description: Coastal ecosystems provide a number of life-sustaining services, from which benefits to humans can be derived. They are often inhabited by aquatic vegetation, such as mangroves, sea grasses and salt marshes. Given their wide geographic distribution and coverage, there is need to prioritize conservation efforts. An understanding of the human importance of these ecosystems can help with that prioritization. Here, we summarize a literature review of ecosystem service valuation studies. We discuss (1) the degree to which current valuation information is sufficient to prioritize blue carbon habitat conservation and restoration, (2) the relevancy of available studies, and (3) what is missing from the literature that would be needed to effectively prioritize conservation. Given the recent focus on blue carbon ecosystems in the international conservation, there are a number of areas where research on blue forest ecosystem assessment and valuation could be improved, from enhancing available methodologies to increasing valuation of rarely studied ecosystem services and wider geographic coverage of valuation studies. This review highlights these gaps and calls for a focus on broadening the ecosystem services that are valued, the methods used, and increasing valuation in underrepresented regions.
Kinematic Signature of a Rotating Bar Near a Resonance

Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: There have been several recent suggestions that the Milky Way has rotating bar-like features based on HI and star count data. In this paper, I show that such features cause distinctive stellar kinematic signatures near OLR and ILR. The effects of these resonances may be observable far from the peak density of the pattern and relatively nearby the solar position. The details of the kinematic signatures depend on the evolutionary history of the `bar' and therefore velocity data, both systemic and velocity dispersion, may be used to probe the evolutionary history as well as the present state of the Galaxy. Kinematic models for a variety of simple scenarios are presented. Models with evolving pattern speeds show significantly stronger dispersion signatures than those with static pattern speeds, suggesting that useful observational constraints are possible. The models are applied to the proposed rotating spheroid and bar models; we find: 1) none of these models chosen to represent the proposed large-scale rotating spheroid are consistent with the stellar kinematics; and 2) a Galactic bar with semimajor axis of $3\kpc$ will cause a large increase in velocity dispersion in the vicinity of OLR ($\sim5\kpc$) with little change in the net radial motion and such a signature is suggested by K-giant velocity data. Potential future observations and analyses are discussed.

description: Next to many hydrophilic surfaces, including those of biological cells and tissues, a layer of water that effectively excludes solutes and particles can be generated. This interfacial water is the subject of research aiming for practical applications such as removal of salts, pathogens or manipulation of biomolecules. Yet, the exact mechanism of its creation is still elusive, because its persistence and extension contradict hydrogen-bond dynamics and electric double layer predictions. The experimentally recorded negative voltage of this interfacial water remains to be properly explained. Even less is known about the nature of such water layers in biological systems. We present experimental evidence for ion and particle exclusion as a result of separation of ionic charges with distinct diffusion rates across a liquid junction at the gel/water interface and the subsequent repulsion of ions of a given sign by a like-charged gel surface. Gels represent features of biological interfaces (in terms of functional groups and porosity) and are subject to biologically relevant chemical triggers. Our results show that gels with –OSO3- and –COO- groups can effectively generate ion- and particle-depleted regions of water reaching over 100 μm and having negative voltage up to - 30 mV. Exclusion distance and electric potential depend on the liquid junction potential at the gel/water interface and on the concentration gradient at the depleted region/bulk interface, respectively. The voltage and extension of these ion- and particle-depleted water layers can be effectively modified by CO2 (respiratory gas) or KH2PO4 (cell metabolite). Possible implications pertain to biological unstirred water layers and a cell’s bioenergetics.

description: Digital collectible card games are not only a growing part of the video game industry, but also an interesting research area for the field of computational intelligence. This game genre allows researchers to deal with hidden information, uncertainty and planning, among other aspects. This paper proposes the use of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) to develop agents who play a card game, Hearthstone, by optimizing a data-driven decision-making mechanism that takes into account all the elements currently in play. Agents feature self-learning by means of a competitive coevolutionary training approach, whereby no external sparring element defined by the user is required for the optimization process. One of the agents developed through the proposed approach was runner-up (best 6%) in an international Hearthstone Artificial Intelligence (AI) competition. Our proposal performed remarkably well, even when it faced state-of-the-art techniques that attempted to take into account future game states, such as Monte-Carlo Tree search. This outcome shows how evolutionary computation could represent a considerable advantage in developing AIs for collectible card games such as Hearthstone.

description: We present a compact design for a velocity-map imaging spectrometer for energetic electrons and ions. The standard geometry by Eppink and Parker [A. T. J. B. Eppink and D. H. Parker, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 68, 3477 (1997)] is augmented by just two extended electrodes so as to realize an additional einzel lens. In this way, for a maximum electrode voltage of 7 kV we experimentally demonstrate imaging of electrons with energies up to 65 eV. Simulations show that energy acceptances of <270 and <1,200 eV with an energy resolution of dE / E <5% are achievable for electrode voltages of <20 kV when using diameters of the position-sensitive detector of 42 and 78 mm, respectively.
Two-Loop Renormalization in the Standard Model Part II: Renormalization Procedures and Computational Techniques

description: In part I general aspects of the renormalization of a spontaneously broken gauge theory have been introduced. Here, in part II, two-loop renormalization is introduced and discussed within the context of the minimal Standard Model. Therefore, this paper deals with the transition between bare parameters and fields to renormalized ones. The full list of one- and two-loop counterterms is shown and it is proven that, by a suitable extension of the formalism already introduced at the one-loop level, two-point functions suffice in renormalizing the model. The problem of overlapping ultraviolet divergencies is analyzed and it is shown that all counterterms are local and of polynomial nature. The original program of 't Hooft and Veltman is at work. Finite parts are written in a way that allows for a fast and reliable numerical integration with all collinear logarithms extracted analytically. Finite renormalization, the transition between renormalized parameters and physical (pseudo-)observables, will be discussed in part III where numerical results, e.g. for the complex poles of the unstable gauge bosons, will be shown. An attempt will be made to define the running of the electromagnetic coupling constant at the two-loop level.

Hydrodynamic Instability and Coalescence of Binary Neutron Stars

description: We study the importance of hydrodynamic effects on the evolution of coalescing binary neutron stars. Using an approximate energy functional constructed from equilibrium solutions for polytropic binary configurations, we incorporate hydrodynamic effects into the calculation of the orbital decay driven by gravitational wave emission. In particular, we follow the transition between the quasi-static, secular decay of the orbit at large separation and the rapid dynamical evolution of configurations approaching contact. We show that a purely Newtonian hydrodynamic instability can significantly accelerate the coalescence at small separation. Such an instability occurs in all close binary configurations containing sufficiently incompressible stars. Calculations are performed for various neutron star masses, radii, spins, and effective polytropic indices. Typically, we find that the radial infall velocity just prior to contact is about 10\% of the tangential orbital velocity. Post-Newtonian effects can move the stability limit to a larger binary separation, and may induce an even larger radial velocity. We also consider the possibility of mass transfer from one neutron star to the other. We show that stable mass transfer is impossible except when the mass of one of the components is very small (less than about 0.4 solar mass) and the viscosity is high enough to maintain corotation.

description: In part I and II of this series of papers all elements have been introduced to extend, to two loops, the set of renormalization procedures which are needed in describing the properties of a spontaneously broken gauge theory. In this paper, the final step is undertaken and finite renormalization is discussed. Two-loop renormalization equations are introduced and their solutions discussed within the context of the minimal standard model of fundamental interactions. These equations relate renormalized Lagrangian parameters (couplings and masses) to some input parameter set containing physical (pseudo-)observables. Complex poles for unstable gauge and Higgs bosons are used and a consistent setup is constructed for extending the predictivity of the theory from the Lep1 Z-boson scale (or the Lep2 WW scale) to regions of interest for LHC and ILC physics.

description: Fragmentation of the planetesimals is found to play a role whose importance is greater than previously believed and depends on the average characteristic size of the primordial planetesimals but not on their mass distribution. In the small size range the mass spectrum is strongly modified with the formation of a small bodies tail but, on the other hand, the growth of the most massive objects is significantly slowed down. The formation of planetary embryos much more massive than the rest of the swarm is delayed; nevertheless the time-scale problem for the growth of the outer planets is not revived.

Human Motion Planning and -Adjustment during Obstacle Traversal in Virtual Reality
Creators: name: Hofmann, Florian
Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 570

description: Safe and reliable locomotion is a fundamental aspect of human life, involving adaptive responses to environmental disturbances such as obstacles or slopes. With obstacle-related falls being a leading cause of injury, particularly among older adults, it is crucial to understand the processes underlying successful obstacle traversal in humans.

This thesis investigates and quantifies the effects of slope on human obstacle traversal — a facet largely overlooked in preceding studies. It investigates the complexities of the interaction of slope on the one hand and spatial disturbance by means of obstacles on the other. With a focus on this interaction, it provides comparative insights into differences between walking and running, thus broadening the understanding of biomechanical adaptations to variable terrain.

The approach taken by this thesis rests on two methodological improvements:

1. the Interactive Locomotion Lab (ILL), a state-of-the art laboratory for studying human locomotion, combines Virtual Reality (VR), motion-capturing and a six-degrees-of-freedom motion-base, allowing precise and repeatable measurements and a wide range of study-specific experimental designs.
2. the use of advanced statistical modelling techniques, to analyse the relative effects of multiple factors and their interactions on recorded time-series.

The combination of these methods allowed us to tell apart slope-dependent from obstacle-dependent effects and resulted in findings that challenge common findings, such as lift-off distances being constant across wide ranges of conditions. Instead, here, we show that lift-off distance increases with slope. With respect to gaits, we show uni-directional inter-gait learning transfers, supporting the theory that walking and running are manifestations of the same underlying control system.

In conclusion, this thesis emphasizes the relevance of slope in human obsta- cle traversal — an aspect which has not been fully addressed in prior research. Our findings demonstrate that slope significantly impacts key aspects of human obsta- cle traversal, inviting consideration of this factor in past and future studies, thus refining our understanding of obstacle traversal dynamics. As we advance in this field, further investigations could explore the influence of diverse slope conditions on gait and obstacle negotiation, thereby enabling advances in other fields such as robotics, fall-prevention or urban planning.

description: Generally, there are three main factors that determine the practical usability of registration, i.e., accuracy, robustness, and efficiency. In real-time applications, efficiency and robustness are more important. To promote these two abilities, we cast the multi-view registration into a clustering task. All the centroids are uniformly sampled from the initially aligned point sets involved in the multi-view registration, which makes it rather efficient and effective for the clustering. Then, each point is assigned to a single cluster and each cluster centroid is updated accordingly. Subsequently, the shape comprised by all cluster centroids is used to sequentially estimate the rigid transformation for each point set. For accuracy and stability, clustering and transformation estimation are alternately and iteratively applied to all point sets. We tested our proposed approach on several benchmark datasets and compared it with state-of-the-art approaches. Experimental results validate its efficiency and robustness for the registration of multi-view point sets.

Tidally Induced Elongation and Alignments of Galaxy Clusters
Creators: name: Salvador-Sole, Eduard

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that tidal interaction among galaxy clusters can account for their observed alignments and very marked elongation and, consequently, that these characteristics of clusters are actually consistent with them being formed in hierarchical clustering. The well-established distribution of projected axial ratios of clusters with richness class $R\ge 0$ is recovered very satisfactorily by means of a simple model with no free parameters. The main perturbers are relatively rich ($R\ge 1$) single clusters and/or groups of clusters (superclusters) of a wider richness class ($R\ge 0$) located within a distance of about 65 $h^{-1}$ Mpc from the perturbed cluster. This makes the proposed scheme be also consistent with all reported alignment effects involving clusters. We find that this tidal interaction is typically in the saturate regime (\ie the maximum elongation allowed for systems in equilibrium is reached), which explains the very similar intrinsic axial ratio shown by all clusters. Tides would therefore play an important role in the dynamics of large scale structures, in particular, they should be taken into account when estimating the virial mass of clusters.

We present quantum online quasi-Newton methods to tackle the problem and show that there exists quantum advantages for such problems. Our method approximates the Hessian by quantum estimated inexact gradient and can achieve $O(n\log T)$ regret with $O(1)$ queries at each round, where $n$ is the dimension of the decision set and $T$ is the total decision rounds. Such regret improves the optimal classical algorithm by a factor of $T^{2/3}$.

description: Motivated by multi-throat considerations, we study the phenomenological implications of a bulk axion in a slice of AdS_5 with a large extra dimension: k~0.01 eV, kR > 1. In particular, we compare axion physics with a warped geometry to axions in flat compactifications. As in flat compactification scenarios, we find that the mass of the axion can become independent from the underlying Peccei-Quinn scale. Surprisingly, we find that in warped extra dimensions the axion's invisibility, cosmological viability, and basic phenomenology remain essentially unaltered in comparison to axions in flat compactifications.

description: The anisotropy and polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) induced by the scalar and tensor metric perturbations are computed in the long-wavelength limit. It is found that the large-scale polarization of CMBR induced by the decaying tensor mode can reach a few percents. This is different from the scalar or inflation-induced tensor mode, whereas the polarization is at least two orders of magnitude lower. The effect of matter re-ionization on CMBR is also considered. We conclude that measuring the polarization of CMBR on large-angular scales can probe the ionization history of the early Universe, and test different cosmological models.

description: Precision experiments exploiting low-energy photons may yield information on particle physics complementary to experiments at high-energy colliders, in particular on new very light and very weakly interacting particles, predicted in many extensions of the standard model. Such particles may be produced by laser photons send along a transverse magnetic field. The laser polarization experiment PVLAS may have seen the first indirect signal of such particles by observing an anomalously large rotation of the polarization plane of photons after the passage through a magnetic field. This can be interpreted as evidence for photon disappearance due to particle production. There are a number of experimental proposals to test independently the particle interpretation of PVLAS. Many of them are based on the search for photon reappearance or regeneration, i.e. for ``light shining through a wall''. At DESY, the Axion-Like Particle Search (ALPS) collaboration is currently setting up such an experiment.

The influence of Early Architectural Reconstruction Drawings in Near Eastern Archaeology
Creators: name: Hageneuer, Sebastian
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2018
Subjects: Archaeology

description: This paper looks at the influences that shaped early architectural reconstruction drawings in Near Eastern Archaeology, starting with the 1867 visualisation of Khorsabad by Victor Place. The reconstruction of the ziggurat and the two domes flanking the principal entranceway to the palace at Khorsabad are of special interest.

Nilpotent Orbits for Borel Subgroups of $SO_{5}(k)$

description: Let $G$ be a quasi-simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $B$ a Borel subgroup of $G$ acting on the nilradical $\mathfrak{n}$ of its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{b}$ via the Adjoint representation. It is known that $B$ has only finitely many orbits in only five cases: when $G$ is of type $A_{n}$ for $n \leq 4$, and when $G$ is type $B_{2}$. In this paper, we elaborate on this work in the case when $G =SO_{5}(k)$ (type $B_{2})$ by finding the polynomial defining equations of each orbit. We use these equations to determine the dimension of the orbits and the closure ordering on the set of orbits. The other four cases, when $G$ is type $A_{n}$, can be approached the same way and are treated in a separate paper.

The visualisation of Uruk - First impressions of the first metropolis in the world
Creators: name: Hageneuer, Sebastian
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2018
Subjects: Archaeology

description: Since 2008, a collaboration between the Oriental Department of the German Archaeological Institute under the supervision of Dr. Margarete van Ess and the Berlin-based conceptual design agency Artefacts has been carried out to visualise major parts of one of the oldest cities in the world. A mixture of archaeological data, textual sources, ethnographic parallels and structural considerations were used to reconstruct an ancient city, that is in some places preserved only to a height of a couple of centimetres. The
scarce archaeological evidence required a multidisciplinary approach in reconstructing the site. During our work, we developed three modes of presentation: Basic Models, Technical Reconstructions and Extended Reconstructions, each building up on each other. This paper will show their characteristics, advantages and field of usability and present my own concept of Visualised Theories.

title: Bewertung von Unsicherheiten beim Variantenvergleich energetischer Quartierssanierungen: Entwicklung eines Simulationsmodells zur Berücksichtigung streuender Einflussgrößen über den Lebenszyklus bei der ökonomischen und ökologischen Bewertung von Wohnquartieren
Creators: name: Koert, Johannes

description: Zur Bewältigung der Klimakrise, einer der größten globalen Aufgaben des 21. Jahrhunderts, hat sich Deutschland zur Erreichung der Treibhausgasneutralität bis 2045 verpflichtet. Die notwendigen Ziele zur Senkung der Treibhausgasemissionen des Gebäudesektors durch energetische Sanierung und eine Dekarbonisierung der Wärmeversorgung werden jedoch seit Jahren verfehlt. Als Hindernis wird neben mangelnden ökonomischen Anreizen die fehlende Transparenz bezüglich der Auswirkungen verschiedener Sanierungskonzepte vermutet. Insbesondere für die Handlungsebene des Quartiers fehlt es an robusten Bewertungsmethoden zur Unterstützung der relevanten Akteure bei der Entscheidungsfindung.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde daher eine Methodik entwickelt, welche eine Bewertung energetischer Quartierssanierungskonzepte unter Berücksichtigung von Unsicherheiten ermöglicht. Basis der Methodik sind Monte-Carlo Simulationen dynamischer Gebäude- und Quartiersmodelle zur Ermittlung der Quartiersenergiebedarfe. Anschließend folgen eine Ökobilanzierung und eine Lebenszykluskostenrechnung unter Verwendung von Szenarien zur Abbildung zukünftiger Entwicklungen unsicherer Eingangsparameter. Ergebnis der Methodik sind ökonomische, ökologische und energetische Indikatoren, die eine Vielzahl von Akteuren der energetischen Quartiersplanung bei der Entscheidungsfindung hinsichtlich einer Variantenauswahl unterstützen können. Die beispielhafte Anwendung der Methodik zeigt deren Robustheit und den Mehrwert im Vergleich zu einer deterministischen Berechnung.

description: 1941. Walking down the main road in a Hampshire village as an 8-year-old, staring up in the sky watching aerial dogfights between German and allied aircraft, Messerschmitts and Focke Wulfs against Hurricane and Spitfires. Machine gun and cannon fire, wheeling aircraft in and out of the clouds. Wishing like mad that I could be in one of the Allied aircraft.During the heavy bombing, We were about 25 miles from Portsmouth and Southampton, but the sky was a red glow from the fires, so we could sit with the curtains open and have enough light to sit around the table and have our tea.Prior to D-Day. Word in the village was that gliders had crashed at the north end of the village. We boys jumped on our bicycles and peddled furiously up to the spot. We found that three Hawser gliders had landed in a field next to the children's home. Unfortunately, the ground slopes sharply down to a group of mature Beech trees. The gliders had crashed into them, mostly removing their wings. Fortunately, only the pilots were on board as it seemed to be a training mission.Waking up and finding a field near the centre of the village full of Bell tents. An American airborne unit bivouacked overnight.Hearing that a Flying Fortress had crashed nearby another bicycle journey to view the site. We boys managed to collect some pieces of the Perspex from the cockpit. With the help of a hot poker and a hacksaw, we turned into rings. We thought they were great.My father had built an air-raid shelter next to our house. When the V1 and V2 bombs came over, you could hear the drone of their engines approaching, and hoped like hell, that it kept running. Which meant of course, that it was going to fall somewhere else. On a few occasions, the engine cut out above us, and it was a rush to get into the shelter. You just got settled when you heard the Crump of the explosion in the vicinity.

description: We present muon spin rotation measurements on superconducting Cu intercalated Bi$_2$Se$_3$, which was suggested as a realization of a topological superconductor. We observe a clear evidence of the superconducting transition below 4 K, where the width of magnetic field distribution increases as the temperature is decreased. The measured broadening at mK temperatures suggests a large London penetration depth in the $ab$ plane ($λ_{\mathrm{eff}}\sim 1.6$ $\mathrmμ$m). We show that the temperature dependence of this broadening follows the BCS prediction, but could be consistent with several gap symmetries.
