description: This article’s aim is to inquire into two questions, that is: is the nature of the absolute space-time fabric fundamentally “still” and at times perturbated by gravitational waves?, or, is it pervaded continuously by them?; hypothetically (and therefore also realistically were it not always subject to “swallowing” the “other” which finds itself out of it) a black hole isolated in a specific space without any interaction with anything, and without the existence of the latter (the anything, namely other masses) in this imaginary space, will the black hole endure in time with the same characteristics of when it was posit? Meaning will the black hole maintain the same volume and the same density and pressure constantly in time?, and will the space-time curvature it would generate remain the same constantly in time?, would, as a consequence, the event horizon vary its “width” in time? As a last thing, would the black hole be able to autonomously generate gravitational waves?
These are the two questions to which this article wants to answer, and the second would produce answers which will have consequences of certain significance.
The answers to the questions the article poses, and the paths to travel associated with them, could be at times already taken for granted by the scientific community, even if never directly addressed, and may instead at times be completely new. The calculations carried out will be reduced to the minimum necessary to draw demonstrations of the answers, avoiding occupying useless time and to “swirl” in calculations which in particular situations could be dubious, making hence prevail and stand out the logical inferences and the theoretical concepts.
The article is split in two sections, starting to tackle the analysis of the nature of the space-time fabric in “INTRODUCTION 1.0”, and instead starts the discussion on the exposed issue related to the black hole in “INTRODUCTION 2.0”.

description: Wachsende Anforderungen an Wärme-, Brand- und Schallschutz führen zu einem stetig ansteigenden Dämmstoffeinsatz im Bauwesen. Mineralwolle hat dabei einen Marktanteil von ca. 50%. Gleichwohl wird Mineralwolle aktuell fast ausschließlich deponiert, obwohl ein Recycling technisch möglich ist. Gründe, die dem Recycling rückgebauter Mineralfasern entgegenstehen, sind neben logistischen, wirtschaftlichen und rechtlichen Aspekten insbesondere die unbekannte Mineralwollchemie und die anhaftenden Störstoffe aus dem Rückbau. Unter Berücksichtigung künftig knapper werdender mineralischer Ressourcen und der bevorstehenden Änderung der Deponieverordnung kommt der Behebung von solchen Hindernissen eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Zur Einhaltung einer freigezeichneten Faserchemie unterliegt die Mineralwolleherstellung strengen Anforderungen. Geringfügige Mengen Störstoffe haben zudem großen Einfluss auf die Anlagentechnik. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsvorhabens konnten alle wichtigen Störstoffe für ein closed-loop Recycling identifiziert und mit Grenzwerten versehen werden. Tests an Proben eines Wertstoffhofs zeigen, dass diese Grenzwerte regelmäßig überschritten werden. Ein Konzept zur Aufbereitung rückgebauter Mineralwolle wurde theoretisch entwickelt und befindet sich aktuell in der Testphase. Es gelang mit Hilfe von Nahinfrarotspektroskopie (NIR) eine Methode zu entwickeln mit der Glas- und Steinwolle vor Ort zerstörungsfrei und schnell differenziert werden können.

description: This thesis aims to answer two challenging questions: First, what part of network traffic and power data is worth showing? Second, in which way can it be visualized best? As an use case we decided to combine two independent data sources. On the one hand we analyze traffic and energy consumption data of Switzerland’s National Research and Education Network. On the other hand we use carbon dioxide emission and actionable electricity data. Based on that, we design and implement a GUI, while having UI/UX experience in mind and ensure reliable, modular and scalable code. We hope that our work can be of help to researchers and students in the field of computer networks, network operators in industry, or anyone else interested in this field of research in general.

A number of beetles were identified as members of this subgenus, but from the illustrations given by Kirschenhofer (2012), they appear to be neither of the two species expected in east Asia, Brachinus (Brachynidius) modestus Schmidt-Göbel, 1846, or Brachinus (Brachynidius) puncticollis Schmidt-Göbel, 1846. Material: 1 ex. W.T.L., 6.xi.14; 1 ex. W.T.L., 11.xi.06. Biology: Imago found November. Can be attracted to light. It may well be that this is a higher altitude species, descending to lower altitudes due to the temperature drop which usually occurs in November. Fully winged and capable of flight.

description: Textile sensors transform our everyday clothing into a means to track movement in a completely unobtrusive way. One major hindrance to the adoption of “smart” clothing is that connections between rigid and textile elements are often unreliable and laborious to produce. Distributed sensing is a promising solution to this problem and has been demonstrated on the bench. We present a smart garment that can monitor three arm joint angles from a continuous fibre with a single connection point. We achieved around 5° error when compared to optical motion capture.
Data-driven Learning and Optimization-based Control for HVAC Systems in SBB Trains

description: In Switzerland, the demand for public transport has not only recovered but also surpassed pre- COVID-19 levels. The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) aims to meet this progressive demand without exceeding an annual energy consumption of 2’500 GWh. To achieve this, it is essential to enhance the energy efficiency of the railway network and trains. The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, account for a considerable fraction of the net power consumption of a typical modern train. This study aims to investigate the advantages and potential energy savings of applying a model predictive controller (MPC) for regulating the HVAC system on an SBB Regio-Dosto train. To achieve this objective, an existing model was adapted to simulate the control performance of MPC. The simulation incorporates disturbance signals sourced from sensors of operational trains, thereby testing the controller against scenarios and conditions, trains are exposed to in everyday operation. The predictive model active in the MPC is of ARX-type structure, with parameters estimated using training data derived from the pre-existing simulation model. The results of the study, based on simulations across more than 960 hours of genuine operation conditions, indicate that the implementation of a predictive controller could result in about 5- 10% energy savings compared to the baseline controller currently in use. In addition to this, the developed predictive controller exhibits improved robustness against disturbances, primarily due to its capability to anticipate and take proactive control. The findings gained from this study may serve as a basis for SBB’s decision-making process, regarding the investment of more resources in the development of predictive controllers for HVAC systems.

description: The spatial join is one of the most expensive operations in modern spatial database systems. Throughout the years a number of indices, join algorithms, and different approaches have been proposed, yet no clear optimal strategy for performing the join has been found. Recent research has been heavily focused on introducing a number of system level optimisations and utilizing hardware acceleration to speed up the spatial join.
In this work we set out to better understand the spatial join land- scape, in order to best support current research into the spatial join carried out at the ETH Systems Group. We benchmark a number of existing open source CPU and GPU-based systems, diving into de- sign decisions and tradeoffs. We also implement our own single- and multi-threaded version of two well-known spatial algorithms that have shown to be the best performing in their class, namely R-tree Syn- chronous Traversal and Partition Based Sweep Merge. We then bench- mark all these systems on datasets consisting of millions of entries. These datasets include both synthetic and real-world data. Eventually, we find that the our multi-threaded Synchronous Traversal implemen- tation is the best performing algorithm.

description: The intensification and globalization of agriculture has led to the unfolding of significant environmental, economic and social problems in the food system. Agroecology has emerged as a path towards the solution of these crises. Its relevance as a holistic paradigm for food system transformation has been widely recognized. To support its expansion, the mapping of agroecology has emerged as an essential tool to document its development and current state.
No mapping project on agroecological initiatives in Switzerland had been done. The aim of this thesis was thus to identify agroecology-related initiatives and provide an overview of the understanding, development and present state of agroecology in Switzerland. To achieve this, desktop research was combined with 14 key-informant interviews and an online survey distributed to initiatives Swiss-wide.
The term agroecology is not widely used in Switzerland yet but it is starting to influence the policy debate around future food systems in the country. A wide variety of initiatives in the categories of science, practice, social movement, education and living labs is already actively contributing to the agroecological transformation of the Swiss food system. Many of these initiatives do not explicitly refer to agroecology, but they all work in accordance with several agroecological principles.
Continuing strong efforts from social movements to break down economic and political barriers, as well as actively uniting a variety of stakeholders, in particular farmers and food producers, will be crucial for the further development of agroecology in Switzerland.

Pheropsophus (Stenaptinus) javanus Dejean, 1825
Bates (1892) lists a junior synonym of this species, Pheropsophus agnatus Chaudoir 1876 as occurring in Hong Kong. Hrdlièka (2003), however, does not indicate it for Hong Kong. It can be quite common under rocks in gravel or coarse sandy areas adjacent to marshes. Specimens were determined from Habu (1984). Material: 1 ex. Hong Kong, Lantau, Pui O, 26.ii.08, under wet stone; Sight record Hong Kong, Lantau, Pui O, 3.iii.09, under wet stone; 1 ex. Hong Kong, Lantau, Pui O, 11.ix.12, under wet stone; 1 ex.

Biology: Imago found September to March, though this may be biased as accessibility into the marsh habitat is difficult in the summer wet season. This species is common in Pui O under the heaped stones and rocks in the gravel / coarse sandy areas forming the banks of the wet marsh. Found singularly or in pairs.
Pheropsophus (Stenaptinus) jessoensis Morawitz, 1862
Chaudoir (1876a) noted that a specimen of this species was sold to him as coming from Hong Kong. There is one modern record, which was identified from Habu (1984). Material: 1 ex. Hong Kong, Kam Tin, Tin Sam Tsuen 16.iv.08 (Leg. Yiu Vor).
Pheropsophus (Stenaptinus) occipitalis (MacLeay, 1825)
Andrewes (1930) lists P. fuscicollus (Dejean 1825) a junior synonym of this species occurring in Hong Kong. Hrdlièka (2003) lists Hong Kong for this species.

description: The compendium of flood risk mitigation measures aims to support UNHCR field staff, partners, and other practitioners with an overview of adequate risk mitigation measures against flooding in humanitarian settlements.This compendium supports flood risk mitigation humanitarian settlements by presenting adequate flood risk mitigation measures alongside technical drawings and good practices. It has been developed based on a systematic literature review alongside the consultation of flood risk and humanitarian experts. It is guided by the concept of integrated risk management, which considers the preparation for, response to, and recovery from natural hazards. The introduced measures mainly focus on the phases before a flood event, either caused by heavy rainfall (pluvial floods) or the overflow of a waterbody (riverine floods). Combining various complementing measures is encouraged to ensure the most effective risk mitigation.

description: Research has demonstrated that preschool teachers are particularly prone to develop burnout symptoms, such as emotional exhaustion. However, which workplace conditions are particularly related to burnout symptoms in preschool teachers remains widely unknown. Hence, this study aims to disentangle personal characteristics (e.g. educational degree, working experience) and structural as well as social conditions of preschool teachers’ work environment (e.g. teacher–child ratio, team climate) in relation to emotional exhaustion. We draw on data collected from a nation-wide sample of 1,394 preschool teachers nested in 204 preschools. Multilevel analysis demonstrated that center differences explained only 5.8% of the overall variance in levels of emotional exhaustion. Emotional exhaustion was strongly associated with social experiences at the workplace, but much less with structural or personal job conditions. Hence, practical interventions should also focus on social aspects, such as team cohesion and dealing with challenges in parent-teacher collaborations.

description: Female students are often underrepresented in natural science studies, contributing to the leaky pipeline persistence. Although several factors linked to gender have been shown to influence study choices, such as self-efficacy and a sense of belonging, there is a lack of research on gender-related differences in metacognitive calibration. In the present investigation, we examined gender differences in natural science undergraduate students’ metacognitive calibration and response confidence when solving a test battery covering fundamental concepts in biology. We found no gender-related differences concerning their overall metacognitive calibration. However, female students demonstrated significantly higher underconfidence ratings than their male colleagues (F(1, 153) = 11.74, p < .001, d = 0.57, 95% CI = [0.24, 0.91]). Essentially, they were more prone to judge their provided answers to be wrong despite being correct. These results suggest a subconscious tendency to underestimate their own abilities, potentially influencing study choice early on and further dampening academic performance. Future work could focus on exploring methods to enhance students' metacognitive calibration and, ultimately, contribute to efforts aimed at addressing the gender gap and promoting female students in STEM subjects.

description: This article explores the characteristics linguistics of bioculturems French and Uzbek. The analysis focuses on how the two cultures perceive, name and conceptualize the living world, in based on elements lexical related to botany, zoology, agriculture, and medicine traditional. The comparative study highlights potential divergences and convergences in the representation ecosystem linguistics respective. It is propose to analyze vocabulary specific, idiomatic expressions and practices traditional to capture cultural nuances in the relationship between man and nature. Historical and geographical influences will be also examined to understand how they have shaped biocultures and their linguistic expression. Finally, the article will discuss methodological implications for the comparative study of representations linguistics of the world living in different cultures.

Abroscelis anchoralis anchoralis (Chevrolat, 1845)
Chevrolat described this species from the environs of Macao. Chaudoir (1865), Redtenbacher (1867), Schilder (1911), Horn (1930), Cheng and Hill (1980), Lee & Winney (1981), Hill, Hore & Thornton (1982), Wiesner (1992), Chen et al. 2002, Hua (2002), Puchkov & Matalin (2003) and Shook & Wiesner (2006) list this species as occurring in Hong Kong. Material: 2 exx. Hong Kong, Dong Ping Chau, 9.vi.08 (1 ex. JWPC); Sight record, Hong Kong, Lantau, Tai Long Wan, 30.vii.98. Biology: Imago found June to July. It can still be locally common on pristine beaches in the summer months. Amazingly it can be seen at midday, with cloudless skies, running on the extremely hot sand. Fully winged and readily flies, sometimes to a distance of over 10 metres to escape danger.
Abroscelis psammodroma psammodroma (Chevrolat, 1845)
Another species Chevrolat described from the environs of Macao. Listed as occurring in Hong Kong by Chaudoir (1865), Schilder (1911), Horn (1930), Wiesner (1992), Hua (2002), Puchkov & Matalin (2003) and Shook & Wiesner (2006).

Chrysaperda mimica

description: Chrysaperda mimica sp. nov. (Fig. 1)
Male. Head with integument black and shining in occiput and superior half of frons between upper lobes of eyes; genae and inferior half of frons clear yellow with scarce short erect hairs. Antennae with integument of scape pale yellow, antennomeres II, III black; IV to VI whitish, VII to XI blackish. Thorax and elytra reddish-brown, abdomen and legs pale yellow.
Frons concave between eyes; upper lobe connected to lower lobe by 2–3 rows of facets at narrowest point; lower lobe much larger than upper lobe, as high as yellow part of genae below. Antennae slender, extending beyond elytral apices by one antennomere. Scape slightly recurved and dilated to apex; antennomere III two times length of IV; antennomeres VII to XI greatly reduced in length. Antennomeres with short and sparse pubescence on ventral side.
Prothorax cylindrical, distinctly narrower than elytral base, with slight lateral protuberance at middle. Pronotum with a median callus, very slightly projected; 1–2 rows of punctures along anterior and posterior margins. Prosternal process narrow, less than one third width of procoxae. Mesosternal process approximately 2/3 width of a mesocoxa.
Elytron with humerus strongly projecting posterolaterally, lateral carinae clearly delimitated from humerus to apex. Apex subrounded, with a minute spicule in marginal side. Punctures minute and dense at anterior half, becoming shallower and sparse at distal third. Yellowish sparse pubescence more dense in distal third. Legs with femora and tibiae sublinear; metafemora extending to third urosternite. Apex of urotergite and urosternite transversely truncate. Etymology. The specific epithet is a Latin adjective, feminine gender, meaning imitator, and refers to the appearance of an insect of the Chrysomelidae subfamily Galerucinae.
Measurements (mm), male. Total length, 9.0–10.5; prothorax length, 1.3–2.2; prothorax width, 1.8–2.5; elytral length, 6.4–7.8; humeral width, 2.8–3.5.
Type material. Holotype male, ECUADOR, Morona-Santiago: Macas, 1300m, 11.VIII.1990, M. Cooper leg. (BMNH). Paratypes: male, same locality and collector, 14.VIII.1990 (BMNH); male, 28.VII.1993 (MNRJ).
Remarks. Martins & Galileo (2014b) lists four species of Chrysaperda, two of them known from Ecuador, one from Ecuador and Peru and one from Brazil (Amazonas). C. mimica sp. nov. can be distinguished from the four species by the unicolorous, reddish-brown elytra. In all the other species of Chrysaperda, the elytra are black or metallic blue, with a transverse yellow fascia at the apex.

description: A method was devised to measure cooling-induced stress in the mechanical
structure of CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) barrel ECAL (electromagnetic
calorimeter) supermodules. Specifically, the stress amount and distribution
occurring consequent to cooling to the new design specification for
the HL-LHC (High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider) was analyzed. The
results were then put into context by comparison with supermodule lifting,
an impossible to circumvent operation during installation, to demonstrate
absence of cooling-related structural threats. Furthermore, the radiation
hardness of several devices, intended for future use in the power distribution
system of ECAL trigger tower electronics, was investigated. No adverse effects,
ensuing from the radiative conditions imposed by the HL-LHC, could
be observed for the examined components.
CPU-GPU Co-processing for Vector Search

information retrieval

description: Vector similarity search is key to the modern information retrieval and machine learning systems. Among the approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search method, product quantization (PQ) is one of the the most popular search algorithms due to the surging size of large vector datasets. The end-to-end PQ search process includes a scanning phase over the quantized vectors to evaluate vector similarity and a topK selection phase to aggregate the result sets. Existing CPU-based approach is slow during the scanning phase. The GPU-based approach is fast in the scanning phase due to the many GPU cores, but the topK selection process is not as efficient and consumes most of the search time. 
    
The emerging CPU-GPU co-processing platforms with fast interconnections between processors shows possibility of speeding up vector search tasks. We propose to combine the high bandwidth of GPU during the PQ decoding phase and the high efficiency of CPU during topK-selection phase. To achieve this goal, we experiment with different scenarios to model each building block of PQ based ANN search based on faiss library. Based on the performance model, we are able to estimate the performance for arbitrary-performance interconnects between CPUs and GPUs.

description: Genus Calochroa Hope, 1838
Calochroa flavomaculata (Hope, 1831)
There are no recent records of this very distinctive species in Hong Kong. It was apparently listed by Andrewes (1930) and subsequently listed as occurring in Hong Kong by Wiesner (1992), Puchkov & Matalin (2003), Wiesner (2004), Sawada & Wiesner (2006b), Shook & Wiesner (2006) and Wiesner (2008). Sawada & Wiesner (2004) and Wiesner (2013a) have the subspecies C. flavomaculata flavomaculata (Hope, 1831) as occurring in Hong Kong. It may well be that Andrewes (1930) listed it in confusion with the similarily named Cosmodela aurulenta flavomaculata Chevrolat.
Calochroa interruptofasciata interruptofasciata (Schmidt-Göebel, 1846)
A junior synonym of the flavolineata form of this species, Cicindela ditissima Bates 1872 was described from Hong Kong specimens and is listed as occurring here by Demoor (1886). Listed as occurring in Hong Kong by Gestro (1893), Fleutiaux (1893), Dover & Ribeiro (1923; as the form flavolineata), Horn (1930), Fowler (1912), Wiesner (1992), Hua (2002), Puchkov & Matalin (2003) and Shook & Wiesner (2006). Biology: There are still occasional recent records of this species, though it must generally be uncommon or rare. Mell (1931) noted only one record for Guangdong province in mid July at 350 m altitude.

Cicindela (Sophiodela) chinensis chinensis De Geer, 1774
Bates (1873a), Mell (1931) and Hua (2002) list this species for Hong Kong. It seems likely that Bowring never recorded this species from Hong Kong as in a letter dated 2nd June 1851 he seemed excited at finding this species near Guangzhou: "The other day, when up at Canton, I got no less than thirty-two specimens of C. Chinensis —magnificent fellows, as perfect as can be." (Anon 1851). Material: The A.F.C.D.'s insect Museum at Tai Lung Farm has a specimen dated 18 May 1997. Biology: This species is quite large, seems never to have been common in Hong Kong and if still extant is probably quite rare locally. Nowadays in China it appears to be associated with mountains, though Mell (1931) commented that it was found throughout Guangdong province where rice is grown and was very common from sea level to 500 m altitude on pathways though rice paddy fields, and seems to be associated with water. Mell also noted this species was the earliest of the Cicindelinae to emerge in the province, giving the time of appearance as early March to the beginning of October.
