the Diocesan Museum of Padua will host the exhibition Il Canova mai visto (Canova Never Seen) The beating heart of the exhibition is the Vaso cinerario della contessa Lodovica von Callenberg( Cinerary Vase of Countess Lodovica von Callenberg) a work by Antonio Canova that is on public display for the first time part of the heritage of the Church of Padua was originally placed in the outdoor garden of the Church of the Eremitani Made by Antonio Canova between 1803 and 1807 it was considered destroyed due to the bombing in March 1944 and was later found in the parish premises thanks to a search of the inventory of ecclesiastical cultural property The Cinerary Vase was part of a funerary monument designed and built by architects Domenico Fadiga and Giannantonio Selva and consisted of a cippus supporting the sculptural work of Antonio Canova on which stood an inscription by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe there was a stele with an epigraph written by Abbot Stefano Antonio Morcelli and seven candelabras each with inscriptions dedicated to famous people The Church of the Eremitani had also housed another work by Antonio Canova until 1896: the Funeral Stele of Prince William of Orange Nassau made between 1806 and 1808 of which a bronze copy still stands today.In addition an upcoming exhibition will present the connections between Padua and Antonio Canova including prominent figures from the European aristocracy These include Swiss painter Angelica Kaufmann author of a portrait of Canova preserved in a private collection in Padua It will also be an opportunity to delve into the figure of German noblewoman Lodovica von Callenberg and her relationships with European intellectuals and artists and with the Italian and European aristocracy including senator and prince Abbondio Rezzonico A number of Canova plaster casts from the Possagno Gipsoteca will also be on display within the Il Canova mai visto exhibition The exhibition will also include portraits of the protagonists involved in the creation of the work unpublished views of the city of Padua showing the original location of the funeral monument and a collection of period volumes that helped to pass on its fame A special section will be devoted to documents letters and writings of Monsignor Giovanni Battista Sartori Canova which testify to the prelate’s connection with his beloved seminary Among the bequests that the prelate arranged one tells of Sartori Canova’s numismatic passion: the collection of as many as 3,600 coins of ancient Rome I would say almost passionate care.” To be precise the inventory mentions “3,593 pieces in silver and first and second bronze [...] and some Consular cotrons of No 163 families [...] and those of the high Latin empire of 98 heads.” All these objects will be on public display for the first time and will be part of a research project of the University of Padua From the Antiquarian Library of the Episcopal Seminary of Padua a group of engravings from the bequest of Marquis Federico Manfredini and numerous texts including the latest volume of the History of Sculpture Dal suo risorgimento all’epoca di Canova who considered Antonio Canova the highest expression of sculpture Monsignor,” wrote Giovanni Battista Sartori Canova to the then Bishop of Padua Modesto Farina “not only to give a sign of grateful remembrance to the place in which I had my literary and ecclesiastical education and was assumed to the priesthood but also well to supply a need of this institute too in truth poorly provided for the instruction of the young in the science of numismatics.” “The exhibition,” comments one of the curators and director of the Diocesan Museum “is an interesting opportunity to discover some previously unpublished evidence about Antonio Canova - novello Fidia as his contemporaries called him - but also to grasp the close ties with the city and with some of the most illustrious personalities of the time It will also be interesting to better delineate the figure of Lodovica von Callenberg whose profile is being studied by some researchers who is known to have been an esteemed musician as well as a noblewoman whose friendships included those with Goethe and Angelika Kauffmann This initiative is part of the cultural project of the Diocesan Museum marked for more than two decades by an activity of knowledge recovery and enhancement of the cultural heritage of the area conducted in close synergy with research and preservation bodies and institutes.” Wilhelmsen Maritime Services (WMS) has agreed to sell its subsidiary Callenberg Technology to Trident Maritime Systems for a net price of around $64m The sale will be financed with $41m in cash and a seller-financing package of $23m which will incur a $12m loss on WMS’s net profit “We have in Trident and their principal Having a new owner that operates within the same technology areas creates a perfect environment for employees customers and future growth of Callenberg with Trident,” Dag Schjerven said the “natural” combination would expand his company’s technical capabilities and geographic reach “Combining the rich history and strong reputation of Callenberg and Trident will create a market leader in the provision of marine systems to the global market,” he added They should be bright yellow so they are visible in the ocea..

Metrics details Imaging across both the full transverse spatial and temporal dimensions of a scene with high precision in all three coordinates is key to applications ranging from LIDAR to fluorescence lifetime imaging spatial resolution at the expense of temporal resolution are often required in particular when the full 3-dimensional data cube is required in short acquisition times We introduce a sensor fusion approach that combines data having low-spatial resolution but high temporal precision gathered with a single-photon-avalanche-diode (SPAD) array with data that has high spatial but no temporal resolution such as that acquired with a standard CMOS camera based on blurring the image on the SPAD array and computational sensor fusion reconstructs time-resolved images at significantly higher spatial resolution than the SPAD input upsampling numerical data by a factor \(12 \times 12\) and demonstrating up to \(4 \times 4\) upsampling of experimental data We demonstrate the technique for both LIDAR applications and FLIM of fluorescent cancer cells This technique paves the way to high spatial resolution SPAD imaging or FLIM imaging with conventional microscopes at frame rates accelerated by more than an order of magnitude To-date streak cameras provide the optimum temporal resolution with commercially available systems claiming resolutions of \(\sim \)100 fs but are also the most expensive of the available technologies limited by various restrictions on the type of measured data A cheap alternative is the use of photonic mixer devices (PMD)14 which are based on intensity modulated illumination and a special sensor pixel design that allows measuring the phase shift between outgoing and incoming illumination They are generally used as ToF sensors for depth imaging and provide high spatial (a) Schematic sketch of the imaging set-up for the LIDAR experiment: The scene is uniformly illuminated by pulsed laser from the same direction as the camera setup Light is collected and then imaged onto both the high-resolution CCD array and the low-resolution SPAD array by the same objective lens The SPAD sensor is placed slightly out of the focal plane to ensure the temporal information from each point within the scene spreads across multiple pixels (b) Effect of the optical blur: With the low fill-factor sensor in focus such that the imaging system’s point-spread-function PSF (coloured circles) is smaller than the pixel pitch regions of the scene are not collected by the pixels (grey areas) Shifting the sensor out of the focal plane blurs the PSF and ensures collection of the temporal information from each point in the scene The combination of sensor fusion and optical blur negates the heavy under-sampling of the scene caused by the pixel geometry of the SPAD array at the expense of sacrificing a percentage of the collected light intensity for the higher resolution sensor (up to 50% in the work shown here) a data cube with the temporal resolution of the SPAD detector and the spatial resolution of the CCD camera is reconstructed our approach is capable of compensating sensor flaws like dead pixels in the SPAD array We first verify our method with numerical simulations and assess its performance—details of this can be found in the Supplementary Information We then demonstrate the method practically on two different temporal imaging schemes: namely multipath LIDAR and FLIM (b) \(32\times 32 \times t\) SPAD measurement (c) \(96\times 96\times t\) reconstructed light-in-flight image and (d) depth images extracted from the SPAD measurement (top) and the reconstruction (bottom) for different scenes (a,b) are used as the inputs for our algorithm From top to bottom the measurements show a golfball a plastic cup filled with water in front of a slanted wall three cardboard letters with a few centimetres distance between them in front of a slanted wall Black areas in the depth images correspond to pixels with very low signal-to-noise ratio that therefore contain no meaningful depth information The goal of our method is to construct a final dataset with the spatial resolution of a high pixel density CCD sensor and the temporal resolution of a SPAD array For a SPAD dataset of spatial resolution \(m \times n\) pixels and \(\tau \) timebins and a high pixel density dataset of \(M \times N\) pixels SPAD arrays typically suffer from poor fill-factor (around 1% for the array in this work, see “Methods”) this results in a loss of information from light falling outside of the active areas needs to be optically filtered to prevent aliasing We achieve this by moving the sensor slightly out of focus such that the light from each point in the scene reaches at least one pixel’s active area and we therefore capture the temporal information from each point within the scene The resulting blur is then accounted for during the data analysis (see Supplementary Information) such that the algorithm retrieves the full \(i_\text {HR}(x,y,t)\) with the correct temporal information at each spatial coordinate The forward model is designed to encapsulate these features where B performs a blurring operation to account for the defocusing S is a mask accounting for the sparse sampling of the SPAD array and P performs a spatial downsizing of the higher \(M \times N\) dimensions to the lower \(m \times n\) dimensions (full details in Supplementary Information) the low spatial-resolution time-of-flight image d with \(A_\tau \) applying A to all time bins and both \(i_\text {HR}\) and d being in vector form where T performs a temporal integration over the data cube c is the vectorized CCD image and \(K_h\) and \(K_l\) perform a spatial integration over the high resolution and low resolution data cube The third term enforces a similarity between the temporal distribution of photon counts in the measured data and in the reconstruction this proved to be an essential prior in the reconstruction The fourth term promotes sparsity of the reconstructed data cube and while not affecting the quality of the result significantly it ensures stability of the reconstruction The last term is a 2-dimensional total variation prior that acts on the spatial dimensions of each frame which we found to significantly improve the results for scenes with large amounts of multiply scattered light To model the blur of the defocused image on the SPAD sensor a standard deviation of 6 CCD pixel widths was used This value was found empirically as the one yielding the best reconstruction results and its accordance with the data was verified using in- and out-of-focus data acquisitions The raw data of our SPAD measurements, as well as the reconstructed high resolution light-in-flight images rendered as videos showing the light propagating through the scene, can be found in the Supplementary Information, along with run times for all datasets. Spatial upsampling of the fluorescence lifetime of SKOV3 cancer cells (a) Full \(256 \times 256\) resolution intensity image (b) Down-sampled low resolution fluorescence lifetime image (c) Ground truth image at the full \(256 \times 256\) resolution (d) Result of our reconstruction algorithm with a \(4 \times 4\) pixel upsampling (e) Distribution of the reconstructed lifetimes (f) The pixel-by-pixel difference in lifetime between the Reconstruction and the Ground Truth Data Our results show a reduction in the number of time-resolved measurements (spatial points) by at least a factor of 16 can be achieved with the amount of time needed to acquire the high resolution image being small in comparison that substantial time is still required for the reconstruction post-measurement Whilst the temporal information within a LIDAR scene can often be readily approximated with a linear interpolation this is rarely the case for more complex systems such as FLIM where there may be non-trivial sub-micron changes in the lifetime account for these small scale variations by acquiring temporal information from the whole scene and by interpreting using the high-resolution spatial information as an additional constraint Fluorescence lifetime images of SKOV3 cancer cells expressing pcDNA3.1-mClover from a SPAD-CCD based microscope (a) Intensity image from the CCD sensor at a spatial resolution of \(304 \times 152\) pixels (b) Lifetime image obtained from the SPAD sensor with a resolution of \(76 \times 38\) pixels (c) Reconstructed image upscaled by a factor of \(4 \times 4\) to the same resolution as (a) (d) The lifetime distributions of the reconstructed image and the low spatial resolution dataset from the SPAD sensors (Ground Truth) (e) The pixel-by-pixel difference between low-resolution data and the reconstruction downsampled to the same pixel resolution Our method shows that with a simple optical set-up and a conventional camera the spatial resolution of a SPAD array sensor can be increased significantly a factor of 12 could be achieved on each spatial dimension corresponding to a factor of 144 in pixel count Low fill factor limitations could be overcome by moving the SPAD sensor slightly out of focus the proposed method has the potential to push the spatial resolution of time-resolved SPAD arrays well beyond the current state of the art and into the few mega pixel domain Holes in the SPAD measurement due to dead pixels are filled in by the reconstruction This has been demonstrated on measurement data with an upsampling factor of \(3 \times 3\) on LIDAR data and a factor of \(4 \times 4\) on FLIM data due to hardware limitations On additional datasets that have not been captured with our hardware set-up we demonstrated upsampling of \(8 \times 8\) and \(16 \times 16 \) after blurring and downsampling the original \(256 \times 256\) pixels SPAD data as well as those from simulated measurements suggest that using a CCD sensor with higher pixel density our method would allow higher upsampling factors also with our original hardware set-up our method is not limited by a low signal-to-noise ratio or the presence of ambient light as evidenced by the reconstructions in the Supplementary Information (“Upsampling results on other data sets” Section) The main limitation of our method is the long run time of the reconstructions which scales with the size of the reconstruction as well as the original SPAD measurement A full calibration of the light transport matrix which would include all optical effects for the specific hardware set-up accurately might yield even better results on experimental data it would supposedly also make the model more bound to a specific set-up and less flexible in the application to new unknown hardware systems it could be a worthwhile enhancement for a fixed (commercial) system Considering the availability of small form factor SPAD and CCD sensors All data and code used in this article can be found at https://github.com/ccallenberg/spad-ccd-fusion The emCCD is used without gain such that it operates as a conventional CCD Exposure times of the order of 100 ms are used The same camera objective (12 cm fisheye) is used for both sensors in parallel The illumination source is Ti:Sapph oscillator of 130 fs pulse duration at a repetition rate of 80 MHz and a centre wavelength of 800 nm which flood illuminates the scene The SPAD camera acquisition is synchronised with the laser using an Optical Constant Fraction Discriminator to minimise electronic

Nature Briefing: AI and Robotics newsletter — what matters in AI and robotics research As the crusade for a better work and life balance gains momentum more industrial action is looming over the UK’s offshore energy sector with workers backing up strike action due to disputes over working rotas which have not been settled with IES Callenberg and SGS UK Limited This wave of strike action will hit several platforms operated by BP In January 2024, the UK’s Unite the union was setting the wheels into motion to ballot over 50 members in the offshore sector by holding industrial action ballots at IES Callenberg and SGS UK Limited due to – what was said to be – the companies’ failure to improve jobs commented: “Unite has attempted to get both IES Callenberg and SGS to listen to the concerns of our members with no success IES Callenberg has gone even further by banning its staff from discussing with clients or the offshore installation manager the very nature of the dispute “The disputes are not only about rates of pay but the current working rota of three weeks on and three weeks off Our members work all year round but their training is carried out during their field breaks This leaves our offshore members disadvantaged compared to onshore staff which is unacceptable.“ Around 60 members in the offshore sector – including chemists and ventilation engineers – have now cast their votes in favor of strike action in disputes over working rotas the IES Callenberg members supported strike action by 82.8% on a 72.5% turnout The dispute encompasses around 50 offshore workers who provide heating and air conditioning services on offshore platforms operated by BP These workers will take three-day strike action over three months the SGS UK Limited members of Unite backed strike action by 89% on a 100% turnout who are servicing BP’s platforms – Clair and Glen Lyon – will take week-long strike action over a series of months the industrial action will take place on March 25 – 31 the workers’ fight for a better work and life balance is at the heart of both disputes the UK union has drawn attention to the growing number of workers in the offshore sector which are recording concerns over physical and mental burnout the IES Callenberg and SGS UK Limited members who work 12-hour shifts for three weeks at a time are required to conduct any training during their field breaks while onshore staff employed by both companies are not required to take training during their holidays SGS UK Limited made £27.6 million (currently nearly $35.32 million) profit after tax in 2022 and amassed over £51 million (around $65.26 million) in profits over the last four years while IES Callenberg increased its turnover to £12.5 million (almost $16 million) and reported £461,693 (about $590,711) in profit after tax in 2022 more than double the profit in the previous year highlighted: “Unite will stand shoulder to shoulder with our members employed by SGS and IES Callenberg These are profitable companies which must start treating workers fairly “Our offshore workers are fully prepared to fight to get the improved terms and conditions they deserve We will ensure that our members are backed all the way in the campaign to secure better jobs pay and conditions in the offshore sector.” Unite also showed its determination to help tackle the offshore rotation disputes and enable its members to secure an improved work-life balance by throwing its support behind more than 100 offshore drillers, who voted unanimously in favor of industrial action and a continuous overtime ban However, things took a turn for the better shortly after, culminating in the UK union‘s confirmation that the dispute was settled following a new working rotation for these offshore drillers Daily

consultancy for mobile offshore units and reliable equipment and technical knowledge into realistic & innovative ideas The performance of new and existing jack-ups Swedish Stena Line that operates a ferry service between Gothenburg and Danish Frederikshavn has made a deal with with Callenberg Technology Group In three stages signified by different sized batteries they want to electrify the vessel Stena Jutlandica 1 MWh of batteries will be installed on the deck of the Swedish ferry The 3,000 kW battery pack holds enough power for the Stena Jutlandica to thrust and maneuver when in port Stage two will see the connection of a 20 MWh battery pack to the propellers Stena Jutlandica will thus be able to sail all-electrically for about 10 nautical miles equal to the distance between Göteborg and Vinga Lighthouse the battery capacity will be further expanded to 50 MWh That will last for 50 nautical miles of all-electric range Those 92 kilometres correspond to the distance between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn so that the route will be operated with zero emissions The batteries are charged ashore but can also be topped up by the ship’s generators this gradual approach serves to gather experiences with electric operations as they go Step by step electrification may also enable them to save some money Stena Line CEO: “As both the size and cost of batteries decrease battery operation becomes a very exciting alternative to traditional fuels for shipping as emissions to air can be completely eliminated.” The Callenberg Technology Group cooperates with Stena Teknik for this project The latter also works research institutions The first phase of the project is jointly financed by the Swedish Transport Administration and the EU cision.com, greencarcongress.com I agree with

delivered to your inbox Works from the Episcopal Seminary and the Church of the Eremitani at the Diocesan Museum of Padua initially scheduled for fall 2024 the exhibition will therefore be open from March 8 to June 8 this postponement proved to be a valuable opportunity: over the past months the research work accompanying the preparation of the exhibition has brought to light new discoveries enriching both the exhibition proposal and the documentary apparatus the opening of the exhibition will coincide with the start of the 25th anniversary celebrations of the Diocesan Museum (it was officially opened in 2000) which for the occasion will be enhanced by a new lighting system provided by iGuzzini.The centerpiece of the exhibition is the Vaso cinerario (cinerary vase) of Countess Louise von Callenberg owned by the parish of the Eremitani of Padua and originally placed in the exterior spaces of the church created by Antonio Canova between 1803 and 1807 had been thought to have been destroyed following the March 1944 bombing which caused severe damage to the city and the Eremitani complex thanks to extensive research on the famous sculptor’s works in the Veneto region and the inventory of CEI’s ecclesiastical cultural assets (beweb.it) the work was found within the parish rooms The exhibition will revolve around this significant find: the recomposition of the entire funerary monument designed and created by architect Giannantonio Selva and sculptor Domenico Fadiga will be proposed The monument included a cippus on which stood the work of Canova accompanied by an inscription attributable to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe a stele with an epigraph written by Abbot Stefano Antonio Morcelli each with an inscription dedicated to prominent figures of the time also at the center of an interesting story of recovery which will be reconstructed and presented in the exhibition itinerary The exhibition will also include other works by Canova including the valuable collection of Manfredini prints and a section entirely devoted to documents 2025 will mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Sartori Canova (1775-1858) who in his youth studied at the Episcopal Seminary in Padua Documents will be on display that attest to his deep connection with the institute which preserves a valuable medagliere containing some 3,600 coins from ancient Rome some of which were provided by Antonio Canova himself to his brother as an iconographic reference for some of his sculptures The works on display will also include casts which testify not only to the artistic value of Canova’s work but also to his relationship with Padua and his connections with leading figures of the European aristocracy The exhibition will take place inside the Diocesan Museum in the Bishop’s Palace The Barbarigo Hall will host the section dedicated to historical documents the medagliere and some plaster sculptures will host the reconstruction of the funeral monument of Countess von Callenberg as it appeared outside the Church of the Eremitani at the foot of a centuries-old cypress tree that still stands today the exhibition will tell a compelling story full of almost fictional elements and curiosities nobles and intellectuals into a mosaic that takes shape thanks to the pieces on display in the exhibition The exhibition is organized by the Diocese of Padua in collaboration with the Diocesan Museum of Padua the Diocesan Service for Sacred Art and Ecclesiastical Cultural Heritage the Library of the Episcopal Seminary and the Diocesan Historical Archives with the support of the Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio for the provinces of Venice It enjoys the patronage of the Veneto Region the Province of Padua and the City of Padua and was made possible thanks to the support of entities and institutions such as the Province of Padua Confindustria Veneto Est and 8xmille to the Catholic Church Also contributing to the realization of the exhibition were

the wave of disputes over working rotas is spreading across the UK’s offshore sector As offshore workers ponder whether to go on a strike in a bid to improve their work-life balance industrial action looms over multiple platforms operated by BP the UK’s Unite the union is in the process of balloting over 50 members in the offshore sector – covering chemists heating and ventilation engineers – by holding industrial action ballots at IES Callenberg and SGS UK Limited The union explains that these companies failed to improve the jobs highlighted: “These disputes center on the demand by workers at both companies to have the same holiday and working patterns as onshore shift workers Unite will stand shoulder to shoulder with our offshore members and they have our full support in their fight for better jobs While the IES Callenberg dispute involves over 40 offshore workers who provide heating chemists who provide services to the offshore oil and gas industry employed by SGS UK Limited are also being balloted on industrial action the SGS UK Limited dispute centers exclusively on chemists servicing BP’s platforms the Clair are slated to close on February 22. These disputes spotlight the workers fighting for a better work and life balance its members in the offshore sector are increasingly recording concerns over physical and mental burnout and stress due to staff shortages. The IES Callenberg and SGS UK Limited members work 12-hour shifts for three weeks at a time they are required to conduct any needed training during their field breaks underlined: “Unite has tried to get the companies to listen to our members’ concerns The overriding concern driving these disputes is that workers at IES Callenberg and SGS UK Limited currently work a three weeks on and three weeks off rota all required training must be carried out during their break This situation is unacceptable and it needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency our members will be forced to take strike action While SGS UK Limited made £27.6 million (nearly $35.1 million) profit after tax in 2022 and amassed over £51 million (around $64.83 million) in profits over the last four years IES Callenberg increased its turnover to £12.5 million (almost $15.9 million) and reported £461,693 (about $586,920) in profit after tax in 2022 The widening of the offshore working rota disputes comes only days after around 100 offshore workers, employed by Odfjell Technology and working on Equinor’s platform in the UK sector of the North Sea, decided to embark on strike action to secure improvements to working rotas The strike action will entail a series of 24-hour strikes taking place every Monday with a continuous overtime ban in place throughout the 12-week period Offshore Wind With over 50 years of experience in
