Abstract
The rapidly increasing penetration of electric vehicles in modern metropolises has been witnessed during the past decade, inspired by financial subsidies as well as public awareness of climate change and environment protection. Integrating charging facilities, especially high-power chargers in fast charging stations, into power distribution systems remarkably alters the traditional load flow pattern, and thus imposes great challenges on the operation of distribution network in which controllable resources are rare. On the other hand, provided with appropriate incentives, the energy storage capability of electric vehicle offers a unique opportunity to facilitate the integration of distributed wind and solar power generation into power distribution system. The above trends call for thorough investigation and research on the interdependence between transportation system and power distribution system. This paper conducts a comprehensive survey on this line of research. The basic models of transportation system and power distribution system are introduced, especially the user equilibrium model, which describes the vehicular flow on each road segment and is not familiar to the readers in power system community. The modelling of interdependence across thetwo systems is highlighted. Taking into account such interdependence, applications ranging from long-term planning to short-term operation are reviewed with emphasis on comparing the description of traffic-power interdependence. Finally, an outlook of prospective directions and key technologies in future research is summarized.

Abstract
This paper aims to describe the main outcomes of the ADMS4LV project which stands for Advanced Distribution Management System for Active Management of LV Grids. ADMS4LV targets the development and demonstration of a framework with adequate tools to optimize the management and operation of Low Voltage (LV) networks towards the effective implementation of Smart Grids. This work details the main functionalities of ADMS4LV and discusses their implementation. The validation of the functionalities is presented from demonstrations in a laboratorial setup, namely regarding the algorithms which using advanced data analytics, accomplish to operate LV networks with low observability, (i.e., with few real-time measurements) and without having full knowledge of the networks' technical characteristics, such as the consumers' phase connection to the grid. The assessment of the results shows the adequacy of the ADMS4LV solutions for deployment in distribution networks with current infrastructures, differing unnecessary investments in sensory devices. © 2019 IEEE.

Abstract
Data stream mining seeks to extract useful information from quickly-arriving, infinitely-sized and evolving data streams. Although these challenges have been addressed throughout the literature, none of them can be considered "solved." We contribute to closing this gap for the task of data stream clustering by proposing two modifications to the well-known ClusTree data stream clustering algorithm: pruning unused branches and detecting concept drift. Our experimental results show the difficulty in tackling these aspects of data stream mining and the sensitivity of stream mining algorithms to parameter values. We conclude that further research is required to better equip stream learners for the data stream clustering task.

Abstract
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness in working age adults. DR lesions can be challenging to identify in fundus images, and automatic DR detection systems can offer strong clinical value. Of the publicly available labeled datasets for DR, the Indian Diabetic Retinopathy Image Dataset (IDRiD) presents retinal fundus images with pixel-level annotations of four distinct lesions: microaneurysms, hemorrhages, soft exudates and hard exudates. We utilize the HEDNet edge detector to solve a semantic segmentation task on this dataset, and then propose an end-to-end system for pixel-level segmentation of DR lesions by incorporating HEDNet into a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN). We design a loss function that adds adversarial loss to segmentation loss. Our experiments show that the addition of the adversarial loss improves the lesion segmentation performance over the baseline.

Abstract
In order to enhance the scientific exploitation of adaptive optics (AO)-assisted observations, we investigate a novel hybrid concept to improve the parametric estimation of point spread function (PSF) called PSF Reconstruction and Identification for Multiple-source characterization Enhancement (PRIME). PRIME uses both focal and pupil-plane measurements to estimate jointly the model parameters related to the atmosphere [Cn2(h), seeing] and the AO system (e.g. optical gains and residual low-order errors). Photometry and astrometry are provided as by-products. The parametric model in use is flexible enough to be scaled with field location and wavelength, making it a proper choice for optimized on-axis and off-axis data-reduction across the spectrum. Here, we present the methodology and validate PRIME on engineering and binary Keck II telescope NIRC2 images. We also present applications of PSF model parameters retrieval using PRIME: (i) calibrate the PSF model for observations void of stars on the acquired images, i.e. optimize the PSF reconstruction process, (ii) update the AO error breakdown mutually constrained by the telemetry and the images in order to speculate on the origin of the missing error terms and evaluate their magnitude, and (iii) measure photometry and astrometry with an application to the triple system Gl569 images.
