ARCHIMEDES Project ensures extended ECS lifetime
Reiner John, Coordinator Research Funding Corporate Strategy at AVL List, examines how the ARCHIMEDES project ensures an extended ECS lifetime with digital means and fosters a circular economy. In the face of climate change, we need urgent action in the transition towards cleaner energy in transportation, infrastructure, and power. Electronic components and systems (ECS) currently last around 8,000 hours, but a longer lifespan of up to 120,000 is required. The ARCHIMEDES project is dedicated to transforming how ECS are qualified, ensuring a trusted extended lifetime throughout the entire supply chain. This initiative will impact the semiconductor, automotive, aviation, and infrastructure sectors by advancing technologies that boost resource efficiency and prolong the life of essential systems.

AbstractWith the increasing capabilities of machine learning systems and their potential use in safety-critical systems, ensuring high-quality data is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we present a novel approach for the assurance of data quality. For this purpose, the mathematical basics are first discussed and the approach is presented using multiple examples. This results in the detection of data points with potentially harmful properties for the use in safety-critical systems.

In December 2023, the US Department of State in a press release highlighted its new extended continental shelf (ECS) claims in the Arctic and Bering Sea region.1 The US press release noted that these new claims are on the basis of scientific data and research conducted by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It further noted that the US is making these claims in accordance with the principles of 'customary international law' and as per the provisions of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and in accordance with the guidelines of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS). The US move drew mixed reactions from the global legal and polar experts some of which questioned the legitimacy of such US move while others supported the US position.

У статті досліджено європейський досвід впровадження системи контролю імпорту (ІCS) та системи контролю експорту (ECS) ЄС відповідно до Рамкових стандартів ВМО. Узагальнено нормативно-правове забезпечення імплементації системи ICS/ECS. Проаналізовано порядок подання спрощеної ввізної декларації, вимоги до змісту та обсягу інформації, визначено терміни її надсилання з урахуванням специфіки виду транспорту, а також наведено перелік товарів, за якими її не потрібно подавати. The purpose of this writing is to study the European experience of introduction of prior notification by developing and implementing a monitoring system of import and export (ICS/ECS) under the Framework security standards and facilitate international trade WMO. In the article the European experience implementing the import control system (ICS) and the export control system (ECS) of EU under the Framework WMO standards. Overview Legal provisions for the implementation of the ICS / ECS. Simplified analysis procedure for filing the import declaration requirements to the content and volume of information defined terms sending it to the specific type of transport, as well as provides a list of goods for which it is not required to file. The results are aimed at ensuring the further development of the use of risk management in Ukraine by improving its information security in order to simultaneously simplify customs procedures and ensure an appropriate level of security of the state, business and society.

The Edible Cities Solutions (ECS) Action Plan is a description of activities that are going to be undertaken by the ECS Business Consulting Team during the lifetime of the project.

This thesis explores using the Entity-Component System (ECS) architecture to implement a Flight Dynamics Model (FDM) by re-implementing two published versions in the Rust programming language using the Specs Parallel ECS (SPECS) [1] for military simulation advancement. One FDM is based on Grant Palmers published textbook titled Physics for Game Programmers [2], and another is based on David Bourgs textbook titled Physics for Game Developers [3]. Furthermore, this thesis uses these models within an interactive flight simulator.The ECS architecture is based on the Data-Oriented Design (DOD) paradigm, where Components contain the data and the Systems implement the behavior which transforms data. The specific ECS selected for this research is the Rust-based SPECS framework. One goal of this research is to define the Components and the Systems of an ECS for the two FDMs and use them to build a flight simulator by creating additional Systems and Components to read keyboard inputs and send User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets to the FlightGear application for visualization [4].The ECS Systems used to calculate the equations of motion both for the Palmer-based and Bourg-based FDMs functionality were tested against the original code and were found to work as expected within a floating-point tolerance. A benchmark comparison between both FDMs determined that the Palmer model is faster on average than the Bourg model. Moreover, the re-implemented FDMs were successfully used to create interactive flight simulators using FlightGear for visualization.

A bidimensional (cognitive–emotional) novel survey, the Emotional and Cognitive Scale of the Human–Nature Relationship (ECS-HNR), was designed and validated to measure Ecological Awareness (EAW) and Ecological Affectiveness (EAF) as vital aspects of the human–nature relationship. Data were collected in Chile between July and October 2019 from 474 participants ranging between 6 and 85 years old, using the snowball sampling technique. To examine the properties of the ECS-HNR we analyzed the results in terms of its content validity, reliability, factor structure, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. The ECS-HNR comprises 24 items divided into two subscales with three subscales each (EAF: Empathy, Enjoyment, and Connectedness; EAW: Understanding, Appreciation, and Perception). The results demonstrated that the ECS-HNR is a reliable instrument, as items (the two scales and their subscales) exhibited an acceptable internal consistency. Our findings demonstrate that the ECS-HNR allows the integration of both dimensions of the human–nature relationship and is appropriate to evaluate attitudes and feelings toward nature.

The paper focuses on the case study of a settlement in the immediate vicinity of the Hungarian capital, which became nationally recognized in the second half of the 20th century through the staging of the community's wedding customs, known as Wedding at Ecser. Over the decades, the element lifted out of the local lifeworld – and ultimately constructed – has become linked with various community meanings and interpretive structures, through the examination of which the underlying historical, economic, and socio-cultural processes are being presented. Not only has the cultural relic – initially constructed by and through external actors – appreciated for local society, it soon developed into a central element of self-representation. At the same time, the cyclically growing interest in the staged custom and the repeated re-articulation of the wedding in new ways were closely linked with the social changes of the given period and the transformation of the local community and also dependent on the nature of power discourses at the local level. However, the wedding became not only an economic, ideological, political resource for the local community but also a valid meaning structure beyond the local level. This study pays special attention to discussions of the role that this phenomenon – which has nearly 60 years of history and many layers of meaning – may have played in the heritagization practices of the 21st century. There is particular emphasis on how the wedding as a heritage element and – more broadly – heritagization are linked to local experiences of a changing rurality.
