description: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agents have shown impressive ability in mastering computer games, but notoriously take a long time to learn. As an agent progresses through a game, it will often encounter new states containing previously unencountered game entities, e.g., new enemies. In such situations, DRL agents typically struggle to generalise their prior knowledge to the new entities, owing to differences in state and object representations. In particular, even when new entities behave similarly to previously encountered ones, if they appear to be different then DRL agents can take a long time to adapt. Policy transfer learning offers a promising approach for allowing DRL agents to adapt their knowledge; however, establishing the connection between the newly presented states (the target task) and previously encountered ones (the source task) requires guidance from a domain expert. Guidance in the form of externally constructed mapping of state-action pairings, must be continually maintained in response to new game entity encounters.

This thesis proposes an alternative approach, where policy transfer is accomplished by leveraging an intermediate state transformation, removing the need for manual mapping. Each entity is mapped to a unique entity ID, and when a new game entity is encountered, a “substitution agent” strives to learn a mapping between the new entity ID and a previously encountered one. For example, if the new entity is a type of enemy, the substitution agent will ideally learn to map the new ID to a previously encountered enemy’s ID, rather than, say, the ID of a powerup item. Experimental results show that this approach is effective, allowing for rapid improvement of end-of-episode scores when encountering new entity representations in the game, Infinite Mario

description: We focus on large blackouts in electric distribution systems caused by extreme winds. Such events have a large cost and impact on customers. To quantify resilience to these events, we formulate large event risk and show how to calculate it from the historical outage data routinely collected by utilities' outage management systems. Risk is defined using an event cost exceedance curve. The tail of this curve and the large event risk is described by the probability of a large cost event and the slope magnitude of the tail on a log-log plot. Resilience can be improved by planned investments to upgrade system components or speed up restoration. The benefits that these investments would have had if they had been made in the past can be quantified by "rerunning history" with the effects of the investment included, and then recalculating the large event risk to find the improvement in resilience. An example using utility data shows a 12% and 22% reduction in the probability of a large cost event due to 10% wind hardening and 10% faster restoration respectively. This new data-driven approach to quantify resilience and resilience investments is realistic and much easier to apply than complicated approaches based on modeling all the phases of resilience. Moreover, an appeal to improvements to past lived experience may well be persuasive to customers and regulators in making the case for resilience investments.

description: Automatic classification of dermatological images is an important technology that assists doctors in performing faster and more accurate classification of skin diseases. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformer networks have been employed in learning respectively the local and global features of lesion images. However, existing works mainly focus on utilizing a single neural network for feature extraction, which limits the model classification performance. In order to tackle this problem, a novel fusion model, named ConvNeXt-ST-AFF, is proposed in this paper, by combining the strengths of ConvNeXt and Swin Transformer (ConvNeXt-ST in the model’s name). In the proposed model, the pretrained ConvNeXt and Swin Transformer networks extract local and global features from images, which are then fused using Attentional Feature Fusion (AFF) submodules (AFF in the model’s name). Additionally, in order to enhance the model’s attention on the regions of skin lesions during training, an Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) module is incorporated into the ConvNeXt network. Moreover, the proposed model employs a denoising module to reduce the influence of artifacts and improve the image contrast. The results, obtained by experiments conducted on two datasets, demonstrate that the proposed ConvNeXt?ST-AFF model has higher classification ability, according to multiple evaluation metrics, compared to the original ConvNeXt and Swin Transformer, and other state-of-the-art classification models.

description: The study of very short-period contact binaries provides an important laboratory in which the most important and problematic astrophysical processes of stellar evolution take place. Short-period contact systems, such as CC Com are particularly important for binary evolution. Close binary systems, especially those with multiple system members, have significant period variations, angular momentum loss mechanisms predominance, and pre-merger stellar evolution, making them valuable astrophysical laboratories. In this study, observations of CC Com, previously reported as a binary system, and new observations from the TÜBİTAK National Observatory (TUG) and the space-based telescope TESS have revealed that there is a third object with a period of about eight years and a fourth object with a period of about a century orbiting the binary system. From simultaneous analysis of all available light curves and radial velocities, the sensitive orbital and physical parameters of the system components are derived. The orbital parameters of the components are P$_{\rm A}=0.221\pm0$ days, P$_{\rm B}=7.9\pm0.1$ yr, P$_{\rm C}=98\pm5$ yr, $e_3$ = 0.06, $e_4$ = 0.44 and the physical parameters as M$_{\rm A1}=0.712\pm0.009$ M$_{\odot}$, M$_{\rm A2}=0.372\pm0.005$ M$_{\odot}$, $m_{B;i'=90^\circ}$=0.074 M$_{\odot}$, $m_{C;i'=90^\circ}$=0.18 M$_{\odot}$, R$_{\rm A1}=0.693\pm0.006$ R$_{\odot}$, R$_{\rm A2}=0.514\pm0.005$ R$_{\odot}$, L$_{\rm A1}$ = 0.103 L$_\odot$, L$_{\rm A2}$ = 0.081 L$_\odot$. Finally, the evolutionary status of the multiple system CC Com and its component stars is discussed.

subject: Dynamical systems in applications

description: With the continuous growth in computational power, the field of machine learning, particularly in neural networks, has seen remarkable advancements. However, improving model performance through faster training and simplified architecture remains application-dependent, with specific needs in areas such as time-sensitive tasks or resource-limited environments. This thesis addresses these needs by accelerating neural network learning and simplifying architectures in the context of big data applications, focusing on both improving computational efficiency and practical usability. To accommodate the increasingly large model structures and meet the demands for faster computation, extensive research has been conducted on algorithms that accelerate learning and architecture search methodologies that simplify model designs, thereby enhancing the overall performance of neural networks. The work is broadly categorized into three parts spanning problems of convergence speed to architecture search, as well as their application on big data scenario. Firstly, by modifying the gradients of recently proposed finite time algorithms, attempts are made to incorporate the terminal slide mode. This is aiming to achieve faster convergence in shallow neural networks. To extend the benefits of accelerated convergence to deep neural net-works, the rescaled gradient descent is further modified by altering the norm types. When evaluated across various benchmarks, this approach yields significantly improved convergence speeds compared with methods utilizing momentum or Nesterov accelerated gradient. Secondly, this work simplifies model neural network through architecture search. Genetic algorithms are employed with flexible genotype encoding, featuring different numbers of potential neurons in hidden layers, and finds a satisfactory balance between a large search space and rapid convergence by adjusting mutation and crossover operations. Several multi-layer patterns are discovered through time series prediction tasks on four real-world datasets. Different search space architectures across benchmarks are compared to validate their reliability. Lastly, to meet the demands of big data environments, distributed and parallel learning are thoroughly discussed respectively. For distributed learning, a combination of various acceleration techniques maximizes GPU efficiency and significantly reduces computation time. Parallel genetic algorithms and GPU grouping strategies are proposed and compared across various image recognition datasets. The results offer recommendations for GPU grouping under limited resources based on search space coverage and the avoidance of premature convergence to local optimal solution.

description: The angular correlation is a method for measuring the distribution of structure in the Universe, through the statistical properties of the angular distribution of galaxies on the sky. We measure the angular correlation of galaxies from the second data release of the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky Murchison Widefield Array eXtended survey (GLEAM-X) survey, a low-frequency radio survey covering declinations below +30 degrees. We find an angular distribution consistent with the LambdaCDM cosmological model assuming the best fitting cosmological parameters from Planck Collaboration et al. (2020). We fit a bias function to the discrete tracers of the underlying matter distribution, finding a bias that evolves with redshift in either a linear or exponential fashion to be a better fit to the data than a constant bias. We perform a covariance analysis to obtain an estimation of the properties of the errors, by analytic, jackknife and sample variance means. Our results are consistent with previous studies on the topic, and also the predictions of the LambdaCDM cosmological model.

description: We studied the transport and deposition behaviour of point particles in Rayleigh-Bénard convection cells subjected to Couette-type wall shear. Direct numerical simulations (DNSs) are performed for Rayleigh number ($Ra$) in the range $10^7 \leq Ra \leq 10^9$ with a fixed Prandtl number $Pr = 0.71$, while the wall-shear Reynolds number ($Re_w$) is in the range $0 \leq Re_w \leq 12000$. With the increase of $Re_w$, the large-scale rolls expanded horizontally, evolving into zonal flow in two-dimensional simulations or streamwise-oriented rolls in three-dimensional simulations. We observed that, for particles with a small Stokes number ($St$), they either circulated within the large-scale rolls when buoyancy dominated or drifted near the walls when shear dominated. For medium $St$ particles, pronounced spatial inhomogeneity and preferential concentration were observed regardless of the prevailing flow state. For large $St$ particles, the turbulent flow structure had a minor influence on the particles' motion; although clustering still occurred, wall shear had a negligible influence compared with that for medium $St$ particles. We then presented the settling curves to quantify the particle deposition ratio on the walls. Our DNS results aligned well with previous theoretical predictions, which state that small $St$ particles settle with an exponential deposition ratio and large $St$ particles settle with a linear deposition ratio. For medium $St$ particles, where complex particle-turbulence interaction emerges, we developed a new model describing the settling process with an initial linear stage followed by a nonlinear stage. Unknown parameters in our model can be determined either by fitting the settling curves or using empirical relations. Compared with DNS results, our model also accurately predicts the average residence time across a wide range of $St$ for various $Re_w$.

subject: Industrial electronics

description: The significant fluctuations in the price of rare earth magnetic materials have shifted research focus toward developing rare earth-free electric motors. The Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) emerges as a promising candidate, offering the potential to compete with Permanent Magnet Machines while maintaining the affordability, simplicity, and ease of maintenance seen in Induction Machines. This research aims to develop a fast and accurate model of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor to generate optimal designs that enhance its performance.

The primary contribution of this work is the development of a generalized Magnetic Equivalent Circuit (MEC) model for Synchronous Reluctance Motors, applicable across various pole-slot combinations and rotor barrier numbers. This generalized model efficiently analyzes numerous machine topologies and refines candidate machine designs, reducing the number of high-fidelity finite element simulations required throughout the optimization process. Initially, a two-pole model of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor with a single barrier was developed, iterated for all rotor pole and stator teeth combinations. Air-gap permeance modeling was also investigated, accommodating the rotor’s rotational movement. The proposed model predicts machine performance indices from design parameters, achieving a 92% accuracy compared to finite element analysis but with significantly reduced computation time.

 Sensitivity analysis on various SynRM geometrical parameters identified high-sensitivity and low-sensitivity parameters, optimizing the former with finite element analysis and the latter using the MEC model. This targeted approach helps narrow the design space, reducing optimization time and complexity.

Additionally, multi-objective optimization was conducted using a high-performance computer with an Intel Xeon W7-3445 processor, demonstrating significant efficiency improvements. Implementing the mathematical model resulted in optimization time reductions ranging from 50% to 70%, depending on the task. This highlights the MEC model's practicality for initial design evaluations before high-fidelity finite element analysis, providing a balanced approach to accuracy and computational efficiency, and advancing more efficient motor designs.

description: Traditional pulsar surveys have primarily employed time-domain periodicity searches. However, these methods are susceptible to effects like scattering, eclipses and orbital motion. At lower radio frequencies (<= 300 MHz), factors such as dispersion measure and pulse broadening become more prominent, reducing the detection sensitivity. On the other hand, image domain searches for pulsars are not limited by these effects and can extend the parameter space to regions inaccessible to traditional search techniques. Therefore, we have developed a pipeline to form 1-second full Stokes images from offline correlated high time-resolution data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). This led to the development of image-based methodologies to identify new pulsar candidates. In this paper, we applied these methodologies to perform a low-frequency image-based pulsar census of the Galactic Plane ( 12 MWA observations, covering ~6000 deg^2 sky ). This work focuses on the detection of the known pulsar population which were present in the observed region of the sky using both image-based and beamformed methods. This resulted in the detection of 83 known pulsars, with 16 pulsars found only in Stokes I images but not in periodicity searches applied in beamformed data. Notably, for 14 pulsars these are the first reported low-frequency detections. This underscores the importance of image-based searches for pulsars that may be undetectable in time-series data, due to scattering and/or dispersive smearing at low frequencies. This highlights the importance of low-frequency flux density measurements in refining pulsar spectral models and investigating the spectral turnover of pulsars at low frequencies.

description: We investigate electrical charge transport in hot magnetized plasma using first-principles quantum field theoretical methods. By employing Kubo's linear response theory, we express the electrical conductivity tensor in terms of the fermion damping rate in the Landau-level representation. Utilizing leading-order results for the damping rates from a recent study within a gauge theory, we derive the transverse and longitudinal conductivities for a strongly magnetized plasma. The analytical expressions reveal drastically different mechanisms that explain the high anisotropy of charge transport in a magnetized plasma. Specifically, the transverse conductivity is suppressed, while the longitudinal conductivity is enhanced by a strong magnetic field. As in the case of zero magnetic field, longitudinal conduction is determined by the probability of charge carriers to remain in their quantum states without damping. In contrast, transverse conduction critically relies on quantum transitions between Landau levels, effectively lifting charge trapping in localized Landau orbits. We examine the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the transverse and longitudinal electrical conductivities over a wide range of parameters and investigate the effects of a nonzero chemical potential. Additionally, we extend our analysis to strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma and study the impact of the coupling constant on the anisotropy of electrical charge transport.

On the streamwise velocity variance in the near-wall region of turbulent flows

description: We study the behaviour of the streamwise velocity variance in turbulent wall-bounded flows using a DNS database of pipe flow up to $Re_τ \approx 12000$. The analysis of the spanwise spectra in the viscous near-wall region strongly hints to the presence of an overlap layer between the inner- and the outer-scaled spectral ranges, featuring a $k_θ^{-1+α}$ decay (with $k_θ$ the wavenumber in the azimuthal direction, and $α\approx 0.18$), hence shallower than suggested by the classical formulation of the attached-eddy model. The key implication is that the contribution to the streamwise velocity variance from the largest scales of motion (superstructures) slowly declines as $Re_τ^{-α}$, and the integrated variance follows a defect power law of the type $\left< u^2 \right>^+ = A - B \, Re_τ^{-α}$, with constants $A$ and $B$ depending on $y^+$. The DNS data very well support this behaviour, which implies that strict wall scaling is restored in the infinite Reynolds number limit. The extrapolated limit distribution of the streamwise velocity variance features a buffer-layer peak value of $\left< u^2 \right>^+ \approx 12.1$, and an additional outer peak with larger magnitude. The analysis of the velocity spectra also suggests a similar behaviour of the dissipation rate of the streamwise velocity variance at the wall, which is expected to attain a limiting value of about $0.28$, hence slightly exceeding the value $0.25$ which was assumed in previous analyses~\citep{chen_21}. We have found evidence suggesting that the reduced near-wall influence of wall-attached eddies is likely linked to the formation of underlying turbulent Stokes layers.
