description: Climate change and biological invasions are threatening biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. It has now been widely acknowledged that climate change will affect biological invasions. A large number of studies have investigated predicted shifts and other changes in the geographic ranges of invasive alien species related to climate change using modeling approaches. Yet these studies have provided contradictory evidence, and no consensus has been reached. We conducted a systematic review of 423 modeling case studies included in 71 publications that have examined the predicted effects of climate change on those species. We differentiate the approaches used in these studies and synthesize their main results. Our results reaffirm the major role of climate change as a driver of invasive alien species distribution in the future. We found biases in the literature both regarding the taxa, toward plants and invertebrates, and the areas of the planet investigated. Despite these biases, we found for the plants and vertebrates studied that climate change will more frequently contribute to a decrease in species range size than an increase in the overall area occupied. This is largely due to oceans preventing terrestrial invaders from spreading poleward. In contrast, we found that the ranges of invertebrates and pathogens studied are more likely to increase following climate change. An important caveat to these findings is that researchers have rarely considered the effects of climate change on transport, introduction success, or the resulting impacts. We recommend closing these research gaps, and propose additional avenues for future investigations, as well as opportunities and challenges for managing invasions under climate change.

description: TESS has provided us with an unprecedented quality of light curves (LCs), enabling us to study variability at the mmag level. We utilize the high quality 2-min cadence data for the target AI Hydrae to study this eclipsing binary and its delta Scuti pulsator component. We model the light curve using JKTEBOP, simultaneously fitting sinusoidal and polynomial functions to account for the LC variability caused by the pulsations and other trends. This modelling is complimented further by frequency analysis of the out-of-eclipse regions in the LC and analysis of spectra observed at different orbital phases using HIDES spectrograph. This helps us obtain accurate values of orbital and stellar parameters with robust errors. Additionally, plans of investigating the pulsations from an asteroseismic angle will help us shed some more light on the properties of this delta Scuti pulsator.

description: Negative interactions have been suggested as a major barrier for species arriving in a new habitat. More recently, positive interactions drew attention from community assembly theory and invasion science. The invasional meltdown hypothesis (IMH) introduced the idea that positive interactions among non-native species could facilitate one another’s invasion, even increasing their impact upon the native community. Many studies have addressed IMH, but with contrasting results, reflecting various types of evidence on a multitude of scales. Here we use the hierarchy-of-hypotheses (HoH) approach to differentiate key aspects of IMH, organizing and linking empirical studies to sub-hypotheses of IMH. We also assess the level of empirical support for each sub-hypothesis based on the evidence reported in the studies. We identified 150 studies addressing IMH. The majority of studies support IMH, but the evidence comes from studies with different aims and questions. Supporting studies at the community or ecosystem level are currently rare. Evidence is scarce for marine habitats and vertebrates. Few sub-hypotheses are questioned by more than 50% of the evaluated studies, indicating that non-native species do not affect each other’s survival, growth, reproduction, abundance, density or biomass in reciprocal A ↔ B interactions. With the HoH for IMH presented here, we can monitor progress in empirical tests and evidences of IMH. For instance, more tests at the community and ecosystem level are needed, as these are necessary to address the core of this hypothesis.

description: Building envelope design plays a key role in energy performance and sustainability considering the thermal, lighting, acoustic and visual comfort, as well as aesthetics, economics and durability. Adaptive building envelopes can provide a real-time process of reconfiguration enlivening the environmental performance compared to conventional static building envelopes. Adaptive systems may be further developed for direct application on building façades, in order to provide control of natural lighting, ventilation and temperature of the inner spaces through their own transformability, surface openings and materials. Relevant adaptive shading systems in context are outlined in the current paper. By extent, an adaptive shading system integrated in a multi-storey office building is taken as example, to improve the building energy performance with dynamic behavior over time. Shading systems and vegetation further protect the interiors of the building from overheating. The southwest elevation overlooking the main road is protected by deciduous trees plant on the ground, and plants in linear pots are placed all along each floor. Shade elements also mitigate the traffic noise along the western artery and screen it visually. The adaptive façade design is based on the daylight performance with respect to the local sun paths, local climate and internal loads of the building. This is achieved by mechanically controlling the orientation of the vertical panels and the embedded louvers. Optimization and effectiveness of the external shading system is succeeded through its ability to adapt to changing climatic conditions.

Among the solutions there are spinning strings as well as superconducting ones. The solutions exist only in a non trivial domain of the parameter space defined by the ratio between the SU(N) and U(1) coupling constants, the scalar self-interaction coupling constants, the magnetic fluxes (Abelian as well as non-Abelian) and the ``twist parameter'' which is a non-trivial relative phase of the Higgs fields.

description: For the vast majority of exoplanets’ hosts, the age is not well constrained and consequently, planet properties, demographics, and occurrence rates have been widely unmapped as a function of time. Discovering exoplanets in young associations and moving groups can shed light on these topics as they provide the opportunity to investigate planet formation and evolution in environments with well-defined ages. The Full-Frame Images of TESS offer a huge data mining archive of millions of light curves to investigate. We present the analysis of∼12k TESS light curves of stars, belonging to 41 young associations and moving groups, with ages spanning from 1 Myr to 680 Myr. We have extracted the light curves of young association members from the FFIs, corrected the systematic errors that affected them, and performed transit simulations to establish the performances of our technique to discover transit planet candidates. We report the detection of novel candidates exoplanets belonging to stellar associations with ages between 10 and 50 Myr.

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.

title: A micro-mechanical insight into the thermo-mechanical behaviour of clays
Creators: name: Di Donna, Alice

Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2024

description: The response of fine-grained soils to the combined effects of stress and temperature is a problem of growing concern in geoenvironmental engineering. Unlike most materials, fine-grained soils subjected to heating under drained conditions can exhibit either reversible expansion or irreversible contraction, depending on their loading history. This clay complex thermo-mechanical behaviour is widely reported in the literature, but its origin is still unknown. This paper explores the particle-scale origin of clay thermo-mechanical behaviour and helps to inform constitutive thermo-mechanical models. Clay particle interactions include non-contact forces, which are electrochemical in nature and prevail in face-to-face configuration and contact forces, which are mechanical forces transferred from one particle to another through a contact surface, typical of edge-to-face configuration. Non-contact forces include electrostatic Coulombic forces and van der Waals attractive forces. This paper proposes a combined numerical and analytical approach to quantify the elementary interactions between clay particles. The results are used to interpret typical stress-thermal paths, such as compression tests at different temperatures and heating-cooling cycles at constant mechanical stress. It is concluded that the electrochemical interactions governing the face-to-face particle configuration can only explain the elastic volumetric response of over-consolidated clays subjected to heating. The thermo-plastic behaviour associated with the reduction of the pre-consolidation pressure with temperature and the volumetric plastic compressive strain in response to heating in normally-consolidated clays is attributed to the edge-to-face particle configurations.

description: This work proposes a novel finite volume paradigm, the face-centred finite volume (FCFV) method. Contrary to the popular vertex (VCFV) and cell (CCFV) centred finite volume methods, the novel FCFV defines the solution on the mesh faces (edges in 2D) to construct locally-conservative numerical schemes. The idea of the FCFV method stems from a hybridisable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) formulation with constant degree of approximation, thus inheriting the convergence properties of the classical HDG. The resulting FCFV features a global problem in terms of a piecewise constant function defined on the faces of the mesh. The solution and its gradient in each element are then recovered by solving a set of independent element-by-element problems. The mathematical formulation of FCFV for Poisson and Stokes equation is derived and numerical evidence of optimal convergence in 2D and 3D is provided. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the accuracy, efficiency and robustness of the proposed methodology. The results show that, contrary to other FV methods, the accuracy of the FCFV method is not sensitive to mesh distortion and stretching. In addition, the FCFV method shows its better performance, accuracy and robustness using simplicial elements, facilitating its application to problems involving complex geometries in 3D.

description: We report the optical, electrical transport, and magnetotransport properties of high quality oxygen deficient SrTiO3 (STO) single crystal film fabricated by pulsed laser deposition and reduced in the vacuum chamber. The oxygen vacancy distribution in the thin film is expected to be uniform. By comparing the electrical properties with oxygen deficient bulk STO, it was found that the oxygen vacancies in bulk STO is far from uniform over the whole material. The metal-insulator transition (MIT) observed in the oxygen deficient STO film was found to be induced by the carrier freeze-out effect. The low temperature frozen state can be re-excited by an electric field, Joule heating, and surprisingly also a large magnetic field.

Constituent quarks and systematic errors in mid-rapidity charged multiplicity $dN_{\rm ch}/dη$ distributions

description: Centrality definition in A$+$A collisions at colliders such as RHIC and LHC suffers from a correlated systematic uncertainty caused by the efficiency of detecting a p$+$p collision ($50\pm 5\%$ for PHENIX at RHIC). In A$+$A collisions where centrality is measured by the number of nucleon collisions, $N_{\rm coll}$, or the number of nucleon participants, $N_{\rm part}$, or the number of constituent quark participants, $N_{\rm qp}$, the error in the efficiency of the primary interaction trigger (Beam-Beam Counters) for a p$+$p collision leads to a correlated systematic uncertainty in $N_{\rm part}$, $N_{\rm coll}$ or $N_{\rm qp}$ which reduces binomially as the A$+$A collisions become more central. If this is not correctly accounted for in projections of A$+$A to p$+$p collisions, then mistaken conclusions can result. A recent example is presented in whether the mid-rapidity charged multiplicity per constituent quark participant $({dN_{\rm ch}/dη})/{N_{\rm qp}}$ in Au$+$Au at RHIC was the same as the value in p$+$p collisions.

description: This paper concerns the consensus of discrete-time multi-agent systems with linear or linearized dynamics. An observer-type protocol based on the relative outputs of neighboring agents is proposed. The consensus of such a multi-agent system with a directed communication topology can be cast into the stability of a set of matrices with the same low dimension as that of a single agent. The notion of discrete-time consensus region is then introduced and analyzed. For neurally stable agents, it is shown that there exists an observer-type protocol having a bounded consensus region in the form of an open unit disk, provided that each agent is stabilizable and detectable. An algorithm is further presented to construct a protocol to achieve consensus with respect to all the communication topologies containing a spanning tree. Moreover, for the case where the agents have no poles outside the unit circle,an algorithm is proposed to construct a protocol having an origin-centered disk of radius $δ$ ($0

description: In the framework of chiral kinetic theory (CKT), we consider a system of right- and left-handed Weyl fermions out of thermal equilibrium in a homogeneous weak magnetic field. We show that the Lorentz invariance implies a modification in the definition of the momentum current in the phase space, compared to the case in which the system is in global equilibrium. Using this modified momentum current, we derive the linearized conservation equations from the kinetic equation up to second order in the derivative expansion. It turns out that the eigenmodes of these equations, namely the hydrodynamic modes, differ from those obtained from the hydrodynamic in the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) frame at the same order. We show that the modes of the former case may be transformed to the corresponding modes in the latter case by a global boost. The velocity of the boost is proportional to the magnetic field as well as the difference between the right- and left-handed charges susceptibility. We then compute the chiral transport coefficients in a system of non-Abelian chiral fermions in the no-drag frame and by making the above boost, obtain the well-known transport coeffiecients of the system in the LL frame. Finally by using the idea of boost, we reproduce the AdS/CFT result for the chiral drag force exerted on a quark at rest in the rest frame of the fluid, without performing any holographic computations.

description: Abstract: "Satisfiability procedures have shown significant promise for symbolic simulation of large circuits, hence they have been used in many formal verification techniques, including automated abstraction refinement, ATPG etc. We show how to use modern SAT solvers like Chaff and GRASP to compute images of sets of states and how to efficiently detect fixed point of the sets of states during reachability analysis. Our method is completely SAT based, and does not use BDDs at all. The sets of states and transition relation are represented in clausal form, which can be processed by SAT checkers. The SAT checker subsequently generates the set of newly reached states in clausal form as well. At the heart of our engine lie two efficient algorithms. The first algorithm shortens the cubes that the SAT checker generates by a static-analysis algorithm, which significantly reduces the number of cubes the SAT checker needs to enumerate. The second algorithm reduces the space required to store sets of states as a set of cubes by a recursive cube-merging procedure. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our procedure on ISCAS sequential benchmarks for reachability. In particular, our algorithm does not have BDD size explosion surprises and deteriorates in a predictable manner."

description: We consider the problem of calculating the weak and strong topological indices in noncentrosymmetric time-reversal (T) invariant insulators. In 2D we use a gauge corresponding to hybrid Wannier functions that are maximally localized in one dimension. Although this gauge is not smoothly defined on the two-torus, it respects the T symmetry of the system and allows for a definition of the Z_2 invariant in terms of time-reversal polarization. In 3D we apply the 2D approach to T-invariant planes. We illustrate the method with first-principles calculations on GeTe and on HgTe under [001] and [111] strain. Our approach differs from ones used previously for noncentrosymmetric materials and should be easier to implement in ab initio code packages.

description: The point of this paper is to question typical assumptions in deep learning and suggest alternatives. A particular contribution is to prove that even if a Stacked Convolutional Auto-Encoder is good at reconstructing pictures, it is not necessarily good at discriminating their classes. When using Auto-Encoders, intuitively one assumes that features which are good for reconstruction will also lead to high classification accuracy. Indeed, it became research practice and is a suggested strategy by introductory books. However, we prove that this is not always the case. We thoroughly investigate the quality of features produced by Stacked Convolutional Auto-Encoders when trained to reconstruct their input. In particular, we analyze the relation between the reconstruction and classification capabilities of the network, if we were to use the same features for both tasks. Experimental results suggest that in fact, there is no correlation between the reconstruction score and the quality of features for a classification task. This means, more formally, that the sub-dimension representation space learned from the Stacked Convolutional Auto-Encoder (while being trained for input reconstruction) is not necessarily better separable than the initial input space. Furthermore, we show that the reconstruction error is not a good metric to assess the quality of features, because it is biased by the decoder quality. We do not question the usefulness of pre-training, but we conclude that aiming for the lowest reconstruction error is not necessarily a good idea if afterwards one performs a classification task.

description: We determined the orbits and stellar parameters of three eccentric eclipsing binaries by light curve solutions of their Kepler data. KIC 8111622 and KIC 10518735 undergo total eclipses while KIC 8196180 reveals partial eclipses. The target components are G and K stars, excluding the primary of KIC 8196180 which is early F star. KIC 8196180 reveals well-visible tidally-induced feature at periastron, i.e. it is an eclipsing heartbeat star. The characteristics of the observed periastron feature (shape, width and amplitude) confirm the theoretical predictions. There are additional out-of-eclipse variations of KIC 8196180 with the orbital period which may be explained by spot activity of synchronously rotating component. Besides worse visible periastron feature KIC 811162 exhibits small amplitude light variations whose period is around 2.3 times shorter than the orbital one. These oscillations were attributed to spot(s) on asynchronously rotating component.

description: A clinical trial is a study conducted on a group of patients to evaluate a new treatment procedure. Usually, clinicians manually select patients for a clinical trial; the choice of eligible patients is a labor-intensive process, and clinicians are often unable to identify sufficient number of patients, which delays the evaluation of new treatments. We have developed a Web-based system that helps clinicians to determine the eligibility of patients for multiple clinical trials. It uses probabilistic techniques that minimize the amount of manual data entry, by ordering the related data-entry steps. We describe the developed system and give the results of applying it to retrospective data of breast cancer patients at the Moffitt Cancer Center.

description: The TESS spacecraft detected transits of the G star HD 97260 (TOI-682), implying the presence of a planet with a radius of 3.49 Re and an orbital period of 6.84 days. We confirm the planet using radial velocities from the Planet Finder Spectrograph and measure its mass to be 12.3 Me. A second radial-velocity signal with a period of 16.1 days corresponds to a non-transiting planet with a minimum mass of 9.6 Me. We explore the dynamical interaction between the planets, which display significant non-zero eccentricities, and discuss the prospects for future characterization. In particular, TOI-682 b has an equilibrium temperature of 950 K, where relatively few atmospheres of Neptune-sized planets have been characterized. The transit depth (1300 ppm), modest density (1.58 g/cm^3), and brightness of the host star (V=10.0; H=8.2) should lead to high-S/N transmission spectroscopy.

description: Current methods for designing cyber-physical systems lack a unifying framework due to the heterogeneous nature of the constituent models and their respective analysis and verification tools. There is a need for a formal representation of the relationships between the different models. Our approach is to define these relationships at the architectural level, associating with each model a particular view of the overall system base architecture. This architectural framework captures critical structural and semantic information without including all the details of the various modeling formalisms. This paper introduces the use of logical constraints over parameters in the architectural views to represent the conditions under which the specifications verified for each model are true and imply the system-level specification. Interdependencies and connections between the constraints in the architectural views are managed in the base architecture using first-order logic of real arithmetic to ensure consistency and correct reasoning. The approach is illustrated in the context of heterogeneous verification of a leader-follower vehicle scenario.

description: Mediation analysis seeks to infer how much of the effect of an exposure on an outcome can be attributed to specific pathways via intermediate variables or mediators. This requires identification of so-called path-specific effects. These express how a change in exposure affects those intermediate variables (along certain pathways), and how the resulting changes in those variables in turn affect the outcome (along subsequent pathways). However, unlike identification of total effects, adjustment for confounding is insufficient for identification of path-specific effects because their magnitude is also determined by the extent to which individuals who experience large exposure effects on the mediator, tend to experience relatively small or large mediator effects on the outcome. This chapter therefore provides an accessible review of identification strategies under general nonparametric structural equation models (with possibly unmeasured variables), which rule out certain such dependencies. In particular, it is shown which path-specific effects can be identified under such models, and how this can be done.

description: We implemented a code to decipher stellar surface information from Kepler/TESS light curves specified by many stellar/spot parameters with a parallel tempering (Ikuta et al. 2020) because it has been suggested that there are many spots on the surface. The code enables to deduce parameters, such as the spot location, size, emergence/decay rates, and the stellar differential rotation, and to calculate the model evidence in the Bayesian framework. We show degeneracies between all the parameters and the comparison of the number of spots by revisiting synthetic light curves emulating Kepler/TESS data. Then, we applied the code to TESS light curves of M-dwarf flare stars, AU Mic, EV Lac, and YZ CMi (Ikuta et al. 2021, to be submitted). As results, the spot location and size are uniquely deduced and almost consistent with those in other studies; the spot location is suggested to be uncorrelated with flares in the light curve; the variation of the light curve structure for AU Mic and YZ CMi in two TESS Cycles can be explained by the stellar differential rotation or spot emergence/decay. We also verify the validity of starspot mapping and propose other approaches to resolve the conundrum.
Distributed Adaptive Attitude Synchronization of Multiple Spacecraft

description: This paper addresses the distributed attitude synchronization problem of multiple spacecraft with unknown inertia matrices. Two distributed adaptive controllers are proposed for the cases with and without a virtual leader to which a time-varying reference attitude is assigned. The first controller achieves attitude synchronization for a group of spacecraft with a leaderless communication topology having a directed spanning tree. The second controller guarantees that all spacecraft track the reference attitude if the virtual leader has a directed path to all other spacecraft. Simulation examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.

description: There have been numerous breakthroughs with reinforcement learning in the recent years, perhaps most notably on Deep Reinforcement Learning successfully playing and winning relatively advanced computer games. There is undoubtedly an anticipation that Deep Reinforcement Learning will play a major role when the first AI masters the complicated game plays needed to beat a professional Real-Time Strategy game player. For this to be possible, there needs to be a game environment that targets and fosters AI research, and specifically Deep Reinforcement Learning. Some game environments already exist, however, these are either overly simplistic such as Atari 2600 or complex such as Starcraft II from Blizzard Entertainment. We propose a game environment in between Atari 2600 and Starcraft II, particularly targeting Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithm research. The environment is a variant of Tower Line Wars from Warcraft III, Blizzard Entertainment. Further, as a proof of concept that the environment can harbor Deep Reinforcement algorithms, we propose and apply a Deep Q-Reinforcement architecture. The architecture simplifies the state space so that it is applicable to Q-learning, and in turn improves performance compared to current state-of-the-art methods. Our experiments show that the proposed architecture can learn to play the environment well, and score 33% better than standard Deep Q-learning which in turn proves the usefulness of the game environment.

description: Accomplishing the exoplanet science enabled by TESS requires follow-up of many transiting planet candidates throughout the entire sky, to identify false positives (FPs) and confirm real planets. An efficient follow-up requires a global facility and a large amount of telescope time. This Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) Key Project is designed to do just that, with about 2,500 hours of telescope time per semester for 6 semesters, 2020B - 2023A. LCO telescopes are fully automated, including 10 x 0.4m, 11 x 1.0m, and 2 x 2.0m telescopes in 7 sites. We are using all LCO telescopes, equipped with imagers, and we also have time on the high resolution NRES spectrographs, installed in 4 sites. Imagers are used to observe the TESS candidates during transit and check if the transit signal seen in TESS data originates from the target or from a nearby star blended with the target in the TESS wide pixels and wide PSF. The NRES spectrographs are used for measuring the stellar parameters of bright TESS candidate host stars down to 10th magnitude, identifying obvious FPs (SB1, SB2), and measuring the orbits of massive planets. This Key Project is part of most TESS planet discoveries. We present our methodologies and some of our discoveries.

description: Formal modeling can be used as an effective technique to improve the quality and reliability of software-intensive systems in general, and medical devices in particular. However, for formal modeling to be accessible to practicing engineers and domain specialists, suitable educational materials need to be developed. We report on the development of educational materials designed to give students the necessary experience to infuse formal modeling into practice. A core component of this effort is a set of modeling tasks drawn from the medical device domain.

description: An increasingly important requirement for complex systems is the capability to adapt at runtime in order to accommodate variable resources, system errors, and changing requirements. An essential aspect of adaptation is the ability to observe a system’s runtime behavior and interpret those observations in terms that permit a high-level understanding of the system’s status. In this paper we describe mechanisms for monitoring a running system, interpreting monitored data in terms of the system’s architecture, and analyzing the system architecture to ascertain if the system’s runtime behavior fits within the envelope of acceptable behavior. We illustrate the use of these mechanisms for the important special case of system performance monitoring.
