Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A scoping review of the robotic surgery literature of the last 22 years was performed to characterize the state of robotic surgery curricula and identify targets for further curriculum development efforts. Curricula were analyzed utilizing two conceptual frameworks, Kern’s six steps for curriculum development and the Kirkpatrick model. Learner specialty and training level was also captured. The number of published robotic surgery curricula has grown nearly exponentially. Despite this, however, very few described the comprehensive use of Kern’s six steps. Additionally, most curricula focused on non-clinical learner outcomes such as satisfaction surveys or simulated skill development. Overall, this study highlights the need for a concerted effort to develop high-quality robotic surgery curricula that focus on impact in clinical settings. We hope this will serve as a “call to arms” for national surgical education and robotic societies to work in a collaborative manner in the development of standardized robotic training programs.

REUSABLE LAUNCH VEHICLES

description: Reusability in the launcher sector has been studied for quite a long time in Europe and is still on going, for instance, CALLISTO and THEMIS are two of the main European projects. Today, players from the so-called NewSpace sector demonstrate rocket boosters recovery and reusability on a regular basis. The established rocketry industry is being challenged by new space actors and emerging space nations. In this climate of intensifying competition, there is a growing sense of urgency in Europe, materialized by numerous new companies and projects. The French Space Agency (CNES) is one of the stakeholders in Europe for future launchers preparation, along with ESA, other national agencies and industry. To catch up as quickly as possible, CNES promotes several initiatives at different scales, whether it be with students, academics, SMEs or big players, aiming at fostering key competencies for reusability in Europe. As a matter of fact, among the required technologies for reusable rockets, GNC and avionics for landing is deemed to be one of the most challenging ones. This shouldnt be studied only by simulation, but also with tests on demonstrators. Among these studies, the FROG vehicles family corresponds to the early sandbox approach. They are a small and low-cost flying vehicles developed as a testbed platform for guidance, navigation, control algorithms and avionics used by CNES and students in order to test various landing algorithms and approaches. This platform is developed by a multidisciplinary team from a non-profit organisation (Planete Sciences), and a start-up (Polyvionics) with the funding and the technical support of CNES, in collaboration also with academics (Innov Lab at the Cachan Institute of Technology) and Arianeworks. After successful free flight campaigns of previous FROG generations (FROG-T and Pi-FROG/FROGE), a new generation of vehicle is under development with new partners: the European Space Agency (ESA) and Lukasiewicz Research Network Institute of Aviation (Poland). This new generation of vehicle named FROG-H, is based on a monopropellant hydrogen peroxide catalyst engine developed by Lukasiewicz - ILOT. In this paper, we will first quickly present the project status including some results of the free flight campaigns and a FROG-H introduction, including new propulsion system design as well as the projects roadmap. Then we will delve into the GNC studies and the propulsion system simulation results linked to the monopropellant catalyst HTP engine. Promising hot-fire test results of the new, long-endurance catalyst, developed by Lukasiewicz-ILOT, will be presented. This sub-scale tested catalyst is applicable to the full-scale FROG-H engine.

description: This paper is devoted to Maxwell modes in three-dimensional bounded electromagnetic cavities that have the form of a product of lower dimensional domains in some system of coordinates. The boundary conditions are those of the perfectly conducting or perfectly insulating body. The main case of interest is products in Cartesian variables. Cylindrical and spherical variables are also addressed. We exhibit common structures of polarization type for eigenmodes. In the Cartesian case, the cavity eigenvalues can be obtained as sums of Dirich-let or Neumann eigenvalues of positive Laplace operators and the corresponding eigenvectors have a tensor product form. We compare these descriptions with the spherical wave function Ansatz for a ball and show why the cavity eigenvalue of the ball are also Dirichlet or Neumann eigenvalues of some scalar operators. As application of our general formulas, we find explicit eigenpairs in a cuboid, in a circular cylinder, and in a cylinder with a coaxial circular hole. This latter example exhibit interesting '' TEM '' eigenmodes that have a one-dimensional vibrating string structure, and contribute to the least energy modes if the cylinder is long enough.

description: The relationship between zooplankton community structure and selected environmental conditions was investigated by simultaneous two-day consecutive sampling in the waters overlying Coral and sand sites off Sibu Island and a Seagrass site off Tinggi Island, Johor, Malaysia. A total of 129 taxa were identified, 60 non-Copepod taxa and 69 Copepod species in all samples. Uni- and multi-variate analyses reveal distinct Coral, sand, Seagrass Copepod assemblages with indicator Copepod species and attributes of their size fractions. Small fraction (100–335 µm) samples contained greatest number of individuals, few rare species and were densest at onshore depths, and the opposite for large fraction (>335 µm) samples but were densest at nighttime and most species rich in the Coral site at night. Higher species diversity at offshore stations is due likely to ecotonal effects of overlapping oceanic and nearshore communities. This study demonstrates the usefulness of uni- and multi-variate analyses in identifying patterns in Zooplankton community structure in representative shallow tropical habitats, and the need for accurate Zooplankton taxonomy, nighttime and daytime and onshore and offshore sampling, and size fractionation of samples.

description: The project Galactic Cold Cores has made Herschel observations of interstellar clouds where the Planck satellite survey has located cold and compact clumps. The sources range from starless clumps to protostellar cores. We examine 116 Herschel fields to estimate the submillimetre dust opacity and its variations. The submillimetre dust opacity was derived from Herschel data, and near-infrared observations of the reddening of background stars are converted into near-infrared optical depth. We studied the systematic errors affecting these parameters and used modelling to correct for the expected biases. The ratio of 250um and J band opacities is correlated with the cloud location and star formation activity. We find a median ratio of tau(250um)/tau(J)= (1.6+-0.2)*10^-3, which is more than three times the mean value in diffuse medium. Assuming a spectral index beta=1.8 instead of beta=2.0, the value would be lower by ~30%. No significant systematic variation is detected with Galactocentric distance or with Galactic height. The tau(250um)/tau(J) maps reveal six fields with clear increase of submillimetre opacity of up to tau(250um)/tau(J) ~ 4*10^-3. These are all nearby fields with spatially resolved clumps of high column density. We interpret the increase in the far-infrared opacity as a sign of grain growth in the densest and coldest regions of interstellar clouds.

description: We re-estimate the peculiar velocity of the Sun with respect to the local standard of rest using a sample of local stars within 600 pc of the Sun, selected from the LAMOST Spectroscopic Survey of the Galactic Anti-centre (LSS-GAC). The sample consists of 94332 FGK main-sequence stars with well-determined radial velocities and atmospheric parameters. To derive the LSR, two independent analyses are applied to the data. Firstly, we determine the solar motion by comparing the observed velocity distribution to that generated with the analytic formulism of Schonrich & Binney that has been demonstrated to show excellent agreement with rigorous torus-based dynamics modelling by Binney & McMillan. Secondly, we propose that cold populations of thin disc stars, selected by applying an orbital eccentricity cut, can be directly used to determine the LSR without the need of asymmetric drift corrections. Both approaches yield consistent results of solar motion in the direction of Galactic rotation, V_sun, that are much higher than the standard value adopted hitherto, derived from Stromgren's equation. The newly deduced values of V_sun are 1-2 km/s smaller than the more recent estimates derived from the Geneva-Copenhagen Survey sample of stars in the solar neighbourhood (within 100 pc). We attribute the small difference to the presence of several well-known moving groups in the GCS sample that, fortunately, hardly affect the LSS-GAC sample. The newly derived radial and vertical components of the solar motion agree well with the previous studies. In addition, for all components of the solar motion, the values yielded by stars of different spectral types in the LSS-GAC sample are consistent with each other, suggesting that the local disk is well relaxed and that the LSR reported in the current work is robust. Our final recommended LSR is, (U,V,W)_sun = (7.01+/-0.20, 10.13+/-0.12, 4.95+/-0.09) km/s.

description: We show that for arbitrary linearly ordered set $X$ any bounded family of (not necessarily, continuous) real valued functions on $X$ with bounded total variation does not contain independent sequences. We obtain generalized Helly's sequential compactness type theorems. One of the theorems asserts that for every compact metric space $(Y,d)$ the compact space $BV_r(X,Y)$ of all functions $X \to Y$ with variation $\leq r$ is sequentially compact in the pointwise topology. Another Helly type theorem shows that the compact space $M_+(X,Y)$ of all order preserving maps $X \to Y$ is sequentially compact where $Y$ is a compact metrizable partially ordered space in the sense of Nachbin.

description: The dissipative Dicke model exhibits a fascinating out-of-equilibrium many-body phase transition as a function of a coupling between a driven photonic cavity and numerous two-level atoms. We study the effect of a time-dependent parametric modulation of this coupling, and discover a rich phase diagram as a function of the modulation strength. We find that in addition to the established normal and super-radiant phases, a new phase with pulsed superradiance which we term dynamical normal phase appears when the system is parametrically driven. Employing different methods, we characterize the different phases and the transitions between them. Specific heed is paid to the role of dissipation in determining the phase boundaries. Our analysis paves the road for the experimental study of dynamically stabilized phases of interacting light and matter.

Causal inference under over-simplified longitudinal causal models

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Many causal models of interest in epidemiology involve longitudinal exposures, confounders and mediators. However, repeated measurements are not always available or used in practice, leading analysts to overlook the time-varying nature of exposures and work under over-simplified causal models. Our objective is to assess whether - and how - causal effects identified under such misspecified causal models relates to true causal effects of interest. We derive sufficient conditions ensuring that the quantities estimated in practice under over-simplified causal models can be expressed as weighted averages of longitudinal causal effects of interest. Unsurprisingly, these sufficient conditions are very restrictive, and our results state that the quantities estimated in practice should be interpreted with caution in general, as they usually do not relate to any longitudinal causal effect of interest. Our simulations further illustrate that the bias between the quantities estimated in practice and the weighted averages of longitudinal causal effects of interest can be substantial. Overall, our results confirm the need for repeated measurements to conduct proper analyses and/or the development of sensitivity analyses when they are not available.

description: By a (latin) unitrade, we call a set of vertices of the Hamming graph that is intersects with every maximal clique in $0$ or $2$ vertices. A bitrade is a bipartite unitrade, that is, a unitrade splittable into two independent sets. We study the cardinality spectrum of the bitrades in the Hamming graph $H(n,k)$ with $k=3$ (ternary hypercube) and the growth of the number of such bitrades as $n$ grows. In particular, we determine all possible (up to $2.5\cdot 2^n$) and large (from $14\cdot 3^{n-3}$) cardinatities of bitrades and prove that the cardinality of a bitrade is compartible to $0$ or $2^n$ modulo $3$ (this result has a treatment in terms of a ternary code of Reed--Muller type). A part of the results is valid for any $k$. We prove that the number of nonequivalent bitrades is not less than $2^{(2/3-o(1))n}$ and is not greater than $2^{α^n}$, $α<2$, as $n\to\infty$.

On the magnetic evolution in Friedmann universes and the question of cosmic magnetogenesis

description: We analyse the evolution of primordial magnetic fields in spatially flat Friedmann universes and reconsider the belief that, after inflation, these fields decay adiabatically on all scales. Without~abandoning classical electromagnetism or standard cosmology, we demonstrate that this is not necessarily the case for superhorizon-sized magnetic fields. The underlying reason for this is causality, which confines the post-inflationary process of electric-current formation, electric-field elimination and magnetic-flux freezing within the horizon. As a result, the adiabatic magnetic decay is not a~priori guaranteed on super-Hubble scales. Instead, after inflation, large-scale magnetic fields obey a~power-law solution, where one of the modes drops at a rate slower than the adiabatic. Whether this slowly decaying mode can dominate and dictate the post-inflationary magnetic evolution depends on the initial conditions. These are determined by the evolution of the field during inflation and by the nature of the transition from the de Sitter phase to the reheating era and then to the subsequent epochs of radiation and dust. We discuss two alternative and complementary scenarios to illustrate the role and the implications of the initial conditions for cosmic magnetogenesis. Our main claim is that magnetic fields can be superadiabatically amplified after inflation, as long as they remain outside the horizon. This means that inflation-produced fields can reach astrophysically relevant residual strengths without breaking away from standard physics. Moreover, using the same causality arguments, one can constrain (or in some cases assist) the non-conventional scenarios of primordial magnetogenesis that amplify their fields during inflation. Finally, we show that our results extend naturally to the marginally open and the marginally closed Friedmann universes.

description: This article introduces the notion of good labellings for asymptotic lattices in order to study joint spectra of quantum integrable systems from the point of view of inverse spectral theory. As an application, we consider a new spectral quantity for a quantum integrable system, the quantum rotation number. In the case of two degrees of freedom, we obtain a constructive algorithm for the detection of appropriate labellings for joint eigenvalues, which we use to prove that, in the semiclassical limit, the quantum rotation number can be calculated on a joint spectrum in a robust way, and converges to the well-known classical rotation number. The general results are applied to the semitoric case where formulas become particularly natural.

description: The Reynolds Transport Theorem, colloquially known as 'differentiation under the integral sign', is a central tool of applied mathematics, finding application in a variety of disciplines such as fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical physics. In this work we state and prove generalizations thereof to submanifolds with corners evolving in a manifold via the flow of a smooth time-independent or time-dependent vector field. Thereby we close a practically important gap in the mathematical literature, as related works require various 'boundedness conditions' on domain or integrand that are cumbersome to satisfy in common modeling situations. By considering manifolds with corners, a generalization of manifolds and manifolds with boundary, this work constitutes a step towards a unified treatment of classical integral theorems for the 'unbounded case' for which the boundary of the evolving set can exhibit some irregularity.

description: This dissertation consists of three papers that examine philosophical questions concerning computer simulations and modeling. In my first chapter, I argue that it is essential to consider the role of simulation calibration when making epistemic comparisons between experiments and simulations. Doing so allows us to be sensitive to differences in their respective methodologies. Simulation calibration, which takes place during the model’s construction, results in changes to the simulation model. As such, in theses epistemic comparisons between simulations and traditional experiments, it matters whether we are considering calibrated or uncalibrated simulations. My second chapter continues the inquiry into the philosophical importance of calibration and argues that simulation calibration is like metrological calibration in substantive ways, namely that they both depend on comparison and have a goal to make what is being calibrated like the object of comparison. Simulation calibration, however, goes beyond metrological calibration in that the parametrization that takes place during simulation calibration can be considered novel information about the target system in cases where the parameters that are calibrated represent physical properties in the target system. In my third and final chapter, I consider implications of the computational nature of simulations on model evaluation. I consider two theories of model evaluation, the adequacy-for-purpose and similarity views. The adequacy-for-purpose theory posits that models are evaluated on their representation adequacy, but also other criteria such as methodology and the user, making it a more holistic approach to model evaluation. I argue that even though the adequacy-for-purpose theory is focused on evaluating the representational adequacy of the model, it can accommodate computational aspects of simulations by including them in the methodological considerations. Similarity accounts of model evaluation focus only on representational similarity, and this approach cannot account for the computational aspect of simulation modeling. Reframing computational aspects in representational terms fails to consider the kinds of questions that raised by new modeling methods. The upshot of these three investigations into simulation modeling is that examinations of simulation modeling need to consider more fully the nuances of simulations, namely the model-building techniques and the computational aspect.

description: The exact-exchange (EXX) potential, which is obtained by solving the optimized-effective potential (OEP) equation, is compared to various approximate semilocal exchange potentials for a set of selected solids (C, Si, BN, MgO, Cu$_{2}$O, and NiO). This is done in the framework of the linearized augmented plane-wave method, which allows for a very accurate all-electron solution of electronic structure problems in solids. In order to assess the ability of the semilocal potentials to approximate the EXX-OEP, we considered the EXX total energy, electronic structure, electric-field gradient, and magnetic moment. An attempt to parameterize a semilocal exchange potential is also reported.

description: I present results through three loops for soft anomalous dimensions that control soft-gluon emission in processes involving the top quark. In particular I present results for channels in single-top production and top-pair production as well as for processes with new physics, including $tZ$, $tZ'$, $t γ$, and $tH^-$ production. These calculations are ingredients to resummations at N$^3$LL accuracy and to derivations of N$^3$LO soft-gluon corrections.

description: The advantage of WENO-JS5 scheme [ J. Comput. Phys. 1996] over the WENO-LOC scheme [J. Comput. Phys.1994] is that the WENO-LOC nonlinear weights do not achieve the desired order of convergence in smooth monotone regions and at critical points. In this article, this drawback is achieved with the WENO-LOC smoothness indicators by constructing a WENO-Z type nonlinear weights which contains a novel global smoothness indicator. This novel smoothness indicator measures the derivatives of the reconstructed flux in a global stencil, as a result, the proposed numerical scheme could decrease the dissipation near the discontinuous regions. The theoretical and numerical experiments to achieve the required order of convergence in smooth monotone regions, at critical points, the essentially non-oscillatory (ENO), the analysis of parameters involved in the nonlinear weights like $ε$ and $p$ are studied. From this study, we conclude that the imposition of certain conditions on $ε$ and $p$, the proposed scheme achieves the global order of accuracy in the presence of an arbitrary number of critical points. Numerical tests for scalar, one and two-dimensional system of Euler equations are presented to show the effective performance of the proposed numerical scheme.

title: Helicopter handling qualities in degraded visual environments

description: New generation military helicopters are required to fly Nap-of-the-Earth (NoE) roles at night and in poor weather conditions. In these situations the pilot must guide the aircraft through obstacle cluttered environments, retain sufficient stabilised ' control, while at the same time coping with a range of degraded visual conditions. The Useable Cue Environment (UCE) procedures provide a means of assessing handling qualities as a function of available visual information, subsequently suggesting minimum control requirements (Response Types) in order to aid the pilot with the stabilisation of the aircraft. While the UCE procedures are' the preferred industry standard for quantifying and maintaining good levels of handling qualities in DVE, there is no direct appreciation of the difficulties encountered with guiding the aircraft or avoiding obstacles. The aim of this study was to develop the UCE approach by incorporating the guidance function of piloting, subsequently enriching the 'Helicopter Handling Qualities in Degraded Visual Environments' analysis procedures. To date few investigations have taken place to determine how the pilot guides the aircraft at low level and through cluttered environments. Recent studies in this field, involving the University of Liverpool, have suggested the importance of the movement of objects and textures in the visual scene (optical flow) for such prospective flight control. The most recent incarnation of this theory introduces the importance of a parameter called tau, ' , a natural temporal means of control thought to be exercised by animals and humans. '-theory provided a starting point for this investigation, developing into a series of piloted simulation trials to examine guidance based manoeuvring. Using a few carefully selected visual degradations, this extensive simulation campaign helped to identify the important visual information for guidance, such as the visual flow quality and the temporal range through which the pilot can see in order to plan his way through a cluttered environment. These findings have been translated into new UCE limits and overlaid onto the existing UCE chart. Added to these handling qualities prediction methods, a pilot control strategy for performing each of the manoeuvres has been developed using the principles of ' coupling. The possible use of this ,,-based control has been explained through the conceptual design of a tunnel-in-the-sky type flight director.

description: Let $S$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with finite positive Lebesgue measure. The Beer index of convexity $\operatorname{b}(S)$ of $S$ is the probability that two points of $S$ chosen uniformly independently at random see each other in $S$. The convexity ratio $\operatorname{c}(S)$ of $S$ is the Lebesgue measure of the largest convex subset of $S$ divided by the Lebesgue measure of $S$. We investigate the relationship between these two natural measures of convexity. We show that every set $S\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2$ with simply connected components satisfies $\operatorname{b}(S)\leqα\operatorname{c}(S)$ for an absolute constant $α$, provided $\operatorname{b}(S)$ is defined. This implies an affirmative answer to the conjecture of Cabello et al. that this estimate holds for simple polygons. We also consider higher-order generalizations of $\operatorname{b}(S)$. For $1\leq k\leq d$, the $k$-index of convexity $\operatorname{b}_k(S)$ of a set $S\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ is the probability that the convex hull of a $(k+1)$-tuple of points chosen uniformly independently at random from $S$ is contained in $S$. We show that for every $d\geq 2$ there is a constant $β(d)>0$ such that every set $S\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ satisfies $\operatorname{b}_d(S)\leqβ\operatorname{c}(S)$, provided $\operatorname{b}_d(S)$ exists. We provide an almost matching lower bound by showing that there is a constant $γ(d)>0$ such that for every $\varepsilon\in(0,1)$ there is a set $S\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ of Lebesgue measure $1$ satisfying $\operatorname{c}(S)\leq\varepsilon$ and $\operatorname{b}_d(S)\geqγ\frac{\varepsilon}{\log_2{1/\varepsilon}}\geqγ\frac{\operatorname{c}(S)}{\log_2{1/\operatorname{c}(S)}}$.
