A free space frequency‐time‐domain technique for electromagnetic characterization of materials using reflection‐based measurement

In this report, a free space frequency‐time‐domain technique is presented for characterizing the electrical properties and thickness of the sample using multiple reflections and fabry‐perot resonance phenomenon. The retrieval of constitutive electromagnetic parameters of the sample has been carried out by comparing the measured reflection coefficient data from the sample at two different incident angles. The relative permittivity as well as relative permeability along with the thickness of different samples viz., beryllia, silicon, and plexiglass have been evaluated with high accuracy in the frequency range 1 to 15 GHz. The method is also experimentally validated by successfully reconstructing the unknown material properties of two different samples. The unique advantage of this method lies in non‐requirement of any prior knowledge of the sample's thickness for measuring the complex relative dielectric constant as well as relative permeability of the sample. To determine the electromagnetic properties of the sample, the sole knowledge of reflection coefficient data are needed. Moreover, the method does not involve any additional measurement for the reference calibration. The simple, cost‐effective proposed scheme is quite useful in many applications like accurate determination of signal strength in indoor wireless communication, through wall imaging, food industry, and so on.

基于检测与跟踪相互迭代的极暗弱目标搜索算法

针对极低信噪比（LSNR）情况下暗弱运动目标和背景噪声的强度难以区分的问题,提出了一种基于检测与跟踪相互迭代的极暗弱目标搜索算法,总体上采用将时域检测与空域跟踪的过程联合、迭代进行的新型策略。首先,在检测过程中计算检测窗口内信号片段与已经提取的背景估计特征的差别;然后,在跟踪过程中运用动态规划算法保留使得轨迹能量累积最大的轨迹;最后,自适应地调整下一检测过程中被保留轨迹的检测器阈值参数,使该轨迹内的像素能以更宽容的策略被保留到下一检测跟踪阶段。实验测试结果表明,所提算法可以在1%~2%的虚警率和约70%的检测率下探测到低至0 dB的暗弱运动目标。可见该算法可有效改善对LSNR暗弱目标的检测能力。     

基于双重权重偏差建模的无监督域适应

无监督域适应(Unsupervised Domain Adaptation,UDA)是一类新兴的机器学习范式,其通过对源域知识在无标记目标域上的迁移利用,来促进目标域模型的训练。为建模源域与目标域之间的域分布差异,最大均值差异(Maximum Mean Discrepancy,MMD)建模被广泛应用,其对UDA的性能提升起到了有效的促进作用。然而,这些方法通常忽视了领域之间对应类规模与类分布等结构信息,因为目标域与源域的数据类规模与数据分布通常并非一致。为此,文中提出了一种基于跨域类和数据样本双重加权的无监督域适应模型(Sample weighted and Class weighted based Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Network,SCUDAN)。具体而言,一方面,通过源域类层面的适应性加权来调整源域类权重,以实现源域与目标域之间的类分布对齐;另一方面,通过目标域样本层面的适应性加权来调整目标域样本权重,以实现目标域与源域类中心的对齐。此外,文中还提出了一种CEM(Classification Expectation Maximization)优化算法,以实现对SCUDAN的优化求解。最后,通过对比实验和分析,验证了所提模型和算法的有效性。

Cognitive work analysis to comprehend operations and organizations in the mining industry

Complex industrial systems, including mining, have a prominent challenge in understanding the interrelationship among the cognitive processes, working environment and available equipment. The concept of cognitive work analysis(CWA) transcends the traditional analytic methods of evaluating human tasks solely based on perceptual and physical traits, and rather implements the notions of behavioral and cognitive awareness indispensable for the intricacy of modern technology. In the last few decades, academic and industrial settings employ this type of analysis to set a suitable standard for a system's safety feasibility, and as a result reduce human-based errors. This research paper analyzes current CWA methods and proposes a five-level quantification model portraying the overall cognitive quality of a mining operation.

Low-Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Time Domain Characterization of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid–Rich Linseed and Fish Oil Emulsions during Thermal Air Oxidation

Linseed contains high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as α-linolenic acid (> 50% ALA-18:3), that are naturally protected against thermal oxidation by their encapsulation within linseed oil bodies (OB) by multiple components including antioxidant proteins and mucilage emulsifying agents. Linseed OB emulsions (LSE) can be produced by grinding linseed seeds, adding water, adjusting pH, and sonication. This is a process that can encapsulate externally added PUFA to minimize their thermal oxidation, as it does for the intrinsic ALA PUFA. Fish oil (FO) encapsulation into this LSE platform to form linseed fish oil emulsions (LSFE) offers the possibility of a nutritive delivery system of the biologically essential FO PUFA eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. In this study, ¹H low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) is used to characterize LSE's and LSFE's chemical and structural properties as well as their stability and changes under thermal oxidation (55 °C for 96 hours). ¹H LF-NMR data processing was developed to generate one-dimensional (1D) T₁ (spin–lattice), 1D T₂ (spin–spin), and 2D (T₁ vs. T₂) relaxation time spectra that can characterize OB emulsions and monitor their time domain fingerprints (spectrum peaks) of chemical and structural changes during the oxidation process. The ¹H LF-NMR analysis were further supported and correlated with conventional peroxide value test, self-diffusion, droplet size distribution, zeta potential estimation of surface stability, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of fatty acid profile changes under thermal oxidation conditions. The 1D and 2D LF-NMR relaxation spectra showed that the LSE and LSFE did not suffer intense oxidation process, due to PUFA assembly in OB oxidative protection. These results were further confirmed by the supportive analytical methodologies. The results of this study demonstrate the efficacy of ¹H LF-NMR methodology to monitor PUFA's rich oil and emulsion thermal oxidation.
