description: Two-pion correlation functions, measured as a function of azimuthal emission angle with respect to the reaction plane, provide novel information on the anisotropic shape and orientation of the pion-emitting zone formed in heavy ion collisions. We present the first experimental determination of this information, for semi-central Au+Au collisions at 2-6 AGeV. The source extension perpendicular to the reaction plane is greater than the extension in the plane, and tilt of the pion source in coordinate space is found to be opposite its tilt in momentum space.

On-Road Trajectory Planning for General Autonomous Driving with Enhanced Tunability

description: In order to achieve smooth autonomous driving in real-life urban and highway environments, a motion planner must generate trajectories that are locally smooth and responsive (reactive), and at the same time, far-sighted and intelligent (deliberative). Prior approaches achieved both planning qualities for full-speed-range operations at a high computational cost. Moreover, the planning formulations were mostly a trajectory search problem based on a single weighted cost, which became hard to tune and highly scenario-constrained due to overfitting. In this paper, a pipelined (phased) framework with tunable planning modules is proposed for general on-road motion planning to reduce the computational overhead and improve the tunability of the planner.

description: The 2015 xenophobic attacks in Durban left thousands of the victims mostly displaced foreign nationals in the shelters arranged by the South African government in accordance with the regulations of the United Nations. Millions were spent by the government in ensuring and providing basic services and necessities and professional assistance by a number of government departments, civil society groups and universities. Despite these concerted coordinated efforts by govern?ment, criticisms have been levelled against them on shelter management, opera?tions, living conditions and lack of the inter and intra-stakeholder coordination by the media, scholars and anti-state civil society groups. Meanwhile, an empirical study dissecting the displaced shelters’ operations, stakeholders’ activities, reinte?gration and repatriation challenges as well as the living conditions in the estab?lishments has not been published. This study intends to interrogate the displaced shelters for the immigrants’ government agencies and civil society operations, success and failure stories as well as the reintegration and repatriation challenges faced by the government officials. This angle has not been researched and unearthed by researchers. This study contributes to the scholarly literature by espousing dimensions of the shelters and dissecting the actions and behaviour of the displaced immigrants who have been considered by a host of stakeholders as the victims in the shelters. Their attitudes and activities are analysed.
Accurate Hydrogen Spectral Simulations with a Compact Model Atom

description: Many large scale numerical simulations of astrophysical plasmas must also reproduce the hydrogen ionization and the resulting emission spectrum, in some cases quite accurately. We describe a compact model hydrogen atom that can be readily incorporated into such simulations. It reproduces the recombination efficiency and line spectrum predicted by much larger calculations for a very broad range of densities and temperatures. Uncertainties in hydrogen collision data are the largest source of differences between our compact atom and predictions of more extensive calculations, and underscore the need for accurate atomic data.

description: We show that the lowest-order QCD calculation in a simple model of elastic vector-meson production does reproduce correctly the ratios of cross sections for rho, phi and J/psi, both in photoproduction and in high-Q2 quasi-elastic scattering. The dependence of the slopes on the mass of the vector meson is reproduced as well. We examine the lower-energy data, and find that the energy dependence of the cross section does not depend on Q2, but may depend on the vector-meson mass.

description: Abstract: "This paper presents a method for evaluating multiple feature spaces while tracking, and for adjusting the set of features used to improve tracking performance. Our hypothesis is that the features that best discriminate between object and background are also best for tracking the object. We develop an on-line feature ranking mechanism based on the two-class variance ratio measure, applied to log likelihood values computed from empirical distributions of object and background pixels with respect to a given feature. This feature ranking mechanism is embedded in a tracking system that adaptively selects the top-ranked discriminative features for tracking. Examples are presented to illustrate how the method adapts to changing appearances of both tracked object and scene background."
title: ‘Influencing upwards’
title: a phenomenological study of “effective followership” in the UK HE sector
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Cunningham, Darren
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines the possible meanings of ‘effective’ and ‘ineffective’ followership, drawing on the growing interest and literature on this topic. The approach is to explore how ‘upward influence’ can be a possible determinant of ‘effective followership’ by focusing on the workings of such influence within leadership dynamics. The study presents a phenomenological inquiry into the lived experiences of upward influence amongst 18 Academic Leaders and 17 Administration Managers from 16 institutions in the UK higher education sector. The study seeks to develop a critical approach to analysing followership and the research findings. In so doing, it reveals the significance of meaning that is attached to the key themes of control, identity and influencing tactics in cases where upward influence appears to be effective or ineffective. What the findings show is that followers influence upwards to generate and cultivate social power. They learn to be tactical and frequently refine their capacity to influence upwards that emerges in one’s consciousness as a followership style. The leader becomes more encouraging and receptive to certain followership styles and established hard-edged dichotomies between leadership and followership begin to blur. The consequence is more autonomy to practice followership to achieve desired outcomes with a reduced risk of failure or punishment. Subsequently, effectiveness is managing the flow of upward influence, monitoring the effects, and learning how to have more impact, which all inform the adoption and switching of identities. This is reciprocally viewed as an obligation of leaders and followers to reposition themselves to sustain their mutual effectiveness within contextual parameters. Consequently, the experience of effective followership reveals a normative/moral essence that is inescapable.

description: Transverse energy, charged particle pseudorapidity distributions and photon transverse momentum spectra have been studied as a function of the number of participants (N_{part}) and the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions (N_{coll}) in 158 A GeV Pb+Pb collisions over a wide impact parameter range. A scaling of the transverse energy pseudorapidity density at midrapidity as N_{part}^{1.08 \pm 0.06} and N_{coll}^{0.83 \pm 0.05} is observed. For the charged particle pseudorapidity density at midrapidity we find a scaling as N_{part}^{1.07 \pm 0.04} and N_{coll}^{0.82 \pm 0.03}. This faster than linear scaling with N_{part} indicates a violation of the naive Wounded Nucleon Model.

Online Motion Estimation from Image and Inertial Measurements

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: 80101 Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics

description: We present two algorithms for estimating sensor motion from image and inertial measurements, which are suitable for use with inexpensive inertial sensors and in environments without known fiducials. The first algorithm is a batch method, which produces optimal estimates of the sensor motion, scene structure, and other parameters using measurements from the entire observation sequence simultaneously. The second algorithm recovers sensor motion, scene structure, and other parameters in an online manner, is suitable for use with long or “infinite” sequences, and handles sequences in which no feature is always visible. We also describe initial results from running each algorithm on a sequence for which ground truth is available. We show that while image measurements alone are not sufficient for accurate motion estimation from this sequence, both batch and online estimation from image and inertial measurements produce accurate estimates of the sensors’ motion.

These two books proffered for consideration for the degree of PhD by Published Works are widely different in scope, intent, intended readership and level of detail. Nonetheless they can be considered as a pair, dealing as they do with the stresses and tensions that have existed through the history of the church in Scotland and the effects that these stresses and tensions have had on the lives of the people. This essay presents the two books showing how they add significantly to the literature of Scottish Church history. In the one book this is by giving a modern, readable overview of the subject as a whole. The second book shows how events played out in one locality but adds materially to knowledge of an important period in the development of the church and nation.

description: This paper describes new deep 3.6 and 4.5 micron imaging of three UltraVISTA near-infrared survey stripes within the COSMOS field. The observations were carried out with Spitzer's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) for the Spitzer Matching Survey of the Ultra-VISTA Deep Stripes (SMUVS). In this work we present our data reduction techniques, and document the resulting mosaics, coverage maps, and catalogs in both IRAC passbands for the three easternmost UltraVISTA survey stripes, covering a combined area of about 0.66 square degrees, of which 0.45 square degrees have at least 20 hr integration time. SMUVS reaches point-source sensitivities of about 25.0 AB mag at both 3.6 and 4.5 microns with a significance of 4-sigma accounting for both survey sensitivity and source confusion. To this limit the SMUVS catalogs contain a total of about 350,000 sources, each of which is detected significantly in at least one IRAC band. Because of its uniform and high sensitivity, relatively large area coverage, and the wide array of ancillary data available in COSMOS, the SMUVS survey will be useful for a large number of cosmological investigations. We will make all images and catalogues described herein publicly available via the Spitzer Science Center.

The effect of hydraulic cements on the flexural behavior of wool reinforced mortars
Creators: name: Fantilli, A. P.
name: Jóźwiak-Niedźwiedzka, D.
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2019

description: It is known that natural wool is a good thermal insulating material, but recent results suggest another application: the use of wool as a fiber-reinforcement in mortars and concretes. Indeed, the mechanical properties of wool filaments are comparable to those of some synthetic polymeric fibers (e.g., made with polypropylene). However, wool can dissolve in alkaline environments and, therefore, the performances of reinforced cement-based matrixes cannot be guaranteed for a long time. Accordingly, three series of reinforced mortar beams have been made with low alkali, high alkali, and sulfoaluminate cements. To investigate the chemical compatibility, and the subsequent effects on the mechanical performances, the beams have been tested in three point bending. As a result, the lower the alkalinity of the cement paste, the better the post-cracking capability of wool fibers to arrest the growth of cracks.

description: High Energy collisions of nuclei usually lead to the emission of evaporation neutrons from both ``beam'' and ``target'' nuclei. At the RHIC heavy ion collider with 100GeV/u beam energy, evaporation neutrons diverge by less than $~2$ milliradians from the beam axis Neutral beam fragments can be detected downstream of RHIC ion collisions (and a large aperture Accelerator dipole magnet) if $θ\leq$ 4 mr but charged fragments in the same angular range are usually too close to the beam trajectory. In this 'zero degree' region produced particles and other secondaries deposit negligible energy when compared with that of beam fragmentation neutrons. The purpose of the RHIC zero degree calorimeters (ZDC's) is to detect neutrons emitted within this cone along both beam directions and measure their total energy (from which we calculate multiplicity). The ZDC coincidence of the 2 beam directions is a minimal bias selection of heavy ion collisions. This makes it useful as an event trigger and a luminosity monitor\cite{baltz} and for this reason we built identical detectors for all 4 RHIC experiments. The neutron multiplicity is also known to be correlated with event geometry \cite{appel} and will be used to measure collision centrality in mutual beam int eractions.

Electroweak production of two jets in association with a Z boson in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A measurement of the electroweak (EW) production of two jets in association with a Z boson in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV is presented, based on data recorded in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The measurement is performed in the $\ell\ell\mathrm{jj}$ final state with $\ell$ including electrons and muons, and the jets j corresponding to the quarks produced in the hard interaction. The measured cross section in a kinematic region defined by invariant masses $m_{\ell\ell} > $ 50 GeV, $m_{\mathrm{jj}} > $ 120 GeV, and transverse momenta $p_{\mathrm{T j}} > $ 25 GeV is $σ_\mathrm{EW}(\ell\ell\mathrm{jj})= $ 534 $\pm$ 20 (stat) $\pm$ 57 (syst) fb, in agreement with leading-order standard model predictions. The final state is also used to perform a search for anomalous trilinear gauge couplings. No evidence is found and limits on anomalous trilinear gauge couplings associated with dimension-six operators are given in the framework of an effective field theory. The corresponding 95% confidence level intervals are $-2.6 < c_{WWW}/Λ^2 < 2.6 $ TeV$^{-2}$ and $-8.4 < c_{W}/Λ^2 < 10.1 $ TeV$^{-2}$. The additional jet activity of events in a signal-enriched region is also studied, and the measurements are in agreement with predictions.

description: This paper proposes a gain switching algorithm for joint position control of a hydraulic humanoid robot. Accurate position control of the lower body is a one of the basic requirements for robust balance and walking control. In general, it is more difficult to perform joint position control of hydraulic humanoid robots than electric humanoid robots because of a slower actuator time constant and the backdrivability of hydraulic joints. Because of the backdrivability, external forces and torques have a large effect on the position of the joints, and external ground reaction forces prevent a simple PD joint controller from realizing accurate joint position control. We propose a state feedback controller for joint position control of the lower body, define three modes of state feedback gains, and switch the gains effectively according to the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) using linear interpolation. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with a dynamic simulation of a hydraulic humanoid.
title: The geochemistry of the Connemara gneiss complex, Co. Galway, Ireland
Creators: name: Keeling, Barry Edward
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1981

description: An area of about 100 sq.km. immediately north of the Galway granite has been studied. The area encompasses the central part of the Connemara Gneiss complex, a syntectonic suite of basic, intermediate and acidic intrusives and migmatised Dalradian sediments. 50 rock samples from the complex have been analysed by X-Ray fluorescence methods for all major elements and up to 13 trace elements (Cr, Co, Ni, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, La, Ce, Pb, Th). In addition, 41 of these rock samples have been analysed by neutron activation methods for up to 9 trace elements (La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Lu, Sc).These data together with microprobe analyses of 60 mineral grains from the samples,3re presented and used to deduce the petrogenesis of the Gneiss complex. The orthomagmatic rocks were intruded into the pelites, semipelites, and quartzites of the Dalradian Cashel Formation, during the period between the onset of the D2 deformation and the completion of the D3 deformation. The initial intrusions were basaltic in composition and they were intruded during D2 mainly as thick sheets and masses, which are conformable to the F2 foliation in the country rocks. These intrusions were then fragmented and, the rocks amphibolitised during the combined D3 deformation and M3 metamorphism. The cause of the M3 event was the intrusion of the intermediate magmas, which solidified to form the tonalitic orthogneisses. High degrees of partial melting occurred in the aureole zone of these intermediate magmas, forming the paragneiss. There is field evidence for large scale assimilation of paragneiss by the magma. The intrusion of small amounts of granitic magma, during the latter stages of D3, completed the magmatic phase.

description: The design of neural network architectures for a new data set is a laborious task which requires human deep learning expertise. In order to make deep learning available for a broader audience, automated methods for finding a neural network architecture are vital. Recently proposed methods can already achieve human expert level performances. However, these methods have run times of months or even years of GPU computing time, ignoring hardware constraints as faced by many researchers and companies. We propose the use of Monte Carlo planning in combination with two different UCT (upper confidence bound applied to trees) derivations to search for network architectures. We adapt the UCT algorithm to the needs of network architecture search by proposing two ways of sharing information between different branches of the search tree. In an empirical study we are able to demonstrate that this method is able to find competitive networks for MNIST, SVHN and CIFAR-10 in just a single GPU day. Extending the search time to five GPU days, we are able to outperform human architectures and our competitors which consider the same types of layers.

Feasibility of creating an EU database on working condition clauses in CBAs. The case of gender

description: In this report, we explore the feasibility of a European database of working conditions clauses in collective agreements in EU countries. Our proposal builds on the methodology developed by the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the WageIndicator Foundation to build an international database of collective agreements and in the BARCOM (VS/2016/0106) and COLBAR Europe (VS/2019/0077) projects to collect and code European collective agreements. It also builds on the CNAM-CEET CAGE project which has developed a research infrastructure in France to study the outcomes of negotiations on gender professional equality and employer behaviour. The idea is to combine structured information from an employer-level survey with coded information from a database of collective agreements and unstructured data from an archive recording the full content of the OCR processed texts of collective agreements. Such an infrastructure would allow better analysis of the bargaining process, bargaining outcomes and employer behaviour. Using the example of gender equality clauses, we demonstrate the feasibility of building such an infrastructure and the added value of using coded information and text mining methods for comparative analysis. Two European surveys, the ECS and ESES, can be combined with the database of collective agreements at individual and/or sectoral level. We explore how collective agreements at sector and company level should be collected to achieve some form of representativity.
(Anti)Proton and Pion Source Sizes and Phase Space Densities in Heavy Ion Collisions

description: NA44 has measured mid-rapidity deuteron spectra from AA collisions at sqrt{s}=18GeV/A at the CERN SPS. Combining these spectra with published proton, antiproton and antideuteron data allows us to calculate, within a coalescence framework, proton and antiproton source sizes and phase space densities. These results are compared to pion source sizes and densities, pA results and to lower energy (AGS) data. The antiproton source is larger than the proton source at sqrt{s}=18GeV/A. The phase space densities of pions and protons are not constant but grow with system size. Both pi+ and proton radii decrease with transverse mass and increase with sqrt{s}. Pions and protons do not freeze-out independently. The nature of their interaction changes as sqrt{s}, and the pion/proton ratio increases.
description: 4 pages, Latex 2.09, 3 eps figures. Changes for January 2001. The proton source size is now calculated assuming a more realistic Hulthen, rather than Gaussian, wavefunction. A new figure shows the effect of this change which is important for small radii. A second new figure shows the results of RQMD calculations of the proton source size and phase density. Because of correlations between position and momentum coalesence does not show the full proton source size. The paper has been streamlined and readability improved
The Galaxy Distribution: Homogeneous, Fractal, or Neither

description: From the standpoint of theoretical physics we can treat Newtonian cosmology as a problem in nonlinear dynamics. The attempt to average the density, in search of a method of making contact between theory and observation, is replaced by the more systematic idea of coarsegraining. I also explain in this context why two previous attempts at the construction of hierarchical models of the universe are not useful in data analysis. The main ideas behind two older competing data analyses purporting to show evidence from galaxy statistics for either a homogeneous and isotropic universe in one case, and for a mono-fractal universe in the other, are presented and discussed. I also present the method and results of a newer data analysis that shows that visible matter provides no evidence that would allow us to claim that the cosmological principle holds, or that the universe is fractal (or multifractal). In other words, observational data provides us with no evidence that the universe is either homogeneous and isotropic, or monofractal.

description: In teleoperation, the user's input is mapped onto the robot via a motion retargetting function. This function must differ between robots because of their different kinematics, between users because of their different preferences, and even between tasks that the users perform with the robot. Our work enables users to customize this retargetting function, and achieve any of these required differences. In our approach, the robot starts with an initial function. As the user teleoperates the robot, he can pause and provide example correspondences, which instantly update the retargetting function. We select the algorithm underlying these updates by formulating the problem as an instance of online function approximation. The problem's requirements, as well as the semantics and constraints of motion retargetting, lead to an extension of Online Learning with Kernel Machines in which the width of the kernel can vary. Our central hypothesis is that this method enables users to train retargetting functions to good outcomes. We validate this hypothesis in a user study, which also reveals the importance of providing users with tools to verify their examples: much like an actor needs a mirror to verify his pose, a user needs to verify his input before providing an example. We conclude with a demonstration from an expert user that shows the potential of the method for achieving more sophisticated customization that makes particular tasks easier to complete, once users get expertise with the system.

description: In PRL 116 (2016) no.6, 062001, the space of planar pentagon functions that describes all two-loop on-shell five-particle scattering amplitudes was introduced. In the present paper we present a natural extension of this space to non-planar pentagon functions. This provides the basis for our pentagon bootstrap program. We classify the relevant functions up to weight four, which is relevant for two-loop scattering amplitudes. We constrain the first entry of the symbol of the functions using information on branch cuts. Drawing on an analogy from the planar case, we introduce a conjectural second-entry condition on the symbol. We then show that the information on the function space, when complemented with some additional insights, can be used to efficiently bootstrap individual Feynman integrals. The extra information is read off of Mellin-Barnes representations of the integrals, either by evaluating simple asymptotic limits, or by taking discontinuities in the kinematic variables. We use this method to evaluate the symbols of two non-trivial non-planar five-particle integrals, up to and including the finite part.

description: We examine certain extensions of the standard model in which $CP$ violation is spontaneous and the strong $CP$ problem is resolved. In these models, the $3 \times 3$ quark mixing matrix is neither real nor unitary. However, to a precision of 0.1%, it is real and orthogonal. There are no readily observable $CP$-violating effects besides those in the neutral kaon system.

description: The "necklace process", a procedure constructing necklaces of black and white beads by randomly choosing positions to insert new beads (whose color is uniquely determined based on the chosen location), is revisited. This article illustrates how, after deriving the corresponding bivariate probability generating function, the characterization of the asymptotic limiting distribution of the number of beads of a given color follows as a straightforward consequence within the analytic combinatorics framework.

description: The incident energy at which the azimuthal distributions in semi-central heavy ion collisions change from in-plane to out-of-plane enhancement, E_tran, is studied as a function of mass of emitted particles, their transverse momentum and centrality for Au+Au collisions. The analysis is performed in a reference frame rotated with the sidewards flow angle, Theta_flow, relative to the beam axis. A systematic decrease of E_tran as function of mass of the reaction products, their transverse momentum and collision centrality is evidenced. The predictions of a microscopic transport model (IQMD) are compared with the experimental results.

description: Stereo visual odometry and dense scene reconstruction depend critically on accurate calibration of the extrinsic (relative) stereo camera poses. We present an algorithm for continuous, online stereo extrinsic re-calibration operating only on sparse stereo correspondences on a per-frame basis. We obtain the 5 degree of freedom extrinsic pose for each frame, with a fixed baseline, making it possible to model time-dependent variations. The initial extrinsic estimates are found by minimizing epipolar errors, and are refined via a Kalman Filter (KF). Observation covariances are derived from the Cramer-Rao lower bound of the solu- ´ tion uncertainty. The algorithm operates at frame rate with unoptimized Matlab code with over 1000 correspondences per frame. We validate its performance using a variety of real stereo datasets and simulations.

Online Bellman Residual and Temporal Difference Algorithms with Predictive Error Guarantees

description: We establish connections from optimizing Bellman Residual and Temporal Difference Loss to worstcase long-term predictive error. In the online learning framework, learning takes place over a sequence of trials with the goal of predicting a future discounted sum of rewards. Our first analysis shows that, together with a stability assumption, any no-regret online learning algorithm that minimizes Bellman error ensures small prediction error. Our second analysis shows that applying the family of online mirror descent algorithms on temporal difference loss also ensures small prediction error. No statistical assumptions are made on the sequence of observations, which could be nonMarkovian or even adversarial. Our approach thus establishes a broad new family of provably sound algorithms and provides a generalization of previous worst-case results for minimizing predictive error. We investigate the potential advantages of some of this family both theoretically and empirically on benchmark problems.
