description: Conflicting sensor measurements pose a huge problem for the environment representation of an autonomous robot. Therefore, in this paper, we address the self-assessment of an evidential grid map in which data from conflicting LiDAR sensor measurements are fused, followed by methods for robust motion planning under these circumstances. First, conflicting measurements aggregated in Subjective-Logic-based evidential grid maps are classified. Then, a self-assessment framework evaluates these conflicts and estimates their severity for the overall system by calculating a degradation score. This enables the detection of calibration errors and insufficient sensor setups. In contrast to other motion planning approaches, the information gained from the evidential grid maps is further used inside our proposed path-planning algorithm. Here, the impact of conflicting measurements on the current motion plan is evaluated, and a robust and curious path-planning strategy is derived to plan paths under the influence of conflicting data. This ensures that the system integrity is maintained in severely degraded environment representations which can prevent the unnecessary abortion of planning tasks.

description: I analyze energy-efficiency policy as a prescription of a minimum-efficiency standard for energy-using household goods like cars, building insulation, and home appliances. Such a policy has two effects. At the intensive margin, a household that invests will choose a more efficient device. At the extensive margin, there will be more households that choose not to invest at all. Thus, additional to and different from rebound effects, energy-efficiency policy may have unintended consequences. I analyze the equilibrium effects of a minimum-efficiency standard, taking price adjustments and household heterogeneity into account. A moderate minimum-efficiency standard increases demand for efficiency-enhancing household capital goods, and reduces energy demand. More stringent policy is shown to be less effective or even counterproductive. For the case of a fixed supply of efficiency-enhancing capital, it is shown that minimum-efficiency standards increase equilibrium energy demand. Finally, I analyze which households benefit from minimum-efficiency standards and which ones lose. A standard induces investing households to expend more for household capital and less for energy. The wedge between the induced expenditures and the private optimum is analyzed as a deadweight loss.

description: The global nature of the climatic challenge requires a high level of cooperation among agents, especially since most of the related coping strategies produce some kind of externalities toward others. Whether they are positive or negative, the presence of externalities may lead the system towards Pareto-dominated states. In this work, we study under and over-adoption of environmental adaptation technologies which enhance environmental quality for the individual while transferring externalities to other agents. We distinguish adaptation technologies between maladaptation and mitigation ones, depending on the sign of the externalities. In particular, we show that over adoption may occur for maladaptive technologies, whereas under-adoption may occur in case of mitigation. We study a model with two regions at different stages of development, which allows us to draw considerations on well-being consequences of environmental dumping.

description: The Digital Futures project was funded by ESRC following a gap identified in the Methods Infrastructure portfolio for qualitative data. It aims to maximize the impact from existing research and resource investments. We promised to deliver access to key post-war qualitative data via online data browsing and exploration, using robust data standards identified by the DDI qualitative working group. In this paper we will describe how we: prioritized data for large-scale digitization by targeting scholarly communities; specified an open-source publishing and data delivery system; employed a mechanism for reliably citing data at the sub- collection level to enable the publication of enhanced outputs and publishing data as linked data resources. The work will be fully integrated into the new UK Data Services ingest and data discovery and delivery architecture.

description: It is shown that the ground state of weakly interacting Bose particles in a quasi one-dimensional box trap can be converted into an excited stationary state by an adiabatic cyclic operation that involves a quench of interaction strength: A sharp impurity potential is applied and its strength is varied during the cycle, which induces a nonequilibrium stationary state exhibiting the inversion of population. This process is robust in the sense that the resultant stationary state is almost independent of the details of the cycle, such as the position of the impurity as long as the cycle is far enough from critical regions. The case of the failure of the population inversion due to the strong interparticle interactions is also examined.

description: LiDAR bundle adjustment (BA) is an effective approach to reduce the drifts in pose estimation from the front-end. Existing works on LiDAR BA usually rely on predefined geometric features for landmark representation. This reliance restricts generalizability, as the system will inevitably deteriorate in environments where these specific features are absent. To address this issue, we propose SGBA, a LiDAR BA scheme that models the environment as a semantic Gaussian mixture model (GMM) without predefined feature types. This approach encodes both geometric and semantic information, offering a comprehensive and general representation adaptable to various environments. Additionally, to limit computational complexity while ensuring generalizability, we propose an adaptive semantic selection framework that selects the most informative semantic clusters for optimization by evaluating the condition number of the cost function. Lastly, we introduce a probabilistic feature association scheme that considers the entire probability density of assignments, which can manage uncertainties in measurement and initial pose estimation. We have conducted various experiments and the results demonstrate that SGBA can achieve accurate and robust pose refinement even in challenging scenarios with low-quality initial pose estimation and limited geometric features. We plan to open-source the work for the benefit of the community https://github.com/Ji1Xinyu/SGBA.

description: The paper studies the use of emission taxes and feed-in subsidies for the regulation of a monopoly that can produce the same good with a technology that employs a polluting input and a clean technology. The second-best tax and subsidy are calculated solving a two-stage policy game between the regulator and the monopoly with the regulator acting as the leader of the game. We find that the second-best tax rate is the Pigouvian tax. The tax implements the efficient level of the dirty output but does not affect the total output. On the other hand, the subsidy leads to the monopoly to reduce the dirty output but also to increase the total output. This increase in total output may yield a larger net social welfare when the subsidy is used provided that the marginal cost of clean output is not very high, as a linear-quadratic specification of the model confirms. Finally, it is showed that the combination of an emission tax with a feed-in subsidy induces the firm to choose the efficient outputs, but in this case the first-best tax must be lower than the Pigouvian tax. Thus, the findings of this paper support the idea that feed-in subsidies open the possibility for improving the regulation of a polluting firm with market power.

Final state interactions are included within the distorted wave impulse approximation, by means of a relativistic optical potential, with and without imaginary part, and of a relativistic mean field potential. For comparison with experimental data the inclusive charged--current quasielastic cross section for $ν_μ$--$^{12}C$ scattering in the kinematical conditions of the LSND experiment at Los Alamos is also presented and briefly discussed.

Performing an up-to-date global analysis of solar, atmospheric, reactor and long baseline neutrino data in the context of three-neutrino oscillations, we determine the presently allowed ranges of masses and mixing and we consistently derive the allowed magnitude of the elements of the leptonic mixing matrix. We also quantify the maximum allowed contribution of Δm^2_{21} oscillations to CP-odd and CP-even observables at future long baseline experiments.

description: Synthetic crystal lattices provide ideal environments for simulating and exploring the band structure of solid-state materials in clean and controlled experimental settings. Physical realisations have, so far, dominantly focused on implementing irreversible patterning of the system, or interference techniques such as optical lattices of cold atoms. Here, we realise reprogrammable synthetic band-structure engineering in an all optical exciton-polariton lattice. We demonstrate polariton condensation into excited states of linear one-dimensional lattices, periodic rings, dimerised non-trivial topological phases, and defect modes utilising malleable optically imprinted non-Hermitian potential landscapes. The stable excited nature of the condensate lattice with strong interactions between sites results in an actively tuneable non-Hermitian analogue of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger system.

description: Two important pieces of nuclear structure are many-body collective deformations and single-particle spin-orbit splitting. The former can be well-described microscopically by simple SU(3) irreps, but the latter mixes SU(3) irreps, which presents a challenge for large-scale, ab initio calculations on fast modern computers. Nonetheless, SU(3)-like phenomenology remains even in the face of strong mixing. The robustness of band structure is reminiscent of robust, pairing collectivity that arises from random two-body interactions.

The UK Data Service: Delivering Open and Restricted Data (and Everything In-between)
Creators: name: Welpton, Richard
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: With the Open versus Restricted data debate in full throttle, we are in danger of forgetting about the intermediate access options (not quite open, not quite restricted, but access with conditions attached as appropriate to the data). Providing an array of data access options which vary in stringency with confidentiality, is a useful mechanism in which researchers self-select access, depending upon their data requirements. This actually opens up data while helping to protect the security of confidential data. Formally launched in October 2012, the UK Data Service is a new service that is mandated to provide an entire spectrum of access options, from open data to restricted sensitive data, including a number of options in-between. This paper presents the new arrangements for economic and social data access via the new UK Data Service, and demonstrates why offering a range of access options (the full Data Access Spectrum), from downloadable open data to more restricted access, increases the range of data available, and widens research possibilities, while maximizing returns from investments made in data delivery.

description: The flood of digital data, which arises from studies in the social sciences or results from satellite missions in earth or space sciences, is growing rapidly. The permanent storage and its provision for future generations of researchers represent a challenge to the entire science system, however, many questions still remain unresolved. Financial aspects, organizational and technology issues in creating multi-disciplinary research data infrastructures, as well as legal and political framework need to be clarified. These challenges will be discussed in the context of this session, which will take the form of a discussion panel introduced by four presentations The data life cycle will serve as the guideline for the presentations which take a closer look at its specific challenges. The overall objective is the development of a multi-disciplinary research data infrastructure. The second presentation takes a closer look at the Group Domain represented by VREs.

description: In this study, we propose an ensemble long short-term memory (EnLSTM) network, which can be trained on a small dataset and process sequential data. The EnLSTM is built by combining the ensemble neural network (ENN) and the cascaded long short-term memory (C-LSTM) network to leverage their complementary strengths. In order to resolve the issues of over-convergence and disturbance compensation associated with training failure owing to the nature of small-data problems, model parameter perturbation and high-fidelity observation perturbation methods are introduced. The EnLSTM is compared with commonly-used models on a published dataset, and proven to be the state-of-the-art model in generating well logs with a mean-square-error (MSE) reduction of 34%. In the case study, 12 well logs that cannot be measured while drilling are generated based on logging-while-drilling (LWD) data. The EnLSTM is capable to reduce cost and save time in practice.

description: A key determinant and outcome of successful environmental education is ‘pro-environmental behavior’, i.e., behavior that involves conscious action to mitigate adverse environmental impacts at personal or community level, e.g., reducing resource consumption and waste generation, avoiding toxic substances, and organizing community awareness initiatives. However, some theorists have sought to move away from rationalist models of behavioral modification, towards holistic pedagogical initiatives that seek to develop action competence. In light of the global push towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emerging evidence suggests that education initiatives should foster action competence so students may be equipped to contribute to sustainable development as part of their education. The UNESCO Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Roadmap 2030 has also identified key priority areas to strengthen ESD in formal curricula. This article reports two informal environmental education initiatives for promoting action competence and pro-environmental behaviors in school-aged children. The authors recommend that formal education settings (e.g., schools) should incorporate self-directed, free-choice project-based learning to augment environmental education programs and promote students’ action competence for contribution to attainment of SDGs. To this end, we propose a Free-Choice Project-based Learning for Action Competence in Sustainable Development (ACiSD) Curriculum, comprising six implementation dimensions, namely: (1) project duration and teaming arrangements, (2) topic selection, (3) student support, (4) teacher support, (5) learning environments, and (6) digital access and equity. For each implementation dimension, we recommend action steps to help educators implement this curriculum in their own educational settings, with the aid of an illustrative worked example.

description: Ο στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι πολλαπλός. Αρχικά, στοχεύει στο να αναδείξει την αληθινή μοναχική ζωή, καρπός της οποίας είναι η ορθή κλήση και κλίση του υποψηφίου μοναχού στο Άγιον Όρος αλλά και να παρουσιάσει το προσεύχεσθαι του αγιορείτη μοναχού, τη λατρεία του, τη λειτουργική ζωή του, το νυχθήμερό του. Προκειμένου να επιτευχθεί αυτός ο στόχος, στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο γίνεται εισαγωγή όπου αναφερόμαστε διεξοδικά στη κλήση και αναχώρηση του υποψηφίου μοναχού από τον κόσμο, στην είσοδό του στο Άγιον Όρος, στη δοκιμή του και στη κτήση της μοναχικής ιδιότητας μέσω της ιεράς ακολουθίας του Μικρού και του Μεγάλου αγγελικού σχήματος, η οποία βρίθει συμβολισμών, στους οποίους και γίνεται η σχετική αναφορά. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο γίνεται αρχικά μία ανάλυση γύρω από τα αγιορείτικα Τυπικά και ύστερα ακολουθεί μια εμβάθυνση στις ακολουθίες του νυχθημέρου, όπως αυτές τελούνται στον Άθωνα, καθώς και στους συμβολισμούς των ακολουθιών αυτών. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο προσεγγίζουμε το θέμα της κοίμησης του μοναχού, στη νεκρώσιμη ακολουθία και στα περί αυτής τελούμενα του Αγίου Όρους, αλλά και στα Ιερά Μνημόσυνα. Στο τελευταίο υποκεφάλαιο του τρίτου κεφαλαίου, προσεγγίζεται ο θάνατος από την οπτική του αγιορείτη μοναχού. Τι σκέψεις έχει ο αγιορείτης μοναχός για τον θάνατο, πως τον αντιμετωπίζει και πως τον ωφελεί;
description: The aim of this work is multiple. First, it aims to highlight the true monastic life, the fruit of which is the right vocation and vocation of the candidate monk on Mount Athos, but also to present the prayer of the saintly monk, his worship, his liturgical life, his day and night. In order to achieve this goal, in the first chapter an introduction is made where we refer in detail to the call and departure of the candidate monk from the world, to his entry to Mount Athos, in his test and in the acquisition of the monastic status through the sacred sequence of the Little and the Great angelic figure, which is full of symbolism, to which the relevant reference is made. In the second chapter, an analysis is first made of the Typikon on Mount Athos, and then there is an in-depth analysis of the day and night services, as they are performed in Athos, as well as the symbolism of these services. In the third chapter, we approach the subject of the monk's dormition, the funeral service and the ceremonies related to it on Mount Athos, as well as the Holy Memorials. In the last subsection of the third chapter, death is approached from the perspective of the holy monk. What thoughts does the Saint monk have about death, how does he deal with it and how does it benefit him?
Multi-Disciplinary Research Data Infrastructures: Results from a Roadmap Project
Creators: name: Klump, Jens
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: The flood of digital data, which arises from studies in the social sciences or results from satellite missions in earth or space sciences, is growing rapidly. The permanent storage and its provision for future generations of researchers represent a challenge to the entire science system, however, many questions still remain unresolved. Financial aspects, organizational and technology issues in creating multi-disciplinary research data infrastructures, as well as the legal and political framework need to be clarified. These challenges will be discussed in the context of this session, which will take the form of a discussion panel introduced by four presentations. The data life cycle will serve as the guideline for the presentaitons which take a closer look at its specific challenges. The overall objective is the development of a multi-disciplinary research data infrastructure. The first presentation describe the Private Domain, i.e. the challenges in handling the data deluge from the perspective of the scientist.

description: We provide a systematic and updated discussion of a research line carried out by our group over the last few years, in which gravity is modified at cosmological distances by the introduction of nonlocal terms, assumed to emerge at an effective level from the infrared behavior of the quantum theory. The requirement of producing a viable cosmology turns out to be very stringent and basically selects a unique model, in which the nonlocal term describes an effective mass for the conformal mode. We discuss how such a specific structure could emerge from a fundamental local theory of gravity, and we perform a detailed comparison of this model with the most recent cosmological datasets, confirming that it fits current data at the same level as $Λ$CDM. Most notably, the model has striking predictions in the sector of tensor perturbations, leading to a very large effect in the propagation of gravitational wave (GWs) over cosmological distances. At the redshifts relevant for the next generation of GW detectors such as Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer and LISA, this leads to deviations from GR that could be as large as $80\%$, and could be verified with the detection of just a single coalescing binary with electromagnetic counterpart. This would also have potentially important consequences for the search of the counterpart since, for a given luminosity distance to the source, as inferred through the GW signal, the actual source redshift could be significantly different from that predicted by $Λ$CDM. At the redshifts relevant for advanced LIGO/Virgo/Kagra the effect is smaller, but still potentially observable over a few years of runs at target sensitivity.

description: We consider the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation in the presence of periodic and quasiperiodic superlattices to study cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in such potentials. We examine spatially extended wavefunctions in the form of modulated amplitude waves (MAWs). With a coherent structure ansatz, we derive amplitude equations describing the evolution of spatially modulated states of the BEC. We then apply second-order multiple scale perturbation theory to study harmonic resonances with respect to a single lattice wavenumber as well as ultrasubharmonic resonances that result from interactions of both wavenumbers of the superlattice. In each case, we determine the resulting system's equilibria, which represent spatially periodic solutions, and subsequently examine the stability of the corresponding solutions by direct simulations of the GP equation, identifying them as typically stable solutions of the model. We then study subharmonic resonances using Hamiltonian perturbation theory, tracing robust, spatio-temporally periodic patterns.

description: Combining model-based and model-free learning systems has been shown to improve the sample efficiency of learning to perform complex robotic tasks. However, dual-system approaches fail to consider the reliability of the learned model when it is applied to make multiple-step predictions, resulting in a compounding of prediction errors and performance degradation. In this paper, we present a novel dual-system motor learning approach where a meta-controller arbitrates online between model-based and model-free decisions based on an estimate of the local reliability of the learned model. The reliability estimate is used in computing an intrinsic feedback signal, encouraging actions that lead to data that improves the model. Our approach also integrates arbitration with imagination where a learned latent-space model generates imagined experiences, based on its local reliability, to be used as additional training data. We evaluate our approach against baseline and state-of-the-art methods on learning vision-based robotic grasping in simulation and real world. The results show that our approach outperforms the compared methods and learns near-optimal grasping policies in dense- and sparse-reward environments.

description: We consider weighted random sampling from distributed data streams presented as a sequence of mini-batches of items. This is a natural model for distributed streaming computation, and our goal is to showcase its usefulness. We present and analyze a fully distributed, communication-efficient algorithm for weighted reservoir sampling in this model. An experimental evaluation on up to 256 nodes (5120 processors) shows good speedups, while theoretical analysis promises further scaling to much larger machines.
Correlated Hierarchy, Dirac Masses and Large Mixing Angles

description: We introduce a new parametrization of the MNS lepton mixing matrix which separates the hierarchical Grand Unified relations among quarks and leptons. We argue that one large angle stems from the charged leptons, the other from the seesaw structure of the neutral lepton mass matrix. We show how two large mixing angles can arise naturally provided there are special requirements on the Dirac ($ΔI_{\rm w}=1/2$) and Majorana ($ΔI_{\rm w}=0$) masses. One possibility is a correlated hierarchy between them, the other is that the $ΔI_{\rm w}=0$ Majorana mass has a specific texture; it is Dirac-like for two of the three families.
