The organizing Committee of AICT 2024 was proud to present the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Communication Technology (AICT 2024), which was held on August 17-18, 2024 in Chongqing, China. The aim as well as objective of this AICT is to present the latest research and results of scientists related to Artificial Intelligence, Communication Technology and related topics. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas face-to-face, to establish business or research relations as well as to find global partners for future collaborations. We hope that the conference results will lead to significant contributions to the knowledge in these up-to-date scientific fields. All full paper submissions to the AICT 2024 must be written in English, and will be sent to 2-4 reviewers and evaluated based on originality, technical or research content, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. The full paper submissions will be chosen based on technical merit, interest, applicability, and how well they fit a coherent and balanced technical program. This AICT conference has received 96 manuscripts. And less than half of the submissions were accepted by our reviewers and the press. By submitting a paper to this AICT conference, the authors agree to the review process and understand that papers undergo a peer-review process. Manuscripts will be reviewed by appropriately qualified experts in the field selected by the Conference Committee, who will give detailed comments and-if the submission gets accepted-the authors submit a revised version that takes into account this feedback. All papers are reviewed using a double-blind review process: authors declare their names and affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see, but reviewers do not know each other's identities, nor do the authors receive information about who has reviewed their manuscript. The Committees of this 3rd AICT invest great efforts in reviewing the papers submitted to the conference and organizing the sessions to enable the participants to gain maximum benefit. Hopefully, all participants and other interested readers benefit scientifically from the proceedings and also find it stimulating in the process.

Competence of Carbonaceous Fibers/Nanofillers (Graphene, Carbon Nanotube) Reinforced Shape Memory Composites/Nanocomposites Towards Aerospace—Existent Status and Expansions

Abstract Shape memory or stimuli responsive polymers have established a unique grouping of smart materials. The technical merit of these polymers has been evaluated in aerospace sector, since last few decades. Particularly, the stimuli responsive polymers render inherent competences to recuperate the structural damages in exterior/interior space architectures. In this context, both the thermoplastics as well as thermosetting polymers depicted essential stimuli responsive behaviour. As interpreted in this state-of the-art review, the carbonaceous reinforcement like carbon fibers and nano-reinforcements including nanocarbons (graphene, carbon nanotube) have been employed in the shape recovering matrices. The performance of ensuing shape retrieving aerospace materials was seemed to be reliant on the polymer chain crosslinking effects, filler/nanofiller dispersal/alignment, microstructural specs, interfacial contour and interactions, and processing techniques used. Consequently, the shape actuations of polymer/carbon fiber composites were found to be instigated and upgraded through the inclusion of nanocarbon nano-additives. The ensuing high-tech shape memory composites/nanocomposites have anomalous significance for various aero-structural units (fuselage, wings, antennas, engines, etc.) due to prevention of possible thermal/shock/impact damages. Future implications of carbonaceous shape memory composites/nanocomposites in aerospace demands minimizing the structure-property-performance challenges and large scale fabrication for industrial scale utilizations. In this way, deployment of carbonaceous nanofiller/filler based composites revealed enormous worth due to low density, anti-fatigue/wear, anti-corrosion, non-flammability, self-healing, and extended durability and long life operations. However, there are certain challenges associated with the use of nanocarbons and ensuing nanocomposites in this field markedly the adoption of appropriate carbon fiber coating technique, aggregation aptitude of nanocarbons, additional processing steps/cost, nanoparticle initiated invisible defects/voids, difficulty in machinability operations due to presence of nanoparticles, and corrosion risk of composite structures in contact with metal surfaces. By overcoming these hinderances, nanoparticles modified carbon fiber based composites can be promising towards a new look of upcoming modernized aerospace industry.

P078 “It’s very good but it needs to be better”: Usability and Acceptance of Fatigue Detection Technology in Australia.

Abstract Introduction Fatigue detection technology (FDT) is commonly used in the Australian road transport industry to monitor and/or detect driver fatigue. These devices typically provide alerts to drivers and their organisation if fatigue is detected and aim to reduce incidences of fatigue-related vehicle crashes and/or improve driver behaviour. The rise of these technologies is generating debate about how their relative design and merit might be evaluated. However, little is known about the experiences of individuals who use FDTs, including perceptions of use, acceptance, and effects on driver behaviour. The Australian Automobile Association funded the research into FDTs from which this presentation draws. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a range of existing users of FDT (n = 28) between November 2022 and June 2023. Participant groups included drivers (n = 17), middle managers and data users (n = 7), and executives (n = 4) from different commercial organisations that were trialling or had adopted FDT. Results Preliminary thematic analysis has identified a range of factors underlying driver and organisational acceptance of FDTs. These include: data privacy, vendor support, technical merit, training load, intrusiveness, and cost. Drivers perceived their behaviour to be moderately impacted by FDT in positive and negative ways. This included impacts on sleep/wake behaviour, in-cab activities, and driving performance. Certain types of FDT were considered highly contentious by all existing user groups. Discussion FDT adds further complexity to the contentious topic of fatigue management for professional drivers. Findings highlight a range of implications for FDT adoption and effective evaluation.

UConsent: Addressing the gap in measuring understanding of informed consent in clinical research.

The purpose of this study was to establish the technical merit, feasibility, and generalizability of a new measure of understanding of informed consent for use with clinical research participants. A total of 109 teens/young adults at a large, pediatric medical center completed the consenting process of a hypothetical biobanking study. Data were analyzed using a combination of classical and modern theory analytic methods to produce a final set of 19 items referred to as the uConsent scale. A requirement of the scale was that each item mapped directly onto one or more of the Basic Elements of Informed Consent from the 2018 Final Rule. Descriptive statistics were computed for each item as well as the scale as a whole. Partial credit (Rasch) logistic modeling was then used to generate difficulty/endorsability estimates for each item. The final, 19-item uConsent scale was derived using inferential methods to yield a set of items that ranged across difficulty levels (-3.02 to 3.10 logits) with a range of point-measure correlations (0.12 to 0.50), within-range item- and model-fit statistics, varying item types mapped to both Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning and required regulatory components of the 2018 Final Rule. Median coverage rate for the uConsent scale was 95% for the 25 randomly selected studies from ClinicalTrials.gov. The uConsent scale may be used as an effective measure of informed consent when measuring and documenting participant understanding in clinical research studies today.

Intravesical Contrast-Enhanced MRI: A Potential Tool for Bladder Cancer Surveillance and Staging.

This review article gives an overview of the current state of the art of bladder cancer imaging and then discusses in depth the scientific and technical merit of a novel imaging approach, tracing its evolution from murine cancer models to cancer patients. While the poor resolution of soft tissue obtained by widely available imaging options such as abdominal sonography and radiation-based CT leaves them only suitable for measuring the gross tumor volume and bladder wall thickening, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resolution imaging (DCE MRI) is demonstrably superior in resolving muscle invasion. However, major barriers still exist in its adoption. Instead of injection for DCE-MRI, intravesical contrast-enhanced MRI (ICE-MRI) instills Gadolinium chelate (Gadobutrol) together with trace amounts of superparamagnetic agents for measurement of tumor volume, depth, and aggressiveness. ICE-MRI leverages leaky tight junctions to accelerate passive paracellular diffusion of Gadobutrol (604.71 Daltons) by treading the paracellular ingress pathway of fluorescein sodium and of mitomycin (<400 Daltons) into bladder tumor. The soaring cost of diagnosis and care of bladder cancer could be mitigated by reducing the use of expensive operating room resources with a potential non-surgical imaging option for cancer surveillance, thereby reducing over-diagnosis and over-treatment and increasing organ preservation.

INSIDE THE REVIEW MEETING

Abstract What happens to applications on meeting day? What do study section members discuss? Review of applications are evaluated for their scientific and technical merit, and this is reflected in the reviewers’ written assessment of the project’s overall impact. In addition, reviewers score five core criteria and additional review criteria as defined in the funding opportunity announcement. The panel’s initial assessment determines which applications will be discussed in full at the meeting. For each that is discussed, reviewers briefly present the strengths and weaknesses of the application and discuss the factors that inform their overall assessment. At the end of the discussion, a final impact score is given by all eligible members of the panel, which is reported on the summary statement. Every application undergoes a similar process that ensures that fair and consistent consideration is applied to all applications. At the end of the presentation, attendees will learn how the foundation and pillars of the NIH peer review process are put into practice through scoring, discussion, and potential impact on the field.

THE STUDY SECTION AND THE ROLE OF THE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW OFFICER

Abstract Applications reviewed by the NIH Center for Scientific Review go through a process that starts with assignment to a review panel and ends with the generation of a priority score and a written evaluation (Summary Statement). This process is overseen by several key players, the most important being the Scientific Review Officer, who is the designated federal official overseeing all aspects of Level 1 review. Their role is to recruit and enlist expert reviewers to evaluate the scientific and technical merit of an application and assess its potential contribution and impact to the relevant research field. The goal of Level 1 review is to ensure that applications are expertly and fairly evaluated in accordance with the NIH policies of rigor, reproducibility, transparency and research integrity. In this presentation, attendees will learn about the how study sections are formed, how reviewers are involved and conduct their evaluations, and the guiding principles that underlie Level 1 review.

Gliding on the edge of the iron cage: performing rationality and artistry in the sport of figure skating.

Prior studies on growing formal rationalization in evaluation systems have overwhelmingly shown that they operate as "iron cages," which redefine standards of excellence around quantifiable metrics. However, existing literature may have overestimated the extent of isomorphism in individual or organizational practices under highly rationalized systems of assessment. The judging system in figure skating both rewards quantifiable technical merit and valorizes a circumscribed notion of artistry characterized by maturity and authenticity. It constitutes a combination of formal rationalization and culturally specific productions of artistry, offering participants a distinct set of options in constructing their competition routines. Drawing on exclusively obtained interview data with 40 Olympic-level figure skaters from the U.S. and 5 other countries, and following Alexander's (Sociol Theory 22(4):527-573, 2004) social performance theory, I explore the contingent process by which figure skaters maneuver between conformity to the formally rationalized rulebook and the non-isomorphic yet culture-structured performances of artistry. In doing so, I identify three types of skaters based on their embodiment of artistry: the emerging phenoms, the athletic performers and the "authentic" artists. My article reveals that despite rationalizing tendencies of the scoring system, skaters strive for social performances of artistry based on shared cultural scripts of greatness in the sport.

Hyperloop system optimization

Hyperloop system design is a uniquely coupled problem because it involves the simultaneous design of a complex, high-performance vehicle and its accompanying infrastructure. In the clean-sheet design of this new mode of high-speed mass transportation there is an excellent opportunity for the application of rigorous system optimization techniques. This work presents a system optimization tool, HOPS, that has been adopted as a central component of the Virgin Hyperloop design process. We discuss the choice of objective function, the use of a convex optimization technique called geometric programming, and the level of modeling fidelity that has allowed us to capture the system’s many intertwined, and often recursive, design relationships. We also highlight the ways in which the tool has been used. Because organizational confidence in a model is as vital as its technical merit, we close with a discussion of the measures taken to build stakeholder trust in HOPS.

Self super-resolution autostereoscopic 3D measuring system using deep convolutional neural networks.

Autostereoscopy technology can provide a rapid and accurate three-dimensional (3D) measurement solution for micro-structured surfaces. Elemental images (EIs) are recorded within one snapshot and the measurement accuracy can be quantified from the disparities existing in the 3D information. However, a trade-off between the spatial and the angular resolution of the EIs is a major obstacle to the improvement on the measurement results. To address this issue, an angular super-resolution algorithm based on deep neural networks is proposed to construct a self super-resolution autostereoscopic (SSA) 3D measuring system. The proposed super-resolution algorithm can generate novel perspectives between the neighboring EIs so that the angular resolution is enhanced. The proposed SSA 3D measuring system can achieve self super-resolution on its measurement data. A comprehensive comparison experiment was conducted to verify the feasibility and technical merit of the proposed measuring system. The results show that the proposed SSA system can significantly improve the resolution of the measuring data by around 4 folds and enhance the measurement accuracy to a sub-micrometer level with lower standard deviations and biases.
