I would like to announce the release of ONIX, an open-source depletion code that can be coupled with OpenMC and which has been fully validated.
I started developing ONIX about three years ago with the help of two colleagues, Moritz Kütt and Alexander Glaser. Being a big fan of OpenMC and working on reactors’ fissile material production, I needed a tool to model isotopic evolution in reactors. The development of ONIX became my PhD thesis and we wanted to make sure it would be available to everyone so we decided to make the code open-source.
What can ONIX do?
ONIX can be used in two modes: Standalone and coupled with OpenMC. The standalone mode can simulate the irradiation of material to a neutron flux. The coupled mode allows for full reactor physics simulation (neutron transport + depletion). At the end of a simulation, the output directory contains the evolution of multiple parameters against burnup and days such as k-inf, isotopic densities, power, flux, neutron spectrum, one-group cross sections and isomeric branchings. ONIX has many other functionalities that are described in the documentation (https://onix-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html)
What nuclear data libraries does ONIX use?
Theoretically, ONIX can be used with any libraries as long as it is converted into a custom format. As of now, ONIX provides ready-to-use ENDF/B-VIII.0 and JEFF3.2 libraries for decay and fission yields. ONIX also provides a constant one-group cross section library obtained from an ONIX+OpenMC coupled simulation of a VVER reactor.
Unlike many other depletion codes, ONIX updates isomeric branching each time OpenMC computes a new neutron spectrum.
What language is ONIX written in?
ONIX is fully written in Python 3 with an object-oriented design. ONIX Python API allows for readability, flexibility and reusability of its functionalities.
What are the applications of ONIX?
ONIX can be used for nuclear reactor simulations, fissile material production analysis, nuclear archaeology and nuclear decay calculations. ONIX is equipped with functionalities that are very useful for nuclear archaeology and nuclear forensic.
How do you install ONIX?
Check out this small installation guide (https://onix-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html). ONIX is a small Python package that you should install from source.
The amazing work done with OpenMC has motivated and inspired our project with ONIX. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many contributors of OpenMC and particularly Paul Romano who has been helping me a lot with OpenMC.
We hope you are going to find interest in ONIX and contribute to making it better. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions or if you want to contribute: firstname.lastname@example.org

Land cover mapping using freely available optical remote sensing imagery is often hampered by high cloud cover. Kenya is no exception and the mapping of coastal Kenya is greatly hindered by this. To resolve and counter this problem, organisations and people are adopting the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).
Data availability, especially the global coverage of free Sentinel-1 data, offers an unprecedented opportunity for research and design (R&D). In recent time more people and organizations are using SAR data in their work. SAR is an active sensor that can "see" through darkness, clouds and rain, detecting changes in habitat, levels of water and moisture, effects of natural or human disturbance and general changes in the Earth’s surface after events such as earthquakes or sinkhole openings.
In the Kenyan case, SAR is particularly useful in mapping and monitoring the tropical/sub-tropical regions or areas with monitoring difficulty due to cloud cover. This is a serious problem especially in the Kenyan coastal regions where finding a cloud-free Landsat imagery is impossible.
A SAR data processing training course for 11 government staff was supported by Conservation International through funding from Global Environmental Facility was held in Perth Australia at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) between the 6th May to 17th May 2019. The training covered the basic of SAR, scattering mechanisms, SAR sensor variations, how to access SAR data, SAR software and tools, SAR data pre-processing, configuration of SAR imagery, basic SAR processing and interpretation, among others.
With the lectures and hands-on practice, the following objectives were attained;
- Participants understood the basis of radar remote sensing
- Participants appreciated the features of SAR imagery and basic SAR image interpretation
- Participants understood the key SAR data processing steps
- Trainees became familiar with Sentinel-1 products and Sentinel-1 data access
- The technical team were able to use the Sentinel-1 Toolbox within ESA’s SNAP for SAR data processing
- Participants were capable of processing Sentinel-1 GRD and SLC data via GUI of Sentinel-1 Toolbox
Going forward, Kenya’s System for Land-Based Emission Estimation (SLEEK) Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) technical team is now equipped with knowledge on how to apply SAR imagery to address the issue of cloud in the coastal part of the country. However, they still need computing resources including fast, reliable internet, computers with higher computing power since SAR imagery are usually heavy.

Our research explores how the first central processing stations of the auditory system extract the coarse temporal structure from the acoustic scene, which is important for communication processing. Current projects in our laboratory are focused on the Superior Paraolivary Nucleus (SPON), a prominent nucleus in the mammalian auditory brainstem. SPON neurons exhibit great sensitivity in signaling temporal cues with spiking responses that are extremely precise compared to other auditory nuclei. Our group has recently demonstrated that SPON neurons are tuned to respond to recurring sound features, such as periodically driven rhythm and pitch. In addition, SPON neurons are sensitive to singular features like abrupt starts and stops or gaps in acoustic stimuli. Our working hypothesis is that the SPON is extracting temporal information contained in natural sounds, and that it is an early locus in a "communication pathway".
A typical SPON neuron visualized using fluorescence immunohistochemistry.
Voltage-clamp recording of a SPON neuron.
Reconstruction of a SPON neuron that was labeled by an intracellular injection.
SPON fires in synchrony with the rhythm of the signal.
Our technical approaches combine electrophysiological, anatomical, molecular and behavioral methods to shed light on the SPON. We also make use of transgenic mouse models to target specific inputs to the SPON. Through the combined use of these techniques, and collaboration with mathematicians and neuroethologists, we anticipate to be able to both explore and define the specific role of the SPON for hearing and communication perception.

Open Cobalt at SIGGRAPH
Saba Kawas from Jordan has been working on an Open Cobalt-related project for her Masters in Design at North Carolina State University. Her focus is on Animation and International Media. She recently presented a poster session at SigGraph on "hyper-learning interface developing navigation toolsets for virtual environments. Working with Open Cobalt, Saba's poster session discussed two core areas of her research: the design and development of a media explanation generator and the process of enabling contextualized hyper-linking Open Cobalt virtual exhibit spaces. This work has been published at the ACM Portal as part of Siggraph proceedings. It is great to see that, even before its alpha release, the Open Cobalt technology is starting to be used as a tool to enable such exploratory work with virtual worlds.

The Chalmers DST (Dynamic Stiffness Tester) measures the MD torsional stiffness of corrugated board by a natural oscillation technique which was patented by Korutest in 2005. Using this method the board is subjected to a displacement and allowed to oscillate freely. The frequency of this oscillation is directly proportional to the torsional stiffness of the sample. The stiffer the sample, the higher the frequency.
The corrugated board sample is cut 25 mm wide along the machine direction (across the flutes) and 148 mm in the cross machine direction. The sample is placed in the self centering clamps and the Test button pressed. After four oscillations the result is displayed on the LCD screen. A USB port allows direct coupling to a computer for data collection.
A knife guide made from a 6mm thick steel plate with a handle is supplied with the DST. This guide allows the use of a Stanley type knife to cut samples on the spot. A blade thinner than 0.45 mm (Stanley 1991) is required for the cutter. Some customers use modified Billerud ECT cutters, single blade slicing type cutters, laser or even X-Y plotter type sample cutting tables.
The DST can be used right next to the machine providing real time data to the operators. This data can also be captured and directed to a mill-wide MIS system. As well as having a dedicated DST to monitor corrugated grade changes, many of our customers have placed their second DST on a trolley so that the tester can be easily moved around the plant – taking readings from different converting machines, ensuring quality at every stage of the production process.
The DST is supplied with a USB cable and device recognition software. Free Windows HyperTerminal software can be used for downloading data or if that is not available we recommend WinWedge a reasonably priced piece of software from TalTech.com. WinWedge allows you to enter results directly into an Excel spreadsheet.

# Obtain Mi Home device token
Use any of these methods to obtain the device token for the supported miio devices.
## Method 1 - Obtain device token for miio devices that hide their token after setup
Use one of these methods to obtain the device token for devices that hide their tokens after setup in the Mi Home App (like the Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner with firmware 3.3.9_003077 or higher). This is usually the case for most Mi Home devices. The latest versions of the Mi Home smartphone app dont hold the token anymore so before you begin with any of these methods you will need to install an older version of the smartphone app. Version 5.0.19 works for sure with the 1st gen Vacuum Robot, for the 2nd gen (S50) you should try version 3.3.9_5.0.30. Android users can find older version of the app [here](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/mihome/).
### Android users
#### Rooted Android Phones
* Setup your Android device with the Mi Home app version 5.0.19 or lower
* Install [aSQLiteManager](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.andsen.asqlitemanager) on your phone
* Use a file browser with granted root privilege and browse to /data/data/com.xiaomi.smarthome/databases/
* Copy miio2.db to an accessable location
* Open your copy of miio2.db with aSQLiteManager and execute the query "select token from devicerecord where localIP is '192.168.0.1'" where you replace the IP address with the IP address of the device you want to get the token from. It will show you the 32 character device token for your Mi Home device.
#### Non-Rooted Android Phones
##### Extract token from log file
This method will only work when you install the Mi Home app version v5.4.54. You can find it [here](https://android-apk.org/com.xiaomi.smarthome/43397902-mi-home/). It looks like Xiaomi made a mistake in this app version where the log file written to internal memory exposes the device tokens of your Xiaomi miio devices.
* Setup your Android device with the Mi Home app version 5.4.54
* Log in with you Xiaomi account
* Use a file explorer to navigate to /sdcard/SmartHome/logs/Plug_Devicemanager/

Cat5e vs. Cat6 vs. Cat6a: It's Mostly About Speed. Installation is $50 per connector, which makes the cost of wiring a home for CAT6 around $700 and CAT6A around $850. Cat6A is the newest iteration and utilizes an exceptionally thick plastic casing that helps further reduce crosstalk. As the above chart illustrates, Cat6a cables support high-speed data transfer over longer distances than Cat6 cables. For Cat6 cables, maximum lengths depend heavily on network speeds and crosstalk conditions. Cat 6a and Cat 6 are also obtainable in Stranded wire vs. Therefore, Cat6a takes more space in a patch panel than Cat6. For example, in lower speed networks such as 10, 100, or 1,000 megabit systems (the 10/100/1000BASE-T standards), the maximum cable length is 100 meters (330 feet), with about 90% of that length used to transmit data between systems and the remaining 10% for the connection itself. Also, CAT6 cable can reach 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds by reducing the length to less than 50 meters. Cat 5e vs. Cat 6 vs. Cat 6A - which should you choose? As for cable price of Cat6 vs Cat7, Cat7 cable is more expensive than Cat6 cable if they are compared under the same conditions. CAT6A cables transmit up to 500 MHz, which is … All copper wires, ranging from 8 – 10 per cable, are tightly wound to ensure that the chances of crosstalk are reduced. Extra shielding helps boost reliability and block out interference in areas that may suffer from heavy electromagnetic interference (EMI). The cost differences between Cat6 and Cat6a cables are relatively small, around 20-35%. The latter meets the UL910 standard, which is the strictest standard, thereby, making the cat 6 plenum cable the most required. For these sorts of applications, Cat6 may have some value. Now that we are settling into our new home one of my first projects is to get some networking run and move a couple coax lines. Cat6a cables are also a future-proof solution that can handle network upgrades. Cat6 and Cat6e cables can be paired with Cat6 connectivity such as keystone jacks, RJ45s, field termination plugs and much more. We all use ethernet cables in our homes and at workplaces. 4. In other words, it is important not to bend cables too much, as this can damage wiring and decrease performance quality. Cat6 cable is still seen as the basic standard for any new installation in the majority of standard office and building space. Of course, Cat6a would be even better but Cat6a is relatively new and the price jump between Cat6 and Cat6a is much steeper than the difference between Cat5e and Cat6. All Rights Reserved. increased 0.1 inches, from 0.25 inches to 0.35 inches. The bend radius is roughly four times the cable diameter. In this case, Cat6a (“a” here standing for “augmented”) is a better cable than the original Cat6. CAT6A is capable of supporting data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps at a maximum bandwidth of 500MHz. When CAT6 was first introduced it was approximately 50% more expensive than CAT5E, which made it cost prohibitive for many installations. Cat6a is capable of supporting data transfer rates of … That’s smaller than the smallest CAT6A UTP cable. Cat6 cables were created under a more exacting standard than previous versions of Ethernet cables to facilitate data transmission speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbps). Het verschil tussen een Cat6 en een Cat6a kabel zit hem met name in de snelheid waarmee de kabel data kan overbrengen en daarnaast volgt het verschil in bandbreedte. Razlike u troškovima između Cat6 i Cat6a kabela su relativno male, oko 20-35%.

At the beginning of July 2023, EEI conducted some training with water safety experts RLSS UK, facilitated by the RNLI. This training was delivered on a beach in Cornwall, allowing the newly qualified operators to see not only the benefits of using this new lifeguarding technology, but also the challenges, that come with operating a drone in this environment.
The beach environment offers an excellent training ground for drone operators, providing a unique blend of ideal conditions and harsh realities. Training in this setting allows remote pilots to prove the quality and capabilities of today’s lifeguarding technology, particularly the SwellPro Splash Drone 4, specifically in their routine lifeguarding responsibilities. By simulating real-time problems and encountering actual scenarios they will face daily, trainees gain invaluable experience and develop coping strategies personalised to them.
Operating drones on the beach presents a multitude of challenges that highlight the versatility and adaptability of these aerial devices. Encountering uninvolved people on the beach is a common occurrence, requiring drone operators to navigate the air space to achieve the required task while maintaining safety distances and protocols.
Additionally, logistical factors such as battery charging and signal interference become evident in this environment, emphasising the need for effective operational planning and a detailed understanding of the operating area.
The constantly changing beach environment poses a significant impact on drone flights. Strong winds, shifting tides, and unpredictable weather conditions force operators to adapt their flight strategies accordingly. Training in such dynamic conditions allows pilots to understand the limitations of their drones and adapt their techniques to ensure successful outcomes.
Practical training on the beach enables remote pilots to explore the full potential of drone technology in real-time scenarios. It demonstrates how drones can support lifeguards by providing aerial surveillance, rapid response, and increased situational awareness. By witnessing first-hand the effectiveness of drone deployment, operators gain confidence in utilising this technology to enhance their lifeguarding duties.
While theoretical training provides a foundation of knowledge, conducting training in the actual operational environment is paramount. Trainees witness the importance of proper training and learn to operate safely and in accordance with UK CAA policy and legal regulations.
By experiencing the challenges and rewards of beach drone operations during training, remote pilots develop the skills necessary to fulfil their responsibilities effectively.
In conclusion, drone training in the beach environment offers trainees an opportunity to tackle real-time problems, navigate logistical hurdles, and witness the impact of environmental changes on drone operations. By honing their skills in these conditions, remote pilots gain practical experience, develop coping strategies, and unleash the true potential of drone technology in lifeguarding duties.


Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It is used to transmit binary data over channels that only support ASCII text, such as email messages or HTTP requests.
In Base64, each three bytes of binary data are represented by four characters from a set of 64 characters, which consist of uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and two additional characters, typically “+” and “/”.
The encoding process converts the binary data into its corresponding ASCII representation, while the decoding process converts the ASCII representation back into the original binary data. Base64 is widely used in web development and other computer applications for encoding and decoding data.


Digital Infrared Photography
I have become intrigued by the possibilities of digital infrared photography. Infrared light (IR) is all around us but cannot be seen, although it is possible to adapt digital cameras to capture IR. There are two methods - the easiest and cheapest is to attach an infrared filter to the lens, which cuts out visible and UV light but allows IR through to the sensor. The drawbacks are that obtaining the correct exposure is a matter of trial and error, and long exposures are required - generally 20 seconds plus.
The second method is to have a digital camera converted to IR, which means modifying the sensor to capture only IR. The advantage is that the camera can then be used in the usual manner with normal exposure readings. The disadvantages are the cost compared to a filter, and once converted the camera can only be used for IR.
I first experimented using a filter, and became fascinated by the effects, so eventually I had a Nikon D200 converted to IR. I have included a few IR shots in the Simply Monochrome Gallery and will be adding more over time.

The ruggerdized Galaxy S6 Active goes official on AT&T
This year, Samsung turned the tables by introducing the Galaxy S6 which incorporates a premium look and feel but what happened to the IP58 rating of the Galaxy S5. Well, Samsung has the solution and they're calling it the Galaxy S6 Active but it looks nothing like the original Galaxy S6 and the fact that it's an AT&T device means that it is currently a US exclusive device.
Despite the camouflage look that Samsung painted on the Galaxy S6 Active, the device is still pretty much a Galaxy S6 deep down. The Galaxy S6 Active is still powered by Samsung's new Exynos octa core CPU and the gorgeous 5.1" Super AMOLED 1440 X 2560 display is still included in the package. Also identical is the 16MP f1.9 camera which can still be activated via the double tap home button gesture.
All of this is packaged into a MIL-STD 810G chassis that is IP68 rated meaning that you'll be able to bring it down for a undersea expedition. Despite dropping the fingerprint scanning home button on the Galaxy S6 Active, a dedicated Activity Zone button on the left of the device will launch select apps in a flash.
AT&T will be offering the Galaxy S6 Active starting this Friday (June 12) for $199 with a 2 year contract or as low as $23.17 a month with the AT&T's Next 24 plan

The glove that lets you "see" underwater
Researchers at the Tsukuba University in Japan have developed a sonar glove that allows swimmers or post-tsunami rescue teams to "see" with their fingers in murky waters.
Aisen Chacin and Takeshi Oozu created a very special DIY kit. IrukaTact is a portable underwater sonar system that, when used as a glove, will tell users they're approaching objects or other solid materials.
The PhD duo believes that their 3D-printed sonar can play a crucial role during flood searches. IrukaTact - a blend of the words "iruka" ( the Japanese word for "dolphin") and "tactile" - features small water jets that will help you feel and find anything up to two feet away.
"The system detects the topography of flooded areas with an ultrasonic range finding sonar sensor that sends haptic signals to the wearer's fingertips. These signals are produced by micropumps which propel water jets onto each digit," explained Chacin.
"The strength of the jets is dependent on the proximity of the object that the wearer is hovering over; the closer the object is to the wearer's hand, the more pressure they will feel on their fingertips."
The inventors say that IrukaTact's potential applications go beyond the sonar itself. Chacin and Oozu want to see it connected to virtual reality interfaces and 3D simulation devices in underwater environments.


Advanced Video Coding (AVC) is the most popular video compression standard on the planet. Also referred to as H.264, the standard is used to record, compress, and distribute video content with resolutions up to and including 8K UHD.
With the AVC video stream, there are many benefits. Here's more about it and how it works with video encoders.
What is AVC?
The H.264/AVC standard, or codec, has been designed to provide high-quality video at much lower bit rates than earlier standards like MPEG-2, H.263, or MPEG-4 Part 2.
Bitrates are the units of information that must get processed for each video second. Because of its design flexibility, the standard works with various apps across different networks and systems, including Blu-ray, on-demand, and broadcast. In addition, end-points can offer different bitrates and resolutions.
What is H.264?
Two standards bodies developed H.264/AVC. The ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group called the standard "H.264," while the ISO/IEC JTC1 Moving Picture Experts Group, or MPEG, called it "Advanced Video Coding," or "AVC." However, H.264 and AVC both use the same technology interchangeably.
Various patents restrict H.264/AVC. To use the technologies for commercial use requires the payment of royalties. H.264 technology is free to use for end-users.
The Importance of Video Encoding
With video encoding, the size of RAW video data gets compressed, so it's easier to move from one location to another. Without compression, a RAW video file could easily surpass the size of one Blu-ray, making it nearly impossible to move across different formats. During this process, redundant visual information and details get removed, while mathematical calculations generate most of each video frame rather than recording every frame.
What is AVC Codec?
A codec is either a device or computer program designed to encode and decode a data stream or signal. It's the mechanism that compresses the video content and makes it available in various formats. At no part during the process is video quality compromised.
Who Uses AVC Video Streams?
As of October 2020, H.264/AVC remained the dominant codec. In a survey at the time, 91% of participants used it. The next nearest codec (see below), H.265, had less than half that number. AVC stream is used extensively by the most prominent internet sources, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, YouTube, Vimeo, and Apple's iTunes Store.
In addition, the AVC coding codec makes it possible to distribute and stream the same content across various streaming devices. These include laptops and desktop computers, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and gaming consoles.
Where AVC Streaming is Heading
Eventually, H.264/AVC will get replaced as the preferred standard. However, that's probably not going to be H.265/MPEG-H Part 2, as some might have guessed.
The newer standard offers between 25% and 50% better data compression at the same level of video quality at the same bitrate. It also supports video resolutions up to 8K UHD.
Despite this, H.265 lacks far behind H.264/AVC in terms of usage. Increased patent protection is often cited as the primary reason for this. Because of this, the future might eventually be AV1, which has a royalty-free licensing model, making it ideal for open-source use.
Where to Start with AVC Video Streams
Through the Zype App Creator platform, your streaming video content is easily accessible across multiple platforms. You can quickly build, customize, and launch apps anywhere, thanks to the service. It allows you to bring your site, video library, or print publications to apps through the Apple App Store, Google Play, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple News, and more.

Coral Reef Environment Autonomous Monitoring System
Emmanuel A. Symigdalas
Coral Reef ecosystems are amongst the most sensitive on the planet. Due to their sensitivities and significance, both as biodiversity centers as well as indicators of the condition of the overall environment, they are the object of extensive research and monitoring by the marine biology/scientific community worldwide. However, the quantity and quality of available data is limited.
European Patent Office Applications: Pending
How do Scientific communities monitor Coral Reef Ecosystems today?
Coral Reef Monitoring has been conducted by physically visiting the reefs with specialized scientific teams which collect data, evaluate them and draw conclusions. This method is effective but the question rising taking into account the condition of coral reefs today is the following:
Is today's Coral reef monitoring amount enough?
While there are plenty of scientific teams monitoring the coral reefs around the globe the data collected do not seem to be sufficient. Scientific teams use various methods to monitor the reefs some including scientific diving teams, ROVs, research vessels and scientific personnel. Even though these methods seem to be sufficient they are restricted by key limitations which affect the quantity and quality of the data collected during field visists. Such limitations are time, human error, anthropogenic interference, trip planning and cost . In order to deal with these limitations new methods need to be established which focus on autonomous and automated monitoring systems.
Our Proposal [CREAMS]
CREAMS is our proposal for an automated, remotely functioning, robotic, Artificially Intelligent system composing of remote, independent, integrated probes carrying a multitude of sensors. CREAMS monitors fauna, flora and ambient parameters regularly as programmed. CREAMS can also be triggered by irregular or significant events observed in the monitoring area.
Data collected by each and all sensors and probes are remotely transmitted to a regional or central base of operation in digital form. There, all data collected are further analyzed and evaluated by an AI able operating system capable of processing it where all relevant types and potential correlations, patterns and trends can be indentified.
The level of human/scientific interference can be determined according to the judgment of the scientific team or teams controlling the overall system.
The device consists of two parts An automated mobile surface vessel illustrated on the right as (CREAMS Surface Vessel and a submersible drone illustrated as (CREAMS submersible drone) connected to each other via a cable.
The cable connecting the two parts of the device keeps them attached to each other as well as transfers data and communication between them.
The platform is responsible for energy regeneration , data communication, data transferring to the control centre, and the positioning.
The drone is responsible for any data collection below two meters. The drone will be equipped with several sensors as well as one camera on the bottom side giving it the opportunity to capture three sixty images or videos and analyze them. The Device is governed by a specially developed AI software capable of following its pre-programmed routines, but also formulating additional action if triggered by it’s surroundings.
The system consists of two parts, the device and the centre of operation.
The floating platform receives orders from the control centre which is operated
Authorized personnel. Once the orders have been received the device begins the activation of a series of protocols in order to function reach the designated research area , collect data and initially analyze them before sending them to the main computer based on the centre of operation. The operations and protocols are guided by the Artificial Intelligent software which will be located both on the device and the centre of operation at different levels of authority.
Methodology and Purposes
1.Behavior / Abundance/ Diversity of: Fauna and flora
2.Simultaneously monitoring all relevant ambient parameters:
3.Evaluation/ Correlation/ preliminary recommendations by AI of CREAMS
4.Scientific evaluation of all above and conclusions in regular or irregular formats ( subject to types of events observed)
5.Availability of all above to the Regional/ Global Scientific Community for further evaluation/ study/ analysis.
CREAMS is a system designed to monitor marine reef ecosystems. The objective for CREAMS is to scan and analyze coral reef ecosystems efficiently, accurately and in a higher rate. The desirable conclusions that CREAMS will be capable of producing are the following :
•Measure the abundance of coral reef fish families in an area.
•Measure the diversity of fish species in an area.
•Measure the hard and soft coral coverage in an area.
•Measure the diversity of hard and soft corals in an area.
•Identify areas where coral bleaching or other negative impact events take or have taken place.
•Correlate data acquired by sensors.
•Create patterns showing minimum to maximum ecosystem change through time.

CREAMS Development Plan
•The CREAMS project is beyond its initial conceptual and design phase I and is ready to proceed to its prototyping and development phase II (see relevant project plan).
•As already presented in the system presentation the entire concept is based on functionalities and capabilities of the CREAMS AOV as the basic “Operating module” and its interaction with the AI operating centre as also described in the CREAMS presentation.
• A Patent is already filled with the European Patent Office.(European Patent Office Application: Pending)
Phase II A
1.Prototype System Components
•AOV Design and Engineering Finalization
•AOV Prototype Construction
•AI software of the AOV- Development finalization
•Communication Protocol/ System Network
•Centre of Operation Prototype/ Initial System Design
-Assembly, System Integration
Phase II B
•Outdoors- Marine Environment (SEA)
•Common System Test
•Field Test: Coral Reef
•Field AOV/CC interaction
•Endurance test all Elements
Imagine a world where oceans are constantly monitored. A “CREAMS” AOV is programmed to monitor a specific area but what if a network of these AOVs is established. Creating a network of “CREAMS” stations could create a more global view of coral reef and marine environment state and compare patterns of environmental change.
In addition, by creating a global network of “CREAMS” will give the ability to interested parties such as Universities, Companies, Organizations etc. to acquire reliable data without the need to send scientific teams to any location.
Further advancements and research purposes for “CREAM”
“CREAMS” is currently in a very early stage of development. The first stage would be to create a prototype capable of conducting all the surveys mentioned earlier. By proving the concept of one “CREAMS” the project could advance into having several different applications such as:
•Be programmed to investigate many different types of environments
•House more advanced and accurate sensors
•Establish a global network of “CREAMS”

Artificial Intelligence transforms the way the right talent is sourced and recruited. It helps to hire the candidates more efficiently, and shortlist them more accurately in relatively less time. The AI automatically screens thousands of resumes quickly and automates time-consuming manual tasks. By making AI a part of the hiring process, the recruiters can achieve the goals faster.
2. AI improves the hiring process:
Surveys show that on an average, if a candidate applies for a job opening through a website, it approximately takes 10 days for the recruiting team to get in touch with the candidate and hire the person. But, with AI, this entire process can significantly be improved. Using the predictive analysis method, the AI improves the hiring process.
3. AI improves the candidate experience:
The AI-powered chatbots guide the candidates efficiently as and when needed. Regardless of the time, the AI-powered chatbots are readily present to address the concerns of the candidates.
4. AI accelerates the process:
When recruiters have to fill in a job role in a stipulated time, manual processing is not effective. Artificial Intelligence enables the recruiter to build a longer talent pipeline faster and makes recruiting experience more effective.
5. AI analyzes the candidates:
The AI analyzes the presence of candidates across the social media. Based on the candidate’s presence, the AI predicts the probability of the person being interested in the role. These predictions help the recruiters to shortlist the candidates easily.
6. AI is unbiased:
With the Artificial Intelligence, there is no room for bias. The AI picks the candidates purely based on their skill set, qualifications, and experience. It helps in selecting the suitable candidate for the role.
Artificial Intelligence has already brought tremendous changes to the staffing process. Millennium Infotech has embraced Artificial Intelligence and has been facilitating the candidates and the recruiters to experience a seamless hiring process. Through AI, we enable the recruiters to automate repetitive tasks and increase productivity.

ROBUST COST-EFFECTIVE MINI-INTERROGATORS
Making continuous monitoring the standard
Sentea has the ambition to become a market leader in fiber optic sensor interrogators leveraging the benefits of Silicon Photonics.
Fiber optic sensing allows for highly accurate, robust and continuous structural health monitoring, predicting and preventing equipment failure and structural damage to infrastructure. Unaffected by electro-magnetic fields and resistant to extreme temperatures and stress, fiber optic sensors can be used even in the most harsh environments. Furthermore these sensors can also be used to monitor, control and improve the efficiency of equipment and processes.
Traditional interrogators contain expensive and mechanically assembled optical parts limiting the use of fiber optic sensors to high-end applications. Using Silicon Photonics, Sentea can make interrogators small and cost-effective, bringing fiber optic sensing to a wide range of applications in markets such as wind, oil and gas energy, construction of civil infrastructure, heavy industry and transport.

Structural Health Monitoring
Bridges, dams, tunnels as well as buildings can be equipped with fiber optic sensors for continuous structural health monitoring.
Fiber sensors mounted in or onto concrete or steel structures predict and detect small defects early on. Preventive maintenance can then be performed to avoid structural damage to the infrastructure.
Bearing Condition Monitoring
Bearings pre-equipped with fiber optic sensors are being launched commercially and bring the benefits of fiber optic sensing to ships, trains, trucks and heavy construction equipment.
Continuous load sensing improves the efficiency of rotating equipment, while lifetime prediction and early failure detection prevent damage to the bearing and more importantly to expensive surrounding parts like gearboxes and engines.
Wind Turbine Efficiency
Fiber optic sensors can be installed on blades, bearings, gearbox, tower and jacket of wind turbines to predict, detect and prevent failures before they lead to costly repairs.
Equally important fiber optic sensors embedded in the blades can be used to monitor and increase the efficiency of the turbine.

Conduct Disturbance Immunity (CS)
The immunity of conducting disturbance is an important test to measure the EMC index of the equipment under test (EUT). At present, the test of this project in China is mainly based on the GB/T17626.6:2008 standard, which is about the resistance of the equipment to the conduct disturbance from the 9KHz~80MHz frequency range. The equipment is coupled with RF by at least one cable (such as power line, signal line, ground line etc.), and the actual test frequency is usually 150 KHz ~ (80) MHz. Its test configuration diagram is as the following:
Conduct Disturbance Immunity Test Configuration Diagram
1. The purpose and application of conducting disturbance immunity test.
The main source of disturbance involved in the GB/T17626.6:2008 standard is the electromagnetic field generated by the RF transmitter in the 9kHz~80MHz frequency range. The electromagnetic field acts on the wiring lines, communication lines and interface cables of electrical and electronic equipment, which may be as long as several wavelengths of the interference frequency, so the leads become passive antennas. By receiving the induction of the external electromagnetic field, the lead cable can coupling the external interference to the device by conducting mode (eventually, disturb the device in the form of near field electromagnetic formed by the RF voltage and current), finally affect the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, the purpose of this standard is to establish a public reference for evaluating the resistance to conduct disturbance of RF field induction, and to provide a basic reference for the professional technical committee or the users and manufacturers of the products concerned.
2. Conduct disturbance immunity test arrangement and test
1) Typical test arrangement is as follows:
a. Where coupling and decoupling devices are required, the distance between them and the equipment to be tested should be between 0.1 and 0.3m, and be connected to the reference connection floor. Connection cables between coupling and decoupling devices and the equipment to be tested shall be as short as possible and shall not be tied or coiled.
b. Other grounding terminals of the tested equipment should also be connected to the reference floor by coupling and decoupling network CDN-M1.
c. For all tests, the total length of cable between the tested equipment and the auxiliary equipment (including any internal cable of the coupled decoupling network used) shall not exceed the maximum length specified by the manufacturer of the equipment under test.
d. If the device under test has a keyboard or portable attachment, the simulated hand should be placed on the keyboard or wound around the attachment and connected to the reference connection floor.
2) Test Procedure
a. The equipment to be tested shall be tested under expected operating and climatic conditions. Record the ambient temperature and relative humidity at the time of the test.
b. The calibration of the test system should be carried out before each test to avoid test error and ensure that the system meets the necessary common mode impedance.
c. The test signal generator is connected to the coupling device (coupling and decoupling network, electromagnetic clamp, current injection probe) in turn.
d. Grade of test level is set according to requirement, the range of sweep frequency is from 150kHz to 80MHz or 230MHz, 1kHz sine wave is used to modulate the amplitude and the modulation rate is 80% to the level of modulated interference signal. When sweep with frequency increasing progressively, the step size should not exceed 1% of the previous frequency. At each frequency, the resident time of the amplitude modulated carrier shall be no less than the necessary time for the operation and response of the device to be tested, but the minimum shall not be less than 0.5s. Sensitive frequencies (e.g. clock frequencies) should be analyzed separately.
3) Evaluation of test results
The test results shall be classified according to the loss of function or deterioration of the performance of the tested equipment, it is related with the performance level specified by the manufacturer and the demand-side of the test, or by the agreement of the manufacturer and the buyer of the product. The recommended categories are as follows:
a. Normal performance in the limits imposed by the manufacturer, the demand side or the buyer.
b. Temporary performance degradation and loss of function after termination of interference, and no artificial intervention until the device under test resumes its normal performance.
c. Temporary performance degradation and loss of function, recovery requires human intervention.
d. Failure of hardware or software, or loss of data, resulting in unrecoverable degradation of performance and loss of functionality.

Blu-ray - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.Blu-ray or Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a digital optical disc data storage format. It was designed to supersede the DVD format, and is capable of storing several hours of video in high-definition (HDTV 720p and 1080p) and ultra high-definition resolution (2160p). The main application of Blu-ray is as a medium for video material such as feature films and for the physical distribution of video games for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The name "Blu-ray" refers to the blue laser (actually a violet laser) used to read the disc, which allows information to be stored at a greater density than is possible with the longer-wavelength red laser used for DVDs.

Since the firsts scientific journals were created in the 17th Century in Europe, such as the Journal des Scavants from France (January 5, 1665) and the Philosophical Transactions from the Royal Society in England (March 6, 1665), until the present day, there have been many changes that the scientific work has undergone, from the manner in which researchers work to the means used to publish their results.
Traditionally, the editorial teams of the scientific journals carried out their activities around the publication on paper, therefore, the resources that the authors of an article could use to exhibit their research and results were reduced only to text and images, which in many cases were limited by the editorial guidelines of the journal, as the numbers had a maximum quantity of pages in order to maintain the printing costs in line with the journal’s budget. In addition, in many cases, the images had to be designed so that they were understood in black and white because, again, the printing costs were higher when someone wanted to publish the content of the scientific article in color.
These situations were overcome by scientific journals in the last two decades when the possibility of publishing on the web emerged, using electronic formats such as HTML or PDF, the latter being the format that has had the greatest acceptance in the publication of content for scientific journals, therefore, many of the editorial teams stopped thinking about the printed version to start with the digital version. Nevertheless, the PDF keeps the disadvantage of not allowing the use of all the elements that the electronic publication provides, for example, the incorporation of video, audio or the full data as part of the content of the scientific article, which is really useful not only as an esthetic or superficial feature, but also, implemented correctly, this can strengthen and support to a great extent the results obtained from the research.
This is why, if the editorial teams of the scientific journals understand the value that the XML JATS file (standard since 2012) has to strengthen their electronic publication, they can use many of the available resources, which go beyond the exclusive use of text and images, such as animations (animated GIFs) that reduce the amount of graphics and can give “life” to time series, making the argument that the author wants to present to his readers more understandable.
A particular case is presented by the editorial team of the Estudio sobre las Culturas Contemporáneas journal indexed at Redalyc.org, who have understood the importance of the use of the available electronic resources in the publication model based on the XML JATS, as a support to the result of a scientific research and they have made available to their readers the possibility to listen the audio of a score, that in the case of a PDF, it could be just published as an image. Unfortunately, the number of readers that have the knowledge to interpret or understand the score is low. In addition, this allows authors of the articles to use much more elements as a support for their scientific discourse. This demonstrates how a scientific journal that understands the possibilities that the electronic publication provides based on XML JATS can be strengthened.
