0100101110101101.ORG E A CIDADE: Apropriação e mentira como técnicas de recuperação do espaço urbano desgastado
Creators: name: Moreira, Pedro Henrique Resende
Publisher: name: Labfront/UEMG
Year: 2023

description: Este trabalho é composto por uma análise das obras Nike Ground (2003) e Fukushima Texture Pack (2016) da dupla de artistas italianos Eva e Franco Mattes. Percebendo-as como táticas divergentes de subversão do espaço urbano desgastado figurativa e literalmente, analisaremos a prática dos Mattes dentro dos conceitos de détournement situacionista e dos escritos de Mark Fisher acerca do “realismo capitalista”. Analisaremos, então, como os artistas utilizam tais problemáticas em meio a comunicação de massa e a circulação digital a partir da apropriação e da mentira para apontar como, apesar do desgaste simbólico da presença imagética publicitária e da devastação ambiental de formas de energia que sustentam nosso sistema, ainda somos capazes de produção de sentido e atribuição poética nos espaços que ocupamos.
Fuzzy linear programming and reservoir management
Creators: name: Kaseke, Evans
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The presence of imprecision in parameter specification of water resources management problems leads to the formulation of fuzzy programming models. This thesis presents the formulation of a two-reservoir system problem as a fuzzy L.P. model. The aim is to determine if larger monetary benefits, over and above the usual benefits, can be obtained from the system. The other aim is to determine if desired industrial and domestic water allocations, as well as outflows for selected periods can be achieved. The problem is formulated as a conventional L.P. model. Then selected water allocations and outflows are fuzzified resulting in a fuzzy L.P. model. The alternative fuzzy L.P. model is also presented. Monetary benefits larger than those from the conventional L.P. were obtained through the fuzzy L.P. model. The desired water allocations and outflows were also realised for selected periods. Sensitivity information was obtained for fuzzy and non-fuzzy constraints. The alternative fuzzy L.P. model did not give additional valuable information than that obtained from the initial fuzzy L.P. model.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία ερευνά την προσφορά των αθωνικών μετοχίων στην πνευματική και οικονομική ανάπτυξη των ιερών καθιδρυμάτων της μοναστικής κοινότητας του Αγίου Όρους, αλλά και της τοπικής κοινωνίας εγκαθίδρυσής τους. Μέσα από την αξιοποίηση των πηγών και την παράθεση αντιπροσωπευτικών παραδειγμάτων, καταβάλλεται προσπάθεια ανάδειξης σημαντικών πτυχών του σύνθετου αυτού φαινομένου. Ήδη, από τις απαρχές του κοινοβιακού αγιορειτικού μοναχισμού, οργανώνονται αγροτικές παραγωγικές μονάδες εκτός Αγίου Όρους σε όμορες αρχικά προς αυτό περιοχές, με προνομιακή φορολογική μεταχείριση εκ μέρους των βυζαντινών αυτοκρατόρων, συμβάλλοντας καθοριστικά στην επιβίωση και εδραίωσή τους. Πολλές από αυτές εξελίσσονται σε αστικές μονάδες και εκτείνονται σε γεωγραφικές περιοχές πέραν των στενών ορίων του ελλαδικού χώρου, μεταφέροντας την αγιοπνευματική και λειτουργική αγιορειτική παράδοση σε ολόκληρο τον ορθόδοξο κόσμο. Δημιουργείται δηλαδή ένα πυκνό δίκτυο διακίνησης υλικών και πνευματικών αγαθών και μια σθεναρή, αμφίδρομη σχέση ζωτικής σημασίας για τα εμπλεκόμενα μέρη, που συνεχίζεται με ποσοτικές και ποιοτικές διακυμάνσεις, τόσο κατά την Οθωμανική περίοδο, όσο και κατά τα χρόνια μετά την Απελευθέρωση, φτάνοντας μέχρι τις μέρες μας.
description: This survey researches the contribution of the glebes of Mount Athos to the spiritual and economic development of the holy foundations of the monastic community of Mount Athos, but also of the local society that founded them. Through the use of sources and the citation of representative examples, an effort is made to highlight important aspects of this complex phenomenon. Already, from the beginnings of synovian monasticism, agricultural production units were organized outside Mount Athos in areas originally bordering it, with preferential tax treatment on the part of the Byzantine emperors, contributing decisively to their survival and consolidation. Many of them develop into urban units and extend to geographical areas beyond the narrow limits of the Greek land, transferring the holy-spiritual and operational tradition of Mount Athos to the entire Orthodox world. In other words, a dense network of material and spiritual goods was created and a strong, two-way relationship of vital importance for the parties involved, which continues with quantitative and qualitative fluctuations, both during the Ottoman period and during the years after the Liberation, reaching to the present day.

Τα συχνότερα προβλήματα ψυχικής υγείας περιλαμβάνουν το υψηλό άγχος και την κατάθλιψη, ενώ οι φροντιστές παρουσιάζουν υψηλή κόπωση, διαταραχές ύπνου, κακή σωματική υγεία, κοινωνική απομόνωση, επιβαρυντικές συνήθειες (κάπνισμα, κατανάλωση αλκοόλ, ανθυγιεινή διατροφή) και υποβάθμιση της ποιότητας ζωής τους. Οι ηλικιωμένοι φροντιστές, οι φροντιστές χαμηλής κοινωνικοοικονομικής κατάστασης με περιορισμένα δίκτυα κοινωνικής στήριξης αναφέρουν χειρότερη ψυχική και ψυχοσωματική υγεία. Σύγχρονες μελέτες έχουν δείξει πως η παροχή ψυχολογικής στήριξης και τα εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα είναι δυνατόν να μειώσουν την πίεση των φροντιστών ασθενών με χρόνια νόσο τελικού σταδίου. Οι ανάγκες των φροντιστών ασθενών με χρόνια νόσο τελικού σταδίου πρέπει να ενσωματώνονται στον σχεδιασμό και την παροχή υγειονομικής περίθαλψης.

description: Informal caregivers, who are usually family members, play an essential role in the care of people with terminal chronic The multiple stressors associated with end-of-life caregiving can cause serious negative outcomes in caregivers mental and psychosomatic health. The most common mental health problems include high anxiety and depression, while caregivers experience high fatigue, sleep disorders, poor physical health, social isolation, aggravating habits (smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet) and a deterioration in their quality of life. Older caregivers, low socioeconomic status caregivers with limited social support networks report poorer mental and psychophysical health. Recent studies have shown that providing psychological support and educational programs can reduce caregiver stress. The needs of caregivers of patients with chronic end-stage disease must be integrated into health care planning and delivery. It is necessary to design appropriate methods of training and psycho-emotional and social support of the caregiver.

description: Several studies on return diplomacy focus on how the EU and its member states use their power  and resources to shape negotiation outcomes and control migration by developing bilateral,  regional, and inter-regional mechanisms and through international organizations. As a result, studies on return (migration) diplomacy either look at negotiations from a top-down standpoint, highlighting the inherent Eurocentrism of migration diplomacy, or the bilateral negotiations between the EU, member states, and third countries and how non-EU countries navigate the power of asymmetries in their negotiations, as well as the EU’s turn to informality in negotiating returns. As a result, there is a general research gap on return diplomacy between African regional and supranational bodies and a specific research gap on developing a continent-wide and intra-regional approach in Africa to the EU’s return diplomacy. This study aims to address this gap and focuses on understanding the place return occupies in the AU’s existing migration policy frameworks and studying the AU’s approach to return and readmission. With a mix of tools including a review of relevant policy papers and expert interviews, this study seeks to understand transregional dialogues and contesting regional mobility agendas and contribute to efforts to understand the interests and perspectives of actors in the Global South.

description: We present estimates for the number of shadow-resolved supermassive black hole (SMBH) systems that can be detected using radio interferometers, as a function of angular resolution, flux density sensitivity, and observing frequency. Accounting for the distribution of SMBHs across mass, redshift, and accretion rate, we use a new semi-analytic spectral energy distribution model to derive the number of SMBHs with detectable and optically thin horizon-scale emission. We demonstrate that (sub)millimeter interferometric observations with ${\sim}0.1$ $μ$as resolution and ${\sim}1$ $μ$Jy sensitivity could access ${>}10^6$ SMBH shadows. We then further decompose the shadow source counts into the number of black holes for which we could expect to observe the first- and second-order lensed photon rings. Accessing the bulk population of first-order photon rings requires ${\lesssim}2$ $μ$as resolution and ${\lesssim}0.5$ mJy sensitivity, while doing the same for second-order photon rings requires ${\lesssim}0.1$ $μ$as resolution and ${\lesssim}5$ $μ$Jy sensitivity. Our model predicts that with modest improvements to sensitivity, as many as $\sim$5 additional horizon-resolved sources should become accessible to the current Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), while a next-generation EHT observing at 345 GHz should have access to ${\sim}$3 times as many sources. More generally, our results can help guide enhancements of current arrays and specifications for future interferometric experiments that aim to spatially resolve a large population of SMBH shadows or higher-order photon rings.

description: Photon-induced reactions play a key role in the nucleosynthesis of rare neutron-deficient p-nuclei. The paper focuses on (gamma,alpha), (gamma,p), and (gamma,n) reactions which define the corresponding p-process path. The relation between stellar reaction rates and laboratory cross sections is analyzed for photon-induced reactions and their inverse capture reactions to evaluate various experimental approaches. An improved version S_C(E) of the astrophysical S-factor is suggested which is based on the Coulomb wave functions. S_C(E) avoids the apparent energy dependence which is otherwise obtained for capture reactions on heavy nuclei. It is found that a special type of synchrotron radiation available at SPring-8 that mimics stellar blackbody radiation at billions of Kelvin is a promising tool for future experiments. By using the blackbody synchrotron radiation, sufficient event rates for (gamma,alpha) and (gamma,p) reactions in the p-process path can be expected. These experiments will provide data to improve the nuclear parameters involved in the statistical model and thus reduce the uncertainties of nucleosynthesis calculations.

description: The aim of the thesis was to investigate and research the perceptions of the young people of Naoussa, age from 18 to 45 years old, regarding the environmental problems that exist in modern urban cities and the formation of a sustainable city. For the implementation of the research, the questionnaire was used, which was constructed for the needs of the research, and based on relevant research tools searched in the literature. Our samples consisted of 105 participants, and all of them were considered suitable for processing. Then we presented the results of the survey. From the assessment of the survey data, it was evident that young people have feelings of anger and concern, about their city environment. They are aware of the concept and purpose of Sustainable (Sustainable) Development and are willing to adopt environmentally friendly behaviours in order to help the city's natural environment and live more "sustainably".

description: We study modulational instability (MI) in optical fibers with random group velocity dispersion (GVD) generated by sharply localized perturbations of a normal GVD fiber that are either randomly or periodically placed along the fiber and that have random strength. This perturbation leads to the appearance of low frequency MI side lobes that grow with the strength of the perturbations, whereas they are faded by randomness in their position. If the random perturbations exhibit a finite average value, they can be compared with periodically perturbed fibers, where Arnold tongues appear. In that case, increased randomness in the strengths of the variations tends to affect the Arnold tongues less than increased randomness in their positions.

description: Churches have played a central role in African American communities for decades. In addition to religious services, African American churches have increasingly offered a variety of health programs. However, there is a dearth of empirical literature on church-initiated health programming. This study examines quantity and variety of health programs and areas addressed by a convenience sample of African American churches (N = 119), as well as church characteristics that predict these health initiatives. Churches offered a mean of 6.08 (SD = 2.15) health programs targeting 4.66 (SD = 3.63) different health topics within the previous 12 months. Various church characteristics indicating greater availability of programming resources were positively associated with the quantity and variety of health initiatives. It is recommended that practitioners partner with under-resourced churches to support their existing health activities and address gaps in health programming. Future research should seek to evaluate the effectiveness of church-initiated health programs.

description: The reaction $π^{-}p \to ηn$ is investigated within a dynamical coupled-channels model of meson production reactions in the nucleon resonance region. The meson baryon channels included are $πN$, $ηN$, $πΔ$, $σN$, and $ρN$. The non-resonant meson-baryon interactions of the model are derived from a set of Lagrangians by using a unitary transformation method. One or two excited nucleon states in each of $S$, $P$, $D$, and $F$ partial waves are included to generate the resonant amplitudes. Data of $π^{-}p \to ηn$ reaction from threshold up to a total center-of-mass energy of about 2 GeV are satisfactorily reproduced and the roles played by the following nine nucleon resonances are investigated: $S_{11}(1535)$, $S_{11}(1650)$, $P_{11}(1440)$, $P_{11}(1710)$, $P_{13}(1720)$, $D_{13}(1520)$, $D_{13}(1700)$, $D_{15}(1675)$, and $F_{15}(1680)$. The reaction mechanism as well as the predicted $ηN$ scattering length are discussed.

description: Any attempt and procedure of decolonisation of a country, institution, object of theory, field or practice needs to start from questioning the stories and narratives mobilized to support normative axioms and in this way question the norm. Central argument of this dissertation is that choreographies in the dark or in the realm of shadow destabilize dance’s aesthetic autonomy which relies and is subjugated in the transcendental field of light. In the first chapter we will see the emergence of postcolonial critique and studies and its relation to decolonial thinking. In the second chapter we present the methodology used after Rolando Vasquez’s decolonial path and possible applications in the field of choreography. In the third chapter we examine the emergence of choreography as an apparatus of capture in early modernity and more specifically in the early Renaissance, through historical and anthropological archives. The last chapter is devoted to the analysis of the choreographic work “sight lines” which was the final choreographic piece presented in the context of the current master thesis, and how it is related with decolonial thinking and praxis.

Predicting axially and laterally loaded pile behaviour using in-situ testing methods
Creators: name: Davies, Michael Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The prediction of axial and lateral pile behaviour is a complex engineering problem. Traditional methods of data collection and subsequent analyses are frequently in error when compared to full-scale, load tests. In-situ testing, using advanced electronic tools, provides a means by which representative field data may be obtained. This study investigates the use of such in-situ data in predicting axially loaded pile capacity and laterally loaded pile load-deflection behaviour. A total of twelve static axial pile capacity methods were evaluated to predict the results obtained from eight full-scale pile load tests on six different piles. These methods, separated into direct and indirect classes, used data obtained from the cone penetration test. Extensive use of commercially available microcomputer software significantly simplified the analyses. In addition, several dynamic pile capacity predictions are presented including results from in-situ dynamic measurements obtained with a pile driving analyzer during pile emplacement. An attempt has been made, with the use of tell-tales, to differentiate the shaft resistance and end-bearing components of the load test results. These results are then compared to the prediction methods investigated. Two methods of predicting lateral load-deflection behaviour using in-situ data have been investigated. One method uses pressuremeter test data and the other, a new method proposed in this study, uses full-displacement flat plate dilatometer test data. These predictions are compared with full-scale lateral load tests on three piles of differing size. In both the axial and lateral load cases, the preferred method(s) of analyses are identified. It is shown that excellent agreement can be obtained for predicting measured pile behaviour using several methods. The limitations of this study are noted, and recommendations for further research are proposed.

description: The Turing Way (https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/welcome) is a community-driven open source book project that involves and supports a diverse research community in ensuring that reproducible, collaborative, ethical and inclusive data research is "too easy not to do". Using this project as a model, I will discuss the importance of collaborative development, documentation and sharing best practices that can be adopted by various stakeholders to make their research more reproducible and effective. Built upon a culture of collaboration, The Turing Way is designed to be welcoming, inclusive and accessible to its members from diverse backgrounds and expertise. It is an open source project, that facilitates all contributions, questions, comments, and discussions via an online repository: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way. Since last year, more than 200 researchers have contributed to this project. They have co-authored chapters and developed resources that have been used by the scientific communities worldwide in learning and promoting reproducible methods in different computational research communities. The project has grown from a small team of 10 researchers to a community of collaborators from around the world. The scope of The Turing Way book has also expanded to include the different aspects of reproducibility, project design, collaboration, communication, and ethics in data research. We continue to support our members in learning new skills and facilitate their interaction with the project via online co-working spaces and mentored-contributions. We believe that projects like The Turing Way, that promote a culture of collaboration, can have a significant impact on improving access to information and the equitable decision-making process by our peers and future generations. We further invite FOSS participants to make use of The Turing Way and participate in its community by contributing and enhancing its resources with their perspectives.

description: The model of the earth's rotation and revolution around the sun well explains the sunrise, sunset and the changes in the four seasons. However, this model cannot explain why the observed direction of a constellation changes with the seasons. In order to solve this problem, I take the earth as the origin of reference system to observe the sun and the planets in the solar system. The observation results in the new reference system can not only explain the changes of sunrise, sunset and the four seasons, but also reasonably explain the changes in the directions of Ursa Major with the four seasons.

description: By measuring the magnetization hysteresis loops of superconducting Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 single crystals, we obtained the high upper critical field and large current carrying ability, which point to optimistic applications. The fishtail (or second peak) effect is also found in the material, and the position of the vortex pinning force shows a maximum at 1/3 of the reduced field, being consistent with the picture of vortex pinning by small size normal cores in the sample. Together with the resistive measurements, for the first time the vortex phase diagram is obtained for superconductor Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2.

description: We describe a technique for mapping the spatial variation of static electric, static magnetic, and rf magnetic fields using a pulsed atomic or molecular beam. The method is demonstrated using a beam designed to measure the electric dipole moment of the electron. We present maps of the interaction region, showing sensitivity to (i) electric field variation of 1.5 V/cm at 3.3 kV/cm with a spatial resolution of 15 mm; (ii) magnetic field variation of 5 nT with 25 mm resolution; (iii) radio-frequency magnetic field amplitude with 15 mm resolution. This new diagnostic technique is very powerful in the context of high-precision atomic and molecular physics experiments, where pulsed beams have not hitherto found widespread application.

description: We show that axions interacting with abelian gauge fields obtain a potential from loops of magnetic monopoles. This is a consequence of the Witten effect: the axion field causes the monopoles to acquire an electric charge and alters their energy spectrum. The axion potential can also be understood as a type of instanton effect due to a Euclidean monopole worldline winding around its dyon collective coordinate. We calculate this effect, which has features in common with both nonabelian instantons and Euclidean brane instantons. To provide consistency checks, we argue that this axion potential vanishes in the presence of a massless charged fermion and that it is robust against the presence of higher-derivative corrections in the effective Lagrangian. Finally, as a first step toward connecting with particle phenomenology and cosmology, we discuss the regime in which this potential is important in determining the dark matter relic abundance in a hidden sector containing an abelian gauge group, monopoles, and axions.

description: This design-research thesis explores the educational benefits of outdoor experiential learning for children, particularly in urban areas, and proposes a redesign of a 100-acre urban park to serve as an educational resource. This thesis first develops a theoretical framework based on research that nature can have restorative effects on attention that improve learning and behavior (Berman, Jonides, & Kaplan, 2008; Kaplan, 1995; Matsuoka, 2010). The focus of this thesis is Oxon Run Park located in Southeast Washington, DC. The proposed redesign includes educational spaces that can be visited and experienced by the local community or school classes, while focus areas at targeted locations concentrate educational resources that can enhance classroom learning. The research and redesign of Oxon Run Park addresses the question of how public spaces can be designed to serve as educational resources.

description: The knowledge of the ages of stars hosting exoplanets allows us to obtain an overview on the evolution of exoplanets and understand the mechanisms affecting their life. The measurement of the ages of stars in the Galaxy is usually affected by large uncertainties. An exception are the stellar clusters: for their coeval members, born from the same molecular cloud, ages can be measured with extreme accuracy. In this context, the project PATHOS is providing candidate exoplanets orbiting members of stellar clusters and associations through the analysis of high-precision light curves obtained with cutting-edge tools. In this work, we exploited the data collected during the second year of the TESS mission. We extracted, analysed, and modelled the light curves of $\sim 90000$ stars in open clusters located in the northern ecliptic hemisphere in order to find candidate exoplanets. We measured the frequencies of candidate exoplanets in open clusters for different orbital periods and planetary radii, taking into account the detection efficiency of our pipeline and the false positive probabilities of our candidates. We analysed the Age--$R_{\rm P}$ distribution of candidate and confirmed exoplanets with periods $<100$ days and well constrained ages. While no peculiar trends are observed for Jupiter-size and (super-)Earth-size planets, we found that objects with $4\,R_{\rm Earth} \lesssim R_{\rm P} \lesssim 13\,R_{\rm Earth}$ are concentrated at ages $\lesssim 200$ Myr; different scenarios (atmospheric losses, migration, etc.) are considered to explain the observed age-$R_{\rm P}$ distribution.

description: The article breaks down supply chain risks into contractual risks arising from the legal form of different contract formats being fixed price contracts, variable cost contracts and target cost contracts; and behavioural risks arising from how buyers and sellers obtain and maintain monetary relationships.
Action research (Lewin 1944, Revans 1991) is the methodology used. Insights described in this article have been generalised from client work in the British rail industry, British construction industry and Australian rail industry during client assignments carried out by internal audit consulting firm Kelly Partners LLP (UK) and Kelly & Yang (Australia) in collaboration with client audit and procurement personnel.
As each type of risk is dissected and explained, strategies which can be used by internal audit or management are presented in order to minimise supply chain risk. In many cases cost recoveries can be achieved through obtaining evidence of over-charging. In this way the article can be transformed into a checklist by converting each sentence into an audit step. Although not explicitly stated in the article text, several million dollars in cost recoveries have been achieved for clients using the investigative and analytical techniques described. Achievement of those cost recoveries has required co-operation from client management, legal and finance personnel.
The article is written from the perspective of the buying organisation, not the selling organisation. If read through the eyes of the selling organisation, the article could be used as a profit maximisation checklist where the buying organisation is not alert to supply chain risks.

Καραμανλή. Εξετάσαμε τα αποχαρακτηρισμένα από το State Department αρχεία διπλωματικών επαφών των κυβερνήσεων με τις ΗΠΑ, το αρχείο Καραμανλή και ένα διευρυμένο κομμάτι της σχετικής βιβλιογραφίας. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάσαμε αναλυτικά τα χαρακτηριστικά της ελληνικής πολιτικής οικονομίας της υπό έρευνα εποχής 1954 – 1963, τα περιστατικά των σχετικών διπλωματικών επαφών και τις πολιτικές και διεθνείς εξελίξεις που επέδρασαν στο υπό διερεύνηση ζήτημα. Ακόμη αναφερθήκαμε στα μοντέλα κατανόησης της πολιτικής οικονομίας και την σχέση τους με την διεθνή γεωπολιτική κατάσταση. Εν τέλει, ασχοληθήκαμε με την ιστορική διάσταση της μεταπολεμικής οικοδόμησης του ελληνικού καπιταλισμού με βάση το ευρύτερο ερώτημα της τοποθέτησης του στο παγκόσμιο καταμερισμό εργασίας και παραγωγής και διαπιστώσαμε την ιστορική διαδικασία ένταξής του στο ιμπεριαλιστικό σύστημα της αμερικανικής ηγεμονίας με ανατροφοδοτούμενους όρους οικονομικής και πολιτικής εξάρτησης.
description: The aim of the thesis was to study the post-war reconstruction of the Greek economy after the Marshall Plan and the conditions of economic and political dependence that were structured by the choices of the governments of Karamanlis. We examined the declassified State Department records of the governments' diplomatic contacts with the United States, the Karamanlis archive and an expanded body of relevant literature. We then presented in detail the characteristics of the Greek political economy of the period under investigation, 1954-1963, the incidents of relevant diplomatic contacts, and the political and international developments that influenced the issue under investigation. We also referred to the models of understanding the political economy and their relation to the international geopolitical situation. Finally, we dealt with the historical dimension of the post-war construction of Greek capitalism based on the broader question of its positioning in the global division of labour and production, and established the historical process of its integration into the imperialist system of American hegemony with feedback conditions of economic and political dependence.

description: We investigate the storage of light in atomic rubidium vapor using a multilevel-tripod scheme. In the system, two collective dark polariton modes exist, forming an effective spinor quasiparticle. Storage of light is performed by dynamically reducing the optical group velocity to zero. After releasing the stored pulse, a beating of the two reaccelerated optical modes is monitored. The observed beating signal oscillates at an atomic transition frequency, opening the way to novel quantum limited measurements of atomic resonance frequencies and quantum switches.

description: Understanding and interpreting a 3d environment is a key challenge for autonomous vehicles. Semantic segmentation of 3d point clouds combines 3d information with semantics and thereby provides a valuable contribution to this task. In many real-world applications, point clouds are generated by lidar sensors in a consecutive fashion. Working with a time series instead of single and independent frames enables the exploitation of temporal information. We therefore propose a recurrent segmentation architecture (RNN), which takes a single range image frame as input and exploits recursively aggregated temporal information. An alignment strategy, which we call Temporal Memory Alignment, uses ego motion to temporally align the memory between consecutive frames in feature space. A Residual Network and ConvGRU are investigated for the memory update. We demonstrate the benefits of the presented approach on two large-scale datasets and compare it to several stateof-the-art methods. Our approach ranks first on the SemanticKITTI multiple scan benchmark and achieves state-of-the-art performance on the single scan benchmark. In addition, the evaluation shows that the exploitation of temporal information significantly improves segmentation results compared to a single frame approach.
