description: Bioenergy combustion with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is a key technology to achieve carbon negative emissions power generation. This can be achieved by coupling the biofuels combustion with CO2 capture and storage (CCS). The lowest cost for CCS corresponds at the moment to the Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) process. This can use biofuels which can be gaseous (biomethane, biogas or syngas etc.), liquid (biodiesel, bioethanol, biobutanol and pyrolysis oils etc.) or solids (wood dust, charcoal dust, wood chips, wood pellets etc.) While plant design with gaseous and liquid biofuels would be simpler, plants using solid biofuels and based on two couple fluidisd beds would need the use of a third reactor named carbon stripper. In the specific case if we plan to couple a CLC plant with a turbo expander (to achieve the high efficiencies of a combined cycle power plant) we have to work with pressurized reactors. However, there are some technical barriers to the coupling of a chemical looping combustor with a turbo expander, such as: the operation of the combustor in pressurised conditions; the inventory balance among reactors; elutriated particles reaching the turbo expander. This explaind why there is no commercial plant at the moment capable to do this. The aim of this paper is to present a model for the dimensioning of an air reactor to be coupled to a turbo expander of the power of about 12 MWe . Based on this, the air mass flow can be obtained and the geometric parameters can be calculated, to have an air velocity which is needed to achieve the fast fluidization regime and to ensure a high conversion rate as well as particles and heat exchage among air and fuel reactor.

description: The Open Government Initiative (OGI) was signed by President Obama on  January 21, 2009. The stated aims of the OGI are to promote transparency, participation,  and collaboration in executive agencies. Implementation of the OGI focused initially on  transparency and data integrity, particularly in online environments.  Open government compliance is of interest to library and information science  (LIS) professionals because it utilizes several core competencies taught during LIS  graduate programs including data and knowledge management, outreach, collaboration,  and data visualization. Managing OGI participation could be a growth area for LIS  professionals because of its use of many components of library and information science.  More than three years after the OGI was signed, no broad investigation of the  level of agency participation with the OGI has been done. This paper reports on a study  to determine how and why agencies are meeting or exceeding compliance minimums  concerning online data transparency in online environments.
Paper or Facebook? An experiment on the comprehension of texts with a group of dropouts

description: Reading texts on the web using technological devices is a practice that is increasing, especially among the younger generation, and this raises questions about the skills that are required to do this, the role and effects of the distractors present around the text, and the cognitive reorganisation that involves a change in the tools used for reading. It appears possible to hypothesise that the meaning of texts is destined, in time, to be more accessible through technological devices rather than via paper. This article presents the results of an experiment conducted with a group of dropouts, a category identified for placement outside the classic route of education, and therefore further removed from the daily use of traditional, printed texts encountered in a professional training course. Using evidence from the survey released by OECD-PISA, our intention is to compare the understanding of these texts when presented on paper compared to when they appeared on Facebook.

Computing with Polynomial Ordinary Differential Equations

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Computational Complexity (cs.CC)

description: In 1941, Claude Shannon introduced the General Purpose Analog Computer(GPAC) as a mathematical model of Differential Analysers, that is to say as a model of continuous-time analog (mechanical, and later one electronic) machines of that time. Following Shannon's arguments, functions generated by GPACs must be differentially algebraic. As it is known that some computable functions like Euler's $Γ(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty}t^{x-1}e^{-t}dt$ or Riemann's Zeta function $ζ(x)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac1{k^x}$ are not differentially algebraic, this argument has been often used to demonstrate in the past that the GPAC is less powerful than digital computation. It was proved in JOC2007, that if a more modern notion of computation is considered, i.e. in particular if computability is not restricted to real-time generation of functions, the GPAC is actually equivalent to Turing machines. Our purpose is first to discuss the robustness of the notion of computation involved in JOC2007, by establishing that natural variants of the notion of computation from this paper leads to the same computability result. Second, to go considerations about (time) complexity, we explore several natural variants for measuring time/space complexity of a computation. Rather surprisingly, whereas defining a robust time complexity for general continuous time systems is a well known open problem, we prove that all variants are actually equivalent even at the complexity level. As a consequence, it seems that a robust and well defined notion of time complexity exists for the GPAC, or equivalently for computations by polynomial ordinary differential equations. Another side effect of our proof is also that we show in some way that polynomial ordinary differential equations can be used as a kind of programming model, and that there is a rather nice and robust notion of ODE programming.

Higher Education Professors in Blended Teaching Modality.pdf
Creators: name: Cabello, Cyril

Subjects: Education

description: With the amplified effects of the pandemic, higher academic institutions are forced to embrace blended learning as a modality of teaching. Blended learning has been a modality of teaching for the past decades to address urgency in the educational sector gaining numerous literature that exemplified its effects on the students’ academic performance, however, there’s no literature that examined the lived experiences of the professors in this modality of teaching. Thus, this study investigated and explicated the lived experiences of higher education professors in the blended learning modality of teaching. With 8 participants, that data was treated utilizing the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) anchored from the Modified Van Kaam Approach popularized by Moustakas. Four emerging core themes were generated such as (Theme 1) pedagogical challenges in delivering quality education, (Theme 2) technical Struggles are real, (Theme 3) potential Health Risk is at stake, and (Theme 4) resiliency is the key. With these emerging core themes, it is clear that although most of the professors are struggling pedagogically and technologically with their health at risk, there are some of them who thrive and gradually dance with the tune of technology. It is recommended that sufficient skill training such as webinars and web talks in manipulating technological tools and online platforms may be provided to all higher education professors.

Recombinant transfer in the basic genome of E. coli

subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: An approximation to the ~4 Mbp basic genome shared by 32 strains of E. coli representing six evolutionary groups has been derived and analyzed computationally. A multiple-alignment of the 32 complete genome sequences was filtered to remove mobile elements and identify the most reliable ~90% of the aligned length of each of the resulting 496 basic-genome pairs. Patterns of single-bp mutations (SNPs) in aligned pairs distinguish clonally inherited regions from regions where either genome has acquired DNA fragments from diverged genomes by homologous recombination since their last common ancestor. Such recombinant transfer is pervasive across the basic genome, mostly between genomes in the same evolutionary group, and generates many unique mosaic patterns. The six least-diverged genome-pairs have one or two recombinant transfers of length ~40-115 kbp (and few if any other transfers), each containing one or more gene clusters known to confer strong selective advantage in some environments. Moderately diverged genome-pairs (0.4-1% SNPs ) show mosaic patterns of interspersed clonal and recombinant regions of varying lengths throughout the basic genome, whereas more highly diverged pairs within an evolutionary group or pairs between evolutionary groups having >1.3% SNPs have few clonal matches longer than a few kbp. Many recombinant transfers appear to incorporate fragments of the entering DNA produced by restriction systems of the recipient cell. A simple computational model can closely fit the data. Most recombinant transfers seem likely to be due to generalized transduction by co-evolving populations of phages, which could efficiently distribute variability throughout bacterial genomes.

description: In this paper we describe a multiscreen-oriented approach for segmenting web pages. The segmentation is an automatic and hybrid visual and structural method. It aims at creating coherent blocks which have different functions determined by the multiscreen environment. It is also characterized by a dynamic adaptation to the page content. Experiments are conducted on a set of existing applications that contain multimedia elements, in particular YouTube and video player pages. Results are compared with one seg-mentation method from the literature and with a ground truth manually created. With a 75% precision, the MSoS is a promising method that is capable of producing good segmentation results.

description: This paper describes an exploratory study to examine academic librarians' perspectives  on using social networking services for inter-library collaboration. The study used semistructured  interviews to provide rich data for investigating where academic librarians are  currently cooperating using social networking technologies and how they feel about using  virtual social and professional tools to build and maintain collaborative networks. Before  reporting on findings, the paper briefly examines the history of academic library  collaboration, the current application of social networking services in business and  professional settings, and some of the contextual, social, and technological factors  affecting collaboration online. The proposed study illuminates many of the current  networking and knowledge sharing practices in the academic library community, with an  eye toward improving those services using social networking technology to track and  leverage connections between librarians.

Synthesis of substituted β-amino-acids and their utilisation in peptide formation
Creators: name: Ridge, R J
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1976

description: The dihydro-oxazinone derivatives of some N-benzoyl substituted β-amino~acids have been prepared and their potential as intermediates in the synthesis of sterically hindered β-peptides has been investigated. The work was prompted by the analogous use of oxazolones for the synthesis of sterically hindered ∝ -amino-acid peptides. In view of the ready accessibility of β-isovalerolactam, some N-protected derivatives have been prepared and their potential in peptide synthesis has also been studied. Linear tri- and hexapeptides of β-aminopivalic acid have been synthesised, the former by two different routes. The effect of steric hindrance at the carboxyl function of this amino-acid with respect to conventional coupling methods has been found to be less profound than the effect of similar steric hindrance at the amino function as exhibited by β-amino-isovaleric acid. The cyclotri- and cyclohexapeptides of β-aminopivalic acid have been prepared from their respective linear peptides; the latter has also been obtained from the linear tripeptide by cyclodimerisation. They were both characterised by their mass spectra and elemental analysis. An extensive investigation of dihydro-oxazinone-N-acyl-β-lactam isomerism has been carried out to solve a problem of structure which arose in the chemical literature between different groups of workers. This includes the hydrogenolysis of dihydro-oxazinones to give substituted B-aminopropionals.

Triplet superconductivity and proximity effect induced by Bloch and Néel domain walls
Creators: name: Fritsch, Daniel

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Noncollinear magnetic interfaces introduced in superconductor (SC)/ferromagnet/SC heterostructures allow for spin-flipping processes and are able to generate equal-spin spin-triplet pairing correlations within the ferromagnetic region. This leads to the occurrence of the so-called long-range proximity effect. Particular examples of noncollinear magnetic interfaces include Bloch and Néel domain walls. Here, we present results for heterostructures containing Bloch and Néel domain walls based on self-consistent solutions of the spin-dependent Bogoliubov$-$de Gennes equations in the clean limit. In particular, we investigate the thickness dependence of Bloch and Néel domain walls on induced spin-triplet pairing correlations and compare with other experimental and theoretical results, including conical magnetic layers as noncollinear magnetic interfaces. It is shown that both, Bloch and Néel domain walls lead to the generation of unequal-spin spin-triplet pairing correlations of similar strength as for conical magnetic layers. However, for the particular heterostructure geometries investigated, only Bloch domain walls lead to the generation of equal-spin spin-triplet pairing correlations. They are stronger than those generated by an equivalent thickness of conical magnetic layers. In order for Néel domain walls to induce equal-spin spin-triplet pairing correlations, they have to be oriented such that the noncollinearity appears within the plane parallel to the interface region.

description: We formulate the higher covariant derivative regularization for N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in N=2 harmonic superspace. This regularization is constructed by adding the N=2 supersymmetric higher derivative term to the classical action and inserting the N=2 supersymmetric Pauli--Villars determinants into the generating functional for removing one-loop divergencies. Unlike all other regularization schemes in N=2 supersymmetric quantum field theory, this regularization preserves by construction the manifest N=2 supersymmetry at all steps of calculating loop corrections to the effective action. Together with N=2 supersymmetric background field method this regularization allows to calculate quantum corrections without breaking the manifest gauge symmetry and N=2 supersymmetry. Thus, we justify the assumption about existence of a regularization preserving N=2 supersymmetry, which is a key element of the N=2 non-renormalization theorem. As a result, we give the prove of the N=2 non-renormalization theorem which does not require any additional assumptions.

description: This paper describes Picat's planner, its implementation, and planning models for several domains used in International Planning Competition (IPC) 2014. Picat's planner is implemented by use of tabling. During search, every state encountered is tabled, and tabled states are used to effectively perform resource-bounded search. In Picat, structured data can be used to avoid enumerating all possible permutations of objects, and term sharing is used to avoid duplication of common state data. This paper presents several modeling techniques through the example models, ranging from designing state representations to facilitate data sharing and symmetry breaking, encoding actions with operations for efficient precondition checking and state updating, to incorporating domain knowledge and heuristics. Broadly, this paper demonstrates the effectiveness of tabled logic programming for planning, and argues the importance of modeling despite recent significant progress in domain-independent PDDL planners.

A study of user effort as measured using query construction and interface selection

description: This pilot study was designed to examine user beliefs and behaviors on the selection and use of search features and search interfaces.  The study consisted of five weeks of user logs taken from an Ultraseek server and surveys administered immediately before and after this time period.  The survey results indicated a strong correlation between a user's level of effort and their perceived benefit of that effort.  Results from the log files were inconclusive but suggested a reluctance to use the advanced search interface.  Reported feature use increased by more than 35% over the five weeks.  This raises the question of how the behavior of an Internet user changes over time.  Further study into the increased use of features and the best interface to provide them is recommended.

Year: 2023
Subjects: webinar

description: Accurate estimation of free energy differences has enormous applications, from understanding a fundamental biochemical process to rational drug design. Statistical mechanics based approaches, such as alchemical free energy calculations, are proven to be highly accurate in calculating the free energy difference between two chemically well-defined states. In this webinar, I will provide an overview of calculating free energy change due to protein mutation using the open-source PMX software and web server. I will also show results from large-scale alchemical calculations of relative and absolute binding free energy for protein-ligand systems. In the end, a brief overview of the ongoing development in PMX will be presented.

description: We report on the results of evaluating the competency of a first-order ontology for its use with automated theorem provers (ATPs). The evaluation follows the adaptation of the methodology based on competency questions (CQs) [Grüninger&Fox,1995] to the framework of first-order logic, which is presented in [Álvez&Lucio&Rigau,2015], and is applied to Adimen-SUMO [Álvez&Lucio&Rigau,2015]. The set of CQs used for this evaluation has been automatically generated from a small set of semantic patterns and the mapping of WordNet to SUMO. Analysing the results, we can conclude that it is feasible to use ATPs for working with Adimen-SUMO v2.4, enabling the resolution of goals by means of performing non-trivial inferences.

title: Conception, Implementation and Empirical Evaluation of a Domain-Specific Language for Multi-Agent Traffic and Transport Simulations
Creators: name: Hoffmann, Benjamin Manfred
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: Conception and implementation of agent-based simulation programs is a complex task. One of the key problems is the requirement of technical agent-based software engineering expertise on the one hand and professional knowledge of the application domain on the other. Either skill set is rare and only few people possess adequate knowledge of both domains. A joint development of software engineers and domain experts is often impeded by inaccurate communication resulting from the incompatible terminologies of the technical and the application domain. This is especially problematic since every change commences a new development cycle based on inapt communication. Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are a promising approach to overcome this gap. A well-designed concrete syntax can serve as the communicational basis. An expressive meta-model in combination with a concise concrete syntax allows modelling on a more abstract level close to the application domain. Via pre-defined transformations, executable simulation software can be generated from DSL-models. DSLs thus have the potential to increase the quality of the software and at the same time accelerate the entire development process. Realisation of this potential demands a perfectly designed language which in turn renders a proper language evaluation indispensable. However, this crucial step is often neglected by DSL developers. Therefore, there is a general demand for further contributions in this area of language engineering. This thesis presents the development of a DSL for the domain of agent-based traffic simulation and vehicle-routing optimisation together with a comprehensive empirical language evaluation. It depicts how an expressive meta-model was developed and merged with a concise concrete textual syntax. It also presents transformations that allow the generation of executable software for different platforms. Most importantly, it provides empirical evidence that language users with little programming knowledge as well as modellers with advanced software development skills can benefit from the application of the DSL in terms of software quality and development time.
