description: I dette studie undersøges hvad skadestueregistrerede trafikuheld kan bidrage med i trafiksikkerhedsarbejde på veje i åbent land. Hvad karakteriserer skadestueregistrerede trafikuheld i åbent land og adskiller dette sig fra de politiregistrerede trafikuheld i åbent land? Hvorledes dette har indflydelse på modellering af uheldsmodeller til brug for udpegning af risikolokaliteter? Studiet foretages på gennemfarts- og fordelingsveje i åbent land i Svendborg og Assens Kommuner. På Fyn er der gennem mange år foretaget en udvidet registrering af trafikuheld på Odense Universitets hospital (Ulykkes Analyse Gruppen OUH 2017). Dette giver en unik mulighed for at benytte data fra Fyn til at belyse problematikken. Trafikuheld registreret på skadestuen omfatter en større andel eneuheld og cyklister end det er tilfældet i det officielle uheldsregister. Registreringer fra Odense Universitets Hospital kan dermed bidrage med mere viden om uheld med cyklister og eneuheld. Dette vil netop supplere den officielle statstik på de to mest underrapporterede punkter – cyklister og eneuheld. Sammenlignes udpegning af risikolokaliteter på baggrund af hhv. det officielle uheldsregister og en kombination af det officielle register og skadestueregistrerede uheld ses at der er store forskelle i hvilke lokaliteter der identificeres. Det betyder, at når der i kommunalt trafiksikkerhedsarbejde fokuseres på de mest risikofyldte lokaliteter basseret på den officielle uheldsstatistik risikerer den enkelte kommune i op mod trefjerdedele af tilfældene at investere i foranstaltninger på lokaliteter, der ikke reelt er de mest risikofyldte. Nærværende studie understreger som tidligere studier at den officielle uheldsstatstik ikke kan stå alene, og at der er et potentiale i at inddrage skadestuedata. Er skadestuedata stedfæstet kan de benyttes til udpegning af risikolokaliteter, mens ikke stedfæstede data udelukkende vil kunne bruges til mere overordnede analyser af partskombinationer og uheldssituationer. Studiet er en del af projektet ”Risikolokaliteter på Kommuneveje” finansieret af Trygfonden samt Assens og Svendborg Kommuner.

description: Af tidligere studier vides det, at der er stor usikkerhed forbundet med den officielle uheldsdatabase, der er grundlag for trafiksikkerhedsarbejdet. Usikkerheden er ikke ønskelig, og lægger op til, at undersøge om der på andre måder kan opnås yderligere kendskab til flere uheldsdata. Andre måder at indsamle data på er ved selvrapportering, forsikringsdata og sygehusdata, dog kan ingen af de nævnte benyttes direkte i trafiksikkerhedsarbejdet, da uheldene ikke stedfæstes. Men hvilke muligheder er der så for flere uheldsdata? Hvis uheld skal indgå i det stedbestemte trafiksikkerhedsarbejde, skal de være stedfæstede. Uheld registreret af politiet stedfæstes. Dette omfatter person- og materielskadeuheld samt ekstrauheld, der alle er en del af den officielle uheldsstatistik. Generelt indgår ekstrauheld sjældent i trafiksikkerhedsarbejdet, og udviklingen i antal ekstrauheld præsenteres sjældent. Imidlertid er udviklingen i antal ekstrauheld interessant, da den afviger fra uheldsudviklingen generelt. Antallet af registrerede ekstrauheld er steget fra år 2000 til 2015, ligesom uheldsarten udgør en større og større andel af de samlede registrerede uheld. En stigning i ekstrauheld er ikke et problem i sig selv, men hvis stigingen skyldes, at uheldene ikke er korrekt registrerede, og uheldet dermed burde indgå i den officielle statistik, går værdifulde uheldsdata tabt. Det er således undersøgt, om der ligger et potentiale for flere uheldsdata i de registrerede ekstrauheld, grundet fejlklassificeringer.

 Therapon terrae-reginae; Castelnau 1878b: 46 (Norman River).
 This is the only non-type specimen of Castelnau’s Norman River fishes in the Macleay Museum, which we include primarily as evidence that the MAMU Norman River specimens match with Castelnau’s collection. Castelnau (1878a) described T. terraereginae on the basis of a single specimen from northern Queensland, possibly from the Fitzroy River. He further noted that he had seen a six-inch Fitzroy River specimen of the same species in the Brisbane Museum (now Queensland Museum). He reported on an unspecified number of specimens from the Norman River in his 1878b paper. However, he introduced confusion by noting “The specimen on which I formed this species is not in my possession having been returned to the Brisbane Museum, so I cannot compare the specimens that I have from the Norman River with the type.” As can be discerned from his original description, the Queensland Museum specimen is not the type. According to Bauchot & Desoutter (1987), the holotype is instead deposited in the MNHN (MNHN A-703). Vari (1978) included T. terraereginae in the synonymy of Amniataba percoides (Günther 1864).
 MAMU F.569A includes a single 66.5 mm SL specimen (TL not determined, owing to caudal-fin damage). The old label says “ THERAPON TERRAE-REGINAE NORMAN RIVER”. The index card for the specimen also says “ Therapon terrae-reginae […] 1 sp. 3″ Norman River.” We believe this specimen is Castelnau’s Norman River specimen. It agrees well with Vari’s (1978) description of Amniataba percoides. We note, however, that it does not key to that species using Vari’s key, owing to an error in the first couplet (A versus AA): in contrast to the key, A. percoides has an exposed, serrated posttemporal (versus covered with skin and not serrate according to the key).

description: Modulvogntog blev tilladte i Danmark i 2008. I alt godt 4.000 km af det danske vejnet er blevet ombygget, så der er kapacitet til at modulvogntogene kan køre der med deres maksimale længde på 25,25 m. Ændringerne har primært været rettet mod kryds og især rundkørsler. De vigtigste ændringer i enkeltsporede rundkørsler er, at midterøen er reduceret og de yderste dele erstattet af et overkørbart overkørselsanlæg. Effekten på personbilførernes hastighedsvalg i i alt tre rundkørsler: Dels som et før- /efterstudie i én rundkørsel samt et med-/udenstudie i to rundkørsler med stort set identisk design med undtagelse af etableret overkørbart overkørselsareal i den ene. Personbilers free-flow hastighed var undersøgt ved hjælp af RUBA software ud fra én uges videoregistrering i hver rundkørsel. I rundkørslen, hvor det overkørbare overkørselsareal var blevet etableret, steg gennemsnitshastigheden fra 28 til 36 km/t. Med-/udenstudiet vidste samme men markant mindre tendens end for før-/efterstudiet. Den fundne mindre effekt i de to kryds kan skyldes forskelle i design og evt. bilistsammensætning, som ikke er registreret. Overordnet set, indikerer undersøgelsen at etablering af et overkørbart overkørselsareal forøger hastigheden i rundkørsler markant.

description: Fra 2006 - 2015 kom 23.034 danskere alvorligt til skade og 2.614 blev dræbt i trafikulykker. Disse trafikulykker medfører store samfundsøkonomiske omkostninger. De gennemsnitlige omkostninger pr. personskade1 i vejtrafikken opgøres til at være gennemsnitlig 2.8 mio. kr., og dette tal inkluderer ikke værdisætningen af tabt liv og førlighed (Færdselssikkerhedskommissionen, 2013). Tallet viser, at der er store omkostninger forbundet med trafikulykker, men der er ikke kun samfundsøkonomiske konsekvenser, når danskere kommer alvorligt til skade i trafikulykker. Ulykkerne har også personlige negative konsekvenser i forhold til sundhed og livskvalitet for de personer, der kommer alvorligt til skade. Havarikommissionen for Vejtrafikulykker (HVU) præsenterede i forbindelse med deres Rapport 7 ”Ulykker på landeveje” en undersøgelse af langtidsfølgerne for ulykkesimplicerede bilister (HVU, 2011). Selvom materialet var begrænset, viste det tydeligt, at trafikulykker har meget store fysiske, psykiske, økonomiske og sociale konsekvenser. ”Mit liv efter ulykken - konsekvenserne af alvorlige trafikulykker i Danmark” giver ligeledes et indblik i de personlige konsekvenser, der kan være, efter man er kommet alvorlig til skade i en trafikulykke. Undersøgelsen har også til formål at give indblik i de fysiske, psykiske, sociale og økonomiske konsekvenser, som en alvorlig trafikulykke har for de implicerede på både kort og lang sigt. ”Mit liv efter ulykken - konsekvenserne af alvorlige trafikulykker i Danmark” komplementerer HVUs resultater. Nærværende undersøgelse er baseret på et bredere materiale, idet der er flere respondenter, og da den beskæftiger sig med flere ulykkestyper og trafikantkategorier. Derudover ser HVUs analyse af langtidsfølger af ulykker kun på konsekvenser af ulykkerne i 6-9 måneder efter ulykken (HVU, 2011:69), mens nærværende undersøgelse har et længere tidsperspektiv, idet den redegør for de længerevarende konsekvenser i op til 10 år efter ulykken.

A few remarks concerning application of the Lifshitz theory to calculation of the Casimir-Polder interaction

description: The Lifshitz theory provides a semiclassical description of the Casimir-Polder atom-plate interaction, where the electromagnetic field is quantized whereas the material of the plate is considered as a continuous medium. This places certain restrictions on its application regarding the allowable atom-plate separation distances and the dielectric properties of the plate material. Below we demonstrate that in some recent literature the application conditions of the Lifshitz theory established by its founders are violated by applying it at too short separations and using the dielectric permittivities possessing the negative imaginary parts in violation of the second law of thermodynamics.

description: Debye temperature, TD, of Fe100-xCrx disordered alloys with 0~95 the Debye temperature is smaller than the one for the metallic iron, with a local minimum at x=~55 at which the relative decrease of TD amounts to ~12%. The first maximum coincides quite well with that found for the spin-waves stiffness coefficient, D0, while the pretty steep decrease observed for x>~95 which is indicative of a decoupling of the probe Fe atoms from the underlying chromium matrix is likely related to the spin-density waves which constitute the magnetic structure of chromium in that interval of composition. The harmonic force constant calculated from the Debye temperature of the least Fe-concentrated alloy (x>99.9) amounts to only 23% of the one characteristic of a pure chromium.

description: Formålet med denne undersøgelse var at sammenligne vejvrede blandt cyklister og bilister. Baseret på et spørgeskema, som er udviklet til at måle vejvrede blandt bilister (”Driving anger expression inventory; DAX), udviklede vi et spørgeskema til at måle vejvrede blandt cyklister (CAX). Datagrundlaget var en repræsentativ online-undersøgelse blandt 2000 personer i Danmark. I overensstemmelse med internationale resultater blev der udviklet fire underskalaer vedrørende udtryk for vejvrede for bilister: (1) fysisk, (2) brug af køretøj, (3) verbalt og (4) konstruktivt. For cyklister blev de samme underskaler udviklet bortset fra ”brug af køretøj". Analyserne viste, at bilister udtrykker mere verbal aggression end cyklister, mens der ikke var signifikant forskel for de øvrige underskalaer. Analysen viste endvidere en sammenhæng mellem de fire underskalaer og demografi, involvering i specifikke typer af vejvrede og bøder. Derudover var en positiv holdning til bilkørsel relateret til højere aggressionsniveau som bilist, mens dette ikke var tilfældet for cykling. Til gengæld var oplevelsen af stress ved bilkørsel/cykling relateret til mere aggression som bilist/cyklist.

Electric charging of dust aggregates and its effect on dust coagulation in protoplanetary disks

description: Mutual sticking of dust aggregates is the first step toward planetesimal formation in protoplanetary disks. In spite that the electric charging of dust particles is well recognized in some contexts, it has been largely ignored in the current modeling of dust coagulation. In this study, we present a general analysis of the dust charge state in protoplanetary disks, and then demonstrate how the electric charging could dramatically change the currently accepted scenario of dust coagulation. First, we describe a new semianalytical method to calculate the dust charge state and gas ionization state self-consistently. This method is far more efficient than previous numerical methods, and provides a general and clear description of the charge state of gas-dust mixture. Second, we apply this analysis to early evolutionary stages where the dust has been thought to grow into fractal ($D \sim 2$) aggregates with a quasi-monodisperse (i.e., narrow) size distribution. We find that, for a wide range of model parameters, the fractal growth is strongly inhibited by the electric repulsion between colliding aggregates and eventually "freezes out" on its way to the subsequent growth stage involving collisional compression. Strong disk turbulence would help the aggregates to overcome this growth barrier, but then it would cause catastrophic collisional fragmentation in later growth stages. These facts suggest that the combination of electric repulsion and collisional fragmentation would impose a serious limitation on dust growth in protoplanetary disks. We propose a possible scenario of dust evolution after the freeze-out. Finally, we point out that the fractal growth of dust aggregates tends to maintain a low ionization degree and, as a result, a large magnetorotationally stable region in the disk.

Accessing sustainable hydrogen energy technologies : strategies for remote Antarctic communities
Creators: name: Pointing, DS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This research project addresses current limitations in the area of energy technology integration by improving understanding of the interactions between novel energy technologies and energy-using communities. The study focuses on the interface between systems using renewable and hydrogen energy technologies and the communities of scientists working in the remote, harsh and pristine Antarctic environment. The project is multi-disciplinary and includes technical analysis of specific energy technologies and investigation of the social issues that influence the interaction of energy users with such technologies. The primary research objective is the development of tailored strategies and recommendations to help the Australian Antarctic research community access appropriate and sustainable energy solutions. Elements of the research include: [1] Review of global energy issues and the emergence of novel solutions such as renewable and hydrogen energy technologies. [2] Overview of the international Antarctic research community and energy-related issues, with specific review of Australia's operations. [3] Technical analysis of potential roles of hydrogen technologies. [4] Application of computer modelling tools (HYDROGEMS) to simulate the operation of a wind-hydrogen system at an Antarctic station. [5] Engagement with related communities to identify issues that influence the community's interaction with innovative energy solutions. [6] Evaluation of the potential to apply experiences relating to sustainable energy use in Antarctic operations to other energy-using communities. The major conclusions and recommendations from the research include: [1] hydrogen energy technologies are technically viable now for use in Antarctic operations [2] even though there are limitations in hydrogen energy technologies and the design and evaluation tools that are currently available; [3] Social issues are the biggest barrier to the implementation of novel energy technologies such as hydrogen into the Australian Antarctic community; [4] Local environmental issues are not significant as drivers for change to Antarctic energy systems; [5] The use of hydrogen energy technologies in small-scale applications is expected to be the largest and most viable market for hydrogen technologies in Antarctic applications in the near-term; [6] efforts to introduce renewable energy generation and storage systems should focus on achieving less than 100% independence from fossil fuel supplies; [7] Antarctic communities are more likely to benefit from the activities of others in the evaluation and implementation of hydrogen energy technologies than to be leaders in the development of early markets, even though certain characteristics do make them attractive as early adopter markets; [8] The high level of technical and social/cultural changes required within communities to facilitate a transfer away from fossil fuel-based energy economies will require carefully developed strategies.

description: As Virtual Reality (VR) games become more popular, it is crucial to understand how deceptive game design patterns manifest and impact player experiences in this emerging medium. Our study sheds light on the presence and effects of manipulative design techniques in commercial VR games compared to a traditional computer game. We conducted an autoethnography study and developed a VR Deceptive Game Design Assessment Guide based on a critical literature review. Using our guide, we compared how deceptive patterns in a popular computer game are different from two commercial VR titles. While VR's technological constraints, such as battery life and limited temporal manipulation, VR's unique sensory immersion amplified the impact of emotional and sensory deception. Current VR games showed similar but evolved forms of deceptive design compared to the computer game. We forecast more sophisticated player manipulation as VR technology advances. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of how deceptive game design persists and escalates in VR. We highlight the urgent need to develop ethical design guidelines for the rapidly advancing VR games industry.

description: We use queuing-related behavior as an instrument for assessing the social appeal of alternative cultural norms. Specifically, we study the behavior of rational and sophisticated individuals who stand in a given queue waiting to be served, and who, in order to speed up the process, consider switching to another queue. We look at two regimes that govern the possible order in which the individuals stand should they switch to the other queue: a regime in which cultural convention, social norms, and basic notions of fairness require that the order in the initial queue is preserved, and a regime without such cultural inhibitions, in which case the order in the other queue is random, with each configuration or sequence being equally likely. We seek to find out whether in these two regimes the aggregate of the behaviors of self-interested individuals adds up to the social optimum defined as the shortest possible total waiting time. To do this, we draw on a Nash Equilibrium setting. We find that in the case of the preserved order, the equilibrium outcomes are always socially optimal. However, in the case of the random order, unless the number of individuals is small, the equilibrium outcomes are not socially optimal.

description: We present a new class of high-order imaginary time propagators for path-integral Monte Carlo simulations by subtracting lower order propagators. By requiring all terms of the extrapolated propagator be sampled uniformly, the subtraction only affects the potential part of the path integral. The negligible violation of positivity of the resulting path integral at small time steps has no discernable affect on the accuracy of our method. Thus in principle arbitrarily high order algorithms can be devised for path-integral Monte Carlo simulations. We verify this claim is by showing that fourth, sixth, and eighth order convergence can indeed be achieved in solving for the ground state of strongly interacting quantum many-body systems such as bulk liquid $^4$He.

description: Attitude-based interventions are often a key element in attempts to change behavior, but do not always have the expected effect. A reason for the lack of success may be that people have two types of attitudes, explicit (introspectively accessible, what people say they mean) and implicit attitudes (not accessible to conscious introspection, cannot be measured by questionnaires, but by other experiments methods). Implicit attitudes are assessed by measuring participants implicit associations between a target category (here drunk-driving and sober-driving) and valence categories (here good and bad words). International research shows that a person’s implicit associations’ sensitivity can be changed by relatively simple behavioral methods. This study aims to adjust existing methods of implicit associations’ measurement and of implicit associations change, to measure and change implicit associations towards drunk-driving. As a first step, implicit associations towards drunk-driving and sober-driving were measured with the Go/No-Go Associations Task (GNAT), and the implicit associations change was performed with behavioral training method, the Avoid/Approach Task (AAT). The preliminary results show that the GNAT successfully measures implicit associations towards drunk-driving and sober-driving. Also, the preliminary results show that the implicit associations towards drunk-driving and sober-driving were changed with the AAT. The results are promising as it looks like both instruments are applicable. The study has both national and international value, as the first study that measures implicit attitudes towards drunk-driving and also the first to try to change drunk-driving implicit attitudes. Pending a complete sample and further analysis, the results will reveal drunk-driving attitudes and if these attitudes can be changed in a socially beneficial ways.

description: A spherical topological manifold of dimension n-1 forms a prototile on its cover, the (n-1)-sphere. The tiling is generated by the fixpoint-free action of the group of deck transformations. By a general theorem, this group is isomorphic to the first homotopy group. Multiplicity and selection rules appear in the form of reduction of group representations. A basis for the harmonic analysis on the (n-1)-sphere is given by the spherical harmonics which transform according to irreducible representations of the orthogonal group. The deck transformations form a subgroup, and so the representations of the orthogonal group can be reduced to those of this subgroup. Upon reducing to the identity representation of the subgroup, the reduced subset of spherical harmonics becomes periodic on the tiling and tunes the harmonic analysis on the (n-1)-sphere to the manifold. A particular class of spherical 3-manifolds arises from the Platonic polyhedra. The harmonic analysis on the Poincare dodecahedral 3-manifold was analyzed along these lines. For comparison we construct here the harmonic analysis on simplicial spherical manifolds of dimension n=1,2,3. Harmonic analysis applied to the cosmic microwave background by selection rules can provide evidence for multiply connected cosmic topologies.

Dietary lipid factors influencing sterol and fatty acid metabolism in laying hens
Creators: name: Sim, Jeong Seok
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Two feeding trials were conducted with 30-week-old single comb white leghorns fed two basal diets containing 8% of hydrogenated coconut oil or safflower oil. These basal diets were fed with or without supplements of \% cholesterol (ch), 2-fo soysterols (st) or in combination (ch+st). Trial 1 was designed to study the sensitivity of laying hens in response to dietary lipid factors and to compare the mode of changes in serum and egg yolk concentrations by weekly determination of their sterol levels during a feeding period with no soysterol supplementation followed by a period with soysterol supplementation. Objectives of trial 2 were to study the effects of dietary lipid factors on the serum and egg yolk levels and to delineate their roles or mechanisms. Changes in egg yolk sterol levels caused by dietary lipid factors were generally parallel to, and preceded by, those in serum sterol levels. This indicated that the egg sterols originated from the circulating labile sterol pool. Safflower oil suppressed and hydrogenated coconut oil elevated the sterol levels in both serum and egg yolk. Cholesterol feeding with dietary safflower oil increased the absorption of cholesterol, resulting in an increase of serum and egg sterol levels as compared to sterol levels of hens fed Hydrogenated coconut oil. Dietary soysterols supplementation resulted in a decrease in both serum and egg yolk sterols which was demonstrated in the presence of dietary cholesterol as well as cholesterol-free treatments. The apparent absorption of cholesterol was not retarded by the simultaneous feeding of cholesterol and soysterols. However, soysterol feeding accelerated the fecal excretion of bile acids and catabolic products of neutral sterols. The apparent absorption of plant sterols was 11%. Absorbability Of plant sterols in laying hens was further supported by detection of these sterols in tissue and egg yolk. The absorption of the plant sterols was, however,. Slightly decreased when cholesterol was fed simultaneously. Cholesterol feeding increased total lipid content in liver and serum, whereas soysterol feeding reduced or diminished lipid accumulation caused by the cholesterol treatment. Both dietary cholesterol and soysterols altered the fatty acid composition of liver, serum and egg yolk lipids by increasing oleic acid and decreasing palmitic and/or stearic acids. These changes were significantly greater upon feeding cholesterol than soysterols. However, the simultaneous feeding of cholesterol with soysterols exerted the least effect on the fatty acid composition in liver. The possibility that soysterols affected biosynthesis and/or oxidative catabolism of fatty acids in the liver of laying hens in a similar fashion as cholesterol was discussed.

description: The idea of designing a control system that can adjust its own structure and parameters to cope with a specified purpose, was very appealing. This thesis investigates the application of adaptive control using pole-zero placement method to control the Automatic Voltage Controller of a Synchronous generator. In this investigation the recursive least squares with exponential forgetting factor was used to identify the plant parameters.

description: I 2013 offentliggjorde Havarikommissionen for vejtrafikulykker (HVU) deres konklusioner i forbindelse med undersøgelsen af ulykker med fodgængere. I rapporten peges blandt andet på, at der bør gennemføres en undersøgelse af risikoforhold i forbindelse med busstoppesteder, idet flere fodgængerulykker er sket i forbindelse med busstoppesteder. På denne baggrund igangsatte Vejdirektoratet en opgave, der via et litteraturstudie, ulykkesanalyse og adfærdsstudie vurderer behovet for anbefalinger vedr. ind-/udstigningsforhold, adfærd m.v. ved busstoppesteder. Opgaven er gennemført i tre trin og i tidsrummet juni 2016 til november 2016: • Litteraturanalyse – hvis formål var at give det overordnede indblik i problemstillingen samt hvilke fokuspunkter, man bør være opmærksom på • Ulykkesanalyse af 5 års personskadeulykker – formålet var at afdække personskadeulykker i forbindelse med busstoppesteder, herunder omfanget/andelen af samtlige personskadeulykker • Adfærdsstudie – baseret på indhentet viden fra litteraturstudiet suppleret med ulykkesanalysen havde adfærdsstudiet til formål at afdække eventuelle uhensigtsmæssigheder i stoppesteders udformning m.v. Et kendetegn er, at især yngre og uerfarne trafikanter er involveret og kommer enten alvorligt til skade eller bliver dræbt. Ses på fordelingen mellem land og by kan det på baggrund af både litteraturstudiet og ulykkesanalysen (analyse af personskadeulykker i en 5-årige periode for hele Danmark) konkluderes, at langt den overvejende del af ulykkerne sker i byområder (ca. 90 %). Såvel litteraturstudiet som observationerne peger på, at det især er trafikanternes (herunder primært fodgængeres) adfærd, der er årsagen til den øgede risiko. Især to typer adfærd præger billedet: • Rødgænger • "Tilløber" (passagerer der skynder sig over kørebanen for at nå en holdende bus uden at have orienteret sig tilstrækkeligt). Afslutningsvis er der opstillet en række forslag der har til formål at reducere risikoen ved busstoppesteder.

description: A completely new approach to the Ising model in 1 to 5 dimensions is developed. We employ $p,q$-binomial coefficients, a generalisation of the binomial coefficients, to describe the magnetisation distributions of the Ising model. For the complete graph this distribution corresponds exactly to the limit case $p=q$. We take our investigation to the simple $d$-dimensional lattices for $d=1,2,3,4,5$ and fit $p,q$-binomial distributions to our data, some of which are exact but most are sampled. For $d=1$ and $d=5$ the magnetisation distributions are remarkably well-fitted by $p,q$-binomial distributions. For $d=4$ we are only slightly less successful, while for $d=2,3$ we see some deviations (with exceptions!) between the $p,q$-binomial and the Ising distribution. We begin the paper by giving results on the behaviour of the $p,q$-distribution and its moment growth exponents given a certain parameterization of $p,q$. Since the moment exponents are known for the Ising model (or at least approximately for $d=3$) we can predict how $p,q$ should behave and compare this to our measured $p,q$. The results speak in favour of the $p,q$-binomial distribution's correctness regarding their general behaviour in comparison to the Ising model. The full extent to which they correctly model the Ising distribution is not settled though.

description: Desktop environments can integrate augmented reality (AR) head-worn devices to support 3D representations, visualizations, and interactions in a novel yet familiar setting. As users navigate across the dual realities -- desktop and AR -- a way to move 3D objects between them is needed. We devise three baseline transition techniques based on common approaches in the literature and evaluate their usability and practicality in an initial user study (N=18). After refining both our transition techniques and the surrounding technical setup, we validate the applicability of the overall concept for real-world activities in an expert user study (N=6). In it, computational chemists followed their usual desktop workflows to build, manipulate, and analyze 3D molecular structures, but now aided with the addition of AR and our transition techniques. Based on our findings from both user studies, we provide lessons learned and takeaways for the design of 3D object transition techniques in desktop + AR environments.

description: En uheldsanalyse af et kryds bygger ofte på et lille antal politiregistrerede uheld. Medmindre uheldene peger i én bestemt retning, er det derfor vanskeligt at give konkrete løsningsforslag til, hvordan sikkerheden kan forbedres. For at øge datagrundlaget kan konfliktstudier benyttes som et supplement til uheldsanalyserne. Med henblik på at undersøge hvilke informationer et konfliktstudie kan bidrage med i en trafiksikkerhedsanalyse, er to kryds i Jammerbugt Kommune blevet analyseret på baggrund af en måneds videooptagelser fra hvert kryds. Videoanalyseprogrammet RUBA (Road User Behaviour Analysis) blev anvendt til at udpege potentielle trafikkonflikter, foretage hastighedsmålinger og registrere køretøjer, som kører i den forkerte side af vejen gennem krydset, f.eks. i forbindelse med overhaling. Resultaterne viser, at datagrundlaget øges betydeligt, når der foretages et konfliktstudie. I de pågældende kryds er der registreret hhv. ét og fem politiregistrerede uheld over en femårig periode (2012-2016), mens der blev fundet hhv. 23 og 35 interessante hændelser ud fra en måneds optagelser. Analyserne viser desuden, at konfliktstudier kan afsløre sikkerhedsmæssige problemer, før de resulterer i uheld.

The fisheries biology of the Tasmanian stocks of Haliotis rubra
Creators: name: Prince, Jeremy Duncan
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The fishery for Haliotis rubra or blacklip abalone is Tasmania's most valuable fishery, with a landed value of approximately $50 million in 1988. Despite the fact that catch rates have remained relatively stable since 1970, commercial abalone divers in Tasmania are expressing grave doubts about the long term sustainability of this fishery. The aim of this study was to document the biology of H. rubra and the nature of the fishery in order to re-assess the fishery biology of this species, and current methods of stock assessment. For this purpose, a broad ranging study of the structure and dynamics of the pre-recruit, and recruited, abalone populations has been completed. The ramifications of the results of this study have been explored using a model which simulates the dynamics of a single unit stock of abalone. Finally, in the light of these results I have re-assessed historical trends in catch per unit effort within the Tasmanian abalone fishery. These results show that the structure of7-J. rub-ra-/populations is more dynamic than generally recognized, with high levels of recruitment and mortality amongst juveniles. Juveniles are cryptic, emerging onto the surface of the reef where they are vulnerable to commercial exploitation, as they mature. The emergent adult population is relatively stable being characterized by lower levels of growth and mortality. On a spatial scale of 10-100 m the adult population is relatively mobile, exhibiting patterns of movement which could lead to aggregation and dispersion in response to changes in population pressure. In contrast the scale of larval dispersal is apparently restricted to lO's of meters. These results suggest that the scale of a unit stock in this species can be measure on the scale of lOO's of meters and explain the spatial heterogeneity which is characteristic of abalone stocks. Commercial divers have a high degree of knowledge about the spatial distribution of abalone and target known aggregations of stock. Divers allocate their effort according to a range of priorities, one of which is the expected catch rate. When this characteristic of the fishery is combined with the biology of the species it is apparent that, on the spatial and temporal scale of commercial catch and effort data, catch rate is unlikely to be a reliable index of stock abundance. A re-assessment of the catch per unit effort data confirms the conclusion, that a wide range of factors determine catch rate trends in the commercial fishery. For this reason standard methods of stock assessment are not applicable to the fishery. Developing new techniques of stock assessment and management, based on survey data and detailed knowledge of the relationship between stock and recruitment offers the best long term hope for managing this fishery.

description: Blue stragglers have been found in all populations. These objects are important in both stellar evolution and stellar population synthesis. Much evidence shows that blue stragglers are relevant to primordial binaries. Here, we summarize the links of binary evolution and blue stragglers, describe the characteristics of blue stragglers from different binary evolutionary channels, and show their consequences for binary population synthesis, such as for the integrated spectral energy distribution, the colour-magnitude diagram, the specific frequency, and the influences on colours etc..

description: COWI præsenterer på Trafikdage en konceptualiseret tilgang til skoleankomstanalyser. Skolernes nærområde er typisk der, hvor der kan opnås den største, koncentrerede trafiksikkerhedsmæssige effekt. Derfor har COWI udviklet en tidssvarende metode til at gennemføre netop skoleankomstanalyserne. Metoden indebærer filmoptagelse af trafikafviklingen med en drone, analyse af videoen med avanceret analysesoftware og på baggrund af analysen at udpege problemstillinger og hertil knyttede anbefalinger til forbedringer. Med COWIs koncept kan der med få ressourcer gennemføres en analyse, som giver en ensartet metodisk tilgang på tværs af skoler og geografier. I dette paper beskrives konceptet, ligesom der gives eksempler på anvendelse i Fredensborg Kommune.
