Laboratory Experiments of Model-based Reinforcement Learning for Adaptive Optics Control
(2024)arXivDirect imaging of Earth-like exoplanets is one of the most prominent scientific drivers of the next generation of ground-based telescopes. Typically, Earth-like exoplanets are located at small angular separations from their host stars, making their detection difficult. Consequently, the adaptive optics (AO) system's control algorithm must be carefully designed to distinguish the exoplanet from the residual light produced by the host ...Working Paper -
MoMuCAMS: A new modular platform for boundary layer aerosol and trace gas vertical measurements in extreme environments
(2024)EGUsphereThe Modular Multiplatform Compatible Air Measurement System (MoMuCAMS) is a newly developed in situ aerosol and trace gas measurement payload for lower atmospheric vertical profiling in extreme environments. MoMuCAMS is a multiplatform compatible system, primarily designed to be attached to a helikite, a rugged tethered balloon type that is suitable for operations in cold and windy conditions. The system addresses the need for detailed ...Working Paper -
Collaboration and Innovation Patterns in Diabetes Ecosystems
(2024)medRxivBackground: The global prevalence of diabetes is increasing and has stimulated new technological advancements in disease management. Although there are many digital health companies with a focus on diabetes, building them up at scale is difficult due to a heterogeneous, inefficient, and fragmented healthcare system. While ecosystems, or collaborative value creation, could help address system fragmentation; the current diabetes ecosystem ...Working Paper -

Wearables and smartphones for modifiable risk factors in metabolic health: a scoping review protocol
(2024)medRxivBackground: Metabolic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, contribute significantly to global mortality and disability. Wearable devices and smartphones increasingly track physiological and lifestyle risk factors and can improve the management of metabolic diseases. However, the absence of clear guidelines for deriving meaningful signals from these devices often hampers cross-study comparisons. Objective: Thus, this ...Working Paper -
The impact of decreasing horizontal grid spacing on the simulation of the mountain boundary layer in the hectometric range
(2024)arXivThe horizontal grid spacing of numerical weather prediction models keeps decreasing towards the hectometric range. We perform limited-area simulations with the ICON model across horizontal grid spacings (1 km, 500 m, 250 m, 125 m) in the Inn Valley, Austria, and evaluate the model with observations from the CROSSINN measurement campaign. This allows us to investigate whether increasing the horizontal resolution automatically improves the ...Working Paper -
Dataset and Analysis of River Waste Pollution in the Limmat River, CH, during a One-day City Festival (Zurich Street Parade, 2023)
(2024)This paper introduces a dataset of instance seg- mentation of waste items collected from the Limmat River in Zurich, Switzerland, after the annual festival “Street Parade” held on August 12th, 2023. We have collected the objects during and after the event took place. The objective of the data collection is to gain a better understanding of waste items commonly found in rivers and to provide an open-source dataset for technology developers ...Report -
