The Appropriation or the Destruction of Memory? Bell Beaker ‘Re-Use’ of Older Sites

description: In West- und West-Mitteleuropa findet man in den obersten Schichten megalithischer Monumente oftmals Scherben von Glockenbechern, die manchmal von Knochen derselben Epoche begleitet sind. Diese ,Wiederverwendung‘ älterer Monumente ist nicht auf Begräbniskontexte beschränkt. Henges und Steinkreise können so genannte ,Coves‘ aus der Glockenbecher-Zeit enthalten, was auf eine veränderte Nutzung der Anlagen hindeutet. Das bekannteste Beispiel hierfür ist Stonehenge. Ich interpretiere das als einen bewussten Versuch einer neuen Elite, Machtmechanismen früherer Generationen auszulöschen. Die Bemühungen, die sich in diesen Umwidmungspraktiken niederschlagen, zeigen, dass diese Strukturen als eine tatsächliche Bedrohung für die neue Ordnung wahrgenommen wurden. Meine Fallstudie illustriert die Schwierigkeit, zwischen unterschiedlichen Umgangsweisen mit der Vergangenheit zu unterscheiden; zwischen dem Gebrauch und der beabsichtigten Zerstörung von materiellen Erinnerungen.

description: Evaluating the quality of occupational safety and health (OSH) services by experts is essential for both employee health and workplace productivity. In this study, first, the quality of OSH services is evaluated with a questionnaire using the SERVPERF method. Then, a questionnaire prepared according to the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method is applied to OSH experts and the relative importance of the main dimensions and items in the SERVPERF method are determined. The weights of the items in the SERVPERF method are calculated with the AHP and fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (FAHP). The quality scores obtained by the SERVPERF, AHP and FAHP methods are analyzed comparatively. The results show that the work environment-related measures and physical facilities in the workplaces are more inadequate, whereas assurance and empathy are better. Moreover, the items with the lowest value in the SERVPERF method get the highest score in the AHP and FAHP.

description: Video Frame Interpolation (VFI) is important for video enhancement, frame rate up-conversion, and slow-motion generation. The introduction of event cameras, which capture per-pixel brightness changes asynchronously, has significantly enhanced VFI capabilities, particularly for high-speed, nonlinear motions. However, these event-based methods encounter challenges in low-light conditions, notably trailing artifacts and signal latency, which hinder their direct applicability and generalization. Addressing these issues, we propose a novel per-scene optimization strategy tailored for low-light conditions. This approach utilizes the internal statistics of a sequence to handle degraded event data under low-light conditions, improving the generalizability to different lighting and camera settings. To evaluate its robustness in low-light condition, we further introduce EVFI-LL, a unique RGB+Event dataset captured under low-light conditions. Our results demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in low-light environments. Project page: https://naturezhanghn.github.io/sim2real.

description: Objectives. Risk perception can affect safety behaviors. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between safety behaviors and risk perception among cement factory workers. Methods. The study was conducted on all 236 workers of a cement factory in Bijar, Iran. Three valid questionnaires were used: a sociodemographic and job-related questionnaire, a risk perception questionnaire and a safety behavior questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the χ2 test and multiple linear regression analysis. Results. The mean age of participants was 38.1 (±8.4) years. The level of risk perception was high among 60.6% of participants and moderate among 33.1% of them. Additionally, 67.8% of participants had diligent engagement in safety behaviors. The results of the study revealed that job type, experience with workplace events and engagement in safety behaviors had a significant positive relationship with risk perception. Conclusions. This study shows that risk perception, safety training and supervision have a significant positive relationship with the engagement in safety behaviors. The findings of this study can be used in designing workplace interventions to reduce occupational dangers. Motivational strategies are suggested to encourage workers to use personal protection equipment.
Ritual Practice and Topographic Context. Considerations on the Spatial Forms of Memory in the Central Alps during the Late Bronze Age

description: Der vorliegende Aufsatz behandelt die räumlichen Parameter zweier charakteristischer ritueller Praxen der zentralalpinen Bronzezeit: der Objektdeponierung und der Aktivitäten auf Brandopferplätzen. In Bezug auf die räumliche Dimension des kulturellen Gedächtnisses schlage ich zwei (zeitweise koexistierende) Modi vor. Einer bezieht sich auf eine geografisch flexible ,Landschaft‘, in der die exakte Koordinate bei der Platzwahl des Rituals weniger bedeutend ist als die naturräumliche Qualität. Der andere bezieht sich auf territorialbedeutsame Stellen im Gelände. Vor dem Hintergrund der wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen im zentralen Alpenraum postuliere ich eine Loslösung deskulturellen Gedächtnisses vom natürlichen Gelände zu Gunsten kollektiv genutzter und elitär kontrollierter Zeremonialorte.

description: Im Zentrum der Analyse des Geschichtsbilds der Athener als integralem Element ihrer kollektiven Identität standen bisher vornehmlich die polisweiten Formen des öffentlichen Gedenkens, wie z. B. die öffentliche Leichenrede für die gefallenen Athener. Ausgehend von der dem kollektiven Gedächtnis inhärenten Multipolarität widmet sich dieser Beitrag den in den Demen und Phylen gepflegten Erinnerungen und untersucht, wie diese und die ‚offizielle‘ athenische Polistradition sich im öffentlichen Diskurs der Athener im 4. und 5.Jahrhundert v. Chr. gegenseitig beeinflussten und stützten.

description: Objectives. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among blue-collar and white-collar workers stratified by gender and age. Methods. The sample was composed of 390 blue-collar and 510 white-collar workers. Musculoskeletal symptoms were evaluated using the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. An independent t test or Mann–Whitney test was used for inter-group comparisons. The χ2 association test was applied for categorical variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the influence of gender and age on musculoskeletal symptoms. Results. The prevalence of shoulder, lower back and ankle/foot symptoms was higher among blue-collar workers compared to white-collar workers. In the analysis stratified by gender, female blue-collar workers had a higher frequency of shoulder symptoms and male blue-collar workers had a higher frequency of lower back symptoms. In the analysis stratified by age, younger blue collar-workers had a higher frequency of shoulder, lower back and ankle/foot symptoms compared to young white-collar workers, and older white-collar workers had a higher frequency of neck symptoms compared to older blue-collar workers. Conclusions. Gender and age exerted an influence on self-reported symptoms in blue-collar and white-collar workers.

description: Diese Studie widmet sich einigen Aspekten des ‚Gallischen Desasters‘ in der römischen Erinnerungskultur, insbesondere der Rolle des Kapitols. Das Kapitol als Symbol des römischen Widerstands und der Vorherrschaft im mediterranen Raum ist das Ergebnis einer Traditionsentwicklung, die u.a. eine Stilisierung nach griechischen Berichten über die persische Eroberung Athens in sich aufgenommen hat. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass der Anblick des Kapitols diverse Versionen über den Verlauf der Belagerung, den Gebrauch historischer exempla sowie die Entwicklung ritueller Prozessionen förderte. Als Ergebnis war das Kapitol in die Erinnerungslandschaft der Stadt integriert und das ‚Gallische Desaster‘ wurde als bedeutendes Geschichtsereignis des religiösen und politischen Zentrums Rom erinnert.

description: We identify an anisotropic divergence-free conformal Killing tensor $K_{jl}$ for static spherically symmetric spacetimes, and write the conformal Killing gravity equations as Einstein equations augmented by this tensor. The field equations are of second order: this fact allows for analytic solutions and considerably simplifies the derivation of results of previous studies based on the original Harada equations. In particular, we prove the equivalence of the known third order field equations, with the second order ones obtained by us in the conformal Killing parametrization. The structure of the Ricci tensor and of the conformal Killing tensor are compatible with both anisotropic fluid sources and (non)-linear electrodynamics. We reobtain covariantly and in simple steps the general static spherical solutions for vacuum and linear electrodynamics. Moreover we recover the purely magnetic Lagrangian functions that induce metrics of interest for black holes.

description: Im Jahr 9 n. Chr., nach beinahe 30 Kriegsjahren in Germania, erlitt das Römische Reich eine tragische Niederlage. Die verlustreiche Schlacht wurde als clades variana, Schlacht im Teutoburger Wald oder Hermanns-schlacht bekannt. Im Verlauf der Jahrhunderte erfuhr das Ereignis aufgrund seiner besonderen historischen Konstellationen, der Neuinterpretationen seit dem 16. Jhdt. sowie der Ausgrabungen in Kalkriese besondere Bedeutung, die zur Errichtung eines Museums am Ort führte. So erfüllt die Varus-Schlacht zwar viele Kriterien für einen „lieu de mémoire“, das Konzept weist jedoch einige Einschränkungen hinsichtlich seiner Anwendbarkeit und Angemessenheit für das genannte Ereignis auf.

description: Als ,Gedächtnisanker‘ können natürliche Plätze und archäologische Stätten wirkmächtige Orte sozialen Gedächtnisses sein, die zentrale Punkte für die Konstruktion von Erinnerung und Bedeutung darstellen. Als solche stehen sie im Zentrum der Konstruktion von Erinnerung und deren Sinn. Sie können Brennpunkte widerstreitender Interessen um Ressourcenzugänge, Landrechte oder Rechtsansprüche auf Wissen werden. Im Südwesten Nordamerikas zeichnen sich scharfe Interessengegensätze zwischen Nachkommen amerikanischer UreinwohnerInnen, ArchäologInnen, BürokratInnen, TouristInnen und der Bergbauindustrie ab. In dieser Studie erörtere ich die zentrale Rolle von Chaco Canyon, einer UNESCO Weltkulturerbestätte, in den Schöpfungsmythen und Sakralgeographien der gegenwärtigen Pueblo- und Navajo-Gruppen spielt, zwei Stämmen mit gegenwärtig konträren politischen Interessen.

description: Amerikanische IndianerInnen sind beständig von Erinnerungsorten der Kolonisierung umgeben. Diese nehmen oft die Form von Denkmälern an, die durch Nachkommen der KolonisatorInnen errichtet wurden, um an heroische Ereignisse zu ‚erinnern‘, während sie die Gräueltaten vergessen, die als Mittel zum Zweck der gewaltsamen Enteignung verübt wurden. Einige ArchäologInnen richten nun ihren kritischen Blick auf solche Erinnerungsräume oder imaginäre Geographien (Edward Said), wie sie im Haudenosaunee-Gebiet (der ‚Irokesen‘) manifest geworden sind und unterstützen damit amerikanische IndianerInnen in ihrem Bestreben, verzerrten Darstellungen ihrer Kolonisierung eigene Erinnerungsräume entgegenzusetzen. Dadurch kann totgeschwiegene oder ignorierte Geschichte erinnert und der Blick umgekehrt werden.
Investigating higgsino dark matter in the semi-constrained NMSSM

description: In this study, we explore the characteristics of higgsino-dominated dark matter (DM) within the semi-constrained Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (scNMSSM), covering a mass range from hundreds of GeV to several TeV. We carefully analyzed the parameter space under existing theoretical and experimental constraints to confirm the viability of higgsino-dominated lightest supersymmetric particles (LSPs) with masses between 100 GeV and 4 TeV. Our study examines various DM annihilation mechanisms, emphasizing the significant role of coannihilation with the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP), which includes other higgsino-dominated particles such as $\tildeχ^{0}_2$ and $\tildeχ^{\pm}_1$. We categorize the annihilation processes into three main classes: $\tildeχ_1^{\pm}$ coannihilation, Higgs funnel annihilation, and $\tildeτ_1$ coannihilation, each combines interactions with $\tildeχ_1^{\pm}$. Our results indicate that achieving the correct relic density in heavier higgsino LSPs requires a combination of coannihilation and Higgs funnel mechanisms. We also assess the potential of future experiments, such as XENONnT, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), PandaX-xT, and the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), to probe these DM scenarios through direct and indirect detection. In particular, future spin-independent DM detection can cover all samples with the correct DM relic density for $μ\gtrsim 1300$ GeV. Furthermore, future colliders like the International Linear Collider (ILC) and the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) are found to exceed the detection capabilities of current hadron colliders, especially for higher mass NLSPs. Notably, CLIC at 3000 GeV is anticipated to thoroughly investigate all samples with insufficient DM relic density for $μ\lesssim 1300$ GeV.

description: Spontaneous combustion of coal is a complex underground mining disaster, which mainly threats mine safety and efficiency. Several factors usually cause spontaneous combustion of coal, such as gas concentration, ventilation and coal properties. In this study, spontaneous combustion tendencies of coal mines were predicted considering the effective parameters for an underground coal mine in Turkey. Multinomial logistic regression, a multivariate statistical technique, was applied. Gas concentrations (CH4, CO, O2) and air velocity were defined as factors affecting spontaneous coal combustion. Fire hazard levels of the coal mines were determined as ‘normal situation’ and ‘potential combustion’. It was observed that CH4 and CO variables and CH4 × CO interaction were effective in the formation of clusters. The results indicate that Mine I is more liable to spontaneous combustion than Mine II and Mine III. At the same time, the effects of variations in factors are examined in the study.

description: In the present work, we construct models of static wormholes within the framework of 4-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4D EGB) gravity an (an)isotropic energy momentum tensor (EMT) and a Maxwell field as supporting matters for the wormhole geometry assuming a constant redshift function. We obtain exact spherically symmetric wormhole solutions in 4D EGB gravity for an isotropic and anisotropic matter sources under the effect of electric charge. The solutions are more generalized in the sense of incorporating the charge contributions. Furthermore, we examine the null, weak and strong energy conditions at the wormhole throat of radius $r=r_{0}$. We demonstrate that at the wormhole throat, the classical energy conditions are violated by arbitrary small amount. Additionally, we analyze the wormhole geometry incorporating semiclassical corrections through embedding diagrams. We discover that the wormhole solutions are in equilibrium as the anisotropic and hydrostatic forces cancel each other.

description: The construction industry is one of the hazardous industries all over the world. There have been continuous safety efforts on post-facto safety investigations and related corrective actions. However, to prevent future accidents, post-facto reports may not be able to provide comprehensive insights. Also, past literature pointed at limited proactive efforts to measure the current level of safety at the project. Therefore, this study introduced a leading indicator-based jobsite safety inspection (JSI) method to measure the project’s safety performance. A total of 781 observations were reported in baseline and follow-up JSI on a real construction site. The study’s findings highlighted an increase in safe behavior and conditions (SB&C) by reducing unsafe behavior (UB) and unsafe conditions (UC). Results confirmed a significant improvement in the safety performance index (SPI) of the case study from 39.07 to 67.47%. This study also investigated hazardous locations and weak safety dimensions for further SPI improvement.

Mapping employee involvement and participation in institutional context: Mick Marchington's applied pluralist contributions to human resource management research methods, theory and policy

description: Our paper examines how the work of Mick Marchington integrated older forms of employee participation with newer patterns of employee involvement. The paper shows how Employee Involvement and Participation ( EIP ) is central to contemporary Human Resource Management ( HRM ) in four distinct ways: first is the ‘theoretical’ integration of pluralism into newer HRM approaches; second is the ‘practical’ insights gained from what was happening at organisational level; third is the contributions to ongoing ‘policy debates’ about fair work; and finally, his emphasis on ‘context-sensitive methods’ link macro, meso and micro developments. We refer to three specific projects and related periods: a Department of Employment funded project during the late 1980s and early 1990s which developed the waves and escalator concepts of EIP; a Chartered Institute of Personnel Development project concerned with employee voice and management choice in the 2000s, which gave insight to multiple meanings of EIP and strategic choice; and research concerned with the notion of fair voice from comparative cases studies across different liberal market economies from 2008 onwards. By reflecting on these research projects and periods we pres?ent a potential framework that offers continued longevity for the future study of HRM.

That is, the commutation/anticommutation rules are defined via the standard boson/fermion rules, but the system still has an underlying $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-grading that needs to be taken into account.

description: The SHALON atmospheric Cherenkov telescope has detected very high energy gamma-ray emission at TeV energies from eight red dwarfs, namely, V388 Cas, V547 Cas, V780 Tau, V962 Tau, V1589 Cyg, GJ 1078, GJ 3684 and GL 851.1. Consequently, these red dwarfs have been suggested as sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. In this work, we search for soft gamma-ray emission from these TeV bright red dwarfs between 0.75-30 MeV using archival data from the COMPTEL gamma-ray imaging telescope, as a follow-up to a similar search for GeV gamma-ray emission using the Fermi-LAT telescope. Although, prima-facie, we detect non-zero photon flux from three red dwarfs with high significance, these signals can attributed to contamination from nearby sources such as Crab and Cygnus, which are within the angular resolution of COMPTEL, and have been previously detected as very bright point sources at MeV energies. Therefore, we could not detect any statistically significant signal ($>3σ$) from any of these eight red dwarfs from 0.75-30 MeV. We then report the 95% confidence level upper limits on the differential photon flux (at 30 MeV), integral photon flux and integral energy flux for all of the eight red dwarfs. The integral energy flux limits range between $10^{-11}-10^{-10} \rm{ergs/cm^2/s}$.

description: The service’s industrialization hatched many researches. It even calls for new disciplines, namely, product-service system, service engineering, service enterprise and service science. These extensive research spectrums use the term Service Ecosystem in different contexts, though there is barely any literature addressing this notion. Further, the emerging Internet technology provides extra facets to the Service Ecosystem. It enables a complex online collaboration that hosts new possibilities and challenges. The recent Internet technology allows the effortless selling and consuming of digital goods. Ironically, in the era of service dominance, we are still not able to do the same with a service product, even though services account for 63.2% of economic value on average of the world GDP. It is anticipated that soon services will become digitally commercialized. The Internet will enable service agents to collaborate in producing value-added services and innovation, i.e., The Internet of Services (IoS). The ecosystem’s diversity raises a communication issue, thus increasing the transaction cost, at a time when the industry needs to compensate for such cost. Therefore, one cannot overlook the advent of a Service Ecosystem in the current fast-paced service economy. How well the actors can adapt and co-evolve in the information-intense service economy will determine their performance in the ecosystem. Subsequently, there are two preliminary issues demanding an answer. First, the notion of Service Ecosystem needs to be understood objectively and uniformly. Second, the current approaches used to overcome the challenges need to be supported. Therefore, an extensive literature research and qualitative analysis as well as study cases were conducted in this thesis. The results of the work are the proposal of a Service Ecosystem theory, validation of the Unified Service Description Language (USDL), and five scenarios applying USDL in the Smart City vision. The substantial notion of Service Ecosystem provides an objective understanding and clarity that can be used in the lateral researches. Subsequently, the positive result of USDL validation as a dialectal mean for IoS will ripen the enabling technologies. Lastly, the five concepts concerning traffic and education problems in Jakarta encourage the broader public to create innovative or practicable use cases. Thus, it may help to amplify the network effect of USDL, expedite its standardization process and accelerate the maturity of the Service Ecosystem.

description: Given a manifold $\mathbb{M}$ admitting a maximally supersymmetric consistent truncation, we show how to formulate new consistent truncations by restricting to a set of Kaluza-Klein modes on $\mathbb{M}$ invariant under some subgroup of the group of isometries of $\mathbb{M}$. These truncations may involve either finite or infinite sets of modes. We provide their global description using exceptional generalised geometry to construct a `deformed' generalised parallelisation starting with that on $\mathbb{M}$. This allows us to explicitly embed known consistent truncations directly into exceptional generalised geometry/exceptional field theory, and to obtain the equations governing situations where the consistent truncation retains an infinite tower of modes.

description: The Province of British Columbia is currently implementing a revised curriculum for the K-12 school system to provide opportunities for schools to reassess and initiate unique and novel learning programs. The Grade 9/10 Reynolds Flexible Studies Program is already a Greater Victoria School District (SD 61) “program of choice,” providing opportunities for students to be engaged with their peers, teachers, community and the environment in meaningful ways. Throughout this case study, I used several data collection methods – surveys, focus groups, and interviews – to glean a detailed understanding of the Flexible Studies Program from the perspectives of parents, teachers and students. Further, I took a phenomenological approach as a participant-observer to attempt to discover what aspects of a flexible learning environment are most meaningful to students, how they experience change throughout the program, and how they engage emotionally, behaviourally and cognitively during the year. A significant outcome of this study is a final synthesis of best practices and insights that constitute a list of recommendations that may be used for developing, designing, communicating and teaching in response to the revised BC curriculum through Flexible Studies Programs.

description: Die Planung des geregelten Warenflusses spielt in der Lagerverwaltung eine bedeutende Rolle. Hierbei muss die Einlagerung sowie die Zusammenstellung der Ware (Kommissionierung) möglichst effizient gestaltet werden, um die Wirtschaftlichkeit des Warenlagers aufrecht zu erhalten. Zeit ist hierbei ein sehr wichtiger Faktor. Eine Indoor-Navigation bzw. Lagernavigation verspricht hierbei beträchtliche Vorteile, da eine Koordination der Laufwege vorgenommen werden kann. Da das weit verbreitete Global Positioning System (GPS) im Gebäude nicht zur Verfügung steht, wird eine neue Möglichkeit gesucht, Indoor-Positionsbestimmungen zu erhalten. iBeacon ist eine junge Technologie der Firma Apple, die auf dem Bluetooth Low Energy Standard aufbaut und für Location-Based-Services vorgesehen ist. "Einsatz von iBeacons in der modernen Lagerverwaltung" beschäftigt sich mit dem Ansatz, mithilfe der iBeacon-Technologie eine möglichst genaue Positionsbestimmung im Gebäude zu erreichen, um eine solide Basis zur Umsetzung der angesprochenen Navigation zu schaffen. Hierzu wird zunächst das Core Location Framework von Apple mit dem Estimote SDK unter Zuhilfenahme von drei verschiedenen Sendeleistungen untersucht und anhand der Signalstreuung und weiteren Indikatoren herausgestellt, welche der beiden unter welcher Sendeleistung qualifiziert für den Einsatz in der Indoor-Positionierung ist. Ferner kann gezeigt werden, wie die empfangene Signalstärke (RSSI) durch die Änderung des Winkels und der Orientierung zum Beacon beeinflusst wird. Es wird deutlich, wie wichtig ein Modell zur Beschreibung der Signalausbreitung ist, um darauf aufbauend den Abstand zwischen Beacon und Empfänger schätzen zu können. Nach der Beschreibung einer mathematischen Lösung zur Positionsbestimmung (Trilateration) werden Testparameter aufgestellt, die sich auf die Genauigkeit einer Positionsschätzung auswirken können. Mithilfe der für iOS implementierten Prototypen werden diese evaluiert und für den Einsatz im Warenlager ausgewertet. Abschließend folgt die Vorstellung eines auf Grundlage der Untersuchungen entwickelten Konzepts für den Einsatz der Technologie im Warenlager, darunter Beaconplatzierung, Kalibrierung, und Interaktion der Navigationssoftware mit dem Benutzer.

description: Millisecond pulsars are subject to accelerations in globular clusters (GCs) that manifest themselves in both the first and second spin period time derivatives, and can be used to explore the mass distribution of the potentials they inhabit. Here we report on over 20 yr of pulsar timing observations of five millisecond radio pulsars in the core of the core-collapse GC NGC 6752 with the Parkes (Murriyang) and MeerKAT radio telescopes, which have allowed us to measure the proper motions, positions, and first and second time derivatives of the pulsars. The pulsar timing parameters indicate that all the pulsars in the core experience accelerations and jerks that can be explained only if an amount of nonluminous mass of at least 2.56x10^3 M_SUN is present in the core of NGC 6752. On the other hand, our studies highly disfavor the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole at the center of the cluster, with a mass equal to or greater than ~3000M_SUN.

description: Isradipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) commonly used as vasodilator with antihypertensive properties. A remote-controlled release formulation for isradipine would substantially improve the clinical outcomes of the patients requiring chronic long-term treatment. In this work, sustained release tablets of isradipine, composed of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), have been produced by wet granulation and their in vitro and in vivo characterization was compared to a conventional tablet dosage form of immediate release as preliminary assessment. Tablets composed of 15.0% (wt/wt) HPMC exhibited a sustained release profile over a period of 24 hours. The release of isradipine followed a Fickian diffusion pattern obeying to the first order kinetics and the extent of absorption was even higher in comparison to the developed conventional tablets, which showed immediate drug release. In vivo studies were carried out in rabbits, showing that the extent of isradipine absorption from the developed tablets was higher in comparison to immediate release tablets due to the modified release profile obtained for the former (p < 0.05). Our results suggest that sustained release tablets of isradipine are an efficient solid dosage form to overcome the limitations encountered in conventional immediate release tablets.
SoC-based Image Classification using Binarized Neural Networks

description: Image classification with artificial neural networks is a field gaining much attention in the last years. Participants of classification competitions like ImageNet are exclusively relying on this technology, like the latest winners AlexNet or ResNet prove. While their classification capabilities even win against human capabilities, the implementations were growing to very deep networks, focusing mainly on classification accuracy and not on processing-speed or the limited availability of computational resources. With artificial neural networks being integrated into modern life, like the usage in smart-assistants, smart-phones or self-driving cars the need to reduce the processing power to compute these networks is growing. One technique to reduce the networks computational complexity is binarization of weights and activations as shown by Courbariaux et al. With weights and activations restricted to the values -1 and 1, the calculation when applying weights to neurons activations can be simplified by replacing floating-point multiplications with the binary XNOR operation. This work refines the theory of binarized neural networks by providing a distributed implementation on an ARM CPU and a FPGA with the usage of the OpenCL framework. While the implementation on a FPGA can directly benefit from the binary logic of the new network type, the ARM core provides easy accessibility to connected peripherals providing the image sources. New concepts for training binarized networks are developed within this thesis, leading to an enormous reduction of training time and therefore, a reduction of real-life production costs. This implementation proves to execute faster than conventional methods on the same hardware, while using less resources and without trading classification accuracy.
