47) and area time equivalent ratio (1.33 and 1.25, respectively). In both
1M: 1P and 1M: 2P intercropping mixtures, maize population exhibited strongly higher competition over pea. The
1M: 1P and 1M: 2P intercropping mixtures generated 1.44 and 1.71-fold higher maize equivalent yield as
compared to the yield obtained from maize alone.

description: Recent advancements in fabrication techniques have enabled unprecedented clean interfaces and gate tunability in semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures. Inspired by these developments, we propose protocols to realize Thouless quantum pumping in electrically tunable Josephson junction arrays. We analyze, in particular, the implementation of the Rice-Mele and the Harper-Hofstadter pumping schemes, whose realization would validate these systems as flexible platforms for quantum simulations. We investigate numerically the long-time behavior of chains of controllable superconducting islands in the Coulomb-blockaded regime. Our findings provide new insights into the dynamics of periodically driven interacting systems and highlight the robustness of Thouless pumping with respect to boundary effects typical of superconducting circuits.

description: Optomechanical systems with parametric coupling between optical (photon) and mechanical (phonon) modes provide a useful platform to realize various magnetic-free nonreciprocal devices, such as isolators, circulators, and directional amplifiers. However, nonreciprocal router with multiaccess channels has not been extensively studied yet. Here, we propose a nonreciprocal router with one transmitter, one receiver, and two output terminals, based on an optomechanical plaquette composing of two optical modes and two mechanical modes. The time-reversal symmetry of the system is broken via synthetic magnetism induced by driving the two optical modes with phase-correlated laser fields. The prerequisites for nonreciprocal routing are obtained both analytically and numerically, and the robustness of the nonreciprocity is demonstrated numerically. Multi-terminal nonreciprocal router in optomechanical plaquette provides a useful quantum node for development of quantum network information security and realization of quantum secure communication.

description: Two-photon state with spatial entanglement is an essential resource for testing fundamental laws of quantum mechanics and various quantum applications. Its creation typically relies on spontaneous parametric down-conversion in bulky nonlinear crystals where the tunability of spatial entanglement is limited. Here, we predict that ultrathin nonlinear lithium niobate metasurfaces can generate and diversely tune spatially entangled photon pairs. The spatial properties of photons including the emission pattern, rate, and degree of spatial entanglement are analysed theoretically with the coupled mode theory and Schmidt decomposition method. We show that by leveraging the strong angular dispersion of the metasurface, the degree of spatial entanglement quantified by the Schmidt number can be decreased or increased by changing the pump laser wavelength and a Gaussian beam size. This flexibility can facilitate diverse quantum applications of entangled photon states generated from nonlinear metasurfaces.

description: As a promising approach for optical nonreciprocity without magnetic materials, optomechanically induced nonreciprocity has great potential for all-optical controllable isolators and circulators on chips. However, as a very important issue in practical applications, the bandwidth for nonreciprocal transmission with high isolation has not been fully investigated yet. In this study we review the nonreciprocity in a Brillouin optomechanical system with single cavity and point out the challenge in achieving broad bandwidth with high isolation. To overcome this challenge, we propose a one dimensional optomechanical array to realize broadband optical nonreciprocity via nonreciprocal band structure. We exploit nonreciprocal band structure by the stimulated Brillouin scattering induced transparency with directional optical pumping, and show that it is possible to demonstrate optical nonreciprocity with both broad bandwidth and high isolation. Such Brillouin optomechanical lattices with nonreciprocal band structure, offer an avenue to explore nonreciprocal collective effects in different electromagnetic and mechanical frequency regimes, such as nonreciprocal topological photonic and phononic phases.

description: The `operator entanglement' of a quantum operator $O$ is a useful indicator of its complexity, and, in one-dimension, of its approximability by matrix product operators. Here we focus on spin chains with a global $U(1)$ conservation law, and on operators $O$ with a well-defined $U(1)$ charge, for which it is possible to resolve the operator entanglement of $O$ according to the $U(1)$ symmetry. We employ the notion of symmetry resolved operator entanglement (SROE) introduced in [PRX Quantum 4, 010318 (2023)] and extend the results of the latter paper in several directions. Using a combination of conformal field theory and of exact analytical and numerical calculations in critical free fermionic chains, we study the SROE of the thermal density matrix $ρ_β= e^{- βH}$ and of charged local operators evolving in Heisenberg picture $O = e^{i t H} O e^{-i t H}$. Our main results are: i) the SROE of $ρ_β$ obeys the operator area law; ii) for free fermions, local operators in Heisenberg picture can have a SROE that grows logarithmically in time or saturates to a constant value; iii) there is equipartition of the entanglement among all the charge sectors except for a pair of fermionic creation and annihilation operators.

The design strain and dead mass of energy absorbing materials and structures: mathematical principles and experimental determination
Creators: name: Fuss, Franz
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The most important design parameters of energy absorbers are a) the maximal ratio of energy density W to stress σ, i.e. (W/σ)max, misnamed ‘efficiency’, and b) the maximal admissible strain ɛmax at this ratio. This paper models standard energy absorbing elements and determines the theoretical (W/σ)max and ɛmax. The theoretical data are then compared to experimental ones, obtained from compression experiments. A method for correcting (W/σ)max of materials with pronounced negative modulus (over a defined strain window) is introduced. The maximal gradient, of logW versus logσ, i.e. at the optimum point, is unity. (W/σ)max ranges from 0.2 to 0.55, and ɛmax from 0.48 to 0.81. Materials with negative modulus have higher (W/σ)max and ɛmax values. Better shock absorbers, with larger (W/σ)max, have less ‘dead mass’.

description: Recent progress with indium (III) sulfide (In2S3)-buffered thin film solar cells (TFSC) was briefly reviewed. In2S3 has emerged as a promising low-hazard buffer (or window) material, and has proven to improve the properties of the solar cells, while reducing toxicity. Various deposition techniques have been employed to synthesize In2S3 films on different types of substrates. Until now, atomic layer deposition (ALD) and ionic layer gas atomic reaction (ILGAR) techniques have been the two most successful, yielding maximum energy conversion efficiencies up to 16.4% and 16.1%, respectively. The impact of varied deposition parameters upon the In2S3 film properties and performance of cadmium (Cd)-free solar cells has been outlined. A comparative/operational analysis (solar cell efficiencies above 9% reported for cell area ≤ 1cm2) of various buffer layers used in two primary types of TFSC technology: chalcopyrite (CIS/CIGS)- and CdTe-based solar cells was also performed to measure the progress of In2S3 compared to its counterparts.

description: Anyons obeying fractional exchange statistics arise naturally in two dimensions: hard-core two-body constraints make the configuration space of particles not simply-connected. The braid group describes how topologically-inequivalent exchange paths can be associated to non-trivial geometric phases for abelian anyons. Braid-anyon exchange statistics can also be found in one dimension (1D), but this requires broken Galilean invariance to distinguish different ways for two anyons to exchange. However, recently it was shown that an alternative form of exchange statistics can occur in 1D because hard-core three-body constraints also make the configuration space not simply-connected. Instead of the braid group, the topology of exchange paths and their associated non-trivial geometric phases are described by the traid group. In this article we propose a first concrete model realizing this alternative form of anyonic exchange statistics. Starting from a bosonic lattice model that implements the desired geometric phases with number-dependent Peierls phases, we then define anyonic operators so that the kinetic energy term in the Hamiltonian becomes local and quadratic with respect to them. The ground-state of this traid-anyon-Hubbard model exhibits several indications of exchange statistics intermediate between bosons and fermions, as well as signs of emergent approximate Haldane exclusion statistics. The continuum limit results in a Galilean invariant Hamiltonian with eigenstates that correspond to previously constructed continuum wave functions for traid anyons. This provides not only an a-posteriori justification of our lattice model, but also shows that our construction serves as an intuitive approach to traid anyons, i.e. anyons intrinsic to 1D.

Investigation and Assessment of the Edge Grip of Snowboards with Laser Vibrometry – A Proposal of a Standardised Method
Creators: name: Fuss, Franz
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The edge grip of a snowboard defines its ability of holding the arc of a carving turn without intending to break out. In order to assess the vibrational movements of the edge under simulated loading conditions, two boards were put on the edge on a soft foam surface and loaded with 400N such that the boards bent under the added load and the edge was in full contact with the surface. The shovels of the boards were excited with a swept sine signal from 5-200Hz and the displacements measured with a laser vibrometer. The last edge point in contact with the surface proved to have the largest movement range. Maximal displacement was caused by the first torsional mode at 115-125Hz, followed by combined bending/torsional modes at lower frequencies (23-30Hz, 80-90Hz). One board exhibited a larger movement range in the first torsional mode compared to the other board, and the frequency peak of this mode was wider. The mobility index of this board, introduced in this study as the normalized area under the displacement curve of the last edge point, was 1.5 times higher than the index of the other board. The method used in this study offers an accurate quantification of the movement of the edge under standardized load conditions.

description: Point cloud analytics has become a critical workload for embedded and mobile platforms across various applications. Farthest point sampling (FPS) is a fundamental and widely used kernel in point cloud processing. However, the heavy external memory access makes FPS a performance bottleneck for real-time point cloud processing. Although bucket-based farthest point sampling can significantly reduce unnecessary memory accesses during the point sampling stage, the KD-tree construction stage becomes the predominant contributor to execution time. In this paper, we present FuseFPS, an architecture and algorithm co-design for bucket-based farthest point sampling. We first propose a hardware-friendly sampling-driven KD-tree construction algorithm. The algorithm fuses the KD-tree construction stage into the point sampling stage, further reducing memory accesses. Then, we design an efficient accelerator for bucket-based point sampling. The accelerator can offload the entire bucket-based FPS kernel at a low hardware cost. Finally, we evaluate our approach on various point cloud datasets. The detailed experiments show that compared to the state-of-the-art accelerator QuickFPS, FuseFPS achieves about 4.3$\times$ and about 6.1$\times$ improvements on speed and power efficiency, respectively.

description: A Kendo bamboo sword was instrumented with customized grip pressure sensors for right and left hand. The grip pressures were tested in the Kamai stance and during the Kote cut. In the Kamai stance, the grip pressure of the left hand was on average 6-7 times greater than the one of the right hand. In the pre-impact phase of the Kote cut the pressure distribution was similar to the Kamai stance. During the impact period, the grip pressure of both hands increases dramatically and the grip pressure of the right hand is 12% greater in the left hand. The smart Kendo sword is a useful tool for assessing the pressure distribution and feeding it back to the Kendoka.

description: In the standard use case of Algorithmic Fairness, the goal is to eliminate the relationship between a sensitive variable and a corresponding score. Throughout recent years, the scientific community has developed a host of definitions and tools to solve this task, which work well in many practical applications. However, the applicability and effectivity of these tools and definitions becomes less straightfoward in the case of multiple sensitive attributes. To tackle this issue, we propose a sequential framework, which allows to progressively achieve fairness across a set of sensitive features. We accomplish this by leveraging multi-marginal Wasserstein barycenters, which extends the standard notion of Strong Demographic Parity to the case with multiple sensitive characteristics. This method also provides a closed-form solution for the optimal, sequentially fair predictor, permitting a clear interpretation of inter-sensitive feature correlations. Our approach seamlessly extends to approximate fairness, enveloping a framework accommodating the trade-off between risk and unfairness. This extension permits a targeted prioritization of fairness improvements for a specific attribute within a set of sensitive attributes, allowing for a case specific adaptation. A data-driven estimation procedure for the derived solution is developed, and comprehensive numerical experiments are conducted on both synthetic and real datasets. Our empirical findings decisively underscore the practical efficacy of our post-processing approach in fostering fair decision-making.

description: Air-Shower universality describes the regularity in the longitudinal, lateral, and energy distributions of electromagnetic shower particles, as motivated by solutions of the cascade equations. To reconstruct air-shower observables from ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, we employ a universality-based model of shower development that incorporates hadronic particle components. Depending on the input parameters, the model can be used, for example, to estimate the depth of the shower maximum or the number of muons on event level. In this context, we present the expected performance for the reconstruction using air-shower simulations and data from the Pierre Auger Observatory.

description: Simulating the dynamics of large quantum systems is a formidable yet vital pursuit for obtaining a deeper understanding of quantum mechanical phenomena. While quantum computers hold great promise for speeding up such simulations, their practical application remains hindered by limited scale and pervasive noise. In this work, we propose an approach that addresses these challenges by employing circuit knitting to partition a large quantum system into smaller subsystems that can each be simulated on a separate device. The evolution of the system is governed by the projected variational quantum dynamics (PVQD) algorithm, supplemented with constraints on the parameters of the variational quantum circuit, ensuring that the sampling overhead imposed by the circuit knitting scheme remains controllable. We test our method on quantum spin systems with multiple weakly entangled blocks each consisting of strongly correlated spins, where we are able to accurately simulate the dynamics while keeping the sampling overhead manageable. Further, we show that the same method can be used to reduce the circuit depth by cutting long-ranged gates.

description: Extreme edge platforms, such as in-vehicle smart devices, require efficient deployment of quantized deep neural networks (DNNs) to enable intelligent applications with limited amounts of energy, memory, and computing resources. However, many edge devices struggle to boost inference throughput of various quantized DNNs due to the varying quantization levels, and these devices lack floating-point (FP) support for on-device learning, which prevents them from improving model accuracy while ensuring data privacy. To tackle the challenges above, we propose a precision-scalable RISC-V DNN processor with on-device learning capability. It facilitates diverse precision levels of fixed-point DNN inference, spanning from 2-bit to 16-bit, and enhances on-device learning through improved support with FP16 operations. Moreover, we employ multiple methods such as FP16 multiplier reuse and multi-precision integer multiplier reuse, along with balanced mapping of FPGA resources, to significantly improve hardware resource utilization. Experimental results on the Xilinx ZCU102 FPGA show that our processor significantly improves inference throughput by 1.6$\sim$14.6$\times$ and energy efficiency by 1.1$\sim$14.6$\times$ across various DNNs, compared to the prior art, XpulpNN. Additionally, our processor achieves a 16.5$\times$ higher FP throughput for on-device learning.

description: Abstract The growing complexity of data processing systems has long led systems designers to imagine systems (e.g. databases, schedulers) which can self-configure and adapt based on environmental cues. In this context, reinforcement learning (RL) methods have since their inception appealed to systems developers. They promise to acquire complex decision policies from raw feedback signals. Despite their conceptual popularity, RL methods are scarcely found in real-world data processing systems. Recently, RL has seen explosive growth in interest due to high profile successes when utilising large neural networks (deep reinforcement learning). Newly emerging machine learning frameworks and powerful hardware accelerators have given rise to a plethora of new potential applications. In this dissertation, I first argue that in order to design and execute deep RL algorithms efficiently, novel software abstractions are required which can accommodate the distinct computational patterns of communication-intensive and fast-evolving algorithms. I propose an architecture which decouples logical algorithm construction from local and distributed execution semantics. I further present RLgraph, my proof-of-concept implementation of this architecture. In RLgraph, algorithm developers can explore novel designs by constructing a high-level data flow graph through combination of logical components. This dataflow graph is independent of specific backend frameworks or notions of execution, and is only later mapped to execution semantics via a staged build process. RLgraph enables high-performing algorithm implementations while maintaining flexibility for rapid prototyping. Second, I investigate reasons for the scarcity of RL applications in systems themselves. I argue that progress in applied RL is hindered by a lack of tools for task model design which bridge the gap between systems and algorithms, and also by missing shared standards for evaluation of model capabilities. I introduce Wield, a first-of-its-kind tool for incremental model design in applied RL. Wield provides a small set of primitives which decouple systems interfaces and deployment-specific configuration from representation. Core to Wield is a novel instructive experiment protocol called progressive randomisation which helps practitioners to incrementally evaluate different dimensions of non-determinism. I demonstrate how Wield and progressive randomisation can be used to reproduce and assess prior work, and to guide implementation of novel RL applications.
THE POTENTIAL OF BACTERIOPHAGE THERAPY AS AN ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT FOR ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT INFECTIONS

description: Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses found abundantly in the environment and have the ability to infect, replicate within, and ultimately destroy bacteria in a highly specific manner during their lytic phase. Unlike antibiotics, phages have a much narrower host range, making them a promising supplement or even alternative to antibiotic therapy, particularly when combating multiple drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections, where antibiotics often fail. The concept of bacteriophage therapy is not new. In fact, bacteriophages were first identified in the early 20th century, with Felix d'Herelle pioneering their therapeutic use after British bacteriologist Frederick W. Twort first described bacterial lysis in 1915. The former Soviet Union consistently used phages to treat infections like gastrointestinal diseases and gas gangrene in soldiers. However, in the Western world, phage therapy fell out of favor following the discovery of penicillin after World War II.

description: The modeling of multistage manufacturing systems (MMSs) has attracted increased attention from both academia and industry. Recent advancements in deep learning methods provide an opportunity to accomplish this task with reduced cost and expertise. This study introduces a stochastic deep Koopman (SDK) framework to model the complex behavior of MMSs. Specifically, we present a novel application of Koopman operators to propagate critical quality information extracted by variational autoencoders. Through this framework, we can effectively capture the general nonlinear evolution of product quality using a transferred linear representation, thus enhancing the interpretability of the data-driven model. To evaluate the performance of the SDK framework, we carried out a comparative study on an open-source dataset. The main findings of this paper are as follows. Our results indicate that SDK surpasses other popular data-driven models in accuracy when predicting stagewise product quality within the MMS. Furthermore, the unique linear propagation property in the stochastic latent space of SDK enables traceability for quality evolution throughout the process, thereby facilitating the design of root cause analysis schemes. Notably, the proposed framework requires minimal knowledge of the underlying physics of production lines. It serves as a virtual metrology tool that can be applied to various MMSs, contributing to the ultimate goal of Zero Defect Manufacturing.
Measurement of the coefficient of friction and the centre of pressure of a curved surface of a climbing handhold

description: A smart climbing hold with variable inclination of the grip surface was developed, instrumented with two triaxial force transducers. The inclination of the cylindrical grip surface was varied by adding 10 mm panels to the wall, thereby confining the surface to larger inclinations. The difficulty of gripping the hold with variable surface inclination was reflected in the vertical and horizontal forces, which decreased as the inclination increased, and in the increasing angle of the average force vector.

A method for accurate measurement of the non-linear rolling friction coefficient between an instrumented ball and a surface
Creators: name: Weizman, Yehuda

name: Doljin, Batdelger
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The non-linear velocity-dependent rolling friction coefficient between a rigid ball and soft surface was determined by instrumenting the ball with a triaxial gyroscope and converting the spin rate to translational velocity. The latter was differentiated numerically and the resulting translational acceleration was normalised to the gravitational acceleration in order to obtain the rolling friction coefficient. The rolling friction coefficient between a rigid sphere and a foam surface increased with velocity and consisted of three components: a sharp increase in friction coefficient at slow velocities, starting at the static rolling friction coefficient; a constant coefficient at medium velocities; and a coefficient increasing with velocity squared at higher velocities.

description: Nonlinear electromagnetic response functions have reemerged as a crucial tool for studying quantum materials. Most attention has been paid to responses to spatially uniform electric fields, relevant to optical experiments in conventional materials. However, magnetic and magnetoelectric phenomena are naturally connected by responses to spatially varying electric fields due to Maxwell's equations. Furthermore, in moiré materials, characteristic lattice scales are much longer, allowing spatial variation of optical electric fields to potentially have a measurable effect in experiments. To address these issues, we develop a formalism for computing linear and nonlinear responses to spatially inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields. Starting with the continuity equation, we derive an expression for the current operator that is manifestly conserved and model independent. Crucially, our formalism makes no assumptions on the form of the microscopic Hamiltonian and so is applicable to model Hamiltonians derived from tight-binding or ab initio calculations. We then develop a diagrammatic Kubo formalism for computing the wavevector dependence of linear and nonlinear conductivities, using Ward identities to fix the value of the diamagnetic current order-by-order in the vector potential. We apply our formula to compute the magnitude of the Kerr effect at oblique incidence for a model of a moiré Chern insulator and demonstrate the experimental relevance of spatially inhomogeneous fields in these systems. We further show how our formalism allows us to compute the magnetic multipole moments and magnetic susceptibility in insulators. We next use our formalism to compute the second-order transverse response to spatially varying transverse electric fields in our moiré Chern insulator model, with an eye towards the next generation of experiments in these systems.
