A New Enhanced Method of Non Parametric power spectrum Estimation.CSCJournals
The spectral analysis of non uniform sampled data sequences using Fourier Periodogram method is the classical approach. In view of data fitting and computational standpoints why the Least squares periodogram(LSP) method is preferable than the “classical” Fourier periodogram and as well as to the frequently-used form of LSP due to Lomb and Scargle is explained. Then a new method of spectral analysis of nonuniform data sequences can be interpreted as an iteratively weighted LSP that makes use of a data-dependent weighting matrix built from the most recent spectral estimate. It is iterative and it makes use of an adaptive (i.e., data-dependent) weighting, we refer to it as the iterative adaptive approach (IAA).LSP and IAA are nonparametric methods that can be used for the spectral analysis of general data sequences with both continuous and discrete spectra. However, they are most suitable for data sequences with discrete spectra (i.e., sinusoidal data), which is the case we emphasize in this paper. Of the existing methods for nonuniform sinusoidal data, Welch, MUSIC and ESPRIT methods appear to be the closest in spirit to the IAA proposed here. Indeed, all these methods make use of the estimated covariance matrix that is computed in the first iteration of IAA from LSP. MUSIC and ESPRIT, on the other hand, are parametric methods that require a guess of the number of sinusoidal components present in the data, otherwise they cannot be used; furthermore.
The generalized design principle of TS fuzzy observers for one class of continuous-time
nonlinear MIMO systems is presented in this paper. The problem addressed can be indicated as
a descriptor system approach to TS fuzzy observers design, implying the asymptotic convergence of the state observer error. A new structure of linear matrix inequalities is outlined to possess the observer asymptotic dynamic properties closest to the optimal.

2. Computed propagation of uncertainties in porosity into the mass fraction.
3. Computed the mean, variance, exceedance probabilities, quantiles, risks.
4. Such QoIs as the number of fingers, their size, shape, propagation time can be unstable

In this work, we study H∞ control wind turbine fuzzy model for finite frequency(FF) interval. Less conservative results are obtained by using Finsler’s lemma technique, generalized Kalman Yakubovich Popov (gKYP), linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach and added several separate parameters, these conditions are given in terms of LMI which can be efficiently solved numerically for the problem that such fuzzy systems are admissible with H∞ disturbance attenuation level. The FF H∞ performance approach allows the state feedback command in a specific interval, the simulation example is given to validate our results.

This paper deals with the problem of undesired memory effects in nonlinear digital filters owing to the influence of past excitations on future outputs. The nonlinearities under consideration cover the usual types of overflow arithmetic employed in practice. Based on the Hankel norm performance, a new criterion is proposed to ensure the reduction of undesired memory effects in digital filters with overflow arithmetic. In absence of external input, the nonexistence of overflow oscillations is also confirmed by the proposed criterion. A numerical example together with simulation result showing the effectiveness of the criterion is given.

On a Deterministic Property of the Category of k-almost Primes: A Determinist...Ramin (A.) Zahedi
In this paper based on a sort of linear function, a deterministic and simple algorithm with an algebraic structure is presented for calculating all (and only) k-almost primes (where ∃n∊ℕ, 1 ≤ k ≤ n) in certain intervals. A theorem has been proven showing a new deterministic property of the category of k-almost primes. Through a linear function that we obtain, an equivalent redefinition of the k-almost primes with an algebraic characteristic is identified. Moreover, as an outcome of our function’s property some equalities which contain new information about the k-almost primes (including primes) are presented.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach.

Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

3. Background
Optimization problem
To find the state (best solution) where the real-valued cost
function is minimized.
If the size of problem is small, we can easily obtain the best solution
by brute-force calculation.
However...
if the size of problem is large, we cannot obtain the best solution by
brute-force calculation in practice.
We should develop methods to obtain the best solution (at least,
better solution) efficiently.
4. Background
Cost function of most optimization problems can be represented by
Hamiltonian of classical discrete spin systems.
We can use the knowledge of statistical physics.
To find the state where the
cost function is minimized.
To find the ground state of
the Hamiltonian.
Simulated annealing (SA)
By decreasing the temperature (thermal fluctuation) gradually,
the ground state of the Hamiltonian is obtained.
S. Kirkpatrick, C. D. Gelatte, and M. P. Vecchi, Science, 220, 671 (1983).
SA can be adopted to both stochastic methods such as Monte Carlo
method and deterministic method.
5. Background
Quantum annealing (QA)
By decreasing the quantum fluctuation gradually, the ground
state of the Hamiltonian is obtained.
