description: Polymorphism is the ability of a given organic compound to crystallise in different crystal structures. These crystal structures, i.e. polymorphs, provide numerous opportunities for industrial applications due to their distinct chemical/physical properties and simultaneously pose plenty of challenges in controlling them in the real world. This thesis develops a robust and low-cost quantum chemical method to predict the lattice energies of polymorphic molecular crystals and thus understand the driving forces in their stabilities and existences.

Low Latency Audio Source Separation for Speech Enhancement in Cochlear Implants
Creators: name: HIdalgo, Jordi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2012

description: This master thesis is a combination of two areas of Sound and Music Computing, Blind Source Separation and Cochlear Implants. The research focuses in the evaluation of existing source separation algorithms in order to improve noise reduction strategies in the context of cochlear implants. The modification and adaptation of a low latency algorithm is the point of start for the evaluation based in the requirements of speech signals in cochlear implants. The evaluation consists in a different set of objective and subjective experiments to determine the speech intelligibility enhancement produced by the separation process. Objective evaluation has revealed that a very good performance level is achieved with low latency algorithms compared to NMF which take considerably higher computation time. A series of subjective tests have been conducted with cochlear implant patients in order to compare the objective results and determine the real speech intelligibility level. The low latency algorithm showed only improvements in few situations where the noise reduction algorithm outperforms in most of the cases. Accurate analysis determined that the main reason of the speech degradation caused by low latency algorithm is because of the algorithm is not designed to detect unvoiced consonants and a lot of speech content is missing. But last experiments revealed that is possible to recover this consonants which can considerably improve the performance and later speech intelligibility of LLIS.

description: Rapid population growth and rising food demand present severe challenges to agroecosystems. One significant constraint to crop productivity worldwide is soil salinity. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an essential crop worldwide feeding half of the world population, but it is highly susceptible to abiotic stress conditions, including soil salinity. Seedborne PGPB (plant growth promoting bacteria) have been gaining attention since it constitutes a primary inoculum for the plant. Identifying salt-tolerant PGPB (ST-PGPB) can lead to novel mechanisms for coping with salt stress and providing sustainable solutions for agriculture. Inoculation of salt-sensitive rice plants with P. pabuli, B. subtilis, B. altitudinis show promising improvement in salt-tolerance. The genes OsHKT2;1 and OsCATA, seem to have the potential to be influenced by PGPB.

Modeling Embellishment, Duration and Energy Expressive Transformations in Jazz Guitar

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2012

description: Professional musicians manipulate sound properties such as timing, energy, pitch and timbre in order to add expression to their performances. However, there is little quantitative information about how and in which context this manipulation occurs. This is particularly true in Jazz music where learning to play expressively is mostly acquired intuitively. We propose to develop a machine learning approach to investigate expressive music performance in Jazz guitar music. We extract symbolic features from audio performances and apply machine learning techniques to induce expressive computational models for embellishment, timing, and energy transformations. Finally, we apply concatenative synthesis techniques in order to generate expressive performances of new scores using the learnt computational models.

description: This global stock-taking of deposit insurance coverage ratios may offer a good first proxy for estimating the relevance of uninsured deposits. However, it is important to realise that the IADI Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems (Core Principles) as global standards for deposit insurance focus on aggregated coverage ratios. Despite overall compliance with these standards by a jurisdiction, the share of deposits not covered by deposit insurance at a number of individual banks within this jurisdiction may be very high, which may give rise to increased bank-run risks. Deposit insurance standards currently do not explicitly account for this risk, which is implicitly assumed to be dealt with by prudential regulation and/or supervision. Ongoing research may offer further insights.

description: An understanding of the post-impact dynamics of ejecta clouds are crucial to the planning of a kinetic impact mission to an asteroid, and also has great implications for the history of planetary formation. The purpose of this article to track the evolution of ejecta produced by AIDA mission, which targets for kinetic impact the secondary of near-Earth binary asteroid 65803 Didymos on 2022, and to feedback essential informations to AIDA's ongoing phase-A study. We present a detailed dynamic model for the simulation of an ejecta cloud from a binary asteroid that synthesizes all relevant forces based on a previous analysis of the mechanical environment. We apply our method to gain insight into the expected response of Didymos to the AIDA impact, including the subsequent evolution of debris and dust. The crater scaling relations from laboratory experiments are employed to approximate the distributions of ejecta mass and launching speed. The size composition of fragments is modeled with a power law fitted from observations of real asteroid surface. A full-scale demonstration is simulated using parameters specified by the mission. We report the results of the simulation, which include the computed spread of the ejecta cloud and the recorded history of ejecta accretion and escape. The violent period of the ejecta evolution is found to be short, and is followed by a stage where the remaining ejecta is gradually cleared. Solar radiation pressure proves to be efficient in cleaning dust-size ejecta, and the simulation results after two weeks shows that large debris on polar orbits (perpendicular to the binary orbital plane) has a survival advantage over smaller ejecta and ejecta that keep to low latitudes.

description: Epicoccum nigrum is a saprophytic or endophytic fungus that is found worldwide. Because of the antagonist effects of E. nigrum on many plant pathogens, current studies on E. nigrum have focused on the development of biological control agents and the utilization of its various metabolites. In this study, E. nigrum was collected from a wheat field, and its genetic diversity was analyzed. Phylogenetic analyses identified 63 isolates of E. nigrum divided into seven groups, indicating a wide genetic diversity. Isolates antagonized the wheat pathogen Fusarium graminearum, and reduced disease symptoms caused by F. graminearum in wheat coleoptiles. Moreover, pretreatment of wheat coleoptiles with E. nigrum induced the upregulation of pathogen-related (PR) genes, PR1, PR2, PR3, PR5, PR9, and PR10 in wheat coleoptiles responding to F. graminearum invasion. Overall, this study indicates that E. nigrum isolates can be used as biological pathogen inhibitors applied in wheat fields.

Reframing Automation - a new model for anticipating risks and impacts

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Automation, Technology

description: We are living through the greatest technological transition since industrialisation, with automation precipitating major transformations in the nature and experience of work. For policymakers to craft a fairer future of better work through this transition, they need to understand the different impacts that automation can have, and how these impacts structure different types of risk, in different circumstances, for different groups. In this paper, automation is presented as a process comprising choices made during design, development and deployment of technology. In this regard, while the deployment of technology within firms is most significant, we recognise that aspects of system design which shape impacts are decided before a firm puts them into use. We argue that, rather than outcomes of technology being predetermined, choices made during each of these stages are conditioned by ideas. Ideas shape what we optimise for, and approach to value creation, and in turn specific impacts. While there are risks relating to changing access to or availability of work, linked to the conventionally perceived threat of ‘displacement’ so too can automation affect quality and conditions of work in significant ways, with different outcomes for different groups. By considering automation as a series of decisions which can lead to different types of work transformation, we aim to identify a wider range of intervention points to steer innovation towards beneficial social outcomes, such as a fairer future through better work.

description: The antifungal activity of thymol against Aspergillus awamori F23 and Botrytis aclada F15 in onions was examined through direct treatment with amended media and gaseous treatment with I-plates (plastic plates containing central partitions). The protective and curative control efficacy of thymol was examined 24 h before and after the inoculation of onion bulbs with the fungal isolates. Mycelial growth, sporulation, and spore germination of the isolates were inhibited on potato dextrose agar amended with various concentrations of thymol or acetic acid (positive control). Overall, thymol produced a stronger inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth and development of the isolates than acetic acid. Following gaseous treatment in I-plates, mycelial growth, sporulation, and spore germination of the isolates were inhibited at higher concentrations of thymol or acetic acid; however, acetic acid showed a little effect on the sporulation and spore germination of the isolates. Following the treatment of onion bulbs with 1000 mg L−1 of thymol 24 h before and after fungal inoculation, lesion diameter was greatly reduced compared with that following treatment with 0.5% ethanol (solvent control). Onion bulbs sprayed with thymol 24 h before fungal inoculation generally showed reduced lesion diameters by isolate F23 but not in isolate F15 compared with those sprayed 24 h after fungal inoculation. Collectively, thymol effectively inhibited the growth and development of A. awamori and B. aclada on amended media and in I-plates. In addition, spraying or fumigation of thymol is more desirable for effectively controlling these postharvest fungal pathogens during long-term storage conditions.

A Physiological Approach for User Experience Evaluation. Case Study: Interaction with Tabletop Systems for Music Creation
Creators: name: Mundó Sparato, Diana M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2012

description: Based on previous studies, physiological data has proven to be a promising, valuable indicator of emotional different states during game experience, such as emotional response and relaxation. However, there are few studies showing how such techniques can support and/or complement traditional User Experience (UX) assessment methods, both subjective (e.g. surveys and psychometric questionnaires) and objective (log files, tracking systems, etc.). We propose to develop a multimodal UX framework that combines both subjective, self-reported measures and objective, physiology based metrics, specifically EEG. We hypothesize that physiological measures can improve traditional UX evaluation methods by removing biases such as lack of memory of participants, social desirability, and adding real-time biometric feedback to asynchronous evaluation of interactive experience (e.g. post test questionnaires). In order to test the strength and possible applications of such multimodal assessment framework, we have designed a set of pilot tests and task-oriented experiments using tabletop tangible interfaces for music creation, where EEG data from subjects was recorded. Through this approach we aim at investigating whether significant correlations and interactions occur between subjective and physiological measures describing user's responses to this interactive music composition experiences in terms of challenge, enjoyment and excitement.
A functional renormalization group approach to electronic structure calculations for systems without translational symmetry

description: A formalism for electronic-structure calculations is presented that is based on the functional renormalization group (FRG). The traditional FRG has been formulated for systems that exhibit a translational symmetry with an associated Fermi surface, which can provide the organization principle for the renormalization group (RG) procedure. We here advance an alternative formulation, where the RG-flow is organized in the energy-domain rather than in k-space. This has the advantage that it can also be applied to inhomogeneous matter lacking a band-structure, such as disordered metals or molecules. The energy-domain FRG (εFRG) presented here accounts for Fermi-liquid corrections to quasi-particle energies and particle-hole excitations. It goes beyond the state of the art GW-BSE, because in εFRG the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) is solved in a self-consistent manner. An efficient implementation of the approach that has been tested against exact diagonalization calculations and calculations based on the density matrix renormalization group is presented. Similar to the conventional FRG, also the εFRG is able to signalize the vicinity of an instability of the Fermi-liquid fixed point via runaway flow of the corresponding interaction vertex. Embarking upon this fact, in an application of εFRG to the spinless disordered Hubbard model we calculate its phase-boundary in the plane spanned by the interaction and disorder strength. Finally, an extension of the approach to finite temperatures and spin S = 1/2 is also given.

description: Two strains, YP344 and YP579 were isolated from soil samples in Pocheon City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The strains YP344 and YP579 belong to the genus Vishniacozyma and Dioszegia, respectively. The molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that the strain YP344 was closely related to Vishniacozyma peneaus. Strain YP344T differed by four nucleotide substitutions with no gap (0.70%) in the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene and 16 nucleotide substitutions with 8 gaps (5.76%) in the ITS region. On the other hand, the strain YP579T varied from the type strain of the most closely related species, Dioszegia zsoltii var. zsoltii, by 6 nucleotide substitutions with four gaps (1.64%) in the D1/D2 domain of LSU rRNA gene and 26 nucleotide substitutions with 14 gaps (8.16%) in the ITS region. Therefore, the name Vishniacozyma terrae sp. nov. and Dioszegia terrae sp. nov. are proposed, with type strains YP344T (KCTC27988T) and YP579T (KCTC 27998T), respectively.
A Tonic Identification Approach for Indian Art Music
Creators: name: Gulati, Sankalp
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: In this thesis we address a fundamental aspect of the computational analysis of Indian art music, the automatic identification of the tonic of the lead performer. We propose two approaches for tonic identification in Indian art music, which take advantage of the characteristic feature of this music tradition by performing a multi-pitch analysis. We provide a short introduction to Indian art music, explaining the concept of tonic in the context of this music tradition. We review the main audio features, techniques and works relevant to the computational analysis of the tonal aspect of music and present a critique of previous approaches to tonic identification in Indian art music. A detailed description and the implementation steps for both the proposed methods are presented. The audio signal is transformed using a multi-pitch representation, which is then used to construct the pitch histograms. The tonic is identified using the prominent peaks of a pitch histogram. Following a classification based approach the system automatically learns the best set of rules to select the peak of the histogram that represents the tonic. In addition to the multi-pitch representation, the second method also analyzes the predominant melody pitches to estimate the tonic octave. Further, we also present a proposal for a complete iterative system for tonic identification which aims to use both audio and metadata. The methods are evaluated on a sizable diverse database of Indian art music, compiled as a part of the CompMusic1 project. The obtained results are good and demonstrate the advantage of using a multi-pitch approach. A detailed error analysis is performed and the plausible reasons for errors are discussed. The thesis is concluded with a summary of the work, highlighting the main conclusions and and the contributions made.

Interplay between anisotropy and spatial dispersion in metamaterial waveguide

description: We analyze spectrum of waveguide modes of an arbitrary uniaxial anisotropic metamaterial slab with non-local electromagnetic response whose permittivity tensor could be described within Drude approximation. Spatial dispersion was introduced within the hydrodynamical model. Both anisotropy and spatial dispersion were considered as perturbations. This helps to distinguish their effect on the spectrum of the slab and to analyze lifting of the degeneracy of eigenmodes at plasma frequency in detail. Spatial dispersion is shown to result in break of the singularity in the den- sity of optical states in the hyperbolic regime and in suppression of negative dispersion induced by anisotropy. Mutual effect of spatial dispersion and anisotropy can bring light to a complete stop at certain frequencies.

description: Protein solubility and conformational stability are a result of a balance of interactions both within a protein and between protein and solvent. The electrostatic solvation free energy of oligoglycines, models for the peptide backbone, becomes more favorable with an increasing length, yet longer peptides collapse due to the formation of favorable intrapeptide interactions between CO dipoles, in some cases without hydrogen bonds. The strongly repulsive solvent cavity formation is balanced by van der Waals attractions and electrostatic contributions. In order to investigate the competition between solvent exclusion and charge interactions we simulate the collapse of a long oligoglycine comprised of 15 residues while scaling the charges on the peptide from zero to fully charged. We examine the effect this has on the conformational properties of the peptide. We also describe the approximate thermodynamic changes that occur during the scaling both in terms of intrapeptide potentials and peptide-water potentials, and estimate the electrostatic solvation free energy of the system.

Estimation of coherent error sources from stabilizer measurements

description: In the context of measurement-based quantum computation a way of maintaining the coherence of a graph state is to measure its stabilizer operators. Aside from performing quantum error correction, it is possible to exploit the information gained from these measurements to characterize and then counteract a coherent source of errors; that is, to determine all the parameters of an error channel that applies a fixed - but unknown - unitary operation to the physical qubits. Such a channel is generated, e.g., by local stray fields that act on the qubits. We study the case in which each qubit of a given graph state may see a different error channel and we focus on channels given by a rotation on the Bloch sphere around either the x, y or z axis, for which analytical results can be given in a compact form. The possibility of reconstructing the channels at all qubits depends non-trivially on the topology of the graph state. We prove via perturbation methods that the reconstruction process is robust and supplement the analytic results with numerical evidence.

Modelling elliptically polarised Free Electron Lasers

description: A model of a Free Electron Laser operating with an elliptically polarised undulator is presented. The equations describing the FEL interaction, including resonant harmonic radiation fields, are averaged over an undulator period and generate a generalised Bessel function scaling factor, similar to that of planar undulator FEL theory. Comparison between simulations of the averaged model with those of an unaveraged model show very good agreement in the linear regime. Two unexpected results were found. Firstly, an increased coupling to harmonics for elliptical rather than planar polarisarised undulators. Secondly, and thought to be unrelated to the undulator polarisation, a signficantly different evolution between the averaged and unaveraged simulations of the harmonic radiation evolution approaching FEL saturation.

description: Phosphorus is a crucial element in biochemistry, especially the P-O bond, which is key for the formation of the backbone of the deoxyribonucleic acid. So far, PO has only been detected towards the envelope of evolved stars, and never towards star-forming regions. We report the first detections of PO towards two massive star-forming regions, W51 e1/e2 and W3(OH), using data from the IRAM 30m telescope. PN has also been detected towards the two regions. The abundance ratio PO/PN is 1.8 and 3 for W51 and W3(OH), respectively. Our chemical model indicates that the two molecules are chemically related and are formed via gas-phase ion-molecule and neutral-neutral reactions during the cold collapse. The molecules freeze out onto grains at the end of the collapse and desorb during the warm-up phase once the temperature reaches 35 K. Similar abundances of the two species are expected during a period of 5x10^{4} yr at the early stages of the warm-up phase, when the temperature is in the range 35-90 K. The observed molecular abundances of 10^{-10} are predicted by the model if a relatively high initial abundance of 5x10^{-9} of depleted phosphorus is assumed.

description: Background. One important ingredient for many applications of nuclear physics to astrophysics, nuclear energy, and stockpile stewardship are cross sections for reactions of neutrons with rare isotopes. Since direct measurements are often not feasible, indirect methods, e.g. (d,p) reactions, should be used. Those (d,p) reactions may be viewed as three-body reactions and described with Faddeev techniques. Purpose. Faddeev equations in momentum space have a long tradition of utilizing separable interactions in order to arrive at sets of coupled integral equations in one variable. Optical potentials representing the effective interactions in the neutron (proton) nucleus subsystem are usually non-Hermitian as well as energy-dependent. Potential matrix elements as well as transition matrix elements calculated with them must fulfill the reciprocity theorem. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a separable, energy-dependent representation of complex, energy-dependent optical potentials that fulfill reciprocity exactly. Results. Starting from a separable, energy-independent representation of global optical potentials based on a generalization of the Ernst-Shakin-Thaler (EST) scheme, a further generalization is needed to take into account the energy dependence. Applications to n$+^{48}$Ca, n$+^{208}$Pb, and p$+^{208}$Pb are investigated for energies from 0 to 50~MeV with special emphasis on fulfilling reciprocity. Conclusions. We find that the energy-dependent separable representation of complex, energy-dependent phenomenological optical potentials fulfills reciprocity exactly. In addition, taking into account the explicit energy dependence slightly improves the description of the $S$ matrix elements.
