The bulk loss function Im(-l/ε (ω)), a well established tool for the interpretation of valence loss spectra, is being progressively adapted to the wide variety of inhomogeneous samples of interest to the electron microscopist. Proportionality between n, the local valence electron density, and ε-1 (Sellmeyer's equation) has sometimes been assumed but may not be valid even in homogeneous samples. Figs. 1 and 2 show the experimentally measured bulk loss functions for three pure silicates of different specific gravity ρ - quartz (ρ = 2.66), coesite (ρ = 2.93) and a zeolite (ρ = 1.79). Clearly, despite the substantial differences in density, the shift of the prominent loss peak is very small and far less than that predicted by scaling e for quartz with Sellmeyer's equation or even the somewhat smaller shift given by the Clausius-Mossotti (CM) relation which assumes proportionality between n (or ρ in this case) and (ε - 1)/(ε + 2). Both theories overestimate the rise in the peak height for coesite and underestimate the increase at high energies.

Using the TensorFlow Object Detection API, an approach to identifying and registering Baikal diatom species Synedra acus subsp. radians has been tested. As a result, a set of images was formed and training was conducted. It is shown that аfter 15000 training iterations, the total value of the loss function was obtained equal to 0,04. At the same time, the classification accuracy is equal to 95%, and the accuracy of construction of the bounding box is also equal to 95%.

State estimation (SE) is a primary data processing algorithm which is utilised by the control centres of advanced power systems. The most generally utilised state estimator is based on the weighted least squares (WLS) approach which is ineffective in addressing gross errors of input data of state estimator. This paper presents an innovative robust estimator for SE environments to overcome the non-robustness of the WLS estimator. The suggested approach not only includes the similar functioning of the customary loss function of WLS but also reflects loss function built on the modified WLS (MWLS) estimator. The performance of the proposed estimator was assessed based on its ability to decrease the impacts of gross errors on the estimation results. The properties of the suggested state estimator were investigated and robustness of the estimator was studied considering the influence function. The effectiveness of the proposed estimator was demonstrated with the help of examples which also indicated non-robustness of MWLS estimator in SE algorithm.

Radar beam blockage is an important error source that affects the quality of weather radar data. An echo-filling network (EFnet) is proposed based on a deep learning algorithm to correct the echo intensity under the occlusion area in the Nanjing S-band new-generation weather radar (CINRAD/SA). The training dataset is constructed by the labels, which are the echo intensity at the 0.5° elevation in the unblocked area, and by the input features, which are the intensity in the cube including multiple elevations and gates corresponding to the location of bottom labels. Two loss functions are applied to compile the network: one is the common mean square error (MSE), and the other is a self-defined loss function that increases the weight of strong echoes. Considering that the radar beam broadens with distance and height, the 0.5° elevation scan is divided into six range bands every 25 km to train different models. The models are evaluated by three indicators: explained variance (EVar), mean absolute error (MAE), and correlation coefficient (CC). Two cases are demonstrated to compare the effect of the echo-filling model by different loss functions. The results suggest that EFnet can effectively correct the echo reflectivity and improve the data quality in the occlusion area, and there are better results for strong echoes when the self-defined loss function is used.
