Spiking Neural Networks for Energy-Efficient Acoustic Emission-Based Monitoring by Federica Zonzini, Wenliang Xiang, Luca de Marchi

“…In this work, a novel processing flow which shifts the identification process from the time to the time-frequency domain via wavelet transform (WT) is proposed, allowing to better capture transient behaviors typical of the originated AE signals. More specifically, both the continuous and the discrete WT alternatives have been explored to find the best compromise between time-frequency resolution and computational complexity in view of extreme edge deployments. …”

Visualization of Observational Learning and Peer Influence on Plastic Waste Diversity in the Campus Environment Using ArcGIS by Nüket Sivri, Atilla Aydoğdu, Vildan Zülal Sönmez, Ceyhun Akarsu

“…Indeed, certain relationships and interactions related to the disposal of waste into the natural environment instead of proper waste collection points have spread like a virus and led to the formation of behavioral patterns. This study is based on the fundamental premise of the impact of "observational learning'," a social-cognitive approach and "peer influence" on the variety of meso/macro plastic unknowingly left on campus area and visualizing the distribution of plastic pollution in this environment. …”
