description: Autonomous service robots share social spaces with humans, usually working together for domestic or professional tasks. Cyber security breaches in such robots undermine the trust between humans and robots. In this paper, we investigate how to apprehend and inflict security threats at the design and implementation stage of a movable autonomous service robot. To this end, we leverage the idea of directed fuzzing and design RoboFuzz that systematically tests an autonomous service robot in line with the robot's states and the surrounding environment. The methodology of RoboFuzz is to study critical environmental parameters affecting the robot's state transitions and subject the robot control program with rational but harmful sensor values so as to compromise the robot. Furthermore, we develop detection and mitigation algorithms to counteract the impact of RoboFuzz. The difficulties mainly lie in the trade-off among limited computation resources, timely detection and the retention of work efficiency in mitigation. In particular, we propose detection and mitigation methods that take advantage of historical records of obstacles to detect inconsistent obstacle appearances regarding untrustworthy sensor values and navigate the movable robot to continue moving so as to carry on a planned task. By doing so, we manage to maintain a low cost for detection and mitigation but also retain the robot's work efficacy. We have prototyped the bundle of RoboFuzz, detection and mitigation algorithms in a real-world movable robot. Experimental results confirm that RoboFuzz makes a success rate of up to 93.3% in imposing concrete threats to the robot while the overall loss of work efficacy is merely 4.1% at the mitigation mode.

description: Die Diplomarbeit "Virtuelle (Re-)Konstruktion der Synagoge Innsbruck nach den Plänen von Franz Baumann" behandelt einen Entwurf, den der Tiroler Architekt Franz Baumann (1892-1974) im Jahre 1930 für die Israelitische Kultusgemeinde in Innsbruck erstellte, welcher aber nie verwirklicht wurde. Gegenwärtig befinden sich in Franz Baumanns Nachlass nur drei Grundrisse, zwei Schnitte, ein Lageplan, zwei Perspektiven und einige Skizzen. Gerade weil sich die verfügbaren Unterlagen in Grenzen halten und nicht vollständig übereinstimmen, wurden sie mit äußerster Sorgfalt behandelt, um den Entwurf so detailgetreu wiedergeben zu können wie möglich. Eine Erweiterung der Unterlagen mit Detailplänen und Erkenntnissen aus dem weiteren Werk des Architekten ist mit Vorsicht zu genießen, da Baumann nicht auf Standardlösungen zurückgreift, sondern jedem Projekt seine eigene Sprache gibt. Dennoch gibt es zwei verwirklichte Gebäude, die der Synagoge sehr ähnlich sind (Hauptschule Hötting, Haus Ortner) und für Details herangezogen wurden. Die Arbeit endet mit der Darstellung ähnlicher Gestaltungen aus Baumanns Werk, mit der Absicht eine Art "Welt aufzubauen", in der Baumann agierte. Die Rekonstruktion erfolgte im 3D-Modell mit der Software ArchiCAD.
description: The thesis "Virtual (Re-)Construction of the Synagogue in Innsbruck by the Plans of Franz Baumann" covers a design by the Tyrolean architect Franz Baumann (1892-1974) in the year 1930 for the Jewish Community in Innsbruck, which was never realized. At present only the following can be found in Baumann`s estate: three floor plans, two sections, a site plan, two perspective drawings and a few sketches. Because of these limited resources (which are even contradictory at some points), the reconstruction was performed with due diligence, so that the design can be rendered faithfully. Enhancing the resources with details and plans from the architect`s other buildings must be done with caution, for Baumann didn`t make use of standardized solutions but instead found an individual expression for each project. Nevertheless, he realized two buildings which are very similar to the design of the synagogue and can be consulted in the search for details: a public school in Hötting and the house "Ortner", which are both found in Innsbruck. The presentation of Baumann`s similar designs closes the thesis with the intention to show the "world" in which Baumann built. The reconstruction itself took place in a 3D-model with the software ArchiCAD.
title: A Study of Seven Looked After Primary School Children
Creators: name: Horsburgh, Jacqueline Janet
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: This study explores the experiences of seven looked after children in two Scottish primary schools. The rationale behind this study is that if looked after children could be supported effectively during their time in primary school then they may be more likely to remain engaged with secondary school and increase their chances of educational success. Literature on looked after children has tended to highlight the barriers they experience in education. This thesis examines ways in which these barriers may be overcome. The main research question asked is: ‘What practices and approaches might be used to support looked after children to engage in learning?’ Subsidiary questions explore how looked after children are regarded by teachers, including the impact that the term ‘looked after’ may have on expectations, and what looked after children are able to tell us about the support they find most helpful. This dissertation draws on socio-cultural theories of learning in order to identify perceptions underpinning support provided to looked after children. The wider theoretical framework incorporates resilience, inclusion, collaborative learning and children’s voice. This qualitative research utilises case study methods. It explores data gathered from looked after children (N=12), their carers (N=6) including, relatives, foster carers and staff in a children’s home and school staff (N=10) comprising teachers, support staff and members of school management teams. Through the use of individual case studies an insight is offered into the support needs of a small group of looked after children. The main findings reveal that practitioners provide support in diverse ways. However, a common theme permeating the findings is the importance of establishing relationships prior to considering appropriate materials or programmes. In addition, the views of children captured in this study emphasise the importance of supporting the development of agency in those who are looked after. The conclusions presented include recommendations for a change in focus of staff development activities for those supporting looked after children.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The aim of this article is to analyse changes in quantity and quality of the Lower Silesian Province agriculture labour resources against the background of national tendencies. Materials and methods: The research based on statistics covered the years 1999-2014 including prediction until 2020. The author’s own research carried out on the group of 282 responders in 2013 served the purpose of evaluating the level of farming culture. Results: It was proved, that the number of working-age men in the examined region was increasing much faster than in Poland which led to increase in agricultural labour resources and with that, to hidden unemployment. Lower Silesian farmers are characterized by general and agricultural education of higher degree than Polish average level. Though, it did not translate into entrepreneurship rates. Conclusions: The research proved that the education had a significant impact on the level of farming culture.

description: The c=1 Liouville theory has received some attention recently as the Euclidean version of an exact rolling tachyon background. In an earlier paper it was shown that the bulk theory can be identified with the interacting c=1 limit of unitary minimal models. Here we extend the analysis of the c=1-limit to the boundary problem. Most importantly, we show that the FZZT branes of Liouville theory give rise to a new 1-parameter family of boundary theories at c=1. These models share many features with the boundary Sine-Gordon theory, in particular they possess an open string spectrum with band-gaps of finite width. We propose explicit formulas for the boundary 2-point function and for the bulk-boundary operator product expansion in the c=1 boundary Liouville model. As a by-product of our analysis we also provide a nice geometric interpretation for ZZ branes and their relation with FZZT branes in the c=1 theory.

description: Detection mechanisms for low mass bosonic dark matter candidates, such the axion or hidden photon, leverage potential interactions with electromagnetic fields, whereby the dark matter (of unknown mass) on rare occasion converts into a single photon. Current dark matter searches operating at microwave frequencies use a resonant cavity to coherently accumulate the field sourced by the dark matter and a near standard quantum limited (SQL) linear amplifier to read out the cavity signal. To further increase sensitivity to the dark matter signal, sub-SQL detection techniques are required. Here we report the development of a novel microwave photon counting technique and a new exclusion limit on hidden photon dark matter. We operate a superconducting qubit to make repeated quantum non-demolition measurements of cavity photons and apply a hidden Markov model analysis to reduce the noise to 15.7 dB below the quantum limit, with overall detector performance limited by a residual background of real photons. With the present device, we perform a hidden photon search and constrain the kinetic mixing angle to $ε\leq 1.68 \times 10^{-15}$ in a band around 6.011 GHz (24.86 $μ$eV) with an integration time of 8.33 s. This demonstrated noise reduction technique enables future dark matter searches to be sped up by a factor of 1300. By coupling a qubit to an arbitrary quantum sensor, more general sub-SQL metrology is possible with the techniques presented in this work.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The article presents the complexity of the transaction costs and their impact on institutions supporting employment of the people with disabilities in Poland. As a measure of the unwanted costs, lost benefits in the form of not received public income on account of shared and used concessions, endowments, exemptions for employers of people with disabilities were assumed. Materials and methods: An example of the lost benefits was presented on the grounds of State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons and the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy data. In the article, the method of description and financial analysis was applied. Results: All forms of public aid, being the support of employers of people with disabilities, require legislative actions, additional work of administration bodies, monitoring, PFRON (State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons), levies collection system adjustments (thus a tax system), which constitute the total coordination costs of the chosen economic policy, that is transaction costs. Conclusions: The analysis carried out indicates on the one hand the complexity of the institutional solutions for supporting the employment of people with disabilities, what provokes thoughts about the need to rationalize the institution of grants for entrepreneurs, labour law and occupational rehabilitation, on the other hand the sensitivity of the system supporting employment institutions to changes which occur in other institutions and in the environment.

description: FIGURES 12, 29, 69 TYPE-LOCALITY.— Rancho Grande, Maracay, Venezuela. TYPE-SPECIMENS.—The holotype male is in MHNP. Two male paratypes: JNeg, 1; USNM, 1. DESCRIPTION.—Form: As in X. strigosus, but easily distinguished from that species and all others in the group by the long carinae of the pronotum. Color: Head and body dark piceous, almost black; pronotum and elytra shiny and slightly iridescent; appendages testaceous or slightly infuscated. Head: Broad between eyes; frontal furrows short and deeply impressed; eyes medium-sized and slightly prominent. Pronotum (Figure 12): Transverse (W/L, x 1.56; range, 1.45-1.58; 3 specimens); lateral setigerous pores at hind angles only (see Remarks); laterobasal carina well developed, extended to apical half of pronotum; hind angles about 90°; side margins explanate throughout, more so in basal half, and straight or slightly incurved at basal third. Elytra: Striae 1-4 slightly impressed, at least in basal half, 5-8 effaced, those present unevenly punctulate; side margins explanate; humeral projection well developed, obtuse; chaetotaxy as in X. gruti ; plica small, evident externally. Microsculpture: As in X. gruti . Secondary sexual characters: Male genitalia (Figure 29) characteristic of the species group. Female unknown. Size: Three specimens: length, 3.4—3.7 mm; width, 1.6-1.7 mm. NATURAL HISTORY.— Unknown. LOCALITY RECORDS (Figure 69).—I have seen three specimens from the following locality: SOUTH AMERICA: VENEZUELA: Rancho Grande, Maracay (MHNP, JNeg, USNM ). REMARKS.—Although the three known specimens do not possess the anterior pair of lateral setigerous pores, it is possible that this condition is variable. It is also possible that the longer carina of the pronotum effects the absence of a setigerous pore, making this the only species of the group without pores but with a longer carina.

The body as a site of resistance and enactment of collective memories and trauma : an exploratory study in Chile
Creators: name: Soto, Adriana Espinoza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The long-term psychosocial traumatic effects of 17 years of military dictatorship on Chilean society represents an ongoing challenge regarding the reconstruction of democracy, but also the emotional healing of people affected by these psychosocial traumas. However, the embodied collective responses by people affected by political repression and the prevailing impunity represent a new and unexplored field. Using A Liberation Action Research Method and An Embodied Participatory Narrative Method this exploratory study investigates the use of the body as a site of resistance and collective memories by HIJOS, a group of adult children whose parents were executed or detained and "disappeared" by agents of the military dictatorship in Chile. It also focuses on the meaning they make of these practices of resistance and memory through the implementation of a series of creative workshops. Finally, the study explores the therapeutic value of these workshops that involve the use of artistic expressions such as narrative, theater of the oppressed techniques, and collage making. The study identified the symbolic effects of State repression and violence on the participants and their families, which suggests that practices of memory and resistance developed as a social response to confront the destruction of the individual and the social body. Furthermore, the study identifies that the disappearance, killing, and political invisibility experienced by the parents has been internalized by the participants as a form of social invisibility. Consequently, invisibility appears as a direct outcome of these disappearances and killings, the prevailing impunity regarding these issues, the lack of political will of the current government in addressing human rights issues and justice, and the promoting of the social validation of those directly affected. This study begins to address the need to explore the embodied individual and collective meaning of social responses to psychosocial trauma, and the role of impunity in the transmission and retraumatization processes. It also provides relevant information for the development of therapeutic, pedagogical, and psychoeducational material and interventions. Finally, it challenges traditional notions of trauma while at the same time emphazising the need to contextualize trauma as part of social and historical processes.

description: Following a strictly geometric approach we construct globally supersymmetric scalar field theories on the supersphere, defined as the quotient space $S^{2|2} = UOSp(1|2)/\mathcal{U}(1)$. We analyze the superspace geometry of the supersphere, in particular deriving the invariant vielbein and spin connection from a generalization of the left-invariant Maurer-Cartan form for Lie groups. Using this information we proceed to construct a superscalar field action on $S^{2|2}$, which can be decomposed in terms of the component fields, yielding a supersymmetric action on the ordinary two-sphere. We are able to derive Lagrange equations and Noether's theorem for the superscalar field itself.

title: Playful behaviour in relation to family group activity in polecats (Mustelidae)
Creators: name: Bunnell, Toni
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1982

description: Five family groups of polecat/ferrets and one group of albino ferrets have been studied over a period of 5 years. Consistent individual differences were found to exist regarding the number of play attacks and play initiations delivered and performance in agility tests. The animals which showed the highest tendency to initiate play also showed the highest tendency to perpetuate it, attacked at a higher rate and spent more time out of the nest, both during peak activity periods and following their completion. The more playful animals also showed a tendency to play together more, choice of partners being dependent on relative availability and playfulness of other animals. The results of this study suggest that in polecat/ferrets play functions mainly as a mechanism for helping develop and maintain social bonds between juveniles. Size (weight) was found to be a factor related to certain behavioural attributes which were closely correlated/ranked with each other, namely, play, exploration and agility. The heavier animals were found to play more, be more active and also more agile.

description: Alternative methods to calculate neutron capture cross sections on radioactive nuclei are reported using the theory of Inclusive Non-Elastic Breakup (INEB) developed by Hussein and McVoy [1]. The statistical coupled-channels theory proposed in Ref. [2] is further extended in the realm of random matrices. The case of reactions with the projectile and the target being two-cluster nuclei is also analyzed and applications are made for scattering from a deuteron target [3]. An extension of the theory to a three-cluster projectile incident on a two-cluster target is also discussed. The theoretical developments described here should open new possibilities to obtain information on the neutron capture cross sections of radioactive nuclei using indirect methods.

description: We show that Franck-Condon physics leads to a significant current suppression at low bias voltages (termed Franck-Condon blockade) in transport through single molecules with strong coupling between electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom. We find that transport in this regime is characterized by remarkably large Fano factors ($10^2$--$10^3$), which arise due to avalanche-like transport of electrons. Avalanches occur in a self-similar manner over a wide range of time scales, as reflected in power-law dependences of the current noise on frequency and vibrational relaxation rate.

description: We have studied the shock-induced phase transition from fullerite to a dense amorphous carbon phase by tight-binding molecular dynamics. For increasing hydrostatic pressures P, the C60-cages are found to polymerise at P<10 GPa, to break at P~40 GPa and to slowly collapse further at P>60 GPa. By contrast, in the presence of additional shear stresses, the cages are destroyed at much lower pressures (P<30 GPa). We explain this fact in terms of a continuum model, the snap-through instability of a spherical shell. Surprisingly, the relaxed high-density structures display no intermediate-range order.

The aim of the paper is to explore the role of local leader and social capital in the process of organic the farming development in selected geographical area. Materials and methods: The research is based on both the analysis of existing data and the results of the study (Individual In-depth Interviews - IDIs and Focus Group Interview - FGI) carried out in 2016 with organic farmers and organic farming stakeholders incl. representatives of local government and non-governmental organizations. Results: The study shows a positive correlation between high level of social capital and a strong sector of organic farming. The key significance is given to a local leader activity. Conclusions: The development of a close network of social relations between organic farmers, and between organic farmers and their environment (representatives of local government and non-governmental organizations) determines the development of a strong sector of organic farming in the area. An important condition for the organic farming development is also recognition of this type of resources by the local authorities.

description: The optimization of the observation schedule of gamma-ray emitters by the new generation of Cherenkov Telescopes to extract cosmological parameters from the measurement of the Gamma Ray Horizon at different redshifts is discussed. It is shown that improvements over 30% in the expected cosmological parameter uncertainties can be achieved if instead of equal-observation time, dedicated observation schedules are applied.

Dynamics of monatomic liquids

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a theory of the dynamics of monatomic liquids built on two basic ideas: (1) The potential surface of the liquid contains three classes of intersecting nearly-harmonic valleys, one of which (the ``random'' class) vastly outnumbers the others and all whose members have the same depth and normal mode spectrum; and (2) the motion of particles in the liquid can be decomposed into oscillations in a single many-body valley, and nearly instantaneous inter-valley transitions called transits. We review the thermodynamic data which led to the theory, and we discuss the results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of sodium and Lennard-Jones argon which support the theory in more detail. Then we apply the theory to problems in equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, and we compare the results to experimental data and MD simulations. We also discuss our work in comparison with the QNM and INM research programs and suggest directions for future research.

description: Existe un gran potencial para la acuicultura en la region del Caribe, principalmente en Puerto Rico, Haiti y Repùblica Dominicana. Esta alternativa ayudaria a aumentar la produccion pesquera de esta region ya que las pesquerias nacionales no han podido satisfacer la alta demanda de consumo. En Puerto Rico se importa aproximadamente del 90 al 95% de los productos pesqueros que se consumen localmente. A pesar del potencial que existe, el desarrollo de la acuicultura en las islas caribenas ha sido relativamente lento debido, principalmente, al alto costo energético, limitado suministro de agua, escasos recursos de tierras disponibles para los proyectos acuicolas, escasos recursos de tierras disponibles, limitation de materiales necesarios para la actividad, escasez de semillas de las especies cultivadas, altos costos de construction y mano de obra y un sistema de permisos complejos. Por estas razones, el desarrollo de la acuicultura debe dirigirse a sistemas de cultivo que maximizen el uso de los terrenos, el agua y el capital que se invierta en el proyecto. Los policultivos representan una alternativa viable que cumple con los requisitos anteriormente mencionados. El uso de policultivos ofrece mayor eficiencia en el uso de los estanques de cultivo, mayor estabilidad ecolôgica, aumento en la production total del estanque, poco aumento en las labores de manejo si se compara con los monocultivos, disminuye el factor de conversion alimentaria, reduce costos de alimentation, mejora la calidad del agua y contribuye a la estabilidad de precios en el mercado, entre otros factores. En esta presentation se discute el desarrollo del policultivo en Puerto Rico, incluyendo las especies utilizadas, sus beneftcios, precio de venta y su posible aplicaciôn a otros paises caribenos.

description: Por lo general, las comunidades rurales en Puerto Rico carecen de oportunidades de desarrollo econômico debido a su aislamiento geogrâfico. No obstante cuentan con los recursos humanos y naturales con el potencial para establecer empresas en acuicultura. A pesar de esto, su conocimiento y destrezas técnicas y empresariales es limitado o ninguno. Tampoco cuentan con el acceso econômico para contratar servicios privados de asesoria en estas âreas. El Centro de Investigation y Desarrollo de la Acuicultura Comercial en Puerto Rico (CIDACPR) llevô a cabo un estudio de necesidad y conveniencia con el cual disenô y puso en efecto un modulo educativo en acuicultura especialmente disenado para atender las necesidades de Ios agricultores y las comunidades rurales. Los esfuerzos del programa piloto estaban dirigidos a atender los problemas mâs apremiantes de la region mediante un programa educativo innovador que les colocara en una mejor position competitiva de cara al proximo siglo. El mismo incorpora los hallazgos mâs recientes de las investigaciones realizadas en acuicultura con una amplia variedad de actividades y berraminetas de capacitaciôn taies como seminarios, talleres, adiestramientos teôrico-prâcticos, actividades de extension y asesoramiento empresarial. El CIDACPR se estableciô como meta promover y desarrollar destrezas en métodos y técnicas sobre acuicultura que contribuyeran a mejorar la condition socio-econômica y la calidad de vida de esta region. Para alcanzar la misma el Centro aglutinô esfuerzos con agendas publicas y privadas, extensionistas, educadores y cientificos investigadores del Departamento de Ciencias Marinas del Recinto Universitario de Mayagüez de la Universidad de Puerto Rico. En la actualidad el Centro se encuentra evaluarido toda la information recopilada que permita medir el impacto del proyecto piloto en términos de las fortalezas, debilidades y lecciones apredidas que viabilicen enmiendas para ajustar el modulo, de ser necesario, a las particularidades de las comunidades rurales en Puerto Rico.
title: A comparative study of pre- and post-famine migrants from north-west Ireland to North America
Creators: name: Mageean, Deidre M.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1989

description: A computer database of detailed information on 23,753 emigrants who sailed from the port of Derry in the northwest of Ireland was constructed, using Customs and ship passenger records that together spanned the years 1803- 1867, though not continuously. This information was used to trace changes in the origins of the emigrants, their age and sex distribution, their occupational backgrounds, their destinations, and in how they paid for their fare.

 Analysis showed that that the profile of emigration changed from emigration of mainly young, unattached males in the early part of the century to family migration during the Famine years, subsequently changing to emigration of equal numbers of males and females, mostly as young adults. Major differences found between the emigrant populations who sailed for Canada and the United States respectively were related to the cost of fares and the extent of assistance to emigrate. Pre-paid fares were found to be very significant, especially during the Famine years. Until the early 1860s the majority of the emigrants were from the more affluent, fertile areas of the north-west. Both the pattern of pre-paid fares and the concentration of the emigrants' origins were closely related to the migration tradition within the area. This tradition, dating back to the eighteenth century, helped create a migration mentality, promoted subsequent emigration, and gave rise to the pre-payment of fares by earlier emigrants.

 Although the Famine had a major impact on the area, it was not the instigator of mass migration from the northwest. The demise of the linen trade and associated economic crises were more important in this respect. The response to population pressure and economic crises varied within the region as well as with time.
