description: Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) perform various applications such as seafloor mapping and underwater structure health monitoring. Commonly, an inertial navigation system aided by a Doppler velocity log (DVL) is used to provide the vehicle's navigation solution. In such fusion, the DVL provides the velocity vector of the AUV, which determines the navigation solution's accuracy and helps estimate the navigation states. This paper proposes BeamsNet, an end-to-end deep learning framework to regress the estimated DVL velocity vector that improves the accuracy of the velocity vector estimate, and could replace the model-based approach. Two versions of BeamsNet, differing in their input to the network, are suggested. The first uses the current DVL beam measurements and inertial sensors data, while the other utilizes only DVL data, taking the current and past DVL measurements for the regression process. Both simulation and sea experiments were made to validate the proposed learning approach relative to the model-based approach. Sea experiments were made with the Snapir AUV in the Mediterranean Sea, collecting approximately four hours of DVL and inertial sensor data. Our results show that the proposed approach achieved an improvement of more than 60% in estimating the DVL velocity vector.

description: Implicit integration of the viscous term can significantly improve performance in computational fluid dynamics for highly viscous fluids such as lava. We show improvements over our previous proposal for semi-implicit viscous integration in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, extending it to support a wider range of boundary models. Due to the resulting loss of matrix symmetry, a key advancement is a more robust version of the biconjugate gradient stabilized method to solve the linear systems, that is also better suited for parallelization in both shared-memory and distributed-memory systems. The advantages of the new solver are demostrated in applications with both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, covering both the numerical aspect (improved convergence thanks to the possibility to use more accurate boundary model) and the computing aspect (with excellent strong scaling and satisfactory weak scaling).

description: We investigate a time-independent many-boson system, whose ground states are quasi-degenerate and become infinitely degenerate in the thermodynamic limit. Out of these quasi-degenerate ground states we construct a quantum state that evolves in time with a period that is logarithmically proportional to the number of particles, that is, T~logN. This boson system in such a state is a quantum time crystal as it approaches the ground state in the thermodynamic limit. The logarithmic dependence of its period on the total particle number N makes it observable experimentally even for systems with very large number of particles. Possible experimental proposals are discussed.

description: We perform numerical studies of a thermally driven, overdamped particle in a random quenched force field, known as the Sinai model. We compare the unbounded motion on an infinite 1-dimensional domain to the motion in bounded domains with reflecting boundaries and show that the unbounded motion is at every time close to the equilibrium state of a finite system of growing size. This is due to time scale separation: Inside wells of the random potential, there is relatively fast equilibration, while the motion across major potential barriers is ultraslow. Quantities studied by us are the time dependent mean squared displacement, the time dependent mean energy of an ensemble of particles, and the time dependent entropy of the probability distribution. Using a very fast numerical algorithm, we can explore times up top $10^{17}$ steps and thereby also study finite-time crossover phenomena.

description: We present here a low-cost Raspberry Pi (RPi)-based star sensor StarberrySense using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components, developed and built for applications in small satellites and CubeSat-based missions. A star sensor is one of the essential instruments onboard a satellite for attitude determination. However, most commercially available star sensors are expensive and bulky to be used in small satellite missions. StarberrySense is a configurable system -- it can operate as an imaging camera, a centroiding camera, or as a star sensor. We describe the algorithms implemented in the sensor, its assembly and calibration. This payload was selected by a recent Announcement of Opportunity call for payloads to fly on the PS4-Orbital Platform by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

description: Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is seen as a key enabler for nextgeneration wireless communication systems, being capable of delivering very high throughput and reduced inter-cell interference by using spatial multiplexing and simple linear processing. In this thesis, we present new contributions to the massive MIMO field, covering aspects related to power allocation, user selection, and cell-free systems. Regarding power allocation, we propose a new initialization scheme for the max-min fairness power allocation algorithm used in massive MIMO systems under line-of-sight (LoS) propagation. The proposed scheme guarantees convergence to the optimal point. Additionally, we propose the bound test procedure as an even more efficient way of initializing the search interval. As for the user selection, we provide a review of user selection algorithms for massive MIMO systems under LoS propagation, highlighting the role of the favorable propagation condition in this scenario and the design of common linear precoding techniques. Although the LoS propagation is extremely important to some promising technologies, like in millimeter-wave communications, massive MIMO systems are rarely studied under this propagation model. Moreover, we propose two new user selection algorithms. The first one, called inter-channel interference-based selection (ICIBS), takes the global interference in the system into account, whereas the second one, namely fading-ratio-based selection (FRBS), considers both the global interference and the large-scale fading. These new algorithms present advantages over the algorithms in the literature, outperforming them in some scenarios, such as clustered and crowded scenarios. Simulation results show that when the ICIBS and FRBS are compared to the competing algorithms, the proposed approaches provided improved maximum throughput and 95%-probability throughput in some scenarios. For the cell-free massive MIMO systems, we evaluate the uplink performance of cell-free massive MIMO systems corrupted by quantization noise with correlated Rician fading channels. We present an expression for the uplink spectral efficiency for any linear combiner. Furthermore, we derive the optimal minimum mean squared error channel estimator and present a suboptimal scalable combiner.

description: We propose a novel framework for Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection using brain MRIs. The framework starts with a data augmentation method called Brain-Aware Replacements (BAR), which leverages a standard brain parcellation to replace medically-relevant 3D brain regions in an anchor MRI from a randomly picked MRI to create synthetic samples. Ground truth "hard" labels are also linearly mixed depending on the replacement ratio in order to create "soft" labels. BAR produces a great variety of realistic-looking synthetic MRIs with higher local variability compared to other mix-based methods, such as CutMix. On top of BAR, we propose using a soft-label-capable supervised contrastive loss, aiming to learn the relative similarity of representations that reflect how mixed are the synthetic MRIs using our soft labels. This way, we do not fully exhaust the entropic capacity of our hard labels, since we only use them to create soft labels and synthetic MRIs through BAR. We show that a model pre-trained using our framework can be further fine-tuned with a cross-entropy loss using the hard labels that were used to create the synthetic samples. We validated the performance of our framework in a binary AD detection task against both from-scratch supervised training and state-of-the-art self-supervised training plus fine-tuning approaches. Then we evaluated BAR's individual performance compared to another mix-based method CutMix by integrating it within our framework. We show that our framework yields superior results in both precision and recall for the AD detection task.

title: Die Korrelationen zwischen Traum und Film
Creators: name: Igel, Anna Louise Carola
Year: 2019

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich mit den Korrelationen zwischen Traum und Film auseinander. Um die Beziehung zwischen dem Medium Film und dem der Menschheit omnipräsenten Phänomen des Träumens anschaulich darzustellen, wurde der Frage nachgegangen, wie und ob sich die Darstellungsmöglichkeiten des Traums im Laufe der Filmgeschichte verändert haben. Eine besondere Berücksichtigung gilt hier deren psychoanalytischer Verankerung in den Traumtheorien Sigmund Freuds und Carl Gustav Jungs. Um einen umfassenden Überblick über die Traumforschung zu geben, wird dieser erst aus neurobiologischer Perspektive und später aus zweifacher psychoanalytischer Perspektive – einmal anhand von Freuds Traumdeutung und einmal anhand von C. G. Jungs Überlegungen zur Traumdeutung - hergeleitet. Danach werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen Traum und Film differenziert, um dann die Entwicklung der filmischen Traumdarstellung zu beleuchten. Anschließend werden zur Überprüfung der Fragestellung die drei Filme Geheimnisse einer Seele (Georg Wilhelm Pabst, 1926), Spellbound (Alfred Hitchcock, 1945) und Paprika (Satoshi Kon, 2006) hinsichtlich ihrer Trauminszenierung und -einbettung, sowie der Funktion des Traums analysiert. Diese drei Werke wurden deshalb ausgewählt, da sie ein jeweils anderes Kapitel der filmgeschichtlichen Entwicklungen repräsentieren. Hierbei stellt sich heraus, dass sich die filmdiegetische Darstellung des Traums analog zur technischen Weiterentwicklung des Films selbst entfaltet hat. Die hier analysierten Beispiele unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich der diegetischen Einbettung, der visuellen und akustischen Darstellung des Traums, sowie der Position/Miteinbeziehung des_der Rezipient_innen. Eine Gemeinsamkeit aller drei Filmbeispiele ist die übergeordnete Funktion des Traums, dem Zuschauer die Vergangenheit des träumenden Charakters näherzubringen.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt das Ziel, auf der Grundlage von Interviews mit Lehrenden schreibintensiver Studiengänge, in denen Texte und Sprache eine wichtige Rolle spielen, Implikationen für die Lehre und Beurteilung wissenschaftlichen Schreibens abzuleiten, die einer heterogenen Studierendenschaft in der Migrationsgesellschaft gerecht werden. Dabei wird der Versuch unternommen, wissenschaftliche Schreibentwicklung aus einer migrationspädagogischen Perspektive so zu fassen, dass verschiedene Voraussetzungen und Mehrsprachigkeit bei der Unterstützung durch Lehrende fruchtbar gemacht werden können. Fünf Interviews wurden in Anlehnung an die Grounded Theory Methodologie analysiert und interpretiert. Dabei haben sich im Rahmen der Vermittlung und Beurteilung wissenschaftlichen Schreibens verschiedene Spannungsfelder und Dilemmata gezeigt, die eine weitere Auseinandersetzung mit der Zielgruppe Studierende in der Migrationsgesellschaft unter Bezugnahme des Aspekts der Sprachaneignung nahelegen. Darauf aufbauend erscheint es sinnvoll, die (Weiter-)Entwicklung von Konzepten und den Ausbau von Professionalisierungsangeboten für Lehrende zu fokussieren.

description: Over the past six years (2015-2021), many superconducting hydrides with critical temperatures $T_{C}$ up to 250 K, which are currently record highs, have been discovered. Now we can already say that a special field of superconductivity has developed. This is hydride superconductivity at ultrahigh pressures. For the most part, the properties of superhydrides are well described by the Migdal-Eliashberg theory of strong electron-phonon interaction, especially when anharmonicity of phonons is taken into account. The isotope effect, the effect of the magnetic field (up to 60-70 T) on the critical temperature and critical current in the hydride samples, the dependence of $T_{C}$ on the pressure and degree of doping were investigated. The divergences between the theory and experiment are of interest, especially in the field of phase stability and in the behavior of the upper critical magnetic fields at low temperatures. This article presents a retrospective analysis of data of 2015-2021 and describes promising directions for future research of hydride superconductivity.

title: Die Umsetzung der Zweisprachigkeit an einer deutsch-kroatischen Volksschule im Burgenland
Creators: name: Handler, Veronika
Year: 2019

description: Vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Umsetzung der Zweisprachigkeit an einer Volksschule im zweisprachigen Burgenland. In Ortschaften des österreichischen Burgenlands wird neben dem Deutschen auch eine zweite Sprache gesprochen – das Burgenlandkroatische, die Sprache einer in Österreich anerkannten autochthonen Minderheiten- beziehungsweise Volksgruppe. Ziel der Arbeit war es aufzuzeigen, wie der bilinguale Unterricht an untersuchter Schule in der Praxis umgesetzt wird. Im Fokus des Interesses stand nicht nur die herkömmliche Art des zweisprachigen Unterrichts, sondern auch die Umsetzung des neuen Immersionsprojekts, das seit Februar 2019 in Schulen des Burgenlands eingeführt wurde. Um ein möglichst ausführliches Bild über die interessierenden Fragestellungen zu bekommen, wurde ein Forschungsdesign angewandt, das sich aus insgesamt vier verschiedenen Methoden zusammensetzt. Diese sind zum einen die Durchführung von Sprachenportraits und einer Unterrichtsbeobachtung, zum anderen das Durchführen von Experteninterviews und Linguistic Landscpae. Im Rahmen der Untersuchung hat sich gezeigt, dass Kroatisch und Deutsch die am stärksten vertretenen Sprachen der Schule sind und diese Zweisprachigkeit auch deutlich durch Beschilderungen und Gestaltung der Klassenzimmer sichtbar gemacht wird. Während bei der herkömmlichen zweisprachigen Unterrichtsmethode ein Wechsel zwischen den Sprachen, sowohl innerhalb eines Satzes, als auch innerhalb einer Unterrichtsstunde erlaubt und regelmäßig praktiziert wird, versucht man auf diesen Sprachwechsel an den Tagen der Immersion komplett zu verzichten. Durch die Untersuchung konnte festgestellt werden, dass dies an konkreter Schule meist sehr gut funktioniert, wobei sowohl auf Seiten der Lehrpersonen als auch auf Seiten der SchülerInnen Ausnahmen beobachtet werden konnten. Diese Ausnahmen nehmen allerdings stetig ab und werden auf die Umstellung von einer Unterrichtsmethode auf die andere zurückgeführt. Vor- und Nachteile werden sowohl in der herkömmlichen zweisprachigen Methode, als auch in der Immersion gesehen, wodurch das Ziel dieser Schule darin besteht, die Durchführung der Immersion an vier Tagen der Woche und die Durchführung eines gemischten Tages an einem Tag der Woche, umzusetzen. Aufgrund der Untersuchungsergebnisse ist man zuversichtlich, dass dies eine gute Möglichkeit ist, beide Sprachen im Unterricht zu forcieren und sowohl das Niveau im Kroatischen als auch die Deutschkompetenz der Kinder zu erhöhen.

description: Thermal, non-catalytic conversion of light olefins (C2= - C4=) was originally utilized in the production of motor fuels at several U.S. refineries in the 1920-30’s. However, the resulting fuels had relatively low-octane number and required harsh operating conditions (T > 450 oC, P > 50 bar), ultimately leading to its succession by solid acid catalytic processes. Despite the early utilization of the thermal reaction, relatively little is known about the reaction products, kinetics, and initiation pathway under liquid-producing conditions. In this thesis, thermal ethylene conversion was investigated near the industrial operating conditions, i.e, at temperatures between 320 and 500 oC and ethylene pressures from 1.5 to 43.5 bar. Non-oligomer products such as propylene and/or higher odd carbon products were observed at all reaction temperatures, pressures, and reaction extents. Methane and ethane were minor products (< 1 % each), even at ethylene conversions as high as 74 %. The isomer distributions revealed a preference for linear, terminal C4 and C5. The reaction order was found to be 2nd order with a temperature dependent activation energy ranging from 165 to 244 kJ/mol. The importance of diradical species in generating free radicals during a two-phase initiation process was proposed. The reaction chemistry for ethylene, which has only strong, vinyl C-H bonds starkly contrasted propylene, which possesses weaker allylic C-H bonds and showed preference for dimeric C6 products over C2-C8 non-oligomers. Extending this work further, the thermal oligomerization of ethylene was enhanced using high surface area supports such as silica and alumina. Both supports resulted in order of magnitude rate increases compared to the gas phase reaction, however the ethylene conversion rate with alumina was superior to silica by a factor of between 100 and 1,000. Additionally, the alumina evidently confers a catalytic function, resulting in altered product distributions, notably an increase in branched products such as isobutene and isopentenes. The oligomerization chemistry with alumina appears to reflect the involvement of Lewis acid sites rather than traditional Brønsted acid or transition metal catalysis, which operate via carbenium ion and metal-alkyl intermediates, respectively.
title: Media and Bitcoin bubble

description: Bitcoin ist ein neues Finanzkonzept, das von der breiten Öffentlichkeit, den Institutionen und den Regulatoren immer mehr Aufmerksamkeit erregt. Der Preis, der knapp 20.000 Dollar erreichte, trug ebenfalls zu einer umfangreichen Medienberichterstattung bei. Es gibt viele Theorien in den modernen Wirtschaftsstudien, die erklären versuchen würden warum Bitcoin ein solches Wachstum erlebt hat. Diese Diplomarbeit untersucht jedoch die Rolle, die Medien gespielt haben könnten. Es gibt überzeugende Beweise dafür, dass die Medien die Wahrnehmung der Öffentlichkeit in verschiedenen Bereichen, einschließlich Finanzthemen, steuern und verändern könnten und auch zu einer Überbewertung von Vermögenswerte geführt haben. Die Studie untersucht und annotiert manuell die Berichterstattung von FT.com während der letzten Bubble von Bitcoin - von 2015 bis 2017. Es beobachtet die Häufigkeit der Veröffentlichungen über den Zeitraum, ihr Typ sowie ihre Sentiment - negativ, neutral oder positiv. Während die Daten spärlich waren, um eine zeitliche Verzögerung zwischen der Sentiment von Publikationen und der Preis von Bitcoin zu schließen, zeigen die Ergebnisse durch random forest - maschinellen Lernalgorithmus, dass die Sentiment des Artikels und die Titelsentiment die beiden wichtigsten Eigenschaften sind, die Bitcoins Intraday-Preisaktion definieren, die zu einer Bubble führen könnte, wenn Aufbau vorhanden wird.
description: Bitcoin is new financial concept, which enjoys evergrowing attention from the wide public, institutions and regulators. Its price hitting just shy of $20 000 also contributed to extensive media coverage. There are many theories in the modern economic studies, that would try to explain Bitcoin experiencing such growth. This thesis however, explores the role media might have played. Convicing evidences exist, that media might steer and alter the perception of the public on various matters, including financial topics and has been said to excessive pricing too. The research manually explores and annotates coverage of FT.com during Bitcoin's most recent bubble - from 2015 to 2017. It observes frequency of publications over the period, their genre as well as their sentiment - negative, neutral or positive. While the data was sparse to conclude a lag between the sentiment and Bitcoin's valuation, the results from a supervised random forest machine learning algorithm show that sentiment of the article as well as title sentiment are the two most important features defining Bitcoin's intraday price action, which could lead to a bubble if build - up is established.

description: Developing high quality GaN/dielectric interfaces is a fundamental step for manufacturing GaN vertical power transistors. In this paper, we quantitatively investigate the effect of planar etching treatment and trench formation on the performance of GaN-based MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) stacks. The results demonstrate that (i) blanket etching the GaN surface does not degrade the robustness of the deposited dielectric layer; (ii) the addition of the trench etch, while improving reproducibility, results in a decrease of breakdown performance compared to the planar structures. (iii) for the trench structures, the voltage for a 10 years lifetime is still above 20 V, indicating a good robustness. (iv) To review the trapping performance across the metal-dielectric-GaN stack, forward-reverse capacitance-voltage measurements with and without stress and photo-assistance are performed. Overall, as-grown planar capacitors devoid of prior etching steps show lowest trapping, while trench capacitors have higher interface trapping, and bulk trapping comparable to the blanket etched capacitors. (v) The nanostructure of the GaN/dielectric interface was characterized by high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM). An increased roughness of 2-3 monolayers at the GaN surface was observed after blanket etching, which was correlated to the higher density of interface traps. The results presented in this paper give fundamental insight on how the etch and trench processing affects the trapping and robustness of trench-gate GaN-MOSFETs, and provide guidance for the optimization of device performance.
