Dynamic HVAC Operations Based on Occupancy Patterns With Real-Time Vision- Based System
Creators: name: Siliang Lu
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 120199 Architecture not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: An integrated heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is one of the most important components to determining the energy consumption of the entire building. For commercial buildings, particularly office buildings and schools, the heating and cooling loads are largely dependent on the occupant behavioral patterns such as occupancy rates and their activities. Therefore, if HVAC systems can respond to dynamic occupancy profiles, there is a large potential to reduce energy consumption. However, currently, most of existing HVAC systems operate without the ability to adjust supply air rate accordingly in response to the dynamic profiles of occupants. Due to this inefficiency, much of the HVAC energy use is wasted, particularly when the conditioned spaces are unoccupied or under-occupied (less occupants than the intended design). The solution to this inefficiency is to control HVAC system based on dynamic occupant profiles. Motivated by this, the research provides a real-time vision-based occupant pattern recognition system for occupancy counting as well as activity level classification. The proposed vision-based system is integrated into the existing HVAC simulation model of a U.S. office building to investigate the level of energy savings as well as thermal comfort improvement compared to traditional existing HVAC control system. The research is divided into two parts. The first part is to use an open source library based on neural network for real-time occupant counting and background subtraction method for activity level classification with a common static RGB camera. The second part utilizes a DOE reference office building model with customized dynamic occupancy schedule, including the number of occupant schedule, activity schedule and clothing insulation schedule to identify the potential energy savings compared with conventional HVAC control system. The research results revealed that vision-based systems can detect occupants and classify activity level in real time with accuracy around 90% when there are not many occlusions. Additionally, the dynamic occupant schedules indeed can bring about energy savings. Details of vision-based system, methodology, simulation configurations and results will be presented in the paper as well as potential opportunities for use throughout multiple types of commercial buildings, specifically focused on office and educational institutes.

description: We study the role of diquarks in light baryons through point to point baryon correlators. We contrast results from quenched simulations with ones with two flavors of dynamical overlap fermions. The scalar, pseudoscalar and axial vector diquarks are combined with light quarks to form color singlets. The quenched simulation shows large zero mode effects in correlators containing the scalar and pseudoscalar diquark. The two scalar diquarks created by gamma_5 and gamma_0gamma_5 lead to different behavior in baryon correlators, showing that the interaction of diquarks with the third light quark matters: we do not see an isolated diquark. In our quark mass range, the scalar diquark created by gamma_5 seems to play a greater role than the others.

Abstract
The Connection between X-ray- and Radio-Selected BL Lacertae Objects
Creators: name: Padovani, Paolo

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We explain the properties of X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects, under the assumption that they constitute the small minority of the BL Lac population with energy cutoff located in the UV/X-ray band, as suggested by their multifrequency spectra. In particular, we derive their X-ray luminosity function, log N-log S, and radio flux distribution starting from radio selected BL Lacs using a method that does not require any free parameters. Our hypothesis is at variance with the most common explanation for the existence of two classes of BL Lacs, namely that X-ray selected objects are viewed significantly off the beaming axis while radio-selected ones have their jets more aligned with the line of sight. In this case, in fact, X-ray selected sources should be intrinsically more numerous than objects selected in the radio band at a fixed value of some isotropic luminosity such as that of the diffuse radio emission. While also accounting for most of the properties of BL Lacs detected in current X-ray surveys, this latter scenario would predict their radio emission to be dominated by the extended (unbeamed) component, in contrast with observations. We also address the question of the negative evolution apparently exhibited by X-ray selected BL Lacs, showing that neither recognition problems nor a break in the X-ray spectrum are likely to be responsible for it. Our hypothesis explains in a simple way the bimodal distribution of BL Lacs in the alpha_ro - alpha_ ox diagram. It also makes specific predictions for the X-ray, radio, and optical properties of BL Lacs which will be tested by future deep X-ray surveys.

description: The proliferation of high-throughput sequencing machines ensures rapid generation of up to billions of short nucleotide fragments in a short period of time. This massive amount of sequence data can quickly overwhelm today's storage and compute infrastructure. This paper explores the use of hardware acceleration to significantly improve the runtime of short-read alignment, a crucial step in preprocessing sequenced genomes. We focus on the Levenshtein distance (edit-distance) computation kernel and propose the ASAP accelerator, which utilizes the intrinsic delay of circuits for edit-distance computation elements as a proxy for computation. Our design is implemented on an Xilinx Virtex 7 FPGA in an IBM POWER8 system that uses the CAPI interface for cache coherence across the CPU and FPGA. Our design is $200\times$ faster than the equivalent C implementation of the kernel running on the host processor and $2.2\times$ faster for an end-to-end alignment tool for 120-150 base-pair short-read sequences. Further the design represents a $3760\times$ improvement over the CPU in performance/Watt terms.

description: This study explored stakeholder experiences and attitudes regarding the use of ID scanners in licensed venues in Queensland, Australia. In July 2017, the Queensland Government introduced mandatory, networked ID scanners in licensed venues within designated nightlife districts (SNPs). After 10pm, people seeking to enter late-night licensed venues must provide identification, which is verified by the scanner. The scanner also checks whether the patron has any recorded banning notice/s that may preclude entry into the venue. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 66 key stakeholders and analysed using thematic analysis. Stakeholders reported that ID scanners support the enforcement of patron bans. Their mandated use within SNPs allows for accurate and timely identification of patrons, and may offer benefits with respect to reducing and solving crime, and improving patron behaviours. Some concerns were expressed regarding data privacy and the need to ensure procedural fairness and consistent use. Overall, the study highlighted the importance of ongoing monitoring and refining of ID scanner policy, particularly with respect to where and when scanners are used.
2+2=4? Mathematics lost between the pitfalls of essentialism and alternative truths
Creators: name: Kollosche, David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This essay problematises the epistemological status of mathematical knowledge. It is based on the observation that essentialist epistemologies provide no solid basis while relativist epistemologies have not yet convincingly succeeded to explain the objectivity of mathematical knowledge. I will start with three examples from popular media which illustrate that awareness for the problem discussed here has already reached the interested public. I will shortly address popular answers to the problem, only to refute them. I will end the essay by discussions which stay close to the example of 2+2=4, ending with the presentation of possible directions for further understanding and research.

description: Life history timing influences many ecosystem processes including predator-prey interactions, information transfer, disease transmission, ecosystem services, and resource subsidies. Many animals and plants have species-typical annual cycles, but individuals vary in their exact timing of life history events. However, quantifying individual variation in the timing and duration of life history events requires longitudinal sampling and may necessitate advanced analytical techniques if observations are imperfect or asynchrony is prevalent. Our goal was to examine factors that influence variation in molt duration and timing across individual northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris). We quantified the onset and progression of fur loss in 1,178 individual seals over seven years. We found a wide range of molt start dates (95% interval spanning 60.1 days within a single age-sex category) and rapid molt progression (6.0 days in adult females and 10.8 and 10.3 days in juvenile females and males, respectively) with high molt asynchrony (only 20% of individuals in the population molting at the same time). Individual variation in the timing of the molt within age-sex categories was much larger than between categories: 94% of the variation in haul-out duration, 74% of variation in molt start date, and 59% of variation in molt duration was among individuals within age-sex categories. Finally, we discovered that individuals arriving late for the molt spent less time on the beach than earlier arrivers, which allowed them to catch up if they fell behind in their annual cycles. These findings emphasize the importance of quantifying individual variation in critical life history events.

description: The transition from pollinator-mediated outbreeding to selfing has occurred many times in angiosperms. This is generally accompanied by a reduction in traits attracting pollinators, including reduced emission of floral scent. In Capsella, emission of benzaldehyde as a main component of floral scent has been lost in selfing C. rubella by mutation of cinnamate-CoA ligase CNL1. However, the biochemical basis and evolutionary history of this loss remain unknown, as does the reason for the absence of benzaldehyde emission in the independently derived selfer Capsella orientalis. We used plant transformation, in vitro enzyme assays, population genetics and quantitative genetics to address these questions. CNL1 has been inactivated twice independently by point mutations in C. rubella, causing a loss of enzymatic activity. Both inactive haplotypes are found within and outside of Greece, the centre of origin of C. rubella, indicating that they arose before its geographical spread. By contrast, the loss of benzaldehyde emission in C. orientalis is not due to an inactivating mutation in CNL1. CNL1 represents a hotspot for mutations that eliminate benzaldehyde emission, potentially reflecting the limited pleiotropy and large effect of its inactivation. Nevertheless, even closely related species have followed different evolutionary routes in reducing floral scent.

Designing with Animism
Creators: name: Jiyoung  Ko
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Design

description: As technology becomes increasingly intelligent and pervasive in the physical context of daily life, it is crucial to consider the design of technological artifacts to develop new interaction paradigms that can expand technological capabilities, shape behaviors, establish new practices, and broaden our worldview. This thesis proposes using principles of animism to inform the design of interactive objects as a way to encourage people to reflect on their relationships with the world around them, and to perceive objects beyond their roles as mere tools or ephemeral fashion products. Animism, as a design metaphor, can be powerful in creating expressive, affective, and empathetic interactions with interactive objects. Through the use of behavioral, physical, and social metaphors, an animistic object can communicate in a more nuanced way with its changing form and behavior within a given context. An animistic object can connect in multi-sensorial ways to provide an individual and idiosyncratic experience, which can afford one to construct new meanings with their surrounding objects and re-form their relationship with them. Animistic objects aim to create a poetic dialogue between themselves and their humans, fostering a deeper relationship that surpasses their utilitarian and aesthetic value. The goal of this thesis is to define animism in the context of industrial and interaction design, examine dimensions of animistic qualities, and evaluate implications of animistic objects in building rapport between human and artifacts.

description: Women with young children are a growing population experiencing homelessness. Transitional housing services provide shelter and educational programming aimed at fostering the development of skills necessary to attain and maintain basic needs. Adagio Health’s transitional home, Healthy Start House (HSH) served as a case study in which to explore the intersection of design, service and social innovation. The metrics of success outlined by the county for HSH include attaining permanent housing and employment or education. Using a co-creative process, exploratory and generative research uncovered that the service had no clear route to assist the women to develop core competencies to meet the county’s metrics of success. Rather than create a new extension of the current service, this design solution focuses on amplifying the resources and infrastructure already in place to improve the current service delivery. The solution includes an ideal plan for the HSH staff to work with the clients to comprehensively develop their core competencies, and an expanded view of how a money management system helps the clients meet the county’s metrics. We hypothesize, through this system, clients will re-enter society smoothly, armed with the skills and knowledge needed to provide for themselves and their children. While the design generated much enthusiasm from all stakeholders, the concept would benefit from further testing and iterations over a longer length of time to understand if it can, indeed, improve learning and performance outcomes and create sustained behavior change.

description: This thesis uses a qualitative historic analysis to understand the nature of the security threat posed to the Baltic States by the Russian Federation. It analyzes Russian foreign policy and actions in conjunction with Baltic security responses and laws to reveal a security dilemma stemming from ethnic Russian populations in the Baltics whose vulnerability to Russian influence are increased, rather than decreased, by Baltic responses. Finally, this thesis proposes possible policy solutions the United States might pursue to mitigate this threat beyond the use of purely military means and prevent the ability of Russia to threaten the Baltic States and the NATO security alliance

description: We describe a simple method of umbrella trajectory sampling for Markov chains. The method allows the estimation of large-deviation rate functions, for path-extensive dynamic observables, for an arbitrary number of models within a certain family. The general relationship between probability distributions of dynamic observables of members of this family is an extended fluctuation relation. When the dynamic observable is chosen to be entropy production, members of this family include the forward Markov chain and its time reverse, whose probability distributions are related by the expected simple fluctuation relation.

description: The theory of dynamical quantum phase transitions represents an attempt to extend the concept of phase transitions to the far from equilibrium regime. While there are many formal analogies to conventional transitions, it is a major question to which extent it is possible to formulate a nonequilibrium counterpart to a Landau-Ginzburg theory. In this work we take a first step in this direction by constructing an effective free energy for continuous dynamical quantum phase transitions appearing after quantum quenches in the transverse-field Ising chain. Due to unitarity of quantum time evolution this effective free energy becomes a complex quantity transforming the conventional minimization principle of the free energy into a saddle-point equation in the complex plane of the order parameter, which as in equilibrium is the magnetization. We study this effective free energy in the vicinity of the dynamical quantum phase transition by performing an expansion in terms of the complex magnetization and discuss the connections to the equilibrium case. Furthermore, we study the influence of perturbations and signatures of these dynamical quantum phase transitions in spin correlation functions.

description: This paper presents a gender classification schema based on online handwriting. Using samples acquired with a digital tablet that captures the dynamics of the writing, it classifies the writer as a male or a female. The method proposed is allographic, regarding strokes as the structural units of handwriting. Strokes performed while the writing device is not exerting any pressure on the writing surface, pen-up (in-air) strokes, are also taken into account. The method is also text-dependent meaning that training and testing is done with exactly the same text. Text-dependency allows classification be performed with very small amounts of text. Experimentation, performed with samples from the BiosecurID database, yields results that fall in the range of the classification averages expected from human judges. With only four repetitions of a single uppercase word, the average rate of well classified writers is 68%; with sixteen words, the rate rises to an average 72.6%. Statistical analysis reveals that the aforementioned rates are highly significant. In order to explore the classification potential of the pen-up strokes, these are also considered. Although in this case results are not conclusive, an outstanding average of 74% of well classified writers is obtained when information from pen-up strokes is combined with information from pen-down ones.

description: During the Covid-19 pandemic, rich countries employed lockdown and physical distancing policies for transmission control. However, the question still remains whether these measures are also suitable in countries with a fragile economy, which rests mainly on the informal sector. The impacts of lockdown measures in disadvantaged population strata in six low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) were reviewed using i) 93 media reports and ii) 17 published scientific papers. This review showed that those who suffered the most from the lockdown were migrants, workers in the large informal sector, small businesses, slum dwellers, women and elderly, revealing the social, cultural and economic inequalities of societies. Financial and food support for the poor was inadequate and sometimes mismanaged. In the better organized societies, the resilience was stronger (South Korea, Kerala/India) but here also the poor had to suffer the most. It is strongly recommended that outbreak response strategies should particularly focus on the poor and vulnerable population.

description: The large-redshift (z=3.8) quasar 1208+1011 has recently been discovered to be a gravitational lens candidate with a separation of 0.47" between the two imaged components (A and B). NOT (Nordic Optical Telescope) and HST (Hubble Space Telescope) studies from 1992 probing primarily the continuum light show that the amplification of A relative to B is almost achromatic with the canonical value A:B=4+/-0.1. In this paper we present high-resolution optical images (FWHM=0.4"-0.5") from 1993 of the quasar. From our narrow-band CCD frames centred on the redshifted Ly-alpha/Nv line at 5900 A we find that A:B=3.85+/-0.2. Our broad-band I images uncontaminated by line-emission are found to be affected by PSF variation over a range of 20\arcsec. However, by iteratively determining the PSF from the images themselves we show that the data can be accounted for by two point sources with A:B=3.35+/-0.2. These results imply that the continuum intensity ratio has decreased during 1992-1993 and that the amplification of the emission-line regions relative to the continuum emitting regions is different in the two components (under the gravitational lens hypothesis). The most conservative interpretation of these results is that 1208+1011 is a gravitationally lensed quasar in which component B is being microlensed, but the possibility that 1208+1011 is a binary quasar is not excluded by the present data.

Experiences and Perceptions of Family Violence in South Asian Communities in Australia
Creators: name: Chaudhry, Iswa
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: This study examines family violence (FV) within Australian South-Asian communities, focusing on experiences and perceptions. Through a qualitative phenomenological approach, interviews with 30 participants—victim-survivors, perpetrators, and third-party workers—uncover the role of patriarchal beliefs, migration stressors, and systemic barriers in shaping FV dynamics. Findings highlight culturally specific abuse forms, such as dowry and in-law abuse, alongside barriers to help-seeking, including stigma and systemic limitations. An integrative 'theory knitting' approach is recommended to synthesise these insights. The research supports culturally sensitive interventions, policy improvements, and clinical practices, aiming to empower South-Asian communities and foster systemic change in addressing FV.

description: The acoustic peaks in the angular power spectrum of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies play an important role as a probe of the nature of new relativistic particles contributing to the radiation density in the early universe, parametrized by $ΔN_{eff}$. The amplitude and phase of the acoustic oscillations provide information about whether the extra species are free-streaming particles, like neutrinos, or tightly-coupled, like the photons, during eras probed by the CMB. On the other hand, some extensions of the Standard Model produce new relativistic particles that decouple from their own non-gravitational interactions after neutrinos, but prior to photons. We study the signature of new relativistic species that decouple during this intermediate epoch. We argue that the decoupling species will cause a scale-dependent change in the amplitude and phase shift of the acoustic oscillations, different from the usual constant shifts on small scales. For intermediate decoupling times, the phase and amplitude shifts depend not only on $ΔN_{eff}$ but the redshift $z_{dec,X}$ at which the new species decoupled. For $ΔN_{eff} >0.334$, a Stage IV CMB experiment could determine $N_{eff}$ at the percent level and $z_{dec,X}$ at the $\sim 10\%$ level. For smaller values, $ΔN_{eff}\sim 0.1$, constraints on $z_{dec,X}$ weaken but remain $\sim 20-50\%$ for $z_{dec,X} \sim \mathcal{O}(10^3-10^4)$. As an application, we study the contributions to $ΔN_{eff}$ and determine the $z_{dec,X}$ values for simple implementations of the so-called $N$naturalness model.

Confined nanorods: jamming due to helical buckling

description: We investigate a longitudinally loaded elastic nanorod inside a cylindrical channel and show within the context of classical elasticity theory that the Euler buckling instability leads to a helical postbuckling form of the rod within the channel. The local pitch of the confined helix changes along the channel and so does the longitudinal force transmitted along the rod, diminishing away from the loaded end. This creates a possibility of jamming of the nanorod within the channel.

Abstract
Designing Service Entanglements
Creators: name: Eunki  Chung
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Design

description: Everyday, people chain interactions across multiple mobile services into single service experience. For example, when taking a trip, people switch between a number of mobile and online services as they move between here and there. Interestingly, current User Centered Design and Service Design methods generally ignore the use of other services outside of the single service being designed. Designers rarely consider entangling the service they are creating with the many other services users may wish to use. This thesis provides the current states and challenges of designing for entangled services. My investigation suggests an alternative approach; taking a stakeholder-centered perspective to capture values co-produced by services in designing entanglements.

description: In general, small islands lack predators because species at higher trophic levels often cannot survive. However, two predators—the Iriomote cat Prionailurus bengalensis iriomotensis, and the Crested Serpent Eagle Spilornis cheela perplexus—live on Iriomotejima Island in the Ryukyu Archipelago, which covers an area of approximately 284 square kilometers. To understand how these two top predators coexist on such a small island with limited resources, we focused on their seasonal feeding habits which are considered crucial for survival in such an island ecosystem. To compare the diets of the Iriomote cat and Crested Serpent Eagle, we used DNA metabarcoding analysis of their fecal samples. In the summer, we identified 16 prey items from Iriomote cat fecal samples, and 15 Crested Serpent Eagle fecal samples. In the winter, we identified 37 and 14 prey items, respectively. Using a non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and a permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA), our study reveals significant differences in the diet composition at the order level between the predators during both seasons. Furthermore, although some prey items at the species-to-order level overlapped between the two predators, the frequency of occurrence of most prey items differed between them in both seasons. These results suggest that this difference in diets was one of the reasons why the Iriomote cat and the Crested Serpent Eagle coexisted on such a small island.

The $B=5$ Skyrmion as a two-cluster system

description: The classical $B=5$ Skyrmion can be approximated by a two-cluster system where a $B=1$ Skyrmion is attached to a core $B=4$ Skyrmion. We quantise this system, allowing the $B=1$ to freely orbit the core. The configuration space is 11-dimensional but simplifies significantly after factoring out the overall spin and isospin degrees of freedom. We exactly solve the free quantum problem and then include an interaction potential between the Skyrmions numerically. The resulting energy spectrum is compared to the corresponding nuclei -- the Helium-5/Lithium-5 isodoublet. We find approximate parity doubling not seen in the experimental data. In addition, we fail to obtain the correct ground state spin. The framework laid out for this two-cluster system can readily be modified for other clusters and in particular for other $B=4n+1$ nuclei, of which the $B=5$ is the simplest example.

description: The amount of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation required to prevent the most dramatic climate change scenarios postulated in the 2014 IPCC Synthesis Report is substantial. Prior analyses have examined the potential for nuclear energy to play a role in decarbonizing the energy sector, one of the largest contributors to emissions worldwide. However, advanced, non-light water reactors, while often touted as a viable alternative for development, have languished. Large light water development projects have a repeated history of extended construction timelines, re-work delays, and significant capital risk. With few exceptions, large-scale nuclear projects have demonstrated neither affordability nor economic competitiveness, and are not well suited to nations with smaller energy grids, or to replace fossil generation in the industrial process heat sector. If nuclear power is to play a role in decarbonization, new policy and technical solutions will be needed. In this manuscript, we examine key aspects of past performance across the nuclear enterprise and explore the future potential of nuclear energy worldwide, focusing on policy and technical solutions that may be needed to move nuclear power forward as a part of a low-carbon energy future. We do so first at a high level, examining the history of nuclear power research and development in the United States, the nation that historically has led the way in the development of this generating technology. A significant portion of our analysis is focused on new developments in this technology – advanced non-light water reactors and small modular reactors. We find that while there are promising technical solutions available, improved funding and focus in research and new models of deployment may be needed if nuclear is to play a continuing or future role. We also find that in examining potential new markets for the technology, a continuing focus on institutional readiness is critical.

description: We study f(R,T) theories of gravity, where T is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor T_{μν}, with independent metric and affine connection (metric-affine theories). We find that the resulting field equations share a close resemblance with their metric-affine f(R) relatives once an effective energy-momentum tensor is introduced. As a result, the metric field equations are second-order and no new propagating degrees of freedom arise as compared to GR, which contrasts with the metric formulation of these theories, where a dynamical scalar degree of freedom is present. Analogously to its metric counterpart, the field equations impose the non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor, which implies non-geodesic motion and consequently leads to the appearance of an extra force. The weak field limit leads to a modified Poisson equation formally identical to that found in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity. Furthermore, the coupling of these gravity theories to perfect fluids, electromagnetic, and scalar fields, and their potential applications are discussed.
