description: This thesis thoroughly explores the integration of statistical and
 reinforcement learning techniques, aiming to provide fresh perspectives
 and solutions for enhancing the current state-of-the-art methods
 considering the capabilities of autonomous agents to perform learning,
 planning and estimation in an online manner in a single and multi-agent
 systems context. We aim to address a critical demand in the field,
 steering away from the prevailing dependence on the application of
 intensive computational resources and large amounts of data as a
 requirement to achieve peak performance in our context. Our primary focus
 centres on studying and refining solutions in the ``online planning under
 uncertainty'' research area. We have ventured beyond the
 boundaries of existing literature, pushing our proposals to more complex
 and challenging problems. As concrete contributions, we introduce three
 new algorithms: IB-POMCP, an online planning algorithm which uses
 information entropy to augment a single agent's decision making
 capabilities; OEATE, a type and parameter estimation method to handle
 coordination with multiple unknown teammates in cooperative environments;
 and BAE, a method capable of detecting adverserial agents disguised as
 teammates in cooperative environments on-the-fly. Our proposals contribute
 to the evolution of autonomous systems and are supported by empirical and
 theoretical results. We demonstrate that our new perspectives for
 agents' reasoning processes can present generic and extendable
 solutions to diverse scenarios and problems. Finally, during the PhD
 journey, we have developed and presented to the research community a new
 framework designed to aggregate relevant baselines and benchmarks for
 multi-agent systems: the AdLeap-MAS. AdLeap-MAS framework stands out as a
 novel tool centred on the implementation and simulation of ad-hoc
 reasoning domains for multi-agent, collaborative, and adversarial
 contexts. The framework aims to facilitate the execution of experiments
 and the re-use existing codes across different environments. We provide a
 user-friendly environment that not only extends the frontiers of our
 research but also serves as a valuable resource for the research
 community.
Soft Robotics: a developmental approach

description: In this Chapter we will first introduce and review soft robotics research, with emphasis on how compliance and softness have changed the robotics landscape in the past two decades. We will then briefly discuss the key ideas in Developmental Robotics which are fundamental for understanding the relationship between biological systems and artificial systems and finally discuss how the developmental sciences and soft robotics are irrevocably linked, into what we have chosen to call “Developmental Soft Robotics”. Here, in fact, the two fields can be merged into one where the developmental sciences can aid in the design and make of soft robots, which can then be used as platforms to better understand biological systems. We will finally discuss how phylogenetic development, ontogenetic development and short-term adaptation are indeed naturally suited to be embedded within a “soft” robotic context.

Robotic cooking through pose extraction from human natural cooking using OpenPose
Creators: name: Danno, Dylan

name: Hauser, Simon
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2021

description: Robotic cooking is a diffcult task, as the translation from raw recipe instructions to robotic actions involving precise motions and tool-handling is challenging. This paper introduces automated recipe technique recognition based on recording the pose trajectories of human demonstrators carrying out a pancake recipe, as an intuitive method for untrained demonstrators to show a robot how to carry out their recipe variant. A Kinect 2 sensor and the OpenPose neural network are used to extract key timings from the demonstrations, which are replicated when the recipe is carried out by a UR5 arm. Comparing several human-cooked pancakes with their robot-replicated counterparts, the robot's pancake quality scores were found to be only slightly inferior to the human ones, suggesting that the key parameters selected did encompass the most important variations in cooking technique. Furthermore, we discuss preliminary results in inferring the relationship between the cooking parameters and the quality scores.

Digital Technologies and Analytics: An Investigation on University Academic Staff Perceptions of the Role ‘Big Data and Analytics’ might play in Teaching and Learning.
Creators: name: Chawawa, Margaret
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 This thesis investigates variation in how academics account for Big Data
 (BD) in teaching and learning in higher education from a single
 institution in the United Kingdom (UK).

 The study adopted a phenomenographic research approach in order to elicit
 and give a detailed qualitatively different ways in which academic staff
 experienced Big Data and Analytics in teaching and learning. These
 phenomenographic results were based on a purposive sample of thirty-six
 academic staff as participants who ranged from gender, age, academic
 positions, and careers across the nine schools in the university. Semi
 structured interviews were used for data gathering in this study and these
 were subjected to a rigorous phenomenographic analysis. In this study the
 analysis revealed qualitative differences in academic staff accounts of
 their experience with Big Data which constituted five hierarchical
 descriptions of categories in the role that Big Data emerges which
 included (1) no knowledge, (2) large amount of data, (3) evidence of
 student support, (4) structured information, (5) evidence of professional
 development. These findings highlighted the fact that academic staff hold
 on views about Big Data to an extent that has not always been acknowledged
 in existing literature in teaching and learning in higher education.

 This research gives a more comprehensive picture of the way academic staff
 experience the role that Big Data plays in teaching and learning, however
 the research also revealed the incompleteness of this world picture and
 suggests the need to carry out further research on the topic to enhance
 the existing knowledge.

description: Scientia Silvica extension series was started in 1997 by Karel Klinka, a silvics professor at the University of British Columbia. He saw the need for a friendly way of distributing current research results to the forestry community. Each extension pamphlet represents a 2-4 page summary of research findings in the field of forest ecology. Topics range from humus form and ecosystem classification to forest productivity, regeneration, stand structure, soil nutrient regimes, coarse woody debris, and plant diversity. Included in each summary is a reference to the more technical original report or scientific paper and contact information for those who wish further information. Also included in the series are several full colour comprehensive reports on ecosystem classification. All pamphlets and reports are in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format for on-screen viewing or printing. Forest Renewal British Columbia provided the funding for this version of Scientia Silvica extension series.
A long blade flint industry beneath boreal peat at Titchwell, Norfolk
Creators: name: Robins, P A

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2020

description: Norfolk Archaeology, 42 (1), 13-37
description: Describes a flint industry mainly recovered from the beach at Titchwell over a period of several years. Similar material was eventually found in situ beneath a complex sequence of stratified peats and estuarine and marine clays, only visible at exceptionally low tides. It was concluded that this was the source from which the material on the beach had come, washed by waves from its place of discard to near the high water mark. It is an industry based on elegant blade production (some of considerable length) with scrapers, burins, various retouched pieces but no microlithic or axe/adze element. Such is typical of the general tradition of flintwork produced by itinerant hunter-gatherers of north-west Europe during the Late Glacial--Early Post-Glacial periods. This is the first time that such an industry has been found in Norfolk in any quantity and which can be related to a stratigraphic context. It indicates human activity or settlement on an inland, open site, possibly close to a river. The site was gradually inundated by the Post-Glacial rise in sea level. Radiocarbon dating and palynological evidence shows that the site could not have been occupied after about 7, 000bc. `The stratigraphy of the Titchwell foreshore, north Norfolk' by P G Hoare & C O Hunt (19-21) is followed by details of the flint industry itself, and `The diatom profile' by J Barnard (31-3), `Foraminifera' by J E Robinson (34), `Charcoal' by P Murphy (34), and a section on dating methodology including `Radiocarbon' by V R Switsur and `Thermoluminescence' by N Debenham & S G E Bowman (34-6).

A Quantum-Mechanical Mechanism for Reducing the Cosmological Constant

description: We exhibit a mechanism which dynamically adjusts cosmological constant toward $0^+$. The adjustment is quantum-mechanical, discharging cosmological constant in random discrete steps. It renders de Sitter space unstable, and triggers its decay toward Minkowski. Since the instability dynamically stops at $\Lambda = 0$, the evolution favors the terminal Minkowski space without a need for anthropics. The mechanism works for any QFT coupled to gravity.

description: This report expands and clarifies previous classifications of non-forested plant communities from upper subalpine and alpine locations in coastal British Columbia. A total of 80 plots (releves) sampled specifically for this study were added to 202 releves from published and unpublished studies conducted since 1963. We used tabular and multivariate methods to synthesize and classify plant communities according to the Braun-Blanquet approach. Plant communities were classified into 37 vegetation units (associations or subassociations) which served as the basis of the resulting hierarchical classification. We describe the habitat and species composition of these vegetation units and their relationship to units recogized elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest. We then present eight generalized habitat types which we propose as the basic units for future ecosystem mapping. Each of these habitat types includes a predictable mosaic of vegetation units whose pattern occurs at too fine a scale to map individually.

Year: 2008

description: This full report describes both forested and non-forested ecosystems of the Mountain Hemlock (MH) zone of British Columbia (also referred to as the subalpine MH zone, coastal subalpine forest, or coastal mountain hemlock forest). It is one of 14 technical reports intended to provide a comprehensive account of the biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification (BEC) system as well as some management implications for each zone in the province. These zonal reports should fill the gap between the general description given in “Ecosystems of British Columbia” (Meidinger and Pojar 1991) and the information on site identification and interpretation given in regional field guides (e.g., Banner et al. 1993, Green and Klinka 1994).
Coupling Neural Networks to Incomplete Dynamical Systems via Variational Data Assimilation.
Creators: name: Tang, Youmin
name: Hsieh, William W.
Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2011

description: The advent of the feed-forward neural network (N) model opens the possibility of hybrid neural–dynamical models via variational data assimilation. Such a hybrid model may be used in situations where some variables, difficult to model dynamically, have sufficient data for modeling them empirically with an N. This idea of using an N to replace missing dynamical equations is tested with the Lorenz three-component nonlinear system, where one of the three Lorenz equations is replaced by an N equation. In several experiments, the 4DVAR assimilation approach is used to estimate 1) the N model parameters (26 parameters), 2) two dynamical parameters and three initial conditions for the hybrid model, and 3) the dynamical parameters, initial conditions, and the N parameters (28 parameters plus three initial conditions). Two cases of the Lorenz model—(i) the weakly nonlinear case of quasiperiodic oscillations, and (ii) the highly nonlinear, chaotic case—were chosen to test the forecast skills of the hybrid model. Numerical experiments showed that for the weakly nonlinear case, the hybrid model can be very successful, with forecast skills similar to the original Lorenz model. For the highly nonlinear case, the hybrid model could produce reasonable predictions for at least one cycle of oscillation for most experiments, although poor results were obtained for some experiments. In these failed experiments, the data used for assimilation were often located on one wing of the Lorenz butterfly-shaped attractor, while the system moved to the second wing during the forecast period. The forecasts failed as the model had never been trained with data from the second wing. Copyright 2001 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

Air quality in postunification Erfurt, East Germany : associating changes in pollutant concentrations with changes in emissions

description: The unification of East and West Germany in 1990 resulted in sharp decreases in emissions of major air pollutants. This change in air quality has provided an opportunity for a natural experiment to evaluate the health impacts of air pollution. We evaluated airborne particle size distribution and gaseous co-pollutant data collected in Erfurt, Germany, throughout the 1990s and assessed the extent to which the observed changes are associated with changes in the two major emission sources: coal burning for power production and residential heating, and motor vehicles. Continuous data for sulfur dioxide, total suspended particulates (TSP), nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, and meteorologic parameters were available for 1990–1999, and size-selective particle number and mass concentration measurements were made during winters of 1991 and 1998. We used hourly profiles of pollutants and linear regression analyses, stratified by year, weekday/weekend, and hour, using NO and SO₂ as markers of traffic- and heating-related combustion sources, respectively, to study the patterns of various particle size fractions. Supplementary data on traffic and heating-related sources were gathered to support hypotheses linking these sources with observed changes in ambient air pollution levels. Substantially decreased (19–91%) concentrations were observed for all pollutants, with the exception of particles in the 0.01–0.03 μm size range (representing the smallest ultrafine particles that were measured). The number concentration for these particles increased by 115% between 1991 and 1998. The ratio of these ultrafine particles to TSP also increased by more than 500%, indicating a dramatic change in the size distribution of airborne particles. Analysis of hourly concentration patterns indicated that in 1991, concentrations of SO₂ and larger particle sizes were related to residential heating with coal. These peaks were no longer evident in 1998 due to decreases in coal consumption and consequent decreased emissions of SO₂ and larger particles. These decreases in coal combustion and the decreased concentrations of SO₂ and particles of larger size classes may have led to decreased particle scavenging and may be partially responsible for the observed increases in ultrafine particles. Traffic-related changes, such as increased numbers of trucks and increased use of diesel vehicles in Erfurt, were also associated with increased number concentrations of ultrafine particles. Morning particle peaks of all sizes were associated with NO and CO (markers for traffic) in both the 1991 and 1998 periods. There were significant differences in the ultrafine particle levels for morning hours between 1991 and 1998, suggesting that traffic was the cause of this increase.

description: This study merges the perspectives of Religion, Mythology 🧜‍♀️and Modern Media in response to an unpopular controversy in Comparative Religion…“Was the Earthly Jesus a Demi-God? Filters from the Greek Myths and Contradictions”. While bits of the Religious perspective of the study were drawn from the Communication course Winter Course “Contemporary Social Theory” at Drexel University, more of this is a brief textual analysis from the Holy Bible (NT - KJV). The Mythological aspect of the study was drawn from a collection of research on Greek Mythology and the Media perspective was drawn from Screen (the 2014 Harlin’s Netflix film “The Legend of Hercules”). With a blend of ancient history and contemporary discourses, this study supports the Pederson et al (2015) research findings about the divinity of Christ Jesus and the obvious chasm that exists between Him and Greek’s demi-gods as shown in Bremmer (2005).

description: On purchasing portions of the Hilborough and Clermont Estates, the MoD funded a fieldwalking survey of the area. This was carried out by the writer for the Norfolk Archaeological Unit during the winter of 1987-88 and was followed by documentary investigation. Subsequently, at the invitation of the owner, portions of the site of Bodney DMV were surveyed. Discoveries ranged from the Neolithic to post-medieval. Substantial IA and RB sites were found together with evidence of common-edge and valley-floor medieval expansion of settlement. Some light was thrown on the origin and eventual fate of Bodney and on the identity of the chapel of St George in Great Cressingham.

Nonlinear Canonical Correlation Analysis of the Tropical Pacific Climate Variability Using a Neural Network Approach.
Creators: name: Hsieh, William W.
Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2016

description: Recent advances in neural network modeling have led to the nonlinear generalization of classical multivariate analysis techniques such as principal component analysis and canonical correlation analysis (CCA). The nonlinear canonical correlation analysis (NLCCA) method is used to study the relationship between the tropical Pacific sea level pressure (SLP) and sea surface temperature (SST) fields. The first mode extracted is a nonlinear El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) mode, showing the asymmetry between the warm El Niño states and the cool La Niña states. The nonlinearity of the first NLCCA mode is found to increase gradually with time. During 1950–75, the SLP showed no nonlinearity, while the SST revealed weak nonlinearity. During 1976–99, the SLP displayed weak nonlinearity, while the weak nonlinearity in the SST was further enhanced. The second NLCCA mode displays longer timescale fluctuations, again with weak, but noticeable, nonlinearity in the SST but not in the SLP. Copyright 2001 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Democracies are under attack from various sides. In recent years AI-powered techniques such as profiling, targeting, election manipulation, and massive disinformation campaigns via social bots and troll farms challenge the very foundations of democratic systems. Against this background, demands for regulating AI have gotten louder. In this paper, we focus on the European Union (EU) as the actor that has gone the furthest in terms of regulating AI. We therefore ask: What kind of instruments does the EU envision in their binding and non-binding documents to prevent AI harm to democracy? And what critique can be formulated regarding these instruments? To address these questions, the article makes two contributions. First, by building on a systematic understanding of deliberative democracy, we introduce the distinction between two types of harm that can arise from the widespread use of AI: rights-based harm and systemic harm. Second, by analysing a number of EU documents, including the GDPR, the AI Act, the TTAP, and the DSA, we argue that the EU envisions four primary instruments for safeguarding democracy from the harmful use of AI: prohibition, transparency, risk management, and digital education. While these instruments provide a relatively high level of protection for rights-based AI harm, there is still ample space for these technologies to produce systemic harm to democracy.
Markerless BIM Registration for Mobile Augmented Reality Based Inspection
Creators: name: Brilakis, Ioannis
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2023

description: On-site construction inspection requires extensive data extraction from paper or digital drawings and/or databases. This is time consuming and labour intensive. One of the potentially viable solutions to this problem is providing easier access to such data through mobile augmented reality (AR) systems. Such systems can facilitate simpler, faster and more accurate inspection processes by allowing users to have instant access to better visualisations of the Building Information Model (BIM) for the location they inspect. One of the main problems of current AR systems is in having an accurate alignment of the BIM on the user’s view. In order to solve this problem, researchers have proposed solutions that either use tags, restrict the user to specific spots, or rely on Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and compasses that are unable to be used in an indoor environment. This paper presents an alternative, markerless solution based on the Kinect Fusion, since new mobile augmented reality devices are equipped with similar RGB and depth sensors. This solution combines the registration of the camera pose provided by Kinect Fusion with the registration achieved using the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm on the 3D reconstruction generated by Kinect Fusion. The results indicate the potential for maintaining a stable registration while traversing indoors, while generating 3D data that can be used to sense the user’s surroundings.

THE POTENTIAL FOR CREATING A GEOMETRIC DIGITAL TWIN OF ROAD SURFACES USING PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND COMPUTER VISION
Creators: name: Ding, Jialei
name: Ioannis, Brilakis
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2023

description: Current methods to create 3D models of roads are not scalable. Advances in photogrammetry mean that they have emerged as a realistic alternative to LiDAR for producing 3D spatial data. As photogrammetry is based on image data, methods developed in the area of computer vision can be utilised to segment or find relationships between assets in the point cloud. This could in turn be leveraged to generate 3D models. This paper presents the various advances in computer vision that can be applied to generate 3D models of the road surface, which could be used as a basis for creating a digital twin of a road.
title: An investigation into the cultural sensitivity of the curriculum: Its impact on students' engagement in higher education
Creators: name: Thomas, Dave S.P.
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: Imperatives to eliminate racial inequalities in UK higher education (HE) have led to calls for diversification of curricula. Qualitative evidence is growing about ethnic minority students' perceptions of their curricula and its impact on them. Yet, there are no specific quantitative instruments to facilitate larger-scale evaluation of curricular diversification and its impact on students. In this study, I examined the relationship between university students' perceptions of the cultural sensitivity of their curriculum and their engagement, as measured by students' interactions with their teachers and their interest in their programme of study. To do so, a new set of four Culturally Sensitive Curriculum Scales (CSCS) was conceptualised and developed, making a significant, original conceptual and methodological contribution. An ethnically diverse sample (N=262) rated the cultural sensitivity of the curriculum of their programme of study, their interactions with teachers, and their interest. Ethnic minority students (N=157) perceived their curriculum as less culturally sensitive on all four dimensions of the CSCS, reported fewer academic interactions with teachers, and had lower levels of interest than White students (N=100). Each of the four Culturally Sensitive Curriculum Scales was significantly related to academic interactions with teachers and to interest. Regression analyses showed that all dimensions of cultural sensitivity mediated effects of ethnicity on interactions with teachers. Two dimensions of cultural sensitivity (Diversity Represented and Challenge Power) mediated effects of ethnicity on interest. Therefore, ensuring curricula are diverse and critical may support minority ethnic students' engagement and, in turn, may contribute to reducing achievement gaps. Further implications are discussed.
