description: The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) represents a window of audio samples as a set of complex coefficients. These are advantageously viewed as magnitudes and phases and the overall distribution of phases is very often assumed to be uniform. We show that when audio signal STFT phase distributions are analyzed per-frequency or per-magnitude range, they can be far from uniform. That is, the uniform phase distribution assumption obscures significant important details. We explain the significance of the nonuniform phase distributions and how they might be exploited, derive their source, and explain why the choice of the STFT window shape influences the nonuniformity of the resulting phase distributions.
Influence of magnetic field on beta-processes in neutrino-driven supernova explosion

description: In a neutrino-driven supernova explosion, beta-processes are responsible for the energy deposition to the stagnated shock wave. We investigate an influence of a magnetic field on beta-processes under conditions of a core-collapse supernova. For realistic magnetic fields reachable in astrophysical objects, we obtain simple analytical expressions for reaction rates of beta-processes as well as energy and momentum transferred from neutrino and antineutrinos to the matter. In numerical estimations, we use results of one-dimensional simulations of a supernova explosion. We found that, in the magnetic field with the strength $B \sim 10^{15}$ G, the quantities considered are modified by several percents only and, as a consequence, the magnetic-field effects can be safely ignored, considering neutrino interaction and propagation in a supernova matter.

A new approach for tabulated and simplified assessment of fire resistance of concrete beams: the yield force method.

description: Tabulated data is commonly used for a fast evaluation of the fire resistance of reinforced concrete beams. This tabulated data is however limited in the number of configurations listed, and does not allow to take into account the load level (utilization). Especially for the assessment of existing structures, a fast and more flexible approach for evaluating the fire resistance can be beneficial. Taking advantage of the wide availability of modern data storage and retrieval tools, a new calculation method is proposed which relies on precalculated temperature profiles and concrete lever arm data. The method is referred to as the “yield force method” since the core underlying assumption is reinforcement yielding in the fire limit state. The calculation has been elaborated for a single case study, indicating a very precise assessment of the bending moment capacity, as compared with the bending moment capacity obtained through a full nonlinear numerical calculation. For the investigated case, a maximum error of 5% was obtained. As the error is on the non-conservative side, the presented evaluations suggest that multiplying the capacity obtained with the yield force method with a factor of 0.95 is sufficient for reliably obtaining a conservative assessment of the bending moment capacity in fire. Thanks to its computational efficiency, the method also has specific potential for application in probabilistic calculations.

Darüber hinaus stammen Bachs Bearbeitungen und teilweise neue Kompositionen auf der Grundlage von Sätzen aus Reinkens Sonatensammlung "Hortus musicus" (1689) aus einer früheren Periode als bisher berichtet. Daraus ergibt sich ein neuer Blick auf die kompositorische Entwicklung des jungen Bachs insbesondere vor 1710. (Übertragung des englischen Resümees am Ende des Bandes)

description: Excerpt from the report Summary: Total farm power available to farmers increased from about 40 million horsepower in 1920 to 385 million in 1962. Tractor horsepower (maximum belt) increased from 5,000,000 to 162 million during this same period. The demand for additional new tractors evolved from many individual farmers maintaining or adding to their stock of tractors. In this report, a single-equation regression model is used to explain aggregate tractor horsepower purchases for the United States between 1920 and 1962. Tractor horsepower purchases are expressed as a function of economic, technological, and personal preference variables. They include tractor horsepower on hand, crop production, ratio of tractor prices to prices received for products sold, size of new tractors purchased, age of tractors, and number of farms.

Model-Based Testing of Object-Oriented Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper discusses a model-based approach to testing as a vital part of software development. It argues that an approach using models as central development artifact needs to be added to the portfolio of software engineering techniques, to further increase efficiency and flexibility of the development as well as quality and reusability of results. Then test case modeling is examined in depth and related to an evolutionary approach to model transformation. A number of test patterns is proposed that have proven helpful to the design of testable object-oriented systems. In contrast to other approaches, this approach uses explicit models for test cases instead of trying to derive (many) test cases from a single model.

Brazil nut harvesting in Peruvian Amazonia from the perspective of ecosystem services
Creators: name: Kalliola, Risto
name: Flores, Pedro
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Brazil nuts are harvested from the primary rainforests in the Amazonian lowlands as a direct form of sustainably using the region’s biological resources. We analyze the ecological economics of Brazil nut production in the Peruvian region of Madre de Dios where nut extraction occurs on hundreds of small-holder concessions operating under long-term agreements. This activity sustains locally important economies that suffer from small volumes and high seasonality. The size and the remoteness of the NTFP concession determine much of its profitability to concessionaires. Seasonality of the harvest generates short-term income peaks for the majority of collectors. The fragility of the Brazil nut economy in the region is compounded by volatile market prices and the overall development pressures in Amazonia, which usually involve deforestation. Although the current regulatory mechanisms in Peru encourage long-term Brazil nut production in concessions, the income level is seldom high enough to help concession-owners to rise from poverty. Auxiliary financial support based on compensations for the non-valued ecosystem services provided by the forest-covered Brazil nut concessions could change the picture. Funds for these could come from international instruments like those of carbon emission control or debt for nature swaps. Green marketing could be developed to consider payments supporting ecosystem values as well as mechanisms supporting indigenous communities working with Brazil nuts. Appropriate indicators are needed to optimize those management, policy and trading conditions that best help to preserve the invaluable ecosystem functions and services. Keywords: non-timber forest products concessions, Brazil nuts, Peruvian Amazonia, payment for ecosystem services, capture of carbon, REDD.

description: This is number twenty-six of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the preservation and repair of historic log buildings.. The intent of this Brief is to present a concise history and description of the diversity of American log buildings and to provide basic guidance regarding their preservation and maintenance. A log building is defined as a building whose structural walls are composed of horizontally laid or vertically positioned logs. While this Brief will focus upon horizontally-laid, corner-notched log construction, and, in particular, houses as a building type, the basic approach to preservation presented here, as well as many of the physical treatments, can be applied to virtually any kind of log structure.

Comparative Analysis of Pretrained Audio Representations in Music Recommender Systems

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Information Retrieval (cs.IR)

description: Over the years, Music Information Retrieval (MIR) has proposed various models pretrained on large amounts of music data. Transfer learning showcases the proven effectiveness of pretrained backend models with a broad spectrum of downstream tasks, including auto-tagging and genre classification. However, MIR papers generally do not explore the efficiency of pretrained models for Music Recommender Systems (MRS). In addition, the Recommender Systems community tends to favour traditional end-to-end neural network learning over these models. Our research addresses this gap and evaluates the applicability of six pretrained backend models (MusicFM, Music2Vec, MERT, EncodecMAE, Jukebox, and MusiCNN) in the context of MRS. We assess their performance using three recommendation models: K-nearest neighbours (KNN), shallow neural network, and BERT4Rec. Our findings suggest that pretrained audio representations exhibit significant performance variability between traditional MIR tasks and MRS, indicating that valuable aspects of musical information captured by backend models may differ depending on the task. This study establishes a foundation for further exploration of pretrained audio representations to enhance music recommendation systems.
"Deep Survival": Experience of some who lived when they might have died in the 7 February 2009 Bushfires

description: As a result of the 7 February 2009 (‘Black Saturday’) bushfires, 173 Victorians perished in Australia’s worst bushfire disaster to date. In the aftermath, attention has been focused largely on these fatalities. We argue that important lessons can also be learned from the experiences of those who did not perish, but lived despite being on the margin of survivability during the extreme conditions. Transcripts of 301 interviews with survivors, conducted by members of the Bushfire CRC Taskforce for the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, were re-examined. It was judged that 33 of those interviewed survived conditions so adverse that they might well have died. It was concluded, tentatively, that the major contributor to “deep survival” by the majority of these interviewees was that they were able to maintain their mental focus on acting in such a way as to maximize their chances of surviving the extreme environment. Analysis of the interview transcripts suggests that in spite of physical distress and the pressing danger of their situation, they: (a) retained control over fear; and (b) maintained their attentional focus on the major threats to life and the implications of these threats for actions.

description: 24. Horniella gigas Yin and Li, new species
Figs 40 B, 42; Map 6
Type material (1 ♂). Holotype, ♂, labeled ‘ Malaysia: Sabah, Batu, Punggul Resort env., 24.vi–01.vii.1996, 11c, vegetation debris and forest floor litter accumulated around large trees near river / Holotype [red], ♂, Horniella gigas sp. n., det. Yin & Li, 2014, MHNG’
Description. Male (Fig. 40 B). Length 4.09 mm. Head distinctly longer than wide, HL 0.88 mm, HW 0.68 mm; anterolateral genal projections (Fig. 42 C) weakly indicated; median sulcus between antennal tubercles short; scapes (Fig. 42 B) lacking expansion at lateral margins; clubs (Fig. 42 A) formed by apical three antennomeres, each distinctly elongate; venter lacking lateral spines (Fig. 42 D). Maxillary palpomeres II greatly elongate, slightly broadened at apical 1/3. Each eye composed of about 45 facets. Pronotum longer than wide, PL 0.96 mm, PW 0.59 mm. Elytra wider than long, EL 1.02 mm, EW 1.47 mm; discal striae reaching apical 4/5 of elytral length. Protrochanters (Fig. 42 E) each with short ventral spine, profemora (Fig. 42 E) each with two tiny ventral denticles at base and basal 1/3, protibiae (Fig. 42 F), mesotrochanters, mesofemora (Fig. 42 G), and mesotibiae (Fig. 42 H) simple; tarsomeres II extending to midlength of tarsomeres III. Abdomen large, AL 1.23 mm, AW 1.47 mm, tergite IV (first visible tergite) with median carina extending to apical 2/4 of tergal length, lacking lateral discal carinae, tergites V and VI with median carina extending to more than apical 2/3 of tergal length. Sternite IX (Fig. 42 I) nearly oval, with well-sclerotized apical portion and less sclerotized basal portion. AeL 0.76 mm; aedeagus (Figs 42 J–L) with relatively stout, nearly symmetric median lobe, oblique apex strongly narrowed; endophallus composed single broad and elongate sclerite with basal half membranous.
Female. Unknown.
Differential diagnosis. The H. gigas group is based on this species. The large body size (4.0 mm) and the presence of a pair of membranous parameres of the male quickly separate it from H. pilosa and H. smetanai. Both of the latter species are smaller than 3.7 mm, and the parameres are lacking on their aedeagi. The presence of parameres in H. gigas is exceptional in Horniella, and has led to an expansion of the concept of the genus.
Distribution. East Malaysia: Sabah (Map 6).
Collection notes. The single males was taken from plant debris and forest floor litter that had accumulated around large trees near a river.
Etymology. The Greek word ‘ gigas ’ means ‘a giant’, referring to the large body size of the new species.

description: The pursuit of progress has been a distinct feature of civilization at least over the last three hundred years. Yet the appeal of progress is now in decline. Many attribute several major problems we face today to our relentless pursuit of progress, including the degradation of the environment and climate change, the growing gap between the rich and the poor, the increasing control of governments over the life of their citizens, social instability, economic decline, and much else. Widespread criticism has raised fundamental questions about progress that even relatively recently we would not dare to raise without risking our intellectual credibility. The intense questioning encourages, indeed necessitates, a revisiting of the theory and practice of our pursuit of progress. This article represents an attempt at re-examining some critical issues that are related to progress. There are several questions to be addressed in the following pages: Is progress really necessary? What fundamental purpose does it serve? Can our civilization survive without progressing? Does progress have roots in nature or is it merely a human fancy? In answering these questions, this article will explain the important relationship between our idea and practice of progress, on one hand, and nature, on the other. It will show that progress is not a human fancy; it has deep roots in the evolution of nature and the universe. Substantive criticisms should not only point to mistakes and flaws. They should also lead to alternatives. This article will conclude by outlining some fundamental principles to be used in reshaping our progressive practice. The main feature of this reformed practice, as argued in the pages that follow, should be the process of creation that plays a vital role in the survival and evolution of our universe. The failure to embrace and understand this process has generated major flaws that that continue to plague our pursuit of progress. The article will explain that the reason for this failure is not an accident but a necessary result of anthropocentrism that has dominated and continues to dominate our civilization. By using the process of creation as the main organizing principle of our theory and practice of progress will make possible to eliminate the main cause of our numerous problems with progress.

description: Escapism is often defined as temporally getting away from unpleasant situations or thoughts. Since technology creates new opportunities to escape from something unpleasant, the interest in studying escapism has recently increased in information system (IS) research. However, despite growing interest on escapism, research is still in its very beginning stages. To explore IS phenomena more comprehensively this paper proposes a research agenda that highlights current shortcomings and the need to address these shortcomings. Thus, this paper provides a point of departure for future research on escapism and encourages IS-research to further investigate the effects of escapism in IS-related settings.

description: XP is a code-oriented, light-weight software engineering methodology, suited merely for small-sized teams who develop software that relies on vague or rapidly changing requirements. Being very code-oriented, the discipline of systems engineering knows it as approach of incremental system change. In this contribution, we discuss the enhanced version of a concept on how to extend XP on large scale projects with hundreds of software engineers and programmers, respectively. Previous versions were already presented in [1] and [12]. The basic idea is to apply the "hierarchical approach", a management principle of reorganizing companies, as well as well-known moderation principles to XP project organization. We show similarities between software engineering methods and company reorganization processes and discuss how the elements of the hierarchical approach can improve XP. We provide guidelines on how to scale up XP to very large projects e.g. those common in telecommunication industry and IT technology consultancy firms by using moderation techniques.

description: The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT) is one of the five candidates that were considered by ESA as an M3 mission (with launch in 2022-2024). It is specifically designed to exploit the diagnostics of very rapid X-ray flux and spectral variability that directly probe the motion of matter down to distances very close to black holes and neutron stars, as well as the physical state of ultradense matter. The LOFT scientific payload is composed of the Large Area Detector (LAD), devoted to spectral-timing observation, and the Wide Field Monitor (WFM), whose primary goal it is to monitor the X-ray sky for transient events that need to be followed up with the LAD, and to measure the long-term variability of galactic X-ray sources and localize gamma-ray bursts. Here we describe the simulations carried out to optimize the WFM design and to characterize the instrument response to both isolated sources and crowded fields in the proximity of the galactic bulge.

description: This paper discusses a model-based approach to validate software requirements in agile development processes by simulation and in particular automated testing. The use of models as central development artifact needs to be added to the portfolio of software engineering techniques, to further increase efficiency and flexibility of the development beginning already early in the requirements definition phase. Testing requirements are some of the most important techniques to give feedback and to increase the quality of the result. Therefore testing of artifacts should be introduced as early as possible, even in the requirements definition phase.

Constraining Systematic Uncertainties for the Electron Neutrino Search at MicroBooNE
Creators: name: Wospakrik, Marianette
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: MicroBooNE, a liquid argon projection chamber (LArTPC) experiment at Fermilab, is designed to investigate the anomalous excess in the electron neutrino event spectrum observed by the MiniBooNE experiment. MicroBooNE runs in the same booster neutrino beamline as MiniBooNE and is located at a baseline of 470 m. To achieve the level of sensitivity to probe this low energy excess, it is necessary to ensure a significant reduction of uncertainties related to the expected neutrino energy spectrum. This poster will outline the strategy to constrain the systematic uncertainties in electron neutrino modeling using a high-statistics muon neutrino sample. It will also discuss the different sources of systematic uncertainties, the constraint approach that accounts for known correlations between different electron final-states and muon neutrino fluxes and cross-sections, and the implementation of the constraint to improve the sensitivity. https://microboone.fnal.gov/wp-content/uploads/MICROBOONE-NOTE-1085-PUB.pdf

MDFRC item.

March 2011. DOI: 10.1021/es103535k.

The acid generation mechanisms and neutralizing capacities of sulfidic sediments from two inland wetlands have been studied in order to understand the response of these types of systems to drying events. The two systems show vastly different responses to oxidation, with one (Bottle Bend (BB) lagoon) having virtually no acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) and the other (Psyche Bend (PB) lagoon) an ANC that is an order of magnitude greater than the acid generation potential. While BB strongly acidifies during oxidation the free acid generation is less than that expected from the measured proton production and consumption processes, with additional proton consumption attributed to the formation of an acid-anion (chloride) FeIII (oxyhydr)oxide product, similar to akaganite (Fe(OH)2.7Cl0.3). While such products can partially attenuate the acidification of these systems, resilience to acidification is primarily imparted by sediment ANC.
Surfaces that are covered by two pencils of circles

description: We list up to Möbius equivalence all possible degrees and embedding dimensions of real surfaces that are covered by at least two pencils of circles, together with the number of such pencils. In addition, we classify incidences between the contained circles, complex lines and isolated singularities. Such geometric characteristics are encoded in the Néron-Severi lattices of such surfaces and is of potential interest to geometric modelers and architects. As an application we confirm Blum's conjecture in higher dimensional space and we address the Blaschke-Bol problem by classifying surfaces that are covered by hexagonal webs of circles. In particular, we find new examples of such webs that cannot be embedded in 3-dimensional space.

description: Over an algebraically closed fields, an alternative to the method due to Kostrikin and Shafarevich was recently suggested. It produces all known simple finite dimensional Lie algebras in characteristic p>2. For p=2, we investigate one of the steps of this method, interpret several other simple Lie algebras, previously known only as sums of their components, as Lie algebras of vector fields. One new series of exceptional simple Lie algebras is discovered, together with its "hidden supersymmetries".
 In characteristic 2, certain simple Lie algebras are "desuperizations" of simple Lie superalgebras. Several simple Lie algebras we describe as results of generalized Cartan prolongation of the non-positive parts, relative a simplest (by declaring degree of just one pair of root vectors corresponding to opposite simple roots nonzero) grading by integers, of Lie algebras with Cartan matrix are "desuperizations" of characteristic 2 versions of complex simple exceptional vectorial Lie superalgebras. We list the Lie superalgebras (some of them new) obtained from the Lie algebras considered by declaring certain generators odd.
 One of the simple Lie algebras obtained is the prolong relative to a non-simplest grading, so the classification to be obtained might be more involved than we previously thought.

A setup for the precision measurement of multianode photomultiplier efficiency

description: In many applications, such as the detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays using the air fluorescence method, the number of photons incident on the detector must be known. This requires a precise knowledge of the absolute efficiency of the photodetectors used. We present an experimental setup for measuring the single photoelectron gain and efficiency of multi-anode photomultipliers with a total uncertainty on the order of a few percent. This precision is obtained by using a comparison to a NIST calibrated photodiode, and the presented method can be applied to both vacuum photomultiplier tubes and other photodetectors. This work is motivated by the need to calibrate the focal surface of the EUSO-Balloon instrument, which is a technical pathfinder for the future JEM-EUSO mission. A complete discussion of photomultiplier calibration is presented and the efficiency measurement technique is discussed in detail. Example results are given to illustrate the key points of the method.
Inference for Quantile Measures of Kurtosis, Peakedness and Tail-weight

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Many measures of peakedness, heavy-tailedness and kurtosis have been proposed in the literature, mainly because kurtosis, as originally defined, is a complex combination of the other two concepts. Insight into all three concepts can be gained by studying Ruppert's ratios of interquantile ranges. They are not only monotone in Horn's measure of peakedness when applied to the central portion of the population, but also monotone in the practical tail-index of Morgenthaler and Tukey, when applied to the tails. Distribution-free confidence intervals are found for Ruppert's ratios, and sample sizes required to obtain such intervals for a pre-specified relative width and level are provided. In addition, the empirical power of distribution-free tests for peakedness and bimodality are found for symmetric beta families and mixtures of $t$ distributions. An R script that computes the confidence intervals is provided in online supplementary material.

description: A surface that is the pointwise sum of circles in Euclidean space is either coplanar or contains no more than 2 circles through a general point. A surface that is the pointwise product of circles in the unit-quaternions contains either 2, 3, 4, or 5 circles through a general point. A surface in a unit-sphere of any dimension that contains 2 great circles through a general point contains either 4, 5, 6, or infinitely many circles through a general point. These are some corollaries from our classification of translational and great Darboux cyclides. We use the combinatorics associated to the set of low degree curves on such surfaces modulo numerical equivalence.
Relating quantum mechanics and kinetics of neutrino oscillations
Creators: name: Kartavtsev, Alexander
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: While oscillations of solar neutrinos are usually studied using single-particle quantum-mechanical approach, flavor conversion of supernovae neutrinos is typically analyzed using kinetic equation for the matrix of densities due to necessity to include also scattering processes. The kinetic equation is believed to be in conflict with the uncertainty principle and unable to account for the effect of wave packet separation. We establish a connection between the quantum-mechanical and kinetic approaches to neutrino oscillations and show that the uncertainty, as well as the Pauli, principles can be accounted for also in the kinetic approach by considering initial conditions consistent with these fundamental quantum principles. Such initial conditions can be constructed e.g. by setting the matrix of densities equal to the (reduced) single-particle Wigner function computed using initial conditions for the neutrino wave functions. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/JHEP01(2020)138
