Vor UNO-Ozeankonferenz - Studie: Unter Hawaiis Stränden verbirgt sich Plastikmüll im Verborgenen
An den Stränden von Hawaii befindet sich offenbar ein Großteil von Plastikmüll im Verborgenen. Darauf deutet eine Studie des französischen Meeresforschungsinstituts Ifremer, der Hawaii Pacific University und der Umweltorganisation The Ocean Cleanup hin.

Droughts are a ‘slow-moving global catastrophe,’ report finds
“Drought is a silent killer. It creeps in, drains resources and devastates lives in slow motion,” said Ibrahim Thiaw, executive secretary of the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification. “Its scars run deep.” A comprehensive new report released this week documents what experts call some of the most widespread and damaging droughts in recorded history, affecting […]

Data Driven Insights into Composition Property Relationships in FCC High Entropy Alloys
Structural High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) are crucial in advancing technology across various sectors, including aerospace, automotive, and defense industries. However, the scarcity of integrated chemistry, process, structure, and property data presents significant challenges for predictive property modeling. Given the vast design space of these alloys, uncovering the underlying patterns is essential yet difficult, requiring advanced methods capable of learning from limited and heterogeneous dataset…

Conformer-based Ultrasound-to-Speech Conversion
Deep neural networks have shown promising potential for ultrasound-to-speech conversion task towards Silent Speech Interfaces. In this work, we applied two Conformer-based DNN architectures (Base and one with bi-LSTM) for this task. Speaker-specific models were trained on the data of four speakers from the Ultrasuite-Tal80 dataset, while the generated mel spectrograms were synthesized to audio waveform using a HiFi-GAN vocoder. Compared to a standard 2D-CNN baseline, objective measurements (MSE…

Connectivity Management in Satellite-Aided Vehicular Networks with Multi-Head Attention-Based State Estimation
Managing connectivity in integrated satellite-terrestrial vehicular networks is critical for 6G, yet is challenged by dynamic conditions and partial observability. This letter introduces the Multi-Agent Actor-Critic with Satellite-Aided Multi-head self-attention (MAAC-SAM), a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning framework that enables vehicles to autonomously manage connectivity across Vehicle-to-Satellite (V2S), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) links. Our key i…
