description: In this article, we present and discuss a user-study prototype, developed for Bakkehuset historic house museum in Copenhagen. We examine how the prototype - a digital sound installation - can expand visitors' experiences of the house and offer encounters with immaterial cultural heritage. Historic house museums often hold back on utilizing digital communication tools inside the houses, since a central purpose of this type of museum is to preserve an original environment. Digital communication tools however hold great potential for facilitating rich encounters with cultural heritage and in particular with the immaterial aspects of museum collections and their histories. In this article we present our design steps and choices, aiming at subtly and seamlessly adding a digital dimension to a historic house. Based on qualitative interviews, we evaluate how the sound installation at Bakkehuset is sensed, interpreted, and used by visitors as part of their museum experience. In turn, we shed light on the historic house museum as a distinct design context for designing hybrid visitor experiences and point to the potentials of digital communication tools in this context.

On the 2PN periastron precession of the Double Pulsar PSR J0737-3039A/B

description: One of the post-Keplerian (PK) parameters determined in timing analyses of several binary pulsars is the fractional periastron advance per orbit $k^\mathrm{PK}$. Along with other PK parameters, it is used in testing general relativity once it is translated into the periastron precession $\dotω^\mathrm{PK}$. It was recently remarked that the periastron $ω$ of PSR J0737--3039A/B may be used to measure/constrain the moment of inertia of A through the extraction of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring precession $\dotω^\mathrm{LT,\,A}\simeq -0.00060^\circ\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}$ from the experimentally determined periastron rate $\dotω_\mathrm{obs}$ provided that the other post--Newtonian (PN) contributions to $\dotω_\mathrm{exp}$ can be accurately modeled. Among them, the 2PN one seems to be of the same order of magnitude of $\dotω^\mathrm{LT,\,A}$. An analytical expression of the total 2PN periastron precession $\dotω^\mathrm{2PN}$ in terms of the osculating Keplerian orbital elements, valid not only for binary pulsars, is provided elucidating the subtleties implied in correctly calculating it from $k^\mathrm{1PN}+k^\mathrm{2PN}$ and correcting some past errors by the present author. The formula for $\dotω^\mathrm{2PN}$ is demonstrated to be equivalent to that obtainable from $k^\mathrm{1PN}+k^\mathrm{2PN}$ by Damour and Schäfer expressed in the Damour-Deruelle (DD) parameterization. $\dotω^\mathrm{2PN}$ actually depends on the initial orbital phase, hidden in the DD picture, so that $-0.00080^\circ\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1} \leq\dotω^\mathrm{2PN}\leq -0.00045^\circ\,\mathrm{\,yr}^{-1}$. A recently released prediction of $\dotω^\mathrm{2PN}$ for \psrab\, is discussed.

description: Active galactic nuclei (AGN) forming in the early universe are thought to be the primary source of hard ionizing photons contributing to the reionization of intergalactic helium. However, the number density and spectral properties of high-redshift AGN remain largely unconstrained. In this work, we make use of physically-informed models calibrated with a wide variety of available observations to provide estimates for the role of AGN throughout the Epoch of Reionization. We present AGN luminosity functions in various bands between z = 2 to 7 predicted by the well-established Santa Cruz semi-analytic model, which includes modelling of black hole accretion and AGN feedback. We then combine the predicted AGN populations with a physical spectral model for self-consistent estimates of ionizing photon production rates, which depend on the mass and accretion rate of the accreting supermassive black hole. We then couple the predicted comoving ionizing emissivity with an analytic model to compute the subsequent reionization history of intergalactic helium and hydrogen. This work demonstrates the potential of coupling physically motivated analytic or semi-analytic techniques to capture multi-scale physical processes across a vast range of scales (here, from AGN accretion disks to cosmological scales). Our physical model predicts an intrinsic ionizing photon budget well above many of the estimates in the literature, meaning that helium reionization can comfortably be accomplished even with a relatively low escape fraction. We also make predictions for the AGN populations that are expected to be detected in future \emph{James Webb Space Telescope} surveys.

description: We describe measurements of the decay of pure superfluid turbulence in superfluid 3He-B, in the low temperature regime where the normal fluid density is negligible. We follow the decay of the turbulence generated by a vibrating grid as detected by vibrating wire resonators. Despite the absence of any classical normal fluid dissipation processes, the decay is consistent with turbulence having the classical Kolmogorov energy spectrum and is remarkably similar to that measured in superfluid 4He at relatively high temperatures. Further, our results strongly suggest that the decay is governed by the superfluid circulation quantum rather than kinematic viscosity.

description: ChatGPT, GPT-3.5, and other large language models (LLMs) have drawn significant attention since their release, and the abilities of these models have been investigated for a wide variety of tasks. In this research we investigate to what extent GPT-3.5 can generate human-like comments on Dutch news articles. We define human likeness as `not distinguishable from human comments', approximated by the difficulty of automatic classification between human and GPT comments. We analyze human likeness across multiple prompting techniques. In particular, we utilize zero-shot, few-shot and context prompts, for two generated personas. We found that our fine-tuned BERT models can easily distinguish human-written comments from GPT-3.5 generated comments, with none of the used prompting methods performing noticeably better. We further analyzed that human comments consistently showed higher lexical diversity than GPT-generated comments. This indicates that although generative LLMs can generate fluent text, their capability to create human-like opinionated comments is still limited.

title: An Empirical Study on Reactive Programming
Creators: name: Dinser, Moritz
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2021

description: In recent years, interactive applications have increased in popularity. However, due to the lack of fitting programming abstractions in this domain, developing these applications is challenging. While multiple reactive programming languages have been proposed addressing these challenges, empirical studies evaluating the usability of these languages are still uncommon. With this study we present an empirical evaluation of the usability and intuitivity of one of these proposed languages: REScala, a Scala library for functional reactive programming. The goal of our study is to validate claimed advantages of REScala, ascertain what improvements to the language could be beneficial and how these improvements could be achieved. During the study we observed 9 participants working with the REScala library following the think aloud approach. Our results show that after overcoming initial challenges, participants showed a quick learning effect and, in the end, understood the basic concepts of REScala and wrote valid REScala code. We therefore conclude that REScala doesn't present more difficulties compared to learning any other new programming concept while providing multiple benefits for reactive programming, such as increased composability, enforced consistency and fault tolerance. Based on our results, we also provide a set of improvements, we observed helpful, in order to overcome initial challenges when learning REScala.

description: Machine learning techniques are used to explore the intrinsic origins of the hydrodynamic thermal transport and to find new materials interesting for science and engineering. The hydrodynamic thermal transport is governed intrinsically by the hydrodynamic scale and the thermal conductivity. The correlations between these intrinsic properties and harmonic and anharmonic properties, and a large number of compositional (290) and structural (1224) descriptors of 131 crystal compound materials are obtained, revealing some of the key descriptors that determines the magnitude of the intrinsic hydrodynamic effects, most of them related with the phonon relaxation times. Then, a trained black-box model is applied to screen more than 5000 materials. The results identify materials with potential technological applications. Understanding the properties correlated to hydrodynamic thermal transport can help to find new thermoelectric materials and on the design of new materials to ease the heat dissipation in electronic devices.

description: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been shown to prevent cervical cancer. Numerous studies have examined factors associated with HPV vaccine series initiation, but little is known about factors associated with age of initiation of HPV vaccine. Using cross-sectional data from the 2011 National Immunization Survey-Teen, this study examined the relationship between Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' recommended age at initiation of the HPV vaccine series and socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, and health insurance among 13-17 year-old females who received at least one HPV vaccine shot (n=5,965). On-time initiation of HPV vaccine series was significantly associated with having public health insurance (AOR: 1.825, 95% CI: 1.266, 2.631). Females with college-graduated mothers (AOR: 0.669, 95% CI: 0.487, 0.918) or household income greater than $75,000 (AOR: 0.746, 95% CI: 0.568, 0.98) were less likely to initiate on-time. Research is needed to further investigate the reasons for late initiation among these subgroups.

description: Over a sufficiently long period of time, or from an appropriate distance, the motion of many swimmers can appear smooth, with their trajectories appearing almost ballistic in nature and slowly varying in character. These long-time behaviours, however, often mask more complex dynamics, such as the side-to-side snakelike motion exhibited by spermatozoa as they swim, propelled by the frequent and periodic beating of their flagellum. Many models of motion neglect these effects in favour of smoother long-term behaviours, which are often of greater practical interest than the small-scale oscillatory motion. Whilst it may be tempting to ignore any yawing motion, simply assuming that any effects of rapid oscillations cancel out over a period, a precise quantification of the impacts of high-frequency yawing is lacking. In this study, we systematically evaluate the long-term effects of general high-frequency oscillations on translational and angular motion, cast in the context of microswimmers but applicable more generally. Via a multiple-scales asymptotic analysis, we show that rapid oscillations can cause a long-term bias in the average direction of progression. We identify sufficient conditions for an unbiased long-term effect of yawing, and we quantify how yawing modifies the speed of propulsion and the effective hydrodynamic shape when in shear flow. Furthermore, we investigate and justify the long-time validity of the derived leading-order solutions and, by direct computational simulation, we evidence the relevance of the presented results to a canonical microswimmer.

description: (Shortened) The Swift and HETE-2 discovery of an afterglow associated possibly with short GRBs opened the new problematic of their nature and classification. This has been further enhanced by the GRB060614 observation and by a re-analysis of the BATSE catalog leading to the identification of a new GRB class with "an occasional softer extended emission lasting tenths of seconds after an initial spikelike emission". We plan: a) to fit this new class of "hybrid" sources within our "canonical GRB" scenario, where all GRBs are generated by a "common engine" (i.e. the gravitational collapse to a black hole); b) to propose GRB970228 as the prototype of the such a class. We analyze BeppoSAX data on GRB970228 in the 40-700 keV and 2-26 keV energy bands within the "fireshell" model. We find that GRB970228 is a "canonical GRB", like e.g. GRB050315, with the main peculiarity of a particularly low CircumBurst Medium (CBM) average density n_{cbm}~10^{-3} #/cm^3. We also simulate the light curve corresponding to a rescaled CBM density profile with n_{cbm}=1 #/cm^3. From such a comparison it follows that the total time-integrated luminosity is a faithful indicator of the GRB nature, contrary to the peak luminosity which is merely a function of the CBM density. We call attention on discriminating the short GRBs between the "genuine" and the "fake" ones. The "genuine" ones are intrinsically short, with baryon loading B \la 10^{-5}, as stated in our original classification. The "fake" ones, characterized by an initial spikelike emission followed by an extended emission lasting tenths of seconds, have a baryon loading 10^{-4} \la B \leq 10^{-2}. They are observed as such only due to an underdense CBM consistent with a galactic halo environment which deflates the afterglow intensity.

description: We present the full experimental reconstruction of Gaussian entangled states generated by a type--II optical parametric oscillator (OPO) below threshold. Our scheme provides the entire covariance matrix using a single homodyne detector and allows for the complete characterization of bipartite Gaussian states, including the evaluation of purity, entanglement and nonclassical photon correlations, without a priori assumptions on the state under investigation. Our results show that single homodyne schemes are convenient and robust setups for the full characterization of OPO signals and represent a tool for quantum technology based on continuous variable entanglement.

description: Exoplanetary observations reveal that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters is correlated with star clustering. In star clusters, interactions between planetary systems and close fly-by stars can significantly change the architecture of primordially coplanar, circular planetary systems. Flybys in dense clusters have a significant impact on hot Jupiter formation via activation of high eccentricity excitation mechanisms such as the Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) effect and planet-planet scattering. Previous studies have shown that if there are two giant planets in the planetary system, close flybys can efficiently activate the ZLK mechanism, thus triggering high eccentricity tidal migration and ultimately form hot Jupiters in star clusters. Here we extend our previous study with a multi-planet (triple) system. We perform high precision, high-accuracy few-body simulations of stellar flybys and subsequent planetary migration within the perturbed planetary systems using the code {\tt SpaceHub}. Our simulations demonstrate that a single close flyby on a multi-planet system in a cluster can activate secular chaos and ultimately lead to hot Jupiter formation via high eccentricity migration. We find that the hot Jupiter formation rate per system increases with both the size of the planetary system as well as with the mass of the outer planet, and we quantify the relative formation fractions for a range of parameters. Hot Jupiters formed via secular chaos are expected to be accompanied by massive companions with very long periods. Our study further shows that this flyby-induced secular chaos is preferred in low-density clusters where multi-planet systems are more likely to survive, and that it contributes a significant fraction of the hot Jupiter formation in star clusters compared to the flyby-induced ZLK mechanism.

description: We present a modular framework designed to enable a robot hand-arm system to learn how to catch flying objects, a task that requires fast, reactive, and accurately-timed robot motions. Our framework consists of five core modules: (i) an object state estimator that learns object trajectory prediction, (ii) a catching pose quality network that learns to score and rank object poses for catching, (iii) a reaching control policy trained to move the robot hand to pre-catch poses, (iv) a grasping control policy trained to perform soft catching motions for safe and robust grasping, and (v) a gating network trained to synthesize the actions given by the reaching and grasping policy. The former two modules are trained via supervised learning and the latter three use deep reinforcement learning in a simulated environment. We conduct extensive evaluations of our framework in simulation for each module and the integrated system, to demonstrate high success rates of in-flight catching and robustness to perturbations and sensory noise. Whilst only simple cylindrical and spherical objects are used for training, the integrated system shows successful generalization to a variety of household objects that are not used in training.

description: Elastic neutron-scattering, inelastic x-ray scattering, specific-heat, and pressure-dependent electrical transport measurements have been made on single crystals of AuZn and Au_{0.52}Zn_{0.48} above and below their martensitic transition temperatures (T_M=64K and 45K, respectively). In each composition, elastic neutron scattering detects new commensurate Bragg peaks (modulation) appearing at Q = (1.33,0.67,0) at temperatures corresponding to each sample's T_M. Although the new Bragg peaks appear in a discontinuous manner in the Au_{0.52}Zn_{0.48} sample, they appear in a continuous manner in AuZn. Surprising us, the temperature dependence of the AuZn Bragg peak intensity and the specific-heat jump near the transition temperature are in favorable accord with a mean-field approximation. A Landau-theory-based fit to the pressure dependence of the transition temperature suggests the presence of a critical endpoint in the AuZn phase diagram located at T_M*=2.7K and p*=3.1GPa, with a quantum saturation temperature θ_s=48.3 +/- 3.7K.

Stratégies économiques de survie adoptées par les serveuses de buvette dans la ville de Cotonou, Bénin

description: L’objectif de cette étude est de décrire les caractéristiques des serveuses de buvette au Bénin et les moyens qu’elles utilisent pour survivre. L’étude a été menée dans la ville de Cotonou. L’analyse des données collectées sur un échantillon de 138 serveuses, du 13 au 29 juillet 2023 et du 25 octobre au 19 novembre 2023, révèle que les serveuses de buvette sont âgées en moyenne de 24,9 ans et sont en majorité lettrées (84,1 %). L’activité est dominée par des femmes célibataires avec enfants (52,2 %). Les serveuses adoptent essentiellement quatre stratégies économiques : le bon accueil des clients, le concubinage clandestin avec des clients, le changement de buvettes et l’utilisation de l’hébergement offert par le patron. Le revenu annuel des serveuses est ainsi composé du salaire et d’un revenu parallèle aléatoire de 646.214,493 FCFA±47.556,5862. L’activité de serveuse de buvette offre l’occasion de satisfaire les besoins courants, mais elle ne permet pas d’accumuler suffisamment de ressources économiques. Son principal atout en tant qu’activité de l’informel est qu’elle n’oppose pas de barrières de qualification ou d’investissement à l’entrée dans le métier, mais les serveuses de buvette ne sont pas résilientes à la pauvreté et sont exposées notamment à la précarité de l’emploi, à l’abus sexuel et à l’exposition aux risques de maladies sexuellement transmissibles. Des mesures de protection sociale et de défense de la profession permettraient d’améliorer l’image de l’activité en permettant à celles qui l’exercent d’en vivre plus décemment.

description: The effect of increasing the calcium content of a hay-grain diet fed to postparturient dairy cattle was studied. Mineral apparent digestibilities, serum concentrations and apparent mineral retentions were monitored while the animals were under the stress of peak lactation. Nine Holstein and seven Ayrshire cows were randomly assigned to the control (0.7% Ca) or the Ca-treatment (1.5% Ca) based on calving order. The diets otherwise contained adequate nutrients. Each animal was fed to appetite for 80 days with no difference (p > . 05) occurring between treatments in intake when expessed as a percentage of body weight. Daily milk production (4% FCM) was higher (p < .05) as was the average body weight (p<.01) for the control animals reflecting the disproportionate number of young animals on the calcium treatment. After a minimum of 60 days on trial, 5 cows from each treatment were exposed to a 5 day digestibility collection period. No change in organic matter or nitrogen apparent digestibility occurred (p>.05) but there were higher (p<.05) levels of calcium and iron, increased (p<.01) levels of copper, and lower (p<.05) zinc and molybdenum apparent digestibilities for animals on the Ca-treatment. Fecal pH was higher (p<.05) in the calcium treated cows indicating a buffering effect occurred as a result of the addition of the calcium carbonate. No change (p>.05) was evident in the secretion of minerals into the milk but urinary phosphorus excretion was significantly higher (p<.05) in the control group. Milk progesterone was analyzed to correspond blood samples (average of 14 per animal) to specific regions of the estrus cycle. Serum phosphorus, iron, copper and zinc varied with reproductive cycling as phosphorus dropped (p<.01) at the onset of regular estrus while the other minerals fluctuated with the cycle (copper and zinc (p< .05), iron (p<.01)). In the serum of Ca-treated animals, calcium and zinc concentrations were higher (p<.01), copper increased (p<.05), and phosphorus was lower (p<.01) than the levels for the control animals. Breed effects were apparent as both phosphorus and copper were higher (p< .01) in the serum of Ayrshires than of Holsteins. Plasma glucose concentrations proved not to be different (p>.05) between treatments. Calcium supplementation of the diet allowed the animals to go from a negative to a positive calcium balance (p<.01). It also increased (p<.05) the amount of phosphorus apparent retention. In all, 6 essential minerals had altered apparent digestibilities and/or serum concentrations with possible long term effects on animal metabolism

Well established planning and operational processes in the electricity industry are often siloed and are being challenged in the face of significant technology migration and ambitious decarbonization and resilience policies to mitigate climate change challenges. Integrated resource planning (IRP), T&D planning, grid modernization, and risk mitigation require coordination and cross optimization to achieve the prevailing policies. Increasingly, investments are interchangeable and/or interdependent across the electricity value chain. A case in point is system resilience being addressed by investments in T&D assets and by customer-sited microgrids. Investment planning that optimizes across policy objectives will require closer coordination across planning and operational processes.

Learning Objectives:
Policy and societal initiatives that are driving the need for coordination between planning activities.
 Expected changes that are needed for utility planning and operational functions.
 An overview of industry gaps based a current snapshot and future expected needs.
 Examples of where a coordinated approach is being used.
  A roadmap to bridge gaps toward a future vision.

description: Half of the satellite galaxies of Andromeda form a narrow plane termed the Great Plane of Andromeda (GPoA), and their line-of-sight velocities display correlation reminiscent of a rotating structure. Recently reported first proper motion measurements for the on-plane satellites NGC 147 and NGC 185 indicate that they indeed co-orbit along the GPoA. This provides a novel opportunity to compare the M31 satellite system to $Λ$CDM expectations. We perform the first detailed comparison of the orbital alignment of two satellite galaxies beyond the Milky Way with several hydrodynamical and dark-matter-only cosmological simulations (Illustris TNG-50, TNG-100, ELVIS, PhatELVIS), in the context of the Planes of Satellite Galaxies Problem. In line with previous works, we find that the spatial flattening and line-of-sight velocity correlation alone is already in substantial tension with $Λ$CDM, with none of the simulated analogs simultaneously reproducing both parameters. Almost none (3 to 4\%) of the simulated systems contain two satellites with orbital poles as well aligned with their satellite plane as indicated by the most-likely proper motions of NGC 147 and NGC 185. However, within current measurement uncertainties it is common (~70%) that the two best-aligned satellites of simulated systems are consistent with the orbital alignment. Yet, the chance that any two simulated on-plane satellites have as well aligned orbital poles as observed is low (~4%). We conclude that confirmation of the tight orbital alignment for these two objects via improved measurements, or the discovery of similar alignments for additional GPoA members, hold the potential to further raise the tension with $Λ$CDM expectations.

description: This thesis deals with the complexity of organisations within multinational enterprises (MNEs) of the biopharmaceutical industry. The transnational organisation is the driver for worldwide innovation and with the challenges of drug development offers a research agenda. The thesis explores the complexity of science, a firm's ability to innovate and the financial challenges as constructs for understanding the complexity of the organisation. The transformation of transnational organisations is based on the evolutionary changes in MNEs and the adaptation to environmental changes.This phenomenon of interest is investigated with a qualitative study based on company cases studies combined with interviews with senior directors in biopharmaceutical MNEs. A subsequent configurational analysis using fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) reveals a joint set relationship of the constructs of the complexity of science, a firm's ability to innovate and the financial constraints influences the complexity of the organisation. The main finding of this study is the enhancement of the understanding of organisational complexity via reconfiguring the theory presented by Bartlett and Ghoshal (1989) to consider the ability to innovate, the complexity of science, and financial challenges. The crucial contribution of this thesis is the emergence of the neomultidomestic transnational, neo-international transnational, in addition to validating the presence of the neo-global transnational archetype (Mees-Buss et al., 2019). Enhancing and updating the area of research concerning MNE archetypes to reflect current form is important because existing research significantly traces back decades to the work of Bartlett and Ghoshal (1989). Consequently, this study provides a pivotal contribution to research into MNEs because it demonstrates that the firms' have gone beyond the transnational.

description: Обязательное страхование вкладов может рассматриваться как приобретение банком опциона пут. В статье рассматриваются подходы к определению оптимального размера страховых взносов с применением моделей ценообразования опционов. Авторами приведено описание классической модели Мертона, основанной на модели ценообразования опционов Блэка-Шоулза, а также ее последующих модификаций, позволяющих учесть стратегическое поведение банка и страховщика. В работе показано, что ограниченность опционных моделей может объясняться недостатком информации о стоимость активов банка, качестве кредитной политики и мониторинга кредитного портфеля, макроэкономической ситуации. Использование рыночного курса акций для определения волатильности стоимости банковских активов также не дает возможности для широкого распространения опционных моделей в практике внедрения дифференцированных страховых взносов.

description: The hydrothermal carbonation of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) at high pressure of CO2 (initial PCO2 1/4 55 bar) and moderate to high temperature (30 and 90 1C) was used to synthesize fine particles of calcite. This method allows a high carbonation efficiency (about 95% of Ca(OH)2-CaCO3 conversion), a significant production rate (48 kg/m3 h) and high purity of product (about 96%). However, the various initial physicochemical conditions have a strong influence on the crystal size and surface area of the synthesized calcite crystals. The present study is focused on the estimation of the textural properties of synthesized calcite (morphology, specific surface area, average particle size, particle size distribution and particle size evolution with reaction time), using Rietveld refinements of X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurements, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations. This study demonstrate that the pressure, the temperature and the dissolved quantity of CO2 have a significant effect on the average particle size, specific surface area, initial rate of precipitation, and on the morphology of calcium carbonate crystals. In contrast, these PTx conditions used herein have an insignificant effect on the carbonation efficiency of Ca(OH)2. Finally, the results presented here demonstrate that nano-calcite crystals with high specific surface area (SBET 1/4 6-10m2/g) can be produced, with a high potential for industrial applications such as adsorbents and/or filler in papermaking industry.

description: Conventional audio-visual approaches for active speaker detection (ASD) typically rely on visually pre-extracted face tracks and the corresponding single-channel audio to find the speaker in a video. Therefore, they tend to fail every time the face of the speaker is not visible. We demonstrate that a simple audio convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) trained with spatial input features extracted from multichannel audio can perform simultaneous horizontal active speaker detection and localization (ASDL), independently of the visual modality. To address the time and cost of generating ground truth labels to train such a system, we propose a new self-supervised training pipeline that embraces a ``student-teacher'' learning approach. A conventional pre-trained active speaker detector is adopted as a ``teacher'' network to provide the position of the speakers as pseudo-labels. The multichannel audio ``student'' network is trained to generate the same results. At inference, the student network can generalize and locate also the occluded speakers that the teacher network is not able to detect visually, yielding considerable improvements in recall rate. Experiments on the TragicTalkers dataset show that an audio network trained with the proposed self-supervised learning approach can exceed the performance of the typical audio-visual methods and produce results competitive with the costly conventional supervised training. We demonstrate that improvements can be achieved when minimal manual supervision is introduced in the learning pipeline. Further gains may be sought with larger training sets and integrating vision with the multichannel audio system.

Abstract: IC chips are key enablers of smartly networked society and need to be more compliant to security and safety. Semiconductor products for autonomous vehicles abide stringent regulations and requirements. In parallel to circuits and systems developments that designers visibly engage toward the performance and functionality of such products, the countermeasure tricks are proactively exploited against spontaneous disturbances within IC chips and even intentional attacks by an adversary.

This talk will start from Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) techniques of IC chips on the safety side, toward EMC aware design, analysis and implementation. Then, the challenges will be discussed about the design of IC chips for the higher level of hardware security (HWS). Crypto-based secure IC chips are investigated to avoid the risks of side-channel leakages and side-channel attacks, with the Si demonstrators that utilize analog techniques to protect digital functionality. The EMC and HWS disciplines are bridged from the electromagnetic (EM) standpoint to establish the design principles of IC chips toward security and safety.
