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...

The efficient Kalman filter has been widely used in recent decades to obtain air navigation information in UAVs. However, for a good performance of the Kalman filter, the model that describes the system dynamics must not contain uncertainties. This paper presents the implementation of a robust Kalman filter to estimate the attitude, velocity, and position of UAVs. The robust filter considers uncertainties in the sensor models. A mathematical structure based on the solution of linear systems synthesizes the predictor-corrector robust estimation algorithm. The main contribution of this study is the proposed QR decomposition based on Givens rotation to solve the linear system. The simulated experiments used sensory data collected in Zürich-Switzerland and ground truth referencing attitude, velocity, and position. The offline simulation results express the effectiveness of the robust Kalman filter for this application, with a reduction of up to 18.9% in the estimation error, in relation to the standard Kalman filter. The proposal to use systolic arrays for numerical solutions has shown promise for implementation in parallel processing platforms, such as FPGAs.

Domain data can be shifted in any direction so it will be shared in different distributions to its original domain. This could be a problem since the model was trained with different distributions. It is found that adversarial domain adaptation using domain adversarial neural networks (DANN) can help to solve this problem on some scale. DANN can minimize the discrepancy between source and target data so the model can work well in both domains. The experiment is done by utilizing MNIST dataset that shifted into some conditions. In a condition when the shifting of distribution is too far, DANN is struggling to maintain the knowledge extracted from source data which leads to underperformance in the source and target domain. In contrast, when the shifting is closer, DANN can easily fit the model so it can perform well in both domains. It proves DANN is one of the good approaches to performing domain adaptation in small discrepancies.

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become the go-to method for medical imaging classification on various imaging modalities for binary and multiclass problems. Deep CNNs extract spatial features from image data hierarchically, with deeper layers learning more relevant features for the classification application. Despite the high predictive accuracy, usability lags in practical applications due to the black-box model perception. Model explainability and interpretability are essential for successfully integrating artificial intelligence into healthcare practice. This work addresses the challenge of an explainable deep learning model for the prediction of the severity of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AD diagnosis and prognosis heavily rely on neuroimaging information, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present a deep learning model framework that integrates a local data-driven interpretation method that explains the relationship between the predicted AD severity from the CNN and the input MR brain image. The deep explainer uses SHapley Additive exPlanation values to quantity the contribution of different brain regions utilized by the CNN to predict outcomes. We conduct a comparative analysis of three high-performing CNN models: DenseNet121, DenseNet169, and Inception-ResNet-v2. The framework shows high sensitivity and specificity in the test sample of subjects with varying levels of AD severity. We also correlated five key AD neurocognitive assessment outcome measures and the APOE genotype biomarker with model misclassifications to facilitate a better understanding of model performance.

Carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNFET) performance is primarily influenced by a variety of characteristics, such as nanotube diameter, operating voltage, pitch, the number of tubes, dielectric constant, and contact materials. In this study, the dielectric constant and the number of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were emphasized to analyze the propagation delay and average power dissipation of basic logic gates. Zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2 ), hafnium oxide (HfO 2 ), and silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) were used as dielectric materials. In this experiment, the Stanford CNFET model was utilized, and variable factors such as the number of CNTs and the dielectric constant $(K_{ox})$ accumulated on the nanotube gate's surface were diversified. The correlation coefficients of the delay, the average power, and the CNT numbers were also presented. Furthermore, the multi-objective genetic algorithm and the Rmethod were utilized to find the optimal K ox and the number of CNTs for minimizing the average dissipation power and the propagation delay of some logic gates designed with CNFET. For all the gates considered, the optimal number of CNTs is 4 while the dielectric constant is within the ranges of 19 to 24.

A strategy that combines experiment and simulation to design and optimize electromagnetic (EM) metamaterial absorbers containing a periodic porous structure is described. The approach provides the ability to produce absorbers that meet multiple user-specified objectives. Using the measured intrinsic properties of the baseline materials as an input to EM-field based computational modelling and optimization, absorption by the studied metamaterials measured by their reflection loss (RL) increases significantly. The resulting metamaterials have the potential for lower cost and lighter weight while providing greater protection than traditional metal gaskets and foams.

The complexity of current Deep learning has been growing rapidly nowadays. Such advancement allows various organizations such as private sectors and government to leverage intelligent systems on their use cases. High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure nowadays has pivoted to GPU-oriented systems, enabling developers and researchers to train complex models with large datasets unlike conventional clusters equipped only with CPU cores. However, focus on power efficiency on the HPC system has not been prevalent especially on the new system such as DGX A100 that does not have datapoints on how GPUs consumed power. Even though such HPC cluster can be powerful, always allowing it to run at the maximum capacity results to financial cost to the HPC provider at the end. Therefore, for any organization providing the system, it is crucial for them to balance the cluster capabilities while maintaining overall power consumption which can potentially be costly in the long term. This paper reveals A100 GPU metrics that are relevant to Power usage and explains GPU profiling applied to Deep learning workload on the cluster, saving up to 32% of the power usage while compromising only 11.5% of training time compared to a default profile. Then, the paper investigates literature review that could be learned further adopted to the current system at CMKL university as the next milestone.
