Slides for Webinar: Vehicles for Power Systems
Electric vehicles (EVs) are getting more popular and this means that conventional internal combustion vehicles will be replaced by EVs soon. While EVs can bring various benefits in different aspects (such as higher efficiency, less urban air pollution, etc.), exploiting a huge number of EVs without preparing a proper infrastructure would lead to different undesirable consequences. The challenges and consequences include, but not limited to the followings:
• Power system reliability problems
• Serious problems in power generation and meeting electricity power demand
• Charging infrastructure
To cope with these problems, different solutions have been suggested. In this presentation, the challenges and some of the main solutions will be discussed. After the webinar, you will find the answer of the following questions:
• What are the main challenges of EVs penetration?
• What are the main EVs charging challenges and the possible solutions?
• How to place charging stations optimally considering both electrical and traffic considerations?
• How to use EVs to perform a flexible demand response program?
• How to enhance power system reliability using EV?
• How the existence of EVs can effect traffic?

description: Although people have the ability to engage in vapid dialogue without effort, this may not be a uniquely human trait. Since the 1960's researchers have been trying to create agents that can generate artificial conversation. These programs are commonly known as chatbots. With increasing use of neural networks for dialog generation, some conclude that this goal has been achieved. This research joins the quest by creating a dialog generating Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and by enhancing the ability of this network with auxiliary loss functions and a beam search. Our custom loss functions achieve better cohesion and coherence by including calculations of Maximum Mutual Information (MMI) and entropy. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this system by using a set of custom evaluation metrics inspired by an abundance of previous research and based on tried-and-true principles of Natural Language Processing.

description: We construct a new solution of five-dimensional gravity coupled to a dilaton which encodes essential features of holographic QCD backgrounds dynamically. In particular, it implements linear confinement, i.e. the area law behavior of the Wilson loop, by means of a dynamically deformed anti-de Sitter metric. The predicted square masses of the light-flavored natural-parity mesons and their excitations lie on linear trajectories of approximately universal slope with respect to both radial and spin quantum numbers and are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.

Slides for Webinar: Distribution with Satellite Telemetry
Smart Grid brought great benefits to the electric energy segment by monitoring smart meters and protection devices, making electrical distribution more reliable, and improving the quality of the service provided. The problem is that not all points, that needed to be monitored, have achieved highly reliable and available monitoring coverage.
Initially, radio was used as a communication technology. Later, other technologies were added, such as optical fiber and cellular. Over time, these technologies started to present significant problems, like saturation, high installation costs, and operation, frequent maintenance, in addition to starting to fail at critical moments or did not reach a high degree of availability, mainly outside the urban region.
The deployment of satellite telemetry terminals directly in the field equipment to be monitored and the use of M2M (Machine-to-Machine) networks with L-band, has emerged as a low-cost alternative, improving the reliability and availability of communication channels with Distribution Operation Centers, in regions without coverage or bad coverage, reaching a high percentage of availability of the communication channel.
This presentation highlights the successful case of using the telemetry satellite terminal in electricity distributors in Brazil and Latin America, after 5 years of using the solution.
title: Nest Location and Nest Recognition in Two Solitary Bee Species Osmia lignaria Say and Megachile rotundata (F.) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae)
Creators: name: Guédot, Christelle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2004

description: The visual and olfactory cues used in short-range orientation, specifically nest location and nest recognition, were studied in two solitary bee species Osmia lignaria Say and Megachile rotundata (F.) Osmia lignaria, the blue orchard bee, is an important pollinator of orchard crops, such as apples, cherries, and almonds; and M. rotundata, the alfalfa leafcutting bee, is used in commercial pollination of alfalfa. The general objective was to better understand how these two species locate their nests and how improving nest location could benefit crop pollination.
The use of proximal visual landmarks at the nesting site was investigated with M. rotundata, and revealed that females rely more on vertical landmarks than on horizontal landmarks for nest location. Osmia lignaria and M. rotundata were also shown to use 3-dimensional patterns as well as color contrast patterns for nest location. Changing the depth of the 3-dimensional pattern and the color contrast brightness affected nest location ability of both species. Applying these results to commercial situations with M. rotundata showed that providing 3-dimensional patterns to commercial nesting boards, either by separating the boards or by designing 3D boards, allowed M. rotundata females to improve their nest location. The 3D board also decreased the incidence of chalkbrood-related mortality, caused by the fungus Ascosphaera aggregata. Finally, in-nest observations showed O. lignaria females marking their entire nest with abdominal secretions. These secretions provided olfactory cues that O. lignaria females use for individual nest recognition. A chemical analysis of the nest markings revealed the presence of free fatty acids, long chain hydrocarbons, and wax esters.
These results have implications for commercial bee management practices, where visual and olfactory cues can be manipulated. Improving the nest location performance of M. rotundata and O. lignaria females would decrease nest location time, thus having important consequences on pollination efficiency and brood production of both species.

description: The Indian Control of Indian Education (ICIE) (1972) policy document was, andcontinues to be, evidence of the power of Aboriginal peoples in Canada working togetherto speak up against government assimilationist policies. The voices in this article rep­resent four generations of Indigenous scholars who were either involved in creating orhave been influenced by ICIE. The federal government's proposed Bill on First NationEducation is also critiqued in relation to the principles of ICIE. The article shares lessonslearned about ICIE, reflections on power and knowledge, and visions for reciprocalrelationships that truly embody the ICIE values articulated over 40 years ago. Theprinciples about local control; parental engagement; Indigenous knowledge, culture,and language; Indigenous teachers; and better prepared non-Indigenous teachers arestill as relevant and important as they were 40 years ago. The challenge remains to putthese principles into everyday educational practice now and for the next 40 years.

Charakterisierung der biologischen Aktivität eines neu synthetisierten Triazols (MGtr2.HCl) an isolierten Organen von Cavia porcellus
Creators: name: Grote, Stefan Marcel
Year: 2015

description: Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sollte das potentiell spasmolytisch wirkende Triazol MGtr2
hinsichtlich der Wirksamkeit als auch der unerwünschten Nebenwirkungen erforscht werden
mit dem Bestreben eine gewebsselektive Wirkung nachweisen zu können.
Neben glattmuskulären Präparaten des Ileum terminale, an denen der spasmolytische Einfluss
dargestellt werden sollte, wurden die präparierten Organe Arteria pulmonalis und Aorta
descendens für die Veranschaulichung unspezifisch vasodilatierender Effekte verwendet. Das
Atrium cordis dextrum und der Musculus papillaris dienten der Registrierung ungewollter
chrono- und inotroper Nebeneffekte.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit konnte gezeigt werden, dass MGtr2 einen deutlichen
spasmolytischen Effekt an den Segmenten des Ileum terminale ausübte. Die
Ausgangskontraktion der Präparate wurde bereits durch eine Konzentration von 10 μmol/l um
12,55 ± 0,60 % vermindert, 100 μmol/l führten zu einer Regression von 74,95 ± 5,70 %. Dies
entsprach einer EC50 von 29 μmol/l. Der Effekt resulierte nicht aus einer Involvierung des
Enzyms eNOS. Jedoch wiesen auch die Abschnitte der Arteria pulmonalis eine signifikante
Affinität gegenüber dem Triazol auf, die durch eine Verringerung der Kontraktion von
60,85 ± 3,87 % und eine EC50 von 59,5 μmol/l verdeutlicht wurde. An den glattmuskulären
Organpräparaten der Aorta descendens war der vasodilatierende Einfluss wesentlich geringer
ausgeprägt (- 33,29 ± 4,98 %).
Die Kontraktilität der Papillarmuskeln wurde durch das Triazol nicht maßgeblich
determiniert. Eine Abnahme der Kontraktionskraft von lediglich 1,21 ± 9,89 % wurde erfasst.
An den Präparaten des Atrium cordis dextrum hingegen wurden stark negativ chronotrope
Effekte beobachtet. Bei Erlangen einer Konzentration von 100 μmol/l folgte der sofortige
Herzstillstand. Damit lag keine weitere Kontraktionsfähigkeit vor.
Diese Daten demonstrieren, dass MGtr2 keine selektive Spasmolyse hervorruft und für den
Gebrauch ungeeignet zu sein scheint. Trotz des signifikanten Effektes am Ileum terminale
werden auch die Organe Arteria pulmonalis und Aorta descendens vasodilatierend beeinflusst
und das Atrium cordis dextrum repressiv innerviert. Neben der Spasmolyse bedeuten diese
Effekte möglicherweise Blutdruckabnahme und Herzstillstand.

Frauen in Gewerkschaften

description: Die Bundesfrauenabteilung des Österreichischen Gewerkschaftsbundes ist Analysegegenstand dieser Abschlussarbeit. Die Funktionsweise im Sinne der realen Verhältnisse innerhalb der Abteilung und die aufgestellten Rahmenbedingungen, wie die Statuten und Geschäftsordnungen stehen im Fokus der Forschung. Diese zwei Bereiche, reale Verhältnisse und Statuten bzw. Geschäftsordnung werden aus einer organisationssoziologischen Perspektive betrachtet und miteinander verglichen. Erfahrungsberichte und persönliche Einschätzungen, sowie Wahrnehmungen aus der Bundesfrauenabteilung sollen in Form eines Interviews gesammelt werden und als weitere Grundlage zur Ergebnisfindung beitragen.
Das durchgeführte Interview hat die aufgestellten Hypothesen zum Teil bestätigt oder lässt eine Vermutung diesbezüglich zu. Aus dem Gespräch konnte in Erfahrung gebracht werden, dass die vorhandenen Kanäle innerhalb der Gewerkschaftsstruktur an sich funktionieren. Es fehlt allerdings viel mehr eine höhere weibliche Partizipation an der Gewerkschaftsarbeit. Frauen werden dringend als Funktionärinnen benötigt, um aus dem System heraus für eine Gleichstellung der Geschlechter zu sorgen. Hinzu kommt, dass innerhalb der Gewerkschaft, laut Interviewpartnerin, die männlichen Kollegen die weiblichen Initiativen weder aktiv unterstützen noch ernst nehmen.
Die Gewerkschaft tritt zum einen als korporativer Akteur auf, welcher letztendlich durch das Verhalten der individuellen Akteure, zur Produktion und Reproduktion der Geschlechterverhältnisse beiträgt. Dieser Kreislauf von Eingang in die Gewerkschaft bis zum Ausgang der Organisation muss letztendlich von allen Beteiligten wahrgenommen werden. Die persönliche Sozialisation fungiert hier als Schlüsselrolle, um zu einer Unterbrechung dieses Kreislaufes zu sorgen. Die Unterbrechung muss innerhalb der Organisation stattfinden, damit diese als neue Produktionsstätte von Geschlechterverhältnissen aktiv werden und auf die Geschlechterverhältnisse in der Gesellschaft Einfluss nehmen kann.

description: This research considers the value of informal bicycle motocross (BMX), trails as Do-it-yourself (DIY) Urbanism planning and place-making interventions. The goal is to illustrate how and why planners and decision-makers should rethink diverse uses of space to make it easier for the creation and formalization of DIY, community-led interventions. The report narrates the founding of the 9th Street BMX Trails in Austin, Texas, which has persisted as an informal, active space near the city’s central business district for over 20 years. It presents the efforts of a few citizen DIY planners not only to have the space formalized and protected for future generations, but also to share the 9th Street BMX model with other Central Texas cities. In addition to 9th Street, this report presents a case study in Denver, Colorado, where dirt BMX trails have been legitimized under the city’s Parks Department while still maintaining the spirit of DIY.

description: It is shown that on a finite phase plane the $kq$-coordinates and the sites of a von Neumann lattice are conjugate to one another. This elementary result holds when the number $M$ defining the size of the phase plane can be expressed as a product, $M=M_{1}M_{2}$, with $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ being relatively prime. As a consequence of this result a hitherto unknown wave function is defined giving the probability of simultaneously measuring the momentum and coordinate on the von Neumann lattice.

title: The "Starvation Effect" and Tryptophan Pyrrolase Activity in the Vermilion Mutant of Drosophila
Creators: name: Shelton, Ernest E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: The enzyme tryptophan pyrrolase is controlled by the vermilion locus in Drosophila melanogaster and is normally lacking in the vermilion mutants. During this investigation it has been demonstrated that v1;bw flies have tryptophan pyrrolase activity when grown under near starvation conditions.
During development of the fly there is a peak of enzyme activity in the early third instar soon after the transfer to starvation medium. A second peak of enzyme activity occurs during the pupal stage. The activity in v1;bw pupae is about 15% of the activity found in cn bw adults.
In v1;bw pupae grown on standard medium there is· a small but detectable amount of tryptophan pyrrolase activity which probably accounts for the slight pigmentation normally observed in these flies.
It was shown that prolongation of development by low temperature or by choline deficient medium cannot account for the increase in pigmentation observed under starvation conditions.
The possibility that one group of the vermilion mutants is involved in the control of tryptophan pyrrolase is discussed.

title: Factors Relating to Diapause in the Alfalfa Weevil Parasite Bathyplectes curculionis (Thomson)
Creators: name: Parrish, David S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Biological and ecological factors regulating diapause in the ichneumonid parasite of the alfalfa weevil, Bathyplectes curculionis (Thomson), were studied. In most experiments, both parasites and weevil larvae were maintained in the environmental conditions under study from the emergence of the adult parasite until the evaluation of results.
The factors either preventing or inducing diapause in B. curculionis were found to be an interaction of environmental factors. A long scotophase with cool temperatures prevented diapause. The percentage of nondiapausing parasites increased as the scotophase was increased to 15 hours. Over 15 hours of scotophase, fewer nondiapausing parasites were produced. The optimum temperature during scotophase was 7.2° C for maximum nondiapausing. The temperature during the nine-hour photophase had to be raised. The greatest percentage of nondiapausing individuals occurred when the temperature was raised to 25.0° C. No effects of relative humidity were observed between 50-80 percent. Relative humidity held at near saturation produced high mortality, while below 20 percent increased the amount of diapause to over 58 percent. A 15-hour scotophase at 7.2° C, a nine-hour photophase at 25.0° C, and relative humidity between 50-80 percent, consistently more than 95 percent of the parasites did not enter diapause. At either a long photophase or failure to alternate temperatures, essentially 100 percent diapaused.
Continuous photophase or continuous scotophase, either with or without alternating the temperature cycle, produced 100 percent diapause.
Part, but not all, of the regulation of diapause was determined by the effects of the photoperiod plus temperature cycle on the adult parasite just prior to oviposition. The percentage of diapause in the offspring increased markedly when the adults were transferred directly from a diapausing regime, when compared to those undergoing a five-day period with ideal conditions prior to oviposition. In both cases oviposition was under the best temperature-light cycle.
No relationship to diapause was observed between offspring from diapausing and nondiapausing parents. No study was made related to parasites from different geographical areas.
The incidence of diapause did not vary based on the instar of the host. The results were conclusive with the first three instars, but not with the fourth, due to low acceptance by the parasite.
The tendency to produce diapausing offspring increased as the female parent grew older. The number of eggs produced in a given period of time decreased markedly after the first 10 days. Very little oviposition occurred after 15 days, although some individuals survived for more than 20 days. Female parasites which were not exposed to weevil larvae lived longer than ovipositioning females.
Temperatures in excess of 30.0° C for longer than 36 hours produced mortality in both diapausing and nondiapausing Bathyplectes larvae within cocoons.
Stability, Transition and Turbulence in Quasi-Two-Dimensional MHD Duct Flows

subject: 91501 Computational Fluid Dynamics

description: This thesis investigates the conditions necessary to generate and sustain turbulence in quasi-two-dimensional shear flows. Intense rotation, strong magnetic fields, and small aspect ratios can both suppress turbulence, and lead to flows which are practically two-dimensional. These features can be present in many engineering applications, and designing devices which efficiently pump fluid or extract heat requires understanding if, when and how turbulence will develop in these duct flows. While many of the distinctive features of three-dimensional turbulence are exhibited by their quasi-two-dimensional counterpart, this thesis shows that the routes to turbulence distinctly differ.

description: This thesis deals with the concept of infanticide. Concerning this theme an investigation and comparison will be carried out between Heinrich Leopold Wagner’s bourgeois tragedy “Die Kindermörderin” (1776) and Helga Stipa Madland’s adaptation “Die Kindsmörderin” (2008). After an introductory passage into the subject matter of child murder in German literature and its consequences a comparison between both works will follow. Firstly an analysis of Wagner’s drama, following a subsequent evaluation of Madland’s novel.  This will focus on the authors’ biographies whilst defining the eras in question. The content of said works together with the structure will be portrayed with a focus on individuals, social critics and intertextuality, which is one of the central points in Madland’s works. To conclude a comparative analysis will be carried out, whereby the similarities and differences of both works will be highlighted.

description: A deuteron magnetic resonance study of water has been carried out in the lamellar phase of the egg yolk lecithin-water and outer membrane of E. Coli-water systems in excess water (abbreviated to EYL/EXCD₂O and EC/EXCD₂0, respectively) and egg yolk lecithin-water in 22% (by weight) water (EYL/22%WD₂0). Spectra of these systems were taken as a function of temperature, and their moments were calculated. Analysis of the integrated signal intensities revealed that the excess free (bulk) water in the EC/EXCD₂0 and EYL/EXCD₂O froze at -1°C and -2°C, respectively (pure D₂0 freezes at 4°C). The water from bilayers in the two excess water systems was frozen immediately after it was squeezed out, whereas the water squeezed out from bilayers in the EYL/22%WD₂0 remained unfrozen down to -10°C. All the squeezed out water in the EYL/22%WD₂0was frozen at -15°C. The bound water in that system was unfreezable in the region under study. The amount of water frozen out in the EYL/EXCD₂O at -2°C and in the EYL/EXCD₂O at -3°C was found to be approximately 85% of the total water content of the systems. The water frozen out in the EYL/22%WD₂0 at -15°C was determined to be 50% of the total water in that-;system. A minimum in the second moment vs temperature of the EYL/22%WD₂0 was observed and ascribed to the presence of isotropic free water squeezed out from the bilayers. Proton magnetic resonance results showed that there was no lipid phase transition in the EYL/22%WD₂0 in the region from -10°C to 48°C.

description: Next-generation high-energy-density batteries require ideally stable metal anodes, for which smooth metal deposits during battery recharging are considered a sign of interfacial stability that can ensure high efficiency and long cycle life. With the recent successes, whether the absolute morphological stability guarantees absolute electrochemical stability and safety emerges as a critical question to be investigated in systematic experiments under practical conditions. Here, we use the ideally stable ingot-type sodium metal anode as a model system to identify the fast-charging limits, i.e. highest safe current density, of metal anodes. Our results show that metal penetration can still occur at relatively low current densities, but the overpotentials at the penetration depend on the pore sizes of the separators and surprisingly follow a simple mathematical model we developed as the Young-Laplace overpotential. Our study suggests that the success of stable metal batteries with even the ideally smooth metal anode requires the holistic design of the electrolyte, separator, and metal anodes to ensure the penetration-free operation.

Zur gesundheitsförderlichen Wirkung privater Gärten
Creators: name: Schwab, Markus
Year: 2015

description: The evidence for beneficial effects of green space on human health and well-being is growing. To make full use of the potential of green space for health promotion, information on how and for who these effects occur is needed.  This study investigates how private gardens foster health and well-being in a sample of (n = 676) Austrian gardeners. As expected a relationship between perceived restorativeness and perceived health was found. This relationship, however, only reached statistical significance in females. Concerning the predictors of the perceived restorativeness and perceived health differences between men and women were found. Further, an indirect effect (through social contacts and the perceived restorative potential) of the frequency of garden visits was found. Results also suggest that the relationship between the perceived restorative potential of a private garden and the frequency of visits should not only be accounted to characteristics of the garden, but to the connectedness with the garden. The analysis of the PRS revealed that a modified version of the PRS shows the desirable four-factor structure. Summing up findings, private gardens should be considered as a potential resource for health promotion. Besides the appearance of the garden the connectedness should be considered as a mechanism of work when planning future research and interventions.

Um die Potentiale, welche die Grünraumgestaltung für die Gesundheitsförderung bietet voll ausschöpfen zu können, ist ein detailliertes Wissen darüber nötig wie und für wen Grünräume wirken. Diese Arbeit untersucht an einer österreichischen Stichprobe (n = 676) wie private Gärten auf die Gesundheit ihrer NutzerInnen wirken. Erwartungsgemäß wurde ein Zusammenhang zwischen dem wahrgenommenen Erholungspotential und der wahrgenommenen Gesundheit gefunden. Signifikant war dieser Zusammenhang jedoch nur bei Frauen. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass sich Männer und Frauen hinsichtlich der Prädiktoren des Erholungspotentials, sowie der wahrgenommenen Gesundheit unterscheiden. Weiters wurden, durch das Erholungspotential und Sozialkontakte vermittelte, indirekte Effekte der Besuchshäufigkeit auf die wahrgenommene Gesundheit gefunden. Die Untersuchung der PRS zeigte, dass ein Modell mit vier obliquen Faktoren eine akzeptable Anpassung an die Daten aufwies, nachdem es modifiziert wurde. Insgesamt sprechen die Ergebnisse für den Garten als potentielle Gesundheitsressource. Neben der Gestaltung sollte der Aspekt der emotionalen Verbundenheit mit dem Garten zukünftig bei der Planung von Studien  zur Gesundheits- und Erholungswirkung und bei Interventionen berücksichtigt werden
Bahnung der Aufmerksamkeit auf Farben durch relevante und irrelevante Wortprimes
Creators: name: Naderer, Lukas
Year: 2016

description: The present study adresses the question of the influence of stimulus-driven processes and goals of the observer on the allocation of attention, especially expanding on the role of priming. Based on a paper which showed automatic priming of attentional control for relevant colors by previously presented color-words (U. Ansorge, & S. Becker, 2012), it has been investigated whether irrelevant colors are also underlying such (automatic) priming, or whether this kind of facilitation is (strategically) restricted to relevant colors. Therefor, an experimental „cueing“-paradigm was used, in which congruent and incongruent color-words indicated the color of the upcoming target with absolute certainty. It showed, that in incongruent trials, primed colors captured attention to the same extend as unprimed colors, in contrast to automatic priming by the color-words. The results indicate that (at least in incongruent trials) participants did not use the color-words to establish an attentional control set (ACS) for the searched-for target-color and that this incongruent information was successfully ignored.
description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, welchen Einfluss reizgetriebene Prozesse und Ziele des Beobachters auf die Lenkung der Aufmerksamkeit haben, wobei vor allem auf die Rolle von Bahnungseffekten eingegangen wird. Basierend auf einer Studie, die die automatische Bahnung von attentionaler Kontrolle für relevante Farben durch zuvor präsentierte Farbwörter zeigt (U. Ansorge, & S. Becker, 2012), wurde untersucht, ob auch irrelevante Farben solchen (automatischen) Bahnungseffekten unterliegen, oder ob diese Erleichterung (strategisch) auf relevante Farben begrenzt ist. Dazu wurde ein experimentelles „Cueing“-Paradigma verwendet, in welchem kongruente und inkongruente Farbwörter mit absoluter Sicherheit auf die nachfolgende Zielreizfarbe hinwiesen. Es zeigte sich, dass in inkongruenten Durchgängen gebahnte Farben in gleichem Ausmaß die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich lenkten wie ungebahnte Farben, was gegen eine automatische Bahnung durch die Farbwörter spricht. Die Ergebnisse sprechen dafür, dass die Teilnehmer (zumindest in inkongruenten Durchgängen) die Farbwörter nicht zur Etablierung eines attentionalen Kontrollsets für die aktuelle gesuchte Farbe verwendet haben und diese inkongruenten Informationen erfolgreich ignoriert werden konnten.

description: A circle pattern is a configuration of circles in the plane whose combinatorics is given by a planar graph G such that to each vertex of G corresponds a circle. If two vertices are connected by an edge in G, the corresponding circles intersect with an intersection angle in $(0,π)$. Two sequences of circle patterns are employed to approximate a given conformal map $g$ and its first derivative. For the domain of $g$ we use embedded circle patterns where all circles have the same radius decreasing to 0 and which have uniformly bounded intersection angles. The image circle patterns have the same combinatorics and intersection angles and are determined from boundary conditions (radii or angles) according to the values of $g'$ ($|g'|$ or $\arg g'$). For quasicrystallic circle patterns the convergence result is strengthened to $C^\infty$-convergence on compact subsets.

Fluctuation bounds for ergodic averages of amenable groups

description: We study fluctuations of ergodic averages generated by actions of amenable groups. In the setting of an abstract ergodic theorem for locally compact second countable amenable groups acting on uniformly convex Banach spaces, we deduce a highly uniform bound on the number of fluctuations of the ergodic average for a class of Følner sequences satisfying an analogue of Lindenstrauss's temperedness condition. Equivalently, we deduce a uniform bound on the number of fluctuations over long distances for arbitrary Følner sequences. As a corollary, these results imply associated bounds for a continuous action of an amenable group on a $σ$-finite $L^{p}$ space with $p\in(1,\infty)$.

Mach Number Dependence of Ion-scale Kinetic Instability at Collisionless Perpendicular Shock: Condition for Weibel-dominated Shock

description: We investigate ion-scale kinetic plasma instabilities at the collisionless shock using linear theory and nonlinear Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations. We focus on the Alfvén-ion-cyclotron (AIC), mirror, and Weibel instabilities, which are all driven unstable by the effective temperature anisotropy induced by the shock-reflected ions within the transition layer of a strictly perpendicular shock. We conduct linear dispersion analysis with a homogeneous plasma model to mimic the shock transition layer by adopting a ring distribution with finite thermal spread to represent the velocity distribution of the reflected ions. We find that, for wave propagation parallel to the ambient magnetic field, the AIC instability at lower Alfvén Mach numbers tends to transition to the Weibel instability at higher Alfvén Mach numbers. The instability property is, however, also strongly affected by the sound Mach number. We conclude that the instability at a strong shock with Alfvén and sound Mach numbers both in excess of $\sim 20{\rm -}40$ may be considered as Weibel-like in the sense that the reflected ions behave essentially unmagnetized. Two-dimensional PIC simulations confirm the linear theory and find that, with typical parameters of young supernova remnant shocks, the ring distribution model produces magnetic fluctuations of the order of the background magnetic field, which is smaller than those observed in previous PIC simulations for Weibel-dominated shocks. This indicates that the assumption of the gyrotropic reflected ion distribution may not be adequate to quantitatively predict nonlinear behaviors of the dynamics in high Mach number shocks.

SSCS Webinar Slides
Abstract -Congratulations! Your chip finally works and now you want to write a paper about it. Now you wonder: “Where to start? What will be my title? Shall I put a lot of measured numbers in the title, or make it fancy marketing style? What should the introduction be about? What should I present as measurements? Which numbers are important to show? How to compare to state of art?” These are questions that arise when writing your paper. And when finally done, it comes back with a lot of reviewer’s comments. Some are mild while some may trash your hard work below ground level. How to deal with that? How can you smoothly bend the critics to something positive in your paper? And if the reviewer did not understand what you actually meant to say, what can you do to fix this? How to understand the viewpoints of the reviewers? This lecture is about the Do’s and Don’ts of writing a paper with focus on the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society’s publications. Also, there will be room for questions & discussions.

A comparison of threshold and supratheshold measurement of temporal integration in normal and cochlea-impaired ears
Creators: name: Smith, Faye Evelyn

Year: 2011

description: The present study was undertaken in order to investigate temporal integration at threshold and suprathreshold levels in normal-hearing and cochlea-impaired subjects, and also to examine the effect of frequency on the amount of integration for each group. Thresholds for 500-and 20-msec tone pulses were established in a Bekesy tracking procedure by 20 subjects with normal hearing acuity and 20 subjects with noise-induced hearing loss. The amount of threshold shift between the long-and short-duration tones, or temporal integration, was examined as a function of subject group and signal frequency (500 Hz and 4000 Hz) both in quiet and in the presence of a white noise masker. Results of this study showed that the two groups could be differentiated by the mean threshold shift between the two tone durations, although overlap between groups was marked. The amount of integration observed for the group with normal hearing was frequency-dependent in both quiet and masked conditions The group of subjects with cochlear impairment exhibited normal integration values at 500 Hz, where no hearing loss was present and significantly smaller than normal values at 4000 Hz, where they demonstrated cochlear pathology. The masker altered the amount of temporal integration of the hearing-impaired group at both signal frequencies, while the normal subjects were unaffected by the presence of the masker at 4000 Hz. Critical ratios which were calculated from the masked thresholds showed larger values for the hearing-impaired group than the normal-hearing group. The present results support the use of brief-tone audiometry in the clinical assessment of cochlear impairment. However, the group overlap in performance which was demonstrated in this study indicates that an individual's performance using this assessment must be interpreted cautiously. That is, a subject cannot be reliably assigned to either group in this experiment when the amount of integration falls within the region of overlap.
