Single-tree detection is one of the main research topics in quantifying the structural properties of forests. Drone Li DAR systems and terrestrial laser scanning systems produce high-density point clouds that offer great promise for forest inventories in limited areas. However, most studies have focused on the upper canopy layer and neglected the lower forest structure. This paper describes an innovative tree detection method using drone Li DAR data from a new perspective of the under-canopy structure. This method relies on trunk point clouds, with undercanopy sections split into heights ranging from 1 to 7 m, which were processed and compared, to determine a suitable height threshold to detect trees. The method was tested in a dense cedar plantation forest in the Aichi Prefecture, Japan, which has a stem density of 1140 stems·ha^(-1) and an average tree age of 42 years. Dense point cloud data were generated from the drone Li DAR system and terrestrial laser scanning with an average point density of 5000 and 6500 points·m^(-2), respectively. Tree detection was achieved by drawing point-cloud section projections of tree trunks at different heights and calculating the center coordinates. The results show that this trunk-section-based method significantly reduces the difficulty of tree detection in dense plantation forests with high accuracy(F1-Score=0.9395). This method can be extended to different forest scenarios or conditions by changing section parameters.

Over the past decade, the continuous surge in cloud computing demand has intensified data center workloads, leading to significant carbon emissions and driving the need for improving their efficiency and sustainability. This paper focuses on the optimal allocation problem of batch compute loads with temporal and spatial flexibility across a global network of data centers. We propose a bilevel game-theoretic solution approach that captures the inherent hierarchical relationship between supervisory control objectives, such as carbon reduction and peak shaving, and operational objectives, such as priority-aware scheduling. Numerical simulations with real carbon intensity data demonstrate that the proposed approach success-fully reduces carbon emissions while simultaneously ensuring operational reliability and priority-aware scheduling.

A new definition of phase, called the γ-segmental phase, is proposed for stable nonlinear systems from an input-output perspective. The definition is graphically established upon a disk segment covering the normalized numerical range of a nonlinear system plotted in the unit disk. The Hilbert transform is employed which acts as an enabling instrument for complexifying real-valued input-output trajectories of a system. A small phase stability criterion is developed for a cyclic feedback system consisting of multiple subsystems, namely, \begin{equation*}\Psi_{\gamma_systems}\left(\boldsymbol{P}_systems\right)+\Psi_{\gamma_systems}\left(\boldsymbol{P}_systems\right)+\cdots+\Psi_{\gamma_{m}}\left(\boldsymbol{P}_{m}\right) \subset(-\pi, \pi)\end{equation*} where the interval-valued $\Psi_{\gamma}(\cdot)$ denotes the γ-segmental phase of a system. The proposed criterion can be regarded as a phase counterpart to the monumental small gain theorem.

Reconfigurable metasurface reflectors, which are key components of the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) have recently been considered as the countermeasures for the coverage hole problem in the fifth- and sixth-generation (5G/6G) mobile communication systems. In this paper, a novel varactor diodes mounted large-via mushroom-type (VDLM) structure with a wide reflection phase range is proposed to realize the variable multi-band metasurface reflector with controllable direction. Specifically, two varactor diodes for controlling the reflection direction and frequency band are mounted on the unit cell of the metasurface. In addition, the proposed VDLM structure consists of a large grounding conductor cylinder (large-via) to expand the reflection phase range, and mitigate the influence of the design gap that is caused between each frequency. According to our electromagnetic simulation results, the reflector with the proposed VDLM structure could control the reflection direction at selected frequency with a low sidelobe suppression ratio.

In order to compare rooted labeled trees (trees, for short), in this paper, we introduce an ancestral-path descendant-labels (APDL, for short) histogram distance as the
$L_{1}$
distance between histograms of triples consisting of the path from the root to
$v$
, the label of
$v$
and the multiset of labels in the descendant of
$v$
for every vertex
$v$
. Then, we show that the APDL histogram distance can be computed in linear time with respect to the number of vertices in trees and it is a metric. Furthermore, we compare APDL histogram distance with the isolated-subtree distance for real data.
We introduce a new framework of Markovian lifts of stochastic Volterra integral equations (SVIEs for short) with completely monotone kernels. We define the state space of the Markovian lift as a separable Hilbert spac...

Research on autonomous ships is being vigorously pursued globally. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is leading a phased approach to the development of unmanned large ships. In contrast, the development of small ships is progressing independently in countries with a robust recreational maritime culture, focusing on innovative hull designs and systems. The small ship market is distinguished by high rates of used vessel purchases, a preference for cost-effectiveness, and a general lack of navigational aids compared to larger vessels. Furthermore, small ships are often operated by amateurs rather than professional navigators. These market characteristics suggest that the adoption of small autonomous ships will likely lag behind that of larger vessels. In response, our research aims to develop an economical program that enables autonomous operations in existing small ships or provides navigational assistance to inexperienced operators. Initially, we identified the necessary technology and economical equipment required to retrofit existing small ships for autonomous functionality. Subsequently, we analyzed the vessel's motion model to determine suitable control parameters. A straightforward control method was selected to facilitate user comprehension of the ship's status and interaction with the autonomous program. Our goal is to allow users to grasp the ship's motion dynamics through devices designed for autonomous navigation and to effectively implement navigational programs.
