This paper investigates the electrical characteristics of a thin glass-fibre membrane to be employed as a support and dielectric substrate for a new kind of deployable antenna mechan-ical structure designed for space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar sensors on nano-satellite platforms. The approach outlined in this paper relies on cost-effective test fixtures built from material samples originally designed for mechanical testing. A simple Time Domain Reflectometry / Transmissometry (TDR/T) procedure enables the extraction of the material's complex permittivity.

Recent advance in ultra-fine-grained visual categorization (ultra-FGVC) has significantly boosted the capability of deep neural networks for ultra-FGVC tasks. However, building models for continually learning to recognize increasing ultra-fine-grained categories is still under-explored. This limits the application of ultra-FGVC techniques in real-world production. To this, we take the first attempt for continual ultra-FGVC. By evaluating existing continual learning methods on the constructed continual ultra-FGVC benchmark, we observe that the main bottleneck lies in the limited model plasticity for incrementally adapting to new tasks. This can be caused by excessive anti-forgetting constraints as the difficult ultra-FGVC task requires substantial update of parameters, and over-fitting on early tasks given that the ultra-fine-grained categories are with very few training samples. To tackle these problems, we propose a joint self-supervised learning and prompting model. The prompt-based continual learning framework offers proper anti-forgetting operation by fixed pretrained vision transformer and adaptive prompt selection. By jointly optimizing the learnable prompts with an adversarial self-supervised loss, the over-fitting on each continual learning task is mitigated. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing continual learning methods on the challenging continual ultra-FGVC problem.

The 1st International Workshop on Requirement engineering for Web3 systems (RE4Web3), held at the 32nd IEEE RE Conference 2024, fills in the space between traditional Requirements engineering (RE) and particular challenges posed by Web3 technologies. The workshop discussed changing RE artifacts, processes, and practices to efficiently build and operate emerging Web3 systems. The accepted papers showcase the diversity and depth of research in this emerging field, addressing key topics such as smart contract compatibility with Central Bank Digital Currencies, RE challenges in rollup construction, privacy and security in blockchain-based federated learning, and infrastructure requirements for blockchain-native information systems. The new findings described in these industry-focused papers add to the formation of the discipline and lay the cornerstone for future research and practice in RE integration with Web3 technologies.

In recent years, there has been a swift progression in employing novel methods in classrooms to enhance students’ academic achievements, especially in line with the growing digitization of education. Such methods often encompass systems like facial recognition to monitor various aspects of students, including attendance, emotional states, and attention. These tools are capable of evaluating students’ presence and engagement in class, offering quantifiable metrics regarding their concentration and emotions. However, a prominent challenge has been the translation of this data into an accessible form that enables educators to assess and enhance their teaching techniques swiftly. Our suggested solution tackles this issue by offering a real-time visual depiction of students’ classroom status through different visualization techniques. These visual aids allow teachers to promptly recognize trends in student focus, thus aiding in the strategic alteration of teaching styles. Furthermore, these visual representations can be tailored to display various metrics and applied to tasks beyond monitoring attention, like overseeing attendance or assessing student progress. By integrating these advanced visualizations into the educational process, both teaching efficacy and the learning experience for students and teachers alike can be substantially elevated.

The dynamic and uneven terrain of our environment introduces complexity for locomotion vehicles to navigate easily across different settings. Wheelchairs belong to the category of vehicles that require locomotion across various uneven terrains, such as stairs and other partitions. Therefore, the aim of this work is to design a wheel that can travel through various environments without using complex mechanisms. This aim was achieved by creating a novel transformable wheel. This wheel can turn into a legged wheel without using a complex mechanism and, when unnecessary, transform back into a normal wheel. Several simulations were carried out to understand the design's capability to overcome obstacles. In this case, the stair was the obstacle, and the results illustrated that the wheel is capable of climbing stairs without serious issues. Different parameters, such as speed and force, were examined with various values. The results showed that the weight on the wheelchair plays a significant role in climbing. For instance, with lighter weight, the structure moves without major slipping. The roughness of the surface is also related to the wheelchair's ability to reach the top of the stairs. A finer depth of cuts on the surface of the stairs increases the chance of the legged wheel firmly gripping and moving up the stairs.

Wood planers are high speed sophisticated lumber finishing machines that are difficult to operate and for which the available data shows complex, non-linear patterns. We present a machine learning approach to build a control loop for an industrial wood planer. In order to predict the thickness of the outgoing boards with better accuracy than the industry standard whilst allowing dynamic planer adjustments, we use an ensemble of Gaussian Processes with a specialized weighting scheme we call Automatic State Matching. It reduces the prediction error by 39% compared to current industrial practice.
