Knowledge representation and reasoning

description: The growth of autonomous vehicles, ridesharing systems, and self driving technology will bring a shift in the way ride hailing platforms plan out their services. However, these advances in technology coupled with road congestion, environmental concerns, fuel usage, vehicles emissions, and the high cost of the vehicle usage have brought more attention to better utilize the use of vehicles and their capacities. In this paper, we propose a novel distributed multi-hop ride-sharing (MHRS) algorithm that uses deep reinforcement learning to learn optimal vehicle dispatch and matching decisions by interacting with the external environment. By allowing customers to transfer between vehicles, i.e., ride with one vehicle for sometime and then transfer to another one, MHRS helps in attaining 30% lower cost and 20% more efficient utilization of fleets, as compared to the ride-sharing algorithms. This flexibility of multi-hop feature gives a seamless experience to customers and ride-sharing companies, and thus improves ride-sharing services.
Photographic Copyright And The Intellectual Property Enterprise Court In Historical Perspective

description: Abstract: This article provides an in-depth case study of the enforcement of copyright in photographs by certain rights-owners today: freelance professional photographers who derive income from the exploitation of photographic copyright. Referring to the theoretical framework of Guido Calabresi and A Douglas Melamed, the article reflects on the implications of the case study for the nature and function of copyright in a specific context today. Bringing the experience today into conversation with the enforcement of copyright by professional photographers in past times (the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries), the article notes the influence of the bureaucratisation of copyright exploitation (i.e. exploitation through picture libraries) on legal decision making in a particular forum today: the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court Small Claims Track. The article concludes with more general reflections on the case study’s implications for the courts and copyright policy-makers.

description: Advances in technology have given rise to the widespread use of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS), more commonly known as ‘drones.’ The sUAS market is expected to continue to increase at a rapid pace, with the FAA forecasting around 8,000 registrations monthly (FAA, 2019). High profile drone incidents include use in an attack on the Venezuelan president, an undetected landing on the property of the White House, and use in dropping crude explosives on troops in the Middle East (Gramer, 2017; Grossman, 2018; Wallace & Loffi, 2015). The rate of proliferation and high-performance characteristics of these drones has raised serious concerns for safety in high-density outdoor events. Counter-unmanned aerial systems are currently illegal for all but a few Federal entities within the U.S., leaving private and public entities at risk. This exploratory research investigates several legal facility and patron behavioral interventions to reduce possible casualties during a drone attack by using AnyLogic simulation modeling in an amusement park scenario. Data from this experiment suggest that behavioral interventions implemented 30 seconds before a drone attack can reduce casualties by more than 55%, and up to 62% casualty reductions can be realized with a 60-second implementation time. Testing suggests that venue design considerations, such as a reduction in hard corners, covered high-density areas, and smoother area transitions can synergistically reduce casualties when used in conjunction with a warning system. While casualty mitigation did occur throughout the study, active threat interdiction methods would be necessary to design a system that may prevent casualties overall.

description: In group-living animals social information is essential to survival, providing indirect information about the environment, such as predator presence. An individual’s ability to acquire social information is mediated by its sensory system. In visually-oriented species, different visual dimensions provide rapid information about conspecifics. However, we know relatively little about how the uptake of visual social information mediates the formation of coordinated patterns of group movement, referred to as collective behavior. Using two species of birds (i.e., European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) and red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)) and fish (i.e., zebrafish (Danio rerio) and golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas)), I determine how the structure of social interactions are facilitated by the capabilities imposed by the visual system from a theoretical point of view. With a focus on zebrafish (Danio rerio), a visually-oriented, social cyprinid, I further explore the role of vision in mediating social interactions. Specifically, I characterize several relevant visual dimensions in zebrafish that have the potential to influence the uptake of social information: visual coverage, visual resolution and visual contrast. With insights gained from theoretical modelling and a series of behavioral experiments, I discuss the constraints that these visual dimensions might impose on social interactions and develop predictions for collective behavior.

Learning from Experts: Exploring the Nature and Flow of Math Knowledge Resources in Elementary Schools
Creators: name: Leslie, Deborah Arron
Publisher: name: University of Illinois Chicago
Year: 2025

description: Many elementary school teachers must engage in considerable professional learning if we are to realize longstanding reform efforts aimed at making mathematics education in the United States more conceptual, student-centered, focused on practices and processes, and equitable for diverse students. Given the required elements of high-quality professional learning and the constraints on teachers’ time, job-embedded professional learning within schools is likely to be essential; and learning from more expert colleagues is a potentially powerful mechanism that has been deployed with mixed results. My mixed-methods study, combining social network data and analyses with qualitative measures and analyses across two case-study and six additional schools, investigates the important topic of math-related collegial learning among teachers in elementary schools. Four key findings emerge from my study: First, it supports earlier findings that teachers are inclined to draw upon the mathematics expertise of colleagues within their school networks. Second, it suggests that placing teachers with expertise in formal math leadership roles, even part-time and in combination with other roles and responsibilities, has the potential to make their expertise both visible and accessible to their colleagues, mostly through formal organizational structures. Third, I document a strong predisposition toward math-related interactions that are contextualized to particular students, activities, and resources. Finally, my study contributes to the small group of studies that have directly engaged school leaders with social network data and analyses. I provide detailed examples of the types of responses school leaders have to this information and their positive views on its novelty and utility for their leadership practice. These findings raise important questions and implications for researchers and practitioners related to the following topics: 1) using part-time leadership roles to provide access to math expertise; 2) supporting teachers with generalizing from highly specific and contextualized interactions to the learning that is likely necessary for meaningful reform; and 3) pairing social network analysis with other tools and supports to help school leaders consider, promote, and shape interactions within their schools to make best use of the math expertise of their personnel for peer-to-peer collaboration and learning.

Usability Engineering Framework for Persuasive Mobile Health Apps to Effectively Influence Dietary Decisions of Older Adults
Creators: name: Chao, Wen-yu
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Human-computer interaction

description: Introduction: Mobile health applications (mHealth apps) have the potential to assist patients in adhering to their physician’s advice in chronic disease management through the use of persuasive nudge. However, systematically developing the persuasive features of a mHealth app for the major user demographic of older adults is challenging. The current usability engineering framework could ensure the user-friendliness of the app but not the persuasiveness. It is necessary to extend the current framework with appropriate measures to better understand the effectiveness of persuasive design elements in an iterative design process. Methods: A pilot design project was run, a persuasive mHealth app for dietary management was developed using the user-centered design approach (persona, use scenario, task analysis, and cognitive walkthrough), the pilot testing result showed high potential of technology acceptance of older adults. To further evaluate persuasiveness, a food choice experimental protocol and human decision performance metrics based on Signal Detection Theory (SDT) were proposed. A mixed-methods, full factorial user testing study was conducted with twenty older adults aged over 60 and twenty students age 18-35. Critical persuasive User Interface (UI) design variables included decision paradigm (digital nudge), nutrition information format (information nudge), and the system default pre-selection (default nudge). The proposed SDT metrics to evaluate persuasiveness were then compared with confusion matrix metrics which are frequently used to validate system decision-making performance. The relationship between the human performance, subjective workload, and perceived usability of the proposed mHealth app was also investigated. Results: The ‘Two Alternative Forced Choice’ layout significantly increased the d-prime and accuracy (persuasiveness), the system default pre-selection decreased persuasiveness. The interpretative FSA Nutri-scores label reduced time of response and workload, and increased perceived ease of use, perceived ease of learning, and satisfaction. Among older adults, results differed by age, computer proficiency, and health literacy. Conclusion: The findings of this study imply the proposed framework is a valid persuasive design research approach. And digital nudge is an effective persuasive design for mHealth app, while default nudge may give rise to negative effects. A generalized human-centered digital nudge design framework along with ageing-centered guidelines were suggested for the similar research and design projects for persuasive technology performed in the future.

This pilot study reports on a survey regarding recruitment, appointment, and training of members for health care ethics committees (HCECs). BACKGROUND: Past studies have examined HCECs, but have focused on the roles of the committees and the broad makeup of membership. Thus, our study fills an important knowledge gap in trends of membership recruitment and appointment processes employed by HCECs to comprise their membership. METHODS: We posted our survey on several bioethics listservs between June and August 2015. Of the 103 respondents that started the survey, 59 were eligible for inclusion based on our criteria. We analyzed survey results descriptively and qualitatively. RESULTS: Overall we found no unifying standards of recruitment or appointment across the 59 respondents. Additionally, while responding committees varied in the professional backgrounds and attributes they valued in potential members, we found that most respondents valued traits of the applicants over specific knowledge or skills. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a first look into how HCECs recruit members. Future research is needed to better understand the complexities of the issues discovered during this study, given that the HCEC members appointed are the individuals who fulfill committee obligations.

description: Physical colors, i.e. reflected or emitted lights entering the eyes from a visual environment, are converted into perceived colors sensed by humans by neurophysiological mechanisms. These processes involve both three types of photoreceptors, the LMS cones, and spectrally opponent and non-opponent interactions resulting from the activity rates of ganglion and lateral geniculate nucleus cells. Thus, color perception is a phenomenon inherently linked to an experimental environment (the visual scene) and an observing apparatus (the human visual system). This is clearly reminiscent of the conceptual foundation of both relativity and quantum mechanics, where the link is between a physical system and the measuring instruments. The relationship between color perception and relativity was explicitly examined for the first time by the physicist H. Yilmaz in 1962 from an experimental point of view. The main purpose of this contribution is to present a rigorous mathematical model that, by taking into account both trichromacy and color opponency, permits to explain on a purely theoretical basis the relativistic color perception phenomena argued by Yilmaz. Instead of relying directly on relativistic considerations, we base our theory on a quantum interpretation of color perception together with just one assumption, called trichromacy axiom, that summarizes well-established properties of trichromatic color vision within the framework of Jordan algebras. We show how this approach allows us to reconcile trichromacy with Hering's opponency and also to derive the relativistic properties of perceived colors without any additional mathematical or experimental assumption.

description: The 'Report of Common Guidelines for Methods and Data Templates' outlines a comprehensive strategy to standardize data collection practices within the P2GreeN project. This executive summary encapsulates the document's essence: 

The primary aim of this report is to establish consistent and robust guidelines for data collection across the project. It emphasizes the importance of reliable and scientifically rigorous data to support the project's goals and ensure replicability. The guidelines encompass methodologies, data representation standards, quality control protocols, and validation measures, designed to evolve in tandem with technological advancements and ethical considerations.

Task 2.1 focuses on establishing standardized data collection methodologies and criteria, supporting various project components, especially the Data Management Plan (DMP) and the P2GreeN Innovation Platform. Despite regional differences, the task aims to harmonize data collection practices to evaluate impacts related to agroecology, environment, society, and economics, aligning with the project's overarching objectives.

The Data Management Plan outlines three pivotal pillars: data lifecycle management in WP2, the network hub in Task 5.1, and the Innovation Platform within WP7. These pillars underscore the strategic significance of effective data management in realizing the project's circular model objectives.

Key aspects of the Data Management Plan involve establishing metadata standards, recording templates, and data collection formats to ensure consistency and accessibility. The Innovation Platform serves as the primary data repository, facilitating data access, metadata sharing, and adherence to FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability).

Collaboration between the Data Management Team and WP2 co-leads drives the development and implementation of robust guidelines and frameworks. These frameworks ensure that project outputs are easily accessible, compatible, and reusable, fostering seamless collaboration, data sharing, and utilization across all project contributions.

Ultimately, the report aims to ensure the widespread adoption of innovative urbanrural nutrient flow solutions and governance blueprints proposed by the P2GreeN project, underpinning the project's commitment to sustainability and the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, and Recover).

How to locate the crisis and the people the most affected by it; how can different policy responses (stimulation, social investment, active labour market policies) be viewed in connection with the crisis?

Methods:

Using multilevel methods I analyse how individual experiences are linked to and explained by national differences. Multiple correspondence analysis is used to model subjective experiences.

Results:

First, there is no correlation between fiscal, financial and welfare-related aspects of the crisis. Therefore, the imbalances of the public economy do not straightforwardly justify the recent cuts to social protection. 

Second, and coincidently, in countries where expenditure on social protection has been maintaned, economic difficulties have been less emphatic. Non-social stimulation bears no similar benefits.  

Third, in the so-called post-Fordist, education-intensive economies the subjective effects of the crisis are systematically stronger. These effects are the most emphatic among the young, indicating vast sustained consequences into adulthood.

However, the attitudes of young adults are straying further. The unemployed young and those working in fixed-term contracts relate differently to insecurity, lacking shared, generation-wide experiences and representations of conflict.

Conclusions:

Qualitative changes in the conditions of work make the crisis present everywhere in Europe, including Protestant countries where the effects of the banking crisis were limited. As a possible alternative explanation my thesis then frames the crisis as a crisis of ‘post-Fordist’ work, asking whether it is primarily ‘financial’ except as a rhetorical construct. I then discuss its broad implications to welfare and inter-generational equity.

description: visual identity is composed of visual elements that will provide a tangible manifestation of the project identity and define how FuturEnzyme will be presented to the target audience. The FuturEnzyme graphical identity will include logo, fonts, colours, text, promotional materials, and templates for presentations, posters, and deliverables. The guidelines will assist the partners in designing and producing compelling communications both for web and printed material and contribute to developing a strong and recognisable FuturEnzyme brand. Therefore, it is important to follow the visual identity strategy since good use will helpto consistently communicate and disseminate the project. Guidelines and templates will also save time and effort for the embers of the consortium since no further design work will be necessary. These materials will be provided by CSIC. A short presentation of this material is also available in D8.3 "Plan for using, communication, and disseminating project information and knowledge".
On the Extensions of the Predictor-Corrector Proximal Multiplier (PCPM) Algorithm and Their Applications

description: Many real-world application problems can be modeled mathematically as constrained convex optimization problems. The scale of such problems can be extremely large, posing significant challenges to traditional centralized algorithms and calling for efficient and scalable distributed algorithms. However, most of the existing works on distributed optimization have been focusing on block-separable problems with simple, linear constraints, such as the consensus-type constraints. The focus of this dissertation is to propose distributed algorithms to solve (possibly non-separable) large-scale optimization problems with more complicated constraints with parallel updating (aka in Jacobi fashion), instead of sequential updating in the form of Gauss-Seidel iterations. In achieving so, this dissertation extends the predictor corrector proximal multiplier method (PCPM) to address three issues when solving a large-scale constrained convex optimization problem: (i) non-linear coupling constraints; (ii) asynchronous iterative scheme; (iii) non-separable objective function and coupling constraints.
The idea of the PCPM algorithm is to introduce a predictor variable for the Lagrangian multiplier to avoid the augmented term, hence removing the coupling of block variables while still achieving convergence without restrictive assumptions. Building upon this algorithmic idea, we propose three distributed algorithms: (i) N-block PCPM algorithm for solving N-block convex optimization problems with both linear and nonlinear coupling constraints; (ii) asynchronous N-block PCPM algorithm for solving linearly constrained N-block convex optimization problems; (iii) a distributed algorithm, named PC2PM, for solving large-scale convex quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs). The global convergence is established for each of the three algorithms. Extensive numerical experiments, using various data sets, are conducted on either a single-node computer or a multi-node computer cluster through message passing interface (MPI). Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of the proposed algorithms.
A real application of the N-block PCPM algorithm to solve electricity capacity expansion models is also studied in this dissertation. A hybrid scenario-node-realization decomposition method, with extended nonanticipativity constraints, is proposed for solving the resulting large-scale optimization problem from a multi-scale, multi-stage stochastic program under various uncertainties with different temporal scales. A technique of orthogonal projection is exploited to simplify the iteration steps, which leads to a simplified N-block PCPM algorithm amenable to massive parallelization during iterations. Such an algorithm exhibits much more scalable numerical performance when compared with the widely used progressive hedging approach (PHA) for solving stochastic programming problems.
Locus of control and depression as mechanisms in the relationship between racial discrimination and substance use

description: Exposure to racial discrimination has been consistently linked with risk for substance use. However, outside of affect-based factors, few other mechanisms have been examined in the literature. One potential candidate is locus of control (LOC). LOC is a learning processes that involves the degree to which an individual attributes rewards as resulting from their own control (internal LOC) versus outside control (external LOC). There is evidence that exposure to stressors is associated with LOC, with a separate body of literature linking LOC with substance use. Thus, it is plausible that LOC may be a mechanism underlying the relationship between racial discrimination and substance use. Additionally, there is evidence that depression is related to LOC. Thus, the relationship between racial discrimination, locus of control, and substance use may also be serially mediated through depressive symptoms. The current study investigated these two pathways among 503 racial/ethnic minority adults aged 18-35 who completed an online questionnaire that included measures on racial discrimination related stress, locus of control, depressive symptoms, and substance use. Results indicated a significant indirect effect of racial discrimination related stress through external locus of control, specifically the chance orientation, on substance use. Moreover, for both domains of external locus of control (i.e., chance and powerful others) a significant serial indirect effect was found through depressive symptoms within the racial discrimination-substance use pathway among racial/ethnic minority adults. These findings expand our understanding on potential mechanisms that underlie the racial discrimination-substance use risk pathway among racial/ethnic minority adults, which may in turn provide important targets for substance use intervention programming for this population.

description: My research explores enhancing stormwater biofilters—systems that filter polluted runoff using plants—by inoculating them with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). These beneficial fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, improving water use and nutrient uptake. Through a series of lab and field experiments, I found that AMF inoculation boosts root growth and plant resilience, particularly under drought conditions. This leads to more efficient pollutant removal and sustained biofilter performance, contributing to improved urban water management and ecosystem health.

description: The world of technology continues to grow each moment and is embraced in all parts of society. The United States Department of Defense has integrated powerful computing technology and systems to bolster its mission of defending the nation. However, computing technology is susceptible to failure from being overworked in certain environments and operational settings. This thesis seeks to identify the feasibility of fault detection and diagnostics from the basis of chemical signature analysis of microelectronics within a system.
Multiple studies relating to fault detection methods exist as fault detection is employed to monitor and maintain the status of an electronic system. The DoD at large employs multiple fault detection methods in order to maintain operational integrity and availability of electronic systems. The study focuses on chemical detection methods as a means of fault detection and diagnosis within electronic systems. The chemical detection method utilizes Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization with Mass Spectrometry to perform bulk sampling procedures in order to create mass-to-charge spectra for interpretation. Rather, this method focuses on non-invasive and pre-emptive failure detection in electronic systems.
Each microelectronic within a computing system has a unique chemical composition, and thus unique bulk chemical signature produced upon failure. The study focuses on Raspberry Pis to test chemical signature output at the power supply in an operational and failure state. By analyzing the signature, predictive failure can be identified with the evolution of Oxalic acid prior and after power supply failure. In conjunction, the tandem mass spectrometry results collected display the evolution of Oxalic acid as carbon dioxide and water molecules are lost resulting in decarboxylation and dehydration of the Raspberry Pi. Through this research, the DoD can better equip the warfighter with predictive fault detection capabilities using chemical detection. In addition, costs and time spent on power, space, and weight applications will be reduced. Overall, operational readiness and superiority will be bolstered in the warfighting environment.
