description: The purpose of this publication is to perform a system analysis of new cultivation technology for exposed bivalve farming. The technical feasibility of the new construction, called Shellfish Tower, was assessed. The device has gone through several very different phases of development on its way to the deployment of the prototype. These included multiple iterations during the designing stage, wave tank testing, fabrication, loading and unloading on trucks and vessels, deployment at sea, installation and assembly on the single mooring line, and bring it to its final position in a submerged mode 5m-10 m below the water surface. The final structure has a hexagonal body, with a centrally orientated variable buoyancy unit with culture sub-units on each of the six corners. These sub-units can be used for the culture of oysters (Magallana gigas – formally Crassostrea gigas) as well as for the collection of mussel spat (Perna canaliculus). Other possible candidates could be seaweed, lobsters, sponges or tunicates. The operational depth of the whole system can be at any depth but was tested at between 5 and 10 m below the water surface positioned on the mooring line between the screw anchor and surface floats for the prototype tests. The system was deployed in March 2019 six nautical miles off the Bay of Plenty, North Island (New Zealand), in exposed waters near a commercial mussel farm and has been in test mode since then. The modelled structure indicates a design tolerance of significant wave height of over 7 m and currents of over 0.8 m/s. Initial results show that the new design has survived waves at 4.6 m significant height and current velocities of up to 0.7 m•s-1, while showing best growth conditions of the cultured oysters as well as for the spat settlement of juvenile greenshell™ mussels.

description: The ability to control and exploit quantum coherence and entanglement drives research across many fields ranging from ultra-cold quantum gases to spin systems in condensed matter. Transcending different physical systems, optical approaches have proven themselves to be particularly powerful, since they profit from the established toolbox of quantum optical techniques, are state-selective, contact-less and can be extremely fast. Here, we demonstrate how a precisely timed sequence of monochromatic ultrafast (~2-5 ps) optical pulses, with a well defined polarisation can be used to prepare arbitrary superpositions of exciton spin states in a semiconductor quantum dot, achieve ultrafast control of the spin-wavefunction without an applied magnetic field and make high fidelity read-out the quantum state in an arbitrary basis simply by detecting a strong (~2-10$ pA) electric current flowing in an external circuit. The results obtained show that the combined quantum state preparation, control and read-out can be performed with a near-unity (>97%) fidelity. Our methods are fully applicable to other quantum systems and have strong potential for scaling to more complex systems such as molecules and spin-chains.

description: Classification is widely used technique in the data mining domain, where scalability and efficiency are the immediate problems in classification algorithms for large databases. We suggest improvements to the existing C4.5 decision tree algorithm. In this paper attribute oriented induction (AOI) and relevance analysis are incorporated with concept hierarchys knowledge and HeightBalancePriority algorithm for construction of decision tree along with Multi level mining. The assignment of priorities to attributes is done by evaluating information entropy, at different levels of abstraction for building decision tree using HeightBalancePriority algorithm. Modified DMQL queries are used to understand and explore the shortcomings of the decision trees generated by C4.5 classifier for education dataset and the results are compared with the proposed approach.

description: Bacteria transport through soil is a complex process particularly when the cells are released from solid manures and co-transported with particles. This study focuses on understanding of the Escherichia coli release from different particle fractions (0.25-, 0.5-, 1-, and 2-mm) of solid manure and evaluating different influent boundary conditions during cell release from manure and when a solid manure is applied to the soil. The 0.25-mm and 2-mm particle sizes resulted a greater cell release compared to 0.5-mm and 1-mm fractions (p < 0.05). The shape and magnitude of the cell release curves (CRCs) from the original manure bulk were mainly influenced by the two 0.25-mm and 2-mm fractions, respectively. The arithmetic mean for normalizing the CRCs and the time variable- based normalized CRCs for the manure-treated soil were the robust variables in evaluation of the experimental data. However, a single maximum bacteria concentration could provide the realistic dataset for the modeling process. Evaluation of the root-mean-squared-error and Akaike criterion showed that the two- and three-parametric models are recommended for simulating the cell release from solid manure in comparison with one parametric models. This study also suggests considering separate microbial release evaluations, with regards to influent concentration, for manure and manure-treated soils to propose best management practices for controlling bacteria pollution. Further research will reveal the key roles of different woody components and soluble material ratios for the various solid manures in bacteria release.

description: Automated driving in urban traffic requires extensive information from the surroundings. The most promisring approach to facilitate automated driving in mixed traffic is platooning of connected and automated vehicles (CAV). In this research, we investigate a human-leading strategy (HL) by which CAVs drive in platoons with the CAV leading the platoon driven by a human. We thoroughly formulate the problem of managing CAV platoons by the HL strategy, systematically model the platoon dynamics and the traffic system, as well as propose two approaches to implement this strategy. By conducting experiments in a simulation framework that combines the traffic and the communication network, the implementation of the HL strategy is evaluated with the consideration of travel time, automated driving experience, and communication reliability. The simulation results revealed that the HL strategy makes it feasible for CAVs to drive in automated mode in an urban mixed traffic network, while its performance relies on the CAV penetration rate and communication reliability. In addition, the results suggest that the performance of the HL strategy can be significantly improved by approaches that allow uninterrupted platooning and result in stable platoon dynamics.
title: Changing Access: Building a Culture of Accessibility Within Normalized Technical Communication Practices
Creators: name: Huntsman, Sherena
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: As a field intricately connected to human experience and interaction, technical and professional communication (TPC) is historically, ethically, and practically tooled to address issues of equality, diversity, and access. While these important issues have not always been the focal point of TPC, the recent turn toward social justice has scholars asking critical questions about how users access information, how specific design practices may privilege some and disenfranchise others, and how we can be more inclusive across our communication practices. In this dissertation, I argue that it is within reach of TPC to address the specific problem of access—the gap between what we believe to be accessible and what is actually accessible—and to begin to change specific norms (beliefs, standards, guidelines, etc.) that guide our practices. We change norms, or the typical way we do things, by exposing them, disrupting them, and developing new, more inclusive practices. I argue that we can create new norms that are liberated from unjust assumptions of embodied ability and include accessibility as a normalized part of the design process.

description: We extend a previous cross-calibration study by the International Astronomical Consortium for High Energy Calibration (IACHEC) on XMM-Newton/EPIC, Chandra/ACIS and BeppoSAX/MECS X-ray instruments with clusters of galaxies to Suzaku/XIS instruments. Our aim is to study the accuracy of the energy-dependent effective area calibration of the XIS instruments by comparison of spectroscopic temperatures, fluxes and fit residuals obtained with Suzaku/XIS and XMM-Newton/EPIC-pn for the same cluster. The temperatures measured in the hard 2.0-7.0 keV energy band with all instruments are consistent within 5 %. However, temperatures obtained with the XIS instruments in the soft 0.5-2.0 keV band disagree by 9-29 %. We investigated residuals in the XIS soft band, which showed that if XIS0 effective area shape is accurately calibrated, the effective areas of XIS1 and XIS3 are overestimated below 1.0 keV (or vice versa). Adjustments to the modelling of the column density of the XIS contaminant in the 3-6 arcmin extraction region while forcing consistent emission models in each instrument for a given cluster significantly improved the fits. The oxygen column density in XIS1 and XIS3 contaminant must be increased by 1-2E17 cm^-2 in comparison to the values implemented in the current calibration, while the column density of the XIS0 contaminant given by the analysis is consistent with the public calibration. XIS soft band temperatures obtained with the modification to the column density of the contaminant agree better with temperatures obtained with the EPIC-pn instrument of XMM-Newton, than with those derived using the Chandra-ACIS instrument. However, comparison of hard band fluxes obtained using Suzaku-XIS to fluxes obtained using the Chandra-ACIS and EPIC-pn instruments proved inconclusive.

Material examined: Holotype MNHN DCL373 sv 99, Aldabra C. Lévi (microscope slide only).
Description: Choanosomal skeleton: Ascending sinuous columns composed of styles (rhabdostyles) and occasionally tylostyles, with interconnecting spicules (Fig. 23F). Heads of principal spicules embedded in spongin. Secondary reticulation, with one to three spicules interconnecting.

Microscleres: Acanthoxeas 91– 102– 110 µm × 1–2 µm (Fig. 23E).
Remarks: This species appears to be a poecilosclerid, and morphologically it is similar to Spanioplon armaturum (Fig. 23A, B). Both species share style/tylostyle megascleres and tornotes with basal ends rounded and slightly dilated. The ‘acanthoxeas’ in Higginsia fragilis are also similar to those of Spanioplon armaturum (which vary from acanthoxeas to acanthostyles) and are unlike the acanthoxeas in other Higginsia and Halicnemia species. On the basis of the morphology, we propose the transfer of Higginsia fragilis to Spanioplon (Hymedesmiidae: Poecilosclerida).

description: In spin-1 collective atomic systems, the spin and nematic-tensor operators constitute the su(3) Lie algebra whose su(2) subalgebras are shown to give two distinct classes of squeezing which are unitarily equivalent to spin squeezing and spin-nematic squeezing. We explicitly construct a unitary operator that generates an arbitrary squeezed spin-nematic state from an arbitrary Fock state. In particular, we demonstrate that squeezed spin states can be generated from a polar state and that squeezed spin-nematic sates can be generated from a fully spin-polarized state.

title: Kontroverse „Hirndoping“ – Hochaktueller Diskurs oder Medienhype einer Phantomdebatte?
Creators: name: Schoilew, Kyrill
Publisher: name: University Library Heidelberg
Year: 2016

description: In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich mit der Debatte um den Einsatz biomedizinischer Anwendungen zur Steigerung kognitiver Fähigkeiten von Gesunden ein neues Diskussionsfeld innerhalb der Bioethik etabliert. Diesem wird überdies ein beachtliches öffentliches Interesse zuteil. In einem ethischen Fachdiskurs herrscht Uneinigkeit in Hinsicht auf die moralische (Un-)Bedenklichkeit sowie auf die Folgen von sogenanntem „Cognitive Enhancement“ für das Individuum, die Gesellschaft und das Selbstbild des Menschen. Jenseits des weitgehend in sich geschlossenen ethischen Diskurses wird die Einnahme von „Hirndoping“, „Gedächtnispillen“ und „Viagra fürs Gehirn“ als ‚hochaktueller Trend’ in der öffentlichen Berichterstattung populärer Medien aufgegriffen. Bei dem vorliegenden Aufsatz handelt es sich um eine gekürzte Fassung meiner 2013 der Medizinischen Fakultät Heidelberg vorgelegten Dissertation “„Cognitive Enhancement“ im ethischen Diskurs“. Im Folgenden werden die verschiedenen Ebenen der Debatte um Cognitive Enhancement in den Blick genommen, die gesellschaftlichen und praktischen Implikationen dieser kontroversen Thematik erörtert und Empfehlungen für eine sinnvolle Öffnung der Debatte formuliert.

description: In the face of a changing climate, yield stability is becoming increasingly important for farmers and breeders. Long-term field experiments (LTEs) generate data sets that allow the quantification of stability for different agronomic treatments. However, there are no commonly accepted guidelines for assessing yield stability in LTEs. The large diversity of options impedes comparability of results and reduces confidence in conclusions. Here, we review and provide guidance for the most commonly encountered methodological issues when analysing yield stability in LTEs. The major points we recommend and discuss in individual sections are the following: researchers should (1) make data quality and methodological approaches in the analysis of yield stability from LTEs as transparent as possible; (2) test for and deal with outliers; (3) investigate and include, if present, potentially confounding factors in the statistical model; (4) explore the need for detrending of yield data; (5) account for temporal autocorrelation if necessary; (6) make explicit choice for the stability measures and consider the correlation between some of the measures; (7) consider and account for dependence of stability measures on the mean yield; (8) explore temporal trends of stability; and (9) report standard errors and statistical inference of stability measures where possible. For these issues, we discuss the pros and cons of the various methodological approaches and provide solutions and examples for illustration. We conclude to make ample use of linking up data sets, and to publish data, so that different approaches can be compared by other authors and, finally, consider the impacts of the choice of methods on the results when interpreting results of yield stability analyses. Consistent use of the suggested guidelines and recommendations may provide a basis for robust analyses of yield stability in LTEs and to subsequently design stable cropping systems that are better adapted to a changing climate.

King or Pawn in the Legislative Chess Game? A Text Reuse Analysis of the Hungarian Parliament's Law-making
Creators: name: PoltextLAB
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 460208
subject: Natural language processing

description: While law-making is a core function of parliaments, insights about the extent to which and why parliaments amend bills are still scarce, especially beyond the U.S. and the core Western European EU countries. This gap in the literature is all the more surprising as the issue relates to the fundamental question of power relations between the legislature and the executive. According to Norton (1998, p. 6) “legislativ­e power, in pluralist terms, is the capacity of the legislature to constrain government in what it does.” Norton cites Jean Blondel’s concept of legislative viscosity: the extent to which parliaments can withstand government pressure when it comes to passing laws. According to Blondel (1970, pp. 79-80), one of the primary measures of legislative power is legislative amendments: “the origin, number, and fate of these amendments are all indicative of a number of steps in the viscosity of the process.”In this paper, we shed new light on viscosity, in other words, parliament’s power to legislate, by applying cutting-edge text mining methods to a case study examining bills and laws in Hungary. More specifically, we analyze the degree and determinants of bill amendments by parliament. Following in the footsteps of recent studies (Cross and Hermansson 2017; Gava, Jaquet, and Sciarini 2021; Pedrazzani and Zucchini 2013), we compare bills before and after parliamentary deliberations with text reuse tools, and we analyze how bills’ characteristics and MPs’ strategies influence amendment efforts.
Improved quantum correlations in second harmonic generation with a squeezed pump

description: We investigate the effects of a squeezed pump on the quantum properties and conversion efficiency of the light produced in single-pass second harmonic generation. Using stochastic integration of the two-mode equations of motion in the positive-P representation, we find that larger violations of continuous-variable harmonic entanglement criteria are available for lesser effective interaction strengths than with a coherent pump. This enhancement of the quantum properties also applies to violations of the Reid-Drummond inequalities used to demonstrate a harmonic version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox. We find that the conversion efficiency is largely unchanged except for very low pump intensities and high levels of squeezing.

description: We report on the first subpicometer interferometer flown in space. It was part of ESA's Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) Pathfinder mission and performed the fundamental measurement of the positional and angular motion of two free-falling test masses. The interferometer worked immediately, stably, and reliably from switch on until the end of the mission with exceptionally low residual noise of 32.0-1.7+2.4 fm/Hz, significantly better than required. We present an upper limit for the sensor performance at millihertz frequencies and a model for the measured sensitivity above 200 mHz.

description: Studies of citizens’ compliance with COVID-19 preventive measures routinely rely on survey data. While such data are essential, public health restrictions provide clear signals of what is socially desirable in this context, creating a potential source of response bias in self-reported measures of compliance. In this research, we examine whether the results of a guilt-free strategy recently proposed to lessen this constraint are generalizable across twelve countries, and whether the treatment effect varies across subgroups. Our findings show that the guilt-free strategy is a useful tool in every country included, increasing respondents’ proclivity to report non-compliance by 9 to 16 percentage points. This effect holds for different subgroups based on gender, age and education. We conclude that the inclusion of this strategy should be the new standard for survey research that aims to provide crucial data on the current pandemic.

description: We report on the detection of a narrow feature at 262816.73 MHz towards Orion and the cold prestellar core B1-bS, that we attribute to the 1(0)-0(0) line of the deuterated Ammonium ion, NH3D+. The observations were performed with the IRAM 30m radio telescope. The carrier has to be a light molecular species as it is the only feature detected over 3.6 GHz of bandwidth. The hyperfine structure is not resolved indicating a very low value for the electric quadrupolar coupling constant of Nitrogen which is expected for NH3D+ as the electric field over the N nucleus is practically zero. Moreover, the feature is right at the predicted frequency for the 1(0)-0(0) transition of the Ammonium ion, 262817(6) MHz (3sigma), using rotational constants derived from new infrared data obtained in our laboratory in Madrid. The estimated column density is 1.1(0.2)e12 cm-2. Assuming a deuterium enhancement similar to that of NH2D, we derive N(NH4+) sim 2.6e13 cm-2, i.e., an abundance for Ammonium of a few 1e(-11).

description: In this contribution, a vector-autoregressive (VAR) process with multivariate t-distributed random deviations is incorporated into the Gauss-Helmert model (GHM), resulting in an innovative adjustment model. This model is versatile since it allows for a wide range of functional models, unknown forms of auto- and cross-correlations, and outlier patterns. Subsequently, a computationally convenient iteratively reweighted least squares method based on an expectation maximization algorithm is derived in order to estimate the parameters of the functional model, the unknown coefficients of the VAR process, the cofactor matrix, and the degree of freedom of the t-distribution. The proposed method is validated in terms of its estimation bias and convergence behavior by means of a Monte Carlo simulation based on a GHM of a circle in two dimensions. The methodology is applied in two different fields of application within engineering geodesy: In the first scenario, the offset and linear drift of a noisy accelerometer are estimated based on a Gauss-Markov model with VAR and multivariate t-distributed errors, as a special case of the proposed GHM. In the second scenario real laser tracker measurements with outliers are adjusted to estimate the parameters of a sphere employing the proposed GHM with VAR and multivariate t-distributed errors. For both scenarios the estimated parameters of the fitted VAR model and multivariate t-distribution are analyzed for evidence of auto- or cross-correlations and deviation from a normal distribution regarding the measurement noise.
The Bondi problem revisited: a spectral domain decomposition code

description: We present a simple domain decomposition code based on the Galerkin-Collocation method to integrate the field equations of the Bondi problem. The algorithm is stable, exhibits exponential convergence when considering the Bondi formula as an error measure, and is computationally economical. We have incorporated features of both Galerkin and Collocation methods along with the establishment of two non-overlapping subdomains. We have further applied the code to show the decay of the Bondi mass in the nonlinear regime and its power-law late time decay. Another application is the determination of the wave-forms at the future null infinity connected with distinct initial data.

description: The production of ultra-bright electron bunches using ionization injection triggered by two transversely colliding laser pulses inside a beam-driven plasma wake is examined via three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The relatively low intensity lasers are polarized along the wake axis and overlap with the wake for a very short time. The result is that the residual momentum of the ionized electrons in the transverse plane of the wake is much reduced and the injection is localized along the propagation axis of the wake. This minimizes both the initial 'thermal' emittance and the emittance growth due to transverse phase mixing. 3D PIC simulations show that ultra-short (around 8 fs) high-current (0.4 kA) electron bunches with a normalized emittance of 8.5 and 6 nm in the two planes respectively and a brightness greater than 1.7*10e19 A rad-2 m-2 can be obtained for realistic parameters.

description: We report on the quantitative determination of the strain map in a strained Silicon-On-Insulator (sSOI) line with a 200x70 nm^2 cross-section. In order to study a single line as a function of time, we used an X-ray nanobeam with relaxed coherence properties as a compromise between beam size, coherence and intensity. We demonstrate how it is possible to reconstruct the line deformation at the nanoscale, and follow its evolution as the line relaxes under the influence of the X-ray nanobeam.

description: Im Gegensatz zu Pflanzenarten die als Modelle für die Grundlagenforschung genutzt werden oder den wichtigsten landwirtschaftlichen Kulturpflanzen hat die Züchtungsforschung an Zierpflanzen mit einer Reihe von spezifischen Problemen zu kämpfen. Eines der Probleme ist die hohe Diversität an Zierpflanzenkulturen, die zur Folge hat, dass es, im Vergleich zu den landwirtschaftlichen Hauptkulturen, nur relative geringe Investitionen in Forschung und Entwicklung für die einzelne Kulturart gibt. Weitere Probleme entstehen durch Polyploidie, große Genome, lange Generationszeiten und schlechte Transformierbarkeit. Als Beispiel werden Arbeiten zur Resistenz an Rosen vorgestellt. In tetrasom spaltenden Nachkommenschaften mit Aufspaltung von Resistenz gegenüber einzelnen pathogenen Rassen eines Erregers ist die Markerentwicklung schwierig, da der Nachweis von Repulsionskopplungen sehr große Nachkommenschaften erfordert. In einem zweiten, alternativen Ansatz wurden in einem Panel von 96 überwiegend tetraploiden Rosensorten Assoziationsstudien zur Resistenz gegen verschiedene Pathogene und zu verschiedenen anderen Merkmalen durchgeführt. Als Markersysteme wurden hauptsächlich SNPs von einem Axiom SNP array sowie KASP Marker verwendet. Beispielhaft werden einzelne mit QTLs assoziierte Marker und erste Validierungsexperimente in unabhängigen Populationen sowie die Problematik der Dosisermittlung in tetraploiden Genotypen vorgestellt. Abschließend werden Ansätze und erste Ergebnisse zur Modifizierung von MLO-Genen in tetraploiden Rosen mit Hilfe von TALEN und CRISPR gezeigt.

description: Heidelberger Umweltphysiker haben ein neues Verfahren entwickelt, mit dem sich genauer als bisher voraussagen lässt, wie Wolken das Klima beeinflussen. Eine maßgebliche Rolle dabei spielen kleine Eiskristalle und ihre Fähigkeit, Licht in die Atmosphäre zu reflektieren. Wie Größe, Form und Zusammensetzung der Eispartikel diese Fähigkeit beeinflussen, können die Forscher nun mit hoher Präzision berechnen. Aber nicht nur die Umweltforschung profitiert von dieser neuen Methode.
