description: This article gives an overview of the constitution, physical conditions and observables of dust in the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. We first review the macroscopic, spatial distribution of dust in these objects, and its consequence on our ability to study grain physics. We also discuss the possibility to use dust tracers as diagnostic tools. We then survey our current understanding of the microscopic, intrinsic properties of dust in different environments, derived from different observables: emission, extinction, polarization, depletions, over the whole electromagnetic spectrum. Finally, we summarize the clues of grain evolution, evidenced either on local scales or over cosmic time. We put in perspective the different evolution scenarios. We attempt a comprehensive presentation of the main observational constraints, analysis methods and modelling frameworks of the distinct processes. We do not cover the dust properties of the Milky Way and distant galaxies, nor circumstellar or active galactic nucleus torus dust.

Future Prospects On Railway Freight Transportation : A Particular View Of The Weight Issue On Intermodal Trains

description: The present work analyses the issue of the deadweight in intermodal trains and states that this

weight is excessive for the current and future intermodal transportation. In this way, the

common intermodal units are considered light elements that would be more efficiently

transported in lighter railway wagons. An analysis of the actual railway and intermodal market

with important statistics’ inputs and trend forecasts is provided in order to demonstrate this

affirmation.

The work also addresses the issue of the length of the intermodal wagons and how this has an

influence on their loading properties (loading schemes). It concludes that longer surfaces

without interruptions lead to better loading arrangements that cover a broader spectrum of

loading cases.

The combination of these two concepts, longer and lighter wagons, crystalize in the form of VELWagon,

which is an EU project that has been deeply analysed in this thesis. The VEL‐Wagon

concept strives for longer loading surfaces with same or fewer wheels than regular wagons,

resulting in lighter wagons for the intermodal transport. A non‐articulated 80 ft container wagon

is analysed.

Because of having fewer wheels per loading meter there is an increasing axle load that may have

an influence on the infrastructure. Therefore an axle load extension would be interesting for

light goods because it would permit to use more efficient wagons like VEL‐Wagon.

Another important point analysed in this thesis is the loading gauge. The long wagons, with long

distance between pivots, have an unfavourable condition when running the sharp curves by

which the centre of the wagon is “overthrown” towards the curve centre, implying a loss of

gauge. This could create some problems on small gauges, say G1 and GA but could be solved for

GB and it will be no problem for GC.

Finally several business case are presented and discussed, being the most remarkable a 5‐timeweek

shuttle train that could save up to 500.000 € a year if using the VEL‐Wagon instead of

regular intermodal wagons.

The thesis leads to the confirmation of the working hypothesis, which states that:

To achieve a better utilization of the track capacity, the trains and the wagons the loading

length of these must be longer and at the same time with less or same number of axles.

Paving the way for enunciating the challenge:

The extension of the maximum axle load in European tracks, from 22,5 to 25 t and beyond, is

a desired action that will benefit the light rail transports and will help to increase the

competitiveness of freight railways against the road, leading to a more sustainable

transport system.

description: This paper concerns an analytic and numerical analysis of a class of weighted singular Cauchy integrals with exponential weights $w:=\exp(-Q)$ with finite moments and with smooth external fields $Q:\mathbb R\to [0,\infty)$, with varying smooth convex rate of increase for large argument. Our analysis relies in part on weighted polynomial interpolation at the zeros of orthonormal polynomials with respect to $w^2$. We also study bounds for the first derivatives of a class of functions of the second kind for $w^2$.

description: Metasurfaces are optically thin metamaterials that promise complete control of the wavefront of light but are primarily used to control only the phase of light. Here, we present an approach, simple in concept and in practice, that uses meta-atoms with a varying degree of form birefringence and rotation angles to create high-efficiency dielectric metasurfaces that control both the optical amplitude and phase at one or two frequencies. This opens up applications in computer-generated holography, allowing faithful reproduction of both the phase and amplitude of a target holographic scene without the iterative algorithms required in phase-only holography. We demonstrate all-dielectric metasurface holograms with independent and complete control of the amplitude and phase at up to two optical frequencies simultaneously to generate two- and three-dimensional holographic objects. We show that phase-amplitude metasurfaces enable a few features not attainable in phase-only holography; these include creating artifact-free two-dimensional holographic images, encoding phase and amplitude profiles separately at the object plane, encoding intensity profiles at the metasurface and object planes separately, and controlling the surface textures of three-dimensional holographic objects.

description: We construct an infinite family of topologically slice knots that are not smoothly concordant to their reverses. More precisely, if T denotes the concordance group of topologically slice knots and R is the involution of T induced by string reversal, then T/Fix(R) contains an infinitely generated free subgroup. The result remains true modulo the subgroup of T generated by knots with trivial Alexander polynomial.

description: The task of a personalization system is to recommend items or a set of items according to the users' taste, and thus predicting their future needs. In this paper, we address such personalized recommendation problems for which one-bit comparison data of user preferences for different items as well as the different user inclinations toward an item are available. We devise a comprehensive personalized ranking (CPR) system by employing a Bayesian treatment. We also provide a connection to the learning method with respect to the CPR optimization criterion to learn the underlying low-rank structure of the rating matrix based on the well-established matrix factorization method. Numerical results are provided to verify the performance of our algorithm.

description: To date, magnetic proximity effect (MPE) has only been conclusively observed in ferromagnet (FM) based systems. We report the observation of anomalous Hall effect and anisotropic magnetoresistance in angular dependent magnetoresistance (ADMR) measurements in Pt on antiferromagnetic (AF) $α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$(0001) epitaxial films at 10 K, which provide evidence for the MPE. The Néel order of $α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ and the induced magnetization in Pt show a unique ADMR compared with all other FM and AF systems. A macrospin response model is established and can explain the AF spin configuration and all main ADMR features in the Pt/$α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ bilayers.

description: The ability to manipulate antiferromagnetic (AF) moments is a key requirement for the emerging field of antiferromagnetic spintronics. Electrical switching of bi-state AF moments has been demonstrated in metallic AFs, CuMnAs and Mn$_2$Au. Recently, current-induced "saw-tooth" shaped Hall resistance was reported in Pt/NiO bilayers, while its mechanism is under debate. Here, we report the first demonstration of convincing, non-decaying, step-like electrical switching of tri-state Néel order in Pt/$α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ bilayers. Our experimental data, together with Monte-Carlo simulations, reveal the clear mechanism of the switching behavior of $α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ Néel order among three stable states. We also show that the observed "saw-tooth" Hall resistance is due to an artifact of Pt, not AF switching, while the signature of AF switching is step-like Hall signals. This demonstration of electrical control of magnetic moments in AF insulator (AFI) films will greatly expand the scope of AF spintronics by leveraging the large family of AFIs.

description: Unsupervised pre-training of large neural models has recently revolutionized Natural Language Processing. By warm-starting from the publicly released checkpoints, NLP practitioners have pushed the state-of-the-art on multiple benchmarks while saving significant amounts of compute time. So far the focus has been mainly on the Natural Language Understanding tasks. In this paper, we demonstrate the efficacy of pre-trained checkpoints for Sequence Generation. We developed a Transformer-based sequence-to-sequence model that is compatible with publicly available pre-trained BERT, GPT-2 and RoBERTa checkpoints and conducted an extensive empirical study on the utility of initializing our model, both encoder and decoder, with these checkpoints. Our models result in new state-of-the-art results on Machine Translation, Text Summarization, Sentence Splitting, and Sentence Fusion.

description: The deliverable describes the methodology of the Ecodesign process with a focus on environmental-, criticality- and circularity considerations concerning the integrated motor drive (IMD). A Life cycle assessment (LCA) screening according to the ISO 14040/44 standard is performed for the environmental consideration. Within the project 30 % of the total IMD's Global Warming Potential (GWP) should be reduced. The methodology for circularity and criticality is roughly presented and still under development. Reference products and intended improved solutions, needed for later assessments, are described as far as possible. Furthermore, conceptual material/product selection matrixes, as part of the Ecodesign Guideline are presented.

description: Target parameter estimation in active sensing, and particularly radar signal processing, is a long-standing problem that has been studied extensively. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for target parameter estimation in cases where one-bit analog-to-digital-converters (ADCs), also known as signal comparators with time-varying thresholds, are employed to sample the received radar signal instead of high-resolution ADCs. The considered problem has potential applications in the design of inexpensive radar and sensing devices in civilian applications, and can likely pave the way for future radar systems employing low-resolution ADCs for faster sampling and high-resolution target determination. We formulate the target estimation as a multivariate weighted-least-squares optimization problem that can be solved in a cyclic manner. Numerical results are provided to exhibit the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

description: An important problem in cognitive radar is to enhance the estimation performance of the system by a joint design of its probing signal and receive filter using the a priori information on interference. In such cases, the knowledge of interference statistics (particularly the covariance) plays a vital role in an effective design of the radar waveforms. In most practical scenarios, however, the received signal and interference statistics are available subject to some uncertainty. An extreme manifestation of this practical observation occurs for radars employing one-bit receivers, where only a normalized version of interference covariance matrix can be obtained. In this paper, we formulate a waveform optimization problem and devise an algorithm to design the transmit waveform and the receive filter of one-bit radars given such uncertainties in acquired interference statistics. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is corroborated through numerical analysis.

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: In this paper, we propose in our novel generative framework the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to generate features that provide robustness for object detection on reduced quality images. The proposed GAN-based Detection of Objects (GAN-DO) framework is not restricted to any particular architecture and can be generalized to several deep neural network (DNN) based architectures. The resulting deep neural network maintains the exact architecture as the selected baseline model without adding to the model parameter complexity or inference speed. We first evaluate the effect of image quality not only on the object classification but also on the object bounding box regression. We then test the models resulting from our proposed GAN-DO framework, using two state-of-the-art object detection architectures as the baseline models. We also evaluate the effect of the number of re-trained parameters in the generator of GAN-DO on the accuracy of the final trained model. Performance results provided using GAN-DO on object detection datasets establish an improved robustness to varying image quality and a higher mAP compared to the existing approaches.

description: In radar systems, unimodular (or constant-modulus) waveform design plays an important role in achieving better clutter/interference rejection, as well as a more accurate estimation of the target parameters. The design of such sequences has been studied widely in the last few decades, with most design algorithms requiring sophisticated a priori knowledge of environmental parameters which may be difficult to obtain in real-time scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid model-driven and data-driven architecture that adapts to the ever changing environment and allows for adaptive unimodular waveform design. In particular, the approach lays the groundwork for developing extremely low-cost waveform design and processing frameworks for radar systems deployed in autonomous vehicles. The proposed model-based deep architecture imitates a well-known unimodular signal design algorithm in its structure, and can quickly infer statistical information from the environment using the observed data. Our numerical experiments portray the advantages of using the proposed method for efficient radar waveform design in time-varying environments.

description: Graph link prediction is an important task in cyber-security: relationships between entities within a computer network, such as users interacting with computers, or system libraries and the corresponding processes that use them, can provide key insights into adversary behaviour. Poisson matrix factorisation (PMF) is a popular model for link prediction in large networks, particularly useful for its scalability. In this article, PMF is extended to include scenarios that are commonly encountered in cyber-security applications. Specifically, an extension is proposed to explicitly handle binary adjacency matrices and include known categorical covariates associated with the graph nodes. A seasonal PMF model is also presented to handle seasonal networks. To allow the methods to scale to large graphs, variational methods are discussed for performing fast inference. The results show an improved performance over the standard PMF model and other statistical network models.

description: The lack of interpretability in current deep learning models causes serious concerns as they are extensively used for various life-critical applications. Hence, it is of paramount importance to develop interpretable deep learning models. In this paper, we consider the problem of blind deconvolution and propose a novel model-aware deep architecture that allows for the recovery of both the blur kernel and the sharp image from the blurred image. In particular, we propose the Deep Unfolded Richardson-Lucy (Deep-URL) framework -- an interpretable deep-learning architecture that can be seen as an amalgamation of classical estimation technique and deep neural network, and consequently leads to improved performance. Our numerical investigations demonstrate significant improvement compared to state-of-the-art algorithms.

description: Controlling the radar beam-pattern by optimizing the transmit covariance matrix is a well-established approach for performance enhancement in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radars. In this paper, we investigate the joint optimization of the waveform covariance matrix and the antenna position vector for a MIMO radar system to approximate a given transmit beam-pattern, as well as to minimize the cross-correlation between the probing signals at a number of given target locations. We formulate this design task as a non-convex optimization problem and then propose a cyclic optimization approach to efficiently approximate its solution. We further propose a local binary search algorithm in order to efficiently design the corresponding antenna positions. We show that the proposed method can be extended to the more general case of approximating the given beam-pattern using a minimal number of antennas as well as optimizing their positions. Our numerical investigations demonstrate a great performance both in terms of accuracy and computational complexity, making the proposed framework a good candidate for usage in real-time radar waveform processing applications such as MIMO radar transmit beamforming for aerial drones that are in motion.

description: Visual attention has proven to be effective in improving the performance of person re-identification. Most existing methods apply visual attention heuristically by learning an additional attention map to re-weight the feature maps for person re-identification. However, this kind of methods inevitably increase the model complexity and inference time. In this paper, we propose to incorporate the attention learning as additional objectives in a person ReID network without changing the original structure, thus maintain the same inference time and model size. Two kinds of attentions have been considered to make the learned feature maps being aware of the person and related body parts respectively. Globally, a holistic attention branch (HAB) makes the feature maps obtained by backbone focus on persons so as to alleviate the influence of background. Locally, a partial attention branch (PAB) makes the extracted features be decoupled into several groups and be separately responsible for different body parts (i.e., keypoints), thus increasing the robustness to pose variation and partial occlusion. These two kinds of attentions are universal and can be incorporated into existing ReID networks. We have tested its performance on two typical networks (TriNet and Bag of Tricks) and observed significant performance improvement on five widely used datasets.

description: This report forms the second stage in a four-stage research programme investigating the role of iwi management plans in natural hazard management. Iwi management plans (IMPs) provide a valuable strategic tool for natural hazard management, however their potential influence and role is uncertain. To assist in the evaluation of IMPs as a tool for natural hazard management, a case study was undertaken of IMPs in the Bay of Plenty Region. Of the 29 IMPs lodged with the Bay of Plenty Regional Council, 21 plans were analysed for their natural hazard provisions, linkages to other plans and policies, and consultation process. Of these 21 IMPs, only six included reference to natural hazards, to different degrees; some had specific and explicit information on natural hazard risks and climate change; others were more general. Based on the content of these six plans, four were analysed in more detail to ascertain to what degree natural hazards were included. The findings of this research can be summarised into three key issues: the variable inclusion of natural hazards in IMPs; calls for action in IMPs; and the variability and lack of acknowledgement of IMPs in other plans.

description: This article presents a new approach of semigroup analysis and pseudo-differential calculus for deriving the regularizing estimate on non-cutoff linearized Boltzmann equation. We are able to obtain regularizing estimate of semigroup $e^{tB}$ that is continuous from weighted Sobolev space $H(a^{-1/2})H^m_x$ to $H(a^{1/2})H^m_x$ with a sharp large time decay. With these properties, we prove the existence of global-in-time unique solution to the non-cutoff Boltzmann equation for hard potential on the whole space with weak regularity assumption on initial data. We consider the hard potential case since $H(a^{1/2})$ can be embedded in $L^2$. This work develops the application of pseudo-differential calculus, spectrum analysis and semigroup theory to non-cutoff Boltzmann equation.

description: Automatic fall detection is a vital technology for ensuring the health and safety of people. Home-based camera systems for fall detection often put people's privacy at risk. Thermal cameras can partially or fully obfuscate facial features, thus preserving the privacy of a person. Another challenge is the less occurrence of falls in comparison to the normal activities of daily living. As fall occurs rarely, it is non-trivial to learn algorithms due to class imbalance. To handle these problems, we formulate fall detection as an anomaly detection within an adversarial framework using thermal imaging. We present a novel adversarial network that comprises of two-channel 3D convolutional autoencoders which reconstructs the thermal data and the optical flow input sequences respectively. We introduce a technique to track the region of interest, a region-based difference constraint, and a joint discriminator to compute the reconstruction error. A larger reconstruction error indicates the occurrence of a fall. The experiments on a publicly available thermal fall dataset show the superior results obtained compared to the standard baseline.

description: Supernova (SN) feedback plays a vital role in the evolution of galaxies. While modern cosmological simulations capture the leading structures within galaxies, they struggle to provide sufficient resolution to study small-scale stellar feedback, such as the detailed evolution of SN remnants. It is thus common practice to assume subgrid models that are rarely extended to low metallicities, and which routinely use the standard solar abundance pattern. With the aid of 1-d hydrodynamical simulations, we extend these models to consider low metallicities and non-solar abundance patterns as derived from spectra of Milky Way stars. For that purpose, a simple, yet effective framework has been developed to generate non-solar abundance pattern cooling functions. We find that previous treatments markedly over-predict SN feedback at low metallicities and show that non-negligible changes in the evolution of SN remnants of up to $\approx 50\%$ in $cooling\; mass$ and $\approx 27\%$ in $momentum\; injection\; from\; SN\; remnants$ arise from non-solar abundance patterns. We use our simulations to quantify these results as a function of metallicity and abundance pattern variations and present analytic formulae to accurately describe the trends. These formulae have been designed to serve as subgrid models for SN feedback in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations.
