description: Physical decline is associated with old age. Engagement in regular physical exercises can help elderly people improve their physical functionalities, as well as cognitive abilities. Among modern technologies, digital games have the potential to promote elderly people’s engagement in physical exercises through fun and enjoyable gameplay. Although commercial digital games show promise, most of them are not designed for elderly people. The literature also suggests that more studies need to be undertaken to understand the usability and usefulness of digital games for elderly people. Hence, in this study, we designed and developed a digital game-based Skiing activity for elderly people. Then, we evaluated itwith the Finnish and Japanese elderly participants in Finland and Japanto investigate their feedback towards the usability and usefulness of the game. The findings from both studies show that the Skiing game is an easy and user-friendly game for elderly people. While digital games are promising to be used as an alternative solution for promoting the Japanese elderly participant’s physical activities, the Finnish elderly participants recommend to use it when they don’t have access to non-digital physical exercises. The lessons learnedfrom this study can help researchers, designers,and practitioners gain insights into game design and development for elderly people and their physical activities.

description: We study magnetic properties of the half-filled Hubbard model on the two-dimensional $H_{00}$ hexagonal golden-mean quasiperiodic tiling. The tiling is composed of large and small hexagons, and parallelograms, and its vertex model is bipartite with a sublattice imbalance. The tight-binding model on the tiling has macroscopically degenerate states at $E = 0$. We find the existence of two extended states in one of the sublattices, in addition to confined states in the other. This property is distinct from that of the well-known two-dimensional quasiperiodic tilings such as the Penrose and Ammann-Beenker tilings. Applying the Lieb theorem to the Hubbard model on the tiling, we obtain the exact fraction of the confined states as $1/2τ^2$, where $τ$ is the golden mean. This leads to a ferromagnetically ordered state in the weak coupling limit. Increasing the Coulomb interaction, the staggered magnetic moments are induced and gradually increase. Crossover behaviour in the magnetically ordered states is also addressed in terms of perpendicular space analysis.

description: The convergent synthesis of branched inner-core oligosaccharides of lipopoly- and lipooligosaccharide with a 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) disaccharide acceptor was achieved. The l-glycero-d-manno-heptopyranose (Hep) units for the branched core oligosaccharide Galβ(1-4)Glcβ(1-4)Hep and Hepα(1-3)Hep were prepared from the corresponding Hep building blocks. To obtain 4,5-branched core oligosaccharide structures, the common acceptor Kdoα(2-4)Kdo was glycosylated with the Hep units.

description: Based on 1-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-tetrazole (C6mtz), a series of mononuclear iron(II) spin-crossover complexes with the general formula [Fe(C6mtz)6]X2, where X is the non-coordinating anion (1), (2), or (3), have been synthesized and characterized. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements for 1, 2, and 3 show reversible one-step spin crossover (SCO) behavior between high-spin (HS, S = 2) and low-spin (LS, S = 0) states without hysteresis. The compound shows spin transition at T1/2 = 213 K at a considerably higher temperature than the other compounds, (T1/2 = 126 K) and (T1/2 = 119 K). Temperature-dependent Far-IR and Mössbauer spectra of 2 and 3 were compared with the measured magnetic susceptibility and confirm the one-step SCO behavior of the compounds.

description: A 1:50,000 scale map of the surficial geology and geomorphology of the mountain glacier landsystem and the human impacts of the Kumtor Gold Mine operations in the Akshiirak massif was compiled from a 0.5 m resolution pan-sharpened image from Digital Globe's WorldView-2 platform dated 5 September 2014. The map depicts 11 surficial geology units, 6 of which are classified according to natural genetic origins and 5 relating to recent human interference with glaciological and land surface processes. When compared to historical imagery the map records a number of important, not unrelated, cryospheric responses to mining activity, including: (a) the triggering of human-induced glacier speed-up events or surges due to dumping of mine spoil on receding and thinning glacier snouts; (b) the reactivation by internal creep of buried glacier ice due to the expansion of spoil dumping onto down valley areas of ice-cored moraine; and (c) accelerated ice drawdown and significant incursions of ice into the mine pit walls due to the artificial removal of substantial areas of glacier ablation zones.

description: A 1:9500 scale map of the Eiríksjökull plateau icefield and its post-Little Ice Age (LIA) foreland geomorphology and surficial geology is presented as a modern exemplar of an asymmetrically developed mountain glacier typical of the style of glacierization that dominated during mid-latitude Quaternary cold stages. Features regarded as diagnostic for this setting include (a) ice-cored hummocky terrain, indicative of controlled moraine construction in polythermal snouts, and localized breach lobe development, incremental stagnation and rock glacierization, all indicative of a debris-charged glacier snout; (b) fluted till and moraines, indicative of temperate basal ice conditions up-ice from polythermal glacier margins and (c) glacifluvial and debris flow deposits, occurring as steep fans emanating from glacier snouts at the plateau edge and in ice-contact fans or ramps fed directly by debris-covered glacier margins at the LIA. Although this plateau icefield landsystem is similar to those previously reported from Iceland, a remarkable debris-covered snout/ice-cored moraine complex on the foreland of Klofajökull is a more extreme example of the depositional zone that characterizes the valleys surrounding the more sediment-starved plateau ice dispersal centres.

Theoretical analysis of interferometer wave front tilt and fringe radiant flux on a rectangular photodetector
Creators: name: Smith, Robert
name: Fuss, Franz
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper is a theoretical analysis of mirror tilt in a Michelson interferometer and its effect on the radiant flux over the active area of a rectangular photodetector or image sensor pixel. It is relevant to sensor applications using homodyne interferometry where these opto-electronic devices are employed for partial fringe counting. Formulas are derived for radiant flux across the detector for variable location within the fringe pattern and with varying wave front angle. The results indicate that the flux is a damped sine function of the wave front angle, with a decay constant of the ratio of wavelength to detector width. The modulation amplitude of the dynamic fringe pattern reduces to zero at wave front angles that are an integer multiple of this ratio and the results show that the polarity of the radiant flux changes exclusively at these multiples. Varying tilt angle causes radiant flux oscillations under an envelope curve, the frequency of which is dependent on the location of the detector with the fringe pattern. It is also shown that a fringe count of zero can be obtained for specific photodetector locations and wave front angles where the combined effect of fringe contraction and fringe tilt can have equal and opposite effects. Fringe tilt as a result of a wave front angle of 0.05° can introduce a phase measurement difference of 16° between a photodetector/pixel located 20 mm and one located 100 mm from the optical origin.

description: Recently, a bulk nickelate superconductor $\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7}$ is discovered at pressures with a remarkable high transition temperature $T_c \sim 80K$. Here, we study a Hubbard model with tight-binding parameters derived from \textit{ab initio} calculations of $\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7}$, by employing large scale determinant quantum Monte Carlo and cellular dynamical mean-field theory. Our result suggests that the superexchange couplings in this system are comparable to that of cuprates. The system is a charge transfer insulator as hole concentration becomes four per site at large Hubbard $U$. Upon hole doping, two low-energy spin-singlet bands emerge in the system exhibiting distinct correlation properties: while the one composed of the out-of-plane Ni-$d_{3z^2-r^2}$ and O-$p_z$ orbitals demonstrates strong antiferromagnetic correlations and narrow effective bandwidth, the in-plane singlet band consisting of the Ni-$d_{x^2-y^2}$ and O-$p_x / p_y$ orbitals is in general more itinerant. Over a broad range of hole doping, the doped holes occupy primarily the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ and $p_x / p_y$ orbitals, whereas the $d_{3z^2-r^2}$ and $p_z$ orbitals retain underdoped. We propose an effective $ t-J$ model to capture the relevant physics and discuss the implications of our result for comprehending the $\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7}$ superconductivity.

Accuracy Performance Parameters of Seam Bowling, Measured with a Smart Cricket Ball
Creators: name: Fuss, Franz
name: Smith, Robert Masterton
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In seam bowling, the spin vector precesses rapidly into the torque vector, thereby crossing from one hemisphere to the other once torque is imparted onto the ball. However, the spin axis reaches the torque vector only at large times. If the spin axis does not coincide with the pole of the ball, the seam wobbles and introduces another roughness element. Thus, if the seam is angled toward the smooth side (for half a period per spin revolution) then the flow is turbulent on both sides of the ball and the aerodynamic side force decreases and vanishes, thereby disturbing the swing. The aim of this study was to investigate how accurate is the placement of the spin axis at release of the ball. A smart cricket ball instrumented with three high-speed MEMS gyroscopes was used for this purpose and the data of four spin bowlers were analysed. It was found that the spin axis can under- and overshoot the optimal position of the ball as well as deviate off the pole. The spin rates recorded were 15-20 rps produced by peak torques of 0.29-0.39 Nm. The deviation of the spin axis correlated with the torque, indicating that too much torque imparted onto the ball worsens the accuracy of bowling. Undershooting the optimal position is due to equal torques imparted by index and middle fingers. The optimal position of the spin axis can be achieved if the middle finger is closer to the seam than the index. This causes an overshooting torque vector and allows the spin axis to be placed at the pole of the ball at release.

description: In cosmological $N$-body simulations of warm dark matter, thermal velocities of dark-matter particles are sometimes taken into account by adding random initial velocities to the particles of simulation. However, a particle in the $N$-body system represents a huge collection of dark-matter particles, whose average thermal velocity is very close to zero. We consider justification of the procedure of adding thermal velocities in $N$-body simulations and build a simple model of their influence on the power spectrum. Our model captures the physical effect of suppression of the power spectrum at small wave numbers and also explains its artificial enhancement at large wave numbers, observed in numerical simulations with added thermal velocities. The cause of this enhancement is the disturbance of the growth rate of the density profile introduced when adding random initial thermal velocities. Specifically, the model predicts a turnover in the behavior of the simulated power spectrum at a certain wave number $k_*$, beyond which it grows as $P (k) \propto k^2$. Our treatment is generalized to a system consisting of several matter components with different thermal velocity dispersion. We also estimate the effects of discreteness related to the bulk velocity field and establish the conditions under which these effects dominate over those of thermal velocities.

description: Symmetry breaking in quantum materials is of great importance and can lead to nonreciprocal charge transport. Topological insulators provide a unique platform to study nonreciprocal charge transport due to their surface states, especially quantum Hall states under external magnetic field. Here, we report the observation of nonreciprocal charge transport mediated by quantum Hall states in devices composed of the intrinsic topological insulator Sn-Bi1.1Sb0.9Te2S, which is attributed to asymmetric scattering between quantum Hall states and Dirac surface states. A giant nonreciprocal coefficient of up to 2.26*10^5 A^-1 is found. Our work not only reveals the properties of nonreciprocal charge transport of quantum Hall states in topological insulators, but also paves the way for future electronic devices.

description: Loading functions into quantum computers represents an essential step in several quantum algorithms, such as quantum partial differential equation solvers. Therefore, the inefficiency of this process leads to a major bottleneck for the application of these algorithms. Here, we present and compare two efficient methods for the amplitude encoding of real polynomial functions on $n$ qubits. This case holds special relevance, as any continuous function on a closed interval can be uniformly approximated with arbitrary precision by a polynomial function. The first approach relies on the matrix product state representation. We study and benchmark the approximations of the target state when the bond dimension is assumed to be small. The second algorithm combines two subroutines. Initially we encode the linear function into the quantum registers with a shallow sequence of multi-controlled gates that loads the linear function's Hadamard-Walsh series, exploring how truncating the Hadamard-Walsh series of the linear function affects the final fidelity. Applying the inverse discrete Hadamard-Walsh transform transforms the series coefficients into an amplitude encoding of the linear function. Then, we use this construction as a building block to achieve a block encoding of the amplitudes corresponding to the linear function on $k_0$ qubits and apply the quantum singular value transformation that implements a polynomial transformation to the block encoding of the amplitudes. This unitary together with the Amplitude Amplification algorithm will enable us to prepare the quantum state that encodes the polynomial function on $k_0$ qubits. Finally we pad $n-k_0$ qubits to generate an approximated encoding of the polynomial on $n$ qubits, analyzing the error depending on $k_0$. In this regard, our methodology proposes a method to improve the state-of-the-art complexity by introducing controllable errors.

description: Biofiltration of volatile organic compounds is still considered an emerging technology. Its reliability remains questionable as no data is available regarding process intrinsic repeatability. Herein, two identically operated toluene biofiltration systems are comprehensively compared, during long-term operation (129 days). Globally, reactors responded very similarly, even during transient conditions, with, for example, strong biological activities from the first days of operation, and comparable periods of lower removal efficiency (81.2%) after exposure to high inlet loads (140 g m−3 h−1). Regarding steady states, very similar maximum elimination capacities up to 99 g m−3 h−1 were attained. Estimation of the process repeatability, with the paired samples Student's t-test, indicated no statistically significant difference between elimination capacities. Repeatability was also established for several descriptors of the process such as the carbon dioxide and biomass production, the pH and organic content of the leachates, and the moisture content of the packing material. While some parameters, such as the pH, presented a remarkably low divergence between biofilters (coefficient of variability of 1.4%), others, such as the organic content of the leachates, presented higher variability (30.6%) due to an uneven biomass lixiviation associated with stochastic hydrodynamics and biomass repartitions. Regarding process efficiency, it was established that less than 10% of fluctuation is to be expected between the elimination capacities of identical biofilter set-ups. A further statistical comparison between the first halves of the biofilter columns indicated very similar coefficients of variability, confirming the repeatability of the process, for different biofilter lengths.

description: We consider a quantum system that is being continuously monitored, giving rise to a measurement signal. From such a stream of data, information needs to be inferred about the underlying system's dynamics. Here we focus on hypothesis testing problems and put forward the usage of sequential strategies where the signal is analyzed in real time, allowing the experiment to be concluded as soon as the underlying hypothesis can be identified with a certified prescribed success probability. We analyze the performance of sequential tests by studying the stopping-time behavior, showing a considerable advantage over currently-used strategies based on a fixed predetermined measurement time.

description: This study addresses a large-scale multimodal transit network design problem, with Shared Autonomous Mobility Services (SAMS) as both transit feeders and an origin-to-destination mode. The framework captures spatial demand and modal characteristics, considers intermodal transfers and express services, determines transit infrastructure investment and path flows, and generates transit routes. A system-optimal multimodal transit network is designed with minimum total door-to-door generalized costs of users and operators, satisfying transit origin-destination demand within a pre-set infrastructure budget. Firstly, the geography, demand, and modes in each zone are characterized with continuous approximation. The decisions of network link investment and multimodal path flows in zonal connection optimization are formulated as a minimum-cost multi-commodity network flow (MCNF) problem and solved efficiently with a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solver. Subsequently, the route generation problem is solved by expanding the MCNF formulation to minimize intramodal transfers. The model is illustrated through a set of experiments with the Chicago network comprised of 50 zones and seven modes, under three scenarios. The computational results present savings in traveler journey time and operator cost demonstrating the potential benefits of collaboration between multimodal transit systems and SAMS.

description: Biofiltration of volatile organic compounds is still considered an emerging technology. Its reliability remains questionable as no data is available regarding process intrinsic repeatability. Herein, two identically operated toluene biofiltration systems are comprehensively compared, during long-term operation (129 days). Globally, reactors responded very similarly, even during transient conditions, with, for example, strong biological activities from the first days of operation, and comparable periods of lower removal efficiency (81.2%) after exposure to high inlet loads (140 g m−3 h−1). Regarding steady states, very similar maximum elimination capacities up to 99 g m−3 h−1 were attained. Estimation of the process repeatability, with the paired samples Student's t-test, indicated no statistically significant difference between elimination capacities. Repeatability was also established for several descriptors of the process such as the carbon dioxide and biomass production, the pH and organic content of the leachates, and the moisture content of the packing material. While some parameters, such as the pH, presented a remarkably low divergence between biofilters (coefficient of variability of 1.4%), others, such as the organic content of the leachates, presented higher variability (30.6%) due to an uneven biomass lixiviation associated with stochastic hydrodynamics and biomass repartitions.

description: :Based on 1-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-tetrazole (C6mtz), a series of mononuclear iron(II) spin-crossover (SCO) complexes with the general formula [Fe(C6mtz)6]X2, where X is the non-coordinating anion BF4ˉ (1), ClO4ˉ (2), or PF6ˉ (3), have been synthesized and characterized. Temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements for 1, 2 and 3 show reversible one-step spin crossover behavior between high spin (HS, S = 2) and low spin (LS, S = 0) states without hysteresis. The PF6ˉ compound shows spin transition at T1/2 = 213 K at a considerably higher temperature than the other compounds, BF4ˉ (T1/2 = 126 K) and ClO4ˉ (T1/2 = 119 K). Temperature dependent far-IR and Mössbauer spectra of 2 and 3 were compared with the measured magnetic susceptibility and confirm the one-step spin crossover behavior of the compounds.

description: In the context of robotics, accurate ground truth positioning is essential for the development of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and control algorithms. Robotic Total Stations (RTSs) provide accurate and precise reference positions in different types of outdoor environments, especially when compared to the limited accuracy of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in cluttered areas. Three RTSs give the possibility to obtain the six-Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) reference pose of a robotic platform. However, the uncertainty of every pose is rarely computed for trajectory evaluation. As evaluation algorithms are getting increasingly precise, it becomes crucial to take into account this uncertainty. We propose a method to compute this six-DOF uncertainty from the fusion of three RTSs based on Monte Carlo (MC) methods. This solution relies on point-to-point minimization to propagate the noise of RTSs on the pose of the robotic platform. Five main noise sources are identified to model this uncertainty: noise inherent to the instrument, tilt noise, atmospheric factors, time synchronization noise, and extrinsic calibration noise. Based on extensive experimental work, we compare the impact of each noise source on the prism uncertainty and the final estimated pose. Tested on more than 50 km of trajectories, our comparison highlighted the importance of the calibration noise and the measurement distance, which should be ideally under 75 m. Moreover, it has been noted that the uncertainty on the pose of the robot is not prominently affected by one particular noise source, compared to the others.

Should the finger pressure be well distributed across the seam in seam bowling? A problem of precession and torque
Creators: name: Fuss, Franz
name: Smith, Robert Masterton
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: In seam bowling, the first two fingers are supposed to impart equal amounts of back-spin to the ball. As the rotating arm of the bowler and the backspin of the ball have different senses (clockwise vs. counterclockwise), the spin axis moves rapidly from one hemisphere to the other, thereby crossing the seam, when finger torque is imparted onto the ball. It is shown in this study analytically, that the rapidly precessing spin axis approaches the torque vector, but reaches the torque vector only at large times. From the experimental data, the spin and torque vectors are approximately 10-15° apart when releasing the ball in seam bowling. If the spin axis is not exactly at the pole of the ball, i.e. perpendicular to the seam, then the seam wobbles by twice the angle between spin and torque vectors. It is therefore advisable to have the finger centre of pressure slightly off seam by 10-15°.
Analysing the effects of the aeration pattern and residual ammonium concentration in a partial nitritation-anammox process

description: A mathematical model was used to evaluate the effect of the aeration pattern and ammonium concentration in a partial nitritation-anammox sequencing batch reactor with granular and flocculent sludge. In the tested conditions, model results indicate that most of the aerobic ammonium oxidation potential would occur in the bulk liquid, with 70% of the ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) biomass in suspension rather than in granules. The simulated granular sludge consisted predominantly of anammox bacteria with AOB present in the outer layer of the granule (50 μm AOB layer, accounting for 3% of the granule weight). Simulation results indicated that when granules do not contain any AOB, the amount of granular biomass required to achieve the same level of nitrogen removal would strongly increase (in the simulated conditions, by a factor of three) due to anammox inhibition by oxygen. This underlines the importance of a small fraction of AOB present in the granular anammox sludge. The aeration pattern had an important impact on the nitrogen removal: a better performance was suggested for continuous aeration (90% N-removal) than for intermittent aeration (68–84% N-removal). Anammox inhibition during the periods of high oxygen concentration was identified as the main reason for the lower nitrogen removal in the intermittently aerated system. With increasing oxygen concentration, a higher residual (effluent) ammonium concentration was needed to assure nitrite-oxidizing bacteria repression in the system. This study contributes to further understand the complexity of a reactor with both granular and flocculent sludge and the impact of operation conditions on reactor performance.

description: We answer a 15-year-old open question about the exact upper bound for bivariate copulas with a given diagonal section by giving an explicit formula for this bound. As an application, we determine the maximal asymmetry of bivariate copulas with a given diagonal section and construct a copula that attains it. We derive a formula for the maximal asymmetry that is simple enough to be used by practitioners.
