In the space community, there is increasing interest in augmentation of launch fairing thermal-acoustic blankets, to also control electromagnetic environment threats. This second paper by the authors reports on the development of simulation methods to predict the maximum expected electric field levels when RF absorbing materials are used to reduce the mean field. To account for frequency variance in a “frequency-stirred” ensemble, the paper reports the experimental validation of a new unconditional probability density function model – an enhancement to Rayleigh statistics – for the reverberant electric field magnitude at any location and any frequency.
Exceptional point (EP)-based optical sensors exhibit exceptional sensitivity but poor detectivity. Slightly off EP operation boosts detectivity without much loss in sensitivity. We experimentally demonstrate a high-de...

Pet owners experience difficulty in understanding their pets' body language and its implications for animal welfare, given that animals cannot utilize human speech to communicate their emotions and health conditions. However, previous experiments for analyzing cat behavior have demonstrated that cats are precisely expressive. DeepCat, a deep-learning approach developed in this study, translates cats' body language signals, enabling owners to discern their feline companions' intended messages and emotional states. Our DeepCat model was trained on a dataset comprising 10,000 cat images, implementing automatic labeling to track key features, including the tail, eyes, and mouth. Presented as a Flutter application, DeepCat can function everywhere, allowing owners to easily monitor their cats and make informed decisions in situations that require caution. This paper discusses the potential benefits and limitations of DeepCat and provides suggestions for future research in this domain.

Depressive Disorders (DD) is one of the most prevalent mental disorders in the world that may lead to suicide cases. To prevent the latter, ubiquitous early detection systems may be effective. Recent studies have since researched the development of such systems by exploiting several forms of data, including video, audio, Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMA), and passive sensing data using sensors embedded in mobile devices. To summarize the trends, opportunities, and existing challenges in this field, this study reviewed 15 papers to answer four research questions. EMA was the most popular data to be used in this task, but other approaches, such as using video, audio, and typing behaviors, may be considered due to the subjectivity of EMA. These data were typically recorded using smartphones and analyzed using Machine Learning (ML). However, most of the developed systems had yet to be implemented. Overall, it was concluded that further studies may need to explore usages of more objective data in multimodal approaches as well as consider using Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) to deploy these systems to provide more effective and efficient diagnoses. Future studies must also take into account the existing challenges of the data and infrastructures, such as the weaknesses of several data types, limitations of mobile devices, as well as the challenges of diagnosis approaches.

A fast, robust, resource-efficient, and distributed 3D map matching and merging algorithm utilizing extracted tomographic features is studied. Instead of depending on 3D features and descriptors, 2D features are extracted from 2D projections of horizontal sections of gravity-aligned local maps and matched with slices from the other map at different height differences, enabling the estimation of four degrees of freedom. The proposed algorithm is observed to provide order-of-magnitude improvements in memory and time efficiency over state-of-the-art feature extraction and registration pipelines, rendering it useful for near real-time map merging tasks in resource-limited platforms (e.g. UAVs).

This paper is concerned with the safe path planning of a drone while exploring an unknown space. The drone is localized by fusing measurements from sensors including an IMU, RGB-D sensor, and an optical flow system, while executing an RTAB-Map SLAM algorithm. The 3D-occupancy Octomap is generated online and a slicing algorithm is employed to compute 2D-maps. The maps' traversible coordinates are identified and used as potential points for the drone intermediate navigation to the destination. The final segment corresponds to a shortest Chebyshev-length path between all frontier pixels and the endpoint over the unexplored map region. The drone's path is computed using a skeletal path between the identified map boundaries so that the drone moves from its current location through the free map coordinates to the destination point. Simulation studies using within the interior of an apartment indicate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method.

The phenomenon of urbanization in Indonesia is inevitable. The new residential and economic centers in suburban areas is also a problem in city development. The gradual planning and development of smart cities in a living lab require consideration of the right location for a living lab. This study wants to show that suburban areas as city buffer zones can become living laboratories for smart city development. The diversity of situations in cities and regencies across Indonesia, the potential for resources, and the problems faced are the challenges of developing a living lab - Garuda Smart City Framework. This research uses the method of reviewing the literature of research publications for the last five years (2019–2023) to obtain information on Smart City development in Indonesia. We collected selected articles from databases in Google Scholar, IEEE, and Scopus using the Publish and Perish 8. The search keywords used were garuda AND Smart city AND Framework. The findings show the potential and dynamics of buffer zones to become appropriate living laboratories. Smart city regional planning can more holistically involve neighborhoods and address urban issues.

Wind power, solar power and water power are technologies that can be used as the main sources of renewable energy so that the target of decarbonisation in the energy sector can be achieved. However, when compared with conventional power plants, they have a significant difference. The share of renewable energy has made a difference and posed various challenges, especially in the power generation system. The reliability of the power system can achieve the decarbonization target but this objective often collides with several challenges and failures, such that they make achievement of the target very vulnerable, Even so, the challenges and technological solutions are still very rarely discussed in the literature. This study carried out specific investigations on various technological solutions and challenges, especially in the power system domain. The results of the review of the solution matrix and the interrelated technological challenges are the most important parts to be developed in the future. Developing a matrix with various renewable technology solutions can help solve RE challenges. The potential of the developed technological solutions is expected to be able to help and prioritize them especially cost-effective energy. In addition, technology solutions that are identified in groups can help reduce certain challenges. The categories developed in this study are used to assist in determining the specific needs and increasing transparency of the renewable energy integration process in the future.
