We perform full-wave simulations of propagation of L-band microwave signals in forested areas to study forest effects on microwave remote sensing, wireless communications, and hidden object detection. Initially, full-wave simulations of forests were limited to eight-meter-tall trees. With the aid of computational enhancement by a fast hybrid method (FHM) solving Maxwell's equations, a height of trees extends to 13 m followed by 17 m. The FHM applies to 91 trees of a height of 17 m, where the volumetric space in the simulation domain is equivalent to 133 wavelengths by 133 wavelengths and 80 wavelengths. We will continue to investigate the effects of tapering and bifurcated trunks, as well as the presence of leaves, on microwave remote sensing. We illustrate the spatial distribution of electric fields under forests. Computational efficiency of the FHM is also discussed. The results indicate that L-band microwave signals can penetrate through forests, enabling the detection of soil and objects below, and GPS signals can be successfully received by receivers beneath forested areas.

Reasoning is a central problem in artificial intelligence (AI). Natural language inference (NLI) is a fundamental task that aims to discern the logical relationship between two natural language sentences. Such a capability underlies many real-life applications. One challenge of NLI is that it involves different reasoning requirements and linguistic phenomena. Recently, deep prompt tuning has achieved performance comparable to full-scale fine-tuning. These trained prompts can fit subtasks or data regimes with only a small number of parameters to avoid overfitting. However, one prompt is not adequate for fitting various data regimes. In this paper, we aim to leverage the benefits of deep prompt tuning to craft a more adaptable model for complex natural language inference problems. We propose a novel parameter-efficient approach, named Mixture of Prompt Experts (MOPE), designed to learn various prompts, addressing the inadequacy of one single prompt for tasks comprising multiple sub-tasks with various distributions. This novel approach integrates the mixture of experts with parameter-efficient prompt tuning. Our experimental results show that MOPE achieves better performance on the natural language inference tasks compared to the baseline models.

The converters in an AC/DC grid form actuated boundaries between the AC and DC subgrids. In both simple linear and balanced dq-frame models, the states on either side of these boundaries are coupled only by control inputs. In this paper, we show how this topological property imparts all AC/DC grids with poset-causal information structures. A practical benefit is that certain decentralized control problems that are hard in general are tractable for poset-causal systems. We also show that special cases like multi-terminal DC grids can have coordinated and leader-follower information structures.

UAWSNs face challenges such as long propagation delays, limited bandwidth, and varying channel conditions. To solve these problems, we developed a new protocol called Multi- Hop Cross-Layer Optimized Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (CLO-HARQ) suitable for UAWSNs. This protocol automatically changes the retransmission strategy and error correction redundancy based on real-time feedback from the physical and network layers. A unique feature of this protocol is the inclusion of environmental factors such as water salinity and temperature in the decision-making process. Also, using Stochastic Network Calculus (SNC), stochastic traffic characteristics predict single-hop and multi-hop communication delay (delay), energy usage (energy usage), and throughput. In the performance evaluation of CLO-HARQ, it has been shown to provide significant improvement in efficiency, throughput, and delay over existing HARQ methods. It is well-suited for long-term underwater monitoring and is a sustainable solution for energy-constrained sensor networks.

Object manipulation has been extensively studied in the context of fixed base and mobile manipulators. However, the overactuated locomotion modality employed by snake robots allows for a unique blend of object manipulation through locomotion, referred to as loco-manipulation. The following work presents an optimization approach to solving the loco-manipulation problem based on non-impulsive implicit contact path planning for our snake robot COBRA. We present the mathematical framework and show high fidelity simulation results for fixed-shape lateral rolling trajectories that demonstrate the object manipulation.
