description: Three-dimensional documentation of natural and cultural geosites is gaining increasing attention as an indicative tool for environmental change. However, the entities therein pose a challenge to current extraction schemes due to their varying dimensions, complex shape, and most importantly, their seamless embedding in the surrounding topography. It is common to approach the extraction of these entities by developing landform-specific methods which are applied in a localized manner. Nonetheless, these methods hardly generalize, and different entities are dealt with independently, even when located at the same site. We propose in this paper a general, content-driven framework for the detection of smoothly embedded entities that, unlike prevalent approaches, seeks no specific form. We focus on salient entities, which attract visual attention within the point cloud and develop a new detection scheme, driven by homogeneity in the entities’ saliency. We show how such formulation requires no approximate location or starting points and does not suffer from weak responses. Therefore, our framework can be readily applied to a multitude entities in various scenes, regardless of type or acquisition technique. We demonstrate our solution on airborne and terrestrial laser scans and detect entities of different types and shapes that feature in both natural and culturally-important sites. As we show, the proposed framework yields improved results compared to state-of-the-art counterparts.

description: This is an extended abstract of a presentation given at EuroCG’22. It has been made public for the benefit of the community and should be considered a preprint rather than a formally reviewed paper. Thus, this work is expected to appear eventually in more final form at a conference with formal proceedings and/or in a journal.
description: Edge-connected configurations of square modules, which can reconfigure through so-called sliding moves, are a well-established theoretical model for modular robots in two dimensions. Dumitrescu and Pach [Graphs and Combinatorics, 2006] proved that it is always possible to reconfigure one such configuration of n squares into any other using O(n2) sliding moves, while maintaining connectivity. For certain pairs of configurations, reconfiguration may require Ω(n2) sliding moves. However, significantly fewer moves may be sufficient. We present Gather&Compact, an input-sensitive in-place algorithm that requires only O(Pn) sliding moves to transform one configuration into the other, where ̄P is the maximum perimeter of the two bounding boxes. Our algorithm is built on the basic principle that well-connected components of modular robots can be transformed efficiently. Hence we iteratively increase the connectivity within a configuration, to finally make it xy-monotone. We implemented Gather&Compact and compared it experimentally to the in-place modification by Moreno and Sacristán [EuroCG 2020] of the Dumitrescu and Pach algorithm (MSDP). Our experiments show that Gather&Compact consistently outperforms MSDP by a significant margin.

description: A Penrose diagram is constructed for an example black hole that evaporates at a steady rate as measured by a distant observer, until the mass vanishes, yielding a final state Minkowski space-time. Coordinate dependencies of significant features, such as the horizon and coordinate anomalies, are clearly demonstrated on the diagram. The large-scale causal structure of the space-time is briefly discussed.

description: We provide an investigation of the P-wave hyperons employing the field correlator method in QCD. This method allows to derive the Effective Hamiltonian successfully applied to the meson and ground state baryon spectra. The hyperon spectrum appears to be expressed through two parameters relevant to QCD, the string tension σ, the strong coupling constant α_s, and the bare strange quark mass m_s. Using these parameters a unified description of the ground and excited hyperon states is achieved. We also briefly consider the nucleon P-wave excitations. In particular, we predict that both the nucleon and hyperon states have the similar cost (in ΔL) ~460 MeV.

description: The effective action induced by chiral fermions can be written, formally, as an overlap of two states. These states are the Fock ground states of Hamiltonians for fermions in even dimensional space with opposite sign mass terms coupled to identical static vector potentials. A perturbative analysis of the overlap in the continuum framework produces the correct anomaly for Abelian gauge fields in two dimensions. When a lattice transfer matrix formalism is applied in the direction perpendicular to a domain wall on which chiral fermions live a lattice version of the overlap is obtained. The real part of the overlap is nonperturbatively defined and previous work indicates that the real part of the vacuum polarization tensor in four dimensions has the correct continuum limit for a chiral theory. The phase of the overlap represents the imaginary part of the chiral action and suffers from ambiguities.

description: In this paper, we model two drivers which underlie the economic trade-off shareholders face in designing incentives for optimal effort allocation by managers. The first driver is limited managerial attention, by which we mean that performing one task may have an adverse effect on the cost-efficiency of performing another. The second is the presence of a performance reporting task, by which we mean the manager’s ability to exert personally costly effort to improve the precision (or quality) of his/her performance measures. We show that the subtle interactions of the two drivers may alter the characteristics of incentive provision. First, we show the interaction may lead to a positive relation between the strength of the incentive and the endogenous variance of the performance measures. Second, the interaction may render an otherwise informative performance signal unused in equilibrium incentive contracts. We show two cases in which an informative signal is unused, for two distinct reasons. In one case the principal does not use the signal whose precision can be improved by the manager, in order to discourages the manager from diverting attention to the performance reporting task (which makes the productive effort more costly). In another case with asymmetric information about the nature of the performance measurement system, the principal may discard the signal which cannot be influenced by the manager in order to encourage a truthful self-report by the manager.

description: Single-walled carbon nanotubes are hollow cylinders, that can grow centimeters long by carbon incorporation at the interface with a catalyst. They display semi-conducting or metallic characteristics, depending on their helicity, that is determined during their growth. To support the quest for a selective synthesis, we develop a thermodynamic model, that relates the tube-catalyst interfacial energies, temperature, and the resulting tube chirality. We show that nanotubes can grow chiral because of the configurational entropy of their nanometer-sized edge, thus explaining experimentally observed temperature evolutions of chiral distributions. Taking the chemical nature of the catalyst into account through interfacial energies, structural maps and phase diagrams are derived, that will guide a rational choice of a catalyst and growth parameters towards a better selectivity.

description: Two possible applications of random decoupling are discussed. Whereas so far decoupling methods have been considered merely for quantum memories, here it is demonstrated that random decoupling is also a convenient tool for stabilizing quantum algorithms. Furthermore, a decoupling scheme is presented which involves a random decoupling method compatible with detected-jump error correcting quantum codes. With this combined error correcting strategy it is possible to stabilize quantum information against both spontaneous decay and static imperfections of a qubit-based quantum information processor in an efficient way.

description: This paper develops and implements a semiparametric estimator for investigating, with panel data, the importance of human capital accumulation, non-separable preferences of females and child care costs on females life-cycle fertility and labor supply behaviors. It presents a model in which the agents' expectations are correlated with their future choices and provides a set of conditions under which statistical inferences are possible from a short panel. Under the assumption that observed allocations are Pareto optimal or that the utility function is quasi linear, a dynamic model of female labor supply, labor force participation and fertility decisions is estimated. In that model, experience on the job raises future wages, time spent nurturing children affects utility, while time spent off the job in the past directly affects current utility (or, indirectly through productivity in the non-market sector). This paper then uses the estimates from the model to conduct different policy simulations which shows that human capital accumulation is the most important determinant of life-cycle fertility behavior. This result is due to the nonlinearity in returns to experience and the fraction of time require for nurturing a new birth. These two effects works in opposite directions, significantly increasing the cost of having a child. The cost of having a child now is not only the foregone wages but more importantly the cost of breaking the career path of the woman when she leaves the labor force or reducing her hours worked in order to have a child. In our simulations many proposed public policies aim at increasing the fertility rate(e.g. maternity leave or free day care services) have little or no effect on the fertility rate and only result in changes in the labor-leisure trade-off. However, when we were able to compensated women for the foregone wage trajectory the fertility rate significantly increases.

description: Investigating the cutoff dependence of the Higgs mass triviality bound, the $ϕ^4$ theory is formulated on an $F_4$ lattice which preserves Lorentz invariance to a higher degree than the commonly used hypercubic lattice. I solve this model non-perturbatively by evaluating the high temperature expansion through 13th order following the approach of Lüscher and Weisz. The results are continued across the transition line into the broken phase by integrating the perturbative RG equations. In the broken phase, the renormalized coupling never exceeds 2/3 of the tree level unitarity bound when $Λ/m_R \geq 2$. The results confirm recent Monte Carlo data and I obtain as an upper bound for the Higgs mass $m_R/f_π\leq 2.46 \pm 0.02_{\rm HTE} \pm 0.08_{\rm PT}$ at $Λ/m_R=2$.

description: We examine the economic and environmental implications of the fuels and propulsion technologies that will be available over the next two decades for powering a large proportion of the light duty fleet (cars and light trucks). Since R&D change is rapid, we treat the uncertainty about future technologies using bounding calculations. A life-cycle perspective is used to analyze fossil fuels [conventional unleaded and reformulated gasolines, low sulfur reformulated diesel, and compressed natural gas (CNG)], ethanol from biomass, and electricity together with current and advanced internal combustion engines (ICE, indirect (port) and direct injection, spark, and compression ignited) and electric vehicles (battery-powered, hybrid electric, and fuel cell). Technological advances continue to improve the efficiency and environmental performance of ICE automobiles powered by low sulfur fossil fuels. Absent a doubling of petroleum prices or stringent regulation [due, for example, to intense concerns about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions], ICE using fossil fuels will dominate the market for the next two decades. CNG cars have low emissions, including GHG, but must be redesigned to store enough CNG to achieve the current range. Battery-powered cars have limited range and are expensive, and the life-cycle of battery components leads to discharges of toxic materials. Although both hybrid and fuel cell vehicles promise better fuel economy and lower emissions, in the near term these do not justify their higher costs. If global warming becomes a major concern, CNG offers carbon dioxide emission reductions of up to 30%, and bioethanol could provide a fuel with no net carbon dioxide emissions, although the bioethanol price would be more than twice current petroleum prices.

description: An accurate method is developed to extract the spin-orbit effective fields through analysis of the results of harmonic Hall voltage measurements by deriving detailed analytical equations, in which both the z-component of the applied magnetic field and the second-order perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are taken into account. The method is tested by analyzing the results of a macrospin simulation. The spin-orbit effective fields extracted from the analysis are found to be in excellent agreement with the input spin-orbit effective fields used for the macrospin simulation over the entire range of the polar magnetization angle and a wide range (0-2) of the ratio of the planar to the anomalous Hall voltage considered in this study. The accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated more clearly via a systematic study involving a comparison of its results with those of the conventional analytical method.

description: We compare the life cycle inventories of near-term fuel-propulsion technologies. We analyze fossil fuels (conventional and reformulated gasolines, low sulfur diesel, and compressed natural gas (CNG)), ethanol from biomass, and electricity, together with internal combustion engines (port and direct injection, spark and compression ignited) and electric vehicles (battery-powered, hybrid electric, and fuel cell). The fuel economy and emissions of conventional internal combustion engines powered by gasoline continue to improve. Unless emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG) are stringently regulated or gasoline prices more than double, gasoline powered internal combustion engines will continue to dominate the light duty fleet. Two appealing alternative fuels are CNG and biomass ethanol. CNG cars have low emissions, including GHG and the fuel is less expensive than gasoline. Biomass ethanol can be renewable and have no net carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. The improved fuel economy and lower emissions of hybrid and fuel cell vehicles do not justify their higher costs. We conclude that neither fuel availability nor environmental emissions need prevent personal transportation vehicles from dominating urban transportation over the next two decades.

description: We probe for operators occurring in the APQCD(``abelian-projected QCD'') action by evaluating abelian-projected $1$-plaquette spectral densities in pure gauge $SU(3)$ fixed to maximal abelian gauge. Couplings $B_{APQCD}(q,L)$ are extracted from the spectral densities for each representation $q$, $L\times L$ plaquette. While APQCD is dominated by a $q=L=1$ resonance, we also find evidence for weakly coupled $L=2$ plaquettes. Moreover, since $B_{APQCD}(1,1) > B_{QED}(1,1)$ even if $β_{QED} > β_c$, $L>1$ plaquettes must be significant since APQCD is confining.

description: Estimation of threshold voltage V T variability for NWFETs has been compu- tationally expensive due to lack of analytical models. Variability estimation of NWFET is essential to design the next generation logic circuits. Compared to any other process induced variabilities, Metal Gate Granularity (MGG) is of paramount importance due to its large impact on V T variability. Here, an analytical model is proposed to estimate V T variability caused by MGG. We extend our earlier FinFET based MGG model to a cylindrical NWFET by sat- isfying three additional requirements. First, the gate dielectric layer is replaced by Silicon of electro-statically equivalent thickness using long cylinder approxi- mation; Second, metal grains in NWFETs satisfy periodic boundary condition in azimuthal direction; Third, electrostatics is analytically solved in cylindri- cal polar coordinates with gate boundary condition defined by MGG. We show that quantum effects only shift the mean of the V T distribution without sig- nificant impact on the variability estimated by our electrostatics-based model. The V T distribution estimated by our model matches TCAD simulations. The model quantitatively captures grain size dependence with σ(V T ) with excellent accuracy (6%error) compared to stochastic 3D TCAD simulations, which is a significant improvement over the state-of- the-art model with fails to produce even a qualitative agreement. The proposed model is 63 times faster compared to commercial TCAD simulations.

description: By reducing the energy and materials required to provide goods and services, nanotechnology has the potential to provide more appealing products while improving environmental performance and sustainability. Whether and how soon this potential could be realized depends on phrasing the right research and development (R&D) questions and pursuing commercialization intelligently. A sufficiently broad perspective at the outset is required to understand economic and technical feasibility, estimate life cycle environmental implications, and minimize unanticipated negative impacts. The rapid rise in federally funded nanotechnology R&D dictates that consideration of societal benefits will have a large role in setting the R&D agenda. We estimate potential selected economic and environmental impacts associated with the use of nanotechnology in the automotive industry. In particular, we project the material processing and fuel economy benefits associated with using a clay−polypropylene nanocomposite instead of steel or aluminum in light-duty vehicle body panels. Although the manufacturing cost is currently higher, a life cycle analysis shows potential benefits in reducing energy use and environment discharges by using a nanocomposite design.

description: We present a guided atom laser. A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is created in a crossed hybrid magnetic and an elongated optical trap, which acts as a matterwave guide. Atoms are extracted from the BEC by radio frequency (rf) outcoupling and then guided in the horizontal optical matterwave guide. This method allows to control the acceleration of the beam and to achieve large de Broglie wavelength. We also measure the longitudinal energy of the guided atom laser using atom optical elements based on a blue light barrier.

description: In this paper we study the life cycle locational choices of heterogeneous households and characterize the dynamics of metropolitan areas. We develop an overlapping generations model for households in of a system of multiple jurisdictions. At each point of time households choose among the finite number of jurisdictions, pick consumption and housing plans, and vote over education expenditures and tax policies. A household’s composition changes over the life cycle as children grow up and leave the household. These changes in turn impact the household’s need for housing and for local public services, particularly education. Households face frictions in relocating. A household may relocate as needs change, bearing the associated financial and psychic costs of moving. Alternatively, the household may choose to remain in a community that suited its initial needs, finding the costs of relocation to be greater than the potential benefits of moving to a community better suited to its changed housing and public education. Our quantitative analysis shows that mobility costs are likely to have a large impact on household sorting patterns. Mobility costs also impact the political decisions that determine local tax and expenditure policies. Finally, we compare centralized and decentralized mechanisms for providing education and their impact on human capital accumulation and welfare.

The background rates for continuum dileptons expected in forthcoming experiments are summarised. Properly augmented by data from ongoing measurements at HERA, these rates will serve as a calibrating background for QGP searches. Recent results on the temperature dependence of the hadronic spectrum obtained in lattice computations below the deconfinement transition are summarised. Light vector meson masses are strongly temperature dependent. Accurate measurements of a resolved $ρ$-peak in dimuon spectra in present experiments are thus of fundamental importance.

description: We study cutoff effects at tree-level of perturbation theory for standard Wilson and Wilson twisted mass fermionic lattice actions with Nf=2 flavour degenerate quarks. The discretization effects are investigated by computing the mass spectrum and decay amplitudes for different hadron interpolating fields and the scaling behaviour towards the continuum limit is analyzed. It is shown that the Wilson and the mass average methods are equivalent and lead to O(a) improved R5-parity even lattice observables. We also demonstrate that automatic O(a) improvement works in case of Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist and that this improvement is realized even if the condition of maximal twist is achieved only up to O(a) cutoff effects. We demonstrate that in the chiral limit standard Wilson fermions show scaling violations of O(a^2) while for maximally twisted mass fermions these violations are only of O(a^4). For our analytical calculations, lattices with sizes L=aN and periodic boundary conditions in the spatial directions have been chosen while infinite extension in the time direction is considered.

title: Supporting Witness Recall and Increasing Witness Cooperation Using Self-Generated Cues and Social Influence
Creators: name: Wheeler, Rebecca Louise
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2022

description: The programme of research that follows addresses two key challenges faced by officers on the frontline of policing: (i) the elicitation of full, detailed, reliable accounts from witnesses, and (ii) increasing the cooperation of reluctant witnesses. The ultimate aim of the research that follows is to identify techniques which can be utilised systematically in the field to equip police officers with evidence-based, simple, and effective interview techniques appropriate for a given situation. In addressing the first of these challenges I draw on key principles of memory (spreading activation, encoding-retrieval specificity, and cue distinctiveness) and propose three distinct self-generated cue mnemonics (a keyword grid, event-line, and concept map). An empirical test of these mnemonics suggests that overall use of self-generated cue mnemonics can increase the amount of correct information reported in a free-recall statement without a cost to accuracy when compared to other-generated cues. As such, self-generated cue mnemonics are an effective and easily implemented means of facilitating witness recall. In addressing the second of these challenges I present the findings of a detailed survey of experienced investigating officers. This addressed (i) practitioner perceptions of both the frequency and common features of encounters with reluctant witnesses, and (ii) effective practice techniques for eliciting information or evidence and building rapport with cooperative and reluctant witnesses. Findings suggest that relationship-based techniques might be particularly effective with reluctant witnesses. On the basis of this I argue that social influence techniques represent a viable means of increasing cooperation and disclosure from reluctant witnesses. A systematic review of compliance literature was conducted with a particular focus on techniques that may increase compliance in an investigative context (i.e. a large request requiring ongoing compliance and with a cost far exceeding a potential benefit). The findings of this review suggest that sequential requests (foot-in-the-door and door-in-the-face requests) may be of practical value in obtaining information from reluctant witnesses. Following this a series of empirical studies assess the effectiveness of these techniques in increasing cooperation of reluctant witnesses in both online and face-to-face contexts. Overall these studies suggest that sequential requests can increase compliance with requests for information. Furthermore, the novel paradigms proposed in Studies 3 and 4 represent a considerable advance in enabling research on reluctant witnesses.

description: Better understanding of Galactic foregrounds is one of the main obstacles to detection of primordial gravitational waves through measurement of the B mode in the polarized microwave sky. We generalize the method proposed in \cite{2011PhRvD..83h3003B} and decompose the polarization signals into the E and B families directly in the domain of the Stokes $Q$, $U$ parameters as $(Q,U)\equiv(Q_E, U_E)+(Q_B,U_B)$. This also enables an investigation of the morphology and the frequency dependence of these two families, which has been done in the WMAP K, Ka (tracing synchrotron emission) and Planck 2015 HFI maps (tracing thermal dust). The results reveal significant differences in spectra between the E and B families. The spectral index of the E family fluctuates less across the sky than that of the B family, and the same tendency occurs for the polarization angles of the dust and synchrotron channels. The new insight from WMAP and Planck data on the North Polar Spur and BICEP2 zones through our method clearly indicates that these zones are characterized by very low polarization intensity of the B family compared to the E family. We have detected global structure of the B family polarization angles at high Galactic latitudes which cannot be attributed to the cosmic microwave background or instrumental noise. However, we cannot exclude instrumental systematics as a partial contributor to these anomalies.

description: We present an approximation to the matrix element for the process e+e- --> e+e-gamma, appropriate to the situation where one or both of the fermions are scattered over very small angles. The leading terms in the situation where all scattering angles are small contains not only terms quadratic in the electron mass, but also quartic and even sextic terms must be included. Special attention is devoted to the numerical stability of the resultant expression. Its relation to several existing formulae is discussed.

description: Due to advances in nanotechnology, the approach to catalytic design is transitioning from trial-and-error to planned design and control. Expected advances should enable the design and construction of catalysts to increase reaction speed, yield, and catalyst durability while also reducing active species loading levels. Nanofabrication techniques enabling precise control over the shape, size, and position of nanoscale platinum-group metal (PGM) particles in automotive catalysts should result in reduced PGM loading levels. These reductions would decrease energy consumption, improve environmental quality, and contribute to sustainable resource usage. We estimate the amount of PGM required to meet U.S. vehicle emissions standards through 2030 based on current catalyst technology. We then estimate the range of PGM that could be saved from potential nanotechnology advances. Finally, we employ economic input−output and process-based life cycle assessment models to estimate the direct and life cycle benefits from reducing PGM mining and refining.

description: Background: The arrhythmogenic role of atrial complex morphology has not yet been clearly elucidated. We hypothesized that bumpy tissue geometry can induce action potential duration (APD) dispersion and wavebreak in atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods and Results: We simulated 2D-bumpy atrial model by varying the degree of bumpiness, and 3D-left atrial (LA) models integrated by LA computed tomographic (CT) images taken from 14 patients with persistent AF. We also analyzed wave-dynamic parameters with bipolar electrograms during AF and compared them with LA-CT geometry in 30 patients with persistent AF. In 2D-bumpy model, APD dispersion increased (p<0.001) and wavebreak occurred spontaneously when the surface bumpiness was higher, showing phase transition-like behavior (p<0.001). Bumpiness gradient 2D-model showed that spiral wave drifted in the direction of higher bumpiness, and phase singularity (PS) points were mostly located in areas with higher bumpiness. In 3D-LA model, PS density was higher in LA appendage (LAA) compared to other LA parts (p<0.05). In 30 persistent AF patients, the surface bumpiness of LAA was 5.8-times that of other LA parts (p<0.001), and exceeded critical bumpiness to induce wavebreak. Wave dynamics complexity parameters were consistently dominant in LAA (p<0.001). Conclusion: The bumpy tissue geometry promotes APD dispersion, wavebreak, and spiral wave drift in in silico human atrial tissue, and corresponds to clinical electro-anatomical maps.

X-Ray Observations of Magnetar SGR 0501+4516 from Outburst to Quiescence

description: Magnetars are neutron stars having extreme magnetic field strengths. Study of their emission properties in quiescent state can help understand effects of a strong magnetic field on neutron stars. SGR 0501+4516 is a magnetar that was discovered in 2008 during an outburst, which has recently returned to quiescence. We report its spectral and timing properties measured with new and archival observations from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, XMM-Newton, and Suzaku. We found that the quiescent spectrum is best fit by a power-law plus two blackbody model, with temperatures of kT_low~0.26 keV and kT_high~0.62 keV. We interpret these two blackbody components as emission from a hotspot and the entire surface. The hotspot radius shrunk from 1.4 km to 0.49 km since the outburst, and there was a significant correlation between its area and the X-ray luminosity, which agrees well with the prediction by the twisted magnetosphere model. We applied the two temperature spectral model to all magnetars in quiescence and found that it could be a common feature among the population. Moreover, the temperature of the cooler blackbody shows a general trend with the magnetar field strength, which supports the simple scenario of heating by magnetic field decay.
