Who do I know with #arcgis
I did a Freedom of Information request for some data on rights of way and the data sent back appears to be formatted using British National Grid and fooling the online conversion tools.
If I can get the linked results into a GeoJSON format, using lat/lon, I can take it from there!

Data of all of the Maintained Unsurfaced Roads in Norfolk - a Freedom of Information request to Norfolk County Council
I would like an electronic copy of the following rights of way across the Norfolk County: 1. Maintained unsurfaced roads 2. Byways Open to All Traffic I would be happy to receive these in most open formats; GeoJSON, KML, or GPX would be especially helpful. Please ensure that any included rights of way are not subject to a current Traffic Regulation Order, or include a copy of the Traffic Regulation Order documents that are applicable. Yours faithfully, Rachel Lawson

Immune Response to Respiratory Viral Infections
The respiratory system is constantly exposed to viral infections that are responsible for mild to severe diseases. In this narrative review, we focalized the attention on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza virus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, responsible for high morbidity and mortality in the last decades. We reviewed the human innate and adaptive immune responses in the airways following infection, focusing on a particular population: n…

Optimal sensing policy with interference-model uncertainty
Assume that an interferer behaves according to a parametric model but one does not know the value of the model parameters. Sensing enables to improve the model knowledge and therefore perform a better link adaptation. However, we consider a half-duplex scenario where, at each time slot, the communication system should decide between sensing and communication. We thus propose to investigate the optimal policy to maximize the expected sum rate given a finite-time communication. % the following qu…

SoundCTM: Uniting Score-based and Consistency Models for Text-to-Sound Generation
Sound content is an indispensable element for multimedia works such as video games, music, and films. Recent high-quality diffusion-based sound generation models can serve as valuable tools for the creators. However, despite producing high-quality sounds, these models often suffer from slow inference speeds. This drawback burdens creators, who typically refine their sounds through trial and error to align them with their artistic intentions. To address this issue, we introduce Sound Consistency…
