description: Hysteretic behaviour accompanies any first-order phase transition, forming a basis for many applications. However, its quantitative understanding remains challenging, and even a qualitative understanding of pronounced hysteresis broadening at low temperature, which is often observed in magnetic-field-induced first-order phase transition materials, is unclear. Here, we show that such pronounced hysteresis broadening emerges if the phase-front velocity during the first-order phase transition exhibits an activated behaviour as a function of both temperature and magnetic field. This is demonstrated by using real-space magnetic imaging techniques, for the magnetic-field-induced first-order phase transition between antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic phases in (Fe$_{0.95}$Zn$_{0.05}$)$_{2}$Mo$_{3}$O$_{8}$. When combined with the Kolmogorov-Avrami-Ishibashi model, the observed activated temperature- and field-dependences of the growth velocity of the emerging antiferromagnetic domain quantitatively reproduce the pronounced hysteresis broadening. Furthermore, the same approach also reproduces the field-sweep-rate dependence of the transition field observed in the experiment. Our findings thus provide a quantitative and comprehensive understanding of pronounced hysteresis broadening from the microscopic perspective of domain growth.

description: The hanging arm protocol consists in encouraging the patient since day one to lean forward very slowly trying to reach the toes with the finger tips and again very slowly getting up, as long as the procedure is completely painless. The hanging arm protocol aims at keeping a totally mobile shoulder joint using only gravity in order to avoid motion at the fracture site, which may lower non-healing risk and may increase the functional outcome.

description: In this paper we show that integrable four dimensional linearly degenerate equations of second order possess infinitely many three dimensional hydrodynamic reductions. Furthermore, they are equipped infinitely many conservation laws and higher commuting flows. We show that the dispersionless limits of nonlocal KdV and nonlocal NLS equations (the so-called Breaking Soliton equations introduced by O.I. Bogoyavlenski) are one and two component reductions (respectively) of one of these four dimensional linearly degenerate equations.

description: Nowadays, FPGAs are integrated in high-performance computing systems, servers, or even used as accelerators in System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms. Since the execution is performed in hardware, FPGA gives much higher performance and lower energy consumption compared to most microprocessor-based systems. However, the room to improve FPGA performance still exists, e.g. when it is used by multiple users. In multi-user approaches, FPGA resources are shared between several users. Therefore, one must be able to interrupt a running circuit at any given time and continue the task at will. An image of the state of the running circuit (context) is saved during interruption and restored when the execution is continued. The ability to extract and restore the context is known as context-switch.In the previous work [1], an automatic checkpoint selection method is proposed for circuit generation targeting reconfigurable systems. The method relies on static analysis of the finite state machine of a circuit to select the checkpoint states. States with minimum overhead will be selected as checkpoints, which allow optimal context save and restore. The maximum time to reach a checkpoint will be defined by the user and consideredas the context-switch latency. The method is implemented in C code and integrated as plugin in a free and open-source High-Level Synthesis tool AUGH [2].

Darstellungen und Beschreibungsmitteln, gestellt. Empirische Befunde legen nahe, dass eine solche Repräsentationskompetenz (Kozma & Russell, 1997; Rau, 2016) nicht vorausgesetzt werden kann: Lernende sind nicht in der Lage, Fach-Inhalte aus externalen Repräsentationen erfolgreich zu entnehmen. Zur Klärung dieses Problems sind auf der inhaltlichen Ebene das eingebettete (technische) Expertenwissen sowie die jeweiligen kognitiven Strukturen aus lernpsychologisch-didaktischer Sicht zu identifizieren. Auf Basis eines umfassenden Literaturreviews wird ein Analyseraster entwickelt, mit dem sich das notwendige Vorwissen zum Verständnis der Tiefenstruktur gegebener Repräsentationen beschreiben lässt.

description: Mit zunehmender Technisierung und Digitalisierung der Gesellschaft ist die Technikbildung ein Teil der Allgemeinbildung geworden. Sie trägt dazu bei, Chancen und Risiken neuer Technologien abzuwägen und den gesellschaftlichen Wandel aktiv mitzugestalten. Um die Technikbildung an Schulen zu fördern, wurden im Rahmen des Projektes „TechEd – Technology Education“ Satellitenlabore mit einem Peer-Learning-Ansatz an zwei Partnerschulen etabliert. Die Satellitenlabore vermitteln technische und informatische Inhalte, um ein möglichst frühzeiti-ges Angebot in diesen Bereichen zu schaffen, die benötigten Kompetenzen in MINT-Berufen zu fördern und die technische Bildung mitzugestalten. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Imple-mentierung dieser Satellitenlaboren anhand von elf leitfadengestützten Interviews, welche mit der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring ausgewertet wurden. Die Analyse konzentriert sich auf Aspekte, die die Teilnahme der Schülerdozentinnen bzw. -dozenten (SD) am Projekt begünstigt und den wahrgenommenen Nutzen des Projektes aus Sicht der SD. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die SD vor allem persönliche Interessen und berufliche Aspekte zu einer Teilnahme am Projekt motivieren. Darüber hinaus erwarten sie durch ihre Tätigkeit sowohl Fachkompetenzen als auch personale Kompetenzen, wie etwa Team- und Problemlösefähigkeiten, zu erwerben und betonen, dass auch die jüngeren Lernenden von dem Projekt profitieren, indem beispielweise persönliche Interessen gefördert werden.

description: In-memory caching systems are fundamental building blocks in cloud services. However, due to the coupled CPU and memory on monolithic servers, existing caching systems cannot elastically adjust resources in a resource-efficient and agile manner. To achieve better elasticity, we propose to port in-memory caching systems to the disaggregated memory (DM) architecture, where compute and memory resources are decoupled and can be allocated flexibly. However, constructing an elastic caching system on DM is challenging since accessing cached objects with CPU-bypass remote memory accesses hinders the execution of caching algorithms. Moreover, the elastic changes of compute and memory resources on DM affect the access patterns of cached data, compromising the hit rates of caching algorithms. We design Ditto, the first caching system on DM, to address these challenges. Ditto first proposes a client-centric caching framework to efficiently execute various caching algorithms in the compute pool of DM, relying only on remote memory accesses. Then, Ditto employs a distributed adaptive caching scheme that adaptively switches to the best-fit caching algorithm in real-time based on the performance of multiple caching algorithms to improve cache hit rates. Our experiments show that Ditto effectively adapts to the changing resources on DM and outperforms the state-of-the-art caching systems by up to 3.6x in real-world workloads and 9x in YCSB

description: There is growing interest in generating skeleton-based human motions from natural language descriptions. While most efforts have focused on developing better neural architectures for this task, there has been no significant work on determining the proper evaluation metric. Human evaluation is the ultimate accuracy measure for this task, and automated metrics should correlate well with human quality judgments. Since descriptions are compatible with many motions, determining the right metric is critical for evaluating and designing effective generative models. This paper systematically studies which metrics best align with human evaluations and proposes new metrics that align even better. Our findings indicate that none of the metrics currently used for this task show even a moderate correlation with human judgments on a sample level. However, for assessing average model performance, commonly used metrics such as R-Precision and less-used coordinate errors show strong correlations. Additionally, several recently developed metrics are not recommended due to their low correlation compared to alternatives. We also introduce a novel metric based on a multimodal BERT-like model, MoBERT, which offers strongly human-correlated sample-level evaluations while maintaining near-perfect model-level correlation. Our results demonstrate that this new metric exhibits extensive benefits over all current alternatives.

description: Knowledge on the dynamics of standard epidemic models and their variants over complex networks has been well-established primarily in the stationary regime, with relatively little light shed on their transient behavior. In this paper, we analyze the transient characteristics of the classical susceptible-infected (SI) process with a recovery policy modeled as a state-dependent retrial queueing system in which arriving infected nodes, upon finding all the limited number of recovery units busy, join a virtual buffer and try persistently for service in order to regain susceptibility. In particular, we formulate the stochastic SI epidemic model with added retrial phenomenon as a finite continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) and derive the Laplace transforms of the underlying transient state probability distributions and corresponding moments for a closed population of size $N$ driven by homogeneous and heterogeneous contacts. Our numerical results reveal the strong influence of infection heterogeneity and retrial frequency on the transient behavior of the model for various performance measures.

Intestinal stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) is differentially expressed along the intestinal length and is regulated through dietary manipulation
Creators: name: Akal, Tasleenpal Kaur
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of monounsaturated fatty acids from saturated fatty acids. Primarily, the enzyme converts palmitoyl-CoA and stearoyl-CoA to palmitoleoyl-CoA and oleoyl-CoA, respectively. Previous studies have shown that this enzyme is transcriptionally regulated in numerous metabolically-important tissues, such as liver and adipose, in response to nutritional manipulation. However, virtually nothing is known regarding its potential expression and regulation in the intestine, the primary site of lipid absorption in the body. In this study, we aimed to identify whether SCD1 is expressed in the intestine and whether it is regulated in a manner similar to a lipogenic tissue such as liver. Age-matched male wild type C57BL/6J were fasted for 24 hours and then refed a lipogenic high-sucrose very low fat diet (HSVLF) for 16 hours, a paradigm that is known to transcriptionally activate Scd1 in the liver. Mucosal scrapings were collected from duodenum, proximal jejunum, distal jejunum, ileum and colon. Results show that this refeeding protocol increases SCD1 mRNA and protein expression in duodenum, proximal jejunum, distal jejunum, and ileum. This was also true for several other lipogenic genes, such as sterol regulatory element binding protein (Srebp-1c), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (Acc), and fatty acid synthase (Fas). SCD1 was expressed at the highest level in the ileum in comparison to duodenum and both proximal and distal sections of jejunum. Immunohistological analyses of Swiss-rolled sections of small intestine showed an increase in SCD1 protein expression after refeeding as well differential SCD1 expression along the length of the intestine, corroborating gene expression data. We conclude that SCD1 is differentially expressed throughout the intestine and is regulated through dietary manipulation.

description: We propose of an improved version of the ubiquitous symmetrization inequality making use of the Wasserstein distance between a measure and its reflection in order to quantify the symmetry of the given measure. An empirical bound on this asymmetric correction term is derived through a bootstrap procedure and shown to give tighter results in practical settings than the original uncorrected inequality. Lastly, a wide range of applications are detailed including testing for data symmetry, constructing nonasymptotic high dimensional confidence sets, bounding the variance of an empirical process, and improving constants in Nemirovski style inequalities for Banach space valued random variables.

description: Higgs boson mass measurement at $\sim 125$ GeV points to a high scale for SUSY specifically the scalar masses. If all the scalars are heavy, supersymmetric contribution to the leptonic $g-2$ moments will be significantly reduced. On the other hand the Brookhaven experiment indicates a 3sigma deviation from the standard model prediction. Here we analyze the leptonic $g-2$ moments in an extended MSSM model with inclusion of a vector like leptonic generation which brings in new sources of CP violation. In this work we consider the contributions to the leptonic $g-2$ moments arising from the exchange of charginos and neutralinos, sleptons and mirror sleptons, and from the exchange of $W$ and $Z$ bosons and of leptons and mirror leptons. We focus specifically on the $g-2$ moments for the muon and the electron where sensitive measurements exist. Here it is shown that one can get consistency with the current data on $g-2$ under the Higgs boson mass constraint. Dependence of the moments on CP phases from the extended sector are analyzed and it is shown that they are sensitively dependent on the phases from the new sector. It is shown that the corrections to the leptonic moments arising from the extended MSSM sector will be non-vanishing even if the SUSY scale extends into the PeV region.

We calculate the achievable fidelity as a function of the parameters of the rare-earth ion and photonic cavity, which include the ion's optical and spin dephasing rates, the cavity linewidth, the single photon coupling to the cavity, and the detection efficiency. We suggest a promising experimental realization using current state of the art technology in Nd:YVO$_4$.

Radiation transport

description: The implementation of a general-purpose tetrahedral mesh phantom geometry library for the Monte Carlo radiation transport code EGSnrc is described. Recently, tetrahedral mesh geometries have been proposed as standard reference phantoms to advance the state of the art over rectilinear voxel phantoms. Prior to this work, EGSnrc already supported voxelized geometries, but not tetrahedral meshes. Other major radiation transport codes such as MCNP6, Geant4, and PHITS, are also capable of simulating the interaction of ionizing radiation with tetrahedral mesh phantoms. Tetrahedral mesh phantoms have a number of advantages over voxel phantoms including improved modelling fidelity and locally varying element resolution. In addition, CAD geometries can be converted into meshes, which can then be directly used in simulations. In this work, an EGSnrc tetrahedral mesh geometry library called EGS_Mesh is implemented. The implementation uses fast computational geometry algorithms from the literature and is accelerated using an octree spatial partitioning scheme. For a preliminary verification, results obtained using EGS_Mesh are compared to classical EGSnrc geometries and theoretical results (including a Fano test) and found to match within 0.1%. To demonstrate the capability of EGS_Mesh to simulate transport in complex mesh phantoms from the literature, results using the ICRP 145 reference human phantoms are compared to published results obtained using Geant4. The comparison has found agreement mostly within 5% of the Geant4 results, but with some differences up to 10%.

Towards Measuring Fairness in Grid Layout in Recommender Systems

description: There has been significant research in the last five years on ensuring the providers of items in a recommender system are treated fairly, particularly in terms of the exposure the system provides to their work through its results. However, the metrics developed to date have all been designed and tested for linear ranked lists. It is unknown whether and how existing fair ranking metrics for linear layouts can be applied to grid-based displays. Moreover, depending on the device (phone, tab, or laptop) users use to interact with systems, column size is adjusted using column reduction approaches in a grid-view. The visibility or exposure of recommended items in grid layouts varies based on column sizes and column reduction approaches as well. In this paper, we extend existing fair ranking concepts and metrics to study provider-side group fairness in grid layouts, present an analysis of the behavior of these grid adaptations of fair ranking metrics, and study how their behavior changes across different grid ranking layout designs and geometries. We examine how fairness scores change with different ranking layouts to yield insights into (1) the consistency of fair ranking measurements across layouts; (2) whether rankings optimized for fairness in a linear ranking remain fair when the results are displayed in a grid; and (3) the impact of column reduction approaches to support different device geometries on fairness measurement. This work highlights the need to use layout-specific user attention models when measuring fairness of rankings, and provide practitioners with a first set of insights on what to expect when translating existing fair ranking metrics to the grid layouts in wide use today.

Hydrogen bonding in the protic ionic liquid triethylammonium nitrate explored by density functional tight binding simulations

description: The applicability of the density functional based tight binding (DFTB) method to the description of hydrogen bond dynamics and infrared spectroscopy is addressed for the exemplary protic ionic liquid triethylammonium nitrate. Potential energy curves for proton transfer in gas and liquid phase are shown to be comparable to high level coupled cluster theory in the thermally accessible range of bond lengths. Geometric correlations in the hydrogen bond dynamics are analyzed for a cluster of six ion pairs. Comparing DFTB and regular DFT data lends further support for the reliability of the DFTB method. Therefore, DFTB bulk simulations are performed to quantify the extent of geometric correlations in terms of Pauling's bond order model. Further, infrared (IR) absorption spectra are obtained and analyzed putting emphasis on the signatures of hydrogen bonding in the NH-stretching and far IR hydrogen bond range.

description: The hubris tradition of research has been criticized for limiting its scope by associating hubris predominantly with detrimental leadership behaviours. To counteract this bias, we provide a more nuanced exploration of hubris and consider both beneficial and detrimental manifestations of hubris in start‐up founders’ leadership behaviours. Our analysis, based on qualitative data from expert interviews and two case studies, indicates that, whilst hubristic start‐up founders are likely to fail overall, they also excel in creating and communicating visionary scenarios, steering employees through critical situations, and extracting commitment from third parties. These under‐researched ‘bright’ manifestations of hubris allow start‐up founders to lead their venture towards a stage, in which their visionary power and resilience become crucial prerequisites for economic progress. Our findings extend knowledge on hubristic leadership, offer new directions for the hubris tradition of research, and open up avenues for future research with a more balanced view of hubris.

Our results for the momentum distribution in the superfluid regime show that a kink is present in the range of momenta corresponding to the roton excitation. This effect disappears when crossing the transition temperature to the normal fluid, in a behavior currently unexplained by theory.

Product planning of manufactured construction products
Creators: name: Wee, Tanawan Pang Yew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: The construction industry is experiencing further industrialisation to achieve greater efficiency and flexibility in the development of manufactured construction products. The development of these products poses challenges because of new complex design requirements and manufacturing processes. There is therefore a need to develop product planning methods that can effectively address these challenges. This research aims to develop product planning methods for complexity management of manufactured construction products. A framework for product planning for manufactured construction products is proposed, which involves application of methods for requirements management and modularisation. Using a reverse engineering approach, the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method was applied to a modular plantroom to model and analyse its requirements. The plantroom QFD model facilitated a deeper understanding of requirements analysis than existing practice at the collaborating company. The QFD method was subsequently applied to a whole modular apartment building to analyse its requirements and investigate how requirements flow down across hierarchical levels. The application showed that a series of connected QFD models support requirements analysis by allowing to investigate systems structure, traceability and data analytic solutions of complex building systems. The QFD models were evaluated and validated by engineers at the collaborating company and were found to be effective at capturing and analysing requirements. QFD is a powerful requirements analysis method for manufactured construction products because it offers a more systematic, holistic and structured approach to requirements analysis than those currently adopted in the industry. The research also investigated the development and application of a multi-driver modularisation approach for manufactured construction products. The approach uses and integrates three modular tools, namely Dependency Structure Matrix, Modular Identification Matrix and Generational Variance Indexes, which support the design of flexible product systems. The approach is able to address multiple modularisation drivers and provide valuable design information.
Efficient strategy for modelling punching failure of flat slabs
Creators: name: Setiawan, Andri
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis develops a novel modelling strategy depicted JSPM (joint-shell punching model) for simulating punching failure of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs in which non-linear joint elements are combined with nonlinear 2-D shell elements. Punching failure of the nonlinear joint is governed by the failure criterion of the critical shear crack the-ory (CSCT) of Muttoni (2008). A notable feature of the JSPM is that joint punching resistance is continually updated during the analysis in terms of the slab sector rotation calculated at the previous load step. This feature enables the JSPM to accurately simu-late the slab-column connection behaviour from the initial load stage, occurrence of punching (peak), followed by a transition to post-punching stage without the need of post-processing. This modelling strategy has been implemented in the nonlinear struc-tural analysis program ADAPTIC (Izzuddin, 1991). Throughout the thesis, the proposed JSPM has been extended to simulate various practical scenarios, including punching of: slabs supported on elongated column, slabs subjected to eccentric loading (both monotonic and reversed-cyclic), and slabs with shear reinforcement. In total, 90 internal slab-column connections from test database were simulated to verify the proposed JSPM. In addition, NLFEA based on 3-D solid elements were simulated in ATENA (Cervenka et al., 2018) to provide an objective comparison (benchmark). The JSPM is shown to produce accurate predictions of the measured slab-column connection behaviour while requiring significantly less computa-tion time than the NLFEA with solid elements. The analysis and comparison of the numerical and test data were used to inform design procedures: including: a) shear-field method to design slabs supported on elongated column or wall; b) simplified analytical method to determined drift-induced punching for slabs subjected to reversed-cyclic loading.

description: Ultrasonic experiments allow one to measure the elastic modulus of bulk solid or fluid samples. Recently such experiments have been carried out on fluid-saturated nanoporous glass to probe the modulus of a confined fluid. In our previous work [J. Chem. Phys., (2015) 143, 194506], using Monte Carlo simulations we showed that the elastic modulus $K$ of a fluid confined in a mesopore is a function of the pore size. Here we focus on modulus-pressure dependence $K(P)$, which is linear for bulk materials, a relation known as the Tait-Murnaghan equation. Using transition-matrix Monte Carlo simulations we calculated the elastic modulus of bulk argon as a function of pressure and argon confined in silica mesopores as a function of Laplace pressure. Our calculations show that while the elastic modulus is strongly affected by confinement and temperature, the slope of the modulus versus pressure is not. Moreover, the calculated slope is in a good agreement with the reference data for bulk argon and experimental data for confined argon derived from ultrasonic experiments. We propose to use the value of the slope of $K(P)$ to estimate the elastic moduli of an unknown porous medium.

description: The quantum statistical parton distributions approach proposed more than one decade ago is revisited by considering a larger set of recent and accurate Deep Inelastic Scattering experimental results. It enables us to improve the description of the data by means of a new determination of the parton distributions. This global next-to-leading order QCD analysis leads to a good description of several structure functions, involving unpolarized parton distributions and helicity distributions, in a broad range of $x$ and $Q^2$ and in terms of a rather small number of free parameters. There are several challenging issues, in particular the behavior of $\bar d(x) / \bar u(x)$ at large $x$, a possible large positive gluon helicity distribution, etc.. The predictions of this theoretical approach will be tested for single-jet production and charge asymmetry in $W^{\pm}$ production in $\bar p p$ and $p p$ collisions up to LHC energies, using recent data and also for forthcoming experimental results.

description: A common approach to aggregate classification estimates in an ensemble of decision trees is to either use voting or to average the probabilities for each class. The latter takes uncertainty into account, but not the reliability of the uncertainty estimates (so to say, the "uncertainty about the uncertainty"). More generally, much remains unknown about how to best combine probabilistic estimates from multiple sources. In this paper, we investigate a number of alternative prediction methods. Our methods are inspired by the theories of probability, belief functions and reliable classification, as well as a principle that we call evidence accumulation. Our experiments on a variety of data sets are based on random decision trees which guarantees a high diversity in the predictions to be combined. Somewhat unexpectedly, we found that taking the average over the probabilities is actually hard to beat. However, evidence accumulation showed consistently better results on all but very small leafs.

description: Strong coupling between cavity photons and molecular vibrations can lead to the formation of vibron-polaritons. In a recent experiment with PVAc molecules in a metal-metal microcavity [A.Shalabney et al., Ang.Chem.Int.Ed. 54 7971 (2015)], such a coupling was observed to enhance the Raman scattering probability by several orders of magnitude. Inspired by this, we theoretically analyze the effect of strong photon-vibron coupling on the Raman scattering amplitude of organic molecules. This problem has recently been addressed in [J.del Pino, J.Feist and F.J.Garcia-Vidal; J.Phys.Chem.C 119 29132 (2015)] using exact numerics for a small number of molecules. In this paper we derive compact analytic results for any number of molecules, also including the ultra-strong coupling regime. Our calculations predict a division of the Raman signal into upper and lower polariton modes,with some enhancement to the lower polariton Raman amplitude due to the mode softening under strong coupling.

The ALICE Run 3 Online / Offline Processing

description: The ALICE experiment has undergone a major upgrade for LHC Run 3 and will collect data at an interaction rate 50 times larger than before. The new computing scheme for Run 3 replaces the traditionally separate online and offline frameworks by a unified one, which is called O2. Processing will happen in two phases. During data taking, a synchronous processing phase performs data compression, calibration, and quality control on the online computing farm. The output is stored on an onsite disk buffer. When there is no beam in the LHC, the same computing farm is used for the asynchronous reprocessing of the data which yields the final reconstruction output. The O2 project consists of three main parts:. The Event Processing Nodes (EPN) equipped with GPUs deliver the bulk of the computing capacity and perform the majority of the reconstruction and the calibration. The First Level Processors (FLP) receive the data via optical links from the detectors and perform local processing where it is needed, which can optionally happen in the user logic of the FPGA based readout card. Between the FLP and the EPN farms the data is distributed in the network such that the EPNs receive complete collision data for the processing. The Physics and Data Processing (PDP) group develops the software framework and the reconstruction and calibration algorithms. The current O2 setup is capable of handling in real time the peak data rate foreseen for data taking of Pb--Pb collisions at 50 kHz interaction rate..
