In the predicting the wildfire spread for N days ahead, the data from remotely sensed Earth observation and the open sources data are used to obtain three datasets: coordinates of the fire outbreak; static features of the site for predicting a wildfire; dynamic features of the site for predicting a wildfire. Such three datasets are fed to the input of at least one neural network, which is used to generate a single feature environment. Generated single feature environment is used as a basis to predict the wildfire spread in the site for predicting a wildfire for N days ahead. Provided the predicting the wildfire spread for a given number of days ahead after the fire detection, improving the accuracy of predictions.

A method for path planning for a machine to traverse an area includes calculating a spline trajectory based on a plurality of control points of a first path. A subset of the plurality of control points having an equal step is selected. A direction of the normal to the spline trajectory for each of the selected points is determined. Control points within the subset that are a solution to a second order cone programming class optimization problem along each normal to the spline trajectory are searched for and the spline trajectory is extended to a border of the area to create a second path adjacent to the first path based on the control points. The optimization problem can minimize the weighted sum of the average curvature at junction points of elementary sections of the spline trajectory and/or the average width overlap of adjacent paths.

The invention we propose is a polymer -based data storage solution for the identification (marking), tracing, and logistics following of delivery and use of goods where the physical implementation of such solution would be technically possible. Our solution is technically articulated through a thin sheet or film of stable to an environment of use or bio-degradable polymer (including the possibility of being an edible polymer) with periodic or non-periodic indentations or surface-reliefs, which alter its optical thickness, to use it to encode and store the data. The information can be retrieved by analysis of the diffraction pattern formed on a light detector due to laser beam passes through the polymer film or is reflected on it. A polymer thin film is directly embedded (or firmly associated) into the good, in which the technical design of the physical product would allow a laser beam passage.

The invention relates to water content determination in shale oil-and-gas source rock/hydrocarbon reservoirs of a complex structure. The device consists of a heating chamber in which a pan with a rock sample is placed, the sample pan is sealed with a lid having a thin tube made of a heat-resistant material, with one end of the tube inside the pan cavity while the other end extends out of the heating chamber cavity and into a receiver container arranged in a vessel filled with a coolant. The water content of the sample in the pan is determined by evaporating the water phase, the vapours of which are condensed and collected in a measuring tube, and a volume and/or a mass of the water extracted is measured directly while dividing the total water content into free water content and physically bound water content; wherein the water phase evaporation is conducted by a step-wise heating of the rock sample in a sealed pan to a maximum temperature of 350°C.

The invention relates to the field of marking granules of ammonium nitrate produced for industrial purposes with the aim of its subsequent identification. The invention may be used to mark class A nitrate for the rapid identification of the nitrate class and to establish the product manufacturer, batch number, and date of manufacture. The advantage of the resultant marking composition and approach consists in simply and rapidly mixing a marking powder containing a metal-based marking component with previously prepared ammonium nitrate granules in a quantity of 0.001-0.1 wt% of the nitrate granule weight. Owing to the porous structure of the nitrate granules, the marking powder, with a particle size of 0.2 to 2 microns, penetrates into the pores and is retained therein., The composite may additionally contain a magnetic phase based on iron (III) compounds for identifying an explosive substance after explosion.

The present disclosure provides embodiments for simulating a quantum circuit. In particular, an indication of a subset of input and output qubits of the quantum circuit is received. The indicated subset corresponds to an amplitude tensor of the quantum circuit that is to be determined, wherein the amplitude tensor comprises amplitudes for different combinations of states of the qubits of the indicated subset. Using a tensor network of the quantum circuit and Restricted Maximum Cardinality Search, RMCS, an elimination order of intermediate qubits within the quantum circuit is determined. The amplitude tensor is determined by removing, successively in accordance with the elimination order, that indices of the tensors of the tensor network that correspond to the intermediate qubits from the tensor network.

The present invention describes a novel bacterial nuclease of a CRISPR-Cas9 system from the bacterium P. pneumotropica, as well as the use of said nuclease for creating strictly specific two-strand cuts in a DNA molecule. The present nuclease possesses unusual properties and can be used as an instrument for introducing changes at strictly specified locations in a genomic DNA sequence of single-celled and multi-celled organisms. The invention thus increases the universality of accessible CRISPR-Cas9 systems, making it possible to use Cas9 nuclease from various organisms to cut genomic or plasmid DNA in a large number of specific sites and under various conditions.

Disclosed are various embodiments of methods, components and systems configured to determine a location of a source of cardiac arrhythmia in a patient's heart. In some embodiments, to determine a source location, electrogram signals are acquired from a region of the patients' heart using a first set of electrodes; and then a pre-trained artificial intelligence (AI) model is applied to predict the location of the cardiac arrhythmia source by using the signals. Importantly, pre-training of the AI model comprises acquiring electrogram signals from explanted human hearts, the signals are generated by a second set of electrodes assembled into an electrode array that covers at least a part of the explanted human heart, and acquiring co-registered functional and/or structural imaging data in the part of the explanted human heart covered with the electrode array, wherein the functional and/or structural imaging data provide location of at least one source of cardiac arrhythmia.
