description: The Instance Segmentation task, an extension of the well-known Object Detection task, is of great help in many areas, such as precision agriculture: being able to automatically identify plant organs and the possible diseases associated with them, allows to effectively scale and automate crop monitoring and its diseases control. To address the problem related to early disease detection and diagnosis on vines plants, a new dataset has been created with the goal of advancing the state-of-the-art of diseases recognition via instance segmentation approaches. This was achieved by gathering images of leaves and clusters of grapes affected by diseases in their natural context. The dataset contains photos of 10 object types which include leaves and grapes with and without symptoms of the eight more common grape diseases, with a total of 17,706 labeled instances in 1,092 images. Multiple statistical measures are proposed in order to offer a complete view on the characteristics of the dataset. Preliminary results for the object detection and instance segmentation tasks reached by the models Mask R-CNN and R^3-CNN are provided as baseline, demonstrating that the procedure is able to reach promising results about the objective of automatic diseases' symptoms recognition.

description: For a watershed of 200 km\302\262 in south-western Germany, an integrated planning approach for retrofitting the sewer systems of ten communities was developed. The planning objective was to optimize the water quantity and quality of the receiving waters by minimizing the restoration costs for the communities. Seven different indicators (flooding, hydraulic stress, Nitrate load, Phosphorus load, COD load, BOD load and the costs expressed as monetary values) were defined and six different retrofitting scenarios were set up. The results were compared by multi-criteria analysis to determine the optimised solution for the entire watershed. To do this, three different software models were coupled and a 30 year long simulation was computed. To summarize the results, it can be said that source control measures, like swale and trench systems, have a stronger and more positive impact on the receiving waters than the conventional measures. However, the optimised solution for a wide range of problems arising in a watershed will be several measures tailored to site. This research work outlines the necessity and importance of an integrated watershed-based planning approach and highlights the structure and needs to carry out such complex planning approaches.
Dyadic Student-Teacher Relationship: Giving a Voice to Students with EBD

description: With the proper support from parents and teachers, most students make appropriate adjustments; however, this is not the case for many students with special needs, particularly those with emotional/behavioral disability (EBD). Students with EBD have difficulty adjusting emotionally and socially, which often harms them academically. About 1% of school-age children receive services for EBD (Forness et al., 2012; Maggin et al., 2016). Many students who have EBD receive low academic grades, display poor social skills, and experience high rates of suspensions compared with students in other disability categories and peers without disabilities (Bradley et al., 2004; Maggin et al., 2016). Data from a longitudinal study reported that one-third of students with EBD who completed high school did not receive a regular diploma but rather a certificate of completion, general education development (GED), or another nonstandard school-leaving document (Wagner & Newman, 2012). Student-teacher relationships can provide students with greater knowledge about themselves and what is needed to function properly within a classroom (Martin & Collie, 2019). Research suggests that student-teacher relationships for at-risk students are essential. In addition, the growing body of theoretical and empirical research demonstrates that relationships with others can help students with EBD cushion the effect of stressful life events and stimulate positive adjustment with the assistance of teachers who play a vital role in the development of children (Murray & Pianta, 2007; Pianta, 1999; Toste et al., 2014). This qualitative, phenomenological study was designed to examine the lived experiences of students with EBD and their teachers and the impact of their positive relationships with students on their pathway toward graduating high school in 4 years. This study was conducted at a school located in the suburbs near a large metropolitan area. The study participants were six students with EBD and 15 adults nominated by the student participants. Each student participated in three in-depth interviews, and the adult participants participated in one in-depth interview. The thematic analysis revealed that adults in the educational setting drew upon their experiences as students and as adults to develop positive relationships with students with EBD. Also, the analysis revealed that students' positive relationships were characterized based on receiving gifts, rewards, or personal benefits from teachers; adult advocacy; reassurance or comfort from teachers; a sense of accomplishment and empowerment; teachers' personality traits; and admiration for teachers. Results were discussed, and a consensus on strategies to promote positive relations between teachers and students was developed.

description: Integrated modeling has become an urgent issue of urban drainage and wastewater treatment planning. The scope of integrated modeling, system boundaries and disciplines to be involved are addressed in view of future developments and new paradigms in urban drainage, demanding the inclusion of the full urban water cycle. A system analysis is demonstrated to identify relevant sub-systems and components, processes and interactions within the urban water system. The permissibility to exclude subsystems or neglect interactions is evaluated. Integrated modeling of urban water system is characterized as an ambitious task in regard to system complexity, heterogeneous scales and interface problems. The methodical status quo is characterized in preliminary approaches towards integrated modeling. It is concluded that it does not seem promising to create and apply one entity model for the scope of integrated urban water modeling. Instead, the development of adequate and efficient IT frameworks is identified as the key issue of integrated modeling. Harmonizing interfaces to facilitate the linking of existing models is presented as the objective of a European research project HarmonIT and the U.S. EPA Multimedia Integrated Modeling System project MIMS.

description: For the presented study a set of \342\200\236new\342\200\234 substances was selected to analyze their origin and be-havior in urban water systems. The consequences of different strategies for emission control in combined sewer systems are discussed by the example of these substances. At first results of a literature survey on the occurrence of the selected substances in the main flow types of urban drainage systems are presented. The results of measurement programs show a wide range of concentrations for various substances. Main reasons for this divergence are different conditions of field studies in terms of investigation methodologies, site specific factors and hydrological conditions. Followed by a summary representative concentrations in dry weather flow, surface runoff and WWTP effluent pollution load were stated. Simulations for a fictive catchment (combined sewer system) were conducted. Three scenarios were de-signed, that represent commonly used measures for emission control. For these scenarios an-nual pollution loads from CSO structures and WWTP were calculated. The results are predominately dependent on substance properties like origin (dry weather flow versus surface runoff) and the elimination rate in the WWTP. In summary the results give in-dications about possible strategies to reduce pollutant emissions from combined sewer sys-tems. These are not only depending on the catchment conditions but also extremely differ with the considered substance.

description: In this work, we study the application the classical Richardson extrapolation (RE) technique to accelerate the convergence of sequences resulting from linear multistep methods (LMMs) for solving initial-value problems of systems of ordinary differential equations numerically. The advantage of the LMM-RE approach is that the combined method possesses higher order and favorable linear stability properties in terms of $A$- or $A(α)$-stability, and existing LMM codes can be used without any modification.

description: The skin microbiome plays an important role in the maintenance of a healthy skin. It is an ecosystem, composed of several species, competing for resources and interacting with the skin cells. Imbalance in the cutaneous microbiome, also called dysbiosis, has been correlated with several skin conditions, including acne and atopic dermatitis. Generally, dysbiosis is linked to colonization of the skin by a population of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria (for example C. acnes in acne or S. aureus in atopic dermatitis). Treatments consisting in non-specific elimination of cutaneous microflora have shown conflicting results. It is therefore necessary to understand the factors influencing shifts of the skin microbiome composition. In this work, we introduce a mathematical model based on ordinary differential equations, with 2 types of bacteria populations (skin commensals and opportunistic pathogens) to study the mechanisms driving the dominance of one population over the other. By using published experimental data, assumed to correspond to the observation of stable states in our model, we derive constraints that allow us to reduce the number of parameters of the model from 13 to 5. Interestingly, a meta-stable state settled at around 2 days following the introduction of bacteria in the model, is followed by a reversed stable state after 300 hours. On the time scale of the experiments, we show that certain changes of the environment, like the elevation of skin surface pH, create favorable conditions for the emergence and colonization of the skin by the opportunistic pathogen population. Such predictions help identifying potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of skin conditions involving dysbiosis of the microbiome, and question the importance of meta-stable states in mathematical models of biological processes.

description: We study the Faraday patterns generated by spin-orbit-coupling induced parametric resonance in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate with repulsive interaction. The collective elementary excitations of the Bose-Einstein condensate, including density waves and spin waves, are coupled as the result of the Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling and a quench of the relative phase of two Raman lasers without the modulation of any of the system's parameters. We observed several higher parametric resonance tongues at integer multiples of the driving frequency and investigated the interplay between Faraday instabilities and modulation instabilities when we quench the spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensate from zero-momentum phase to plane-wave phase. If the detuning is equal to zero, the wave number of combination resonance barely changes as the strength of spin-orbit coupling increases. If the detuning is not equal to zero after a quench, a single combination resonance tongue will split into two parts.

description: This paper focuses on linearisation techniques for a class of mixed singular/continuous control problems and ensuing algorithms. The motivation comes from (re)insurance problems with reserve-dependent premiums with Cram{é}r-Lundberg claims, by allowing singular dividend payments and capital injections. Using variational techniques and embedding the trajectories in an appropriate family of occupation measures, we provide the linearisation of such problems in which the continuous control is given by reinsurance policies and the singular one by dividends and capital injections. The linearisation translates into a dual dynamic programming (DDP) algorithm. An important part of the paper is dedicated to structural considerations allowing reasonable implementation. We also hint connections to methods relying on moment sum of squares and LMI (linear matrix inequality)-relaxations to approximate the optimal candidates.

description: In this dissertation, the main objective is to propose innovative data and methods to model and improve traffic operation and management in three directions: detecting and analyzing the occurrence of accidents in highways in real-time, improving the operation of reversible lanes to reduce congestion, and addressing the impact of connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) on daily traffic. Therefore, first, an Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model is trained to detect the occurrence of accidents and SHAP method is employed to analyze generated features from traffic, network, demographic, land use, and weather data sources. Second, to reduce congestion of highways, integration of real-time data-driven techniques and an offline statistical approach is proposed to optimize the operation of reversible express lanes. To this end, different delay indices are generated to measure and improve the performance of reversible lanes in passing the traffic more efficiently. Third, to address the impact of CAV on daily traffic, the current study presents data-driven techniques to relate changes in network traffic flows resulted by implementing CAV technology to traffic network and built-environment characteristics. Therefore, a comprehensive set of features representing network characteristics and urban structure patterns are generated and different machine learning techniques are used to characterize changes in Average Daily Traffic (ADT) under implementation of CAV scenario.
Airflow effects on the hygrothermal behaviour of lightweight wall structures

description: Several research projects have already indicated the importance of airflow and air leakage when considering hygrothermal responses of building components.

In order to study the influence of airflow on the hygrothermal behaviour of lightweight wall structures, a test-setup has been constructed at the K.U.Leuven Vliet test building. A terraced house has been built up. First measurements are carried out on the ground level part. The test-setup has two outer walls. The SW-wall is a cavity wall with a plaster finish on the inside. The NE-wall consists of three separate wall-sections, each with different air tightness. Measurements are carried out on the NE-walls, in order to evaluate the influence of air tightness on the thermal and hygric performance of the walls. These walls are subjected to an exfiltration airflow and thus have a higher risk of internal moisture problems.

Variations in the test-setup are made by adding extra infiltration and exfiltration openings, thereby influencing the airflow pattern in the test-house and the NE-walls. Furthermore the impact of minor perforations, imperfections in construction but also the influence of wind speed and wind direction are studied.

description: This paper describes recent efforts made by the Danish Building Research Institute regarding the integration of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method into a whole building hygro-thermal simulation tool. The motivation for the work is that the increased requirements to the energy performance of buildings (as expressed in EU Directive 2002/91/EC), may in the future be supplemented by requirements to the environmental impact of buildings. This can be seen by the fact that EU recently has given CEN mandate to prepare standards for environmental assessment of buildings.

Combining thermal simulation methods with LCA methods enables designers to assess both sets of requirements in one operation, without the need to input redundant data in different tools.

Another advantage of combining the two methods is that it makes it possible to compare the environmental impact of the building during the construction and operational phases. This is of particular interest for low-energy buildings, which often requires a relatively high consumption of resources during the construction, but has a lower consumption of resources during operation. The result of this is that the environmental impact during the two phases can easily be of the same order of magnitude.

The paper describes how the LCA method is integrated into the thermal simulation tool, and the prerequisites for using them. A number of test-cases are used for illustrating how the combination of the two methods can be used for generating design alternatives with high performance regarding energy as well as environmental impact.

Monte Carlo Analysis of Residential Ventilation Systems: Engineering vs Code Compliance

description: The implementation of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD 2002) requires all EU Member States to develop a procedure to quantitatively determine the energy performance of buildings. That procedure can not cover all possible kinds of new technologies, so Member States have to develop assessment procedures according to the "principle of equivalence", in order to assess those systems which are not covered by the standard calculation procedure. Without these alternative calculation methods innovating technology can not be validated by which research and development would be obstructed. In Belgium a methodology for the assessment of innovative residential ventilation systems was developed by a collaboration of the University of Ghent, the Catholic University of Leuven and the Belgian Building Research Institute.

In principle, there were two major focal points: for one thing there has to be a broad consensus on the scientific reliability of the calculation methodology, on the other hand one should bear in mind that the slightest gap or flaw in methodology can cause improper use. For example if one should use only one occupancy schedule, a ventilation system with an automatic time switch designed according to that schedule would appear to have an excellent performance. Bearing that in mind the switch from a deterministic approach to a stochastic method was swiftly taken and Monte Carlo Analysis (MCA) came to the fore.

Eventually the formulated methodology requires quite a lot of simulations to assess the innovative ventilation system: five degrees of airtightness are used, three systems have to be compared, and the MCA requires 100 simulations per system. In total 1500 simulations have to be done. The multizone airflow network model Contam was used because of its extensive possibilities in control options (the innovative system was humidity controlled) to perform the simulations. MCA is not a standard integrated tool in Contam so an interoperability algorithm in excel was developed to automatize the MCA process.

The software interoperability is relatively complicated, and most companies do not have the means to develop complicated algorithms, nor do they have the time to do 1500 simulations while being confronted with optimization issues. Because of this a methodology with a restricted number of simulations and variables will be developed which can be used for optimization within a set confidence interval in line with the obligatory methodology. How many occupancy schedules have to be considered, which variables have a major influence, and how to deal with uncertainty? In order to avoid that the methodology becomes a barrier for innovation an engineering approach will supply in a feasible calculation and simulation method for optimization.

description: We revisit the problem of reducing incompletely specified Mealy machines with reactive synthesis in mind. We propose two techniques: the former is inspired by the tool MeMin and solves the minimization problem, the latter is a novel approach derived from simulationbased reductions but may not guarantee a minimized machine. However, we argue that it offers a good enough compromise between the size of the resulting Mealy machine and performance. The proposed methods are benchmarked against MeMin on a large collection of test cases made of well-known instances as well as new ones.

Pressure equalisation as design strategy for watertight windows

description: In order to shield the indoor environment from the exterior most building components are assembled out of several layers of materials to meet different performance requirements (watertightness, airtightness, thermal resistance, stability etc). In that regard windows and doors are usually the weak spot of the building because it is a transition from the building component to the glass where all the different materials and functions are literally forced together. On top we want them to open and close, so that interface becomes even more crucial and we need to use somewhat exotic fabrics to rise up to the challenge (the bill will rise accordingly). Strangely enough, this research department is much too often left to the industry.

Pressure equalisation is the basic principle where windows and doors derive their performance from, but how can this be realised, and what are the main parameters that influence it? As in walls and roofs we can distinguish different elements in the window casement that will fulfil those needs and influence the performance: the section, joggles, gaskets and fittings (handle, gearbox, locking bar, corner pivot, stay, hinges…).  Using high frequency measuring equipment the influence of the different elements are examined in both dry as well as rainy conditions during static and dynamic pressure differences. The pressure equalisation in the chamber is dependant on the collaboration of the profile and the gaskets, the design of the vents and drainage holes, and the fine-tuning of the fittings.

Analysing the performance of windows and doors one comes to the conclusion that the European Standard EN 1027:2000 may not properly benchmark the watertightness: certain damage initiation phenomena are underestimated in the current procedure.

description: With any symmetric distribution $μ$ on the real line we may associate a parametric family of noncentral distributions as the distributions of $(X+δ)^2$, $δ\not=0$, where $X$ is a random variable with distribution $μ$. The classical case arises if $μ$ is the standard normal distribution, leading to the noncentral chi-squared distributions. It is well-known that these may be written as Poisson mixtures of the central chi-squared distributions with odd degrees of freedom. We obtain such mixture representations for the logistic distribution and for the hyperbolic secant distribution. We also derive alternative representations for chi-squared distributions and relate these to representations of the Poisson family. While such questions originated in parametric statistics they also appear in the context of the generalized second Ray-Knight theorem, which connects Gaussian processes and local times of Markov processes.

description: Few scholars have sought to explain the lack of a broad-based socialist party in the United States in terms of municipal politics and, more specifically, the institutional and historical aspects of local governments. This dissertation will explore the structure of local governments during the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era as a factor for explaining the nonoccurrence of a broad-based socialist party in the United States. In doing so, it will compare the socialist movements in Chicago during the Gilded Age with those in Milwaukee during the Progressive Era and conclude with an analysis of the municipal characteristics of America’s twenty-first-century socialist revival, especially as it has related to Chicago. During Chicago’s Gilded Age, corrupt political machines competed with the recently emergent Socialistic Labor Party for the city’s immigrant working-class vote. Despite the remarkable success of the Socialistic Labor Party during the 1879 election, the socialists were ousted from power through election fraud and machine shenanigans. In contrast, in Milwaukee during the Progressive Era, the city’s local political machine was humiliated by the socialists’ electoral victory of 1910. However, by 1912, the socialists had lost their majority on the common council and the mayorship. Unlike Chicago, the loss in electoral power was not the result of the local political machine. Instead, the city’s professionalization movement waged an aggressive fusion campaign that accused the socialist government of mismanagement. These exclusions from local governments—while epitomized in Chicago and Milwaukee—occurred throughout the United States. Collectively, they made it impossible for socialists or any other labor-based progressive movements to successfully challenge the dominance of the United States’ two-party system.

description: We study the cycle structure of permutations F(x) = x+γ f (x) onFqn,where f : Fqn → Fq . We show that for a 1-homogeneous function f the cycle structure of F can be determined by calculating the cycle structure of certain induced mappings on parallel lines of γ Fq. Using this observation we describe explicitly the cycle structure of two families of permutations over Fq2 : x + γ Tr(x2q−1), where q ≡ −1 (mod 3) and γ ∈ Fq2 , with γ 3 = − 1 27 and x + γ Tr x 22s−1+3·2s−1+1 3 , where q = 2s , s odd and γ ∈ Fq2 , with γ (q+1)/3 = 1.

description: In winter of 2006, in Kearney, Nebraska, (Northern U.S.A. latitude 40° 44' N, elevation 652 meters above sea level) numerous climatic data were collected for a 12 week period from January to March.   Data were recorded daily at 20 minute intervals for a total of 5504 data/time points.  Each data collection time point included the recording of nine variables for a total of 49,536 bits of data.  The nine data variables included numerous temperature readings at various locations in the living space (room), the wall cavity, and the exterior natural air space.  In addition to temperature recordings, atmospheric pressure and moisture levels were also recorded.

The collection of these data allowed the researchers to perform numerous calculations of relative humidity and dew points at various locations within the wall construction.  These data were ultimately further analyzed for their hygrothermal behavior with WUFI, the PC program developed by ORNL/IBP, for calculating coupled heat and moisture transfer in building components.

Finally, the data from this research were compared with similar data collected from a "high elevation" setting located in Laramie, Wyoming (Northern U.S.A. latitude 41° 19' N, elevation 2184 meters above sea level).

description: The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between the social structure that Automotive Technology teachers work in and how they learn to teach. The study used Latour’s Circulatory System of Scientific Facts framework to surface how this learning happens through empirically tracing actors and things and the knowledge they move throughout a network as constructed by the instructors themselves. The results of this work provided rich descriptions of the ways that four different and experienced automotive instructors interact, and are interacted with, in their networks to produce their teaching practices. While the study identified much that is already known about Automotive Technology teaching practices, it also gave insights into practices that have not been previously identified, how these practices may have come about, and insights into how to shape these practices in the future. This study also provided examples of how teachers mobilize the knowledge they acquired in their field of expertise into the classroom through various methods of storytelling.

description: The ever-evolving capabilities of cyber attackers force security administrators to focus on the early identification of emerging threats. Targeted cyber attacks usually consist of several phases, from initial reconnaissance of the network environment to final impact on objectives. This paper investigates the identification of multi-step cyber threat scenarios using kill chain and attack graphs. Kill chain and attack graphs are threat modeling concepts that enable determining weak security defense points. We propose a novel kill chain attack graph that merges kill chain and attack graphs together. This approach determines possible chains of attacker's actions and their materialization within the protected network. The graph generation uses a categorization of threats according to violated security properties. The graph allows determining the kill chain phase the administrator should focus on and applicable countermeasures to mitigate possible cyber threats. We implemented the proposed approach for a predefined range of cyber threats, especially vulnerability exploitation and network threats. The approach was validated on a real-world use case. Publicly available implementation contains a proof-of-concept kill chain attack graph generator.
