Field calibration and analysis of a low-cost sensor network based on the existing air quality infrastructure of a city
Low-cost particulate matter sensors (LCS) are an important source of air quality data, improving the spatial and temporal resolution of data gathered by sparsely placed official monitoring stations. Their readings, however, are subject to bias due to unaccounted for effects pertaining to both the physical properties of the aerosol particles and design limitations of the devices. A calibration model is paramount in order to valorize the output of LCS devices. In this paper, a calibration model…

Attention-Aware Laparoscopic Image Desmoking Network with Lightness Embedding and Hybrid Guided Embedding
This paper presents a novel method of smoke removal from the laparoscopic images. Due to the heterogeneous nature of surgical smoke, a two-stage network is proposed to estimate the smoke distribution and reconstruct a clear, smoke-free surgical scene. The utilization of the lightness channel plays a pivotal role in providing vital information pertaining to smoke density. The reconstruction of smoke-free image is guided by a hybrid embedding, which combines the estimated smoke mask with the init…

On the homotopy links of stratified cell complexes
Homotopy links haven proven to be one of the most powerful tools of stratified homotopy theory. In previous work, we described combinatorial models for the generalized homotopy links of a stratified simplicial set. For many purposes, in particular to investigate the stratified homotopy hypothesis, a more general version of this result pertaining to stratified cell complexes is needed. Here we prove that, given a stratified cell complex $X$, the generalized homotopy links can be computed in term…

But as usual, sometimes coaches say a lot without really saying much of value. However, after navigating through his answers, I've found three tangible lessons we can take away from the Cowboys head coach's comments. Let's d…

Extreme wave skewing and dispersion spectra of anisotropic elastic plates
Guided wave dispersion is commonly assessed by Fourier analysis of the field along a line, resulting in frequency-wavenumber dispersion curves. In anisotropic plates, a point source can generate multiple dispersion branches pertaining to the same modal surface, which arise due to the angle between the power flux and the wave vector. We show that this phenomenon is particularly pronounced near zero-group-velocity points, entailing up to six contributions along a given direction. Stationary phase…

Uncertainty relation and the constrained quadratic programming
The uncertainty relation is a fundamental concept in quantum theory, plays a pivotal role in various quantum information processing tasks. In this study, we explore the additive uncertainty relation pertaining to two or more observables, in terms of their variance,by utilizing the generalized Gell-Mann representation in qudit systems. We find that the tight state-independent lower bound of the variance sum can be characterized as a quadratic programming problem with nonlinear constraints in opt…

This article provides a thorough investigation into Gilbert's Conjecture, pertaining to Hardy spaces in the upper half-space valued in Clifford modules. We explore the conjecture proposed by Gilbert in 1991, which seeks to extend the classical principle of representing real $L^p$ functions on the real line as boundary values of Hardy holomorphic functions to higher-dimensional Euclidean spaces valued in any Clifford module. We present a complete resolution to this conjecture, demonstrating that…

Energy-consistent integration of mechanical systems based on Livens principle
In this work we make use of Livens principle (sometimes also referred to as Hamilton-Pontryagin principle) in order to obtain a novel structure-preserving integrator for mechanical systems. In contrast to the canonical Hamiltonian equations of motion, the Euler-Lagrange equations pertaining to Livens principle circumvent the need to invert the mass matrix. This is an essential advantage with respect to singular mass matrices, which can yield severe difficulties for the modelling and simulation …

Abstract: Data protection and privacy is becoming increasingly crucial in the digital era. Numerous companies depend on third-party vendors and service providers to carry out critical functions within their operations, encompassing tasks such as data handling and storage. However, this reliance introduces potential vulnerabilities, as these vendors' security measures and practices may not always align with the standards expected by regulatory bodies. Businesses are required, often under the penalty of law, to ensure compliance with the evolving regulatory rules. Interpreting and implementing these regulations pose challenges due to their complexity. Regulatory documents are extensive, demanding significant effort for interpretation, while vendor-drafted privacy policies often lack the detail required for full legal compliance, leading to ambiguity. To ensure a concise interpretation of the regulatory requirements and compliance of organizational privacy policy with said regulations, we propose a Large Language Model (LLM) and Semantic Web based approach for privacy compliance. In this paper, we develop the novel Privacy Policy Compliance Verification Knowledge Graph, PrivComp-KG. It is designed to efficiently store and retrieve comprehensive information concerning privacy policies, regulatory frameworks, and domain-specific knowledge pertaining to the legal landscape of privacy. Using Retrieval Augmented Generation, we identify the relevant sections in a privacy policy with corresponding regulatory rules. This information about individual privacy policies is populated into the PrivComp-KG. Combining this with the domain context and rules, the PrivComp-KG can be queried to check for compliance with privacy policies by each vendor against relevant policy regulations. We demonstrate the relevance of the PrivComp-KG, by verifying compliance of privacy policy documents for various organizations.

Results pertaining to metallic and dielectric structures illustrate the efficacy of structural optimization and the imp…

For all these three forms of $f(T)$, we have derived the corresponding cosmological parame…

Weak convergence of probability measures on hyperspaces with the upper Fell-topology
Let E be a locally compact second countable Hausdorff space and F the pertaining family of all closed sets. We endow F respectively with the Fell-topology, the upper Fell topology or the upper Vietoris-topology and investigate weak convergence of probability measures on the corresponding hyperspaces with a focus on the upper Fell topology. The results can be transferred to distributional convergence of random closed sets in E with applications to the asymptotic behavior of measurable selection.
