description: Driving behaviour has a great impact on road safety. A popular way of analysing driving behaviour is to move the focus to the manoeuvres as they give useful information about the driver who is performing them. In this paper, we investigate a new way of identifying manoeuvres from vehicle telematics data, through motif detection in time-series. We implement a modified version of the Extended Motif Discovery (EMD) algorithm, a classical variable-length motif detection algorithm for time-series and we applied it to the UAH-DriveSet, a publicly available naturalistic driving dataset. After a systematic exploration of the extracted motifs, we were able to conclude that the EMD algorithm was not only capable of extracting simple manoeuvres such as accelerations, brakes and curves, but also more complex manoeuvres, such as lane changes and overtaking manoeuvres, which validates motif discovery as a worthwhile line for future research.

description: An algorithm for embedding finite dimensional Lie algebras into Lie algebras of vector fields (and Lie superalgebras into Lie superalgebras of vector fields) is offered in a way applicable over ground fields of any characteristic. The algorithm is illustrated by reproducing Cartan's interpretations of the Lie algebra of G(2) as the Lie algebra that preserves certain non-integrable distributions. Similar algorithm and interpretation are applicable to other exceptional simple Lie algebras, as well as to all non-exceptional simple ones and many non-simple ones, and to many Lie superalgebras.

description: Inference on the autocorrelation coefficient p of a linear regression model with first-order autoregressive normal disturbances is studied. Both stationary and nonstationary processes are considered. Locally best and point-optimal invariant tests for any given value of p are derived. Special cases of these tests include tests for independence and tests for unit root hypotheses. The powers of alternative tests are compared numerically for a number of selected testing problems and for a range of design matrices. The results suggest that point-optimal tests are usually preferable to locally best tests, especially for testing values of p greater than or equal to one.

description: Viscoelasticity of collagen is essential for the integrity of connective tissue and its aberrancy may result in collagen dysfunction and the emergence of connective tissue diseases. Precise identification of viscoelastic properties of collagens, and affecting factors are necessary to understand collagen behavior ‌in the extracellular matrix as well as the mechanism of collagen-related diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanical and viscoelastic properties and time-lapse changes of protein-protein and protein-solvent hydrogen bonds of proline-rich and hydroxyproline-rich collagens by molecular dynamics simulation applying a virtual creep test. To this end, ten different collagen-like protein structures including [(Gly-Pro-Ala)7]3, [(Gly-Pro-Arg)7]3, [(Gly-Pro-Asp)7]3, [(Gly-Pro-Lys)7]3, [(Gly-Pro-Ser)7]3, [(Gly-Pro-Hyp)7]3, [(Gly-Ala-Hyp)7]3, [(Gly-Glu-Hyp)7]3, [(Gly-Leu-Hyp)7]3 and [(Gly-Val-Hyp)7]3 were virtually built and the viscoelastic properties of the structures were determined by virtual creep test according to Kelvin-Voigt model with various constant pulling forces. Different pulling forces ranged from 500 piconewton (pN) to 5000 pN were applied. As a result, Young’s modulus of the collagens was found positively correlated with the pulling force. The viscosity values and relaxation times were negatively correlated. Results also revealed a decreased number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in hydroxyproline-rich collagens (but not in proline-rich collagens) and an increased number of protein-solvent hydrogen bonds in response to the increasing pulling force. Our results also confirmed that proline and hydroxyproline are the most critical amino acids in determining the collagen viscoelasticity. We suggest that collagen length and mechanical force may be additional important factors for biomechanical properties and behavior of collagen in the extracellular matrix.

description: Physical processing of Europan surface water ice by thermal relaxation, charged particle bombardment, and possible cryovolcanic activity can alter the percentage of the crystalline form of water ice compared to that of the amorphous form of water ice (the ''crystallinity'') on Europa's surface. The timescales over which amorphous water ice is thermally transformed to crystalline water ice at Europan surface temperatures suggests that the water ice there should be primarily in the crystalline form, however, surface bombardment by charged particles induced by Jupiter's magnetic field, and vapor deposition of water ice from Europan plumes, can produce amorphous water ice surface deposits on short timescales. The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether the Europan surface water ice crystallinity derived from ground-based spectroscopic measurements is in agreement with the crystallinity expected based on temperature and radiation modeling. Using a 1D thermophysical model of Europa's surface, we calculate a full-disk crystallinity of Europa's leading hemisphere by incorporating the thermal relaxation of amorphous to crystalline water ice and the degradation of crystalline to amorphous water ice by irradiation. Concurrently, we derive the full-disk crystallinity of Europa's leading hemisphere using a comparison of near-infrared ground-based spectral observations from Grundy et al. (1999), Busarev et al. (2018), and the Apache Point Observatory with laboratory spectra from Mastrapa et al. (2018) and the Ice Spectroscopy Lab at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. We calculate a modeled crystallinity significantly higher than crystallinities derived from ground-based observations and laboratory spectra. This discrepancy may be a result of geophysical processes, such as by vapor-deposited plume material, or it may arise from assumptions and uncertainties in the crystallinity calculations.

description: An electron spin state teleportation scheme is described in detail. It is based on the protocol by Bennett et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1895 (1993)], and involves the production and detection by superconductors of entangled pairs of electrons. Quantum dots filter individual electron transitions, and the whole teleportation sequence is selected in a five-dot cell by electrostatic gating in the stationary regime (no time dependent gate voltages): i) a normal dot carry the electron spin state to be teleported, two others carry the ancillary entangled pair; ii) two superconducting dots, coupled by a superconducting circuit, control the injection of the source electron and the detection of the teleported electron. This teleportation cell is coupled to emitter and receiver reservoirs. In a steady state, a spin-conserving current flows between the reservoirs, most exclusively carried by the teleportation channel. This current is perfectly correlated to a Cooper pair current flowing in the superconducting circuit, and which triggers detection of the teleported electron. This latter current indeed carries the classical information, which is necessary to achieve teleportation. The average teleportation current is calculated using the Bloch equations, for weakly coupled spin reservoirs. A diagnosis of teleportation is proposed using noise correlations.

Non-Wage Benefits in a Simultaneous Model of Wages and Hours: Labor Supply Functions of Young Females

description: This paper examines the estimation of a simultaneous model of hours and wages. We argue the relationship between weekly hours worked and the hourly wage is due to increasing marginal tax rates. As the total wage increases, due to increasing hours, employers and employees avoid taxation by substituting wages with non-taxable non-wage benefits. This is attentuated by labor legislation entitling employees to employer provided benefits. We estimate a wage that is independent of any benefit effect and employ it in the labor supply functions. An estimator is presented for the wage/hours market locus and the structural labor supply function. An application to the data examined Moffitt (1984) supports the validity of the procedure. A second application reveals that a previous study which concluded that the labor supply function of young females is downward sloping is misleading.

description: This paper presents a simple two step estimator for models with censored endogenous regressors and sample selection bias. The approach unifies the literature on censored endogenous regressors and sample selection bias and provides some extensions. The procedure relies upon the use of generalized residuals to adjust for the inconsistency caused by the endogeneity of the censored regressors. The methodology is very simple and easily implementable with existing computer programs. The paper also provides two tests of weak exogeneity. Two empirical examples, based on issues from the labor economics literature, indicate that the estimation procedure and the tests perform well.

description: Trapped ions are a promising candidate for large scale quantum computation. Several systems have been built in both academic and industrial settings to implement modestly-sized quantum algorithms. Efficient cooling of the motional degrees of freedom is a key requirement for high-fidelity quantum operations using trapped ions. Here, we present a technique whereby individual ions are used to cool individual motional modes in parallel, reducing the time required to bring an ion chain to its motional ground state. We demonstrate this technique experimentally and develop a model to understand the efficiency of our parallel sideband cooling technique compared to more traditional methods. This technique is applicable to any system using resolved sideband cooling of co-trapped atomic species and only requires individual addressing of the trapped particles.

Year: 2009

description: A key feature of policy reform and political development in Britain since the 1980s has been the idea that public services are more responsive, flexible and better managed when citizens engage with them as discriminating users or consumers, in education, this approach to reform has been criticised for undermining associations and relations that engender citizenship-based commitments to ideas of public welfarism and a democratic citizenry. This thesis explores diverse sources and types of evidence in order to map the field through which parents are invited to deploy meanings and vocabularies that register a consumerist orientation to school choice, and to illustrate the sets of contrasting and sometimes contradictory discourses enacted by parents in their interpretations and understandings of their role as chooser.

description: MammoWave is a microwave imaging device for breast lesions detection, which operates using two (azimuthally rotating) antennas without any matching liquid. Images, subsequently obtained by resorting to Huygens Principle, are intensity maps, representing the homogeneity of tissues’ dielectric properties.
In the paper: “Breast lesion detection through MammoWave device: empirical detection capability assessment of microwave images’ parameters”, we propose to generate, for each breast, a set of conductivity weighted microwave images by using different values of conductivity in the Huygens Principle imaging algorithm. Next, microwave images’ parameters, i.e. features, are introduced to quantify the non-homogenous behaviour of the image. This data set contains such features.

We empirically verify on 103 breasts that a selection of these features may allow distinction between breasts with no radiological finding (NF ) and breasts with radiological findings (WF), i.e. with lesions which may be benign or malign. Statistical significance was set at p <0.05. We obtained single features Area Under the receiver operating characteristic Curves (AUCs) spanning from 0.65 to 0.69. In addition, an empirical rule-of-thumb allowing breast assessment is introduced using a binary score S operating on an appropriate combination of features. Performances of such rule-of-thumb are evaluated empirically, obtaining a sensitivity of 74%, which increases to 84% when considering dense breasts only.

We clarify the competing influences of the electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions particularity at the different metal to insulator transitions. The Coulomb repulsion is found to dominate the behaviour in large parts of the metallic regime. By suppressing charge fluctuations, it effectively decouples electrons from phonons. The phonon propagator shows a characteristic softening near the metal to bipolaronic transition but there is very little softening on the approach to the Mott transition.

Interpersonal Effects of Belonging: A Brief Intervention for University Students
Creators: name: Stewart, Kate
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Previous experiments demonstrate that college students benefit academically from learning that early challenges in college are common and impermanent, rather than diagnostic of a lack of belonging. The current project expanded this focus by examining interpersonal functioning – namely, relationship goals and responsiveness – as one mechanism underlying the academic benefits of social belonging. A large-scale experiment (N = 604) utilizing a social belonging intervention for first-year college students tested this possibility. The intervention increased two measures of course credits completed (but not GPA) among socially and economically disadvantaged students, and also increased students’ responsiveness to their roommates; it did not affect compassionate or self-image goals with roommates. None of the relationship variables mediated the effects of the intervention on academic outcomes. Exploratory analyses revealed that the intervention shifted compassionate and self-image goals in expected directions among participants who were relatively low in these goals prior to the intervention. Results suggest that the interpersonal effects of social belonging interventions may be moderated by current interpersonal functioning, and relationship goals and responsiveness do not explain the academic benefits of these interventions. Limitations of this study and future directions are discussed.
The Justice Syndicate: A Practice as Research Project exploring immersion and agency in actorless technologically-enabled interactive performance, juror behaviour and reasonable doubt.
Creators: name: Barnard, Dan
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2020
Subjects: interactive performance, digital performance, immersive performance, jury studies, reasonable doubt

description: The Justice Syndicate is a 90-minute performance featuring an audience of 12 who become jurors considering a difficult case. All of the content (video, documents, prompts to interact, invitations to vote) is delivered to the audience on iPads using a bespoke new software system, creating an original art form: technologically-enabled actorless interactive performance. 

It has been performed 80 times over 2 years to members of the public in theatres (including National Theatre of Scotland), law courts (Dublin High Court) and festivals (York Mediale).

It was a collaboration between Drama researcher Dan Barnard, theatre maker Rachel Briscoe, computational artist Joe McAlister and neuroscientist Kris De Meyer. 

Our research questions were: 

Q1: Can an interactive performance without live actors facilitate in audience members a sense of immersion and a high level of agentive behaviour?

Q2: Can different juries, given the same evidence in the same order, reach different decisions and if so why?

We surveyed the (psychological, theatrical, legal) literature on immersion, juries and group decision-making before undertaking an iterative design process. The resulting performance is one of the first attempts to remove live actors from interactive performance, instead using digital platforms to stimulate interaction.

Our results (elaborated upon in the two supplementary articles) offer new insights in the realms of interactive performance and jury studies:

Q1: Creating interactive performance facilitated by machines can stimulate immersion by removing the fear of embarrassment, particularly by removing distinctions between “performers” and “audience.” It can also stimulate a high intensity of “agentive behaviour.” 

Q2: Different juries, presented with the same evidence, can reach a wide range of different decisions. This is caused by group dynamics and how discussions play out rather than demographic differences or differences in individual psychology. We propose teaching jurors the psychological dynamics of group discussions to avoid being unconsciously influenced by them.

description: The quantum resonances (QRs) of the kicked particle are studied in a most general framework by also considering {\em arbitrary} periodic kicking potentials. It is shown that QR can arise, in general, for {\em any rational} value of the Bloch quasimomentum. This is illustrated in the case of the main QRs for arbitrary potentials. In this case, which is shown to be precisely described by the linear kicked rotor, exact formulas are derived for the diffusion coefficients determining the asymptotic evolution of the average kinetic energy of either an incoherent mixture of plane waves or a general wave packet. The momentum probability distribution is exactly calculated and studied for a two-harmonic potential. It clearly exhibits new resonant values of the quasimomentum and it is robust under small deviations from QR.

description: The study examines the barriers that impede the successful transfer of the parent's occupational safety and health (OSH) practices at the Malaysian subsidiaries of a of a U.K. MNC. The study examines the process of transfer, translation and corruption of management practices as they move across the national boundaries. The study applies a case study approach and is exploratory in nature. The quantitative and qualitative methods are used to analyze the data. Overall a total of 291 employees participated in the study. Out of the total, 159 participated in the survey questionnaires and 132 in the qualitative interviews. The findings indicate two key factors had influenced the transfer and adoption of practices at the subsidiaries: the stage of economic development and the normative, cultural-cognitive systems of the host country, specifically ethnic stratification. The contribution of the study is in applying institutional theory to produce understanding of processes in the cross national transfer of management practices. The study provides researchers better understanding in applying institutional theory in the transfer and adoption of management practices in MNCs. For the HR practitioners the study provides better understanding in managing rewards systems and training of management practices.

description: In this paper, we have examined the Sharma-Mittal holographic dark energy model (SMHDE) in the framework of an isotropic and spatially homogeneous flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker(FRW) Universe by considering different values of parameter $δ$ and $R$, where the infrared cut-off is taken care by the Hubble horizon. We examined the SMHDE model through the analysis of Statefinder hierarchy and the growth rate of perturbation. The evolutionary trajectories of the statefinder hierarchy $S_3^1$, $S_3^2$ $S_4^1$, $S_4^2$ versus redshift z, show satisfactory behavior throughout the Universe evaluation. One promising tool for investigating the dark energy models is the composite null diagnostic(CND) $\{ S_3^1 - ε\}$, where the evolutionary trajectories of the $S_3^1 - ε$ pair present different property and the departure from $Λ$CDM could be well evaluated. Additionally, we investigated the dynamical analysis of the model by $ω_{D}-ω^{'}_{D}$ pair analysis.

description: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s legacy as a founding member of Die Brücke (The Bridge), and one of the leading figures of German Expressionism, has made his work of the period between 1905 and 1918 the subject of considerable scholarly attention. Less often considered are the works Kirchner produced after leaving Germany for Switzerland immediately following the end of World War I. The works he made during this later period of his career are generally dismissed as stylistically deficient, derivative, and out of step with the current developments of the artistic avant-garde. Refuting this view of Kirchner’s post-Brücke work, my thesis will examine two series of Kirchner’s dance-themed woodcut prints created in the years 1926 and 1933; works inspired by acclaimed Expressionist dancer Mary Wigman. As I will show, the stylistic elements of the two images in the later series, decidedly different from the dance-themed works that he created in 1926, cannot be interpreted entirely within the context of Expressionism. I interpret these works by relating Kirchner’s interpretation of Wigman’s Ausdruckstanz (Expressionist dance) to his interest in Georges Bataille’s concept of the informe (formlessness), disseminated widely in the French Surrealist magazine Documents. My analysis of Kirchner’s dance imagery centers on the collaborative, cooperative model that Wigman modeled at her school of dance, founded in 1920. I suggest that the negotiation of the dichotomy between individuation and association that Kirchner witnessed in Wigman’s school provided a framework through which he investigated Surrealist concepts as well as his own Expressionist past. Ultimately, I demonstrate that Kirchner continued to modify his style beyond Expressionism throughout his career, and that his artistic investigations remained in dialogue with the avant-garde through the early 1930’s.

description: We present a significantly-improved data-driven global weather forecasting framework using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to forecast several basic atmospheric variables on a global grid. New developments in this framework include an offline volume-conservative mapping to a cubed-sphere grid, improvements to the CNN architecture, and the minimization of the loss function over multiple steps in a prediction sequence. The cubed-sphere remapping minimizes the distortion on the cube faces on which convolution operations are performed and provides natural boundary conditions for padding in the CNN. Our improved model produces weather forecasts that are indefinitely stable and produce realistic weather patterns at lead times of several weeks and longer. For short- to medium-range forecasting, our model significantly outperforms persistence, climatology, and a coarse-resolution dynamical numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. Unsurprisingly, our forecasts are worse than those from a high-resolution state-of-the-art operational NWP system. Our data-driven model is able to learn to forecast complex surface temperature patterns from few input atmospheric state variables. On annual time scales, our model produces a realistic seasonal cycle driven solely by the prescribed variation in top-of-atmosphere solar forcing. Although it is currently less accurate than operational weather forecasting models, our data-driven CNN executes much faster than those models, suggesting that machine learning could prove to be a valuable tool for large-ensemble forecasting.

description: A gazdaság döntő mértékben függ a KKV-k helyzetétől. Magyarország KKV-szektorának teljesítménye máig nem tért magához a 2008-as válság okozta visszaesésből. A válság közvetlen következményeként a KKV-szektor 10%-os visszaesést szenvedett el, a vállalkozások számának, a foglalkoztatásnak és a hozzáadott értéknek a tekintetében. Kiemelt figyelmet kell fordítanunk a gazdaság sikere érdekében a KKV-k versenyképességének javítására, felhasználva a kontrolling adta lehetőségeket is. A vállalkozások vezetői akkor gazdálkodnak helyesen, ha nyitottak az új innovatív rendszerek iránt, és megpróbálják beépíteni az új elképzeléseket a döntéshozatali mechanizmusokba. A kontrolling szemléletmód kialakítása, a kontrolling funkciók alkalmazása elősegíti a vezetői döntéseknél a hatékony és racionális gondolkodás érvényesülését. ---------- The economy is decisively dependent on SMEs. The performance of the SME sector in Hungary has not yet recovered from the shocks caused by the 2008 economic crisis. As the direct result of the crisis the SME sector suffered a 10% decrease in terms of the number of firms, employment and added value. In order to boost the success of the economy special attention must be paid to the improvement of the competitiveness of SMEs by utilizing controlling options. Business executives manage their businesses correctly if they are open to new and innovative systems and try to incorporate their new ideas into the decision-making mechanisms. The integration of the controlling approach and the application of the controlling functions help managers base their decisions on efficient and rational thinking.
