description: The 2030 Geophysics Collections Project, co-funded by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), AuScope, the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) and Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), is focussed on positioning geophysical data collections to take advantage of High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure, current computational and data science methods, and best-practice  software engineering. To be usable in next-generation exascale environments, datasets must be fully FAIR-compliant and 'vertically integrated' to support greater transparency and reproducibility of research.

Using HPC, processing terabyte-scale field survey data now takes minutes rather than days or weeks. Researchers are increasingly demanding access to the minimally processed rawer datasets in usable data formats so that they can develop products for their specific case, rather than relying on generic analysis-ready products.

A key challenge has involved representing the 'vertical' relationship between different processed data products and the relevant source datasets. Datasets were organised according to the level of processing (e.g., distinguishing the raw packed time series from various level 1 or level 2 processed datasets). Detailed lineage statements enable derivative datasets to be associated with rawer forms, whilst higher-level data products reference the original raw time series data. Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) facilitated interlinking and referencing of different data products and related software, and ensuring citation for researchers and impact-tracking for data repositories, organisations and funders.

This presentation will provide recommendations from the 2030 project on data organisation and cataloguing to enhance FAIR data access, reuse and sharing across vertically-integrated datasets for next-generation computational infrastructures.

description: We present a self-organising, decentralised control method for material flows in networks. The concept applies to networks where time sharing mechanisms between conflicting flows in nodes are required and where a coordination of these local switches on a system-wide level can improve the performance. We show that, under certain assumptions, the control of nodes can be mapped to a network of phase-oscillators. By synchronising these oscillators, the desired global coordination is achieved. We illustrate the method in the example of traffic signal control for road networks. The proposed concept is flexible, adaptive, robust and decentralised. It can be transferred to other queuing networks such as production systems. Our control approach makes use of simple synchronisation principles found in various biological systems in order to obtain collective behaviour from local interactions.
Fundamental limits on quantum cloning from the no-signalling principle

description: The no-cloning theorem is a cornerstone of quantum cryptography. Here we generalize and rederive in a unified framework various upper bounds on the maximum achievable fidelity of probabilistic and deterministic cloning machines. Building on ideas by Gisin [Phys.~Lett.~A, 1998], our result starts from the fact that remote state preparation is possible and the no-signalling principle holds. We apply our general theorem to several subsets of states that are of interest in quantum cryptography.

description: We analysed the RXTE archival data of 1E 1048.1-5937 covering a time span of more than one year. The spin down rate of this source decreases by 30 percent during the observation. We could not resolve the X-ray flux variations because of contamination by Eta Carinae. We find that the level of pulse frequency fluctuations of 1E 1048.1-5937 is consistent with typical noise levels of accretion powered pulsars. Recent RXTE observations of 1E 2259+586 have shown a constant spin down with a very low upper limit on timing noise. We used the RXTE archival X-ray observations of 1E 2259+586 to show that the intrinsic X-ray luminosity times series is also stable, with an rms fractional variation of less than 15 percent. The source could have been in a quiet phase of accretion with a constant X-ray luminosity and spin down rate.

description: Cette thèse de maîtrise présente les résultats d’un travail de recherche réalisé lors de l’année universitaire 2018-2019 auprès d’étudiants internationaux provenant de République Populaire de Chine et inscrits dans des programmes en français de premier cycle à l’Université d’Ottawa. Elle porte sur leurs représentations sociales des langues et du bi-/plurilinguisme (Castellotti & Moore, 2002 ; Baker & Wright, 2017) et leurs expériences d’étudiants. Promouvoir le bilinguisme officiel et la francophonie locale, provinciale et nationale tout en renforçant ses politiques d’internationalisation du campus et du curriculum et assurer l’harmonie et l’équilibre entre ces deux engagements représentent l’un des objectifs principaux de cette institution, à tel point que cela avait été identifié comme l’un des quatre grands enjeux des plans d’action de l’université pour 2020 et 2030 (Université d’Ottawa, 2017b, 2017a, 2019). Dans ce contexte, de nombreuses questions se posent sur les politiques et la planification de l’université, mais également en ce qui concerne l’expérience des étudiants, en particulier pour les étudiants internationaux confrontés à des problèmes sociolinguistiques dans un contexte institutionnel où leur cas spécifique n’est pas forcément pris en compte, ou même bien connu. Cette dernière question est au cœur de cette étude de cas exploratoire, qualitative et interprétative, laquelle a pour objet d’ouvrir des pistes pour repenser la position et le rôle des étudiants étrangers dans un contexte universitaire bi-/plurilingue. Au moyen du protocole de trois entretiens individuels par temps forts (Seidman, 2013), cette recherche a permis de donner la parole à une population d’étudiants invisibilisée et de mettre en lumière les écarts entre les objectifs de l’université vis-à-vis de l’internationalisation et de la francophonie et la réalité d’étudiants plurilingues venus étudier en français, langue qui représente pour eux une de leurs langues secondes. Cette recherche met également en exergue le risque de biais conceptuel entre des conceptions canadiennes, voire occidentales, de l’identité liée à la langue et du bilinguisme, et la réalité de personnes issues d’autres contextes sociolinguistiques.

description: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of developmental brain disorders characterized by poor nonverbal communication skills, impaired behaviour and social interaction, and a limited diversity of social activities and interests. As the most common pervasive developmental disorder, it affects people of all economic backgrounds and races. Although the cause of ASD is still controversial, many studies indicated that genetic factors play an important role in the ASD pathology. It has been shown that there is a remarkable genetic heterogeneity among ASD cases and thousands of genes may be associated with this disorder. The human brain can be separated into different regions in terms of their functions, and these regions are composed of distinct cell types. It has been shown that ASD risk genes are differentially expressed across different brain regions and at different embryonic stages. Some studies also revealed that the mutation of ASD risk genes may affect specific cell types more strongly than others. However, the extent to which ASD risk genes can converge on distinct cell types during human brain development remains unclear. Recently developed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) dramatically advanced our knowledge of the cellular taxonomy of the brain and allowed us to map ASD risk genes or genomic loci onto specific brain cell types. In the present study, I aimed to uncover essential cell types underlying the development of ASD during human prefrontal cortex development by re-analysing a set of published scRNA-seq datasets. I mainly focused upon two sets of candidate ASD risk genes from the SFARI database, including 86 high confidence ASD risk genes (monogenic mutations in ASD) and 30 genes at the 16p11.2 locus (CNV in ASD). We found that distinct sets of ASD risk genes are enriched in neural progenitor cells, excitatory neurons, interneurons and glia cells. Such enrichments were due to cell subtypes within these major cell types having significant differences in ASD risk gene expression. Cell-type based gene network analysis further demonstrated that common signalling pathways and biological processes converged on cell types with enriched expression patterns of ASD risk genes. Through comparative analysis, I further identified conserved and distinct expression patterns of ASD risk genes between human and mouse during brain development. Taken together, this study provides important new insights into the cell typespecific molecular pathology of the ASD. The findings from this study also highlight the conserved and distinct functions of ASD risk genes implicated in the normal brain development between human and mouse.

description: Leadership is recognized to be an important concept that has gained particularly significant attention in the 20th century, during which were developed main leadership theories. By the end of the 1990s, there were developed and popularized six major schools of leadership theory, including: the trait school, the behavioral school, the contingency school, the charismatic/visionary school, the emotional intelligence school, and the competency school (Turner & Müller, 2005). Each school has developed a set of criteria, characteristics, competencies, etc. of different types of leadership, which are widely applied in managerial practice until today. These leadership theories are applicable to different organizational context and activities, including project management. Among a variety of existing leadership theories, many researchers suggest that transactional and transformational leadership styles related to the charismatic leadership school are the most commonly practiced and effective styles in project management. The research of this paper also indicates that the right balance of both task-oriented and people-oriented leadership approach is especially relevant to the project management environment, whereas team work is especially important to project success. However, the research also indicates that there is no universal leadership style, which could fit practically any project management context. Different approach of leadership act differently (either worse or better) on different types of change projects and at different life cycle stages of these projects. Therefore, project manager needs to be able to adopt appropriate leadership style in order to achieve positive results, high level of productivity and enhanced team performance. Moreover, in today’s diverse environments, project managers need to be able to adjust to various socio-cultural contexts and adopt appropriate communication style in order to succeed in project implementation.
Massive MIMO Channels Under the Joint Power Constraints

description: Massive MIMO has been recognized as a key technology for 5G systems due to its high spectral efficiency. The capacity and optimal signaling for a MIMO channel under the total power constraint (TPC) are well-known and can be obtained by the water-filling (WF) procedure. However, much less is known about optimal signaling under the per-antenna power constraint constraint (PAC) or under the joint power constraints (TPC+PAC). In this thesis, we consider a massive MIMO Gaussian channel under favorable propagation (FP) and obtain the optimal transmit covariance under the joint constraints. The effect of the joint constraints on the optimal power allocation (OPA) is shown. While it has some similarities to the standard WF, it also has number of notable differences. The numbers of active streams and active PACs are obtained, and a closed-form expression for the optimal dual variable is given. A capped water-filling interpretation of the OPA is given, which is similar to the standard WF, where a container has both floor and ceiling profiles. An iterative water-filling algorithm is proposed to find the OPA under the joint constraints, and its convergence to the OPA is proven. The robustness of optimal signaling under FP is demonstrated in which it becomes nearly optimal for a nearly favorable propagation channel. An upper bound of the sub-optimality gap is given which characterizes nearly (or eps)-favorable propagation. This upper bound quantifies how close the channel is to the FP. A bisection algorithm is developed to numerically compute the optimal dual variable. Newton-barrier and Monte-Carlo algorithms are developed to find the optimal signaling under the joint constraints for an arbitrary channel, not necessarily for a favorable propagation channel. When the diagonal entries of the channel Gram matrix are fixed, it is shown that a favorable propagation channel is not necessarily the best among all possible propagation scenarios capacity-wise. We further show that the main theorems in [1] on favorable propagation are not correct in general. To make their conclusions valid, some modifications as well as additional assumptions are needed, which are given here.
Conditions for extreme sensitivity of protein diffusion in membranes to cell environments

description: We study protein diffusion in multicomponent lipid membranes close to a rigid substrate separated by a layer of viscous fluid. The large-distance, long-time asymptotics for Brownian motion are calculated using a nonlinear stochastic Navier-Stokes equation including the effect of friction with the substrate. The advective nonlinearity, neglected in previous treatments, gives only a small correction to the renormalized viscosity and diffusion coefficient at room temperature. We find, however, that in realistic multicomponent lipid mixtures, close to a critical point for phase separation, protein diffusion acquires a strong power-law dependence on temperature and the distance to the substrate $H$, making it much more sensitive to cell environment, unlike the logarithmic dependence on $H$ and very small thermal correction away from the critical point.

description: While AI technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, the comprehension of machine learning (ML) among non-experts remains limited. Interactive machine learning (IML) has the potential to serve as a tool for end users, but many existing IML systems are designed for users with a certain level of expertise. Consequently, it remains unclear whether IML experiences can enhance the comprehension of ordinary users. In this study, we conducted a public event using an IML system to assess whether participants could gain technical comprehension through hands-on IML experiences. We implemented an interactive sound classification system featuring visualization of internal feature representation and invited visitors at a science museum to freely interact with it. By analyzing user behavior and questionnaire responses, we discuss the potential and limitations of IML systems as a tool for promoting technical comprehension among non-experts.

description: Observations of Sun-like stars over the last half-century have improved our understanding of how magnetic dynamos, like that responsible for the 11-year solar cycle, change with rotation, mass and age. Here we show for the first time how metallicity can affect a stellar dynamo. Using the most complete set of observations of a stellar cycle ever obtained for a Sun-like star, we show how the solar analog HD 173701 exhibits solar-like differential rotation and a 7.4-year activity cycle. While the duration of the cycle is comparable to that generated by the solar dynamo, the amplitude of the brightness variability is substantially stronger. The only significant difference between HD 173701 and the Sun is its metallicity, which is twice the solar value. Therefore, this provides a unique opportunity to study the effect of the higher metallicity on the dynamo acting in this star and to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the physical mechanisms responsible for the observed photometric variability. The observations can be explained by the higher metallicity of the star, which is predicted to foster a deeper outer convection zone and a higher facular contrast, resulting in stronger variability.

description: Using X-ray data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), we carried out pulse timing analysis of the transient X-ray pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545. An outburst was detected by All Sky Monitor (ASM) October 25 1999 and reached a peak X-ray brightness of 27 mCrab October 28. Between November 19 and December 27, the RXTE/PCA carried out pointed observations which provided us with pulse arrival times. These yield an eccentric orbit (e= 0.4 \pm 0.2) with an orbital period of 12.68 \pm 0.25 days and light travel time across the projected semimajor axis of 72 \pm 6 sec. The pulse period was measured to be 358.62171 \pm 0.00088 s and the spin-up rate (2.50 \pm 0.15) \times 10^{-13} Hz s^{-1}. The ASM data for the February to September 1997 outburst in which BeppoSAX discovered SAX J2103.5+4545 (Hulleman, in't Zand and Heise 1998) are modulated at time scales close to the orbital period. Folded light curves of the 1997 ASM data and the 1999 PCA data are similar and show that the intensity increases at periastron passages.

Preparing geophysical data and software for Exascale: A case study from the 2030 Geophysics Collections Project
Creators: name: Rees, Nigel

description: The 2030 Geophysics Collections Project, a collaboration between NCI, AuScope, ARDC and TERN, seeks to make accessible a selection of rawer, high-resolution versions of existing datasets and ensure they are suitable for programmatic access in next generation technologies and computational infrastructures, which we know will be at exascale and will require data to be fully compliant with the FAIR principles, self-describing and machine readable.

Terabytes of existing magnetotelluric (MT) and passive seismic time series data can now be accessed using the Gadi supercomputer at NCI. For MT, a dedicated effort went into building automations to convert existing MT instrument time series data into the new international MTH5/mt_metadata standard.

In parallel, a well managed and FAIR software environment was established at NCI that integrates a plethora of different complex and intricate open source codes and libraries in multiple programming languages. It includes geophysics and AI/ML software modules that consolidate Python, Julia and R environments together with thousands of pre-built libraries. The modules are community driven, regularly updated and ease the burden of researchers having to spend significant time on software engineering principles. These software environments coupled together with high-performant standardised geophysical data formats enable researchers to rapidly analyse very large volumes of data and see the quality of their algorithms or workflows within realistic time frames.

The emphasis with the NCI Geophysics Specialised Environment is on creating an ability for researchers to efficiently develop their own HPC multi-physics workflows tailored to their specific use-cases and thus enable greater research innovation.

description: The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a promising quantum algorithm for applications in chemistry within the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era. The ability for a quantum computer to simulate electronic structures with high accuracy would have a profound impact on material and biochemical science with potential applications e.g., to the development of new drugs. However, considering the variety of quantum hardware architectures, it is still uncertain which hardware concept is most suited to execute the VQE for e.g., the simulation of molecules. Aspects to consider here are the required connectivity of the quantum circuit used, the size and the depth and thus the susceptibility to noise effects. Besides theoretical considerations, empirical studies using available quantum hardware may help to clarify the question of which hardware technology might be better suited for a certain given application and algorithm. Going one step into this direction, within this work, we present results using the VQE for the simulation of the hydrogen molecule, comparing superconducting and ion trap quantum computers. The experiments are carried out with a standardized setup of ansatz and optimizer, selected to reduce the amount of iterations required. The findings are analyzed considering different quantum processor types, calibration data as well as the depth and gate counts of the circuits required for the different hardware concepts after transpilation.

description: The Sunda Banda Seascape (SBS) in Indonesia’s Coral Triangle is considered one of the top priority marine ecoregions for conservation by the Indonesian government. The region is divided into three subseascapes, which includes the Lesser Sunda Subseascape (LSS), the Southern-Eastern Sulawesi Subseascape (SESS), and the Inner Banda Arc Subseascape (IBAS). The SBS dashboard provides a science-based assessment of the status of 22 indicators grouped within five domains, which includes: (1) enabling conditions, (2) human well-being, (3) ecosystem health, (4) fish and fisheries, and (5) governance, across marine protected areas (MPAs) in the SBS region for 2017. Each indicator is evaluated at MPA level and then scored at the subseascape level using three categories: ‘above average/optimal’, ‘average/ acceptable’, and ‘below average/below optimal’.

description: It is widely accepted that nuclear Gamow-Teller transitions are quenched; shell-model calculations also showed a clear anticorrelation between the Gamow-Teller strength and the transition rate of the collective quadrupole excitation from the ground state. We discuss the physics beyond this observation. It is based on the existence of spin-orbit coupling that is responsible for the non-zero probabilities of Gamow-Teller transitions in self-conjugate nuclei (N = Z). The shell-model calculations in the f p-space demonstrate the effects of the gradual artificial removal of the spin-orbit coupling that influences Gamow-Teller and quadrupole modes in opposite way. The realistic spin-orbit splitting moves the cumulative Gamow-Teller strength up and leads to stronger fragmentation; both trends are discussed in terms of simple symmetry arguments. Along with this process, the Gamow-Teller operator excites, in addition to the main line of L = 0 states, states with L = 2 which should be added, with the interference terms, to account for the total strength.

description: Nonlocal gravity (NLG), a classical extension of Einstein's theory of gravitation, has been studied mainly in linearized form. In particular, nonlinearities have thus far prevented the treatment of cosmological models in NLG. In this essay, we discuss the local limit of NLG and apply this limit to the expanding homogenous and isotropic universe. The theory only allows spatially flat cosmological models; furthermore, de Sitter spacetime is forbidden. The components of the model will have different dynamics with respect to cosmic time as compared to the standard $Λ$CDM model; specifically, instead of the cosmological constant, the modified flat model of cosmology involves a dynamic dark energy component in order to account for the accelerated phase of the expansion of the universe.

description: Although continuum theories have been proven quite robust to describe confined fluid flow at molecular length scales, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal mechanistic insights into the interfacial dissipation processes. Most MD simulations of confined fluids have used setups in which the lateral box size is not much larger than the gap height, thus breaking thin-film assumptions usually employed in continuum simulations. Here, we explicitly probe the long wavelength hydrodynamic correlations in confined simple fluids with MD and compare to gap-averaged continuum theories as typically applied in e.g. lubrication. Relaxation times obtained from equilibrium fluctuations interpolate between the theoretical limits from bulk hydrodynamics and continuum formulations with increasing wavelength. We show how to exploit this characteristic transition to measure viscosity and slip length in confined systems simultaneously from equilibrium MD simulations. Moreover, the gap-averaged theory describes a geometry-induced dispersion relation that leads to overdamped sound relaxation at large wavelengths, which is confirmed by our MD simulations. Our results add to the understanding of transport processes under strong confinement and might be of technological relevance for the design of nanofluidic devices due to the recent progress in fabrication methods.

description: I processi di candidatura tanto del patrimonio materiale che immateriale costituiscono un’occasione preziosa di coinvolgimento delle comunità locali e di consolidamento dei valori chiave promossi dall’UNESCO, quali la pace, il dialogo interculturale e il rispetto fra i popoli. Il loro esito è però tutt’altro che scontato. Perché allora un Comune, un ente o una associazione dovrebbero lanciarsi in una impresa complessa e dall’esito incerto? Perché è l’occasione per la comunità di conoscere, riscoprire e rinnovare il senso di appartenenza ed identità culturale collettiva. Questo volume presenta una sintesi dei risultati di un lavoro di ricerca durato due anni, voluto dalla collettività riccionese, raccoltasi nell’Associazione per la candidatura UNESCO. Nell’ambito di tale percorso i ricercatori del CAST hanno accompagnato la comunità di Riccione nel processo di identificazione del proprio patrimonio intangibile, rendendo possibile il riconoscimento delle pratiche sociali e delle competenze artigiane che si erano progressivamente formate nel corso degli ultimi due secoli parallelamente all’antropizzazione della spiaggia. É stata così costruita una importante base documentaria che include un consistente archivio di storia orale nonché i filmati originali che consentono di identificare la sequenza delle lavorazioni attraverso le quali la spiaggia viene predisposta ad un uso turistico e poi riportata alla sua vita naturale alla fine della stagione. L’avvio di un percorso di educazione formale e informale e di partecipazione pubblica è poi stato un naturale proseguimento della fase di identificazione del patrimonio, che si è concretizzato anche attraverso con il coinvolgimento delle scuole locali di vario ordine e grado, dei residenti e degli stessi turisti. L’insieme di tali attività e altre ancora che andranno disegnate per gli anni futuri costituiscono l’insieme delle pratiche di salvaguardia per valorizzare e trasmettere il patrimonio immateriale legato agli usi sociali della spiaggia di Riccione.

description: Coherent ptychographic imaging experiments often discard over 99.9 % of the flux from a light source to define the coherence of an illumination. Even when coherent flux is sufficient, the stability required during an exposure is another important limiting factor. Partial coherence analysis can considerably reduce these limitations. A partially coherent illumination can often be written as the superposition of a single coherent illumination convolved with a separable translational kernel. In this paper we propose the Gradient Decomposition of the Probe (GDP), a model that exploits translational kernel separability, coupling the variances of the kernel with the transverse coherence. We describe an efficient first-order splitting algorithm GDP-ADMM to solve the proposed nonlinear optimization problem. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method with Gaussian and binary kernel functions in fly-scan measurements. Remarkably, GDP-ADMM produces satisfactory results even when the ratio between kernel width and beam size is more than one, or when the distance between successive acquisitions is twice as large as the beam width.

description: Surface enhanced Raman spectra of Phenylalanine (Phe) in Ag colloidal solution have been recorded for Phe solutions of different pH. Spectral line-shape analyses of the enhanced modes, at 1005, 1380 and 1582 cm-1, between pH 4.5 and 10.5, have been carried out. The variation of spectral line-width with pH reveals two possible mechanisms in solution: (i) the fluctuation of pH in microscopic volume in an overall uniform pH solution and/or (ii) the motional narrowing caused by the intermolecular ionic interaction. We suggest that different charge states of the reference molecule are responsible for the observed bond softening with decrease in pH. The observed Raman shift and the Raman activity of the vibrational modes with maximum enhancement have been explained by carrying out DFT calculations.

description: The renormalization group approach is studied for large $N$ models. The approach of Brézin and Zinn-Justin is explained and examined for matrix models. The validity of the approach is clarified by using the vector model as a similar and simpler example. An exact difference equation is obtained which relates free energies for neighboring values of $N$. The reparametrization freedom in field space provides infinitely many identities which reduce the infinite dimensional coupling constant space to that of finite dimensions. The effective beta functions give exact values for the fixed points and the susceptibility exponents. A detailed study of the effective renormalization group flow is presented for cases with up to two coupling constants. We draw the two-dimensional flow diagram.

description: Characterization of the first ever laboratory produced metallic hydrogen sample relies on measurements of optical spectra. Here we present first-principles calculations of the reflectivity of hydrogen between 400 and 600 GPa in the $\mathrm{I4_1/amd}$ crystal structure, the one predicted at these pressures, based on both time-dependent density functional and Eliashberg theories, thus, covering the optical properties from the infrared to the ultraviolet regimes. Our results show that atomic hydrogen displays an interband plasmon at around 6 eV that abruptly suppresses the reflectivity, while the large superconducting gap energy yields a sharp decrease of the reflectivity in the infrared region approximately at 120 meV. The experimentally estimated electronic scattering rates in the 0.7-3 eV range are in agreement with our theoretical estimations, which show that the huge electron-phonon interaction of the system dominates the electronic scattering in this energy range. The remarkable features in the optical spectra predicted here encourage to extend the existing optical measurements to the infrared and ultraviolet regions.

description: The Sunda Banda Seascape (SBS) in Indonesia’s Coral Triangle is considered one of the top priority marine ecoregions for conservation by the Indonesian government. The region is divided into three subseascapes, which includes the Lesser Sunda Subseascape (LSS), the Southern-Eastern Sulawesi Subseascape (SESS), and the Inner Banda Arc Subseascape (IBAS). The SBS dashboard provides a science-based assessment of the status of 22 indicators grouped within five domains, which includes: (1) enabling conditions, (2) human well-being, (3) ecosystem health, (4) fish and fisheries, and (5) governance, across marine protected areas (MPAs) in the SBS region for 2017. Each indicator is evaluated at MPA level and then scored at the subseascape level using three categories: ‘above average/optimal’, ‘average/ acceptable’, and ‘below average/below optimal’.

description: Combustion vehicle emissions contribute to poor air quality and release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and vehicle pollution has been associated with numerous adverse health effects. Roadways with extensive waiting and/or passenger drop off, such as schools and hospital drop-off zones, can result in high incidence and density of idling vehicles. This can produce micro-climates of increased vehicle pollution. Thus, the detection of idling vehicles can be helpful in monitoring and responding to unnecessary idling and be integrated into real-time or off-line systems to address the resulting pollution. In this paper we present a real-time, dynamic vehicle idling detection algorithm. The proposed idle detection algorithm and notification rely on an algorithm to detect these idling vehicles. The proposed method relies on a multi-sensor, audio-visual, machine-learning workflow to detect idling vehicles visually under three conditions: moving, static with the engine on, and static with the engine off. The visual vehicle motion detector is built in the first stage, and then a contrastive-learning-based latent space is trained for classifying static vehicle engine sound. We test our system in real-time at a hospital drop-off point in Salt Lake City. This in-situ dataset was collected and annotated, and it includes vehicles of varying models and types. The experiments show that the method can detect engine switching on or off instantly and achieves 71.02 average precision (AP) for idle detections and 91.06 for engine off detections.
