description: Profit-sharing is needed within platoons in order for competing transportation companies to collaborate in forming platoons. In this paper, we propose distribution models of the profit designed for vehicles that are located at the same origin and are operated by competing transportation companies. The vehicles have default departure times, but can decide to depart at other times in order to benefit from platooning. We model the strategic interaction among vehicles with game theory and consider pure Nash equilibria as the solution concept. In a numerical evaluation we compare the outcomes of the games associated with different distribution models of the profit.

Maternal influence on childhood anxiety and self-efficacy
Creators: name: White, MA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The current study examined the influences that maternal parenting attitude and skills, maternal anxiety and perceived maternal self-efficacy levels have on their sons' anxiety and self-efficacy levels. Bagels and Phares, (2008); Matthewson, (2009) found mothers and fathers influence their child's anxiety and self-efficacy levels, however they make different contributions and recommended further research in this phenomenon. To expand on parental influences on childhood anxiety and self-efficacy, the present study examined the mother/son dyad, specifically how maternal parental attitude, anxiety and self-efficacy impacts on her son. Structured interviews on (n = 36) boys 8 -12 years of age and their biological mothers from intact families residing in the same home were conducted. It was hypothesised that the level of maternal anxiety would influence her son's anxiety levels, secondly it was hypotheses a mother's perceived self-efficacy would be associated with her son's self-efficacy levels. Finally it was hypothesised that maternal parenting attitude and skills would influence her son's anxiety and self-efficacy levels. The data supported the hypotheses that maternal anxiety influenced the sons' anxiety levels, and that maternal parenting attitude and skills influenced her sons' anxiety levels. Although the studies second hypothesis did not attain statistical significance at the p = < .05 level, it approached it at the p =< .07. The results indicated an association between maternal state anxiety and the son's perceived trait anxiety and that the level of trait anxiety is positively associated with the level of perceived self-efficacy. Childhood anxiety and self-efficacy would all benefit from future more diverse research into these associations.

description: In this work, we propose a novel framework for large-scale Gaussian process (GP) modeling. Contrary to the global, and local approximations proposed in the literature to address the computational bottleneck with exact GP modeling, we employ a combined global-local approach in building the approximation. Our framework uses a subset-of-data approach where the subset is a union of a set of global points designed to capture the global trend in the data, and a set of local points specific to a given testing location to capture the local trend around the testing location. The correlation function is also modeled as a combination of a global, and a local kernel. The performance of our framework, which we refer to as TwinGP, is on par or better than the state-of-the-art GP modeling methods at a fraction of their computational cost.

description: We develop a subtractive renormalization scheme to evaluate the P-wave NN scattering phase shifts using chiral effective theory potentials. This allows us to consider arbitrarily high cutoffs in the Lippmann-Schwinger equation (LSE). We employ NN potentials computed up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in chiral effective theory, using both dimensional regularization and spectral-function regularization. Our results obtained from the subtracted P-wave LSE show that renormalization of the NNLO potential can be achieved by using the generalized NN scattering lengths as input--an alternative to fitting the constant that multiplies the P-wave contact interaction in the chiral effective theory NN force. However, in order to obtain a reasonable fit to the NN data at NNLO the generalized scattering lengths must be varied away from the values extracted from the so-called high-precision potentials. We investigate how the generalized scattering lengths extracted from NN data using various chiral potentials vary with the cutoff in the LSE. The cutoff-dependence of these observables, as well as of the phase shifts at $T_{lab} \approx 100$ MeV, suggests that for a chiral potential computed with dimensional regularization the highest LSE cutoff it is sensible to adopt is approximately 1 GeV. Using spectral-function regularization to compute the two-pion-exchange potentials postpones the onset of cutoff dependence in these quantities, but does not remove it.

description: This paper studies a multi-fleet platoon coordination system in transport networks that deploy hubs to form trucks into platoons. The trucks belong to different fleets that are interested in increasing their profits by platooning across fleets. The profit of each fleet incorporates platooning rewards and costs for waiting at hubs. Each truck has a fixed route and a waiting time budget to spend at the hubs along its route. To ensure that all fleets are willing to participate in the system, we develop a cross-fleet Pareto-improving coordination strategy that guarantees higher fleet profits than a coordination strategy without cross-fleet platoons. By leveraging multiple hubs for platoon formation, the coordination strategy can be implemented in a real-time and distributed fashion while largely reducing the amount of travel information to be shared for system-wide coordination. We evaluate the proposed strategy in a simulation study over the Swedish transportation network. The cross-fleet platooning strategy significantly improves fleets' profits compared with single-fleet platooning, especially the profits from smaller fleets. The cross-fleet platooning strategy also shows strong competitiveness in terms of the system-wide profit compared to the case when a system planner optimizes all fleets' total profit.

Worst-Case VCG Redistribution Mechanism Design Based on the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis

Subjects: subject: Computer Science and Game Theory (cs.GT)

description: We study worst-case VCG redistribution mechanism design for the public project problem. We use a multilayer perceptron (MLP) with ReLU activation to model the payment function and use mixed integer programming (MIP) to solve for the worst-case type profiles that maximally violate the mechanism design constraints. We collect these worst-case type profiles and use them as training samples to train toward better worst-case mechanisms.
 In practice, we require a tiny network structure for the above approach to scale. The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis states that a large network is likely to contain a "winning ticket" -- a much smaller subnetwork that "won the initialization lottery", which makes its training particularly effective. Motivated by this hypothesis, we train a large network and prune it into a tiny subnetwork. We run MIP-based worst-case training on the drawn subnetwork and evaluate the resulting mechanism's worst-case performance. If the subnetwork does not achieve good worst-case performance, then we record the type profiles that cause the current draw to be bad. To draw again, we restore the large network to its initial weights and prune using recorded type profiles from earlier draws, therefore avoiding drawing the same ticket twice. We expect to eventually encounter a tiny subnetwork that leads to effective training for our worst-case mechanism design task. Lastly, a by-product of multiple ticket draws is an ensemble of mechanisms with different worst cases, which improves the worst-case performance further.
 Using our approach, we find previously unknown optimal mechanisms for up to 5 agents. Our results confirm the tightness of existing theoretical upper bounds. For up to 20 agents, we derive significantly improved worst-case mechanisms, surpassing a long list of existing manual results.

description: The fragmentation process in collapsing clouds with various metallicities is studied using three-dimensional nested-grid hydrodynamics. Initial clouds are specified by three parameters: cloud metallicity, initial rotation energy and initial cloud shape. For different combinations of these parameters, we calculate 480 models in total and study cloud evolution, fragmentation conditions, orbital separation and binary frequency. For the cloud to fragment during collapse, the initial angular momentum must be higher than a threshold value, which decreases with decreasing metallicity. Although the exact fragmentation conditions depend also on the initial cloud shape, this dependence is only modest. Our results indicate a higher binary frequency in lower-metallicity gas. In particular, with the same median rotation parameter as in the solar neighbourhood, a majority of stars are born as members of binary/multiple systems for < 10^-4 Z_sun. With initial mass < 0.1 M_sun, if fragments are ejected in embryo from the host clouds by multi-body interaction, they evolve to substellar-mass objects. This provides a formation channel for low-mass stars in zero- or low-metallicity environments.

description: This paper offers an initial investigation of some philosophical-anthropological and phenomenological aspects of Nicolai Hartmann’s Philosophie der Natur. In this work, besides the critical analysis of the ontological articulation of the natural being, Hartmann
shows great interest in the spontaneous, unmediated usage of some categories of natural ontology (space, time, causality, process, and so on). Our particular focus is Hartmann’s analysis of the pre-critical spatial self-perception of the subject, that reveals wide-ranging links with the phenomenologically relevant issues of the living corporeity (Leiblichkeit) and the delimitation of a personal sphere of experience.

Design of an inflector for the triumf cyclotron
Creators: name: Root, Laurence Wilbur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is considered with the problem of the electrostatic inflection of an axially directed ion beam into the magnetic median plane at the center of a cyclotron. The analysis is applied to the case of the TRIUMF 500 MeV H cyclotron, where the beam from the ion source has an energy of 300 keV and the central magnetic field is approximately 3.0 kG. The properties of several inflector designs are briefly considered, and it is shown that the spiral inflector is most flexible, because it has two free parameters which may be varied to optimize the position and velocity of the ion beam at the entrance to the cyclotron injection gap. This type of inflector was therefore singled out for more detailed study. The first order optical properties of a spiral inflector operating in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field were calculated using an analytic method similar to the one used by Belmont and Pabot. It was found that the accuracy of their calculation could be improved considerably by including an additional first order term in their electric field approximation. The origin of this additional term is studied in detail. Numerical results are presented for a typical spiral inflector design. The electric potential distribution inside a spiral inflector was calculated by solving Laplace's equation numerically in three dimensions. Trajectories were then numerically integrated through this potential distribution in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field. The results obtained in these calculations were found to be in good agreement with the previous results obtained using the analytic approach. The characteristics of a spiral inflector operating in the presence of a non-homogeneous magnetic field similar to the one in the TRIUMF cyclotron is proposed. The optical properties of the proposed TRIUMF design have been calculated assuming an idealized electric field distribution within the body of the inflector. The spiral inflector has been constructed with the aid of a numerically controlled milling machine for cutting the electrode surfaces. A description is given of the milling procedure and of the computer program which was used to control the movement of the tool head.

description: Spectral line and continuum observations of the ionized and molecular gas in G20.08-0.14 N explore the dynamics of accretion over a range of spatial scales in this massive star-forming region. Very Large Array observations of NH_3 at 4'' angular resolution show a large-scale (0.5 pc) molecular accretion flow around and into a star cluster with three small, bright HII regions. Higher resolution (0.4'') observations with the Submillimeter Array in hot core molecules (CH_3CN, OCS, and SO_2) and the VLA in NH_3, show that the two brightest and smallest HII regions are themselves surrounded by smaller scale (0.05 pc) accretion flows. The axes of rotation of the large- and small-scale flows are aligned, and the timescale for the contraction of the cloud is short enough, 0.1 Myr, for the large-scale accretion flow to deliver significant mass to the smaller scales within the star formation timescale. The flow structure appears to be continuous and hierarchical from larger to smaller scales. Millimeter radio recombination line (RRL) observations at 0.4" angular resolution indicate rotation and outflow of the ionized gas within the brightest HII region (A). The broad recombination lines and a continuum spectral energy distribution (SED) that rises continuously from cm to mm wavelengths, are both characteristic of the class of HII regions known as "broad recombination line objects". The SED indicates a density gradient inside this HII region, and the RRLs suggest supersonic flows. These observations are consistent with photoevaporation of the inner part of the rotationally flattened molecular accretion flow. We also report the serendipitous detection of a new NH_3 (3,3) maser.

The efficacy of massage therapy for people with schizophrenia
Creators: name: Urie, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This literature review examines evidence regarding the likely efficacy of massage therapy for people with schizophrenia and is placed in context by reviewing the past and current uses of touch based therapies in health care. To date, only one study has examined the efficacy of massage therapy for schizophrenia. Andres, Bellwald and Brenner (1993) found that an intervention combining massage therapy with movement and breathing exercises significantly reduced physiological arousal and significantly improved subjective ratings of well being for people with schizophrenia. Evidence reviewed from diverse bodies of research suggests that by improving body awareness, reducing anxiety and depression, providing temporary relief from movement disorders caused by antipsychotic medication, and providing touch massage therapy may improve quality of life and possibly reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia. While there is some evidence that, as people with schizophrenia may be less familiar with touch and less sensitive to tactile stimulation, massage therapy may be less effective than in other populations which have been studied, in general the evidence reviewed supports its use.
Multiple gravity laws for human mobility within cities

description: The gravity model of human mobility has successfully described the deterrence of travels with distance in urban mobility patterns. While a broad spectrum of deterrence was found across different cities, yet it is not empirically clear if movement patterns in a single city could also have a spectrum of distance exponents denoting a varying deterrence depending on the origin and destination regions in the city. By analyzing the travel data in the twelve most populated cities of the United States of America, we empirically find that the distance exponent governing the deterrence of travels significantly varies within a city depending on the traffic volumes of the origin and destination regions. Despite the diverse traffic landscape of the cities analyzed, a common pattern is observed for the distance exponents; the exponent value tends to be higher between regions with larger traffic volumes, while it tends to be lower between regions with smaller traffic volumes. This indicates that our method indeed reveals the hidden diversity of gravity laws that would be overlooked otherwise.

description: LaBr3:Ce crystals, with photomultiplier or single SiPM readout (up to 3x3 mm$^2$) have been introduced for radiation imaging in medical physics. An R&D was pursued with 1/2" and 1" LaBr3:Ce crystals, from different producers, to realize compact large area detectors (up to some cm $^2$ area) with SiPM array readout, aiming at high light yields, good energy resolution,good detector linearity and fast time response for low-energy X-rays. The study was triggered by the FAMU experiment at the RIKEN-RAL muon facility, aiming at a precise measurement of the proton Zemach radius to solve the so-called "proton radius puzzle". The goal is the detection of characteristic X-rays around 130 KeV. Other applications may be foreseen for homeland security and $γ$-ray astronomy. Results were obtained with a direct readout based on a CAEN V1730 FADC, with no need for an amplification stage. At the Cs$^{137}$ peak, energy resolutions up to $\sim 3 \%$ were obtained, using a readout with Hamamatsu SiPM arrays. These results compare well with best available results obtained with a PMT readout.

Eco-behavioural factors as indices of residential stability
Creators: name: Duguid, Allan Garson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Historically, the most common analysis of the way in which a city evolved was in terms of market forces. According to this school of thought, propounded by the human ecologists, a residential area matured until it reached a point when it could be profitably redeveloped at a higher intensity of use. This type of explanation reflects the rise in land costs associated with rapid urban growth. More pertinently, it also reflects the power vested in politicians and business interests to control the destiny of parts of the city. Recently, however, we have witnessed an increasing concern amongst individuals and citizen interest groups over the way in which urban areas are being manipulated for political or corporate gain, at the expense of citizens' satisfaction. This concern has been expressed in terms of an increasing consciousness, or environmental and political awareness. This study examined West Kitsilano, one of Vancouver's older residential districts, in the light of the general hypothesis: That the degree of stability of a residential environ cannot be accounted for solely in terms of market forces. Part of the explanation must now be sought in terms of individual eco-behavioral factors. The hypothesis was validated by the research undertaken. This indicated that further insight on the contemporary forces affecting the evolution of urban areas can be gained by examining the understanding residents have of their environ and the behavior patterns they display. It revealed that despite the presence of market forces committed to the redevelopment of the area, inhabitants can play a conscious role in the preservation of their residential environ in a form which satisfies their day to day requirements. If continued intervention in the way in which the city evolves is to be relevant, it will depend on a more informed planning process. It must take account of the sentiments and expectations of individuals throughout the urban area, in addition to considering the continued deployment of people and activities in terms of market induced factors. This requires considerable introspection on behalf of those involved in environmental management. It demands that citizens be regarded as directors of the urban fabric rather than as mere actors to be directed. However, the ability to ask fundamentally social and organizational questions will be wasted unless planners can demonstrate equal flexibility in their search for policies and avenues of intervention. This will inevitably lead them outside traditional areas of competence, or outside traditional institutional frameworks. Most significantly, it will emphasize that those involved in environmental management must become part of, rather than alleged experts for, social change.

description: Medical image data are often limited due to the expensive acquisition and annotation process. Hence, training a deep-learning model with only raw data can easily lead to overfitting. One solution to this problem is to augment the raw data with various transformations, improving the model's ability to generalize to new data. However, manually configuring a generic augmentation combination and parameters for different datasets is non-trivial due to inconsistent acquisition approaches and data distributions. Therefore, automatic data augmentation is proposed to learn favorable augmentation strategies for different datasets while incurring large GPU overhead. To this end, we present a novel method, called Dynamic Data Augmentation (DDAug), which is efficient and has negligible computation cost. Our DDAug develops a hierarchical tree structure to represent various augmentations and utilizes an efficient Monte-Carlo tree searching algorithm to update, prune, and sample the tree. As a result, the augmentation pipeline can be optimized for each dataset automatically. Experiments on multiple Prostate MRI datasets show that our method outperforms the current state-of-the-art data augmentation strategies.

description: We consider the platoon matching problem for a set of trucks with the same origin, but different destinations. It is assumed that the vehicles benefit from traveling in a platoon for instance through reduced fuel consumption. The vehicles belong to different fleet owners and their strategic interaction is modeled as a non-cooperative game where the vehicle actions are their departure times. Each truck has a preferred departure time and its utility function is defined as the difference between its benefit from platooning and the cost of deviating from its preferred departure time. We show that the platoon matching game is an exact potential game. An algorithm based on best response dynamics is proposed for finding a Nash equilibrium of the game. At a Nash equilibrium, vehicles with the same departure time are matched to form a platoon. Finally, the total fuel reduction at the Nash equilibrium is studied and compared with that of a cooperative matching solution where a common utility function for all vehicles is optimized.

Analysis of 241 medium-resolution spectra using the broadening-functions formalism yielded radial velocities, projected rotational velocities (for 31 targets for which it was possible) and spectral type estimates. Seven new spectroscopic binaries were discovered; orbital solutions are given for two of them (HD73709, and GSC 0814-0323). The visual binary HD46180 was found to be composed of two close binary stars (eclipsing and non-eclipsing one) very probably forming a physical quadruple system.

description: The impedance of a Li-ion battery contains information about its state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH) and remaining useful life (RUL). Commonly, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is used as a nonparametric data-driven technique for estimating this impedance from current and voltage measurements. In this article, however, we propose a consistent parametric estimation method based on a fractional order equivalent circuit model (ECM) of the battery impedance. Contrary to the nonparametric impedance estimate, which is only defined at the discrete set of excited frequencies, the parametric estimate can be evaluated in every frequency of the frequency band of interest. Moreover, we are not limited to a single sine or multisine excitation signal. Instead, any persistently exciting signal, like for example a noise excitation signal, will suffice. The parametric estimation method is first validated on simulations and then applied to measurements of commercial Samsung 48X cells. For now, only batteries in rest, i.e. at a constant SOC after relaxation, are considered.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

description: Currently new radio detection techniques are being explored to detect astrophysical neutrinos beyond the PeV scale interacting in polar ice. Due to the long attenuation length of radio waves in a medium, it can be expected that such instruments will also be sensitive to the radio emission of cosmic ray air showers. Furthermore, cosmic ray air showers hitting a high-altitude layer of ice will initiate an in-ice particle cascade, also leading to radio emission. We present the first results of detailed simulations of the in-ice continuation of these cosmic-ray-induced particle cascades, using a combination of the CORSIKA Monte Carlo code and the Geant4 simulation toolkit. We give an overview of the general features of such particle cascades and present a parameterization in terms of Xmax of the longitudinal and lateral particle distributions. We discuss the feasibility of observing the in-ice particle cascades, both through the detection of the Askaryan radio emission as well as by using the RADAR reflection technique. Based on these results we find that the expected signals from the continuation of in-ice cosmic-ray induced particle cascades will be very similar to neutrino signals. This means a thorough understanding of these events is necessary in the search for neutrino candidates, while it also promises an interesting in-situ natural calibration source.

description: We have measured absolute total cross section for LMM Auger electron emission of Cl in chlorinated methane and benzene chloride in collision with H+ ion. Projectile energy dependence of the total yield as well as the angular distribution has been studied. Incident proton energy has been varied from 125 keV to 275 keV in steps of 50 keV. C KLL Auger yield have been compared with previous studies and found to be in agreement within the effect of chemical species It has been found that the LMM Auger yield of Cl is much more significantly affected by molecular environment than the C KLL.
THE CORE OF INDIVIDUALITY AND THE CONSTRAINTS OF SELF-SHAPING. FROM HUSSERL TO SCHELER IN THE LIGHT OF THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN PERSONHOOD AND PERSONALITY

description: If we relate eidetic variation to the dimension of the self we have to face two questions:
which are the constraints that limit my free fantasizing about myself? Which is the core of my individuality that acts as parameter within the spectrum of self-changes? This paper leans on Max Scheler thought to answer such questions and develop a pattern of personhood and personality. In so doing, two dimensions of the self emerge: being subject to and being subject of. The former is the key the self-knowledge and self-shaping, while the latter plays out in accordance with the self-awareness one gains thanks to the former. This pair will be interpreted in the light of the coordinates we can find in Scheler’s stance on personality: ordo amoris, individual destiny and ethos. These remarks enable us to understand that the unchangeable core of our individuality is the mode and content of our love and hate, while the range of self-changes pertains to the dimension of our actions and desires. Within this frame, an overarching reappraisal of the emotional life turns out to be the sole key to the whole process of self-shaping.
