Introducing Combined Effects of Filtering and ASE Noise in Optical Links Supposing Different Equalization Algorithms
This paper presents a comprehensive analytical framework for evaluating filtering penalties in ASE-noise-limited coherent optical links. The model accounts for the cumulative effects of cascaded optical filters, amplifier-induced ASE noise, and transceiver noise, alongside digital equalization at the receiver. By developing a...
AGCo-MATA: Air-Ground Collaborative Multi-Agent Task Allocation in Mobile Crowdsensing
Rapid progress in intelligent unmanned systems has presented new opportunities for mobile crowd sensing (MCS). Today, heterogeneous air-ground collaborative multi-agent framework, which comprise unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), have presented superior flexibility and efficiency compared to traditional homogeneous...
Boundary observation and control for fractional heat and wave equations
We establish boundary observability and control for the fractional heat equation over arbitrary time horizons $T > 0$, within the optimal range of fractional exponents $s \in (1/2, 1)$. Our approach introduces a novel synthesis of techniques from fractional partial differential equations...
How Do Communities of ML-Enabled Systems Smell? A Cross-Sectional Study on the Prevalence of Community Smells
Effective software development relies on managing both collaboration and technology, but sociotechnical challenges can harm team dynamics and increase technical debt. Although teams working on ML enabled systems are interdisciplinary, research has largely focused on technical issues, leaving their socio-technical dynamics underexplored....
HydroStartML: A combined machine learning and physics-based approach to reduce hydrological model spin-up time
Finding the initial depth-to-water table (DTWT) configuration of a catchment is a critical challenge when simulating the hydrological cycle with integrated models, significantly impacting simulation outcomes. Traditionally, this involves iterative spin-up computations, where the model runs under constant atmospheric settings until steady-state...
Exact solutions for the moments of the binary collision integral and its relation to the relaxation-time approximation in leading-order anisotropic fluid dynamics
We compute the moments of the nonlinear binary collision integral in the ultrarelativistic hard-sphere approximation for an arbitrary anisotropic distribution function in the local rest frame. This anisotropic distribution function has an angular asymmetry controlled by the parameter of anisotropy $\xi$, such...
MeerKAT discovers a jet-driven bow shock near GRS 1915+105. How an invisible large-scale jet sculpts a microquasar’s environment
Black holes, both supermassive and stellar-mass, impact the evolution of their surroundings on a large range of scales. While the role of supermassive black holes is well studied, the effects of stellar-mass black holes on their surroundings, particularly in inducing structures in...
Detection and Characterization of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151
This study aims to detect and characterize quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) signals in X-ray observations of NGC 4151. We employed the Weighted Wavelet Z-transform (WWZ) and Lomb-Scargle periodogram (LSP) methods for our analysis. QPO signals with frequencies of 5.91 $\times 10^{-4}$ Hz and...
Storing and Querying Evolving Graphs in NoSQL Storage Models
This paper investigates advanced storage models for evolving graphs, focusing on the efficient management of historical data and the optimization of global query performance. Evolving graphs, which represent dynamic relationships between entities over time, present unique challenges in preserving their complete history...
Predict-Optimize-Distill: A Self-Improving Cycle for 4D Object Understanding
Humans can resort to long-form inspection to build intuition on predicting the 3D configurations of unseen objects. The more we observe the object motion, the better we get at predicting its 3D state immediately. Existing systems either optimize underlying representations from multi-view...
