description: In-situ tests were undertaken with a BAT permeameter as part of a hydrogeological study to determine the horizontal hydraulic conductivity of Singapore marine clay at Changi. BAT permeameter tests were undertaken in marine conditions prior to land reclamation at a Test Site. An additional series of tests were undertaken after land reclamation and subsequent ground improvement works with prefabricated vertical drains after 23 months of surcharge loading. The BAT permeameter results were compared to laboratory test results carried out using a Rowe consolidation cell as well as hydraulic conductivity tests interpreted from other in-situ dissipation tests including Piezocone Penetration Test (CPTU), Dilatometer Test (DMT) and Self Boring Pressuremeter Test (SBPMT). The BAT permeameter was found to be suitable for horizontal hydraulic conductivity measurements. The BAT permeameter has the advantage that it measures horizontal hydraulic conductivity directly whereas other in-situ test methods require the introduction of additional parameters to evaluate the hydraulic conductivity indirectly. The horizontal hydraulic conductivity measured using the BAT permeameter was however lower than that expected which is attributed to smear effect. The horizontal hydraulic conductivity was found to decrease in the vertical drain treated area as compared to the prior to reclamation results which is attributed to the significant void ratio reduction at the vertical drain treated area.

description: Results of an extensive series of repeated load triaxial tests performed on three major recycled construction and demolition (C&D) materials at various moisture contents and stress levels were analysed to ascertain their performance in pavement subbases. The development of the resulting permanent deformation that accumulates with the repeated loading and the determination of resilient modulus by two phases of the test are described. The experimental study shows that the C&D materials perform satisfactorily at a moisture content of about 70% of their optimum moisture contents. Furthermore, the C&D materials also satisfy the two parameter and three parameter models. The results of this study indicate that, at a density ratio of 98% compared to maximum dry density obtained in the modified proctor test and with moisture contents in the range of 65%-90% of the optimum moisture content, most of the recycled C&D materials produce comparatively smaller permanent strain and greater resilient modulus than natural commonly used granular subbase materials in pavement subbase applications.
DIGITAL TWIN BASED SELF-LEARNING FRAMEWORK FOR MACHINING AND MACHINE TOOLS

Subjects: Manufacturing processes and technologies (excl. textiles)

description: Smart manufacturing is a broad concept of manufacturing technology that employs the computer aided systems, digital information technology, artificially intelligent algorithms, etc., to realize high-level automation of the production. The rise of the smart manufacturing concept, which has also been treated as the fourth industrial revolution, has been increasingly advocated by the policy makers and investigated by the worldwide researchers. Though machining is one of the key processes in the manufacturing industry, there are only a few researches focusing on automatically scheduling and improving the machining process. The design of the machining parameters and tool path planning still requires engineers with significant knowledge and experience in manufacturing fields to juggle between product quality, machine tool maintenance, and production cost. This design process also requires high level of human intelligence to consider the type of material, machine tool setups, workpiece geometry, and cutting tool property to provide an optimal manufacturing process. The overall machining related processes cannot satisfy the requirement of the ultimate goal of the smart manufacturing – to fully automate the machining process without human’s involvements.
 In order to solve this problem, we aim to employ advanced machine learning technologies to enable the machine tool to automatically build up the cutting physics and generate the optimized toolpath. The final optimized result can be conducted automatically and shows a near human level optimization design ability. The generated toolpath beats the result from other commercial software. The overall framework can be fully automated when the machine learning technology is mature.

Notes. There has been some confusion over the name of this bee. Halictus nymphaearum was proposed as a replacement for the preoccupied Halictus palustris Robertson (1890) (not Halictus palustris Morawitz 1876), and subsequently the species has most often been referred to as Dialictus nymphaearum (Robertson 1895) or as L. (D.) nymphaearum (Robertson 1895). Gibbs (2010b) resurrected the name L. oceanicum (Cockerell 1916) from synonymy as the valid name for this species after discovering that the apparent lectotype of H. palustris Robertson, labeled as such and deposited at ANSP, pertained to another well-known species L. albipenne (Robertson 1890) rather than to Dialictus nymphaearum sensu auct. (e.g., Mitchell, 1960). Gibbs (2011) reversed this decision based on an inability to find a valid lectotype designation, but this was in fact validly published by Cresson (1928) showing the decision by Gibbs (2010) to have been correct (contra Gibbs 2011). Thus, Lasioglossum oceanicum is the correct name for this species, i.e. the names Halictus palustris Robertson and H. nymphaearum return to synonymy under L. albipenne.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox and quantum steering in pulsed optomechanics

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We describe how to generate an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox between a mesoscopic mechanical oscillator and an optical pulse. We find two types of paradox, defined by whether it is the oscillator or the pulse that shows the effect Schroedinger called 'steering'. Only the oscillator paradox addresses the question of mesoscopic local reality for a massive system. In that case, EPR's 'elements of reality' are defined for the oscillator, and it is these elements of reality that are falsified (if quantum mechanics is complete). For this sort of paradox, we show that a thermal barrier exists, meaning that a threshold level of pulse-oscillator interaction is required for a given thermal occupation n0 of the oscillator. We find there is no equivalent thermal barrier for the entanglement of the pulse with the oscillator or for the EPR paradox that addresses the local reality of the optical system. Finally, we examine the possibility of an EPR paradox between two entangled oscillators. Our work highlights the asymmetrical effect of thermal noise on quantum nonlocality.

description: Genus TARTESSUS Stal Tartessus Stal, Soc. ent. France, Ann. 5(4): 156, 1865. Logotype, Bytho­ scopus malayus Stal. Head broad, broader than pronotum; vertex short, very broad; eyes large; postclypeus large; anteclypeus small; labium short, broad. Pronotum large, projecting anteriorly well in front on the eyes; posterior margin broadly sinuate; posterior lateral margins very short. Mesonotum large, nearly as long as the pronotum. Tegmina with two basal, three anteapical, and five apical cells; three cross veins between media and c1.;bitus This is a large genus of some 36 known species. The species range from India through the Malay Peninsula eastward, through the East Indian islands to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and New Caledonia south to Australia; northward, the species range through Indo-China, Formosa, the Ryukyu Islands to Japan. The new species described below are the first species to be recorded from Micronesia, as far as I can discover. Distant selected Tartessus ferrugineus as the type of this genus apparently on the basis that Stal synonymized his Bythoscopus malayus with ferrugineus. However, later authors have not made these two synonymous, and, if the details illustrated by Signoret are correct, the genitalia are sufficiently distinct to keep the two species separated. I have, therefore, designated Bythoscopus malayus as the type of this genus until the matter can be studied further.

description: Descriptive norms-what people typically do in a certain setting-play a significant role in people's behavioural decisions. However, little is known about how people acquire descriptive norms in their community. We postulate that acquisition of descriptive norms can be construed as social category learning in social networks, where people learn social information relevant about community descriptive norms from others with whom they are associated through social network ties. We distinguish two routes to norm acquisition: experiential and conceptual. The experiential route suggests people observe the behaviours of their associates in their social networks, and infer what people typically do; the conceptual route suggests people learn about their community from what their associates say people typically do. We used a novel statistical method of autologistic actor attribute models (ALAAM) on survey responses collected by snow ball sampling in a rural city in Australia, and found that people experientially learn descriptive norms about community engagement. Implications of this finding and the limitations of the current study are discussed.

description: In the context of a general regression model in which some regression coefficients are of interest and others are purely nuisance parameters, we define the density function of a maximal invariant statistic with the aim of testing for the inclusion of regressors (either linear or non-linear) in linear or semi-linear models. This allows the construction of the locally best invariant test, which in two important cases is equivalent to the one-sided t test for a regression coefficient in an artificial linear regression model.We consider a specific semi-linear model to apply the constructed test.

description: We report a bimodality in the azimuthal angle (Φ) distribution of gas around galaxies traced by O vi absorption. We present the mean Φ probability distribution function of 29 Hubble Space Telescope-imaged O vi absorbing (EW > 0.1) and 24 non-absorbing (EW < 0.1) isolated galaxies (0.08 0.67) within ∼200 kpc of background quasars. We show that equivalent width (EW) is anti-correlated with impact parameter and O vi covering fraction decreases from 80% within 50 kpc to 33% at 200 kpc. The presence of O vi absorption is azimuthally dependent and occurs between ± 10°-20° of the galaxy projected major axis and within ± 30° of the projected minor axis. We find higher EWs along the projected minor axis with weaker EWs along the project major axis. Highly inclined galaxies have the lowest covering fractions due to minimized outflow/inflow cross-section geometry. Absorbing galaxies also have bluer colors while non-absorbers have redder colors, suggesting that star formation is a key driver in the O vi detection rate. O vi surrounding blue galaxies exists primarily along the projected minor axis with wide opening angles while O vi surrounding red galaxies exists primarily along the projected major axis with smaller opening angles, which may explain why absorption around red galaxies is less frequently detected. Our results are consistent with a circumgalactic medium (CGM) originating from major axis-fed inflows/recycled gas and from minor axis-driven outflows. Non-detected O vi occurs between Φ = 20°-60°, suggesting that O vi is not mixed throughout the CGM and remains confined within the outflows and the disk-plane. We find low O vi covering fractions within of the projected major axis, suggesting that cool dense gas resides in a narrow planer geometry surrounded by diffuse O vi gas.

description: Organizations contain multiple social foci - settings for interaction providing organizational members with occasions for structuring their social relations. In this paper we examine how identification with particular social foci within organizations influences the propensity of adviceseeking ties to cross-cut the boundaries of organizational sub-units. We propose and test a theory of relationship formation based on the strength of identification of organizational members with social foci. We expect that advice relations of organizational members identifying more strongly with local foci (organizational sub-units) will be more likely to be contained within their boundaries. By contrast, we expect that advice relations of organizational members identifying more strongly with a global focus (the organization as a whole) will be more likely to cross-cut the boundaries defined around local foci. We test these hypotheses on data that we have collected on advice-seeking relations among members of the top management team in an industrial multi-unit group which comprises five distinct subsidiary companies. Results show that identification with social foci affects the formation of cross-cutting network ties over and above the effect of the formal organizational boundaries that encircle the foci. More specifically, we find that organizational members who identify strongly with local foci (subsidiaries, in our case) tend to seek advice within such local foci, while organizational members who identify strongly with a global focus (corporate, in our case) tend to be sources of advice across the boundaries of the local foci in which they participate. Crossboundary advice ties are less likely to occur among managers who identify strongly with their subsidiaries, but only weakly with the corporate group. As a consequence, identification with local foci constrains knowledge transfer relations within the boundaries of such foci. On the contrary, cross-boundary advice ties are more likely to occur among managers who identify strongly with the corporate group, but only weakly with their subsidiary. As a consequence, identification with a global focus activates knowledge transfer across the boundaries of local foci.

description: This paper have the purpose to investigate on the question: is possible to reproduce with a model and in a laboratory of practice management the evolution of business ties maintained by enterprises with their Customers and Suppliers.
The research is based on the Hans Bolza’s concept of renewal and on the results obtained in the laboratory of practice management from 2001 by the Forli’s Faculty of Economics of the Bologna University by the team of one of the Authors 3 . The main of researchers was to individuate and validate a model useful to reproduce the behaviour of the business links managed by enterprise with customers and suppliers. The renewal of these links was considered representative of their longevity and of the dynamic of the derived networks. The empirical side of the research was represented by surveys on Emilia Romagna SMEs and the experimental one by the results of the simulation in laboratory.
Although the numerosity of contributions by scholars on the topic, the literature on the renewal of links based on this methodology is scarce and this paper would contribute to extend the knowledge about this topic to open a new field of researches.

description: Entrepreneurial Capital, Human Capital and Financial Capital: they are three
definitions widely recurring in corporate culture. However, they are often considered as independent elements and - for this reason independently analyzed - without considering that firm’s reasoning is expression of a changing process over the time but, overall, deeply characterized by interconnected factors.
Analyzing how an entrepreneur or a company makes specific market choices means identifying the aims, joining them to the technical skills of the company in order to realize a product or a service and, last but not least, quantifying the financial instruments to support the company project. That’s why Entrepreneurial Capital, Human Capital and Financial Capital express three voices of a sole paradigm. They are expression of the company’s progress and for this reason they should be duly related to new challenges of a market always more interconnected and global.

description: La letteratura aziendale, nel corso degli ultimi decenni, ha attribuito sempre più rilevanza al tema della gestione della conoscenza e del capitale intellettuale in generale. La causa di ciò è da imputare ai cambiamenti che soprattutto la globalizzazione e l’evoluzione della tecnologia hanno apportato negli ambienti competitivi delle imprese.  Si verifica una maggiore complessità dovuta  a consumatori sempre più informati ed esigenti. In questo scenario, anche le PMI (piccole e medie imprese) e soprattutto le aziende familiari hanno dovuto imparare a confrontarsi con un contesto sempre più dinamico e imprevedibile ed i loro risultati non dipendono più solo da fattori tradizionali rappresentato da risorse fisiche, ma da intangible, quali, ad esempio, la capacità di fare innovazione, la forza attrattiva del brand (e la congiunta reputazione), il valore delle tradizioni e la salvaguardia del territorio e dell'ambiente circostante. In questo articolo, si focalizza l'attenzione su due settori che realizzano prodotti del Made in Italy che meglio rappresentano il patrimonio culturale del paese: il settore vitivinicolo e quello della pasta. Emerge un chiaro quadro teso sia alla creazione che al miglioramento degli intangibili secondo differenti modalità.

description: We present measurements of the local (homogeneous) density-density response function of a Fermi gas at unitarity using spatially resolved Bragg spectroscopy. By analyzing the Bragg response across one axis of the cloud, we extract the response function for a uniform gas which shows a clear signature of the Bose-Einstein condensation of pairs of fermions when the local temperature drops below the superfluid transition temperature. The method we use for local measurement generalizes a scheme for obtaining the local pressure in a harmonically trapped cloud from the line density and can be adapted to provide any homogeneous parameter satisfying the local density approximation.

description: An evaluation of the absolute frequency and tunability of collimated blue light (CBL) generated in warm Rb vapour excited by low-power cw laser radiation at 780 nm and 776 nm has been performed using a Fabry–Perot interferometer and a blue diode laser. For the conditions of our experiments, the CBL tuning range is more than 250 MHz around the resonant frequency of the 85Rb 5S1/2 (F = 3)→6P3/2 (F' = 4) transition. A simple technique for stabilizing the power and frequency of the CBL to within a few per cent and 10 MHz, respectively, is suggested and demonstrated.
Exploiting per user information for supercomputing workload prediction requires care

description: Efficient management of supercomputing facilities requires estimates of future workload based on past user behaviour. For supercomputers with large numbers of users, aggregate user behaviour is commonly assumed to be best in prediction of future workloads, however for systems with smaller numbers of users the question arises as to whether it is still suitable or if benefits can be derived from monitoring individual user behaviour to predict future workload. We compare using individual user behaviour, aggregate user behaviour and a hybrid approach where we track heavy users individually and cluster aggregate light users into a small number of clusters. We find that the hybrid approach produces the best results in both mean absolute error and mean squared error. However, treating all users separately provides slightly worse predictions. We also introduce a new approach to prediction based on the hazard function which is a significant improvement on previously used schemes based on autoregressive models. The schemes are investigated numerically using a two-year workload trace from a supercomputer with a population of 136 users.

description: This thesis investigates the composition of legitimacy and authority in Afghanistan, confronting common assumptions of how to ‘build legitimacy’ in conflict zones by delivering services, holding elections or adopting traditional institutions. After adjusting the static understanding of legitimacy, which evolved in the context of western nation states in the early 20th century, to the dynamics of today’s conflict zones, the thesis examines how people in Afghanistan perceive different authorities. The analysis rests on more than 250 interviews with ordinary people as well as various authorities in Afghanistan, including insurgents, warlords and government officials. The interviews were conducted in the course of extensive field research in the country. The thesis suggests that in Afghanistan’s volatile political order, people are suspicious of all authorities and the claims they make. Instead, people judge authorities on the basis of personal experiences when interacting with them, waiting for dignity and hoping for interactions which show that authorities want to serve the public instead of exploiting it. The extent to which people perceive interactions to be fair, inclusive and respectful is vital for the construction of lasting legitimacy and matters more than how an authority gained power, the ideology it advocates, or the scale of service delivery.

description: We analyse environmental correlations using mark clustering statistics with the mock galaxy catalogue constructed by Muldrew et al. (Paper I). We find that mark correlation functions are able to detect even a small dependence of galaxy properties on the environment, quantified by the overdensity 1 + δ, while such a small dependence would be difficult to detect by traditional methods. We then show that rank ordering the marks and using the rank as a weight is a simple way of comparing the correlation signals for different marks. With this we quantify to what extent fixed-aperture overdensities are sensitive to large-scale halo environments, nearest-neighbour overdensities are sensitive to small-scale environments within haloes and colour is a better tracer of overdensity than luminosity.

Deep convection and associated deep water formation are key processes for climate variability, since they impact the oceanic uptake of heat and trace gases and alter the structure and strength of the global overturning circulation. For long, deep convection in the subpolar North Atlantic was thought to be confined to the central Labrador Sea in the western subpolar gyre (SPG). However, there is increasing observational evidence that deep convection also has occurred in the eastern SPG south of Cape Farewell and in the Irminger Sea, in particular, in 2015–2018. Here we assess this recent event in the context of the temporal evolution of spatial deep convection patterns in the SPG since the midtwentieth century, using realistic eddy-rich ocean model simulations. These reveal a large interannual variability with changing contributions of the eastern SPG to the total deep convection volume. Notably, in the late 1980s to early 1990s, the period with highest deep convection intensity in the Labrador Sea related to a persistent positive phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation, the relative contribution of the

eastern SPG was small. In contrast, in 2015–2018, deep convection occurred with an unprecedented large relative contribution of the eastern SPG. This is partly linked to a smaller north-westward extent of deep convection in the Labrador Sea compared to previous periods of intensified deep convection, and may be a first fingerprint of freshening trends in the Labrador Sea potentially associated with enhanced Greenland melting and the oceanic advection of the 2012–2016 eastern North Atlantic fresh anomaly.

description: We report the serendipitous detection of a 0.2 L*, Lyα emitting galaxy at redshift 2.5 at an impact parameter of 50 kpc from a bright background QSO sightline. A high-resolution spectrum of the QSO reveals a partial Lyman-limit absorption system (NHi=10 to the power of 16.94±0.10cm −2) with many associated metal absorption lines at the same redshift as the foreground galaxy. Using photoionization models that carefully treat measurement errors and marginalize over uncertainties in the shape and normalization of the ionizing radiation spectrum, we derive the total hydrogen column density NH=10 to the power 19.4±0.3cm −2), and show that all the absorbing clouds are metal enriched, with Z = 0.1–0.6 Z⊙. These metallicities and the system's large velocity width (436 km s− 1) suggest the gas is produced by an outflowing wind. Using an expanding shell model we estimate a mass outflow rate of ∼5 M⊙ yr−1. Our photoionization model yields extremely small sizes (<100–500 pc) for the absorbing clouds, which we argue is typical of high column density absorbers in the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Given these small sizes and extreme kinematics, it is unclear how the clumps survive in the CGM without being destroyed by hydrodynamic instabilities. The small cloud sizes imply that even state-of-the-art cosmological simulations require more than a 1000-fold improvement in mass resolution to resolve the hydrodynamics relevant for cool gas in the CGM.
Dense water formation on the Icelandic shelf and its contribution to the North Icelandic Jet

The North Icelandic Jet (NIJ) is the densest component of the Denmark Strait Overflow Water, feeding the abyssal limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Here, by using observational and numerical model data, we explore the formation of overflow water on the Icelandic shelf, the mechanisms involved, and its potential contribution to the NIJ. The sparse observational data on the western Icelandic shelf for the month of February shows top-to-bottom mixing on the shelf, distinct

and well separated from the dense water offshore, with densities larger than 27.8 kg/m3  in some years. Using a 1-D mixing model and winter heat flux reanalysis, we suggest that waters with densities exceeding 27.8 kg/m3  are likely to be formed on the shelf in most years by the end of winter. High-resolution numerical model data shows that the transformation of the Atlantic inflow along the northwest Icelandic shelf generates a dense plume whose waters feed into the NIJ. The bulk of the plume cascades downslope north of Iceland, funneled through deep cross-shelf troughs, with some cascading occurring west of Iceland as well. During years of strong cascading events (2008, 2013, and 2016), the modeled dense plume potentially feeds up to 21% of the NIJ transport at the Siglunes and Kögur sections. Back-tracked Lagrangian particle trajectories confirm that the western Icelandic shelf is a source of the NIJ. The dense plume transport and variability are found to be dependent on the total oceanic heat loss west of Iceland and along Denmark Strait.
