description: As variable renewable energy sources increasingly gain importance in global energy systems, there is a growing interest in understanding periods of variable renewable energy shortage ("Dunkelflauten"). Defining, quantifying, and comparing such shortage events across different renewable generation technologies and locations presents a surprisingly intricate challenge. Various methodological approaches exist in different bodies of literature, which have been applied to single technologies in specific locations or technology portfolios across multiple regions. We provide an overview of various methods for quantifying variable renewable energy shortage, focusing either on supply from variable renewables or its mismatch with electricity demand. We explain and critically discuss the merits and challenges of different approaches for defining and identifying shortage events and propose further methodological improvements for more accurate shortage determination. Additionally, we elaborate on comparability requirements for multi-technological and multi-regional energy shortage analysis. In doing so, we aim to contribute to unifying disparate methodologies, harmonizing terminologies, and providing guidance for future research.

description: In this paper, we formulate the multi-agent graph bandit problem as a multi-agent extension of the graph bandit problem introduced by Zhang, Johansson, and Li [CISS 57, 1-6 (2023)]. In our formulation, $N$ cooperative agents travel on a connected graph $G$ with $K$ nodes. Upon arrival at each node, agents observe a random reward drawn from a node-dependent probability distribution. The reward of the system is modeled as a weighted sum of the rewards the agents observe, where the weights capture some transformation of the reward associated with multiple agents sampling the same node at the same time. We propose an Upper Confidence Bound (UCB)-based learning algorithm, Multi-G-UCB, and prove that its expected regret over $T$ steps is bounded by $O(γN\log(T)[\sqrt{KT} + DK])$, where $D$ is the diameter of graph $G$ and $γ$ a boundedness parameter associated with the weight functions. Lastly, we numerically test our algorithm by comparing it to alternative methods.

description: Ferrofluids containing magnetic nanoparticles represent a special class of magnetic materials due to the added freedom of particle tumbling in the fluids. We studied this process, known as Brownian relaxation, and its effect on the magnetic properties of ferrofluids with controlled magnetite nanoparticle sizes. For small nanoparticles (below 10 nm diameter) the Néel process is expected to dominate the magnetic response, whereas for larger particles, Brownian relaxation becomes important. Temperature- and magnetic field-dependent magnetization studies, differential scanning calorimetry, and AC susceptibility measurements were carried out for 6, 8, 10.6, and 13.5 nm diameter magnetite nanoparticles suspended in water. We identify clear fingerprints of the Brownian relaxation for the sample of the large diameter nanoparticles as both magnetic and thermal hysteresis develop at the water freezing temperature, whereas the samples of small diameter nanoparticles remain hysteresis-free down to the magnetic blocking temperature. This is supported by the temperature-dependent AC susceptibility measurements: above 273 K, the data show a low-frequency Debye peak, which is characteristic of the Brownian relaxation. This peak vanishes below 273 K.

description: Endometrial epithelium is the presumed tissue of origin for both eutopic and endometriosis-derived clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas. We had previously hypothesized that the morphological, biological and clinical differences between these cancers are due to subtype-restricted underlying mutations. Although some mutations and genomic landscape features are more likely to be found in one of these histotypes, we were not able to identify a single class of mutations that was exclusively present in one histotype and not the other. This lack of genomic differences led us to an alternative hypothesis that these cancers arise from distinct cells of origin within endometrial tissue, and it is the cellular context that accounts for their differences. In a proteomics screen, we have identified CTH as a marker for clear cell carcinoma differentiation, as it is expressed at high levels in clear cell carcinomas of the ovary and endometrium. We analyzed normal Müllerian tissues and found CTH was expressed in ciliated cells of endometrium (both eutopic endometrium and endometriosis) and fallopian tube. We have since determined that other ciliated cell markers are expressed in clear cell carcinomas whereas endometrial secretory cell markers are expressed in endometrioid carcinomas. To determine whether the ciliated endometrial cells are uterine derived we developed a 3D organoid culture system, which reliably produced both ciliated and secretory cells. Clear cell carcinoma is an IL-6 driven tumour and lineage experiments on bronchial epithelium have shown that IL-6 is an essential pathway in maintaining the population of ciliated cells. Taken together we hypothesize that endometrioid carcinomas are derived from cells of secretory cell lineage whereas clear cell carcinomas are derived from cells of endometrial origin that share features with a ciliated cell lineage.

title: Intuitive interaction: Steps towards an integral understanding of the user experience in interaction design
Creators: name: Kaltenbacher, Brigitte
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2008

description: A critical review of traditional practices and methodologies demonstrates an underplaying of firstly the role of emotions and secondly aspects of exploration in interaction behaviour in favour of a goal orientated focus in the user experience (UX). Consequently, the UX is a commodity that can be designed, measured, and predicted. An integral understanding of the UX attempts to overcome the rationalistic and instrumental mindset of traditional Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) on several levels. Firstly, the thesis seeks to complement a functional view of interaction with a qualitative one that considers the complexity of emotions. Emotions are at the heart of engagement and connect action irreversibly to the moment it occurs; they are intettwined with cognition, and decision making. Furthermore, they introduce the vague and ambiguous aspects of experience and open it up to potentiality of creation. Secondly, the thesis examines the relationship between purposive and non-purposive user behaviour such as exploration, play and discovery. The integral position proposed here stresses the procedurally relational nature and complexity of interaction experience. This requires revisiting and augmenting key themes of HCI practice such as interactivity and intuitive design. Intuition is investigated as an early and unconscious form of learning, and unstructured browsing discussed as random interaction mechanisms as forms of implicit learning. Interactivity here is the space for user's actions, contributions and creativity, not only in the design process but also during interaction as co-authors of their experiences. Finally, I envisage integral forms of usability methods to embrace the vague and the ambiguous, in order to enrich HCI's vocabulary and design potential. Key readings that inform this position cut across contemporary philosophy, media and interaction studies and professional HCI literature. On a practical level, a series of experimental interaction designs for webbrowsing aim to augment the user's experience, and create space for user's intuition.

description: Universal Composability (UC) is the gold standard for cryptographic security, but mechanizing proofs of UC is notoriously difficult. A recently-discovered connection between UC and Robust Compilation (RC)$\unicode{x2014}$a novel theory of secure compilation$\unicode{x2014}$provides a means to verify UC proofs using tools that mechanize equality results. Unfortunately, the existing methods apply only to perfect UC security, and real-world protocols relying on cryptography are only computationally secure.
 This paper addresses this gap by lifting the connection between UC and RC to the computational setting, extending techniques from the RC setting to apply to computational UC security. Moreover, it further generalizes the UC$\unicode{x2013}$RC connection beyond computational security to arbitrary equalities, providing a framework to subsume the existing perfect case, and to instantiate future theories with more complex notions of security. This connection allows the use of tools for proofs of computational indistinguishability to properly mechanize proofs of computational UC security. We demonstrate this power by using CryptoVerif to mechanize a proof that parts of the Wireguard protocol are computationally UC secure. Finally, all proofs of the framework itself are verified in Isabelle/HOL.

description: Background: Few studies have evaluated the effect of adherence to a lifestyle intervention on adolescent health outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine whether adolescent and parental adherence to components of an e-health intervention resulted in change in adolescent body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) z-scores in a sample of overweight/obese adolescents. Methods: In total, 159 overweight/obese adolescents and their parents participated in an 8-month e-health lifestyle intervention. Each week, adolescents and their parents were asked to login to their respective website and to monitor their dietary, physical activity, and sedentary behaviours. We examined participation (percentage of webpages viewed [adolescents]; number of weeks logged in [parents]) and self-monitoring (number of weeks behaviors were tracked) rates. Linear mixed models and multiple regressions were used to examine change in adolescent BMI and WC z-scores and predictors of adolescent participation and self-monitoring, respectively. Results: Adolescents and parents completed 28% and 23%, respectively, of the online component of the intervention. Higher adolescent participation rate was associated with a decrease in the slope of BMI z-score but not with change in WC z-score. No association was found between self-monitoring rate and change in adolescent BMI or WC z-scores. Parent participation was not found to moderate the relationship between adolescent participation and weight outcomes. Conclusions: Developing strategies for engaging and promoting supportive interactions between adolescents and parents are needed in the e-health context. Findings demonstrate that improving adolescents’ adherence to e-health lifestyle intervention can effectively alter the weight trajectory of overweight/obese adolescents.
Interpreting symplectic linear transformations in a two-qubit phase space

description: For the continuous Wigner function and for certain discrete Wigner functions, permuting the values of the Wigner function in accordance with a symplectic linear transformation is equivalent to performing a certain unitary transformation on the state. That is, performing this unitary transformation is simply a matter of moving Wigner-function values around in phase space. This result holds in particular for the simplest discrete Wigner function defined on a $d \times d$ phase space when the Hilbert-space dimension $d$ is odd. It does not hold for a $d \times d$ phase space if the dimension is even. Here we show, though, that a generalized version of this correspondence does apply in the case of a two-qubit phase space. In this case, a symplectic linear permutation of the points of the phase space, together with a certain reinterpretation of the Wigner function, is equivalent to a unitary transformation.

description: Non-thermal advanced fuel fusion trades the requirement of a large amount of recirculating tritium in the system for that of large recirculating power. Phase space engineering technologies utilizing externally injected electromagnetic fields can be applied to meet the challenge of maintaining non-thermal particle distributions at a reasonable cost. The physical processes of the phase space engineering are studied from a theoretical and algorithmic perspective. It is emphasized that the operational space of phase space engineering is limited by the underpinning symplectic dynamics of charged particles. The phase space incompressibility according to the Liouville theorem is just one of many constraints, and Gromov's non-squeezing theorem determines the minimum footprints of the charged particles on every conjugate phase space plane. In this sense and level of sophistication, the mathematical abstraction of phase space engineering is symplectic topology. To simulate the processes of phase space engineering, such as the Maxwell demon and electromagnetic energy extraction, and to accurately calculate the minimum footprints of charged particles, recently developed structure-preserving geometric algorithms can be used. The family of algorithms conserves exactly, on discretized spacetime, symplecticity and thus incompressibility, non-squeezability, and symplectic capacities. The algorithms apply to the dynamics of charged particles under the influence of external electromagnetic fields as well as the charged particle-electromagnetic field system governed by the Vlasov-Maxwell equations.

description: Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently the third leading cause of death and there is a huge unmet clinical need to identify disease biomarkers in peripheral blood. Compared to gene level differential expression approaches to identify gene signatures, network analyses provide a biologically intuitive approach which leverages the co-expression patterns in the transcriptome to identify modules of co-expressed genes. Methods: A weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was applied to peripheral blood transcriptome from 238 COPD subjects to discover co-expressed gene modules. We then determined the relationship between these modules and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1). In a second, independent cohort of 381 subjects, we determined the preservation of these modules and their relationship with FEV1. For those modules that were significantly related to FEV1, we determined the biological processes as well as the blood cell-specific gene expression that were over-represented using additional external datasets. Results: Using WGCNA, we identified 17 modules of co-expressed genes in the discovery cohort. Three of these modules were significantly correlated with FEV1 (FDR < 0.1). In the replication cohort, these modules were highly preserved and their FEV1 associations were reproducible (P < 0.05). Two of the three modules were negatively related to FEV1 and were enriched in IL8 and IL10 pathways and correlated with neutrophil-specific gene expression. The positively related module, on the other hand, was enriched in DNA transcription and translation and was strongly correlated to CD4+, CD8+ T cell-specific gene expression. Conclusions: Network based approaches are promising tools to identify potential biomarkers for COPD.

description: Objective: To characterize self-poisoning suicide deaths in BD compared to other suicide decedents. Methods: Extracted coroner data from all suicide deaths (n = 3319) in Toronto, Canada from 1998 to 2012. Analyses of demographics, clinical history, recent stressors, and suicide details were conducted in 5 subgroups of suicide decedents: BD self-poisoning, BD other methods, non-BD self-poisoning, non-BD other methods, and unipolar depression self-poisoning. Toxicology results for lethal and present substances were also compared between BD and non-BD self-poisoning subgroups as well as between BD and unipolar depression self-poisoning subgroups. Results: Among BD suicide decedents, self-poisoning was significantly associated with female sex, past suicide attempts, and comorbid substance abuse. In both the BD and non-BD self-poisoning groups, opioids were the most common class of lethal medication. For both groups, benzodiazepines and antidepressants were the most common medications present at time of death, and in 23% of the BD group, an antidepressant was present without a mood stabilizer or antipsychotic. Only 31% of the BD group had any mood stabilizer present, with carbamazepine being most common. No antidepressant, mood stabilizer, or antipsychotic was present in 15.5% of the BD group. Relative to unipolar depression self-poisoning group, the BD self-poisoning group evidenced higher proportion of previous suicide attempt(s) and psychiatry/ER visits in the previous week. Conclusion: People with BD who die by suicide via self-poisoning comprise a distinct but understudied group. The predominant absence of guideline-concordant pharmacologic care comprises a crucial target for future policy and knowledge translation efforts.

A mechanism to support SMEs in the COVID 19 crisis
Creators: name: Hoelzl, Werner

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: SME, support, COVID-19, insolvency

description: We propose a mechanism - "profit-contingent repayable grants" - to support SMEs in the COVID 19 crisis. We argue that the mechanism can be implemented quickly, in a targeted way and with low administrative costs. The mechanism is characterised by a) profit-contingent repayment, b) limited repayment period (forgiveness), c) interest at market rates and d) administration by the tax authorities. Such a mechanism can provide an equity-like support for many SMEs that is both efficient and fiscally prudent. We discuss potential problems.

Navigating Prototyping Excellence: A Comprehensive Framework Integrating Technological Feasibility, Market Research, Resource Allocation, and Iterative Design Processes (preprint)
Creators: name: Leocadio, Paulo
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 401001
subject: Engineering design

description: This essay endeavors to probe the intricate considerations that precede the allocation of time and resources to prototype development within the domain of technology engineering. Rooted in a rigorous examination of scholarly literature, the abstract not only outlines the key factors influencing the pre-prototype phase but also articulates the underlying line of thinking that guides the content. The narrative navigates the intersectionality of innovation and pragmatism, emphasizing the need for a systematic and scientific approach in crafting successful prototypes.At its core, the essay works under the premise that effective prototyping demands a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted landscape within which technological innovations unfold. Drawing from a wealth of scholarly insights, the abstract sets the stage for an exploration that transcends the conventional boundaries of engineering discourse. The line of thinking underlying this examination revolves around the fusion of theoretical ideation with practical execution, contending that the success of a prototype hinges on the intricate orchestration of various elements.The document lays bare the foundational belief that technological feasibility is the linchpin of prototype development. It posits that an in-depth comprehension of current technological paradigms, coupled with a foresight into potential advancements, forms the bedrock which we find successful prototypes built upon. Moreover, the line of thinking accentuates the interdependence of technological feasibility with market dynamics, contending that an innovation, no matter how groundbreaking, must align with market demands to achieve meaningful impact.Within this intellectual framework, resource allocation appears as a strategic consideration rather than a mere logistical task. The essay argues that the judicious distribution of financial, human, and material resources is integral to the efficiency and sustainability of prototype development. The narrative underscores the dynamic nature of resource allocation, advocating for an adaptive approach that mirrors the iterative design processes championed by leading scholars in the field.Finally, this essay not only delineates the considerations central to the pre-prototype phase but also illuminates the underlying philosophy that propels this exploration. As technology engineering continues its relentless march towards unprecedented advancements, this study asserts that a scientific and systematic approach to prototype development serves as a compass, guiding engineers through the complexities of innovation. It is within this nexus of theoretical depth and pragmatic application that the true potential of prototypes unfolds, laying the groundwork for transformative technological breakthroughs.

description: In long-term time series forecasting (LTSF) tasks, an increasing number of models have acknowledged that discrete time series originate from continuous dynamic systems and have attempted to model their dynamical structures. Recognizing the chaotic nature of real-world data, our model, \textbf{\textit{Attraos}}, incorporates chaos theory into LTSF, perceiving real-world time series as observations from unknown high-dimensional chaotic dynamic systems. Under the concept of attractor invariance, Attraos utilizes non-parametric Phase Space Reconstruction embedding and the proposed multi-scale dynamic memory unit to memorize historical dynamics structure and predicts by a frequency-enhanced local evolution strategy. Detailed theoretical analysis and abundant empirical evidence consistently show that Attraos outperforms various LTSF methods on mainstream LTSF datasets and chaotic datasets with only one-twelfth of the parameters compared to PatchTST.

description: Für Präsident Suharto und seine Ministerkollegen in Jakarta ist alles nach Wunsch verlaufen - und sogar noch besser. Die Vorbereitungen zum großen Wahlspektakel - von der Regierung seit neun Monaten als "Fest der Demokratie" angekündigt - verliefen ruhig, die Regierungspartei GOLKAR konnte eine unerwartet hohe Mehrheit von 73% nach Hause tragen, die islamische Oppositionspartei PPP erlitt die erwünschten Verluste, und die PDI konnte zulegen, was sich vor allem christliche Regierungskreise um Armeechef Murdani erhofft hatten.

kommunistische Schreckgespenst in Singapur

description: Man muß sich wirklich fragen, ob das kommunistische Schreckgespenst immer noch benötigt wird? Das Bild, das wir von Singapur haben, zeigt, daß der Kommunismus immer weniger wegdiskutiert wird, ein deutliches Zeichen, daß er keinerlei Bedrohung mehr darstellte. Wenn er keine Bedrohung mehr ist, liefert er jedoch der PAP -Regierung keinen Vorwand mehr, politische Gefangene festzuhalten. Aber andere Vorwände, die immer wieder benutzt wurden, nannten sich "antinationale" und "subversive" Elemente, aber auch die scheinen nicht mehr in Gebrauch zu sein. Der neue Weg, politische Gegner zu verfolgen, ist sie zu verleumden, sie mit finanziellen Unregelmäßigkeiten insbesondere bei der Leitung politischer Parteien zu belasten, ihnen parlamentarische Privilegien abzuerkennen. Was mit J.B. Jeyaratnam und der Arbeiter-Partei geschehen ist, ist nur ein Beispiel. Das wäre im Moment auch aus der Mode und es sollten sich andere Vorwände finden lassen, oder in Anbetracht der schlechten Wirtschaftslage wäre doch eine Rückkehr zum Vorwand des Kommunismus zu erwägen. Aber stellt denn der Kommunismus noch eine Bedrohung dar? (...)

description: Although the security testing of Web systems can be automated by generating crafted inputs, solutions to automate the test oracle, i.e., vulnerability detection, remain difficult to apply in practice. Specifically, though previous work has demonstrated the potential of metamorphic testing, security failures can be determined by metamorphic relations that turn valid inputs into malicious inputs, metamorphic relations are typically executed on a large set of inputs, which is time-consuming and thus makes metamorphic testing impractical. We propose AIM, an approach that automatically selects inputs to reduce testing costs while preserving vulnerability detection capabilities. AIM includes a clustering-based black-box approach, to identify similar inputs based on their security properties. It also relies on a novel genetic algorithm to efficiently select diverse inputs while minimizing their total cost. Further, it contains a problem-reduction component to reduce the search space and speed up the minimization process. We evaluated the effectiveness of AIM on two well-known Web systems, Jenkins and Joomla, with documented vulnerabilities. We compared AIM's results with four baselines involving standard search approaches. Overall, AIM reduced metamorphic testing time by 84% for Jenkins and 82% for Joomla, while preserving the same level of vulnerability detection. Furthermore, AIM significantly outperformed all the considered baselines regarding vulnerability coverage.

description: We document the ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Kitaev chain with quasi-periodic disorder in the presence of two-body interactions. Our data was obtained for systems of $L=1000$ sites using large-scale density matrix renormalization group numerics and is benchmarked against known results for the clean system. We demonstrate that moderate quasi-periodic disorder stabilizes the topological phase both for repulsive and attractive interactions. For larger disorder strengths, the system features re-entrance behavior and multiple phase transitions.
