description: Abstract

Due to anomalous changes and for the management of the environment, monitoring and surveillance of animal species is a crucial duty. Because increasing environmental change puts many animal species in danger, a detailed understanding of the intricacy of the natural environment would be preferable. Installing technological systems with the knowledge to address the issues mentioned earlier is necessary for the best protection of wild animals and the best monitoring of livestock. This article offers the ResNet50 model, built on deep learning and trained using SVMs as a classifier. This work combines the SVM classifier with several deep-learning models, including VGG_16, VGG_19, ResnNet101, DensNet121, and Mobil Net. Similar to the previous approach, this one uses support vector machines to classify birds after extracting their characteristics. The SoftMax layer is swapped out for SVM in the suggested techniques. Using images of birds, the performance of the employed models is evaluated. Support vector machines are utilized to categorize the appearances of birds in images after a ResNet50 architecture is developed to simulate their looks. Instead of using the SoftMax approach, this technique supports vector machines for a more reliable and accurate categorization of bird images. Then, another deep learning approach was created based on support vector machines, including VGG_16, VGG_19, ResnNet101, DensNet121, and Mobil Net. The suggested approaches offer improved accuracy compared to conventional methods because support vector machines are more potent classifiers than SoftMax. The performance results demonstrate that the suggested models perform better than the standard deep learning, such as VGG_16, VGG_19, and ResNet101, DensNet121, and Mobil Net-based SVM models.

description: This paper is about shipping runtime verification to the masses. It presents the crucial technology enabling everyday car owners to monitor the behaviour of their cars in-the-wild. Concretely, we present an Android app that deploys RTLola runtime monitors for the purpose of diagnosing automotive exhaust emissions. For this, it harvests the availability of cheap bluetooth adapters to the On-Board-Diagnostics (OBD) ports, which are ubiquitous in cars nowadays. We detail its use in the context of Real Driving Emissions (RDE) tests and report on sample runs that helped identify violations of the regulatory framework currently valid in the European Union.
Venezia e il riscatto degli schiavi in Età Moderna, secc. XVI-XVIII

Subjects: M-STO/02 Storia moderna

description: Lo scopo del lavoro è di seguire, attraverso la disamina di fonti edite e inedite, le particolarità che, in età moderna, caratterizzarono la “via veneziana” al riscatto dei sudditi veneti che fossero detenuti a vario titolo dai “turchi”, e soprattutto dagli stati «barbareschi» della costa settentrionale africana.
In particolare, lo studio si propone di concentrarsi sull'azione dei Provveditori sopra ospedali e luoghi pii. Tale magistratura, formata da tre patrizi ed esistente fin dal 1561 per tutelare gli ospedali maggiori veneziani e le molte altre istituzioni di ricovero esistenti in città, e nel contempo vigilare sulla loro corretta gestione amministrativa ed economica, dal 1588 e fino alla caduta della Repubblica nel 1797 fu incaricata anche del riscatto, aggiungendo quindi alla propria precedente denominazione la formula e al riscatto degli schiavi. A un organo dello Stato veniva dunque assegnata una funzione di controllo e superiore organizzazione, volta ad evitare il disperdersi delle sollecitate donazioni private ed un’eventuale scorretta gestione delle stesse.
Il lavoro si focalizza poi sulle modalità con cui avveniva materialmente il riscatto dei sudditi veneti, o “esteri” ma al servizio veneto, che versassero in una condizione di bisogno, seguendo l'azione degli intermediari (spesso mercanti, cristiani o ebrei, o consoli di varie nazioni) che vivevano o si recavano nel territorio delle Reggenze nordafricane e contrattavano il prezzo necessario.
Infine la ricerca, concentrandosi sul XVIII secolo, mira a valutare il quadro dei rapporti tra il governo veneziano, la Scuola veneziana della Trinità, dedita al riscatto, e i padri Trinitari, stabilitisi nel 1723 negli Stati veneti. Solo abbastanza tardi, infatti, e per un limitato arco di anni (fino al 1735), anche Venezia, sulla scorta di quanto da tempo praticato da altre potenze europee, decise – per ragioni principalmente di risparmio – di affidarsi per la gestione delle operazioni di riscatto ai religiosi.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate a possible relation between skeletal phenotypes and virtual mounting data in orthognathic surgery patients. A retrospective cohort study including 323 female (26.1 ± 8.7 years) and 191 male (27.9 ± 8.3 years) orthognathic surgery patients was conducted. A k-means cluster analysis was performed on the mounting parameters: the angle 𝛼 between the upper occlusal plane (uOP) and the axis orbital plane (AOP); the perpendicular distance (AxV) from the uOP to the hinge axis; and the horizontal length (AxH) of the uOP from upper incisor edge to AxV, with subsequent statistical analysis of related cepalometric values. Three clusters of mounting data were identified, representing three skeletal phenotypes: (1) balanced face with marginal skeletal class II or III and 𝛼=8∘, AxV = 36 mm and AxH = 99 mm; (2) vertical face with skeletal class II and 𝛼=11∘, AxV = 27 mm and AxH = 88 mm; (3) horizontal face with class III and 𝛼=2∘, AxV = 36 mm and AxH = 86 mm. The obtained data on the position of the hinge axis can be applied to any digital planning in orthognathic surgery using CBCT or a virtual articulator, provided that the case can be clearly assigned to one of the calculated clusters.

description: The impending spectrum congestion imposed by the emergence of new bandwidth-thirsty applications may be mitigated by the integration of radar and classic communications functionalities in a common system. Furthermore, the merger of a sensing component into wireless communication networks has raised interest in recent years and it may become a compelling design objective for 6G. This article presents the evolution of the hitherto separate radar and communication systems towards their amalgam known as a joint radar and communication (RADCOM) system. Explicitly, we propose to integrate a radio sensing component into 6G. We consider an ultra-dense network (UDN) scenario relying on an active multistatic radar configuration and on cooperation between the access points across the entire coverage area. The technological trends required to reach a feasible integration, the applications anticipated and the open research challenges are identified, with an emphasis on high-accuracy network synchronization. The successful integration of these technologies would facilitate centimeter-level resolution, hence supporting compelling high-resolution applications for next-generation networks, such as robotic cars and industrial assembly lines.

title: Using Social Cues to Influence Fruit and Vegetable Intake in College Students
Creators: name: Nix, Elizabeth A
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: People often base their behaviors on social norms—what they think others do or approve of. This is likely true of fruit and vegetable (FV) intake as well. College students typically don’t get enough FV. We attempted to encourage FV eating by providing students with messages or demonstrations that eating FV is normal. First, we tried to encourage FV intake by providing students with messages regarding the average skin carotenoid concentration and where they fit within their peers (Chapter II). Carotenoids are compounds found in FV that cannot be made by the body, making them an estimate of FV intake. We found that students did not increase their self-reported FV intake or skin carotenoids as a result of these social norms messages, messages about the recommendation for FV or no message at all. We then added an approval/disapproval message (as ☺︎, :| or ☹︎ ) to the average carotenoid scores and where a student fit within their peers’ scores (Chapter V). This resulted in small increases in self-reported FV intake and skin carotenoids for those receiving the approval/disapproval message and those who only got information about the average score of their peers and where they fit within the average. To test whether self-report was influenced by messages regarding social norms, we sent out messages telling students they were lower than average—whether this was true or not, higher than average, providing the recommendation for FV, no message. Those told they were lower than their peers reported a half-cup increase in FV intake immediately after receiving the message. Finally, we attempted to influence student’s FV intake by having other students come into a weekly class, pose as students in the class and eat vegetables (Chapter III). We found that those exposed to these vegetable-eating students were no more likely to increase FV than those not exposed to it. Overall, we found very small or no effects from any of the included studies and that self-reported FV intake should be interpreted with caution. Interventions that include other factors, such as time, cost, availability or knowledge/skills, might increase FV more than social norms alone.

The resulting non-linear Schrödinger equation is solved analytically in the Thomas-Fermi approximation neglecting the kinetic energy term. We present results for the chemical potential and the condensate profiles, discuss boundary conditions, and compare to the usual Thomas-Fermi approach. We discuss several ways to increase the influence of effective-range corrections in experiment with magnetically tunable interactions. The level of tuning required could be inside experimental reach in the near future.

description: We present a plane-wave basis set implementation of charge constrained density functional molecular dynamics (CDFT-MD) for simulation of electron transfer reactions in condensed phase systems. Following earlier work of Wu et al. Phys. Rev. A 72, 024502 (2005), the density functional is minimized under the constraint that the charge difference between donor and acceptor is equal to a given value. The classical ion dynamics is propagated on the Born-Oppenheimer surface of the charge constrained state. We investigate the dependence of the constrained energy and of the energy gap on the definition of the charge, and present expressions for the constraint forces. The method is applied to the Ru2+-Ru3+ electron self-exchange reaction in aqueous solution. Sampling the vertical energy gap along CDFT-MD trajectories, and correcting for finite size effects, a reorganization free energy of 1.6 eV is obtained. This is 0.1-0.2 eV lower than a previous estimate based on a continuum model for solvation. smaller value for reorganization free energy can be explained by fact that the Ru-O distances of the divalent and trivalent Ru-hexahydrates are predicted to be more similar in the electron transfer complex than for the separated aqua-ions.

description: We present the results of a high resolution optical spectroscopic study of nine white dwarf candidate members of Praesepe undertaken with the VLT and UVES. We find, contrary to a number of previous studies, that WD0836+201 (LB390, EG59) and WD0837+199 (LB393, EG61) are magnetic and non-magnetic white dwarfs respectively. Subsequently, we determine the radial velocities for the eight non-magnetic degenerates and provide compelling evidence that WD0837+185 is a radial velocity variable and possibly a double-degenerate system. We also find that our result for WD0837+218, in conjunction with its projected spatial location and position in initial mass-final mass space, argues it is more likely to be a field star than a cluster member. After eliminating these two white dwarfs, and WD0836+199 which has no clean SDSS photometry, we use the remaining 5 stars to substantiate modern theoretical mass-radius relations for white dwarfs. In light of our new results we re-examine the white dwarf members of Praesepe and use them to further constrain the initial mass-final mass relation. We find a a near monotonic IFMR, which can still be adequately represented by simple linear function with only one outlier which may have formed from a blue straggler star.

description: Abstract

This study investigates teachers' perspectives on using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to enhance the learning of challenging geography topics among lower secondary students in Malaysian schools. Using a qualitative survey approach, data were collected from 30 experienced geography teachers through open-ended questionnaires, and five teachers were interviewed in depth. The study identifies the geographical topics challenging for lower secondary students, with topography maps (26.7%), drainage systems (20%), and landforms in Southeast Asia (13.3%) emerging as the most problematic areas. It explores various ICT approaches employed by teachers, with mobile technologies (40%) and educational games (26.7%) followed by interactive whiteboards (20%). The study reveals that interactive videos, geospatial technologies like Google Earth, and gamification significantly enhance student interest and understanding of complex geographical concepts. The findings highlight the potential of ICT in transforming geography education, making it more engaging and accessible. This research provides important information for curriculum design, teacher training, and educational policy, emphasizing the need for systematic integration of appropriate technologies in geography education.

The child is the father to the man : a structural analysis of Jean-Paul Sartre’s Les mots
Creators: name: Stefanovich, Slobodan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The thesis itself consists of the claim that Jean-Paul Sartre's autobiography, "Les mots" - although a literary work par excellence - is basically a philosophical work wherein the author has applied to himself his proposed synthesis of Marxist and Existentialist/psychoanalytic thought, as elaborated in his earlier, philosophical work "Critique de la raison dialectique". The method we proposed to employ in our analysis is a structural method, which in our opinion more than any other method, allows the critic to achieve a certain logical consistence and hence coherence, and whose result can always be validated by referring it back to, and comparing with, the work analyzed. In an attempt to present a more detailed explanation and definition of our proposed method of analysis, in Chapter I we discuss the most important concepts of structuralism (sign, signification, value of sign, connotative and metalanguage systems), as well as relate these to literature and literary criticism. Chapter II analyzes the structuration of the narrative of Sartre's work. In order to classify its signifiers, functions - as the smallest narrative, syntagmatic unities - are analyzed. These are grouped into two classes, which according to "Critique de la raison dialectique" represent the two most important aspects in studying history of an individual. The first class studies the family influence on the young Sartre, whereas the second one analyzes his reactions, in their various forms, to the social and physical environment in which he lived. After analyzing the syntagmatic unities of the narrative (Chapter II), in Chapter III the functions are grouped into larger, this time paradigmatic unities (the level of Actions), after which the highest level of Sartre's narrative, that of Narration, is analyzed. In other words, this chapter contains an analysis "both of the main characters of Sartre's autobiography, and that of the narrative techniques employed by the author. The latter in fact represent the three main aspects of Sartre's analytico-synthetic progressive-regressive method on which the whole structure of "Les mots" is based. In Chapter IV Sartre's autobiography is analyzed in its totality, by showing that the meaning is generated through the different levels of the narrative and their interrelatedness. The various levels of meaning of "Les mots" are analyzed by relating them to the main philosophical categories from "Critique de la raison dialectique": alienation, project, progressive-regressive method, comprehension, etc., discussing the different forms in which these have been employed in the autobiography itself.
title: American Proto-Zionism and the "Book of Lehi": Recontextualizing the Rise of Mormonism
Creators: name: Bradley, Don
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Although historians generally view early Mormonism as a movement focused on restoring Christianity to its pristine New Testament state, in the Mormon movement’s first phase (1827-28) it was actually focused on restoring Judaism to its pristine “Old Testament” state and reconstituting the Jewish nation as it had existed before the Exile.
Mormonism’s first scripture, “the Book of Lehi” (the first part of the Book of Mormon), disappeared shortly after its manuscript was produced. But evidence about its contents shows it to have had restoring Judaism and the Jewish nation to their pre-Exilic condition to have been one of its major themes. And statements by early Mormons at the time the Book of Lehi manuscript was produced show they were focused on “confirming the Old Testament” and “gathering” the Jews to an American New Jerusalem.
This Judaic emphasis in earliest Mormonism appears to have been shaped by a set of movements in the same time and place (New York State in the 1820s) that I am calling “American proto-Zionism,” which aimed to colonize Jews in the United States. The early Mormon movement can be considered part of American proto-Zionism and was influenced by developments in early nineteenth century American Judaism.

description: Quantum interference of helicity amplitudes provides a powerful tool for measuring the spins of new particles. By looking at the azimuthal angular dependence of the differential cross-section in the production followed by decay of a new particle species one can determine its spin by looking at the various cosine modes. The heavy spin-2 Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton provides a unique signature with a $\cos{(4 ϕ)}$ mode. We study the feasibility of this approach to measuring the spin of the KK graviton in the Randall-Sundrum Model at the LHC.

description: The isospin dependence of the saturation properties of asymmetric nuclear matter, particularly the incompressibility $K_\infty (X) = K_\infty + K_τX^2 + O(X^4)$ at saturation density is systematically studied using density dependent M3Y interaction. The $K_τ$ characterizes the isospin dependence of the incompressibility at saturation density $ρ_0$. The approximate expression $K_{asy} \approx K_{sym}-6L$ is often used for $K_τ$ where $L$ and $K_{sym}$ represent, respectively, the slope and curvature parameters of the symmetry energy at $ρ_0$. It can be expressed accurately as $K_τ=K_{sym}-6L-\frac{Q_0}{K_\infty}L$ where $Q_0$ is the third-order derivative parameter of symmetric nuclear matter at $ρ_0$. The results of this addendum to Phys. Rev. C 80, 011305(R) (2009) indicate that the $Q_0$ contribution to $K_τ$ is not insignificant.

description: Continuous variables multipartite entanglement is a key resource for quantum technologies. This works considers the multipartite entanglement generated in separated spatial modes of the same light beam by three different parametric sources: a standard $χ^{(2)}$ medium pumped by two pumps, a single-pump nonlinear photonic crystal, and a doubly pumped nonlinear photonic crystal. These sources have in common the coexistence of several concurrent nonlinear processes in the same medium, which allows the generation of non-standard 3 and 4-mode couplings. We test the genuine nature of the multipartite entangled states thereby generated in a common framework, using both criteria based on proper bounds for the variances of nonlocal observables and on the positive partial transpose criterion. The relative simplicity of these states allows a (hopefully) useful comparison of the different inseparability tests.

description: Plasmodium of \emph{Physarum polycephalum} is a single huge (visible by naked eye) cell with myriad of nuclei. The plasmodium is a promising substrate for non-classical, nature-inspired, computing devices. It is capable for approximation of shortest path, computation of planar proximity graphs and plane tessellations, primitive memory and decision-making. The unique properties of the plasmodium make it an ideal candidate for a role of amorphous biological robots with massive parallel information processing and distributed inputs and outputs. We show that when adhered to light-weight object resting on a water surface the plasmodium can propel the object by oscillating its protoplasmic pseudopodia. In experimental laboratory conditions and computational experiments we study phenomenology of the plasmodium-floater system, and possible mechanisms of controlling motion of objects propelled by on board plasmodium.
title: Occasional Liturgy in the Henrician Reformation

description: King Henry VIII (1487-1547) famously severed ties with Roman Catholocism and nationalized the church in England in order to secure an annulment from his wife. His decision instigated the Henrician Reformation (1527-1547), a subset of the English Reformation. The king assumed the title 'Supreme Head of the English Church' and vested himself with the power to reform his country's church/ Occasional liturgies - the formal religious ceremonies surrounding birth, marriage, and death - were prime opportunities to publicly display new doctrines and procedures. Instead, these rituals changed surprisingly little and largely mirrored the pageantry performed by his parents.
Two conclusions are drawn from the results. First, the modern perception of Henry VIII as an all-powerful rebel is challenged due to his careful observance of the liturgy in order to achieve a desired outcome, whether it be a proper christening, wedding, or state funeral. Second, these royal rituals are shown to not only demonstrate religious beliefs, but also social and political realities as well. These two principles add complexity to understanding the course of the Henrician Reformation.

description: Abstract

The present study attempts to analyse the impact of strategic internal communication (SIC) on employee performance (EP) and the mediating role of employee engagement (EE). Data from 612 associates in public and private sector organizations (selected from most contributing industries to GDP) was gathered using a cross-sectional approach. All three constructs were reflective (first and second order). The indirect effect of SIC→EE→EP was moderately significant (β = 0.19, p < .000), while the direct effect of SIC on EP was highly significant (β = 0.45, p < .000). Employee Engagement was found to mediate the SIC-EP relationship moderately. The study assessed two models (No Mediation and With Mediation) to determine the mediator's impact (Sarstedt and Moisescu, 2023). Results indicate EE as a significant mediator. The study is unique in two ways. First, Strategic Internal Communication which is a popular concept with internal communication practitioners is hardly studied in academic literature. This paper provides an empirical investigation using this concept. Second, testing the quality of the mediated model against the original model to ascertain if the mediator is required to be introduced (recent statistical revelation) is checked in this paper.
title: Assessment of a Seedling-Based Approach to Aspen Restoration in the Intermountain West

description: Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) is an important species ecologically and culturally in the western U.S., where it is one of the only broadleaf trees in the mostly conifer-dominated forests. Aspen management in the West has focused on regenerating existing stands vegetatively through root suckering, however this approach is restricted to locations where aspen currently exists and limits the genetic diversity of aspen populations. Planting nursery-grown aspen seedlings offers a potential method for overcoming these limitations, but it has received little attention in the U.S. Intermountain West (IW) to date. In order for this approach to be more broadly implemented, nursery protocols designed to grow high-quality aspen seedlings are needed, along with an understanding of what the major challenges to seedling establishment will be.
With the assistance of my committee, my research tested a seedling-based approach to aspen restoration in an IW context in two phases. I first used nursery protocols developed for boreal aspen to grow seedlings collected from IW sources in order to assess whether modification of the protocols would be necessary. I then planted the seedlings I grew at three sites in southwestern Utah and monitored their growth and survival over two years. Results from the nursery phase suggest that protocols will need to be modified in order to produce a more consistent response from IW aspen seedlings. In the field, only 10% of the seedlings survived, though the majority of survival occurred in just two locations where soil moisture remained highest during the driest part of the early summer. These results provide useful information to direct future research and suggest that with a better understanding of appropriate site selection, seedling-based aspen restoration could still become a viable management tool in the IW.

description: ARSINOE is an EU-funded project aimed at developing the methodological framework for the combination of System Innovation Approach (SIA) with the Climate Innovation Window (CIW) to create an ecosystem for climate change adaptation solutions. The project will work to create this ecosystem with a three-tier, approach show-cased in nine widely varied regions across Europe (demonstrators), as a proof of concept with regards to its applicability, replicability, potential and efficacy. Challenges for water resources management in Bavaria – the „Main River“ case study: • RATIONALE - Region is at risk for being pushed beyond its resilience threshold and will need a new level of responsiveness to cope with climate change. • BARRIERS - Limited awareness on severity of regional climate change impacts; Science-society-policy interface operates below capacity; CC related innovations and methodologies propagate too slow into practice; Responsibilities in preparing/responding to CC between private and public bodies remains vague and requires a harmonized structure. • Climate change induced changes on the hydrology in Bavaria (results from the ClimEx project; www.climex-project.eu) Acknowledgements: The CRCM5 was developed by the ESCER centre of Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM; www.escer.uqam.ca) in collaboration with Environment and Climate Change Canada. We acknowledge Environment and Climate Change Canada's Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis for executing and making available the CanESM2 Large Ensemble simulations used in this study, and the Canadian Sea Ice and Snow Evolution Network for proposing the simulations.

description: We investigate the temporal evolution of magnetic flux emerging within a granule in the quiet-Sun internetwork at disk center. We combined IR spectropolarimetry performed in two Fe I lines at 1565 nm with speckle-reconstructed G-band imaging. We determined the magnetic field parameters by a LTE inversion of the full Stokes vector using the SIR code, and followed their evolution in time. To interpret the observations, we created a geometrical model of a rising loop in 3D. The relevant parameters of the loop were matched to the observations where possible. We then synthesized spectra from the 3D model for a comparison to the observations. We found signatures of magnetic flux emergence within a growing granule. In the early phases, a horizontal magnetic field with a distinct linear polarization signal dominated the emerging flux. Later on, two patches of opposite circular polarization signal appeared symmetrically on either side of the linear polarization patch, indicating a small loop-like structure. The mean magnetic flux density of this loop was roughly 450 G, with a total magnetic flux of around 3x10^17 Mx. During the ~12 min episode of loop occurrence, the spatial extent of the loop increased from about 1 to 2 arcsec. The middle part of the appearing feature was blueshifted during its occurrence, supporting the scenario of an emerging loop. The temporal evolution of the observed spectra is reproduced to first order by the spectra derived from the geometrical model. The observed event can be explained as a case of flux emergence in the shape of a small-scale loop.

description: We have studied surface morphology and magnetic properties of Fe/MgO(001) films deposited at an angle varying between 0o and 60o with respect to the surface normal and with azimuth along the Fe[010] or the Fe[110] direction. Due to shadowing, elongated grains appear on the film surface for deposition at sufficiently large angle. X-ray reflectivity reveals that, depending on the azimuthal direction, films become either rougher or smoother for oblique deposition. For deposition along Fe[010] the pronounced uniaxial magnetic anisotropy (UMA) results in the occurrence of reversed two-step and of three-step hysteresis loops. For deposition along Fe[110] the growth-induced UMA is much weaker, causing a small rotation of the easy axes.
