Phase-only adjustment of antenna arrays simplifies design of their feeding networks and maximizes energy efficiency. However, optimization-based synthesis of the corresponding beam patterns leads to nonconvex problems. Various techniques for solving these problems have been considered. In this paper, we present an approach based on sequential quadratic programming. We focus on phase-only design of pencil beams with the sidelobes optimum in minimax sense. In this context, we consider beampatterns without and with null regions, having specified coefficients' magnitudes and arbitrary, even-symmetric, or odd-symmetric phases.

Accurate localization and scene reconstruction are essential for the autonomous navigation of mobile agents. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms address both challenges by formulating a unified optimization problem, offering an integrated solution to both objectives. Recent advances in learning-based scene understanding have significantly improved accuracy and robustness, particularly in adverse scenarios that are troublesome for traditional geometric methods. However, generating an accurate dense scene reconstruction remains an open challenge, largely due to the complexity of the optimization problem, making it unsuitable for real-time requirements on resource-constrained devices. Novel advances in 3D reconstruction such as implicit representations and Gaussian Splatting present an enticing formulation enabling offline reconstruction of large-scale scenes. While these approaches have been successfully adapted for online incremental reconstruction, particularly through Gaussian Splatting SLAM methods, they are hindered by significant computational complexity and convergence challenges due to the non-convex nature of photometric optimization. In this work we rethink this approach by combining the strengths of traditional feature-based methods with innovative reconstruction capability of Gaussian splatting. Specifically, we integrate feature-based pose estimation, relocalization and loop closure with 3D Gaussian-based scene reconstruction. This results in state-of-the-art tracking and mapping performance on the EuRoC and TUM datasets, while significantly reducing convergence iterations and improvina real-time performance.

Urbanization is accelerating rapidly, highlighting the critical role of aligning with sustainable development goals, urban green and blue spaces (UGS and UBS). These spaces play a crucial role in enhancing the health and well-being of city residents in terms of ecology. Acknowledging the importance of urban ecology, this study utilizes Sentinel-2A data and support vector machine classification, aimed to identify UGS and UBS. To examine the connections between UGS and UBS, specific indices, spectral bands, and textures were calculated. Additionally, the concentration of chlorophyll, a vital indicator of ecological health, was assessed using three indices. Structural equation modeling was employed to elucidate the relationship between UGS and UBS and their impact on chlorophyll concentration for the years 2017 and 2023. In the 2017 model, UGS exhibited a positive path coefficient (0.25) with chlorophyll-a, indicating that an increase in UGS is associated with an increase in chlorophyll levels. Conversely, in 2023, the path coefficient turned negative (− 0.83), presenting a stark contrast to the 2017 model. This shift suggests potential environmental or urban development changes, such as alterations in the quality or type of urban green spaces, potentially including more non-native or ornamental plants that contribute less to overall chlorophyll levels. UGS can be subjected to pollution, soil compaction, and other stressors that reduce plant health. Similarly, the UBS showed an increase in its path coefficient from − 0.99 in 2017 to − 1.8 in 2023, suggesting improvements such as cleaner water or urban planning strategies aimed at reducing water pollution. The consistent negative relationship across both years suggests that urban water bodies are not contributing to Chl levels due to complex interactions of water bodies with their urban surroundings. However, further research is essential to delve into these dynamics and comprehend the implications for urban ecological

This paper describes the development of an Open-Source Generative AI Chatbot, utilizing free Large Language Models (LLM) to enrich the student learning experience for a university course in “Introduction to Programming”. The article aims to provide a step-by-step guide for selecting, fine-tuning, and evaluating available models. As a first step in choosing the appropriate LLM, which provides the most accurate responses while not requiring excessive computing power, the article will cover a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of local vs. cloud-available models. After selecting a few promising models, the next stage includes fine-tuning LLMs to answer domain-specific questions using a dataset containing essential rules, guidelines, and explanatory content regarding the subject. The crucial aspect of selecting a model was evaluating answers, and in this context, both human and automatic evaluation techniques will be presented. Finally, it is possible to enhance the model performance and accuracy by incorporating Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques and exploring the influence of various factors, such as different vector databases, model temperatures, maximum token lengths, prompt templates, embeddings, repetition penalties, and chunking sizes. Our results show that chatbots have significant potential to improve academic support and learning efficiency, as well as personalized education in general.
