NOIRE-Net–a convolutional neural network for automatic classification and scaling of high-latitude ionograms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-06-03)Millions of ionograms are acquired annually to monitor the ionosphere. The accumulated data contain untapped information from a range of locations, multiple solar cycles, and various geomagnetic conditions. In this study, we propose the application of deep convolutional neural networks to automatically classify and scale high-latitude ionograms. A supervised approach is implemented and the networks ... -
Dissipation Rates of Mesospheric Stratified Turbulence From Multistatic Meteor-Radar Observations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-06-06)Stratified turbulence (ST) has been proposed as a model for the dynamics of the mesosphere-lower thermosphere (MLT) region. This theory postulates that for horizontal mesoscales (∼1–400 km), the kinetic energy of horizontal winds dissipates from large to small scales with an approximately mean constant rate. In this investigation, dissipation rates are quantified using meteor-radar observations ... -
Plasmonic nano-bowls for monitoring intra-membrane changes in liposomes, and DNA-based nanocarriers in suspension
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-03-12)Programmable nanoscale carriers, such as liposomes and DNA, are readily being explored for personalized medicine or disease prediction and diagnostics. The characterization of these nanocarriers is limited and challenging due to their complex chemical composition. Here, we demonstrate the utilization of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), which provides a unique molecular fingerprint of ... -
Theoretical Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Metal-Metal Quintuple Bonds: Relativity-Driven Reordering of Frontier Orbitals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-01)A recent reinvestigation of the gas-phase photoelectron spectra of Group 6 metal−metal quadruple-bonded complexes with scalar-relativistic DFT calculations showed that common exchange-correlation functionals reproduce the lowest ionization potentials in a semiquantitative manner. The finding encouraged us to undertake a DFT study of metal− metal quintuple bonds in a set of bisamidinato complexes ... -
Application of generalized aurora computed tomography to the EISCAT-3D project
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-29)EISCAT_3D is a project to build a multi-site phased-array incoherent scatter radar system in northern Fenno-Scandinavia. We demonstrate via numerical simulation how useful monochromatic images taken by a multi-point imager network are for auroral research in the EISCAT_3D project. We apply the generalized aurora computed tomography (G-ACT) method to modelled observational data from real instruments, ... -
Influence of meteoric smoke particles on the incoherent scatter measured with EISCAT VHF
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-04)Meteoric ablation in the Earth’s atmosphere produces particles of nanometer size and larger. These particles can become charged and influence the charge balance in the D region (60–90 km) and the incoherent scatter observed with radar from there. Radar studies have shown that, if enough dust particles are charged, they can influence the received radar spectrum below 100 km, provided the electron ... -
The 3-billion fossil question: How to automate classification of microfossils
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-08)Microfossil classification is an important discipline in subsurface exploration, for both oil & gas and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The abundance and distribution of species found in sedimentary rocks provide valuable information about the age and depositional environment. However, the analysis is difficult and time-consuming, as it is based on manual work by human experts. Attempts to automate ... -

Towards ultrafast quantitative phase imaging via differentiable microscopy [Invited]
(Journal article, 2024-02-22)With applications ranging from metabolomics to histopathology, quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) is a powerful label-free imaging modality. Despite significant advances in fast multiplexed imaging sensors and deep-learning-based inverse solvers, the throughput of QPM is currently limited by the pixel-rate of the image sensors. Complementarily, to improve throughput further, here we propose to ... -

In this study, we aim to shed light on the prevalence and distribution of antiphage defense systems in cold-adapted bacteria, with a focus on CRISPR-Cas systems. Using bioinformatics tools, Prokaryotic Antiviral Defense LOCator (PADLOC) and ... -
Revisiting Unsinkable Ships: From Titanic to Helge Ingstad, the Long-Standing Issues and Persistent Risks of Ship Disasters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-03)The objective of this paper is to take a closer look at the theory of damage stability, i.e., origin, construction, organization and human developments, regulations, and in this context pinpoint a possible causal relationship between two specific ship losses: the losses of RMS Titanic and KNM Helge Ingstad. The paper does not discuss direct causes but rather tries to discuss possible causal links ... -
Simulations of the collection of mesospheric dust particles with a rocket instrument
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-28)We investigate the collection of dust particles in the mesosphere with the MESS (MEteoric Smoke Sampler) instrument that is designed to fly on a sounding rocket. We assume that the ice particles that form in the polar mesosphere between 80 and 85 km altitude in summer contain meteoric smoke particles; and these should be collected with MESS. The instrument consists of a collection device with an ... -
Deepfake detection using deep feature stacking and meta-learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-15)Deepfake is a type of face manipulation technique using deep learning that allows for the replacement of faces in videos in a very realistic way. While this technology has many practical uses, if used maliciously, it can have a significant number of bad impacts on society, such as spreading fake news or cyberbullying. Therefore, the ability to detect deepfake has become a pressing need. This ... -

Understanding Inner Solar System Dust Environment Through In-Situ Measurements
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-10-04)It is apparent from remote observations that the density of interplanetary dust is the highest in the near-solar region. Yet, there were little in-situ data available from measurements from within 1 AU before Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter (SolO) missions. They both venture close to the Sun on elliptical orbits, and they are equipped with electrical antennas capable of dust detection, ... -
A state-of-the-art review of AI decision transparency for autonomous shipping
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-03)The introduction of maritime autonomous surface ships (MASSs) has prompted a significant shift in the role of navigators from traditional navigation to supervising artificial intelligence (AI) collision avoidance systems or managing operations from remote operation centers (ROCs). This may be problematic because the integration of AI technologies into collision avoidance systems may jeopardize safety ... -
High space–time bandwidth product imaging in low coherence quantitative phase microscopy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-22)Current low coherence quantitative phase microscopy (LC-QPM) systems suffer from either reduced field of view (FoV) or reduced temporal resolution due to the short temporal coherence (TC) length of the light source. Here, we propose a hybrid, experimental and numerical approach to address this core problem associated with LC-QPM. We demonstrate high spatial resolution and high phase sensitivity in ...
