description: Sustainable production and environmentally friendly life cycle of every car is a main goal in the automotive industry. But there is a conflict between the rising demands of crash safety, the addition of components due to electric mobility and the reduction of weight. Car body parts can increase the crash safety and have a high lightweight construction potential. Especially tailor welded blanks made of multi-phase steel with a tensile strength of 1000 MPa, which are not established in car body parts, have the potential to improve the crash safety, save resources and lower the weight. The main challenge in the manufacturing of tailor welded blanks made of highest strength steel is the complex and expensive development. Due to the heat input and geometrical changes, the welding process affects the forming properties of the metal sheets. To evaluate the influence from different welding parameters to the forming process, a high number of expensive experiments must be repeated. This includes welding and forming parameter changes as well as adjustments to the forming tool. In order to make the development and manufacturing of tailor welded blanks made of highest strength steels more resource efficient, this work discusses the development and implementation of a digital and bidirectional twin in an industry-oriented environment. The objective is to demonstrate the data management based on the sheet metal properties, the change of properties due to laser welding simulated in Simufact Welding and the final forming process in AutoForm Forming. Additionally, the concept of a life cycle assessment of a tailor welded blank during these steps is developed. As summary the challenges, limitations, and improvements of the digital and bidirectional twin as replacement or, in addition to a consisting development process are discussed.
title: Family based care as an alternative care option

Year: 2018

description: The Family Based Care (FBC) program by SOS Children's Villages of India is a curative alternative care model for children who have lost parental care. The program is based on the principles of necessity and appropriateness under the UNCRC and is supported by four pillars; the mother, brothers and sisters, the home and the community. The non-biological mother is responsible for a smaller group of children, thus ensuring development and implementation of their individual care plans. Brothers and sisters create a safety net through mentoring, protecting and supporting. The family takes collective decisions which allow every child in the family to participate in the decision-making process. FBC is a time tested successful approach as it involves these multiple layers of social security along with adequate checks and balances. Under FBC, children are raised in a family/family-like environment and are better prepared to be responsible and mainstreamed adults, not only economically but also emotionally and socially. According to a UNICEF report (2003), Asia has the highest number of parentless children, at 87.6 million. Therefore, it is our individual and collective responsibility to find ways to ensure that they receive equal opportunities and a chance to realise their own potential by being raised in a raised in a family/family-like environment.

description: We present a generalized potential theory of nonequilibrium torques for the Landau-Lifshitz equation. The general formulation of exchange forces in terms of two potential energies allows for the implementation of accurate machine learning models for adiabatic spin dynamics of out-of-equilibrium itinerant magnetic systems. To demonstrate our approach, we develop a deep-learning neural network that successfully learns the forces in a driven s-d model computed from the nonequilibrium Green's function method. We show that the Landau-Lifshitz dynamics simulations with forces predicted from the neural-net model accurately reproduce the voltage-driven domain-wall propagation. Our work opens a new avenue for multi-scale modeling of nonequilibrium dynamical phenomena in itinerant magnets and spintronics based on machine-learning models.

Creators: name: Furnivall, Judy
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2018

description: This article discusses how important it is for children in residential care to develop the ability to navigate relationships with each other. The current focus on the importance of relationships between adults and children can become distorted so that relationships that may exist between young people and their peers may not be given the respect or importance that they deserve. This is often explained through a misuse of attachment or trauma theory by suggesting that young people are not emotionally 'ready' to cope with peer relationships.

description: We study translocation dynamics of a driven compressible semi-flexible chain consisting of alternate blocks of stiff ($S$) and flexible ($F$) segments of size $m$ and $n$ respectively for different chain length $N$ in two dimension (2D). The free parameters in the model are the bending rigidity $κ_b$ which controls the three body interaction term, the elastic constant $k_F$ in the FENE (bond) potential between successive monomers, as well as the segmental lengths $m$ and $n$ and the repeat unit $p$ ($N=m_pn_p$) and the solvent viscosity $γ$. We demonstrate that due to the change in entropic barrier and the inhomogeneous viscous drag on the chain backbone a variety of scenarios are possible amply manifested in the waiting time distribution of the translocating chain. These information can be deconvoluted to extract the mechanical properties of the chain at various length scales and thus can be used to nanopore based methods to probe bio-molecules, such as DNA, RNA and proteins.

description: The reliance of global energy production on fossil fuels leads to drastic changes in the world ́s climate. Renewable energy derived from natural sources like sunlight or wind is abundantly available, but its intermittent nature requires new solutions for storing this energy. Hydrogen represents an interesting option as a sustainable energy carrier that can be generated from water upon irradiation with sunlight by means of photocatalysis. However, current photocatalytic systems do not meet the requirements for scalable hydrogen production, with heterogeneous systems lacking activity and selectivity and homogeneous catalysts degrading quickly under reaction conditions. The incorporation of single-metal sites onto heterogeneous support materials has the possibility to bridge the two concepts, creating catalysts with well-defined active sites and maximum atom utilization efficiency. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an ideal platform for integrating such single sites due to their large surface area and high structural tunability. In this thesis, single-site cocatalysts were introduced into the MOF systems UiO-67 and COK-47 as organometallic complexes containing noble Pt or earth-abundant Ni that also function as MOF linkers. Two synthesis strategies were used to obtain such single-site-functionalized MOFs: direct one-pot synthesis where the functionalization occurs during the MOF synthesis and post-synthetic ligand exchange. The obtained materials were characterized carefully and their activity for photocatalytic hydrogen production was evaluated. Pt or Ni single-metal sites on UiO-67 showed excellent photocatalytic performances for already very low metal loadings below 0.5 wt-% and they were more active than their nanoparticle counterparts obtained by photodeposition. In contrast to this, the functionalization of COK-47 with Ni sites resulted in almost no photocatalytic activity and while Pt single siteson COK-47 did produce hydrogen, the performance was considerably worse than with Pt nanoparticles, highlighting that the concept of functionalization with single-site cocatalysts works better for UiO-67 than for COK-47. Compared to one-pot synthesis, ligand exchange increased flexibility for the synthesis and enabled more MOF-cocatalyst combinations. However, the ligand exchange procedure most likely introduced missing ligand defects in the MOF structure and electron trap states close to the conduction band which resulted in a decreased catalytic activity. This work highlights the importance of single-metal sites as cocatalyst in photocatalysis and also shows the strong influence of different implementation strategies, providing ground for future research.

description: The Oaxacan Complex represents the largest outcrop of the Mesoproterozoic microcontinent Oaxaquia. It experienced a major tectonometamorphic event, locally known as Zapotecan Orogeny (ca. 1004–980 Ma), during the latest stages of the amalgamation of the supercontinent Rodinia. It is typically interpreted that the syn-tectonic metamorphism occurred at granulite facies conditions (<800°C and ≈0.7 GPa). However, the mineralogical record and recent classic geothermobarometry suggest that the Oaxacan Complex reached peak ultra-high-temperature metamorphism (UHTM) but no conclusive results have been obtained. In this work, we present a combination of microstructural observations, mineral chemistry, phase equilibria thermobarometry, and trace element thermometry to document the processes associated with the granulite petrogenesis and calculate the peak metamorphic conditions. Petrographic observations show that the peak syn-tectonic metamorphism was contemporaneous to partial melting. This is revealed by the presence of euhedral and subhedral plagioclase and feldspar growing with quartz, melt relics included in garnets, films, or veinlets surrounding peak phases, among others. Exsolved clinopyroxene on orthopyroxene, exsolved rutile needles in garnet, ubiquitous mesoperthites, and F- and Ti-rich biotite grains indicate UHTM. The combination of phase equilibria modelling in two metapelites and one garnet-charnockite, along with Zr-in-Rutile and Ti-in-Quartz thermometry, confirms UHT conditions for the Zapotecan Orogeny (T = 895–916°C and P = 0.83–0.99 GPa). Preconditioning of the crust during the earlier Olmecan tectonothermal event (ca. 1100 Ma) and the ascent of the sub-lithospheric mantle follwed by the Zapotecan crustal thickening might account for the UHTM recorded in the Oaxacan rocks. The recognition of syn-tectonic UHTM in the Oaxacan Complex supports palaeographic reconstructions that place Mexican-Colombian terranes entrapped among Amazonia and Baltica during their collision as part of the amalgamation of Rodinia. Our novel results provide new avenues for petrological research for a better understanding of Oaxaquia and its role in the final configuration of Rodinia.

description: This article outlines Kibble's early history as a reformatory school in Victorian times to the present context of Kibble Education and Care Centre's place in contemporary provision in children's services in Scotland. The article considers in particular Kibble's role in preparing young people for leaving care. Kibble's aim is to give young people as many opportunities as possible to enter the workplace and achieve fulfilling lives. However, our own evidence showed that many placements with mainstream employers were failing and that the gap between care and the world of work was in some cases too great. The article also describes Kibble's use of the social enterprise model to provide meaningful employment and training.

description: We describe a method to perform any generalized purity-preserving measurement of a qubit with techniques tailored to superconducting systems. First, we consider two methods for realizing a two-outcome partial projection: using a thresholded continuous measurement in the circuit QED setup, or using an indirect ancilla qubit measurement. Second, we decompose an arbitrary purity-preserving two-outcome measurement into single qubit unitary rotations and a partial projection. Third, we systematically reduce any multiple-outcome measurement to a sequence of such two-outcome measurements and unitary operations. Finally, we consider how to define suitable fidelity measures for multiple-outcome generalized measurements.

description: Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of positronium (Ps) have been of experimental and theoretical interest due to their potential application as the gain medium of a $γ$-ray laser. Ps BECs are intrinsically spinor due to the presence of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) and para-positronium (p-Ps), whose annihilation lifetimes differ by three orders of magnitude. In this paper, we study the spinor dynamics and annihilation processes in the p-Ps/o-Ps system using both solutions of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equations and a semiclassical rate-equation approach. The spinor interactions have an $O(4)$ symmetry which is broken to $SO(3)$ by an internal energy difference between o-Ps and p-Ps. For an initially unpolarized condensate, there is a threshold density of $\approx 10^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$ at which spin mixing between o-Ps and p-Ps occurs. Beyond this threshold, there are unstable spatial modes accompanied by spin mixing. To ensure a high production yield above the critical density, a careful choice of external field must be made to avoid the spin mixing instability.

description: The steady Poiseuille flow of Carreau-Yasuda fluid in a pipe, caused by constant pressure gradient, is studied theoretically. It is proved that at some values of the viscosity model parameters, the problem has a classical solution, while at others - generalized solution. For the latter, a necessary and sufficient condition is found, which depends on the pressure gradient and Carreau-Yasuda model parameters.

description: We observe the suppression of the finite frequency shot-noise produced by a voltage biased tunnel junction due to its interaction with a single electromagnetic mode of high impedance. The tunnel junction is embedded in a quarter wavelength resonator containing a dense SQUID array providing it with a characteristic impedance in the kOhms range and a resonant frequency tunable in the 4-6 GHz range. Such high impedance gives rise to a sizeable Coulomb blockade on the tunnel junction (roughly 30% reduction in the differential conductance) and allows an efficient measurement of the spectral density of the current fluctuations at the resonator frequency. The observed blockade of shot-noise is found in agreement with an extension of the dynamical Coulomb blockade theory.
title: Age limits and eligibility conditions for care, extended care and leaving care support for young people in care and care leavers : the case for cross-national analysis
Creators: name: Gilligan, Robbie
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2018

description: Greater awareness internationally of the special needs and circumstances of young people leaving care settings has led to growing policy interest and innovation in recent years. This paper draws attention to a small sample of policy approaches and developments in certain jurisdictions in this area. The case is argued for the value of a cross national comparative approach in studying provision for care leavers. Potential elements of a framework for analysing relevant policy are discussed. An invitation is extended to join a continuing international 'conversation' on the themes covered in the paper.

In this article we show an $L^p$ norm-variation estimate for these averages, which in particular reproves their convergence in $L^p$ for any finite $p$ and for any choice of two $L^\infty$ functions. The result is motivated by recent questions on quantifying convergence of multiple ergodic averages.

description: Gaze cues play an important role in human communication and are used to coordinate turn-taking and joint attention, as well as to regulate intimacy. In order to have fluent conversations with people, social robots need to exhibit human-like gaze behavior. Previous Gaze Control Systems (GCS) in HRI have automated robot gaze using data-driven or heuristic approaches. However, these systems tend to be mainly reactive in nature. Planning the robot gaze ahead of time could help in achieving more realistic gaze behavior and better eye-head coordination. In this paper, we propose and implement a novel planning-based GCS. We evaluate our system in a comparative within-subjects user study (N=26) between a reactive system and our proposed system. The results show that the users preferred the proposed system and that it was significantly more interpretable and better at regulating intimacy.

description: When a three-level atomic wavepacket is obliquely incident on a "edium slab" consisting of two far-detuned laser beams, there exists lateral shift between reflection and incident points at the surface of a "medium slab", analogous to optical Goos-Hanchen effect. We evaluate lateral shifts for reflected and transmitted waves via expansion of reflection and transmission coefficients, in contrast to the stationary phase method. Results show that lateral shifts can be either positive or negative dependent on the incident angle and the atomic internal state. Interestingly, a giant lateral shift of transmitted wave with high transmission probability is observed, which is helpful to observe such lateral shifts experimentally. Different from the two-level atomic wave case, we find that quantum interference between different atomic states plays crucial role on the transmission intensity and corresponding lateral shifts.

description: Complex astrophysical systems often exhibit low-scatter relations between observable properties (e.g., luminosity, velocity dispersion, oscillation period). These scaling relations illuminate the underlying physics, and can provide observational tools for estimating masses and distances. Machine learning can provide a fast and systematic way to search for new scaling relations (or for simple extensions to existing relations) in abstract high-dimensional parameter spaces. We use a machine learning tool called symbolic regression (SR), which models patterns in a dataset in the form of analytic equations. We focus on the Sunyaev-Zeldovich flux$-$cluster mass relation ($Y_\mathrm{SZ}-M$), the scatter in which affects inference of cosmological parameters from cluster abundance data. Using SR on the data from the IllustrisTNG hydrodynamical simulation, we find a new proxy for cluster mass which combines $Y_\mathrm{SZ}$ and concentration of ionized gas ($c_\mathrm{gas}$): $M \propto Y_\mathrm{conc}^{3/5} \equiv Y_\mathrm{SZ}^{3/5} (1-A\, c_\mathrm{gas})$. $Y_\mathrm{conc}$ reduces the scatter in the predicted $M$ by $\sim 20-30$\% for large clusters ($M\gtrsim 10^{14}\, h^{-1} \, M_\odot$), as compared to using just $Y_\mathrm{SZ}$. We show that the dependence on $c_\mathrm{gas}$ is linked to cores of clusters exhibiting larger scatter than their outskirts. Finally, we test $Y_\mathrm{conc}$ on clusters from CAMELS simulations and show that $Y_\mathrm{conc}$ is robust against variations in cosmology, subgrid physics, and cosmic variance. Our results and methodology can be useful for accurate multiwavelength cluster mass estimation from upcoming CMB and X-ray surveys like ACT, SO, eROSITA and CMB-S4.

description: The deliverable contains a bibliography drawing the State of the art on Intercomprehension, on plurilingualism, on translanguaging and it reports a list of PhD and Master thesis, followed by EU projects on Intercomprehension. The references have been used to set up a starting point from where UNITA can start building new research, good practices, and give a solid contribution to both the theoretical and practical development of plurilingual education and multilingualism. The document was compiled under the guidance of UNITO, to facilitate alignment between partners on knowledge of resources and competences on IC. Following this phase, the IC teaching has been consolidated and partners have become more aware of the existing tools. After sharing grounding references and the mapping of previous and existing IC projects, WP3 has started working on good practices to be shared both internally and externally to UNITA. A UNITA framework and syllabuses for IC teaching courses to different targets is also being discussed. This deliverable also contains a list of activities launched by WP3 from month 1 until month 4. The activities have been proposed by each partner of the consortium and are freely available to the students of any university involved in UNITA.

Monte Carlo Simulations of the Critical Properties of a Ziff-Gulari-Barshad model of Catalytic CO Oxidation with Long-range Reactivity

description: The Ziff-Gulari-Barshad (ZGB) model, a simplified description of the oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) on a catalyst surface, is widely used to study properties of nonequilibrium phase transitions. In particular, it exhibits a nonequilibrium, discontinuous transition between a reactive and a CO poisoned phase. If one allows a nonzero rate of CO desorption ($k$), the line of phase transitions terminates at a critical point ($k_{c}$). In this work, instead of restricting the CO and atomic oxygen (O) to react to form carbon dioxide (CO$_{2}$) only when they are adsorbed in close proximity, we consider a modified model that includes an adjustable probability for adsorbed CO and O atoms located far apart on the lattice to react. We employ large-scale Monte Carlo simulations for system sizes up to 240$\times$240 lattice sites, using the crossing of fourth-order cumulants to study the critical properties of this system. We find that the nonequilibrium critical point changes from the two-dimensional Ising universality class to the mean-field universality class upon introducing even a weak long-range reactivity mechanism. This conclusion is supported by measurements of cumulant fixed-point values, cluster percolation probabilities, correlation-length finite-size scaling properties, and the critical exponent ratio $β/ ν$. The observed behavior is consistent with that of the \emph{equilibrium} Ising ferromagnet with additional weak long-range interactions [T. Nakada, P. A. Rikvold, T. Mori, M. Nishino, and S. Miyashita, Phys. Rev. B 84, 054433 (2011)]. The large system sizes and the use of fourth-order cumulants also enable determination with improved accuracy of the critical point of the original ZGB model with CO desorption.

description: It is widely accepted that the earliest months and years of a child's existence have the most profound impact on the rest of the life. Attachment theorists believe that the early bonds and relationships that a child forms with his or her carer(s) or parent(s), informs that child's ability or inability to form successful and healthy relationships in the future. Alan Sinclair's Right from the Start is the latest in the Postcards from Scotland series of short books, which aim to stimulate new and fresh thinking about why us Scots are the way we are.

description: We present a class of models where both the primordial inflation and the late times de Sitter phase are driven by simple phenomenological agegraphic potentials. In this context, a possible new scenario for a smooth exit from inflation to the radiation era is discussed by resorting the kination (stiff) era but without the inefficient radiation production mechanism of these models. This is done by considering rapidly decreasing expressions for $V(t)$ soon after inflation. We show that the parameters of our models can reproduce the scalar spectral parameter $n_s$ predicted by Planck data in particular for models with concave potentials. Finally, according to the recent BICEP2 data, all our models allow a huge amount of primordial gravitational waves.

title: ‘Gleaming with history-in-darkness’: an archival exploration of Muriel Spark’s fiction from poetics to publishing
Creators: name: Harvie, Steven
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: The Muriel Spark archive, split across several institutions, has prompted new and insightful criticism on Spark and her work, but no one has yet used the archive to construct a portrait of Spark’s craft as a novelist, with detailed analyses of how she wrote, including the development of her novelistic aesthetic from her beginnings as a poet, the composition process through which her narrative and prose style emerges, or the paratextual negotiations that have informed and framed the publication and reception of her novels. Using archival material from the National Library of Scotland and the Macmillan Archive, and borrowing from methodologies of manuscript analysis such as genetic criticism, I paint some brushstrokes towards this portrait, or better yet a map, of Spark’s novel writing insomuch as ‘novel writing’ refers to a more expansive conception of Spark’s creative practice that encompasses poetry and poetics, theories of the novel, the mechanics of composition, and the necessary branding processes of commercial fiction publishing.

description: Cosmic shear can only be measured where there are galaxies. This source-lens clustering (SLC) effect has two sources, intrinsic source clustering and cosmic magnification (magnification/size bias). Lensing tomography can suppress the former. However, this reduction is limited by the existence of photo-z error and nonzero redshift bin width. Furthermore, SLC induced by cosmic magnification cannot be reduced by lensing tomography. Through N-body simulations, we quantify the impact of SLC on the lensing power spectrum in the context of lensing tomography. We consider both the standard estimator and the pixel-based estimator. We find that none of them can satisfactorily handle both sources of SLC. (1) For the standard estimator, SLC induced by both sources can bias the lensing power spectrum by O(1)-O(10)%. Intrinsic source clustering also increases statistical uncertainties in the measured lensing power spectrum. However, the standard estimator suppresses intrinsic source clustering in the cross-spectrum. (2) In contrast, the pixel-based estimator suppresses SLC through cosmic magnification. However, it fails to suppress SLC through intrinsic source clustering and the measured lensing power spectrum can be biased low by O(1)-O(10)%. In short, for typical photo-z errors (sigma_z/(1+z)=0.05) and photo-z bin sizes (Delta_z^P=0.2), SLC alters the lensing E-mode power spectrum by 1-10%, with ell~10^3$ and z_s~1 being of particular interest to weak lensing cosmology. Therefore the SLC is a severe systematic for cosmology in Stage-IV lensing surveys. We present useful scaling relations to self-calibrate the SLC effect.

Quantum distance and the Euler number index of the Bloch band in a 1D spin model

description: We study the Riemannian metric and the Euler characteristic number of the Bloch band in a 1D spin model with multi-site spins exchange interactions. The Euler number of the Bloch band originates from the Gauss-Bonnet theorem on the topological characterization of the closed Bloch states manifold in the first Brillouin zone. We study this approach analytically in a transverse field XY spin chain with three-site spin coupled interactions. We define a class of cyclic quantum distance on the Bloch band and on the ground state, respectively, as a local characterization for quantum phase transitions. Specifically, we give a general formula for the Euler number by means of the Berry curvature in the case of two-band models, which reveals its essential relation to the first Chern number of the band insulators. Finally, we show that the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phases transition in zero-temperature can be distinguished by the Euler number of the Bloch band.

description: We study the spin $S=1$ Heisenberg chain, with nearest neighbor, next nearest neighbor ($α$) and biquadratic ($β$) interactions using a combination of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), an analytic variational matrix product state wavefunction, and non-Abelian bosonization. We study the effect of frustration ($α>0$) on the Haldane phase with $-1\leq β< 1$ which reveals a rich phase diagram. For $-1α_c$, separated from the Haldane phase by the critical line $α_c(β)$ of second-order phase transitions connected to the Takhtajan--Babudjian integrable point $α_c(β=-1)=0$. In the opposite regime, $β>β^\ast$, the transition from the Haldane phase becomes first-order into the next nearest neighbor (NNN) AKLT phase. Based on field theoretical arguments and DMRG calculations, we conjecture that these two regimes are separated by a multicritical point ($β^\ast, α^\ast$) of a different universality class, described by the $SU(2)_4$ Wess--Zumino--Witten critical theory. From the DMRG calculations we estimate this multicritical point to lie in the range $-0.2

description: The recently derived consistency relations for Large Scale Structure do not hold if the Equivalence Principle (EP) is violated. We show it explicitly in a toy model with two fluids, one of which is coupled to a fifth force. We explore the constraints that galaxy surveys can set on EP violation looking at the squeezed limit of the 3-point function involving two populations of objects. We find that one can explore EP violations of order 10^{-3} - 10^{-4} on cosmological scales. Chameleon models are already very constrained by the requirement of screening within the Solar System and only a very tiny region of the parameter space can be explored with this method. We show that no violation of the consistency relations is expected in Galileon models.

description: There is a knowledge gap regarding which types of failures robots undergo in domestic settings and how these failures influence customer experience. We classified 10,072 customer reviews of small utilitarian domestic robots on Amazon by the robotic failures described in them, grouping failures into twelve types and three categories (Technical, Interaction, and Service). We identified sources and types of failures previously overlooked in the literature, combining them into an updated failure taxonomy. We analyzed their frequencies and relations to customer star ratings. Results indicate that for utilitarian domestic robots, Technical failures were more detrimental to customer experience than Interaction or Service failures. Issues with Task Completion and Robustness & Resilience were commonly reported and had the most significant negative impact. Future failure-prevention and response strategies should address the technical ability of the robot to meet functional goals, operate and maintain structural integrity over time. Usability and interaction design were less detrimental to customer experience, indicating that customers may be more forgiving of failures that impact these aspects for the robots and practical uses examined. Further, we developed a Natural Language Processing model capable of predicting whether a customer review contains content that describes a failure and the type of failure it describes. With this knowledge, designers and researchers of robotic systems can prioritize design and development efforts towards essential issues.

description: We investigate the problem of estimating the number of modes (i.e., local maxima) - a well known question in statistical inference - and we show how to do so without presmoothing the data. To this end, we modify the ideas of persistence barcodes by first relating persistence values in dimension one to distances (with respect to the supremum norm) to the sets of functions with a given number of modes, and subsequently working with norms different from the supremum norm. As a particular case we investigate the Kolmogorov norm. We argue that this modification has certain statistical advantages. We offer confidence bands for the attendant Kolmogorov signatures, thereby allowing for the selection of relevant signatures with a statistically controllable error. As a result of independent interest, we show that taut strings minimize the number of critical points for a very general class of functions. We illustrate our results by several numerical examples.
