Strategies to Manage Human Factors in Mixed Reality Pilot Training: A Survey
Mixed Reality (MR) head mounted displays (HMDs) offer a promising alternative to traditional Flight Simulator Training Device (FSTD) displays, providing immersion, realism and cost efficiency. However, these technologies require management of human factors; cybersickness, visual fatigue and ergonomic strain. If left unmitigated, these effects can hinder pilot performance and training outcomes. For safety critical fields like aviation, addressing human factors challenges is crucial for MR's trai…

WALLABY Pilot Survey: A gas-rich diffuse dwarf on the baryonic Tully Fisher relation
Diffuse dwarf galaxies, and particularly ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs), challenge our understanding of galaxy formation and the role of dark matter due to their large sizes, low surface brightness, and varying dark matter content. In this work, we investigate the gas-rich diffuse dwarf galaxy WALLABY J125956-192430 (aka. KK176) using high-resolution HI data from the WALLABY survey. We produce the most reliable kinematic model for KK176 to date. Using this model, the derived mass decomposition s…

Bayesian Learning for Pilot Decontamination in Cell-Free Massive MIMO
Pilot contamination (PC) arises when the pilot sequences assigned to user equipments (UEs) are not mutually orthogonal, eventually due to their reuse. In this work, we propose a novel expectation propagation (EP)-based joint channel estimation and data detection (JCD) algorithm specifically designed to mitigate the effects of PC in the uplink of cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (CF-MaMIMO) systems. This modified bilinear-EP algorithm is distributed, scalable, demonstrates strong…

The development of custom, task-tailored robots is hindered by long, cost-intensive development cycles and the high cost of customized hardware. Recently, various computational design…

Assessing the Prevalence of AI-assisted Cheating in Programming Courses: A Pilot Study
Tools that can generate computer code in response to inputs written in natural language, such as ChatGPT, pose an existential threat to Computer Science education in its current form, since students can now use these tools to solve assignments without much effort. While that risk has already been recognized by scholars, the proportion of the student body that is incurring in this new kind of plagiarism is still an open problem. We conducted a pilot study in a large CS class (n=120) to assess th…

Hybrid Quantum Convolutional Neural Network-Aided Pilot Assignment in Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems
A sophisticated hybrid quantum convolutional neural network (HQCNN) is conceived for handling the pilot assignment task in cell-free massive MIMO systems, while maximizing the total ergodic sum throughput. The existing model-based solutions found in the literature are inefficient and/or computationally demanding. Similarly, conventional deep neural networks may struggle in the face of high-dimensional inputs, require complex architectures, and their convergence is slow due to training numerous …

Distributed Deep Learning with RIS Grouping for Accurate Cascaded Channel Estimation
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) panels are envisioned as a key technology for sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks, providing a cost-effective means to enhance coverage and spectral efficiency. A critical challenge is the estimation of the cascaded base station (BS)-RIS-user channel, since the passive nature of RIS elements prevents direct channel acquisition, incurring prohibitive pilot overhead, computational complexity, and energy consumption. To address this, we propose a deep l…

A jet carrying the European Commission president to Plovdiv, in Bulgaria, on Sunday had its GPS navigation services disabled, a spokesman for the commission told The Telegraph.
The plane was forced to circle the airport for an hour before the pilot landed using analogue maps in what officials said was “undeniable interference”.

Designing the Hybrid Cooperative: A Socio-Technical Architecture for Scalable, Global Coordination Using Blockchain
Blockchain has been promoted as a remedy for coordination in fragmented, multi-stakeholder ecosystems, yet many projects stall at pilot stage. Using a design-science approach, we develop the Hybrid Cooperative (HC), a digitally native governance architecture that combines smart-contract coordination with a minimal, code-deferent legal interface and jurisdictional modules. This selective decentralization decentralizes rules where programmability lowers agency and verification costs, and centrali…

Differential Communication in Channels with Mobility and Delay Spread using Zak-OTFS

Differential Communication in Channels with Mobility and Delay Spread using Zak-OTFS
Zak-transform based orthogonal time frequency space (Zak-OTFS) is a delay-Doppler (DD) domain modulation scheme in which the signal processing is carried out in the DD domain. The channel when viewed in the DD domain is predictable. However, even with Zak-OTFS, pilots need to be sent periodically, albeit at a lower rate. In this paper, we propose a differential communication scheme for Zak-OTFS systems that alleviates the need for periodic pilot transmission. Towards this, we analytically show …

Prompt Commons: Collective Prompting as Governance for Urban AI
Large Language Models (LLMs) are entering urban governance, yet their outputs are highly sensitive to prompts that carry value judgments. We propose Prompt Commons - a versioned, community-maintained repository of prompts with governance metadata, licensing, and moderation - to steer model behaviour toward pluralism. Using a Montreal dataset (443 human prompts; 3,317 after augmentation), we pilot three governance states (open, curated, veto-enabled). On a contested policy benchmark, a single-au…

A Deep Learning Framework for Joint Channel Acquisition and Communication Optimization in Movable Antenna Systems
This paper presents an end-to-end deep learning framework in a movable antenna (MA)-enabled multiuser communication system. In contrast to the conventional works assuming perfect channel state information (CSI), we address the practical CSI acquisition issue through the design of pilot signals and quantized CSI feedback, and further incorporate the joint optimization of channel estimation, MA placement, and precoding design. The proposed mechanism enables the system to learn an optimized transm…

Pilot Study on Generative AI and Critical Thinking in Higher Education Classrooms
Generative AI (GAI) tools have seen rapid adoption in educational settings, yet their role in fostering critical thinking remains underexplored. While previous studies have examined GAI as a tutor for specific lessons or as a tool for completing assignments, few have addressed how students critically evaluate the accuracy and appropriateness of GAI-generated responses. This pilot study investigates students' ability to apply structured critical thinking when assessing Generative AI outputs in i…
