description: Indoor localisation of people and objects has been a focus of research studies for several decades because of its great advantage to several applications. Accuracy has always been a challenge because of the uncertainty of the employed sensors. Several technologies have been proposed and researched, however, accuracy still represents an issue. Today, several sensor technologies can be found in indoor environments, some of which are economical and powerful, such as Wi-Fi. Meanwhile, Smartphones are typically present indoors because of the people that carry them along, while moving about within rooms and buildings. Furthermore, vehicles such as mobility scooters can also be present indoor to support people with mobility impairments, which may be equipped with low-cost sensors, such as wheel encoders. This thesis investigates the localisation of mobility scooters operating indoor. This represents a specific topic as most of today's indoor localisation systems are for pedestrians. Furthermore, accurate indoor localisation of those scooters is challenging because of the type of motion and specific behaviour. The thesis focuses on improving localisation accuracy for mobility scooters and on the use of already available indoor sensors. It proposes a combined use of Wi-Fi, Smartphone IMU and wheel encoders, which represents a cost-effective energy-efficient solution. A method has been devised and a system has been developed, which has been experimented on different environment settings. The outcome of the experiments are presented and carefully analysed in the thesis. The outcome of several trials demonstrates the potential of the proposed solutions in reducing positional errors significantly when compared to the state-of-the-art in the same area. The proposed combination demonstrated an error range of 0.35m - 1.35m, which can be acceptable in several applications, such as some related to assisted living. 3 As the proposed system capitalizes on the use of ubiquitous technologies, it opens up to a potential quick take up from the market, therefore being of great benefit for the target audience.

description: This research investigated applying Artificial Intelegence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to renewable energy through three studies. The first study characterized and mapped the recent research landscape in the field of AI applications for various renewable energy systems using Natural Language Prcoessing (NLP) and ML models. It considered published documetns at Scopus database in the period (2000-2021). The second study built hybrid Catboost-CNN-LSTM architecture pipeline to predict an industrial-scale biogas plant’s daily biogas production and investigate the feedstock components importance on it. The third study investigated prediciting biogas yield of various subtrates and the significance of each organic component (carbohydrates, proteins, fats/lipids, and legnin) in biogas production using hybrid VAE-XGboost model. The first study showed seven main metatopics and ascent of "deep learning (DL)" as a prominent methodology led to an increase in intricate subjects, including the optimization of power costs and the prediction of wind patterns. Also, a growing utilization of DL approaches for the analysis of renewable energy data, particularly in the context of wind and solar photovoltaic systems. The research themes and trends observed in the first study signify substantial recent investments in advanced AI learning techniques. The developed Catboost-CNN-LSTM pipeline achived a significant results and presented a superior approach when compared to previous relevant studies by eliminating the requirement for feature engineering, enabling direct prediction of biogas yield without the need for converting it into a classification task. The VAE-XGboost pipeline could ovcercome data limitation in the field and produced significant results. It has shown that the "fats" category is the most influential group on the methane production in biogas plants, however, “proteins” illustrated the lowest impact on biogas production.

description: The uncertainty of $t\bar{t}$ production cross section measurement at LHC is at a-few-percent level which still allows the stop pair production $\tilde{t}\tilde{t}^{*}$ with identical final states $2b+\ell+nj+{E}_{T}$. In this paper, we attempt to use the existing measurement of $W$-polarization in top quark decay to improve the distinction between stop and top quark states. We apply the ATLAS $χ^2$ method of $W$-polarization measurement in semi-leptonic $t\bar{t}$ final state to semi-leptonic stop pair samples and study its prediction. We find that the faked top events from stop mostly contribute to the left-handed polarized $W$ due to the reconstruction. The benchmark point with maximal contribution to top events only changes $F_{L}$ by 1%. After comparing with the current experiments, we conclude that the current measurement of $W$-polarization in $t$ decay cannot exclude the light stop scenario.

Year: 2023

description: This article introduces an hp‐adaptive multi‐element stochastic collocation method, which additionally allows to re‐use existing model evaluations during either h‐ or p‐refinement. The collocation method is based on weighted Leja nodes. After h‐refinement, local interpolations are stabilized by adding and sorting Leja nodes on each newly created sub‐element in a hierarchical manner. For p‐refinement, the local polynomial approximations are based on total‐degree or dimension‐adaptive bases. The method is applied in the context of forward and inverse uncertainty quantification to handle non‐smooth or strongly localized response surfaces. The performance of the proposed method is assessed in several test cases, also in comparison to competing methods.

description: We propose a theory of optical absorption in monolayer graphene-hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) heterostructures. In highly oriented heterostructures, the hBN underlay produces a long-range moiré superlattice potential for the graphene electrons which modifies the selection rules for absorption of incoming photons in the infrared to visible frequency range. The details of the absorption spectrum modification depend on the relative strength of the various symmetry-allowed couplings between the graphene electrons and the hBN, and the resulting nature of the reconstructed band structure.

description: Whether non-economic factors such as marital happiness and well-being influence the proba- bility of divorce? What if we also consider other factors such as the length of marriage and separation in the long term? I quantitatively measure the economic and non-economic factors that might influence divorce using British Household Panel Study. According to the results of my baseline model, only match qualities matter in predicting the probability of separation. My results also provide some key insights for extensions of this baseline model. The economic and non-economic factors are best at predicting separation that happens within a 3-years time range. And wives’ match qualities have similar effects with the husbands’ when looking at sep- aration hazards in the long run. After controlling for marriage duration, negative match quality received by the husbands will significantly increase divorce hazards, while the reverse is true for wives. Contrary to previous findings, none of the economic factors are significant in my models.
From Taboo to Tourist Attraction: Assisted Suicide in Switzerland
Creators: name: Messmer, Seline
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2021

description: Since ancient Greece, societies have had notions of what constitutes “Euthanasia” (a good death), and if a human life should be ended prematurely to ease suffering and preserve dignity. The codification of a criminal code of law and the debate surrounding this process reveals how the discussion of assisted suicide developed in Switzerland. Discussions reveal private examples brought forth by actors in the legal debate, showing noteworthy trends regarding which individuals should be legally and morally allowed to participate in the practice. The discursive trend also reveals how the Swiss Government has repeatedly argued against federal and local regulation of the practice in their attempt to minimize its involvement, shifting authority over life and death onto private organizations. This paper aims to trace this discussion to show how the practice has developed and attempt to explain why it has developed into a highly unregulated and largely privately organized practice, attracting “tourists” from all over the world.

description: Virginia Military Institute is a state military school with significant historical ties to the Confederacy. As a result of this history, for over 100 years the school’s identity and many of its traditions have been deeply informed by the Lost Cause narrative, the set of beliefs that stated that the Civil War was fought over states’ rights, that the South fought with honor, and that Black people were inherently inferior to whites. In 1968, the Institute was forced to integrate. Those early Black cadets who chose to attend VMI faced unequal and unequivocally racist treatment at the hands of white peers and alumni, as well as an administration clearly apathetic toward such occurrences. Over the course of roughly fifteen years, these Black cadets demanded fair treatment from their fellow cadets and the Institute at large for themselves and other members of Lexington’s Black community. They also forged their own traditions, looking to make VMI a space where they, and later Black cadets, could be represented and celebrated on their own terms.

We show how the modular anomaly equation obeyed by the deformed prepotential can be efficiently used to derive its non-perturbative expression starting from the perturbative one. We also show that the modular anomaly equation implies that S-duality is implemented by means of an exact Fourier transform even for arbitrary values of the deformation parameters, and then we argue that it is possible, perturbatively in the deformation, to choose appropriate variables such that it reduces to a Legendre transform.

description: Ancestral connections to the Ottoman legacy underpin a spate of political concerns in Libya. As the surviving descendants of Ottoman imperial servants, a group of Libyan tribes known as al-Karaghla point to something we might call Ottomanness as an (ambiguous) ethnic legacy. Analyzing social media debates among Karaghla and their compatriots, I argue that these Libyans engage in a rhetorical politics of descent to define the content of the Ottoman legacy and, in turn, enact competing discourses of minority rights, nationalism, and sovereignty. In doing so, I situate Karaghla at the intersection of of regional practices of genealogical claims-making and a wider universe of genealogical and ethnic (especially Turkic) politics in the post-Ottoman world.

subject: forty acres and a mule

description: This paper stages a critique of the existing literature on General William T. Sherman’s Special Field Orders, No. 15, which is commonly referred to as the bygone project of “Forty Acres and a Mule” in the American vernacular. For many in the Black community, in particular, the phrase itself translates as the federal government’s broken promise of debt repayment for centuries of enslavement. A number of scholars have worked to quantify the hundreds of thousands of acres lost to the Jim Crow Era’s legislation of terror to justify monetarily compensating descendants of the enslaved. When read alongside freedom suits and ex-slave pension funds, this iteration of Black reparations emerges as one and the same. To invoke the legacy of “Forty Acres and a Mule,” nowadays, is to make a narrow case for wealth redistribution alone. Recent accounts of this history thus foreclose the opportunity to consider how integral placemaking was to the problem of Black dispossession in the late nineteenth century American South. Many social scientists prefer to characterize recently freed Black people as citizen hopefuls or adherents of Jeffersonian republicanism rather than subsistence farmers disinterested in the politico-economic dictates of liberalism; cultural understandings of what happened in this liminal space are equally as confused. A central, yet overlooked question, is what expansive genealogy this received historical meaning obscures—not just for simplicity’s sake but also for reasons of epistemological efficiency and political pragmatism. How might we reread contemporary invocations of “Forty Acres and a Mule” in such a way that we foreground a communal interest in landed freedom? This paper accounts for the missed opportunity to think alongside the newly emancipated as they imagined collective ways of being beyond racial capitalism’s strictures. In doing so, it takes the loss of land as its starting point.

description: An ongoing debate in ecology concerns the impacts of ecological drift and selection on community assembly. Here, we show that there is a sharp phase transition in diverse ecological communities between a selection dominated regime (the niche phase) and a drift dominated regime (the neutral phase). Simulations and analytic arguments show that the niche phase is favored in communities with large population sizes and relatively constant environments, whereas the neutral phase is favored in communities with small population sizes and fluctuating environments. Our results demonstrate how apparently neutral populations may arise even in communities inhabited by species with varying traits.
Tweeting Insurgency?

Subjects: subject: political violence
subject: social media

description: Social media has come to play an important role in social movements like the Arab Spring, civil society, and contentious politics. Politicians, militants, advocacy groups and leaders have utilized social media as an important platform for communication. Yet, the impact of social media on the politics of insurgencies is not understood too well. I look at the insurgency in Kashmir and make use of Twitter data to understand this neglected phenomenon, and ask: How does social media, specifically Twitter, impact militancy in Kashmir? More specifically, what are the characteristics of this new digitally enabled militancy? Recognizing that social media is increasingly changing and becoming endogenous to the local contexts, I provide a framework for understanding the key mechanisms through which social media affords new possibilities to the landscape of militancy in Kashmir: 1) network formation through low-stakes participation, 2) affect-laden narrative building and 3) potential recruitment. The unexplored data available on Twitter presents a unique opportunity to study the influence of social media on militancy in Kashmir.

description: Under mild assumptions, we remove all traces of the axiom of choice from the construction of the maximal globally hyperbolic Cauchy development in general relativity. The construction relies on the notion of direct union manifolds, which we review. The construction given is very general: any physical theory with a suitable geometric representation (in particular all classical fields), and such that a strong notion of "local existence and uniqueness" of solutions for the corresponding initial value problem is available, is amenable to the same treatment.

description: We calculate the self-force of a constantly accelerating electric dipole, showing, in particular, that classical electromagnetism does not predict that an electric dipole could self-accelerate, nor could it levitate in a gravitational field. We also resolve a paradox concerning the inertial mass of a longitudinally accelerating dipole, showing that the combined system of dipole plus field can be assigned a well-defined energy-momentum four-vector, so that the Principle of Relativity is satisfied. We then present some general features of electromagnetic phenomena in a gravitational field described by the Rindler metric, showing in particular that an observer fixed in a gravitational field described by the Rindler metric will find any charged object supported in the gravitational field to possess an electromagnetic self-force equal to that observed by an inertial observer relative to which the body undergoes rigid hyperbolic motion. It follows that the Principle of Equivalence is satisfied by these systems.

Personhood for the Anthropocene
Creators: name: Salter, Eleanor
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2021

description: This thesis studies one of the most pressing challenges to human existence — climate change and ecological breakdown. It does so by problematising the gaps in responsibility and political awareness of non-human entities that are critical to planetary stability. I explore this rift by leveraging the concept of “personhood” as a potential tool to force political responsibility for vulnerable parts of the ecosystem. This is realised by using a case study: the personhood of phytoplankton, microscopic photosynthesisers that are ubiquitous in our oceans and underpin global food and carbon systems. The result of this theoretical exercise is a more nuanced understanding of the need for political awareness and responsibility for parts of the earth system, and also the limitations of our current political systems to do so.

description: The prevalence rates of eating disorders have been rising, with up to 15% of the Australian population estimated as being affected by an eating disorder of some kind. This is a serious problem as eating disorders have a wide range of associated health risks and can have severe and long-lasting implications for physical and emotional wellbeing. Known risk factors for the development of eating disorders include biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. Media has long been theorised as contributing to eating disorder development through its promotion of thin-oriented beauty ideals, perpetuation of fatphobia, and so on. Despite media being a key player in the dissemination of information and perspectives about mental health, there is comparatively little research on how eating disorders have been represented in media – especially in visual entertainment media. The research presented in this thesis thus centres on the representation of eating disorders in film and television, and pro-anorexic responses to these representations. In this thesis, two research questions were asked: 1) how have eating disorders been represented in film and television; and 2) how did users of a pro-anorexia website and forum interpret, respond to, and interact with representations of eating disorders in film and television? To answer these, a mixed-methods (quantitative and qualitative) approach was adopted. Specifically, basic content analysis was used to quantitatively examine what eating disorder were represented and who was depicted as having an eating disorder, in 79 representations of eating disorders in 32 films and television shows – thus addressing the first research question. Critical discourse analysis was then applied to analyse user discourse on a pro-anorexic discussion forum to garner users’ responses to representations captured in the basic content analysis, resulting in findings relevant to both research questions. Quantitative findings highlighted a dominant stereotype in depictions of EDs in film and television with most portrayals featuring characters that were young, thin, white, female and as having anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. There were notable discrepancies between media representation and eating disorder research which raised concerns about misrepresentation. The qualitative results further supported these findings, whilst providing additional insights into the various ways that users of pro-anorexia forums – often actively and critically – interpreted and engaged with representations of eating disorders. It will ultimately be argued that existing representations of eating disorders are problematic and may have some concerning implications. Several avenues for potentially improving future representation will be discussed.

description: Extrusion-based 4D-printing, which is an emerging field within additive manufacturing, has enabled the technical transfer of bioinspired self-shaping mechanisms by emulating the functional morphology of motile plant structures (e.g., leaves, petals, capsules). However, restricted by the layer-by-layer extrusion process, much of the resulting works are simplified abstractions of the pinecone scale’s bilayer structure. This paper presents a new method of 4D-printing by rotating the printed axis of the bilayers, which enables the design and fabrication of self-shaping monomaterial systems in cross sections. This research introduces a computational workflow for programming, simulating, and 4D-printing differentiated cross sections with multilayered mechanical properties. Taking inspiration from the large-flowered butterwort (Pinguicula grandiflora), which shows the formation of depressions on its trap leaves upon contact with prey, we investigate the depression formation of bioinspired 4D-printed test structures by varying each depth layer. Cross-sectional 4D-printing expands the design space of bioinspired bilayer mechanisms beyond the XY plane, allows more control in tuning their self-shaping properties, and paves the way toward large-scale 4D-printed structures with high-resolution programmability.

description: Photons are a penetrating probe of the hot medium formed in heavy-ion collisions, but they are emitted from all collision stages. At photon energies below 2-3 GeV, the measured photon spectra are approximately exponential and can be characterized by their inverse logarithmic slope, often called "effective temperature" $T_\mathrm{eff}$. Modelling the evolution of the radiating medium hydrodynamically, we analyze the factors controlling the value of $T_\mathrm{eff}$ and how it is related to the evolving true temperature $T$ of the fireball. We find that at RHIC and LHC energies most photons are emitted from fireball regions with $T{\,\sim\,}T_\mathrm{c}$ near the quark-hadron phase transition, but that their effective temperature is significantly enhanced by strong radial flow. Although a very hot, high pressure early collision stage is required for generating this radial flow, we demonstrate that the experimentally measured large effective photon temperatures $T_\mathrm{eff}{\,>\,}T_\mathrm{c}$, taken alone, do not prove that any electromagnetic radiation was actually emitted from regions with true temperatures well above $T_\mathrm{c}$. We explore tools that can help to provide additional evidence for the relative weight of photon emission from the early quark-gluon and late hadronic phases. We find that the recently measured centrality dependence of the total thermal photon yield requires a larger contribution from late emission than presently encoded in our hydrodynamic model.

description: Pseudoanalytic function theory is considered to study a two-dimensional supersymmetric quantum mechanics system. Hamiltonian components of the superhamiltonian are factorized in terms of one Vekua and one Bers derivative operators. We show that imaginary and real solutions of a Vekua equation and its Bers derivative are ground state solutions for the superhamiltonian. The two-dimensional Darboux and pseudo-Darboux transformations correspond to Bers derivatives in the complex plane. Results on the completeness of the ground states are obtained. Finally, superpotential is studied in the separable case in terms of transmutation operators. We show how Hamiltonian components of the superhamiltonian are related to the Laplacian operator using these transmutation operators.

description: This deliverable reports the exploitation activities carried out by BigDataStack partners during the second period of the project and the achievements in terms of exploitation and commercialization of the BigDataStack project. During the project lifetime, twenty-one exploitable assets have been identified, eight Minimum Valuable Products (MVP), as well as three exploitable business Use Cases. Also, three patents have arisen, and a technology transfer activity is in progress. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic situation, all exploitation activities have been properly performed. All the partners have developed their exploitation plans after the project, the partners have also already achieved remarkable exploitation results during the project, such as: commercialization of Data Skipping component by IBM and the Kuryr and Infrastructure API by RHT, Use Case partners are trying to leverage the use cases prototypes with their customers, most partners are already participating together in several Research & Development (R&D) projects to jointly exploit their Software (SW) components and BigDataStack has contributed actively to Open Source (OS) communities. Different exploitation activities have been organized in the second period of the project among partners as well as with external stakeholders. Among them, a remote workshop to discuss the exploitable assets and identifying the MVPs and two templates regarding exploitation aspects of the components have been filled in by partners, and finally, a discussion panel with big data experts organized within the EBDVF20201 event to present BigDataStack outcomes and gather feedback on the adoption of BigDataStack results. Additionally, BigDataStack Consortium has laid the ground for the sustainability of the project and the involvement of project partners after the project, by joining to the BDVA Innovation Marketplace2 and the EOSC-DIH3.
Evaluating the impact of hypnotic suggestion on implicit biases: an age implicit association test study

description: Van Dessel and De Houwer (2019) found evidence to indicate that, in some instances, hypnosis can lead to reduced measures of implicit bias. However, I argue that their departures from standard hypnosis paradigms limit their ability to draw meaningful conclusions concerning the unique role of hypnotic suggestion in this reduction. Given the theoretical significance of their results, I aimed to conceptually replicate their findings across two studies that explored the capacity of hypnosis to moderate implicit beliefs as measured through performance on an Age Implicit Association Test (A-IAT). In Study 1, high (N = 27) and low (N = 15) hypnotizable student participants completed an A-IAT at baseline, following a hypnotic suggestion, and 24 hours later. Reductions of the IAT effect were observed in both highs and lows, indicating that the reduction was a product of the suggestion rather than an effect of hypnosis. To test the generalizability of this result, a second study was conducted with participants from the general population. In Study 2, participants (N = 132) completed an A-IAT at baseline and following a hypnotic suggestion. Evidence suggested that there were performance-related differences between the high and low groups, although an analysis of trial RTs indicated that this result was caused by an IAT artifact rather than an effect of the hypnotic suggestion. I conclude that theories of hypnosis which do not allow for hypnosis to impact implicit beliefs can still explain performance in an IAT paradigm. The potential of online hypnosis is also discussed.
