Sensing as the key to the safety and sustainability of new energy storage devices

New energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors are widely used in various felds because of their irreplaceable excellent characteristics. Because there are relatively few monitoring parameters and limited understanding of their operation, they present problems in accurately predicting their state and controlling operation, such as state of charge, state of health, and early failure indicators. Poor monitoring can seriously afect the performance of energy storage devices. Therefore, to maximize the efciency of new energy storage devices without damaging the equipment, it is important to make full use of sensing systems to accurately monitor important parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and strain. These are highly related to their states. Hence, this paper reviews the sensing methods and divides them into two categories: embedded and non-embedded sensors. A variety of measurement methods used to measure the above parameters of various new energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors are systematically summarized. The methods with diferent innovative points are listed, their advantages and disadvantages are summarized, and the application of optical fber sensors is emphasized. Finally, the challenges and prospects for these studies are described. The intent is to encourage researchers in relevant felds to study the early warning of safety accidents from the root causes.     

Multi-scale-based joint super-resolution and inverse tone-mapping with data synthesis for UHD HDR video

The performance of current joint super-resolution (SR) and inverse tone-mapping (ITM) frameworks is limited since they only account for information in small local receptive fields. Moreover, the SDR images in the existing dataset for joint SR-ITM are oversaturated compared to the HDR ground truths. The models trained on this dataset produce HDR images with color shift. This paper proposes a multi-scale-based joint SR-ITM model to reconstruct HR HDR videos. Image features are downsampled to different resolutions to increase the local receptive fields. Thus the proposed model can react to more complex patterns of input images. And we design a novel multi-path residual dense block (MRDB) as the model’s fundamental component to extract features. The proposed MRDBs can improve performance by combining dense feature learning and novel multi-path residual learning. Experiments show that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of quantitative and qualitative results. Furthermore, we propose a data synthesis pipeline to generate perceptually identical SDR images from their HDR counterparts. These SDR-HDR pairs are used to create a new dataset. Experiments demonstrate that models trained with our new dataset prevent color shift and preserve creative intent.     

Photo Noise

Like past avant-garde movements, glitch and noise in the twenty-first century are used to reveal the materiality of the medium. But instead of providing insight or clarity into the politics or social conditions of a technology, they demarcate broader conditions of opacity and blockage, contributing to what Jodi Dean has called ‘communicative capitalism’. The work of German photographer Thomas Ruff alongside the Düsseldorf School, New Photography and JPEG technology are used in this article to illustrate this tendency as a move away from meaning and toward visual noise and communicative breakdown. I use three core analytic registers: the deliberate failure to adhere to visual norms, communicative failure and machine failure and breakdown. Ruff’s work uses visual noise as art to at once reaffirm pervasive conditions of breakdown, failure and decline in high-tech global capitalism, while simultaneously providing a temporary reprieve from these conditions through an emergent form of visual beauty.     

Use of high-resolution satellite imagery in an integrated model to predict the distribution of shade coffee tree hybrid zones

In New Caledonia (21°S, 165°E), shade-grown coffee plantations were abandoned for economic reasons in the middle of the 20th century. Coffee species (Coffea arabica, C. canephora and C. liberica) were introduced from Africa in the late 19th century, they survived in the wild and spontaneously cross-hybridized. Coffee species were originally planted in native forest in association with leguminous trees (mostly introduced species) to improve their growth. Thus the canopy cover over rustic shade coffee plantations is heterogeneous with a majority of large crowns, attributed to leguminous trees. The aim of this study was to identify suitable areas for coffee inter-specific hybridization in New Caledonia using field based environmental parameters and remotely sensed predictors. Due to the complex structure of tropical vegetation, remote sensing imagery needs to be spatially accurate and to have the appropriate bands for monitoring vegetation cover. Quickbird panchromatic (black and white) imagery at 0.6 to 0.7 m spatial resolutions and multispectral imagery at 2.4 m spatial resolution were pansharpened and used for this study. The two most suitable remotely sensed indicators, canopy heterogeneity and tree crown size, were acquired by the sequential use of tree crown detection (neural network), image processing (such as textural analysis) and classification. All models were supervised and trained on learning data determined by human expertise. The final model has two remotely sensed indicators and three physical parameters based on the Digital Elevation Model: elevation, slope and water flow accumulation. Using these five predictive variables as inputs, two modelling methods, a decision tree and a neural network, were implemented. The decision tree, which showed 96.9% accuracy on the test set, revealed the involvement of ecological parameters in the hybridization of Coffea species. We showed that hybrid zones could be characterized by combinations of modalities, underlining the complexity of the environment concerned. For instance, forest heterogeneity and large crown size, steep slopes (> 53.5%) and elevation between 194 and 429 m asl, are favourable factors for Coffea inter-specific hybridization. The application of the neural network on the whole area gave a predictive map that distinguished the most suitable areas by means of a nonlinear continuous indicator. The map provides a confidence level for each area. The most favourable areas were geographically localized, providing a clue for the detection and conservation of favourable areas for Coffea species neo-diversity.

A new homotopy perturbation method for solving systems of partial differential equations

In this paper, a new homotopy perturbation method (NHPM) is introduced for obtaining solutions of systems of non-linear partial differential equations. Theoretical considerations are discussed. To illustrate the capability and reliability of the method three examples are provided. Comparison of the results of applying NHPM with those of applying HPM reveal the effectiveness and convenience of the new technique.     

ARMAX modelling of international tourism demand

Box–Jenkins (1970) models are often used to capture the autoregressive moving average of past observations of tourist arrivals from Japan to Taiwan and New Zealand. However, other explanatory variables, such as real income in the origin country, have also affected the demand for international travel. The purpose of this paper is to use the ARMAX model to investigate the dynamic relationship between tourism demand and real income of Japan, and to compare the findings with the single-equation model. Unit root tests and diagnostics are performed before estimating the income elasticity of travel demand by Japan for New Zealand and Taiwan based on seasonally unadjusted quarterly data for 1980(1) to 2004(2). The empirical results of the ARMAX model support the economic theory that the demand for international travel is positively related to income of the origin country.
