description: This study is the continuation of the research into creating validated translations of the Artificial Social Agent (ASA) Questionnaire for evaluating human-ASA interactions. Following a similar approach as a study for validating a Mandarin-Chinese translation of the same questionnaire (https://osf.io/xgfy3), this study validates German and Dutch translations of the ASA questionnaire via online user studies and provides a summative assessment. The German and Dutch translations were previously created and formatively assessed as described in this OSF pre-registration: osf.io/adknw.

THE REACTIVITY OF SOME TRANSITION METAL NITRIDES AND CARBIDES
Creators: name: CLARK, JEREMY NEIL
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: The formation and oxidation of transition metal nitrides and carbides is reviewed and the crystal structures and types of bonding are discussed. Types of nitrides and carbides are categorized in terms of physical and chemical properties and type of bonding. The principles of sintering are summarised. Tlie theory and applications of thermal analytical techniques are reviewed. Surface area determination and estimation of average crystallite size by the BET method utilizing the adsorption of nitrogen gas at -196 X are explained along with the application of x-ray dififractometry ajid scanning electron microscopy to work in this area. In this present research selected transition metal nitrides and carbides have been oxidised in air and carbon dioxide. Activation energies have been determined for these reactions from isothennal oxidations utilizing the Arrhenius equation and from oxidations at different heating rates utilizing the Kissinger equation. Kinetic schemes for the isothermal oxidations have been proposed based on two models of the reactions, that is half order kinetics in which the rate of reaction is determined by the diffijsion of oxidising gas througli the oxide product and two-thirds order kinetics in which the reaction takes place at the surface of a spherical particle of diminishing size as the reaction pioceeds. Surface area measurements and electron microscopy have been utilized to study the ability of the product formed during the oxidations to sinter. X-ray diffractometry has been used to identify the crystal phases present in the initial nitride or carbide and in the oxidation products. The activation energies of the carbides were found to be lower than that found for the respective nitrides. At low temperatures the carbides oxidised more extensively than the respective nitrides, but at high temperatures the situation was reversed. This is explained in terms of the difference in the preexponential term of the Arrhenius equation. Tlie kinetics were found to be dependent on whether the oxide produced was structurally compatible with the remaining reactant and whether the oxide produced was able to sinter at the temperature used in the experiment.

Da bcc Nickel bisher experimentell noch nicht ausreichend untersucht worden ist, sind einige der erhaltenen Resultate Voraussagen, die experimentell verifiziert werden können. Dies gilt für Details der Bandstruktur, die sich von der ebenfalls berechneten Bandstruktur in Dichtefunktionaltheorie unterscheiden, für die Topologie des Fermikörpers, der durch den Einfluss der Spin-Bahn-Kopplung verändert wird, und den orbitalen Anteil des magnetischen Momentes, der durch die Spin-Bahn-Kopplung induziert wird.

Covering Symmetric Sets of the Boolean Cube by Affine Hyperplanes

description: Alon and Füredi (European J. Combin., 1993) proved that any family of hyperplanes that covers every point of the Boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$ except one must contain at least $n$ hyperplanes. We obtain two extensions of this result, in characteristic zero, for hyperplane covers of symmetric sets of the Boolean cube (subsets that are closed under permutations of coordinates), as well as for `polynomial covers' of `weight-determined' sets of `strictly unimodal uniform' (SU$^2$) grids. As a main tool for solving our problems, we give a combinatorial characterization of (finite-degree) Zariski (Z-) closures of symmetric sets of the Boolean cube -- the Z-closure of a symmetric set is symmetric. In fact, we obtain a characterization that concerns, more generally, weight-determined sets of SU$^2$ grids. However, in this generality, our characterization is not of the Z-closures -- unlike over the Boolean cube, the Z-closure of a weight-determined set need not be weight-determined. We introduce a new closure operator exclusively for weight-determined sets -- the `(finite-degree) Z*-closure' -- defined to be the maximal weight-determined set in the Z-closure. (This coincides with the Z-closure over the Boolean cube, for symmetric sets.) We obtain a combinatorial characterization of the finite-degree Z*-closures of weight-determined sets of an SU$^2$ grid. This characterization may also be of independent interest. Indeed, as further applications, we (i) give an alternate proof of a lemma by Alon et al. (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 1988), and (ii) characterize the `certifying degrees' of weight-determined sets. Over the Boolean cube, our above characterization can also be derived using a result of Bernasconi and Egidi (Inf. Comput., 1999). However, our proof is independent of this result, works for all SU$^2$ grids, and could be regarded as being more combinatorial.

description: Let $G$ be a finite additive abelian group of odd order $n$, and let $G^*=G\setminus\{0\}$ be the set of non-zero elements. A starter for $G$ is a set $S=\{\{x_i,y_i\}:i=1,\ldots,\frac{n-1}{2}\}$ such that $\{x_1,\ldots,x_\frac{n-1}{2},y_1,\ldots,y_\frac{n-1}{2}\}=G^*$ and $\{\pm(x_i-y_i):i=1,\ldots,\frac{n-1}{2}\}=G^*$. Moreover, if $\left|\left\{x_i+y_i:i=1,\ldots,\frac{n-1}{2}\right\}\right|=\frac{n-1}{2}$, then $S$ is called a strong starter for $G$. A starter $S$ for $G$ is a $k$ quotient starter if there exists $Q\subseteq G^*$ of cardinality $k$ such that $y_i/x_i\in Q$ or $x_i/y_i\in Q$, for $i=1,\ldots,\frac{n-1}{2}$. In this paper, we give examples of two-quotient strong starters for $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $q=2^kt+1$ is a prime power with $k>1$ a positive integer and $t$ an odd integer greater than 1.

Subjects: subject: Systems and Control (eess.SY)
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: This paper describes the use of spatially-sparse inputs to influence global changes in the behavior of Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs). The dynamics of DMPs are analyzed through the framework of contraction theory as networked hierarchies of contracting or transversely contracting systems. Within this framework, sparsely-inhibited rhythmic DMPs (SI-RDMPs) are introduced to both inhibit or enable rhythmic primitives through spatially-sparse modification of the DMP dynamics. SI-RDMPs are demonstrated in experiments to manage start-stop transitions for walking experiments with the MIT Cheetah. New analytical results on the coupling of oscillators with diverse natural frequencies are also discussed.

description: On January 15th, 2022, social media and news reports emerged of booming and explosion noises throughout Aotearoa, caused by atmospheric pressure waves from the eruption of Hunga volcano, Tonga. Instrumental records from tidal gauges, DART buoys, meteorological stations and post-event damage surveys are being used to shape our understanding of the physical processes associated with the eruption and associated tsunami, such as pressure changes, acoustic signals and wave arrival times. To develop a more holistic understanding of this complex event and how it was experienced by or impacted communities, we designed a survey to capture insights and promote public engagement with science. We sought to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of sound and tsunami observations using crowdsourced geospatial data, allowing the public to participate and report experiences. An interdisciplinary team of social, volcano, and tsunami scientists from GNS Science deployed this survey online between January 21st and February 13th, 2022. Thirty-nine questions were posed to the public, asking about location, time, water colour, smells, damage to the built/natural environments and number of surges/booms observed. Respondents provided images and videos displaying impacted coastlines, flooded campgrounds, coastal erosion, unusual currents, and audio of booms. From this case study, we identify key lessons to improve crowdsourced data collection approaches for future hazardous events. These key lessons include using appropriate data collection methods to facilitate the intended use of the data, considering the ethical implications of collecting and sharing the data, and the technical requirements for sharing the data with various audiences.

description: Here, we study a level-set forced mean curvature flow with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We first show that the solution is Lipschitz in time and locally Lipschitz in space. Then, under an additional condition on the forcing term, we prove that the solution is globally Lipschitz. We obtain the large time behavior of the solution in this setting and study the large time profile in some specific situations. Finally, we give two examples demonstrating that the additional condition on the forcing term is sharp, and without it, the solution might not be globally Lipschitz.

description: Study of the Weyl and Dirac topological materials (topological semimetals, insulators, superfluids and superconductors) opens the route for the investigation of the topological quantum vacua of relativistic fields. The symmetric phase of the Standard Model (SM), where both electroweak and chiral symmetry are not broken, represents the topological semimetal. The vacua of the SM (and its extensions) in the phases with broken Electroweak symmetry represent the topological insulators of different types. We discuss in details the topological invariants in both symmetric and broken phases and establish their relation to the stability of vacuum.

description: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have steadily gained attention to overcome the harsh propagation loss and blockage issue of millimeter-wave communication. However, UAV communication systems suffer from energy consumption, which limits the flying time of UAVs. In this paper, we propose several UAV energy consumption minimization techniques through the aid of multiple intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs). In specific, we introduce a tractable model to effectively capture the characteristics of multiple IRSs and multiple user equipments (UEs). Then, we derive a closed form expression for the UE achievable rate, resulting in tractable optimization problems. Accordingly, we effectively solve the optimization problems by adopting the successive convex approximation technique. To compensate for the high complexity of the optimization problems, we propose a low complexity algorithm that has marginal performance loss. In the numerical results, we show that the proposed algorithms can save UAV energy consumption significantly compared to the benchmark with no IRSs, justifying that exploiting the IRSs is indeed favorable to UAV energy consumption minimization.

Dabei können Anknüpfungspunkte in der europäischen Rechtsetzung zu Gesundheit und Sicherheit bei der Arbeit sowie in der Kommissionsstrategie zur Qualität der Arbeit genutzt werden. Die neuen Rechte im Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz als Folge der europäischen Impulse sind nach wie vor nur sehr unzureichend in den Betrieben umgesetzt. Für die Gewerkschaften besteht ein großer betrieblicher Handlungsdruck, sich erneut auf dem Feld humaner Arbeitsgestaltung zu engagieren. Zentrale neue Gefährdungsbereiche wie die zunehmende Entgrenzung von Arbeitszeit und Leistung, der Wandel der Leistungsbedingungen für Ältere und die Prekarisierung sollen deshalb in einem Projekt Gute Arbeit aufgegriffen werden. Damit will die IG Metall auch einen eigenen profilierten Beitrag zur "Initiative für eine neue Qualität der Arbeit" der Bundesregierung erbringen, die konstruktiv und kritisch unterstützt wird.

description: This paper investigates the planning and operational processes of modern distribution networks (DNs) hosting Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). While in the past the two aspects have been distinct, a methodology is proposed in this paper to co-optimize the two phases by considering the operational flexibility offered by DERs already in the planning phase. By employing AC Optimal Power Flow (OPF) to analyse the worst-case forecasts for the load and distributed generator (DG) injection, the optimal set-points for the DERs are determined such that the network's security is ensured. From these results, the optimized individual characteristic curves are then extracted for each DER which are used in the operational phase for the local control of the devices. The optimized controls use only local measurements to address system-wide issues and emulate the OPF solution without any communication. Finally, the proposed methodology is tested on the Cigre LV benchmark grid confirming that it is successful in mitigating with acceptable violations over- and under-voltage problems, as well as congestion issues. Its performance is compared against the OPF-based approach and currently employed local control schemes.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Untersuchung von Turbulenz- und Wärmeflussmodellen für den industriellen Einsatz. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf der Wärmeübertragung in Flüssigmetallen, speziell von flüssigem Natrium. Flüssigmetalle zeichnen sich durch die hohe molekulare Wärmeleitfähigkeit aus, wodurch sie sich für den Einsatz in Wärmeübertragern eignen. Die vorliegenden Arbeit trägt dazu bei, die Abschätzung der Einsatzbereiche von Turbulenzmodellen in Abhängigkeit der gewählten Anfangs- und Randbedingungen zu verbessern. Hierfür wird zunächst eine ebene Plattenströmung mit beidseitig beheizten Wänden mit Hilfe der Turbulenz- und Wärmeflussmodellen bei Zwangskonvektion untersucht. Dabei liegt das Augenmerk auf der Fähigkeit, den globalen Wärmeübergang in das Fluid zu beschreiben. Im Anschluss werden die Modelle zur Beschreibung einer turbulenten Strömung bei unstetiger Kanalquerschnittsänderung untersucht. Dabei werden die Stufenhöhe und die Zuströmgeschwindigkeit variiert. Abschließend wird der Einfluss von Auftriebskräften auf die turbulente Strömung bei unstetiger Kanalquerschnittsänderung behandelt. Hierfür werden zwei ausgewählte Turbulenz und Wärmeübergangsmodelle herangezogen. Der Vergleich numerischer und experimenteller Daten zeigt, dass sich einfache Korrelationen zur Bestimmung der lokalen turbulenten Wärmediffusion eignen und diese eine bessere Vorhersage für das Temperaturfeld und den Wärmeübergang liefern als komplexe Zwei-Gleichungs-Modelle. Es zeigt sich jedoch, dass für die korrekte Beschreibung des Wärmeübergangs höherwertige, nichtlineare Modelle benötigt werden.

description: Annotated driving scenario trajectories are crucial for verification and validation of autonomous vehicles. However, annotation of such trajectories based only on explicit rules (i.e. knowledge-based methods) may be prone to errors, such as false positive/negative classification of scenarios that lie on the border of two scenario classes, missing unknown scenario classes, or even failing to detect anomalies. On the other hand, verification of labels by annotators is not cost-efficient. For this purpose, active learning (AL) could potentially improve the annotation procedure by including an annotator/expert in an efficient way. In this study, we develop a generic active learning framework to annotate driving trajectory time series data. We first compute an embedding of the trajectories into a latent space in order to extract the temporal nature of the data. Given such an embedding, the framework becomes task agnostic since active learning can be performed using any classification method and any query strategy, regardless of the structure of the original time series data. Furthermore, we utilize our active learning framework to discover unknown driving scenario trajectories. This will ensure that previously unknown trajectory types can be effectively detected and included in the labeled dataset. We evaluate our proposed framework in different settings on novel real-world datasets consisting of driving trajectories collected by Volvo Cars Corporation. We observe that active learning constitutes an effective tool for labelling driving trajectories as well as for detecting unknown classes. Expectedly, the quality of the embedding plays an important role in the success of the proposed framework.

description: This thesis will show that the critical reputations of film directors can be strongly influenced by historical and biographical accounts. These writings create symbolic reputations for film directors which is a key idea or expression about their work and lives. Often these reputations are based on poorly constructed historical accounts and apocryphal events. However, once entrenched, they can define both biographical and critical responses to a director. The way symbolic reputations are developed is political in the sense that it is the end result of a debate between different groups and individuals. Like any political debate, it is full of half-truths and distortions. This thesis will demonstrate that a positive symbolic reputation that emerges from any debate is pivotal in developing a good critical reputation, fostering further interest and study. A negative symbolic reputation can lead to neglect and dismissal. This thesis concludes that symbolic reputations play an essential role in defining the critical reception of a director and can even dictate the historical and biographical coverage of film directors. Specifically, it will show that the critical reputations of film directors Cecil B. DeMille, John Ford and Joseph L. Mankiewicz were affected by historical and biographical accounts of the Screen Directors Guild (SDG) meeting on 22 October 1950. The meeting now symbolises an effective stand by the directorial community against both the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities (HUAC) investigations and the McCarthy era. The historical coverage has also played a pivotal role in developing the image of the central players: DeMille, Ford and Mankiewicz. It will be shown that from this historical and biographical debate, Cecil B. DeMille has emerged as a McCarthyite figure with touches of anti-Semitism, John Ford has become a paragon of American virtue and Joseph L. Mankiewicz is depicted as a strong and committed liberal. This thesis argues that the historical basis of these symbolic reputations are inaccurate and based on false information derived from highly partisan sources. Therefore, it draws into question the critical judgments that have emerged from the historical coverage of the meeting.

description: Low-alloy steels are constituted of twenty-four variants of lath martensite that exhibit gradients of orientations from Kurdjumov-Sachs (KS) to Nishiyama-Wassermann (NW). They are structured into four packets on each of the common close-packed plane {111}fcc// {110}bcc; and each packet is composed of three blocks constituted by pairs of low-misoriented variants. The habit planes reported in literature for this type of martensite are {557}fcc, but it is not clear whether they correspond to the laths or to the blocks. In this paper, we present crystallographic calculations proving that the average of the two KS distortions associated with the variants in a block is exactly a NW distortion. A new method of averaging distortion matrices was introduced for this purpose. It is also shown that the {575}fcc planes are let untilted by this NW distortion, and are thus good theoretical candidates for the observed habit planes. The predicted {575}fcc planes, however, do not contain any of the common close-packed directions of the two variants in the block, which is in apparent contradiction with the current view. In order to clarify this point, some Electron BackScatter Diffraction (EBSD) maps were acquired on different low-carbon steels; the prior austenitic grains were automatically reconstructed and the traces of the habit planes predicted by the different models were analyzed and compared to the morphologies. This experimental work shows that {575}fcc planes are the habit plane of the blocks, and that the habit plane of one block often dominates the others, which impedes to discriminate the different models. The advantages of our model are its simplicity, the absence of fitting parameters, and the symmetric role played by the variants the blocks.

description: Many physical systems are composed of polyhedral cells of varying sizes and shapes. These structures are simple in the sense that no more than three faces meet at an edge and no more than four edges meet at a vertex. This means that individual cells can usually be considered as simple, three-dimensional polyhedra. This paper is concerned with determining the distribution of combinatorial types of such polyhedral cells. We introduce the terms \emph{fundamental} and \emph{vertex-truncated} types and apply these concepts to the grain growth microstructure as a testing ground. For these microstructures we demonstrate that most grains are of particular fundamental types, whereas the frequency of vertex-truncated types decreases exponentially with the number of truncations. This can be explained by the evolutionary process through which grain growth structures are formed, and in which energetically unfavorable surfaces are quickly eliminated. Furthermore, we observe that these grain types are `round' in a combinatorial sense: there are no `short' separating cycles that partition the polyhedra into two parts of similar sizes. A particular microstructure derived from the Poisson--Voronoi initial condition is identified as containing an unusually large proportion of round grains. This Round microstructure has an average of $14.036$ faces per grain, and is conjectured to be more resistant to topological change than the steady-state grain growth microstructure.

description: We investigate symmetric equilibria of mutual reinforcement learning when both players alternately learn the optimal memory-two strategies against the opponent in the repeated prisoners' dilemma game. We provide a necessary condition for memory-two deterministic strategies to form symmetric equilibria. We then provide three examples of memory-two deterministic strategies which form symmetric mutual reinforcement learning equilibria. We also prove that mutual reinforcement learning equilibria formed by memory-two strategies are also mutual reinforcement learning equilibria when both players use reinforcement learning of memory-$n$ strategies with $n>2$.

Deconstructing the Tower of London : resolution, alternatives and executive function

description: Although widely employed as an executive task, the performance demands of the Tower of London task (TOL) are not well understood. The aim of this Thesis is to determine what TOL measures and seven studies are included that illustrate its performance demands. Much of the work is experimental and TOL is explored via a novel verification paradigm in which participants make speeded judgements about whether a demonstrated move is optimal or suboptimal. The deconstruction of the task to the level of the individual move indicated that the number of moves until a disk was placed in its goal position (resolution) and the number of legal alternative moves there were predicted performance. When the task was reconstructed to its original form where complete problems were issued, these performance demands continued to predict planning time, execution time and accuracy. These demands were characterised as involving a depth search (resolution) and a breadth search (alternatives) of the problem space. Several studies included individual difference measureso r the dual-taskp aradigmt o determinet he cognitive processesth at were involved in performance.It was argued that spatial processes are involved to manipulate disks in memory and it was argued that the resolution demands were closely related to planning and the alternative move demands to inhibition. These performance characteristics are involved in many real world tasks and may elicit the deficits observed in clinical samples. One study was presented in which the performance of older adults was compared to younger adults. It was shown that older adults had a particular deficit in their ability to consider alternative moves; a similar TOL deficit might be observed in other dysexecutive populations. This thesis provides recommendations and guidelines for using TOL in research and stresses the importance of the items used on performance.

description: We investigate the effect of massive graviton on the holographic thermalization process. Before doing this, we first find out the generalized Vaidya-AdS solutions in the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity by directly solving the gravitational equations. Then, we study the thermodynamics of these Vaidya-AdS solutions by using the Minsner-Sharp energy and unified first law, which also shows that the massive gravity is in a thermodynamic equilibrium state. Moreover, we adopt the two-point correlation function at equal time to explore the thermalization process in the dual field theory, and to see how the graviton mass parameter affects this process from the viewpoint of AdS/CFT correspondence. Our results show that the graviton mass parameter will increase the holographic thermalization process.

description: We compute numerically the reheating temperature due to the gravitational production of conformally coupled superheavy particles during the phase transition from the end of inflation to the beginning of kination in two different Quintessential Inflation (QI) scenarios, namely Lorentzian Quintessential Inflation (LQI) and $α$-attractors in the context of Quintessential Inflation ($α$-QI). Once these superheavy particles have been created, they must decay into lighter ones to form a relativistic plasma, whose energy density will eventually dominate the one of the inflaton field in order to reheat after inflation our universe with a very high temperature, in both cases greater than $10^7$ GeV, contrary to the usual belief that heavy masses suppress the particle production and, thus, lead to an inefficient reheating temperature. Finally, we will show that the over-production of Gravitational Waves (GWs) during this phase transition, when one deals with our models, does not disturb the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) success.

description: Generative deep learning is powering a wave of new innovations in materials design. In this article, we discuss the basic operating principles of these methods and their advantages over rational design through the lens of a case study on refractory high-entropy alloys for ultra-high-temperature applications. We present our computational infrastructure and workflow for the inverse design of new alloys powered by these methods. Our preliminary results show that generative models can learn complex relationships in order to generate novelty on demand, making them a valuable tool for materials informatics.
