Fifty years of geophysical researches of glaciers in Institute of Geography, the Russian Academy of Sciences, 1966–2016 by V. M. Kotlyakov, Yu. Ya. Macheret

“…Basic results of these studies are the following: (1) the new data on the ice thicknesses, ice volumes, subglacial relief, internal structure, and thermal state of the glaciers were obtained; (2) the two‑layered (polythermal) glaciers consisting of the upper layer of cold ice and the lower layer of temperate water‑filled ice had been revealed in Svalbard for the first time; spatial distribution of cold, polythermal and temperate glaciers had been determined; (3) the evidences were obtained that measured changes in thickness of the upper cold ice layer in polythermal glaciers can be used to estimate the long‑period variations of regional climates and serve as regional paleothermometers; (4) methods for estimating the water content in temperate and polythermal glaciers from the RES data were developed; and its space‑time variations in temperate ices of the Svaldbald glaciers were estimated since even small water content inside of them can noticeably change their dynamic behavior; (5) methods for estimating the ice volume within glaciers in large regions of mountain and polar glaciations had been created; the ice storages were estimated in Svalbard, Franz Josef Land, Dzhungrsky Alatau, the Great Caucasus, and Mt. …”

Two-Timescale Cross-Layer Design for URLLC Over Parallel Fading Channels With Imperfect CSI by Hongsen Peng, Meixia Tao

“…In the large timescale, the pilot length and pilot power are optimized while in the small timescale, the data transmit power and decoding error probability are optimized according to the estimated channel coefficients and queueing information. As a starting step in our small timescale solution, we train a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agent employing the Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) algorithm to allocate the data transmit power on each sub-channel and determine the decoding error probability to satisfy the URLLC constraints in an ideal environment with perfect instantaneous CSI. …”

Acoustic resonant imaging technique for characterization ofphotoresist properties depending on hard bake temperature by Hyelin Kim, Hironori Tohmyoh

“…This technique is based on acoustic resonance, where sound passing through a thin layer reaches extreme values in its transmission and reflection coefficients at a resonant frequency. With plotting these acoustic properties in two-dimensional, in the case of photoresists, this method allows for the identification of regions with distinct properties, facilitating optimal alignment for mask positioning and direction. …”
