title: Multi-objective optimisation of low-thrust trajectories

description: This research work developed an innovative computational approach to the preliminary design of low-thrust trajectories optimising multiple mission criteria. Low-Thrust (LT) propulsion has become the propulsion system of choice for a number of near Earth and interplanetary missions. Consequently, in the last two decades a good wealth of research has been devoted to the development of computational method to design low-thrust trajectories. Most of the techniques, however, minimise or maximise a single figure of merit under a set of design constraints. Less effort has been devoted to the development of efficient methods for the minimisation (or maximisation) of two or more figures of merit. On the other hand, in the preliminary mission design phase, the decision maker is interested in analysing as many design solutions as possible against different trade-off criteria. Therefore, in this PhD work, an innovative Multi-Objective (MO), memetic optimisation algorithm, called Multi-Agent Collaborative Search (MACS2), has been implemented to tackle low-thrust trajectory design problems with multiple figures of merit. Tests on both academic and real-world problems showed that the proposed MACS2 paradigm performs better than or as well as other state-of-the-art Multi-Objective optimisation algorithms. Concurrently, a set of novel approximated, first-order, analytical formulae has been developed, to obtain a fast but reliable estimation of the main trade-off criteria. These formulae allow for a fast propagation of the orbital motion under a constant perturbing acceleration. These formulae have been shown to allow for the fast and relatively accurate propagation of long LT trajectories under the typical acceleration level delivered by current engine technology. Various applications are presented to demonstrate the validity of the combination of the analytical formulae with MACS2. Among them, the preliminary design of the JAXA low-cost DESTINY mission to L2, a novel approach to the optimisation under uncertainty of deflection actions for Near Earth Objects (NEO), and the de-orbiting of space debris with low-thrust and with a combination of low-thrust and solar radiation pressure.
title: The thermal degradation of some polyelectrolytes
Creators: name: Zulfiqar, Muhammad
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Physical chemistry, polymer chemistry.

description: All naturally occurring polyelectrolytes are found in an aqueous environment and this feature directed most of the chemical research in this field towards an understanding of polyelectrolyte behaviour in aqueous solution. The very rapid and steady progress in the field of synthetic electrolyte applications in industry has naturally stimulated further interest in the problems of synthesis and thermal stability of this type of polymer. A brief definition of polyelectrolytes, their classification, and a discussion of tacticity and cation binding in these materials is presented in Chapter 1. The introductory chapter also reviews briefly the relationships between the chemical structure and thermal stability of vinyl polymers. Chapter 2 summarises the apparatus and experimental techniques employed in the present study. The first part deals with the thermal analysis techniques and the second section describes the techniques used to identify the degradation products both qualitatively and quantitatively. Monomer preparation, polymerization, and characterization of monomers and polymers is considered in detail in Chapter 3. A brief account of thermal stability of monomers is also included in this chapter. The thermal degradation of alkali metal salts of polymethacrylic acid is discussed in detail in Chapter 4. The decomposition of these homopolymers is shown to involve depolymerization accompanied by the formation of metal carbonate and cyclic ketones. A mechanism of thermal degradation of the salts of polymethacrylic acid is postulated based on the results obtained. Chapter 5 details the thermal decomposition of divalent metal salts of polymethacrylic acid, which provides further support for the mechanism proposed in Chapter 4. In Chapter 6 studies of the thermal degradation of zinc polymethacrylate are reported. The nature of the volatile products and structural changes which can occur during decomposition suggest a similar pattern of degradation to other salts. The maximum rate of volatilization of zinc polymethacrylate is shown to occur at lower temperature than those of other divalent metal salts. The thermal behaviour of ammonium polymethacrylate is examined in Chapter 7. Thermal decomposition is shown to result in a cyclization reaction between adjacent monomer units before fragmentation to volatile products. Comparisons are made between ammonium polymethacrylate, polymethacrylamide and polymethacrylic acid degradation, hence thermal decomposition of the latter homopolymers is also considered in Chapter 7.

description: The study was carried out to explore the different agricultural activities of the Santal women and their pattern of
satisfaction and dissatisfaction, being involved in the job. It was undertaken in Rajshahi, which infact represents
the greater area of Barind tract of Bangladesh. A sample of 120 Santal women engaged in different agricultural
activities were selected by using random sampling method. The study revealed that the common agricultural
activities were paddy cultivation, post-harvest operations, livestock rearing, poultry raising, maintenance of
mulberry trees and tree plantation. The economic independence, freedom of work and condition of the working
environment were the major factors, causing satisfaction to the Santal women. The main factors contributing to
the dissatisfaction were the non-availability of permanent work throughout the year (seasonal work) low salary
than the male labourer and more work less pay and lack of time for rest.

description: This paper introduces and compares the various techniques for identification and analysis of low frequency oscillations in a power system. Inter-area electromechanical oscillations are the focus of this paper. After multiresolution decomposition of characteristic signals, physical characteristics of system oscillations in signal components are identified and presented using the Fourier transform, Prony method, Matrix Pencil Analysis Method, S-transform, Global Wavelet Spectrum and Hilbert Huang transform (Hilbert Marginal Spectrum) in time-frequency domain representation. The analyses were performed on real frequency signals obtained from FNET GridEye system during the earthquake that triggered the shutdown of the North Anna Nuclear Generating Station in the east coast of the United States. In addition, according to the obtained results the proposed methods have proven to be reliable for identification of the model parameters of low-frequency oscillation in power systems. The relevant analyses are carried out in MATLAB coding environment.

description: We present a progress report of our project aiming to increase the number of known Cepheids in double-lined binary (SB2) systems from six to 100 or more. This will allow us, among other goals, to accurately measure masses for a large sample of Cepheids. Currently, only six accurate Cepheid masses are available, which hinders our understanding of their physical properties and renders the Cepheid mass--luminosity relation poorly constrained. At the same time, Cepheids are widely used for essential measurements (e.g., extragalactic distances, the Hubble constant). To examine Cepheid period--luminosity relations, we selected as binary candidates Cepheids that are too bright for their periods. To date, we have confirmed 56 SB2 systems, including the detection of significant orbital motions of the components for 32. We identified systems with orbital periods up to five times shorter than the shortest reported period to date, as well as systems with mass ratios significantly different from unity (suggesting past merger events). Both features are essential to understand how multiplicity affects the formation and destruction of Cepheid progenitors and what effect this has on global Cepheid properties. We also present eight new systems composed of two Cepheids (only one such system was known before). Among confirmed SB2 Cepheids, there are also several wide-orbit systems. In the future, these may facilitate independent accurate geometric distance measurements to the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.

description: Dimensionality reduction represents a critical preprocessing step in order to increase the efficiency and the performance of many hyperspectral imaging algorithms. However, dimensionality reduction algorithms, such as the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), suffer from their computationally demanding nature, becoming advisable for their implementation onto high-performance computer architectures for applications under strict latency constraints. This work presents the implementation of the PCA algorithm onto two different high-performance devices, namely, an NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and a Kalray manycore, uncovering a highly valuable set of tips and tricks in order to take full advantage of the inherent parallelism of these high-performance computing platforms, and hence, reducing the time that is required to process a given hyperspectral image. Moreover, the achieved results obtained with different hyperspectral images have been compared with the ones that were obtained with a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based implementation of the PCA algorithm that has been recently published, providing, for the first time in the literature, a comprehensive analysis in order to highlight the pros and cons of each option.

description: With the continuous evolution of networking technologies, multi-modal services that involve video, audio, and haptic contents are expected to become the dominant multimedia service in the near future. Edge caching is a key technology that can significantly reduce network load and content transmission latency, which is critical for the delivery of multi-modal contents. However, existing caching approaches only rely on a limited number of factors, e.g., popularity, to evaluate their importance for caching, which is inefficient for caching multi-modal contents, especially in dynamic network environments. To overcome this issue, we propose a content importance-based caching scheme which consists of a content importance evaluation model and a caching model. By leveraging dueling double deep Q networks (D3QN) model, the content importance evaluation model can adaptively evaluate contents' importance in dynamic networks. Based on the evaluated contents' importance, the caching model can easily cache and evict proper contents to improve caching efficiency. The simulation results show that the proposed content importance-based caching scheme outperforms existing caching schemes in terms of caching hit ratio (at least 15% higher), reduced network load (up to 22% reduction), average number of hops (up to 27% lower), and unsatisfied requests ratio (more than 47% reduction).

description: To this date the safety assessment of materials, used for example in the nuclear power sector, commonly relies on a fracture mechanical analysis utilizing macroscopic concepts, where a global load quantity K or J is compared to the materials fracture toughness curve. Part of the experimental effort involved in these concepts is dedicated to the quantitative analysis of fracture surfaces. Within the scope of this study a methodology for the semi-supervised training of deep learning models for fracture surface segmentation on a macroscopic level was established. Therefore, three distinct and unique datasets were created to analyze the influence of structural similarity on the segmentation capability. The structural similarity differs due to the assessed materials and specimen, as well as imaging-induced variance due to fluctuations in image acquisition in different laboratories. The datasets correspond to typical isolated laboratory conditions, complex real-world circumstances, and a curated subset of the two. We implemented a weak-to-strong consistency regularization for semi-supervised learning. On the heterogeneous dataset we were able to train robust and well-generalizing models that learned feature representations from images across different domains without observing a significant drop in prediction quality. Furthermore, our approach reduced the number of labeled images required for training by a factor of 6. To demonstrate the success of our method and the benefit of our approach for the fracture mechanics assessment, we utilized the models for initial crack size measurements with the area average method. For the laboratory setting, the deep learning assisted measurements proved to have the same quality as manual measurements. For models trained on the heterogeneous dataset, very good measurement accuracies with mean deviations smaller than 1 % could be achieved...

description: The integration of sensor data is crucial in the field of robotics to take full advantage of the various sensors employed. One critical aspect of this integration is determining the extrinsic calibration parameters, such as the relative transformation, between each sensor. The use of data fusion between complementary sensors, such as radar and LiDAR, can provide significant benefits, particularly in harsh environments where accurate depth data is required. However, noise included in radar sensor data can make the estimation of extrinsic calibration challenging. To address this issue, we present a novel framework for the extrinsic calibration of radar and LiDAR sensors, utilizing CycleGAN as amethod of image-to-image translation. Our proposed method employs translating radar bird-eye-view images into LiDAR-style images to estimate the 3-DOF extrinsic parameters. The use of image registration techniques, as well as deskewing based on sensor odometry and B-spline interpolation, is employed to address the rolling shutter effect commonly present in spinning sensors. Our method demonstrates a notable improvement in extrinsic calibration compared to filter-based methods using the MulRan dataset.

description: At present, there is no doubt that relativistic jets observed in active galactic nuclei pass from highly magnetized to weakly magnetized stage, which is observed as a break in the dependence on their width $d_{\rm jet}(z)$ on the distance $z$ to the central engine. In this paper, we discuss the possibility of observing another break, which should be located at shorter distances. The position of this break can be associated with the region of formation of the dense central core near the jet axis which was predicted both analytically and numerically more than a decade ago, but has not yet received sufficient attention. In this case, the observed width should be determined by the dense core, and not by the total transverse size of the jet. The calculations carried out in this paper, which took into account both the transverse electromagnetic structure of the jet and the change in the spectrum of emitting particles along its axis, indeed showed such behaviour. We also found the evidence of the predicted break in the jet expansion profile using stacked 15 GHz VLBA image of M87 radio jet and constrain the light cylinder radius.

description: The Electric Network Frequency (ENF) serves as a unique signature inherent to power distribution systems. Here, a novel approach for power grid classification is developed, leveraging ENF. Spectrograms are generated from audio and power recordings across different grids, revealing distinctive ENF patterns that aid in grid classification through a fusion of classifiers. Four traditional machine learning classifiers plus a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), optimized using Neural Architecture Search, are developed for One-vs-All classification. This process generates numerous predictions per sample, which are then compiled and used to train a shallow multi-label neural network specifically designed to model the fusion process, ultimately leading to the conclusive class prediction for each sample. Experimental findings reveal that both validation and testing accuracy outperform those of current state-of-the-art classifiers, underlining the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methodology.

description: We employ first-principles density-functional theory, to perform a comparative investigation of the effect of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the electronic and magnetic properties of three experimentally synthesized and characterized hexagonal perovskites Sr$_3$MIrO$_6$(M=Mg, Zn, Cd). The electronic structure calculations show that in all the compounds, Ir is the only magnetically active site in +4[5$d^5$] configuration, whereas M$^{+2}$ (M=Cd, Zn, Mg), remains in nonmagnetic states with Cd/Zn and Mg featuring $d^{10}$ and $d^{0}$ electronic configurations, respectively. The insulating gap could be opened by switching on the correlation parameter $U$ for Sr$_3$CdrO$_6$ and Sr$_3$ZnIrO$_6$ which qualifies it to be a correlated Mott insulator. However, in the case of Sr$_3$MgIrO$_6$ both $U$ and antiferromagnetic ordering is not enough and the gap could only be opened by including the SOC which classifies it to fall under the category of a typical SOC Mott insulator. The $j_{eff}$ states are visualized from the orbital projected band structure. The magnetism is studied from the point of view of exchange interactions and magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the presence of the SOC. We also present the comparative analysis of the renormalized impact of SOC on the three compounds, which shows that all the three compounds fall under the $intermediate$ coupling regime, where Sr$_3$MgIrO$_6$ is comparatively closer to the atomic $j_{eff}=\frac{1}{2}$ picture from the others.

description: The link between haemodynamics and cardiac tissue mechanics is an active area of research in developmental biology. Nevertheless, previous study of fluid-structure interaction in the developing heart was mostly confined to single projection blood flow measurements or computational fluid dynamics simulations using only the information of the heart wall structure. Hence, techniques capable of direct 3D + time resolved blood flow and heart wall motion are necessary to deepen the understanding of the cardiac function in the developing heart. This work presents an imaging system which combines selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM), with optical gating techniques, and micro particle image velocimetry (uPIV). This combination (referred here as SPIM-uPIV) allowed non-invasively measuring blood flow in the developing zebrafish heart in a depth and time-resolved manner. Our system surpasses conventional uPIV measurement systems based on wide-field illumination which suffer from measurement errors due to volume illumination of the sample. The proposed SPIM-uPIV system was validated in a control microfluidics experiment where flow of fluorescent microspheres was measured in a 50 um diameter tube. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed to compare our SPIM-uPIV against conventional brightfield-uPIV measurements. Furthermore, this work implements a different metric for “cross-correlation” which was empirically found to perform better than the traditional algorithm used in PIV analysis, when motion of large particles is measured. By implementing optical gating techniques to our analysis, 3D + time blood flow measurements in the beating hearts of 3, 4, and 5 day old zebrafish hearts were obtained. The recovered 3D + time velocity information enabled further investigation of the heart function such as the pumping efficiency which was obtained by calculating the flow rate through a section of a heart chamber. In summary, it is proposed that SPIM-uPIV system can be a useful tool for direct bloodflow measurements in transparent small-animal models. Such measurements would benefit the current knowledge of fluid-structure interaction phenomena in the developing heart, and could be used to validate previous work by other groups

description: Choerolophodon pentelici (GAUDRY & LARTET, 1856) The SMNK collection includes only a score of postcranials. Because late Miocene Proboscidean postcranials have been neglected, these bones neither confirm nor refute GAZIRYʼs (1976) identification of Choerolophodon pentelici, but since this identification was based upon a tooth fragment, it can be accepted.

description: We show that state-of-the-art phase noise and high frequency stability could be simultaneously achieved in a microwave oscillator based on the sapphire-loaded cavity resonator. The 9 GHz sapphire oscillator was constructed with the SSB phase noise close to -170 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 10 kHz and fractional frequency instability less than 2 10$^{-13}$ for integration times from 5 to 50 s. In this work, we focus on the technique for phase-referencing the microwave sapphire oscillator to a stable radio-frequency source. We also discuss the suppression of the fast phase fluctuations of the microwave signal due to its transmission through the high-Q resonator.

description: Hipparionini gen. et sp. indet. A larger form seems to be slightly more common but, except for its larger size and more robust metapodials, it does not display any significant difference, except that enamel plication is perhaps stronger (Fig. 5 A-C). The premolars are relatively slightly shorter than in the C. cf. matthewi. The size of the metapodials would fit several late Miocene Aegean species, and I prefer not to suggest any identification.

Noise Suppression with Cryogenic Resonators

description: We show that fast technical fluctuations of microwave signals can be strongly suppressed by cryogenic resonators. The experiments were carried out with sapphire resonators cooled to approximately 6 K at frequencies around 11 GHz. Each sapphire crystal was shaped like a spindle with the rotational and crystal axes aligned within a degree. Noise suppression factors in excess of 50 dB were measured at 10 kHz offset from the carrier. This was achieved by rotating the sapphire spindle and moving the coupling probes relative to its surface. Microwave signals with reduced fast technical fluctuations allow the high-precision tests of fundamental physics, as well as the development of better radars.

Cremohipparion matthewi

description: Cremohipparion cf. matthewi (ABEL, 1926) There are two complete upper tooth-rows (Fig. 5 D), one with P3-M3, probably also a mandible with the front teeth and the premolars, and some more or less lower complete tooth-rows (Fig. 5 E-G). The length of the series P2-P4 ranges from 64 to 68 mm, that of M1-M3 from 53 to 57 mm. The protocone is large and rounded on the upper premolars, and tends to connect anteriorly to the protoloph; it is smaller and more transversally compressed on the molars. The pli caballin is small, and sometimes multiple on the premolars. On a mandible, the diastema is rather short and the third incisor looks unreduced, but the specimen is not fully adult. The metapodials are shorter and more slender than all other Turkish specimens measured by STAESCHE & SONDAAR (1979) from Kınık, Garkın, or Kayadibi, but are comparable with those of C. matthewi from Kemiklitepe A-B or Samos Q5 (KOUFOS & VLACHOU 2005, figs. 43-44). Although no substantial part of the skull is preserved, the size of the tooth-rows, and those of the short, slender metapodials unambiguously indicate that this hipparion belongs to a group of small-size forms, of which Cremohipparion matthewi is the most common representative, and we tentatively assign the small hipparion from Mahmutgazi to this species.

description: Data gathering is a fundamental task in Wireless Visual Sensor Networks (WVSNs). Features of directional antennas and the visual data make WVSNs more complex than the conventional Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The virtual backbone is a technique, which is capable of constructing clusters. The version associating with the aggregation operation is also referred to as the virtual backbone tree. In most of the existing literature, the main focus is on the efficiency brought by the construction of clusters that the existing methods neglect local-balance problems in general. To fill up this gap, Directional Virtual Backbone based Data Aggregation Scheme (DVBDAS) for the WVSNs is proposed in this paper. In addition, a measurement called the energy consumption density is proposed for evaluating the adequacy of results in the cluster-based construction problems. Moreover, the directional virtual backbone construction scheme is proposed by considering the local-balanced factor. Furthermore, the associated network coding mechanism is utilized to construct DVBDAS. Finally, both the theoretical analysis of the proposed DVBDAS and the simulations are given for evaluating the performance. The experimental results prove that the proposed DVBDAS achieves higher performance in terms of both the energy preservation and the network lifetime extension than the existing methods.
