description: We present deep Gemini GMOS optical spectroscopy of nine luminous quasars at redshifts z ~ 0.5, drawn from the SDSS type 2 quasar sample. Our targets were selected to have high intrinsic luminosities (M_V < -26 mag) as indicated by the [O III] 5007 A emission-line luminosity (L_[O III]). Our sample has a median black hole mass of ~ 10^8.8 M_sun inferred assuming the local M_BH-sigma_* relation and a median Eddington ratio of ~ 0.7, using stellar velocity dispersions sigma_* measured from the G band. We estimate the contamination of the stellar continuum from scattered quasar light based on the strength of broad H-beta, and provide an empirical calibration of the contamination as a function of L_[O III]; the scattered light fraction is ~ 30% of L_5100 for objects with L_[O III] = 10^9.5 L_sun. Population synthesis indicates that young post-starburst populations (< 0.1 Gyr) are prevalent in luminous type 2 quasars, in addition to a relatively old population (> 1 Gyr) which dominates the stellar mass. Broad emission complexes around He II 4686 A with luminosities up to 10^8.3 L_sun are unambiguously detected in three out of the nine targets, indicative of Wolf-Rayet populations. Population synthesis shows that ~ 5-Myr post-starburst populations contribute substantially to the luminosities (> 50% of L_5100) of all three objects with Wolf-Rayet detections. We find two objects with double cores and four with close companions. Our results may suggest that luminous type 2 quasars trace an early stage of galaxy interaction, perhaps responsible for both the quasar and the starburst activity.

description: One of the difficulties in calculating the capacity of certain Poisson channels is that H(lambda), the entropy of the Poisson distribution with mean lambda, is not available in a simple form. In this work we derive upper and lower bounds for H(lambda) that are asymptotically tight and easy to compute. The derivation of such bounds involves only simple probabilistic and analytic tools. This complements the asymptotic expansions of Knessl (1998), Jacquet and Szpankowski (1999), and Flajolet (1999). The same method yields tight bounds on the relative entropy D(n, p) between a binomial and a Poisson, thus refining the work of Harremoes and Ruzankin (2004). Bounds on the entropy of the binomial also follow easily.

description: Synaptic clustering can serve as a computational unit for the distribution of synaptic resources across dendritic segments. In this study, we investigate whether inhibitory synapses influence the frequency or size of excitatory synapses (whether spine or shaft synapses) in a cluster, and whether the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) affects this relationship in the stratum radiatum of the CA1 of adult rat hippocampus. We induced LTP through theta-burst stimulation (TBS) in one of two stimulating electrodes through test pulses, while the second stimulating electrode was given test pulses without TBS. We identified symmetric, presumably inhibitory synapses by their equally thin presynaptic and postsynaptic densities, as well as by the pleiomorphic vesicles in the associated axonal bouton. Synaptic clusters were delineated by surrounding asynaptic regions of at least 120 nm. Our preliminary analyses includes 84 clusters and 5 clusters in the LTP and control conditions, respectively. Our preliminary findings show that there are fewer clusters with symmetric synapses two hours post-LTP, and that the surface areas of their symmetric synapses are larger. On one hand, clusters with symmetric synapses had lower asymmetric spine densities than those without. On the other hand, asymmetric synapse densities were consistent between LTP and control if a symmetric synapse is present. These findings suggest that symmetric synapses influences the local spines and synapses in their cluster, and thus serves as an additional layer of analysis in treating synaptic clusters as a computational unit.

description: We study an asymmetric in field magnetoresistance that is frequently observed in magnetic films and, in particular, the odd longitudinal voltage peaks that appear during magnetization reversal in ferromagnetic films, with out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy. We argue that the anomalous signals result from small variation of magnetization and Hall resistivity along the sample. Experimental data can be well described by a simple circuit model, the latter being supported by analytic and numerical calculations of current and electric field distribution in films with a gradual variation of the magnetization and Hall resistance.

description: Selvkørende - og i særdeleshed forbundne - køretøjer varsler et infrastrukturelt paradigmeskift. Alt tyder på, at det vil få omfattende konsekvenser for både vores transportbehov og vores måde at udnytte infrastrukturen på. Det har været et langt tilløb, men vi er nu nået det punkt, hvor teknologien er modnet, og det, vi længe anså som fremtiden, er lige rundt om hjørnet. Fokus har indtil nu ligget meget på selve teknologien, men i nærværende projekt vil vi som trafik- og byplanlæggere gerne rette opmærksomheden mod de konsekvenser og muligheder, teknologien forventeligt har for vores infrastruktur og byrum. Trafik- og byplanlæggere skal være gearet til at kunne håndtere udformningen af fremtidens infrastruktur og byrum, både i en transitionsfase, hvor selvkørende køretøjer udgør en andel af den samlede transportpakke; og i en slutfase, hvor al transport afvikles førerløs og forbundet. Herved optimeres brug af infrastrukturen, og der frigives overflødige arealer til andre formål. Det er her, samspillet mellem trafik- og byplanlæggere når et stort potentiale – ny anvendelse af p-arealer/huse, nye muligheder for skybrudssikring, nye muligheder for transportknudepunkter etc. Projektets formål er at vise, hvordan vores byer – eksemplificeret ved Storkøbenhavn - kan se ud, hvis vi formår at udnytte den teknologiske udvikling inden mobilitet og deletjenester. I et planlægningsperspektiv ønsker vi at lave et pro-aktivt projekt, der i stedet for at tilpasse sig den teknologiske udvikling, forsøger at vise hvordan vi vil indrette vores omgivelser ved hjælp af teknologisk udvikling. Projektet handler om at skabe viden og erfaringer gennem planlægning og pilotprojekter. Som planlæggere skal vi lave robuste rammeværk for fremtidens udvikling, hvor vi traditionelt planlægger i 25-75 års perspektiver afhængig af projekter og skala. Her er det helt tydeligt, at der mangler viden om fremtidens mobilitet, og det ikke tænkes med i dagens planlægning. For at synliggøre og formidle den førerløse teknologis potentialer og faldgruber har vi formuleret et udviklingsprojekt, hvor Storkøbenhavn er den geografiske ramme. København er en oplagt case, fordi byen allerede har en international opmærksomhed i form af sin cykelkultur og urbane livskvalitet. Udviklingsprojektet er udført efter scenariemetoden, hvor andelen af selvkørende biler i kombination med deletjenester i de enkelte scenarier, påvirker trafikmønstrene. Der fokuseres på de afledte trafikale konsekvenser, simuleret i VISSIM; ligesom (de positive) konsekvenser for byrum præsenteres.

description: In virtual reality, it is widely assumed that increased realism in hand-object interactions enhances user immersion and overall experience. However, recent studies challenge this assumption, suggesting that faithfully replicating real-world physics and visuals is not always necessary for improved usability or immersion. This has led to ambiguity for developers when choosing optimal hand interaction methods for different applications. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive research to resolve this issue. This study aims to fill this gap by evaluating three contemporary VR hand interaction methods-Attachment, Penetration, and Torque-across two distinct task scenarios: simple manipulation tasks and more complex, precision-driven tasks. By examining key technical features, we identify the strengths and limitations of each method and propose development guidelines for future advancements. Our findings reveal that while Attachment, with its simplified control mechanisms, is well-suited for commercial applications, Penetration and Torque show promise for next-generation interactions. The insights gained from our study provide practical guidance for developers and researchers seeking to balance realism, usability, and user satisfaction in VR environments.

Stochastic reconstruction of protein structures from effective connectivity profiles

Year: 2009

description: We discuss a stochastic approach for reconstructing the native structures of proteins from the knowledge of the "effective connectivity", which is a one-dimensional structural profile constructed as a linear combination of the eigenvectors of the contact map of the target structure. The structural profile is used to bias a search of the conformational space towards the target structure in a Monte Carlo scheme operating on a C_alpha-chain of uniform, finite thickness. Structure information thus enters the folding dynamics via the effective connectivity, but the interaction is not restricted to pairs of amino acids that form native contacts, resulting in a free energy landscape which does not rely on the assumption of minimal frustration. Moreover, effective connectivity vectors can be predicted more readily from the amino acid sequence of proteins than the corresponding contact maps, thus suggesting that the stochastic protocol presented here could be effectively combined with other current methods for predicting native structures.

CHIANTI - An atomic database for emission lines. XI. EUV emission lines of Fe VII, Fe VIII and Fe IX observed by Hinode/EIS

description: A detailed study of emission lines from Fe VII, Fe VIII and Fe IX observed by the EUV Imaging Spectrometer on board the Hinode satellite is presented. Spectra in the ranges 170-212 A and 246-292 A show strongly enhanced lines from the upper solar transition region (temperatures 5.4 <= log T <= 5.9) allowing a number of new line identifications to be made. Comparisons of Fe VII lines with predictions from a new atomic model reveal new plasma diagnostics, however there are a number of disagreements between theory and observation for emission line ratios insensitive to density and temperature, suggesting improved atomic data are required. Line ratios for Fe VIII also show discrepancies with theory, with the strong 185.21 and 186.60 lines under-estimated by 60-80 % compared to lines between 192 and 198 A. A newly-identified multiplet between 253.9 and 255.8 A offers excellent temperature diagnostic opportunities relative to the lines between 185-198 A, however the atomic model under-estimates the strength of these lines by factors 3-6. Two new line identifications are made for Fe IX at wavelengths 176.959 A and 177.594 A, while seven other lines between 186 and 200 A are suggested to be due to Fe IX but for which transition identifications can not be made. The new atomic data for Fe VII and Fe IX are demonstrated to significantly modify models for the response function of the TRACE 195 A imaging channel, affecting temperature determinations from this channel. The data will also affect the response functions for other solar EUV imaging instruments such as SOHO/EIT, STEREO/EUVI and the upcoming AIA instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory.

description: I vinteren 2015-2016 igangsatte Metroselskabet og Hovedstadens Letbane et udviklingsprojekt med det formål at udarbejde et generisk bystrategisk værktøj, der skulle anvendes i de tidlige faser af nye baneprojekter i byområder. På lang sigt var ambitionen med værktøjet, at en bystrategisk kortlægning af kommende stationsnære byområder kunne supplere indholdet i screeninger og udredninger parallelt med f.eks. beregningsmetoden for passagerprognoser og den samfundsøkonomiske analyse. Den bystrategiske kortlægning er en kort præsentation, hovedsageligt i tal og grafik, af de forskellige byområder, som de foreslåede metro- og letbanelinjeføringer går gennem. Målet er at give et overblik over karakteristika ved byområderne, der er relevante for de bystrategiske overvejelser, når der vælges linjeføring. Artiklen og oplægget bygger på den bystrategiske kortlægning, som er gennemført i forbindelse med en udvidet screening af Letbane fra Nørrebro Station til Ring 3 via Frederikssundsvej. Her blev der udover den kvantitative del med tal og grafik også udarbejdet en mere kvalitativ kortlægning, hvor letbanelinjeføringers bymæssige påvirkning blev beskrevet. Denne kortlægning blev udarbejdet i samarbejde med Urban Creators Aps og Niels Bjørn fra Bureauet Niels Bjørn. Derudover har repræsentanter fra de involverede kommuner bidraget med input. Formålet var at se de mulige linjeføringer i sammenhæng med de planer og projekter som allerede findes for bykvartererne langs banen.

Erfaringsopsamlingen peger på en række opmærksomhedspunkter, der kan være at interesse for bl.a. danske forsøgsaktiviteter. Opmærksomhedspunkterne er bl.a. den uformelle karakter af samspillet mellem motorkøretøjer som det er vanskeligt at overføre til automatiske køretøjer, et behov for kommunikation mellem trafikanter – herunder kommunikation fra automatiske køretøjer til andre, en stor og ofte overdreven tillid til automatiske køretøjer, behov for gradvis tilvænning til samspillet med nye trafiktyper, samt at forsøg generelt har været planlagt med lave hastigheder og stor sikkerhed i fokus.

 Kurtus gulliveri Castelnau 1878a: 233 (type locality, freshwater pond near the Norman River). Castelnau (1878a) described Kurtus gulliveri from an unspecified number of specimens collected by T.A. Gulliver from a freshwater pond near the Norman River. He noted that the largest specimens are “a little over 4 inches long.” Le Danois (1963) noted that there are four syntypes in the MNHN, and an additional syntype is listed in the AMS (Eschmeyer et al. 2018). Ramsay & Ogilby (1886) also mentioned the AMS specimen in their redescription of the species, but gave the registration number as AMS B.9208 (vs B. 9209 in Eschmeyer et al. 2018). No MAMU types are listed by Stanbury (1969), or by any other authors. A single 67.5 mm SL (ca 81+ mm TL) specimen is in the collection (MAMU F.394). The old, external label for the specimen says “ KURTUS GULLIVERI, Casteln. NORMAN RIVER”, which is repeated on a card inside the jar. The index card for the specimen says “ Kurtus gulliveri, Castl. […] 1 sp. 3½″ Norman River”. We regard this specimen as an additional syntype of Kurtus gulliveri.

description: Through a pilot project of a real solution for Mobility as a Service (MaaS), municipalities in Business Region Aarhus want to investigate the possibility for creating a more efficient mobility system by integrating public and private mobility services. This calls for a setup that includes both mobility providers, data platform owners, service providers and the travellers. The project demonstrates a new way of organising the mobility system in the region. The demonstration project will combine public transport solutions with private peer-to-peer ridesharing in an integrated solution in a real-life environment. The mobility solution will be based on the principles of MaaS. The main goal of the project is to demonstrate a new way of organising mobility on the foundation of a sound and sustainable business case.

description: In my first year of studio practice as a Master of Pine Arts candidate I attempted to come to terms with the limitations of painting as I saw it at that time, having been dogged by the disturbing notion I was on a painting \treadmill\" and not being prepared to settle for the constant rearrangement of selected images within the formal boundaries of the canvas which has persistently remained remorselessly flat. I will not discuss the semantics of where does painting stop and sculpture begin but rather how difficult it has been to move away from the canvas lured by the fascination of a multitude of methods and materials and an energy requiring some satisfaction with this confrontation. With hindsight at the end of the second year I can see how timid my first steps were: to move \"into the round off into space\". Daunted by the task and not having my brush to support me. I make no apologies for my fascination fat techniques methods or materials and how wonderful it was to avail myself of the splendid printmaking facilities plastics workshop and the exhilaration of being able to \"draw\" a huon-pine hand or foot with a band-saw. Since the writing of my original course proposal (Sept. 1982) my concerns for a view of Australian life have not changed but the issues have certainly altered. My desire to express a consciousness affected by disturbing private experiences and at the same time public experiences felt as personal still remains the positive force in my art making process. The discovery of a sense of play or chance resulting in a less self-conscious approach (as is evident in more formal application of ideas or assertion of methods) has no doubt transposed the restrictive attitudes allied to such procedures as mould making for example. I foresee an extension of this attitude towards my work and a more satisfying result to be achieved with composite assemblage and colour where the risk factor is greater. Midnight wrestling contests with theoretical issues have been personally rewarding. Firstly through a study of the \"Australian Ethos\" underpinning my image making. Secondly a study of more universal theoretical concepts underlying our social constructs. It has been a most interesting and stimulating journey of discovery from Henry Lawson Banjo Paterson and the Queensland bush through to Freud Marcuse Adorno and the infamous studio conditions of the Jones & Co. building. I look to the future with anticipation and a desire for more humour knowing I have benefited immensely from this two year experience."
Mobility as a Service - an open ecosystem?

Year: 2018

description: Can we get public transit and private shared mobility providers to deliver multimodal shared mobility services within months rather than year simply by using MaaS. The technology is there but the major obstacles are governance and will power. Is the only solution the Finnish model: Open MaaS by lawmaking - the stick? – or is there a carrot way too? The incumbent mobility suppliers are used to “own” their customers and does not necessarily see the benefits of having an extra part (The MaaS agent) in the value chain between them and “their” customers. The necessity for the shared mobility actors to come together to present a compelling alternative to the private car is presented and discussed. To create a level playing field for a shared mobility ecosystem including MaaS, a set of rules of engagement or charter is needed. An example is introduced as the carrot method or MaaS as common business sense.

La terminologie pastorale en languedocien : étude dialectologique et sémantique
Creators: name: Mills, Geoffrey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is concerned with the presentation, a dialectological study and a semantic analysis, of modern Occitan vocabulary related to sheep-raising. The corpus was obtained by means of a questionnaire used in interviews with dialect-speaking shepherds or rural inhabitants familiar with sheep-raising practices. A major problem during the gathering of the data was finding informants who were native to the localities chosen in southeastern Languedoc. The area covered by the enquetes is roughly rectangular, extending from Mende in the north to the Mediterranean in the south, the river Vidourle in the east to within a few kms, of Albi in the west. The departements of the Herault, Aude, Tarn, Gard, Aveyron and Lozere fall either fully or partially within this zone. The dialectological study consists of a discussion of the influences of natural barriers on the distribution of certain lexical items within the zone and the possible effects of the transhumance on word movement. A set of 58 maps, relegated to the appendix, serves to illustrate patterns of distribution, which in most cases, coincide with those found in the dialectological studies of Mr. Louis Michel(La langue des pecheurs du Golfe du Lyon). The semantic analysis is in two parts: the first section attempts to characterise (g)ccitan vocabulary in contrast to the vocabulary of standard French, using traditional methods of analysis as illustrated by Mr. Stephen Ullmann (Precis de semantique franqaise); the second section is an examination of certain modern theories of semantics, notably Mr. John Lyons* theory of semantic relations, and the theory of componential analysis as originally explained by Messrs. Katz and Fodor. Both theories appeared to be inadequate in describing the structure of the vocabulary of a natural language such as Occitan. The final section of the thesis consists of a complete glossary with cross-references to the corpus. The main points of interest of this synchronic study are the presentation of many lexical items not found in the Occitan dictionaries, which will supplement present work on linguistic atlases in the zone studied, and the rather negative but none-the-less useful conclusions of the semantic analysis, which will make a contribution to general semantic theory.

description: Advanced traveler Information systems (ATIS) have the potential to improve travel experience, enhance personal mobility and productivity, since they allow travelers to make better informed travel decisions. However, understanding the motivators underlying individuals’ intentions to use the system is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of this solution for promoting sustainable travel trends. The aim of this paper is to find the drivers that influence decisions in using such systems on an individual level. Perceived values developed by using the new system, technophile and community resilience constructs are incorporated in the framework in order to better explain user-sided heterogeneity observed in individual behavior. The case-study focuses on a new ATIS in Copenhagen. It questions 822 Danish citizens by distributing a technology-use preference survey. Structural equation models revealed that the drivers are specific to individual users and depends on wide ranging factors that go above traditional economic and socio-demographic methods. The results show a) different value dimensions perceived by individuals for the new information system and different effects on its adoption b) a relation between different community resilience constructs and value dimensions c) a stronger appeal of using the system to individuals who are technophile and value the usefulness of the new information system to increase trip efficiency.

description: Although there is an international obligation to reduce GHG from the transport sector by 2030, it appears that emissions, especially from heavy transport, continue to increase. In a project financed by NORDEN (Nordic Council of Ministers), measures for CO2-emissions from freight transport in the Nordic region, with emphasis on road transport, will be reviewed. The Nordic countries have quite a variety of freight transport patterns, linked to the different business structure, geographic conditions and infrastructure. Therefore, different use of instruments in this area can have different impacts. Emphasis will therefore be placed on a comparative analysis of means in the Nordic countries for reducing emissions from road transport and transfer of freight from road to rail and sea (modal shift). This analysis will cover the full range of instruments: economic (as fees), technical (as emission standards) and other means to stimulate technological development that reduces CO2-emissions per tonne km, as well as transport and land planning. The project will start in March 2018 and should be finished in August. Therefore, the results are not available yet, but will be presented as a new analysis at the conference.

description: The New Muon $(g-2)$ Collaboration at Fermilab has proposed to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_μ$, a factor of four better than was done in E821 at the Brookhaven AGS, which obtained $a_μ= [116 592 089 (63)] \times 10^{-11}$ $\pm 0.54$ ppm. The last digit of $a_μ$ is changed from the published value owing to a new value of the ratio of the muon-to-proton magnetic moment that has become available. At present there appears to be a difference between the Standard-Model value and the measured value, at the $\simeq 3$ standard deviation level when electron-positron annihilation data are used to determine the lowest-order hadronic piece of the Standard Model contribution. The improved experiment, along with further advances in the determination of the hadronic contribution, should clarify this difference. Because of its ability to constrain the interpretation of discoveries made at the LHC, the improved measurement will be of significant value, whatever discoveries may come from the LHC.

description: Woodall and Montgomery [35] in a discussion paper, state that multivariate process control is one of the most rapidly developing sections of statistical process control. Nowadays, in industry, there are many situations in which the simultaneous monitoring or control, of two or more related quality - process characteristics is necessary. Process monitoring problems in which several related variables are of interest are collectively known as Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC).This article has three parts. In the first part, we discuss in brief the basic procedures for the implementation of multivariate statistical process control via control charting. In the second part we present the most useful procedures for interpreting the out-of-control variable when a control charting procedure gives an out-of-control signal in a multivariate process. Finally, in the third part, we present applications of multivariate statistical process control in the area of industrial process control, informatics, and business.
title: Untersuchungen zum Optimierungspotential von Erwärmzeit und Eigenschaftsprofil von Stählen im Presshärteprozess

description: Der Austenitisierungsvorgang ist bei klassischer Ofenerwärmung ein zeit- und energieintensiver Prozessschritt der Fertigungsroute des Presshärtens und dient zur Einstellung eines härtbaren Ausgangsgefüges, welches bei geeigneter Abkühlung in martensitisches Gefüge umwandelt. Ein möglichst homogener und feinkörniger Austenit wirkt sich positiv auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften des resultierenden Martensits aus. Konventionell bilden Zeit-Temperatur-Austenitisierungsdiagramme oder Erfahrungswerte die Grundlage zur Ermittlung von Austenitisierungstemperatur und –zeit. In dieser Arbeit wird eine Methodik entwickelt, um die passende Austenitisierungszeit zur Erzielung günstiger mechanischer Werkstoffeigenschaften bei prozesstypischer Erwärmungs- und Abkühlstrategie zu berechnen. Die Anwendbarkeit auf niedrig- und hochlegierte Stähle wird untersucht. Als Versuchswerkstoff dient neben dem Standardwerkstoff 22MnB5 die Stahlgüte X15Cr13 mit dem Ziel, einen korrosionsbeständigen Alternativwerkstoff mit überlegenen mechanischen Eigenschaften für den Presshärteprozess zu qualifizieren. Der Austenitisierungszustand wird in Abhängigkeit des Reaktionsfortschritts auf Basis des Hollomon-Jaffe Parameters beschrieben. Die dazu nötigen Werkstoffkennwerte der Stähle 22MnB5 und X15Cr13 werden aus Austenitisierungsversuchen im Dilatometer für isotherme Temperaturführung bestimmt und anhand eines prozessnahen Aufheizverlaufs validiert. Messungen von Härte und Martensitstarttemperatur der abgeschreckten Proben geben dabei Aufschluss über den Austenitisierungszustand. Zur Bestimmung der mechanischen Eigenschaften in Abhängigkeit des Wärmebehandlungszustands in Zugversuchen werden Kleinzugproben entwickelt, welche sich sowohl zur gezielten Wärmebehandlung im Dilatometer als auch zur Zugprüfung mit optischer Dehnungsmessung eignen. Die Ergebnisse der isothermen Austenitisierungsversuche lassen sich mit dem gewählten Ansatz gut abbilden. Auf Basis der ermittelten Parameter kann eine gute Näherung der berechneten, an die empirisch ermittelten und validierten erforderlichen Austenitisierungszeiten erzielt werden. Die mechanischen Kennwerte des X15Cr13 zu Festigkeit und Verformbarkeit erweisen sich unter Verwendung optimierter Wärmebehandlungsparameter als deutlich vorteilhaft gegenüber denen des 22MnB5. Das beispielhaft aufgezeigte werkstoffliche Optimierungspotential leistet einen Beitrag zur Erschließung eines breiteren Spektrums an Werkstoffen für das Presshärten im Kontext stetig steigender technischer, technologischer und wirtschaftlicher Anforderungen an Karosseriestrukturbauteile.
Systems applications and Tasmanian special education

description: The education of disabled children in Tasmania, as in many other places, is characterized by a lack of co-ordination, ad hoe decision making and reactiveness. These dysfunctions could be remedied if there were, among teachers and administrators, a general orientation to the application of systems concepts. This orientation is nothing more than a particular way of thinking about problems and finding solutions to them. The systems approach permits decision makers to examine, analyse and plan solutions for problems found in the field of special education. The first chapter of this paper is a description of the development and structure of special education provisions in Tasmania. The history is largely responsible for the present unco-ordinated situation which is so much in need of a more rational approach. The paper then proceeds to a discussion of the nature of systems. A system can be thought of as a set of objects and the relationships among them, all operating together for the benefit of the whole. Within each system is a number of sub-systems while each system is itself a sub-system of a bigger and more complex system. The parts of a system and its dimensions (closed/open, static/dynamic) are discussed along with a brief mention of models of systems. There are various types of systems, each being able to fulfull a certain purpose or meet a particular goal. They range in complexity from simple taxonomies, through hierarchies, transformation operations and branching systems to the concept of the feedback loop and reflect, in order, an increasing capacity to promote understanding of the real world of people. For a systems approach to be taken in special education, there are underlying assumptions which need to be identified and problem solving implications of which a practitioner needs to be aware. Some of these are discussed in Chapter III, along with some dysfunctions which Wolfensburger regards as typically present in those special education provisions which lack a systems approach. Having used illustrations mainly from his own experience in Tasmania to suggest that special education would benefit from a greater orientation to systems, the writer describes five applications of systems approaches in Australia and the U.S. Some of these applications are already functioning while others are blueprints easily transferred to the real world. They include a system of principles, a decision making model and the development of curricula. Chapter V is a description of two specific management techniques using systems concepts (PPBS and PERT) and thoughts on how they were used/could have been used/could be used to improve the management of special education in this state. The writer's conclusion is that, despite some excellent field work in Tasmania, the education of disabled children is marred by a lack of cohesion and a lack of planning. This situation could be changed by the adoption of systems concepts. Some very reoent developments give cause to hope that this is happening.

description: This paper introduces TaxoMatic, a framework that leverages large language models to automate definition extraction from academic literature. Focusing on the media bias domain, the framework encompasses data collection, LLM-based relevance classification, and extraction of conceptual definitions. Evaluated on a dataset of 2,398 manually rated articles, the study demonstrates the frameworks effectiveness, with Claude-3-sonnet achieving the best results in both relevance classification and definition extraction. Future directions include expanding datasets and applying TaxoMatic to additional domains.

Numerical experiments of rogue waves with Benney-Luke equations
Creators: name: Choi, Junho
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: # User instructions Program that solves the Benney-Luke equations (BLE) on a 2D periodic domain using the Stormer-Verlet scheme. The simulation tracks the evolution of two or three line solitons as they interact, to produce a four or eight times higher splash than the initial height of each soliton. For more information, please refer to the paper "Numerical experiments on extreme waves through oblique-soliton interactions", written by J. Choi, O. Bokhove, A. Kalogirou, and M. A. Kelmanson. ## FILES The code consists of five files: - `BL_periodic.py` is the main file that solves BLE; - `initial_data.py` defines the initial conditions eta_0(x,y), and Phi_0(x,y); - `boundary_point.py` computes points to design a computational domain; - `call_energy.py` and `call_maximum.py` are used for plotting the evolution of energy and maximum, respectively. After the computation is finished, four sets of data are produced: - solutions eta and Phi in "*data/output.pvd*"; - evolution of energy against time in "*data/energy.csv*"; - evolution of maximum of eta against time in "*data/max.csv*"; - time in "*data/time.csv*". The computational data can be visualised as follows: - Solutions eta and Phi are pvd files that can be read with Paraview. - Time evolution of energy can be plotted by running file `call_energy.py`. - Time evolution of maximum of eta can be plotted by running file `call_maximum.py`. ## USAGE There are three ***Switches*** in `BL_periodic.py` which the user can modify: - soliton number: SP2 or SP3, corresponding to simulations of two- or three-soliton interations; - domain type: single or both, corresponding to singly (x-direction) or doubly (x- and y-directions) periodic domain; - basis type: 1, 2 or 3, corresponding to continuous Galerkin basis of the respective order. To obtain the results and figures in the paper, the ***Switches*** should be chosen as follows: Figure | soliton number | domain type | basis type --- | --- | --- | --- 8 | SP3 | single and both | CG2 9-11 | SP2 | single | CG1, CG2, and CG3 12-15 | SP3 | single | CG1, CG2, and CG3 To modify the initial condition, the user can change the values of the variables in sections ***Parameters***, and ***Parameters for k_i*** in `BL_periodic.py`.
