Abstract. With this contribution, we describe and publish two high-quality street-level datasets, captured with a portable high-performance Mobile Mapping System (MMS). The datasets will be freely available for scientific use. Both datasets, from a city centre and a forest represent area-wide street-level reality captures which can be used e.g. for establishing cloud-based frameworks for infrastructure management as well as for smart city and forestry applications. The quality of these data sets has been thoroughly evaluated and demonstrated. For example, georeferencing accuracies in the centimetre range using these datasets in combination with image-based georeferencing have been achieved. Both high-quality multi sensor system street-level datasets are suitable for evaluating and improving methods for multiple tasks related to high-precision 3D reality capture and the creation of digital twins. Potential applications range from localization and georeferencing, dense image matching and 3D reconstruction to combined methods such as simultaneous localization and mapping and structure-from-motion as well as classification and scene interpretation. Our dataset is available online at: https://www.fhnw.ch/habg/bimage-datasets

The existence of a touch of technology on laboratory learning becomes another alternative as a supporter of laboratory learning. Different practitioner's wishes and intensity of relatively short laboratory practice which resulted in dissatisfaction in the implementation of a practicum. Thus, an intelligent learning alternative is needed. This intelligent learning aims to provide high-quality and high-performance training skills that can assist the practitioner in solving problems related to practicum materials. The intelligent learning system is a learning system that handles some student instruction without any intervention from a teacher.Alternative learning system that can support the creation of Intelligent Learning System is by Natural Language Processing (NLP) method. This final project provides an explanation of the creation and implementation of intelligent learning systems in the Object Oriented Programming Computer Laboratory. This system consists of several stages: parsing, similarity, stemming, Knowledge Base which is designed in an interactive form between praktikan and agent based dialoge based application. The success rate of this system in answering questions from praktikan session II is 88.75%.

There are the great problems of the concrete for high voltage the transmission lines obtaining. One of them is the creation of reinforced concrete centrifugally spun transmission towers with enhanced reliability and durability for high-voltage transmission lines having voltage of 110-750 kV. The second problem is the creation of high-quality reinforced concrete foundations to fix overhead electric line lattice towers in the ground because more than 50% of operated reinforced concrete towers and foundations are in need of repair or were put into repair. A complex high-performance organic mineral admixture for tower bodies of high-voltage transmission lines is developed. The main components of the admixture are polycarboxylate polymere and silica sol. It insures increased compressive strength and tensile strength in bending, freeze resistance, waterproofing and corrosive resistance. The obtained positive results allow to reduce a compression zone width and a crack growth width. The paper can be useful for not only the transport construction but and for concrete obtaining with special properties at any fields.

This investigation examined how Own the Podium (OTP) has contributed to the ongoing development of highperformance sport in Canada. In adopting an institutional work perspective, we contend that OTP’s continuance has not been the sole product of Canada’s success at the Olympic and Paralympic Games or lobbying efforts to secure additional funding. Rather, OTP’s permanence can also be explained as the by-product of the activities and actions of OTP itself and its supporting stakeholders to embed and institutionalize both the organization specifically and high-performance sport more generally in the Canadian sport landscape. In short, OTP’s continued existence can, in part, be explained by ongoing institutional work. To support our contentions, we draw on and analyze documentation that was either produced by, or significant to the development of, OTP. Our analysis identifies a number of OTP-related practices (e.g., tiering, hiring of high-performance advisors, and the creation and support of new high-performance sport programs) that have further institutionalized OTP and the norms, routines, and practices associated with high-performance sport. More broadly, our investigation draws attention to the importance of individual and collective actors in shaping institutional settings in sport.

As time progresses and technology improves, biological data sets are continuously increasing in size. New methods and new implementations of existing methods are needed to keep pace with this increase. In this paper, we present a high-performance computing (HPC)-capable implementation of Iterative Random Forest (iRF). This new implementation enables the explainable-AI eQTL analysis of SNP sets with over a million SNPs. Using this implementation, we also present a new method, iRF Leave One Out Prediction (iRF-LOOP), for the creation of Predictive Expression Networks on the order of 40,000 genes or more. We compare the new implementation of iRF with the previous R version and analyze its time to completion on two of the world’s fastest supercomputers, Summit and Titan. We also show iRF-LOOP’s ability to capture biologically significant results when creating Predictive Expression Networks. This new implementation of iRF will enable the analysis of biological data sets at scales that were previously not possible.

Purpose Computer simulations improve the knowledge of physical models and are widely used in teaching and research. Key aspects are to understand their solutions and to make interactive changes to the models, observing their effects in real-time. The drawback of creating interactive simulations of physical models is the high level of programming expertise required. The purpose of this study is to facilitate this task. Design/methodology/approach Java is the perfect language for this task; it yields high-quality graphics and is widely spread in the scientific community. Because many important physical models are described by means of partial differential equations (PDEs), the combination of Java with FreeFem++, a C++ PDE solver based on the finite element method, is considered. Findings In this study, a Java library is introduced to numerically solve PDE equations via a run-time connection with FreeFem++. The solution is encapsulated into Java objects that are ready to be used in different programming tasks. The library also includes new Java visualization elements for solutions and meshes in the context of the Open Source Physics project library. Together, the connection features and the visualization elements facilitate the creation of Java simulations by programming researchers. For those with less programming capabilities, this work has been included into Easy Java Simulations, a tool to further ease the creation of interactive simulations. Originality/value The present study approach allows simulating models given PDEs. The equations are solved either in local or in remote mode (e.g. by a network accessible to a high-performance computer) and visualized locally, providing a high degree of interactivity to the end user.

While lithium–oxygen batteries (LOBs) have the potential to offer energy density far greater than those of existing batteries, their commercialization hinges on the creation of highly reversible and efficient oxygen electrodes.
