description: Heavy-ion collisions undergo various stages in their evolution and it is crucial to disentangle the initial- and final-stage effects. In this work, we report measurements of two types of observables: (i) charge-dependent directed flow ($Δv_1$), which is sensitive to the initial ultra-strong electromagnetic fields, and (ii) flow correlations, such as $r_n (η)$ which is sensitive to the initial longitudinal de-correlation, and correlations among flow harmonics. These measurements contribute to constraining the initial state of the collisions, and through a comprehensive beam energy scan, we gain significant insights into the system evolution in the presence of initial spatial asymmetry and electromagnetic fields.

description: We study the following preferential attachment variant of the classical Erdos-Renyi random graph process. Starting with an empty graph on n vertices, new edges are added one-by-one, and each time an edge is chosen with probability roughly proportional to the product of the current degrees of its endpoints (note that the vertex set is fixed). We determine the asymptotic size of the giant component in the supercritical phase, confirming a conjecture of Pittel from 2010. Our proof uses a simple method: we condition on the vertex degrees (of a multigraph variant), and use known results for the configuration model.

description: The evolution of agriculture in the future will be shaped by its response to climate change. This paper analyzes the vicious spiral between climate change impacts, agricultural practices and adaptation choices in order to address the residual risk of maladaptation to climate change. The paper argues the ecosystem-based investment in water management to increase the resilience of agricultural development and stimulate sustainable management of natural resources; the climate-smart agriculture technologies to boost adaptive capacity, food security, and contribute to climate change mitigation at all farming systems levels and finally the integrated, multidimensional security consideration and improvement of the Water, energy and food security nexus. The analysis suggests that in order to achieve the resilience and adaptations against climate change, agricultural policies should shift from maximizing agricultural output to the consideration of the synergy between ecosystems, the promotion of the nexus food water energy and the concrete involvement of all concerned stakeholders.

description: In semantic segmentation, accurate prediction masks are crucial for downstream tasks such as medical image analysis and image editing. Due to the lack of annotated data, few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) performs poorly in predicting masks with precise contours. Recently, we have noticed that the large foundation model segment anything model (SAM) performs well in processing detailed features. Inspired by SAM, we propose FSS-SAM to boost FSS methods by addressing the issue of inaccurate contour. The FSS-SAM is training-free. It works as a post-processing tool for any FSS methods and can improve the accuracy of predicted masks. Specifically, we use predicted masks from FSS methods to generate prompts and then use SAM to predict new masks. To avoid predicting wrong masks with SAM, we propose a prediction result selection (PRS) algorithm. The algorithm can remarkably decrease wrong predictions. Experiment results on public datasets show that our method is superior to base FSS methods in both quantitative and qualitative aspects.

description: In distributed synthesis, we generate a set of process implementations that, together, accomplish an objective against all possible behaviors of the environment. A lot of recent work has focussed on systems with causal memory, i.e., sets of asynchronous processes that exchange their causal histories upon synchronization. Decidability results for this problem have been stated either in terms of control games, which extend Zielonka's asynchronous automata by partitioning the actions into controllable and uncontrollable, or in terms of Petri games, which extend Petri nets by partitioning the tokens into system and environment players. The precise connection between these two models was so far, however, an open question. In this paper, we provide the first formal connection between control games and Petri games. We establish the equivalence of the two game models based on weak bisimulations between their strategies. For both directions, we show that a game of one type can be translated into an equivalent game of the other type. We provide exponential upper and lower bounds for the translations. Our translations make it possible to transfer and combine decidability results between the two types of games. Exemplarily, we translate decidability in acyclic communication architectures, originally obtained for control games, to Petri games, and decidability in single-process systems, originally obtained for Petri games, to control games.

Explicit formulas are developed, using multivariate Appell hypergeometric functions, for the velocity induced by a general parabolic vortex segment. The formulas are derived by constructing a particular pencil of elliptic curves whose period integrals provide the solution to the induced velocity. We use numerical integration and a perturbation expansion to evaluate the validity of our formulas.

description: The intensification of drought conditions across North-Western Africa is one of the most expected consequences of anthropogenic global warming. However, the effects of 1.5-3 °C policy-relevant global warming on soil moisture drought events remain unknown at the catchment scale. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of these events across four semi-arid catchments in Southern Morocco. We use soil moisture simulation from an ensemble of four Land Surface Models (LSMs) forced with bias-adjusted climate projections from four Global Climate Models (GCMs) under three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs 2.6, 6.0, and 8.5). The ensemble projects an unprecedented increase in drought events duration, persistence, and severity, driven by global warming intensification, across all catchments. Under 3 °C global warming, which is the current track, these catchments are projected to experience decades-long (up to 20 years) mega-droughts compared to a maximum drought duration of 7 years under 1.5 °C and 11 months in the historical period (1971-2000). This intensification is accompanied by an increase in drought persistence and order of magnitude (12-16x) of historical drought severity. Under these conditions, a strong increase in aridity, especially in winter and spring, from 9-11 mm under 1.5 °C to 17-22 mm is projected under 3 °C global warming. Given these large changes, historical drought extremes might be considered the new normal conditions in the future. For these reasons, further assessments are needed more urgently than ever to investigate the impact of these extreme events on society and evaluate possible mitigation strategies in the context of uncertainty to provide reliable information to minimize the negative effects of these events.

Speleothem-based paleoclimate research in South Morocco: Interest and perspectives

Publisher: name: Frontiers in Science and Engineering
Year: 2022
Subjects: Speleothems, Paleoclimate, NAO, Monsoon, African Humid Period

description: Paleoclimate information is still lacking in key regions to understand the functioning of some of the main components of Earth’s climate system. In NW Africa, the use of speleothems as a natural archive of past environmental and climate change gained considerable interest during recent years. From South Morocco, the published speleothem records constitute the only terrestrial paleoclimate information, which spans the Holocene with a high resolution. A multi-proxy speleothem record fromIfoulki cave in SW Morocco indicates relatively dry conditions during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA), wetter conditions during the second part of the Little Ice Age (LIA), and a trend towards dry conditions during the current warm period. The local climate variability was modulated by the combined influence of both the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and the interactions with the Sahara Low which influenced the moisture flow from the Atlantic Ocean during the last 1000 years. Another multi-speleothem δ18O from Wintimdouine cave in SW Morocco provides evidence of increased moisture during the mid‐Holocene, coincident with the northernmost expansion of the West African Summer Monsoon (WASM) during the African Humid Period (AHP). The discrepancies with speleothem records from Northern Morocco indicate that the High‐Atlas Mountains might have established a topographic barrier to the farther expansion of the WASM fringe. The paleoclimate information from South Morocco is still limited to the Holocene, whereas speleothems from the region have a promising potential to span the past climate change throughout the Pleistocene with a high resolution.

description: This talk, held at the Research Data Day Bremen 2024, shows some lessons learned from the creation and management of FAIR metadata in two recent field research projects, RoBivaL and DeeperSense, at the DFKI Robotics Innovation Center. It is based on a recent Journal paper and a previous Conference Presentation. The objective of these works is to derive principles and building blocks for a collaborative research data management (RDM) system. Though motivated from engineering, this system shall be general enough to be useful for data managers in other disciplines as well. We take an inventory of different kinds of metadata from an application perspective and a workflow perspective. Social aspects of FAIR RDM are discussed, both in the project context and beyond. RDM tasks are divided into recurring phases, geared towards an iterative improvement of the RDM system. This work is conducted in coordination with the project NFDI4Ing.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic is more than a health crisis: it has shaken societies and economies at their core. According to the United Nations, the pandemic has the potential to exacerbate poverty and inequalities globally, which makes accomplishing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) all the more urgent. This has led to increasing pressure for governments to adjust and implement public policies to address not only the health crisis, but also its potential intersections with other local, regional or global crises. It has become obvious that climate risks, which are expected to increase in frequency and intensity due to climate change, are likely to overlap with the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health responses. This poses a crucial policy challenge: while keeping in mind the climate goals and containment of the pandemic, governments are increasingly faced with the urgency of defining options for adaptation to climate and biodiversity changes. Investing in interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral risk assessments is evidently off the essence. Proposed solutions also need to be better integrated, considering interactions, trade-offs and associated benefits. We believe that the integration of ecosystem services—the benefits that people derive from nature—in development strategies will help bring about more sustainable trajectories. Many SDGs rely on the provision of one or more ecosystem services. Understanding how these services can bolster multiple objectives is essential to synergistic planning and cost-effective interventions to build targeted resilience to climate change. Based on a cross-analysis of a range of high-level documents aimed at encouraging climate-resilient development proposed by Morocco, this article details possible contributions of ecosystem services to the realization of the SDGs’ environment-related targets, identifies entry points and tools to further evaluate the role of ecosystem services in supporting the SDGs in Morocco, and introduces a conceptual framework to study these complex relationships in the face of multiple risks and crises.

description: This contribution addresses the question why Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is facing problems to succeed as concept for research and innovation policy in the European Commission, despite the EC's 20 years of history of funding research activities and coordination and support actions that address science and society relations. Our analysis highlights four interrelated elements that contribute to the instability of RRI as policy concept, i.e. semantic, legal, financial and institutional fragility. We use Sabatier’s advocacy coalition approach (1998) to explain how these elements of fragility developed and how the ups and downs of RRI as policy concept played out. We identify three opposing advocacy coalitions with regards to RRI and analyze their belief systems and resources.

description: The recent success of generative adversarial networks and variational learning suggests training a classifier network may work well in addressing the classical two-sample problem. Network-based tests have the computational advantage that the algorithm scales to large samples. This paper proposes a two-sample statistic which is the difference of the logit function, provided by a trained classification neural network, evaluated on the testing set split of the two datasets. Theoretically, we prove the testing power to differentiate two sub-exponential densities given that the network is sufficiently parametrized. When the two densities lie on or near to low-dimensional manifolds embedded in possibly high-dimensional space, the needed network complexity is reduced to only scale with the intrinsic dimensionality. Both the approximation and estimation error analysis are based on a new result of near-manifold integral approximation. In experiments, the proposed method demonstrates better performance than previous network-based tests using classification accuracy as the two-sample statistic, and compares favorably to certain kernel maximum mean discrepancy tests on synthetic datasets and hand-written digit datasets.

description: In this thesis, changing emissions of small-scale wood combustion appliances and ship engines driven by advances in combustion technology and fuel shifts from new legislation were investigated. Firstly, modern masonry heaters and pellet boilers cover emission profiles distinctly different from conventional stoves, which complicates their identification in source apportionment studies. For ship engines, new organic markers, independently from fuel use, for the identification of ships emissions in ambient air were proposed from statistical analyses of several real-world combustion emissions.

description: The spread of the Covid 19 Pandemic all over the world has obliged educational institutes to shift towards online education. Therefore, the ways and strategies of teacher-learner communication have changed also, and technology-based communication tools have become the alternative way of classroom communication. This paper attempts to shed light on the barriers of teacher-learner distance communication strategies in the Moroccan university context. The research draws on a quantitative analysis of a questionnaire of 10 multifaceted questions addressed to English Department Students of Mohammed 1st University. The survey sheds light on: a) the communicative strategies used by teachers and students during and after the course, b) the difference between face-to-face and distance communication, and c) teachers' feedback of questions and inquiries after the course. The results of the study reveal the shortcomings of distance education communication in the Moroccan University. Some of the main barriers are: 1) the lack of real-time interaction between students and their instructors, 2) the absence of collaborative and group activities, and 3) students often do not receive teachers’ feedback of their inquiries. The research ends by stating some strategies to facilitate teacher-learner distance communication.

description: While the workspace of traditional ground vehicles is usually assumed to be in a 2D plane, i.e., SE(2), such an assumption may not hold when they drive at high speeds on unstructured off-road terrain: High-speed sharp turns on high-friction surfaces may lead to vehicle rollover; Turning aggressively on loose gravel or grass may violate the non-holonomic constraint and cause significant lateral sliding; Driving quickly on rugged terrain will produce extensive vibration along the vertical axis. Therefore, most offroad vehicles are currently limited to drive only at low speeds to assure vehicle stability and safety. In this work, we aim at empowering high-speed off-road vehicles with competence awareness in SE(3) so that they can reason about the consequences of taking aggressive maneuvers on different terrain with a 6-DoF forward kinodynamic model. The model is learned from visual and inertial Terrain Representation for Off-road Navigation (TRON) using multimodal, self-supervised vehicle-terrain interactions. We demonstrate the efficacy of our Competence-Aware High-Speed Off-Road (CAHSOR) navigation approach on a physical ground robot in both an autonomous navigation and a human shared-control setup and show that CAHSOR can efficiently reduce vehicle instability by 62% while only compromising 8.6% average speed with the help of TRON.

description: Gene therapy is a promising tool for cardiovascular disease treatment. Its wide clinical application is, however, limited by the lack of suitable targeted gene delivery systems. In this work, a non-viral vector was tested - composed by polyethyleneimine and magnetic nanoparticles (PEI/MNP) - with primary endothelial cells as in vitro model for angiogenesis and CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells. The obtained results indicate that transient genetic modification of cells with miRNA delivered by PEI/MNP is feasible and results in their magnetization sufficient for targeting and MRI detection.

description: This paper reports on a qualitative study targeting the benefits of Flipped Learning in an online EFL education class composed of ten intermediate learners. The researcher made use of multiple sources of data including artifacts, semi-structured interviews, and observation. Students had to produce two major assignments in this class. The first one was a writing task in which they were asked to write a short opinion essay. The second one was a speaking task in which they were required to talk for three minutes about a topic of their choice. Both tasks were based on material covered in our online meetings. The findings showed that flipped learning had an overall significant effect on learners’ performance. The researcher also provided pedagogical insights for applying Flipped Learning and recommendations for further research.

Year: 2021
Subjects: Distance language learning; Online instructional design; ICT; Course development.

description: The ongoing COVID 19 pandemic has shown that distance learning is no more regarded as a mere luxury or just a complementation to in-person learning. It is increasingly being considered by educationalists as an important source and asset of education, especially within the context of the twenty-first century education and the different ICT and soft skills it requires. Starting from a number of webinars and trainings I did during this period, and based mainly on a personal online training at Harvard university’s edX platform on ‘Family Engagement in Children’s Education’ that lasted four months, this paper attempts to explore the potential that online learning and training represents for learning and teaching English. Specifically, emphasis will be on dissecting the formal and content qualities of successful online course designing. Finally, the paper will end with a discussion of some results and recommendations for educational practitioners as to material selection and design of distance learning.

Interactions Of Light And Mirrors: Advanced Techniques For Modelling Future Gravitational Wave Detectors
Creators: name: Brown, Daniel David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016

description: The second generation of ground based interferometric gravitational wave detectors, offering ten times the sensitivity of their predecessors, are now just beginning to come online. With these fully operational the community expects that within the next few years we will finally observe the first direct detection of a gravitational wave. The effectiveness of numerical modelling of realistic systems for design and improvements is in many cases limited by the computation time. I have investigated the use of a reduced-order quadrature technique to reduce the computational cost of calculating spatial overlap integrals of Hermite-Gaussian mode. This significant reduction allows for new parameter spaces to be efficiently explored. One of the challenges in the design of future gravitational wave detectors are unstable mechanical oscillations of the test masses: also known as parametric instabilities. I have shown a new method to reduce these parametric instabilities by using purely optical means. Finally, the susceptibility of waveguide grating mirrors to lateral displacement phase shifts coupling in to the reflected beam was investigated. It was demonstrated using a finite-difference time-domain model to solve Maxwell?s equations that such a coupling does not affect waveguide grating mirrors.

Subjects: Research methodology; evaluation; analytics; LMS; distant teaching.

description: The present inquiry probes in the outcomes of the online course in research methodology taught online under Covid-19 condition to undergraduate students at the Faculty of Arabic Language (FLAM), Cadi Ayyad University (UCA), Marrakech. Basing on learned conceptual frameworks and previous studies related to practices and strategies of teaching research methodology online and in-person, the study reports on the methodology implemented in disseminating the course including description of the objectives and the components of the course such as digital lectures, interactive practices and quizzes. The course is displayed on Canvas as a LMS (Learning Management System), hence Canvas software provides possibility to track the learners performance on the online quizzes exploiting Analytics tool inherent in the website. Equally important is the comparison between the scores of the students achieved on digital quizzes and those achieved in on-campus exams. A crucial section of the research analyses the feedback of the students having followed the course online. They are surveyed after the final term exams. The paper’s conclusion reflects on recommendations for the practitioners and field decision makers concerned with strategies of teaching and evaluating online courses in research methodology.

Remote Teaching in the COVID–19 Pandemic: An Affective–Humanistic Approach
Creators: name: ARAQ, Abdelfettah
Publisher: name: Revue Linguistique et Référentiels Interculturels
Year: 2021
Subjects: affective; humanistic; remote learning; COVID–19 pandemic; motivation; equity.

description: The aim of the present paper is to discuss and describe the affective and humanistic dimensions and repercussions caused by the rapid and unexpected shift from the conventional, classroom mode of teaching to the remote, online and digital system that accompanied the eruption of the COVID–19 pandemic. The significant challenges facing distant education, especially on the humanistic level, during this hard, globalized crisis, seem to have been underestimated by educational authorities and policy makers in general. The researcher will first sketch out a general overview delineating the decisive role of the affective–humanistic approach within the educational framework in general. Second, he will discuss the remote learning/teaching mode and motivational–affective mechanisms within the COVID–19 pandemic. In this respect, special focus will be granted to such online learning and the value of equity in the age of the pandemic, as well as the decisive significance of the teacher’s counselling and affective role therein. A final section will be dedicated to practical proposals for teachers to lower down their students’ affective filter during the COVID–19 pandemic.

description: We consider the kernel completion problem with the presence of multiple views in the data. In this context the data samples can be fully missing in some views, creating missing columns and rows to the kernel matrices that are calculated individually for each view. We propose to solve the problem of completing the kernel matrices with Cross-View Kernel Transfer (CVKT) procedure, in which the features of the other views are transformed to represent the view under consideration. The transformations are learned with kernel alignment to the known part of the kernel matrix, allowing for finding generalizable structures in the kernel matrix under completion. Its missing values can then be predicted with the data available in other views. We illustrate the benefits of our approach with simulated data, multivariate digits dataset and multi-view dataset on gesture classification, as well as with real biological datasets from studies of pattern formation in early \textit{Drosophila melanogaster} embryogenesis.
The simulation of distributed quantum algorithms

description: Distributed quantum computing (DQC) provides a way to scale quantum computers using multiple quantum processing units (QPU) connected through quantum communication links. In this paper, we have built a distributed quantum computing simulator and used the simulator to investigate quantum algorithms such as the quantum Fourier transform, quantum phase estimation, quantum amplitude estimation, and generation of probability distribution in DQC. The simulator can be used to easily generate and execute distributed quantum circuits, obtain and benchmark DQC parameters such as the fidelity of the algorithm and the number of entanglement generation steps, and use dynamic circuits in a distributed setting to improve results. We show the applicability of dynamic quantum circuits in DQC, where mid-circuit measurements, local operations, and classical communication are used in place of noisy inter-processor (non-local) quantum gates
