description: Vegetation indices allow to efficiently monitor vegetation growth and agricultural activities. Previous generations of satellites were capturing a limited number of spectral bands, and a few expert-designed vegetation indices were sufficient to harness their potential. New generations of multi- and hyperspectral satellites can however capture additional bands, but are not yet efficiently exploited. In this work, we propose an explainable-AI-based method to select and design suitable vegetation indices. We first train a deep neural network using multispectral satellite data, then extract feature importance to identify the most influential bands. We subsequently select suitable existing vegetation indices or modify them to incorporate the identified bands and retrain our model. We validate our approach on a crop classification task. Our results indicate that models trained on individual indices achieve comparable results to the baseline model trained on all bands, while the combination of two indices surpasses the baseline in certain cases.

Flexural behavior of simply supported concrete beams prestressed with steel and FRP tendons
Creators: name: El-Khouri, John
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Unbonded tendons are being applied more often in the strengthening and rehabilitation of current deteriorated concrete structures. The use of unbonded steel tendons without any protective material presents a higher risk for corrosion. Therefore, unbonded CFRP tendons can be applied in lieu of or in combination with steel tendons due to its high strength and corrosion resistance. This research involves the testing of seven High Performance Concrete (HPC) beams with bonded and unbonded (hybrid) tendons using a combination of steel and CFRP tendons. Several parameters include the area of the unbonded tendons, unbonded tendons material (CFRP or Steel), and depth of unbonded tendons. The experimental testing results in this study includes deflection at mid-span, ultimate load capacity, stress and strain in steel reinforcement, tendons, and concrete, number of cracks, and crack width and spacing for all beams. Finite element analysis for all hybrid beam ultimate strength and deflections are presented and compared to the experimental results. Comparisons of the ultimate stress (fps) in the tendons between the experimental results with three code equations are presented. Test results show that the use of CFRP as an unbonded tendon in hybrid girders can maintain the same ductility level steel tendon can achieve. Additionally, the finite element analysis predicted a similar behavior of concrete beams prestressed with hybrid tendons.
Flexural behavior of continuous concrete beams prestressed with bonded and unbonded tendons

description: The use of unbonded tendons in prestressed beams is becoming an increasing popular option for the repair and strengthening of bridges, high-rise buildings, and foundation systems. However, there has been an increase in load demands on these structures as well as the need for repair to damaged sections throughout the lifespan of the structure. Thus, the need for a new, more effective way to design these prestressed members to meet ever growing demand of these structures is evident. The main objective of this study is to investigate the performance of continuous beams prestressed with both bonded and unbonded tendons, known as hybrid beams. This investigation included the casting and testing of three continuous high strength concrete (HSC) beams prestressed with hybrid tendons. The results of this study include number of cracks, load-deflection behavior and load-strain behavior as well as an analysis of available hybrid code equations in their ability to predict the behavior of such hybrid beams. Based on the analysis of the experimental results, it is shown that the current code equations do not accurately predict the stress at ultimate and there is a need to provide more simplified and accurate equations.

description: Filaments connected to galaxy clusters are crucial environments to study the building up of cosmic structures as they funnel matter towards the clusters' deep gravitational potentials. Identifying gas in filaments is a challenge, due to their lower density contrast which produces faint signals. The best chance to detect these signals is therefore in the outskirts of galaxy clusters. We revisit the X-ray observation of the cluster Abell 2744 using statistical estimators of anisotropic matter distribution to identify filamentary patterns around it. We report for the first time the blind detection of filaments connected to a galaxy cluster from X-ray emission using a filament-finder technique and a multipole decomposition technique. We compare this result with filaments extracted from the distribution of spectroscopic galaxies, through which we demonstrate the robustness and reliability of our techniques in tracing a filamentary structure of 3 to 5 filaments connected to Abell 2744.

description: Deconvolving ("unfolding'') detector distortions is a critical step in the comparison of cross section measurements with theoretical predictions in particle and nuclear physics. However, most existing approaches require histogram binning while many theoretical predictions are at the level of statistical moments. We develop a new approach to directly unfold distribution moments as a function of another observable without having to first discretize the data. Our Moment Unfolding technique uses machine learning and is inspired by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). We demonstrate the performance of this approach using jet substructure measurements in collider physics. With this illustrative example, we find that our Moment Unfolding protocol is more precise than bin-based approaches and is as or more precise than completely unbinned methods.

description: ASTERINIDAE Gray 1840
The Asterinidae is among the most diverse groups within the Valvatacea, containing over 150 species within 25 genera with species present in nearly every marine setting, except the Arctic. Asterinids have undergone extensive revisions based on molecular phylogenetic analysis (O’Loughlin & Waters 2004; Waters et al. 2006). Further understanding of diversity and recognition of subgroupings within the Asterinidae, such as that of the Ganeriinae, which was previously a separate family, has continued based on further phylogenetic sampling (Mah & Foltz 2011; Mah & Fujita 2020). In addition to taxa supported by molecular phylogenetic evidence, newly discovered endoskeletal characters have provided further diagnostic features for multiple taxa within the Asterinidae (O’Loughlin & Waters 2004).
Liao & Clark (1995) note seven species of asterinids from southern China, with only two species previously recorded from Hong Kong, Indianastra sarasini (deLoriol 1897) (as Asterina orthodon) and Aquilonastra imbookengi (Smith 1927). Two further species, Anseropoda rosacea and Aquilonastra cepheus have been added to the asterinids known to occur in Hong Kong.
A survey of asterinid images (n=20) from iNaturalist (2024b) from Hong Kong suggests a diversity of species which unfortunately require specimen dissection for definitive taxon identification. It is plausible that further taxa, especially species based on the diverse body shapes observed, remain to be found in Hong Kong.

Corrosion protection and composite repair of steel components and fatigue life prediction of pipeline
Creators: name: Salemi, Milad
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Pipeline is one of most important transportation infrastructures in the U.S. Many of pipe structures are old and have been in service in for decades. Effective maintenance is needed to keep pipeline infrastructure in serviceable condition and prevent catastrophic failure against corrosion and fatigue. This research investigates application of inorganic coating for corrosion protection and composite repair of steel pipeline. First, a customized accelerated corrosion procedure was developed to induce rapid degradation in coated steel specimens with organic and inorganic coatings. Bonding strengths of the coatings with steel substrate were examined using the modified lap shear test. Inorganic coating matrix was fabricated with various nano-materials to investigate the effectiveness of nano-modification. Furthermore, Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates were tested on coated and uncoated steel specimens to evaluate their repair capabilities. Laboratory test results from shear and tension coupons were then used as baseline inputs for finite element modeling (FEM) of pipeline structure. The FE models were used to calculate stress intensity factor (SIF) of pipeline with crack defects and composite repair. Finally, the fatigue life of pipeline was calculated using a backward-forward Bayesian inference methodology based on the observed crack growth measurements and cycle data that predicts the probability density of failure after initially estimating the equivalent initial flaw size (EIFS). The study results show that composite repair with inorganic coating can be an effective method for steel pipeline repair and service life extension.

The ways communication ease knowledge sharing: an examination of three organizations with knowledge intensive services
Creators: name: Kristensen, Teis Stig Moeller
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Over the decades, practitioners and researchers alike have increasingly focused on how organization members can effectively share knowledge in an effort to create and maintain knowledge-intensive services. The growing interest in knowledge sharing is due in part to the increased digitalization and specialization of work practices. For example, the advance of computer-aided design, 3D printing, programming languages, financial regulation, and algorithmic stock trading places an increasing requirement on organization members to keep up with changes in their environment. Rapid technological and regulatory changes drastically impact and change how knowledge-intensive services must be approached. Organization members are unable to independently develop the expertise needed to create, maintain, and deliver complex services on their own. Knowledge sharing allows organization members to rely on others to provide services. Effective knowledge sharing increases organizational member’s performance, and in turn benefits organizations. However, organization members are faced with challenges that hinder knowledge sharing. Organization members become experts by repeatedly engaging in their area of expertise. Repeated engagement in an area limits the ability to generate expertise in other areas. The way organization members approach problems, the solutions they see, and the way they communicate is impacted and grounded by their repeated engagement. Organization members with different expertise have unique vocabulary, interpretations, and work practices. This dissertation examines how awareness of differences and the development of common ground between organization members can ease knowledge sharing. In doing so it is tested whether awareness of difference is sufficient for knowledge sharing compared to the existence of common ground between organization members. A mixed methods approach, blending social network analysis with observations and interviews, is used to answer the primary research question and hypotheses. Observations, interviews, and social network data is used to map the communicative relationships between organization members and identify the statistical likelihood of their co-occurrence in three organizations. The observations and interviews are analyzed using a grounded theory approach and content analysis, while the social network survey data is analyzed using descriptive statistics, quadratic assignment procedures, and exponential random graph modeling. In aggregate, this dissertation examines the type of communication and relational mechanisms that ease knowledge sharing between organization members.

description: Current radio interferometers output multi-petabyte-scale volumes of data per year making the storage, transfer, and processing of this data a sizeable challenge. This challenge is expected to grow with the next-generation telescopes such as the Square Kilometre Array. Lossy compression of interferometric data post-correlation can abate this challenge. However, since high-redshift 21-cm studies impose strict precision requirements, the impact of such lossy data compression on the 21-cm signal power spectrum statistic should be understood. We apply Dysco visibility compression, a technique to normalize and quantize specifically designed for radio interferometric data. We establish the level of the compression noise in the power spectrum in comparison to the thermal noise as well as its coherency behavior. Finally, for optimal compression results, we compare the compression noise obtained from different compression settings to a nominal 21-cm signal power. From a single night of observation, we find that the noise introduced due to the compression is more than five orders of magnitude lower than the thermal noise level in the power spectrum. The noise does not affect calibration. The compression noise shows no correlation with the sky signal and has no measurable coherent component. The level of compression error in the power spectrum ultimately depends on the compression settings. Dysco visibility compression is found to be of insignificant concern for 21-cm power spectrum studies. Hence, data volumes can be safely reduced by factors of $\sim 4$ and with insignificant bias to the final power spectrum. Data from SKA-low will likely be compressible by the same factor as LOFAR, owing to the similarities of the two instruments. The same technique can be used to compress data from other telescopes, but a small adjustment of the compression parameters might be required.

description: We investigate the conversion of kinetic mixing dark photon dark matter into gravitational waves within the magnetic field of the Sun. Our study reveals that the WKB approximation is invalid in this scenario. We derive an analytic solution for the conversion probability with unitary evolution feature. This solution aligns in form with previous studies on photon-gravitational wave conversion. Interestingly, it is applicable in situations where the WKB approximation fails. We extend the unitary evolution solution to other conversion processes, such as axion-photon and dark photon-photon conversions. When the WKB approximation conditions are met, this solution reduces to the WKB result. We compute the characteristic strain of gravitational waves resulting from dark photon conversion in the solar magnetic field, spanning frequencies from $10^{-5}$ Hz to $10^6$ Hz. Our findings indicate that the characteristic strain derived from the unitary evolution solution differs significantly from that of the WKB solution. The resulting strain signal is far below the sensitivity of current gravitational wave interferometers. Nevertheless, we have proposed an exotic gravitational wave source, which could be useful in non-minimal dark sector models.

Comments
Images of this species corresponded with descriptions outlined by Liao & Clark (1995) including the more stellate body shape and the central red spot as presented in O’Loughlin & Rowe (2006). Spination on the examined specimens, identified as A. cepheus, showed more blunt actinal spines and translucent abactinal spinelets in contrast to A. limboonkengi as shown in O’Loughlin & Rowe (2006). The stellate body shape, i.e. the narrower arms differentiates this species from Indianastra sarasini (with synonym Asterina orthodon Fisher 1922). Spination of the species figured herein was in accord with A. cepheus and colors of the specimens imaged were more consistent with those figured by O’Loughlin & Rowe (2006), as opposed to Aquilonastra limboonkengi which as per Liao & Clark (1995) has more solid brown coloration. O’Loughlin & Rowe (2006) however cautioned that color in this species varied greatly and could be uniform.

description: Context. Most stars form in clusters or associations but only a small number of these groups are expected to remain bound for longer than a few Myr. Once star formation has ended and the molecular gas around young stellar objects has been expelled via feedback processes, most initially bound young clusters lose the majority of their binding mass and begin to disperse into the Galactic field. Aims. This process can be investigated by analysing the structure and kinematic trends in nearby young clusters, particularly expansion, the tell-tale sign that a cluster is no longer gravitationally bound but is dispersing into the field. Methods. We combine Gaia DR3 5-parameter astrometry with calibrated radial velocities for members of the nearby young cluster Lambda Ori (Collinder 69). Results. We characterise the plane-of-sky substructure of the cluster using the Q-parameter and Angular Dispersion parameter. We find evidence that the cluster contains significant substructure, but that this is preferentially located away from the central cluster core, which is smooth and likely remains bound. We find strong evidence for expansion in Lambda Ori in the plane-of-sky using a number of metrics, but also that the trends are asymmetric at the 5$σ$ significance level. with the maximum rate of expansion being directed nearly parallel to the Galactic plane. We then invert the maximum rate of expansion of $0.144^{+0.003}_{-0.003} kms^{-1}pc^{-1}$ to give an expansion timescale of $6.944^{+0.148}_{-0.142} Myr$, which is slightly larger than typical literature age estimates for the cluster. We also find asymmetry in the velocity dispersion, potential signatures of cluster rotation, and calculate kinematic ages for individual cluster members by tracing their motion back in time to their closest approach to the cluster center.

description: This study investigates city dynamics employing a nonextensive diffusion equation suited for addressing diffusion within a fractal medium, where the nonadditive parameter, $q$, plays a relevant role. The findings demonstrate the efficacy of this approach in determining the relation between the fractal dimension of the city, the allometric exponent and $q$, and elucidating the stationary phase of urban evolution. The dynamic methodology facilitates the correlation of the fractal dimension with both the entropic index and the urban scaling exponent identified in data analyses. The results reveal that the scaling behaviour observed in cities aligns with the fractal dimension measured through independent methods. Moreover, the interpretation of these findings underscores the intimate connection between the fractal dimension and social interactions within the urban context. This research contributes to a deeper comprehension of the intricate interplay between human behaviour, urban dynamics, and the underlying fractal nature of cities.
