description: Collective or group intelligence is manifested in the fact that a team of cooperating agents can solve problems more efficiently than when those agents work in isolation. Although cooperation is, in general, a successful problem solving strategy, it is not clear whether it merely speeds up the time to find the solution, or whether it alters qualitatively the statistical signature of the search for the solution. Here we review and offer insights on two agent-based models of distributed cooperative problem-solving systems, whose task is to solve a cryptarithmetic puzzle. The first model is the imitative learning search in which the agents exchange information on the quality of their partial solutions to the puzzle and imitate the most successful agent in the group. This scenario predicts a very poor performance in the case imitation is too frequent or the group is too large, a phenomenon akin to Groupthink of social psychology. The second model is the blackboard organization in which agents read and post hints on a public blackboard. This brainstorming scenario performs the best when there is a stringent limit to the amount of information that is exhibited on the board. Both cooperative scenarios produce a substantial speed up of the time to solve the puzzle as compared with the situation where the agents work in isolation. The statistical signature of the search, however, is the same as that of the independent search.

description: We present an electromagnet combining a large number of windings in a constrained volume with efficient cooling. It is based on bulk copper where a small pitch spiral is cut out and impregnated with epoxy, forming an ensemble which is then machined at will to maximize the use of the available volume. Water cooling is achieved in parallel by direct contact between coolant and the copper windings. A pair of such coils produces magnetic fields suitable for exploiting the broad Feshbach resonance of $^6$Li at 832.2 G. It offers a compact and cost-effective solution for quantum gas experiments.

description: Rare $b$ decay processes are analyzed in the multi-Higgs doublet model. Taking account of the constraint from the $b\to s γ$ process, the branching ratio and the forward-backward asymmetry of the final leptons for the $b\to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ process are calculated. It is shown that the branching ratio can be a few times larger than the standard model prediction and the asymmetry can be significantly different from that in the standard model. Combining these observable quantities it is possible to determine complex coupling constants associated with the charged Higgs mixing matrix. The CP violating charge asymmetry in the $b\to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ process and the branching ratio of the $b\to s ν\barν$ process are also calculated.

Ability/possibility and stativity: Where is voice?
Creators: name: Samioti, Panagiota
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2016
Subjects: ability; possibility; stativity; dispositional Middle voice; Generic operator; adjectival participles

description: Τhis paper focuses on adjectival ability/possibility -tos participles in Greek. It is observed that they come from stative structures. Apart from stativity and modality, it is noted that they have more common properties with verbal dispositional Middle voice, such as genericity, arguments’ order, demotion of the agent and emphasis on the dispositional properties of the grammatical subject. Thus, it is suggested that they contain in their structure a Middle voice head, which licenses a generic agent with no control of the action, merged with a Generic operator. Crosslinguistic evidence confirms that ability/possibility meaning arises from stative structures and that ability/possibility structures share the same properties with dispositional Middle.

description: We propose a novel methodology to select host galaxy candidates of future pulsar timing array (PTA) detections of resolved gravitational waves (GWs) from massive black hole binaries (MBHBs). The method exploits the physical dependence of the GW amplitude on the MBHB chirp mass and distance to the observer, together with empirical MBH mass-host galaxy correlations, to rank potential host galaxies in the mass-redshift plane. This is coupled to a null-stream based likelihood evaluation of the GW amplitude and sky position in a Bayesian framework that assigns to each galaxy a probability of hosting the MBHB generating the GW signal. We test our algorithm on a set of realistic simulations coupling the likely properties of the first PTA resolved GW signal to synthetic all-sky galaxy maps. For a foreseeable PTA sky-localization precision of 100 squared degrees, we find that the GW source is hosted with 50% (90%) probability within a restricted number of <50 (<500) potential hosts. These figures are orders of magnitude smaller than the total number of galaxies within the PTA sky error-box, enabling extensive electromagnetic follow-up campaigns on a limited number of targets.

Year: 2016
Subjects: hearing impairment; intelligibility; acoustics; segmental and suprasegmental errors; qualitative analysis

description: Hearing-impaired speech presents a number of characteristics deviating from normal, which concern both the segmental level, i.e. vowel and consonant errors, and the suprasegmental level, i.e. stress, intonation, resonance, voice quality etc. Errors on both levels can compromise speech intelligibility, that is, the ability of being understood. The current paper presents a qualitative analysis of the main segmental and suprasegmental errors observed in the speech of 10 Greek adult speakers with profound prelingual hearing impairment and of various intelligibility levels. Audio files and/or spectrographic displays, useful to clinicians, teachers and researchers, are provided to illustrate the above features and to help clarify acoustic measurement issues pertaining to the acoustic analysis of hearing-impaired speech.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In five large marine ecosystem (LME) modules, one of the keys is bioproductivity. The Norwegian Sea and Iceland Shelf LMEs are referred to as highly productive Arctic shelf areas; the Chukchi Sea, Bering Sea, Faroe Plateau, and southwestern Barents Sea are classed as areas with moderately high productivity. The rest of the Arctic water areas are considered as having low productivity. Based on the results of MMBI cruises on board the nuclear icebreakers, the functioning of the detritus trophic chain in the Barents and Kara Seas coastal zones during the polar night has been determined. Bacterioplankton in the season is the only food substrate for zooplankton organisms before the development of cryoflora vegetation. The productivity of key links in the plankton trophic chain for the Barents, White, Kara, and Laptev Seas weakens towards the eastern Siberian Sea. According to our data, zoobenthos productivity depends on inner secular climate fluctuations and the succession stages of bottom communities. Somatic production in coastal areas is approximately 2–3 times higher than in the open Barents Sea. The Barents Sea coastal bottom biocenoses production rates yield to the Sea of Okhotsk and North Sea, but are close to the Bering Sea indices. Until recently, only tentative production values (production to biomass (P/B) coefficient) of 0.125–0.170 were applied to the Barents Sea fish. Our research indicates they are significantly higher and are from 0.3 to 1.0 for the Barents and White Seas cod, deep‐water redfish (perch), and Arctic cod. Determined values and regularities are of theoretic and practical importance and may improve methods of forecasting ecosystems and the selection of optimal ways in which to exploit marine bioresources.

description: The microquasar SS 433 is the only known steady supercritical accretor in the Galaxy. It is well-known for its relativistic baryonic jets, but the system also drives equatorial outflows. These have been routinely detected in radio images, and components associated with a circumbinary disk have also been suggested in optical emission lines. We wish to spatially resolve the regions producing the stationary emission lines of SS 433 to shed light on its circumbinary structure and outflows. With an estimated binary orbit size $\lesssim 0.1 \text{ mas}$, this requires optical interferometry. We use the optical interferometer VLTI+GRAVITY to spatially resolve SS 433 in the near-infrared K band at high spectral resolution ($R\approx 4000$) on three nights in July 2017. The stationary Br$γ$ line is clearly dominated by an extended $\sim 1 \text{ mas} \sim 5 \text{ AU}$ circumbinary structure perpendicular to the jets and with a strong rotation component. The rotation direction is retrograde relative to the jet precession, in accordance with the slaved disk precession model. The structure has a very high specific angular momentum and is too extended to be a stable circumbinary disk in Keplerian rotation; interpreting it as such leads to a very high enclosed mass $M \gtrsim 400 M_{\odot}$. We instead interpret it as the centrifugal ejection of the circumbinary disk, with the implication that there must be an efficient transfer of specific angular momentum from the binary to the disk. We suggest that the equatorial outflows sometimes seen in radio images result from similar episodes of circumbinary disk centrifugal ejection. In addition to the equatorial structure, we find a very extended $\sim 6 \text{ mas} \sim 30 \text{ AU}$ spherical wind component to the Br$γ$ line: the entire binary is engulfed in an optically thin spherical line emission envelope.

description: This paper is an introduction to natural language interfaces to databases (NLIDBs). A brief overview of the history of NLIDBs is first given. Some advantages and disadvantages of NLIDBs are then discussed, comparing NLIDBs to formal query languages, form-based interfaces, and graphical interfaces. An introduction to some of the linguistic problems NLIDBs have to confront follows, for the benefit of readers less familiar with computational linguistics. The discussion then moves on to NLIDB architectures, portability issues, restricted natural language input systems (including menu-based NLIDBs), and NLIDBs with reasoning capabilities. Some less explored areas of NLIDB research are then presented, namely database updates, meta-knowledge questions, temporal questions, and multi-modal NLIDBs. The paper ends with reflections on the current state of the art.

description: We examine a vowel assimilation process attested in a group of Asia Minor Greek dialects which superficially looks like vowel harmony. We propose, however, that vowel assimilation is actually a feature spreading process actualizing a reanalysis in the nominal inflection, which was facilitated by the language contact with Turkish. More specifically, it signals a ‘new’ stem formation, in which the theme vowel of the ending or the whole ending loses its status as a constituent and incorporates into the stem. Vowel assimilation is not attested in agglutinative inflection because in this case the ‘new’ status of the theme vowel or of the old ending as part of the stem is morphologically transparent.

description: Robots are increasingly used to carry out critical missions in extreme environments that are hazardous for humans. This requires a high degree of operational autonomy under uncertain conditions, and poses new challenges for assuring the robot's safety and reliability. In this paper, we develop a framework for probabilistic model checking on a layered Markov model to verify the safety and reliability requirements of such robots, both at pre-mission stage and during runtime. Two novel estimators based on conservative Bayesian inference and imprecise probability model with sets of priors are introduced to learn the unknown transition parameters from operational data. We demonstrate our approach using data from a real-world deployment of unmanned underwater vehicles in extreme environments.

description: The quasiparticle energy spectrum of an isolated vortex in a clean layered d-wave superconductor is calculated. The Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations are solved perturbatively, within the model of step-variation of the gap function, adjusting the Caroli, de Gennes and Matricon approach for low-lying excitations in cuprates. A large peak in the density of states in a "pancake" vortex is found, as a consequence of two-dimensionality and strong coupling.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We constructed a Bayesian spatial model to estimate fish abundances in a pelagial multispecies environment. Concurrent acoustic and trawl survey data attached to environmental variables are used to predict acoustic signal strengths, relative abundance of different species, and their mean length for the whole area of interest. Combining these three predictions, we can estimate the total biomass for each species. The model comprises a linear predictor on environmental variables and spatial random effect given by a Gaussian process. The Bayesian approach is optimal in problems like this where a model is multilayered and uncertainty accumulates in the final biomass estimate. We apply the model to a case study in the Gulf of Finland (GoF) located in the eastern Baltic Sea. Three species dominate the pelagic waters: sprat (Sprattus sprattus), herring (Clupea harengus), and three‐spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus). We present the results of each model layer, the resulting biomass distribution in a 2 km × 2 km lattice, and the total biomass in the GoF for each species in June 2004. The posterior mean of the total biomass of sprat was ca. 45 000 t, of herring ca. 25 000 t, and of three‐spined stickleback ca. 2000 t. Total biomass of all species with 95% probability was between 50 000 and 90 000 t.
Quantitative Analysis of Energy Security and Environmental Sustainability Using Dynamic Multi-Sector Energy Economic Model

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: As energy demand grows at a faster rate in developing regions, energy security and environmental sustainability become issues of concern. The transition from traditional fuels to modern forms of energy requires huge infrastructure development and poses greater financial risk at the same time. In this study, we analyse the long-term energy growth scenario of one of the fastest developing regions of the world, Bangladesh using a dynamic multi-sector energy economic model. We also evaluate the interrelation between energy consumption and environmental emission by imposing different emission limits as per national commitments and international agreements. The social implications and optimal power generation mix for different policy scenarios have been investigated.

We lay out the main proposals put forth in the literature so far and we spot a couple of inconsistencies in Kotzoglou’s (2005, 2006) proposal. We, then, note how Chomsky’s (2013, 2015) model of projection might help explain both aspects of the phenomenon, i.e. the lack of T-to-C movement and the adjacency between the fronted wh-phrase and T.

Beyond existing prosodic dichotomies: Perception of aesthetic prosodic properties of speech and music in a right-hemisphere stroke patient

Year: 2019
Subjects: prosody, emotion, music, auditory processing, right hemisphere damage

description: Speech and music processing impairments have been studied in parallel through the investigation of atomistic features such as pitch and duration and gestalt aspects of emotion. The present study explores another holistic dimension of speech and music prosody here termed ‘expressiveness.’ Novel tasks were designed to investigate whether such hitherto unexplored prosodic aspects of speech and music display processing differences. Five perceptual judgement tasks were employed, two of which involved music and speech stimuli manipulations of ‘expressiveness’. Effort was made to maintain more of their natural acoustic complexity, avoiding manipulations which derive music-like stimuli from speech tokens to artificially match items. We examined the performance of IB, an individual who had a right temporo-parietal lesion with frontal extension and compared his performance with 24 neurotypical controls on these prosodic judgements. IB’s performance was found to be comparable to that of neurotypical controls on a perceptual discrimination task of ‘expressive music prosody’, outperforming one-third of them, whereas he displayed severely impaired performance on ‘expressive speech prosody’. These results suggest that some prosodic elements may be perceived differently across the domains of language and music. Based on other inter-task comparisons, it is also proposed that the interplay among prosodic features such as loudness and duration might lead to different holistic processing between emotional prosody and ‘expressive’ prosodic qualities in the speech domain. Inevitably, the current work only provides preliminary evidence and future research with more patients sharing a lesion profile similar to that of IB is warranted.

description: This ethnomethodological study combines CA and MCA to explore the social practices of predicating and evaluating real instances of (non-)linguistic im/politeness, witnessably produced by (Greek) members in a variety of contexts. It locates category-bound predicates that the incumbents themselves invoke or are imputed to them by others, as instances of first-order (im)politeness (Watts 2003) or (im)politeness1 (Eelen 2001). As depositories of common-sense knowledge, MCDs/categories offer a glimpse of the native practices/concepts of im/politeness, but are indexically and occasionedly accomplished by members, consonantly with their mutual accountability and the ‘moral order’ of society (Garfinkel 2002).

description: We show that supersymmetry is anomalous in ${\cal N}=1$ superconformal quantum field theories (SCFTs) with an anomalous R-symmetry. This anomaly was originally found in holographic SCFTs at strong coupling. Here we show that this anomaly is present in general and demonstrate it for the massless superconformal Wess-Zumino model via a one loop computation. The anomaly appears first in four-point functions of two supercurrents with either two R-currents or with an R-current and an energy momentum tensor. In fact, the Wess-Zumino consistency conditions together with the standard R-symmetry anomaly imply the existence of the anomaly. We outline the implications of this anomaly.

Renormalization of earthquake aftershocks

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Together with the Gutenberg-Richter distribution of earthquake magnitudes, Omori's law is the best established empirical characterization of earthquake sequences and states that the number of smaller earthquakes per unit time triggered by a main shock decays approximately as the inverse of the time ($1/t^p$, with $p \approx 1$) since the main shock. Based on these observations, we explore the theoretical hypothesis in which each earthquake can produce a series of aftershock independently of its size according to its ``local'' Omori's law with exponent $p=1+θ$. In this scenario, an aftershock of the main shock produces itself other aftershocks which themselves produce aftershocks, and so on. The global observable Omori's law is found to have two distinct power law regimes, the first one with exponent $p_-=1 - θ$ for time $t < t^* \sim κ^{-1/θ}$, where $0<1-κ<1$ measures the fraction of triggered earthquakes per triggering earthquake, and the second one with exponent $p_+=1 + θ$ for larger times. The existence of these two regimes rationalizes the observation of Kisslinger and Jones [1991] that the Omori's exponent $p$ seems positively correlated to the surface heat flow: a higher heat flow is a signature of a higher crustal temperature, which leads to larger strain relaxation by creep, corresponding to fewer events triggered per earthquake, i.e. to a larger $κ$, and thus to a smaller $t^*$, leading to an effective measured exponent more heavily weighted toward $p_+>1$.

description: In this paper, we study the correlation between isotropic energy and duration of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for the first time. The correlation is found to be $T_d \propto {E_{iso}}^{0.34\pm 0.03}$ from the {\em Swift} GRB sample. After comparing with solar flares from {\em RHESSI} and stellar superflares from {\em Kepler} satellite, we find that the correlation of GRBs shows similar exponent with those of solar flares and stellar superflares. Inspired by the physical mechanism of solar flares and stellar superflares which is magnetic reconnection, we interpret the correlation using magnetic reconnection theory. This similarity hints that magnetic reconnection may dominate energy releasing process of GRBs.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Eutrophication is a big problem not only for the Baltic, which is a semi‐enclosed sea, but also for many other coastal and shelf sites in the world. There are a variety of methods for estimating the extent of eutrophication. One of the most popular is the determination of chlorophyll a in seawater as a biomass marker. However, this parameter changes significantly in time and space. Determination of chlorophyll a and its derivatives in sediments gives results averaged in time for an area. Multi‐annual chloropigment data for recent and old sediment samples collected from different sites in the southern Baltic related to environmental conditions indicate that the contents and proportion of individual chloropigments a in sediments depend on primary production, sedimentation rate, grazing, oxygen content, and post‐depositional and hydrodynamic conditions, resulting from, among other factors, climate change. These results were verified on sediments from different coastal sites, including the Mediterranean (Venice Lagoon) and Atlantic Ocean (Scotland coast and Florida coast). It can be concluded that the sum of chloropigments a in bottom sediments, collected from a properly selected site, is a good and quantitative marker of eutrophication for an area. The percentage of particular chlorophyll derivatives in the sum depend on different abiotic and biotic factors, which are characteristic for a given location.

description: This article develops the question of the contribution of wordless narratives in foreign language teaching and the effective use of image in speech improvement and semantic competence. In particular, the interest of this work focuses on how wordless picturebooks promote the development of the semantic competence of students as independent and competent users of a foreign language and, at the same time, how a wordless narrative can contribute to the development of literacy. In the context of this problematic, we will examine the contribution of wordless picturebooks to control the organization of meaning according to the three levels of reading (denotation, connotation, interpretation), as well as the development of related teaching activities enhancing understanding and interpretation skills and improving production skills.

Photosynthesis on habitable planets around low-mass stars

description: We show that planets around M-dwarfs with $M_\star \lesssim 0.2 M_\odot$ may not receive enough photons in the photosynthetically active range of $400$-$750$ nm to sustain Earth-like biospheres. As a result of the lower biological productivity, it is likely that biotic molecular oxygen would not build up to detectable levels in the atmospheres of habitable planets orbiting low-mass stars, consistent with prior work by Lehmer et al. (2018). We also estimate the minimum flaring rate for sustaining biospheres with Earth-like productivity and permitting the build-up of atmospheric oxygen, and find that the overwhelming majority of M-dwarfs are unlikely to exceed this threshold.

Scalar tau Signal at LEP 2 in models with Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking

description: In theories with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, the scalar tau, (${\tilde τ_1}$) is the lightest observable superpartner for part of the parameter space. At LEP 2, the production of such a $\tilde τ_1$ pair and their subsequent decays give rise to a pair of $τ$ leptons plus missing energy from the unobserved gravitinos. The angular distributions of the $τ$'s are different from those arising from the production and decay of W pairs, and thus will constitute an interesting signal for supersymmetry. We also consider ${\tilde τ_1}$ pair production in the complementary part of parameter space where the lightest neutralino is lighter than the $\tilde τ_1$.

Redundancy in Collaborative Dialogue

description: In dialogues in which both agents are autonomous, each agent deliberates whether to accept or reject the contributions of the current speaker. A speaker cannot simply assume that a proposal or an assertion will be accepted. However, an examination of a corpus of naturally-occurring problem-solving dialogues shows that agents often do not explicitly indicate acceptance or rejection. Rather the speaker must infer whether the hearer understands and accepts the current contribution based on indirect evidence provided by the hearer's next dialogue contribution. In this paper, I propose a model of the role of informationally redundant utterances in providing evidence to support inferences about mutual understanding and acceptance. The model (1) requires a theory of mutual belief that supports mutual beliefs of various strengths; (2) explains the function of a class of informationally redundant utterances that cannot be explained by other accounts; and (3) contributes to a theory of dialogue by showing how mutual beliefs can be inferred in the absence of the master-slave assumption.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The majority of harmful compounds are hydrophobic and concentrate in the finest fraction of sediments. On the basis of seawater analysis, it can be stated that pollution levels in the environment are negligible, but results of sediment analysis may indicate a real threat to biota. Monitoring of sediments collected at carefully selected sites and times gives information on average contamination of the whole basin. This may be a cheaper, quicker and more representative method for characterizing an area than water monitoring. From an analysis of the sediment depth profiles of contaminants, one can get information about trends in the past. Correlation with different environmental parameters can give a large amount of information on processes going on in the environment. All these can be illustrated by examples of contaminant results for the Gulf of Gdańsk sediments (PCBs, PAHs, OTs) related to environmental conditions. The Gulf of Gdańsk, a part of the southern Baltic Sea, is a basin under strong anthropopression (emissions from the Tricity agglomeration, inflow of the Wisła River, collecting water from over half of Poland). High freshwater input decreases salinity in the Gulf and causes seawater stratification. Because of limited vertical mixing and saline water exchange only through the Danish Straits, the Deep of Gdańsk suffers from hypoxia/anoxia. All these and negligible tides make the area an exceptional model basin for studies of contaminant biogeochemistry in the sea. On that basis conclusions were drawn concerning the sources and fates of the main organic compounds in the Gulf and their indicators for this environment are proposed.
Conceptualizing the world as ‘female’ or ‘male’: Further remarks on grammatical gender and speakers’ cognition

description: Experimental research on grammatical gender and cognition provides evidence for grammatical gender effects on various aspects of speakers’ cognition. Some researchers argue that such effects are limited to languages with a two-gender system. Other studies, however, find that the grammatical category of gender impacts on cognition also in languages with a three-gender system. Based on a sex attribution task, the present paper examines the relationship between grammatical gender and cognition in two languages with a three-gender system, Greek and German, and aligns with the second group of studies. The overall results are discussed in the light of previous research from a critical perspective.

description: We analyzed the stability of the uniform flow solution in the optimal velocity model for traffic and granular flow under the open boundary condition. It was demonstrated that, even within the linearly unstable region, there is a parameter region where the uniform solution is stable against a localized perturbation. We also found an oscillatory solution in the linearly unstable region and its period is not commensurate with the periodicity of the car index space. The oscillatory solution has some features in common with the synchronized flow observed in real traffic.
