description: Underwater robot manipulators mounted on work class ROVs are extensively used in a wide range of subsea intervention applications. Unlike the automated stationary robot arms used in factories, commercial underwater manipulators are tele-operated by human pilot in the loop. In this paper we describe investigations, development and adaptation of robot manipulator servo control approaches common for light assembly tasks in industry and the transfer of these techniques to marine robotics.
Transient and steady-state friction in non-isobaric conditions
Creators: name: Barbot, Sylvain
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The frictional properties of faults control the initiation and propagation of earthquakes and the associated hazards. Although the ambient temperature and instantaneous slip velocity controls on friction in isobaric conditions are increasingly well understood, the role of normal stress on steady-state and transient frictional behaviors remains elusive. The friction coefficient of rocks exhibits a strong dependence on normal stress at typical crustal depths. Furthermore, rapid changes in normal stress cause a direct effect on friction followed by an evolutionary response. Here, we derive a constitutive friction law that consistently explains the yield strength of rocks from atmospheric pressure to gigapascals while capturing the transient behavior following perturbations in normal stress. The model explains the frictional strength of a variety of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks and the slip-dependent response upon normal stress steps of Westerly granite bare contact and synthetic gouges made of quartz and a mixture of quartz and smectite. The nonlinear normal stress dependence of the frictional resistance may originate from the distribution of asperities that control the real area of contact. The direct and transient effects may be important for induced seismicity by hydraulic fracturing or for naturally occurring normal stress perturbations within fault zones in the brittle crust.
Transportation systems reliability analysis

Year: 2018

description: This dissertation investigates different aspects of the reliability of a transportation system subject to random events by means of applied queueing theory. We use queueing models and fundamental principles of stochastic analysis, to shine light on the behavior and properties of a traffic system that is subject to random deteriorations of the quality of service as indicated by vehicular travel time. For this, we discuss stationary and transient analytical solutions for the number of customers and service-time distributions of Markov-modulated service rates queues. We also study analytically the effect that different random components of the system have in the completion time of a single trip. We are able to give closed form solutions to accommodate a number of different combinations of random variables as inputs of the system, as well as to give analytical insights on the asymptotic behavior when abnormally slow customers show up. We validate and calibrate the analytical models using incident reports and weather conditions as sources of traffic deterioration. We generate measures of the performance of the system with explicit dependencies on traffic and incident parameters, avoiding the use of costly simulation. We make use of these measures for optimizing risk-averse route choice problems. We expect our models contribute to the design and operation of management tools for roadway traffic and incident mitigation that can lead to safer and more efficient movement of people, goods, and other resources.

description: A Grundy k-coloring of a graph G, is a vertex k-coloring of G such that for each two colors i and j with i < j, every vertex of G colored by j has a neighbor with color i. The Grundy chromatic number (G), is the largest integer k for which there exists a Grundy k-coloring for G. In this note we first give an interpretation of (G) in terms of the total graph of G, when G is the complement of a bipartite graph. Then we prove that determining the Grundy number of the complement of bipartite graphs is an NP-Complete problem

description: Acknowledgements: We are thankful for the Improving Primary Care After Stroke administration team members who included Lizzie Kreit, Victoria Theobald and Alex Newbrook, and to James Brimicombe for his database work. With thanks to the trainers from Leicester and the my life after stroke facilitators, who without them, the programmes would not have been delivered in the community venues across England. Thank you to the stroke survivors participating in the study. Thank you to Bundy Mackintosh, patients' adviser.
description: Objective: A self-management programme, My Life After Stroke (MLAS), was developed to support stroke survivors. This evaluation reports patients’ experience. Design: Multimethod, involving interviews and questionnaires. Setting: 23 general practices in the intervention arm of a cluster randomised controlled trial in East of England and East Midlands, UK. Participants: People on the stroke registers of participating general practices were invited to attend an MLAS programme. Interventions: MLAS comprises one-to-one and group-based sessions to promote independence, confidence and hope. Primary and secondary outcome measures: The primary outcome was uptake of the programme. Participants who declined MLAS were sent a questionnaire to ascertain why. Attendees of four programmes completed evaluation forms. Attendees and non-attendees of MLAS were interviewed. Ad-hoc email conversations with the lead author were reviewed. Thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. Results: 141/420 (34%) participants (mean age 71) attended an MLAS programme and 103 (73%) completed 1. 64/228 (28%) participants who declined MLAS gave reasons as: good recovery, ongoing health issues, logistical issues and inappropriate. Nearly all attendees who completed questionnaires felt that process criteria such as talking about their stroke and outcomes such as developing a strong understanding of stroke had been achieved. Conclusions: MLAS was a positive experience for participants but many stroke survivors did not feel it was appropriate for them. Participation in self-management programmes after stroke might be improved by offering them sooner after the stroke and providing a range of delivery options beyond group-based, face-to-face learning.

description: The Large Hadron Collider forward (LHCf) experiment has been designed to use the LHC to benchmark the hadronic interaction models used in cosmic-ray physics. The LHCf experiment measures neutral particles emitted in the very forward region of LHC collisions. In this paper, the performances of the LHCf detectors for hadronic showers was studied with MC simulations and beam tests. The detection efficiency for neutrons is from 60% to 70% above 500 GeV. The energy resolutions are about 40% and the position resolution is 0.1 to 1.3mm depend on the incident energy for neutrons. The energy scale determined by the MC simulations and the validity of the MC simulations were examined using 350 GeV proton beams at the CERN-SPS.

description: We present INTEGRAL spectral analysis in the orbital/superorbital phase space of LS I +61 303. A hard X-ray spectrum with no cutoff is observed at all orbital/superorbital phases. The hard X-ray index is found to be uncorrelated with the radio index (non-simultaneously) measured at the same orbital and superorbital phases. In particular, the absence of an X-ray spectrum softening during the periods of negative radio index does not favor a simple interpretation of the radio index variations in terms of changes of state in a microquasar. We uncover hints for the superorbital variability in the hard X-ray flux, in phase with the superorbital modulation in soft X-rays. An orbital phase drift of radio peak flux and index along the superorbital period is observed in the radio data. We explore its influence on a previously reported double peak structure of radio orbital lightcurve, posing it as a plausible explanation.

Extreme CII emission in type 2 quasars at z~2.5: a signature of kappa-distributed electron energies?

description: We investigate the flux ratio between the 1335 A and 2326 A lines of singly ionized carbon in the extended narrow line regions of type 2 quasars at z~2.5. We find the observed CII 1335 / CII] 2326 flux ratio, which is not sensitive to the C/H abundance ratio, to be often several times higher than predicted by the canonical AGN photoionization models that use solar metallicity and a Maxwell-Boltzmann electron energy distribution. We study several potential solutions for this discrepancy: low gas metallicity, shock ionization, continuum fluorescence, and kappa-distributed electron energies. Although we cannot definitively distinguish between several of the proposed solutions, we argue that a kappa distribution gives the more natural explanation. We also provide a grid of AGN photoionization models using kappa-distributed electron energies.

description: Presentation in the context of the HiRSE seminar series on 28 April 2022. Abstract: Continuous Integration, Testing, Deployment and Benchmarking (Cx) are increasingly important in Research Software Engineering. For HPC applications most typical and widely available services, e.g. github-actions or GitlabCI, are not well suited and specifically lag the possibility to test integration with e.g. MPI or run larger scale tests and benchmarks. To overcome this limitation and enable a sustainable research software development, we at KIT are offering a Cx service to the users of our HPC clusters for over a year. In this seminar, we will present the setup at KIT, talk about possibilities, challenges and limitations of the setup, and will highlight some of the usage and adaption experiences of users of the services.

description: Accumulation of potentially toxic heavy metals at elevated concentrations constitute one of the threats to the natural environment, ecosystems and the health of living organisms. In this study, the prevalence of trace metal (As, Cd, Pb, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn) exposure in backyard chickens via multiple exposure routes (soil, water, feed) was determined to better understand risks to the chicken and implications for egg production in relation to human consumption. Sixty-nine domestic chickens from 55 Sydney urban backyards were tested for their Pb concentrations using a LeadCare Plus™ Analyzer with their matched eggs analysed for Pb and other trace elements using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Corresponding soil, drinking water and feed were also sampled and subjected to a combination of ICP-MS and portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF) analysis. A significant association is observed between garden soil concentration and domestic chickens and their eggs and enables a broader determination of risk by using existing soil trace element data to domestic chicken. In addition, age of homes, distance to CBD and age of birds were also correlated with higher Pb in chicken blood and egg. As maximum limit has not been assigned to lead and other elements in chicken egg in the Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code, the relevant Health Based Guidance Values (HBGVs) were used as a benchmark dose to compare the dietary exposure assessment values from chicken eggs to assess the food safety risk through the consumption of domestic eggs. The study also showed that the Pb and other residual concentrations of metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn) in 9 different commercial free-range farm eggs had significantly lower mean concentrations. The health risk for consumers was assessed for two age categories of consumers (children:2-6 years, adult >18 years) by calculating the estimated daily intake (EDI), the target hazard quotient (THQ) and the cancer risk (CR) for each contaminant and showed a carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk for children with an exceeding elevated metal concentration (As, Cd, Pb and Zn) through the consumption of backyard chicken eggs. This assessment can be used to make recommendation for risk assessment and for soil screening and clean up values in order to ensure chicken safety and mitigate human exposures through consumption of home-grown chicken products.

Trafficking in persons for the removal of organs in India
Creators: name: Findley, Katherine
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation explores how influences on the individual, family, community, and governmental level impact susceptibility to trafficking in persons for the removal of organs (TPRO) in India. Two of the research questions examine specifically what impacts vulnerability and protection among a sample of 43 individuals living in a community in India. The third research question explores the role of the living organ donor assessment process in the prevention of trafficking. In this dissertation, the theoretical understanding of how choices are made, or not made, particularly by vulnerable individuals, is explored. Qualitative interviews were conducted with persons trafficked for organ removal and persons not trafficked for organ removal who are living within the same socio-economic environment, but who were not all trafficked for organ removal. Study data were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory methods. Findings from this study show that economic, cultural, and social influences affect both protection from and susceptibility to trafficking. It was found that resources, government response to poverty, motivations, and the utilization of the body as an economic tool all influence trafficking status. Additionally, it was found that cultural and social influences included gender, family dynamics, awareness and community information sharing, and organ sale broker presence. Furthermore, trafficked persons secure government approval for organ removal through broker facilitation and the donor assessment often fails to protect against of persons for organs.  Findings reveal that family pacts against organ sales, knowledge of negative consequences of transplant, and protect individuals from being trafficked for an organ. For those who were trafficked, it was found that the combination of poverty, coupled with the presence of organ brokers who work within an inadequate donor assessment system t created an environment where poverty originated organ removal (POOR) occurs. Both trafficked and non-trafficked individuals utilized their bodies in the way that they could to survive or meet financial obligations, as the environment requires it. This structurally coercive environment leads to trafficking of individuals for organ removal through the abuse of the individual’s vulnerability. This research provides macro to micro level recommendations for the elimination of TPRO through preventative programs and policies, as well as highlights the need for assistance for trafficked persons.

Selection of phi(1020) mesons is based on the identification of charged kaons by their energy loss in the pixel detector. The differential cross section is measured as a function of the transverse momentum, pTphi, and rapidity, |yphi|, of the phi(1020) meson in the fiducial region 500 < pTphi< 1200 MeV, |yphi| < 0.8, kaon pTK> 230 MeV and kaon momentum pK< 800 MeV.The integrated phi(1020)-meson production cross section in this fiducial range is measured to be s(phi K+K-) = 570 pm 8 (stat) pm 66 (syst) pm 20 (lumi) mub.

description: We suggest an explanation of the recently observed discrepancy between the experimental and theoretical results on ionization of atoms, encapsulated into the fullerenes by photons with the energies of about 80-190eV. On the ground of previous theoretical considerations we conclude that the photoionization of the caged atom without excitation of the fullerene shell has low probability.

description: We report the growth of large high quality crystals of the frustrated magnet, Pr2Zr2O7 by the floating zone technique. Several crystals have been produced starting with varying levels of excess of Pr6O11 to compensate for the loss of Pr2O3 during the growth process. X-ray diffraction analysis of the crystals shows that the Pr composition in our crystals, as determined by the Pr site occupancy in the pyrochlore structure, is always slightly less than 1. Fits to the magnetic sus-ceptibility data below 10 K using a Curie-Weiss law reveal an antiferromagnetic coupling between the Pr moments, with an estimated Weiss temperature of ΘW = -2.5 K and an effective moment for the Pr3+ of μeff = 2.5 μB. Magnetization versus field measurements show a spin-ice like anisotropy.

description: We study one-dimensional fluctuating interfaces of length $L$ where the interface stochastically resets to a fixed initial profile at a constant rate $r$. For finite $r$ in the limit $L \to \infty$, the system settles into a nonequilibrium stationary state with non-Gaussian interface fluctuations, which we characterize analytically for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang and Edwards-Wilkinson universality class. Our results are corroborated by numerical simulations. We also discuss the generality of our results for a fluctuating interface in a generic universality class.

description: The presence of multiplicative noise can alter measurements of forces acting on nanoscopic objects. Taking into account of multiplicative noise, we derive a series of non-equilibrium thermodynamical equalities as generalization of the Jarzynski equality, the detailed fluctuation theorem and the Hatano-Sasa's relation. Our result demonstrates that the Jarzynski equality and the detailed fluctuation theorem remains valid only for systems with the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution at the equilibrium state, but the Hatano-Sasa's relation is robust with respect to the ambiguity on multiplicative noise.

description: We consider the generalised space-time introduced by the author in 2003 in the context of the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of E11 and its first fundamental representation. For all the fields we propose gauge transformations which are compatible with the underlying E11 structure. A crucial role is played by the generalised vielbein that the generalised space-time possess. We work out the explicit form of the gauge transformations, at low levels, in four, five and eleven dimensions.

description: We provide a new lower bound on the minimum distance of a family of quantum LDPC codes based on Cayley graphs proposed by MacKay, Mitchison and Shokrollahi. Our bound is exponential, improving on the quadratic bound of Couvreur, Delfosse and Zémor. This result is obtained by examining a family of subsets of the hypercube which locally satisfy some parity conditions.

description: The detection of the New Moon at sunset is of importance to communities based on the lunar calendar. This is traditionally undertaken with visual observations. We propose a radio method which allows a higher visibility of the Moon relative to the Sun and consequently gives us the ability to detect the Moon much closer to the Sun than is the case of visual observation. We first compare the relative brightness of the Moon and Sun over a range of possible frequencies and find the range 5--100\,GHz to be suitable. The next consideration is the atmospheric absorption/emission due to water vapour and oxygen as a function of frequency. This is particularly important since the relevant observations are near the horizon. We show that a frequency of $\sim 10$ GHz is optimal for this programme. We have designed and constructed a telescope with a FWHM resolution of 0$^\circ{}\!\!$.6 and low sidelobes to demonstrate the potential of this approach. At the time of the 21 May 2012 New Moon the Sun/Moon brightness temperature ratio was $72.7 \pm 2.2$ in agreement with predictions from the literature when combined with the observed sunspot numbers for the day. The Moon would have been readily detectable at $\sim 2^{\circ}$ from the Sun. Our observations at 16\,hr\,36\,min UT indicated that the Moon would have been at closest approach to the Sun 16\,hr\,25\,min earlier; this was the annular solar eclipse of 00\,hr\,00\,min\,UT on 21 May 2012.

description: The theory of Barnes beta probability distributions is advanced and related to the Riemann xi function. The scaling invariance, multiplication formula, and Shintani factorization of Barnes multiple gamma functions are reviewed using the approach of Ruijsenaars and shown to imply novel properties of Barnes beta distributions. The applications are given to the meromorphic extension of the Selberg integral as a function of its dimension and the scaling invariance of the underlying probability distribution. This probability distribution in the critical case is described and conjectured to be the distribution of the derivative martingale. The Jacobi triple product is interpreted probabilistically resulting in an approximation of the Riemann xi function by the Mellin transform of the logarithm of a limit of Barnes beta distributions.

Sparse Representation of Photometric Redshift PDFs: Preparing for Petascale Astronomy

description: One of the consequences of entering the era of precision cosmology is the widespread adoption of photometric redshift probability density functions (PDFs). Both current and future photometric surveys are expected to obtain images of billions of distinct galaxies. As a result, storing and analyzing all of these PDFs will be non-trivial and even more severe if a survey plans to compute and store multiple different PDFs. In this paper we propose the use of a sparse basis representation to fully represent individual photo-$z$ PDFs. By using an Orthogonal Matching Pursuit algorithm and a combination of Gaussian and Voigt basis functions, we demonstrate how our approach is superior to a multi-Gaussian fitting, as we require approximately half of the parameters for the same fitting accuracy with the additional advantage that an entire PDF can be stored by using a 4-byte integer per basis function, and we can achieve better accuracy by increasing the number of bases. By using data from the CFHTLenS, we demonstrate that only ten to twenty points per galaxy are sufficient to reconstruct both the individual PDFs and the ensemble redshift distribution, $N(z)$, to an accuracy of 99.9% when compared to the one built using the original PDFs computed with a resolution of $δz = 0.01$, reducing the required storage of two hundred original values by a factor of ten to twenty. Finally, we demonstrate how this basis representation can be directly extended to a cosmological analysis, thereby increasing computational performance without losing resolution nor accuracy.

description: In this paper, we address the problem of reconstruction of support of a measure from its moments. More precisely, given a finite subset of the moments of a measure, we develop a semidefinite program for approximating the support of measure using level sets of polynomials. To solve this problem, a sequence of convex relaxations is provided, whose optimal solution is shown to converge to the support of measure of interest. Moreover, the provided approach is modified to improve the results for uniform measures. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed approach.

It is shown that the derived solution for rotating regular black hole is regular and the critical value of the electric charge $Q$ for which two horizons merge into one sufficiently decreases in the presence of nonvanishing angular momentum $a$ of the black hole.

description: We present feasibility study of an accelerator-based ultrafast transmission electron microscope (u-TEM) capable of producing a full field image in a single-shot with simultaneous picosecond temporal resolution and nanometer spatial resolution. We study key physics related to performance of u-TEMs, and discuss major challenges as well as possible solutions for practical realization of u-TEMs. The feasibility of u-TEMs is confirmed through simulations using realistic electron beam parameters. We anticipate that u-TEMs with a product of temporal and spatial resolution beyond $10^{-19}~$m*s will open up new opportunities in probing matter at ultrafast temporal and ultrasmall spatial scales.
