description: Ultra-violet emitters have several applications in the areas of sensing, water purification, and data storage. While the III-Nitride semiconductor system has the band gap region necessary for ultraviolet emission, achieving efficient ultraviolet solid state emitters remains a challenge due to the low p-type conductivity and high contact resistance in wide band gap AlGaN-based ultra-violet light emitters. In this work, we show that efficient interband tunneling can be used for non-equilibrium injection of holes into ultraviolet emitters. Polarization-engineered tunnel junctions were used to enhance tunneling probability by several orders of magnitude over a PN homojunction, leading to highly efficient tunnel injection of holes to ultraviolet light emitters. This demonstration of efficient interband tunneling introduces a new paradigm for design of ultra-violet light emitting diodes and diode lasers, and enables higher efficiency and lower cost ultra-violet emitters.

description: The distillery sector is among the biggest industrial water user in the United Kingdom (UK) and simultaneously delivers valuable by-products traditionally used for cattle feed, but in recent years increasingly for bioenergy generation. Our research provides new insight into these two aspects of alcohol production by 1) presenting the first water scarcity footprint of Scottish single malt whisky, and 2) comparing potential avoided water scarcity impacts through the use of by-products to replace different feeds and energy carriers. We applied Life Cycle Assessment, including a water scarcity footprint (AWARE methodology) and carbon footprint, using primary data from a Scottish whisky distillery. By-products used for feed were considered to replace imported soybean meal from the Americas or rapemeal from Europe combined with UK grown barley to balance protein and metabolisable energy substitution. Alternative by-product use for biogas production replaced conventional heat and electricity generation, or transport fuel with the digestate substituting mineral fertilisers. The water scarcity footprint of 1 litre of pure al?cohol is 0.79 m3 world eq., with the majority of water used for cooling, highlighting a hotspot for water conservation. The carbon footprint is 4.4 kg CO2 eq., predominantly caused by heating with gas oil. By-product use as animal feed, replacing soybean meal and barley, offsets up to 47% of the water scarcity footprint and 32% of the carbon footprint of alcohol production. Using by-products for bioenergy gen?erates smaller offsets. Water reuse and heat recovery measures should be investigated as priorities to reduce the environmental footprint of whisky. Feeding all cereal based by-products from UK potable alcohol production to cattle could save 370 M m3 world eq., or 37% of the UK’s water scarcity footprint attributable to imported soy feed.

description: Presentation 'Time Series Missing Data Visualizations' at European R Users Meeting 2020 in Milano, Italy. Abstract: Missing data is a quite common problem for time series, which usually also complicates later analysis steps. In order to deal with this problem, visualizing the missing data is a very good start. Visualizing the patterns in the missing data can provide more information about the reasons for the missing data and give hints on how to best proceed with the analysis. This talk gives a short intro into the new plotting functions being introduced with the 3.1 version of the imputeTS CRAN package.

description: We obtain area growth estimates for constant mean curvature graphs in $\mathbb{E}(κ,τ)$-spaces with $κ\leq 0$, by finding sharp upper bounds for the volume of geodesic balls in $\mathbb{E}(κ,τ)$. We focus on complete graphs and graphs with zero boundary values. For instance, we prove that entire graphs in $\mathbb{E}(κ,τ)$ with critical mean curvature have at most cubic intrinsic area growth. We also obtain sharp upper bounds for the extrinsic area growth of graphs with zero boundary values, and study distinguished examples in detail such as invariant surfaces, $k$-noids and ideal Scherk graphs. Finally we give a relation between height and area growth of minimal graphs in Heisenberg space ($κ=0$), and prove a Collin-Krust type estimate for such minimal graphs.

title: Regional integration and economic growth: implications of regional integration for the economic development in Eurasia
Creators: name: Pomerlyan, Evgeniya
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: This study advances the knowledge on regional integration and the role of integration in countries’ economic performance and development. It introduces a framework for conceptualizing the integration-growth nexus and discusses the welfare and development effects of integration. Unlike prior research, this study addresses the complex nature of regional integration and applies a multidimensional approach to measuring its growth and developmentrelated implications. Application of the concept of the depth and breadth of integration enables the analysis of the dynamic nature of regional cooperation. This thesis also introduces a special framework that enables a better understanding of integration effects on growth and development. In particular, it analyses the effects of regional integration together with the effects of alternative trade liberalization strategies. In other words, the impact of integration is tested against the effects that could result from the application of a unilateral tariff reduction. The research also considers the potential implications of combining the two liberalization strategies and explores the resulting complementarity effects. Such an approach allows the identification of the most and the least beneficial growth and development regional strategies and to design evidence-based policy recommendations. Evaluating the integration-growth nexus on the example of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the study suggests that to target a better economic performance, the EAEU countries should further develop regional cooperation and increase the convergence across policy areas. Without deepening regional integration across sectors, the EAEU members would not be able to fully benefit from regional cooperation as, in its current form, it remains a purely tradefacilitating instrument. The research also highlights that a combination of two trade liberalization strategies (regional integration and unilateral trade liberalization) could create a complementary effect for the EAEU countries and mitigate the shortcomings of regional integration. When it comes to the development effects, the study suggests that current regional arrangements have a very limited impact on the welfare level of the EAEU countries. To implement the robustness check of the research findings based the EAEU data, the study applies a panel data analysis to other integration initiatives with a comparable integration level. This approach improves the validity of the research outcomes and helps to develop both general and region-specific conclusions.

description: A naturalized population of parsley of the province of Trento, Italy, was evaluated ex-situ for its morphological and agronomic traits in a field trial in which it was compared with three commercial cultivars of the species. The naturalized population belongs to the smooth leaf type for the absence of curling, and differed from the other smooth leaf type accessions for the lower plant height, the smaller length of petiole and the prostrate attitude of the plant, all undesirable characteristics which make the harvest of plants more difficult. The yields of aerial parts and leaves were higher in the commercial cultivars, while the naturalized population had the highest yield and content of essential oil. Due to the high content and yield of essential oil, the naturalized population could be the object of an eventual breeding program aiming to improve the morphologic and agronomic undesirable characteristics.

description: Obiettivo della mia tesi è studiare come la presenza di circuiti neurali programmabili possa rendere l’apprendimento di differenti comportamenti, da parte di una singola struttura, più efficace. A tal fine, ho messo a confronto due architetture, una programmabile e l’altra non programmabile, come parte di uno scenario robotico appositamente progettato per testare la possibilità di apprendere ed esibire comportamenti multipli. Più in particolare, ho supposto che un robot possa imparare, tramite la sua architettura di controllo, programmabile o meno, a raggiungere, su richiesta, ciascuna delle otto terminazioni differenti di un labirinto costituito da una serie di tre biforcazioni e di dimensioni variabili. Fondamentale, in tale scenario, la necessità per l’architettura di controllo di apprendere, e poi esibire, comportamenti e non semplici traiettorie. In tal modo, ho potuto raccogliere dati sufficienti per realizzare un’opportuna analisi.

description: Objects recognition in image is one of the most difficult problems in computer vision. It is also an important step for the implementation of several existing applications that require high-level image interpretation. Therefore, there is a growing interest in this research area during the last years. In this paper, we present an algorithm for human detection and recognition in real-time, from images taken by a CCD camera mounted on a car-like mobile robot. The proposed technique is based on Histograms of Oriented Gradient (HOG) and SVM classifier. The implementation of our detector has provided good results, and can be used in robotics tasks.

description: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an assembly of hundreds of proteins that structurally supports the cells it surrounds and biochemically regulates their functions. Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as a powerful model organism to study fundamental mechanisms underlying ECM protein secretion, ECM assembly, and ECM roles in pathophysiological processes. However, as of today, we do not possess a well-defined list of the components forming the ECM of this organism. We previously reported the development of computational pipelines to define the matrisome - the ensemble of genes encoding ECM and ECM-associated proteins - of humans, mice, zebrafish and C. elegans. Using a similar approach, we report here that our pipeline has identified 641 genes constituting the Drosophila matrisome. We further classify these genes into different structural and functional categories, including an expanded way to classify genes encoding proteins forming apical ECMs. We illustrate how having a comprehensive list of Drosophila matrisome proteins can be used to annotate large proteomic datasets and identify unsuspected roles for the ECM in pathophysiological processes. Last, to aid the dissemination and usage of the proposed definition and categorization of the Drosophila matrisome by the scientific community, our list has been made available through three public portals: The Matrisome Project (http://matrisome.org), The FlyBase (https://flybase.org/), and GLAD (https://www.flyrnai.org/tools/glad/web/).
We Are Who We Include: Inclusive Branding for Higher Education
Creators: Fell, Mary
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Higher education plays a critical role in society, creating a path for individuals and communities to better health and wellbeing. To support more diversity in higher education, brand plays a fundamental role in attracting a more diverse group of students, as well as staff and faculty, facilitating a strong sense of belonging. The role of inclusive branding is at the core of building a sense of belonging within a post-secondary institution (PSI), and can act as a catalyst to hold an institution more accountable for actions to support inclusivity and build equity. This paper is a feminist autoethnography of the brand process for NorQuest College to support their organizational strategy, NorQuest 2030: We are who we include (NorQuest, 2020). The goal of the brand for NorQuest College is to attract and build a strong sense of belonging within a more diverse group of students, critical to achieving the outcomes outlined in the organizational strategy. The brand refresh was guided by inclusivity and accessibility in order to evolve to an inclusive brand, a type of brand that takes into consideration diversity in all forms. Reflections of the brand process are shared through personal reflections, alongside a series of interviews with key executive members and equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) experts from the college, about the importance of inclusivity in higher education. As the expectations regarding inclusivity continuously evolve within society, the evolution of this brand aligns to the continuous support needed for the communities the college serves. It is also important to note the major role technology plays within an inclusive brand by creating not only the means to foster inclusivity, but also barriers that can detract. This research study is a call to action for further research on inclusive branding for higher education and other public sector organizations. Inclusive branding is a style of communications and marketing a PSI should strongly consider adopting, not only to better position the institution to more attract students, build a more diverse faculty and staff, and strengthen external partnerships, but more importantly to support diversity and inclusion within our society through inclusivity within higher education.

description: We study the role of intermediaries (brokers) in the Canadian mortgage market. In this market, consumers can search for quotes in one of two ways: on their own or via a broker. We provide descriptive evidence that borrowers who transact through brokers are different from those who do not. Broker-clients finance larger loans, are more leveraged, and are less creditworthy. After controlling for observable borrower characteristics that might explain these facts, we estimate a model of mortgage demand to disentangle two explanations for why borrowers wind up with these riskier mortgage products: (i) brokers steer borrowers towards products that are more profitable for them, and (ii) borrowers have (unobserved) preferences for riskier loans, i.e., selection on unobservables. We find that brokers steer borrowers to mortgages with longer amortization, while a borrower's own (unobservable) characteristics drive their decision for smaller down payments.
description: Nous étudions le rôle des intermédiaires (courtiers) sur le marché hypothécaire canadien. Sur ce marché, les consommateurs peuvent obtenir une offre de prêt de deux façons : par euxmêmes ou par l’entremise d’un courtier. Nous fournissons des données descriptives montrant que les emprunteurs qui font appel à un courtier ont des caractéristiques différentes de ceux qui n’y ont pas recours. Les premiers financent de plus gros prêts, sont plus endettés et sont moins solvables. Après avoir pris en compte les caractéristiques observables des emprunteurs qui sont susceptibles d’expliquer cet état de fait, nous estimons un modèle de la demande de prêts hypothécaires pour dégager deux raisons pour lesquelles les emprunteurs se retrouvent avec des produits hypothécaires plus risqués : 1) les courtiers orientent les emprunteurs vers des produits qui leur rapportent plus; 2) les emprunteurs ont une préférence (non observée) pour les prêts plus risqués, c’est-à-dire que leur choix repose sur des critères non observables qui leur sont propres. Nous constatons que les courtiers recommandent des prêts hypothécaires assortis de périodes d’amortissement plus longues, alors que les caractéristiques (non observables) des emprunteurs expliquent leur décision d’opter pour une plus petite mise de fonds.

description: In this paper, oxidation of Cu during physical sputtering deposition in a high purity and low pressure Ar atmosphere without introducing O2 gas flow was studied systemically. It was found that various flexible Cu-based films could be obtained by simply adjusting deposition parameters. Electrical and optical testing results showed that the achieved pure Cu films and Cu+Cu2O composite films both presented an intriguing combination of metal and semiconductor characteristics. It is expected that such Cu-based films with a superior conductivity and a solar-window bandgap may have fascinating potential applications such as in high electron mobility transistors, electrodes and solar cells. Further, the oxidation mechanisms of Cu under different deposition parameters and the main O2 source during physical sputtering deposition were also explored.

description: This article describes a search for high-mass resonances decaying to a pair of photons using a sample of $20.3$ fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The data are found to be in agreement with the Standard Model prediction, and limits are reported in the framework of the Randall-Sundrum model. This theory leads to the prediction of graviton states, the lightest of which could be observed at the Large Hadron Collider. A lower limit of $2.66$ ($1.41$) TeV at 95% confidence level is set on the mass of the lightest graviton for couplings of $k/\overline{M}_{\mathrm{Pl}} = 0.1$ ($0.01$).

description: On sait depuis longtemps que le béton constitue un matériau de construction à la fois durable et susceptible d' applications diverses; aussi les éléments de maçonnerie en béton sont-ils largement utilisés dans la construction des bâtiments modernes. L'exposition à des températures élevées, de l'ordre de celles qui règnent lors des incendies, peut cependant provoquer des changements marqués dans les propriétés thermiques et rhéologiques des matériaux qui constituent le béton. Aussi s'intéresse-t-on, depuis quelque temps, au comportement des éléments de maçonnerie soumis à des conditions inhabituelles telles qu'en engendrent les incendies. Le sujet du présent Digest consiste précisément dans le comportement du béton en pareille situation.

description: As digital goods and services become an integral part of modern day society, the demand for a standardized and ubiquitous form of digital currency increases. And it is not just about digital goods; the adoption of electronic and mobile commerce has not reached its expected level at all parts of the globe as expected. One of the main reasons behind that is the lack of a universal digital as well as virtual currency. Many countries in the world have failed to realize the potential of e-commerce, let alone m-commerce, because of rigid financial regulations and apparent disorientation & gap between monetary stakeholders across borders and continents. Digital currency which is internet-based, non-banks issued and circulated within a certain range of networks has brought a significant impact on the development of e-commerce. The research and analysis of this paper would focus on the feasibility of the operation of a digital currency and its economic implications.

Data Science Techniques in Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge Services
Creators: name: Summann, Friedrich
Publisher: name: Kolloquium Wissensinfrastruktur
Year: 2020

description: From 2015 to 2019, the Faculty of Linguistics and Literary Studies of Bielefeld University carried out the DFG project Kinder und Jugendliteratur im Medienverbund 1933 -1945. The University Library has developed the technical infrastructure for data acquisition, data processing and data visualisation. Based on a complex data model for describing different types of media (especially films, radio broadcasts and print editions, but also theatre performances, records, television broadcasts, advertising material) as a manifestation of literary material, the different linkages have to be worked out and visualized by visualization techniques. The lecture introduces the used approaches, methods and their implementation in detail and also reports on the use of these techniques in other digital services of the University Library. This includes in particular analyses of the global publication network in the context of bibliometric information. (Talk held in the lecture series Data Science in winter term 2019/2020 at Bielefeld University)

description: Background Human activities, including changes in agricultural landscapes, often impact biodiversity through habitat fragmentation. This potentially reduces genetic exchange between previously connected populations. Using a combination of nuclear and mitochondrial markers, we investigated (i) genetic diversity and population structure at multiple spatial scales and (ii) colony genetic structure and queen mating frequency in the ant species Temnothorax nigriceps in a highly anthropized environment. Results Although the results highlighted genetic structure on a European spatial scale, they did not reveal an impact of fragmentation on a regional scale, and we did not observe any genetic population structure on a regional scale. Across all populations, regardless of their geographical location, colony structure suggested monogyny (a single queen per colony) and monandry (single mating). However, nestmates were more related than expected, indicating that large-scale dispersal does not fully prevent genetic isolation. Conclusions Despite living in fragmented patches of habitat, populations of Temnothorax nigriceps are apparently genetically not isolated at a regional scale. However, large-scale dispersal alone does not prevent genetic isolation. The ecological requirements of T. nigriceps may explain their resilience to habitat fragmentation by allowing them to survive in very small patches of suitable habitat. The deeper investigation of the diversity of functional habitats for this species should allow to appreciate better the mechanisms permitting this species to overcome the negative impacts of fragmentation.

description: Concrete has long been recognized as a durable and versatile building material, and concrete masonry units are used widely in the construction of modern buildings. Exposure to elevated temperatures characteristic of those attained in fires, however, may induce marked changes in the thermal and rheological properties of the component materials of concrete. Because of this, attention has been focused for some time on the behaviour of masonry units under unusual circumstances such as those experienced during fires. Concrete performance in fire is the subject of this Digest.
title: Development, Implementation, and Optimization of a Modern, Subsonic/Supersonic Panel Method

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: In the early stages of aircraft design, engineers consider many different design concepts, examining the trade-offs between different component arrangements and sizes, thrust and power requirements, etc. Because so many different designs are considered, it is best in the early stages of design to use simulation tools that are fast; accuracy is secondary. A common simulation tool for early design and analysis is the panel method. Panel methods were first developed in the 1950s and 1960s with the advent of modern computers. Despite being reasonably accurate and very fast, their development was abandoned in the late 1980s in favor of more complex and accurate simulation methods. The panel methods developed in the 1980s are still in use by aircraft designers today because of their accuracy and speed. However, they are cumbersome to use and limited in applicability. The purpose of this work is to reexamine panel methods in a modern context. In particular, this work focuses on the application of panel methods to supersonic aircraft (a supersonic aircraft is one that flies faster than the speed of sound). Various aspects of the panel method, including the distributions of the unknown flow variables on the surface of the aircraft and efficiently solving for these unknowns, are discussed. Trade-offs between alternative formulations are examined and recommendations given. This work also serves to bring together, clarify, and condense much of the literature previously published regarding panel methods so as to assist future developers of panel methods.
Estimation of extended mixed models using latent classes and latent processes: the R package lcmm

description: The R package lcmm provides a series of functions to estimate statistical models based on linear mixed model theory. It includes the estimation of mixed models and latent class mixed models for Gaussian longitudinal outcomes (hlme), curvilinear and ordinal univariate longitudinal outcomes (lcmm) and curvilinear multivariate outcomes (multlcmm), as well as joint latent class mixed models (Jointlcmm) for a (Gaussian or curvilinear) longitudinal outcome and a time-to-event that can be possibly left-truncated right-censored and defined in a competing setting. Maximum likelihood esimators are obtained using a modified Marquardt algorithm with strict convergence criteria based on the parameters and likelihood stability, and on the negativity of the second derivatives. The package also provides various post-fit functions including goodness-of-fit analyses, classification, plots, predicted trajectories, individual dynamic prediction of the event and predictive accuracy assessment. This paper constitutes a companion paper to the package by introducing each family of models, the estimation technique, some implementation details and giving examples through a dataset on cognitive aging.
Use of X-ray scattering functions in Kramers-Kronig analysis of reflectance

description: Kramers-Kronig analysis is commonly used to estimate the optical properties of new materials. The analysis typically uses data from far infrared through near ultraviolet (say, 40--40,000 cm$^{-1}$ or 5 mev--5 eV) and uses extrapolations outside the measured range. Most high-frequency extrapolations use a power law, 1/$ω^n$, transitioning to $1/ω^{4}$ at a considerably higher frequency and continuing this free-carrier extension to infinity. The mid-range power law is adjusted to match the slope of the data and to give pleasing curves, but the choice of power (usually between 0.5 and 3) is arbitrary. Instead of an arbitrary power law, it is is better to use X-ray atomic scattering functions such as those presented by Henke and co-workers. These basically treat the solid as a linear combinations of its atomic constituents and, knowing the chemical formula and the density, allow the computation of dielectric function, reflectivity, and other optical functions. The "Henke reflectivity" can be used over photon energies of 10 eV--34 keV, after which a $1/ω^{4}$ continuation is perfectly fine. The bridge between experimental data and the Henke reflectivity as well as two corrections that needed to be made to the latter are discussed.

description: Diradicals have been of tremendous interest for over a century ever since the first reports of p ‐ and m ‐phenylene‐bridged diphenylmethylradicals in 1904 by Thiele and 1915 by Schlenk. Reported here are the first examples of cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) analogues of Thiele's hydrocarbon, a Kekulé diradical, and Schlenk's hydrocarbon, a non‐Kekulé diradical, without using CAAC as a precursor. The CAAC analogue of Thiele's hydrocarbon has a singlet ground state, whereas the CAAC analogue of Schlenk's hydrocarbon contains two unpaired electrons. The latter forms a dimer, by an intermolecular double head‐to‐tail dimerization. This straightforward synthetic methodology is modular and can be extended for the generation of redox‐active organic compounds.
