description: We study the effects of the effective range of interaction on the eigenvalues and eigenstates of two particles confined in a three-dimensional (3D) isotropic as well as one- or quasi-one dimensional harmonic (1D) traps. For this we employ model potentials which mimic finite-range s-wave interactions over a wide range of s-wave scattering length $a_s$ including the unitarity limits $a_s \rightarrow \pm\infty$. Our results show that when the range is larger than the 3D or 1D harmonic oscillator length scale, the eigenvalues and eigenstates are nearly similar to those of noninteracting two particles in the 3D or 1D trap, respectively. In case of 3D, we find that when the range goes to zero, the results of contact potential as derived by Busch {\it et al.} [Foundations of Physics, {\bf28}, 549 (1998)] are reproduced. However, in the case of 1D, such reproducibility does not occur as the range goes to zero. We have calculated the eigenvalues and eigenstates in 1D harmonic trap taking one-dimensional finite- range model potential. We have also calculated bound state properties of two particles confined in a highly anisotropic quasi-1D trap taking three-dimensional finite-range model potential, and examined whether these quasi-1D results approach towards 1D ones as the aspect ratio $η$ of the radial to axial frequency of the trap increases. We find that if the range is very small compared to the axial size of the trap, then one can reach 1D regime for $η\ge 10000$. However, for large range, one can nearly get 1D results for smaller values of $η$. This study will be important for exploration of two-body or many body physics of trapped ultracold atoms interacting with narrow Feshbach resonance for which the effective range can be large.
Measuring the Impact of Bicycle Marketing Messages

Year: 2013

description: 3,674 responses were received from a survey with several opinion questions on the four transportation modes: bicycle, car, bus and train. Seven different pictures representing marketing messages appeared in the survey. Each of the respondents saw only one picture. The picture was displayed twice on every page of the survey. Respondents were from major Danish cities. Opinions were found to depend on the picture shown, and average opinion scores did in many cases depend on the picture shown in a statistical significant way. A picture of a bicycle accident did increase the average opinion score of cyclists’ general risk as well as the respondents’ experienced self-risk when cycling. The average score of the experienced self-risk was notably lower than the average score of cyclists’ general risk. A picture of a smiling leisure cyclist did raise the average score of cycling experience (enjoyment) and did – to a greater extent – lower the average score of the experience (enjoyment) of the alternatives: car, bus and train. A picture of a bicycle accident and a picture of a cyclist wearing a helmet did raise the average opinion score of other transportation modes (car, bus, train) significantly. This indicates that typical bicycle safety messages has a negative marketing effect on cycling. Opinions on appearance of users of different transportation modes and whether a given transportation mode strengthens or hurts one’s image showed that cyclists are found to look better and that the bicycle gives a better image than any other transportation mode. Pictures also had an impact on opinions here, but the tendencies differed from the opinions on cycling experience, as a picture of a cyclist wearing a helmet did raise average opinion scores of appearance and image for cyclists. A final part of the survey asked directly for opinions on values related to the different pictures. The helmet picture scored higher on all opinions, even on comfort, than a picture of the same cyclist without a helmet. When asked directly respondents are thus in favor of bicycle helmets, but they seem to prefer not using helmets themselves. Further analysis of the data may give deeper insight into this paradox.

description: Analytic and approximate solutions for the energy eigenvalues generated by the hyperbolic potentials $V_m(x)=-U_0\sinh^{2m}(x/d)/\cosh^{2m+2}(x/d),\,m=0,1,2,\dots$ are constructed. A byproduct of this work is the construction of polynomial solutions for the confluent Heun equation along with necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such solutions based on the evaluation of a three-term recurrence relation. Very accurate approximate solutions for the general problem with arbitrary potential parameters are found by use of the {\it asymptotic iteration method}.

Year: 2013

description: Fysisk inaktivitet er en selvstændig faktor for udviklingen af forskellige civilisationssygdomme, herunder flere kræftformer (WHO, 2010; WCRF, 2012). For at få danskerne til at bevæge sig mere i en travl hverdag, er aktiv transport til og fra arbejde en relevant løsning på den stigende inaktivitet i den voksne befolkning (De Geus et al., 2007; Hendriksen, 2000; Oja et al., 2011; Wen & Rissel, 2010). Arbejdspladsen er en rele- vant arena for organisatoriske forandringer i forbindelse med forebyggelsesarbejdet. Formål Kræftens Bekæmpelse har i et samarbejde med fire virksomheder undersøgt, hvad arbejdspladsen kan gøre for at motivere medarbejderne til at cykle (mere) til arbejde. Metode Et indledende litteraturstudie og sparring med danske cykeleksperter dannede et overblik over eksisteren- de, effektive og bæredygtige cykelaktiviteter på arbejdspladser. Undersøgelsen bestod af en spørgeskema- undersøgelse blandt medarbejderne, kombineret med fokusgruppeinterview med udvalgte medarbejdere og feltstudier på arbejdspladserne. Resultater En temainddelt analyse resulterede i et katalog til hver arbejdsplads, med 3-5 anbefalinger for cykelfrem- mende aktiviteter til implementering. Anbefalingerne er rangeret efter medarbejdernes ønsker og motiva- tion for at cykle til arbejde, arbejdspladsens reelle mulighed for indsatsen samt den eksisterende viden om effekten af indsatserne. Resultaterne anvendes på arbejdspladserne ved at implementere mindst én af anbefalingerne i efteråret 2013. Konklusion Generelt er der stort potentiale i at fremme cykling på arbejdspladsen. Gennem simple og helhedsoriente- rede indsatser kan arbejdspladsen være med til at motivere medarbejderne til at vælge cyklen (mere) til. Perspektivering Der er behov for flere samarbejdsprojekter, hvor flere aktører går sammen om at anvende den viden, der findes om cykelfremme på arbejdspladsen. Ved at udnytte synergien mellem lignende projekter er det mu- ligt at flytte flere bilister over i cykelsadlen.

Year: 2013

description: This paper`s goal is to present findings of the research project titled Bikeability, funded by the Danish Research Council, concerning the investigation of how Urban Design interventions in consolidated urban areas can promote cycling – with a special focus on alterations in the urban fabric and design qualities of the streetscape. The research focuses on a bike infrastructure with a distinct typology: Hans Broges Gade in Aarhus where a dedicated bike lane function as an extension of a bicycle route linking the suburb to Aarhus Central Station. Based on the data collected and analyzed, it was possible to identify the design qualities of the intervention and the impacts of the intervention in the travel behavior of the cyclists. A conjugation of sources of data was used: questionnaires, interviews with key actors, visual analysis of the site, counting, etc. The findings highlight important factors such as the relevance of fast connectivity, the aesthetic value of the streetscape and the safety for cyclists. Therefore, these three qualities are strategic dimensions of a design solution that must be taken in consideration by architects, planners and engineers. Bridging research and policy, the findings of this research project can also support bike friendly design and planning, and cyclist advocacy.

Effects of inclined star-disk encounter on protoplanetary disk size

description: Most, if not all, young stars are initially surrounded by protoplanetary disks. Owing to the preferential formation of stars in stellar clusters, the protoplanetary disks around these stars may potentially be affected by the cluster environment. Various works have investigated the influence of stellar fly-bys on disks, although many of them consider only the effects due to parabolic, coplanar encounters often for equal-mass stars, which is only a very special case. We perform numerical simulations to study the fate of protoplanetary disks after the impact of parabolic star-disk encounter for the less investigated case of inclined up to coplanar, retrograde encounters, which is a much more common case. Here, we concentrate on the disk size after such encounters because this limits the size of the potentially forming planetary systems. In addition, with the possibilities that ALMA offers, now a direct comparison to observations is possible. Covering a wide range of periastron distances and mass ratios between the mass of the perturber and central star, we find that despite the prograde, coplanar encounters having the strongest effect on the disk size, inclined and even the least destructive retrograde encounters mostly also have a considerable effect, especially for close periastron passages. Interestingly, we find a nearly linear dependence of the disk size on the orbital inclination for the prograde encounters, but not for the retrograde case. We also determine the final orbital parameters of the particles in the disk such as eccentricities, inclinations, and semi-major axes. Using this information the presented study can be used to describe the fate of disks and also that of planetary systems after inclined encounters.

description: In this work we introduce the use of TiN/Ti2 N layers as a back contact for lifted-off membranes of anodic Ta3N5 nanotube layers. In photoelectrochemical H2 generation experiments under simulated AM 1.5G light, shift of the onset potential for anodic photocurrents to lower potentials is observed, as well as a higher magnitude of the photocurrents compared to conventional Ta3N5 nanotubes (~ 0.5 V RHE ). We ascribe this beneficial effect to the improved conductive properties of the TiNx -based back contact layer that enables a facilitated electron-transport for tantalum-nitride based materials to the conductive substrate.

A vision-based impedance control method is applied to a 7-degree-of-freedom (7-DOF) Franka Emika (FE) Panda robotic manipulator to complete pick-and-place tasks with human-like grasping of fruits. The interfaces between different hardware and the controller are developed using robotic operating system (ROS). You-Only-Look-Once (YOLOv5) object detection algorithm is trained for fruits and employed for capturing the location of the targeted objects. A qb-SoftHand robotic hand is used as the end-effector for the grasping tasks. By integrating these components together through ROS, the FE Panda robot successfully achieves autonomous human-like pick-and-place tasks as shown in the experimental results.

description: In sentiment analysis, the polarities of the opinions expressed on an object/feature are determined to assess the sentiment of a sentence or document whether it is positive/negative/neutral. Naturally, the object/feature is a noun representation which refers to a product or a component of a product, let us say, the "lens" in a camera and opinions emanating on it are captured in adjectives, verbs, adverbs and noun words themselves. Apart from such words, other meta-information and diverse effective features are also going to play an important role in influencing the sentiment polarity and contribute significantly to the performance of the system. In this paper, some of the associated information/meta-data are explored and investigated in the sentiment text. Based on the analysis results presented here, there is scope for further assessment and utilization of the meta-information as features in text categorization, ranking text document, identification of spam documents and polarity classification problems.

title: The Quality of the Student Experience of Higher Education: an investigation in Hong Kong
Creators: name: Armour, Richard
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2000

description: This work begins by examining the issue of quality in higher education. No universally agreed definition seems to exist. It is argued that the concept of the quality of higher education can only be expressed in terms of each of the different purposes of a university. The concept of the quality of the teaching and learning dimension of a university's mission is considered. It is then further argued that the quality of this dimension must be connected, in part at least, to the student experience and to students' learning outcomes. Various literatures on quality and quality assurance, students' approaches to learning and student engagement are explored. In order to explore this relationship between quality, the student experience and learning outcomes some empirical research was conducted in Hong Kong to address the following research questions which emerged and were refined through the review of the literature: What is the student experience of higher education in Hong Kong like (ie what are its qualities)?' 'How does the student experience affect learning outcomes?' The fieldwork was conducted by means of an adapted version of the North American survey instrument the 'College Students' Experience Questionnaire'. The instrument was adapted using a progressive Focus Group technique. The questionnaire was then administered to a representative sample of (5600) full time undergraduate students in all of the universities in Hong Kong. The results describe the student experience in Hong Kong. By using multiple regression techniques an exploration is made of the association between certain forms of engagement in university activities and learning outcomes. The results of these analyses are reported and the implications discussed. Finally some policy recommendations are made.

description: Connecting the collective behavior of disordered systems with local structure on the particle scale is an important challenge, for example in granular and glassy systems. Compounding complexity, in many scientific and industrial applications, particles are polydisperse, aspherical or even of varying shape. Here, we investigate a generalization of the classical kissing problem in order to understand the local building blocks of packings of aspherical grains. We numerically determine the densest local structures of uniaxial ellipsoids by minimizing the Set Voronoi cell volume around a given particle. Depending on the particle aspect ratio, different local structures are observed and classified by symmetry and Voronoi coordination number. In extended disordered packings of frictionless particles, knowledge of the densest structures allows to rescale the Voronoi volume distributions onto the single-parameter family of $k$-Gamma distributions. Moreover, we find that approximate icosahedral clusters are found in random packings, while the optimal local structures for more aspherical particles are not formed.

description: Ab initio total energy calculations show that the antiferromagnetic (111) order is not the ground state for the ideal CuMnSb Heusler alloy in contrast to the results of neutron diffraction experiments. It is known, that Heusler alloys usually contain various defects depending on the sample preparation. We have therefore investigated magnetic phases of CuMnSb assuming the most common defects which exist in real experimental conditions. The full-potential supercell approach and a Heisenberg model approach using the coherent potential approximation are adopted. The results of the total energy supercell calculations indicate that defects that bring Mn atoms close together promote the antiferromagnetic (111) structure already for a low critical defect concentrations ($\approx$ 3%). A detailed study of exchange interactions between Mn-moments further supports the above stabilization mechanism. Finally, the stability of the antiferromagnetic (111) order is enhanced by inclusion of electron correlations in narrow Mn-bands. The present refinement structure analysis of neutron scattering experiment supports theoretical conclusions.

description: NectarCAM is a camera proposed for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) which covers the core energy range of ~100 GeV to ~30 TeV. It has a modular design and is based on the NECTAr chip, at the heart of which is a GHz sampling Switched Capacitor Array and 12-bit Analog to Digital converter. The camera will be equipped with 265 7-photomultiplier modules, covering a field of view of 8 degrees. Each module includes photomultiplier bases, high voltage supply, pre-amplifier, trigger, readout and Ethernet transceiver. The recorded events last between a few nanoseconds and tens of nanoseconds. The expected performance of the camera are discussed. Prototypes of NectarCAM components have been built to validate the design. Preliminary results of a 19-module mini-camera are presented, as well as future plans for building and testing a full size camera.

description: The so-called Maryland model is a linear version of the quantum kicked rotor; it exhibits Anderson localization in momentum space. By turning the kicks into a Markovian stochastic process, the dynamics becomes a dissipative quantum process described by a discrete family of completely positive maps that allows to explicitly study the relation between divisibility of the maps and the degree of memory of the process.

description: Cluster concepts have been extremely useful in elucidating many problems in physics. Percolation theory provides a generic framework to study the behavior of the cluster distribution. In most cases the theory predicts a geometrical transition at the percolation threshold, characterized in the percolative phase by the presence of a spanning cluster, which becomes infinite in the thermodynamic limit. Standard percolation usually deals with the problem when the constitutive elements of the clusters are randomly distributed. However correlations cannot always be neglected. In this case correlated percolation is the appropriate theory to study such systems. The origin of correlated percolation could be dated back to 1937 when Mayer [1] proposed a theory to describe the condensation from a gas to a liquid in terms of mathematical clusters (for a review of cluster theory in simple fluids see [2]). The location for the divergence of the size of these clusters was interpreted as the condensation transition from a gas to a liquid. One of the major drawback of the theory was that the cluster number for some values of thermodynamic parameters could become negative. As a consequence the clusters did not have any physical interpretation [3]. This theory was followed by Frenkel's phenomenological model [4], in which the fluid was considered as made of non interacting physical clusters with a given free energy. This model was later improved by Fisher [3], who proposed a different free energy for the clusters, now called droplets, and consequently a different scaling form for the droplet size distribution. This distribution, which depends on two geometrical parameters, has the nice feature that the mean droplet size exhibits a divergence at the liquid-gas critical point.

description: We present an analysis of dust properties of a sample of close major-merger galaxy pairs selected by K_s magnitude and redshift. The pairs represent the two populations of spiral-spiral (S+S) and mixed morphology spiral-elliptical (S+E). The CIGALE (Code Investigating GALaxy Emission) is used to fit dust models to the 2MASS, WISE and Herschel flux density measurements and derive the parameters describing the PAH contribution, interstellar radiation field (ISRF) and photo-dissociation regions (PDRs). Model fits verify our previous Spitzer Space Telescope analysis that S+S and S+E pairs do not have the same level of enhancement of star formation and differ in dust composition. The spirals of mixed morphology galaxy pairs do not exhibit the enhancements in interstellar radiation field and therefore dust temperature for spirals in S+S pairs in contrast to what would be expected according to standard models of gas redistribution due to encounter torques. This suggests the importance of the companion environment/morphology in determining the dust properties of a spiral galaxy in a close major-merger pair.

With the invention of moveable type in the middle of the fifteenth century, books were printed on paper and in unlimited quantity. These books printed before 1501, known as "incunabula", imitated the forms of contemporary manuscripts. Since readers were accustomed to the decoration of manuscripts, coloured initials were added to the printed page by hand.'

An Empirically grounded Agent Based simulator for the Air Traffic Management in the SESAR scenario

description: In this paper we present a simulator allowing to perform policy experiments relative to the air traffic management. Different SESAR solutions can be implemented in the model to see the reaction of the different stakeholders as well as other relevant metrics (delays, safety, etc). The model describes both the strategic phase associated to the planning of the flight trajectories and the tactical modifications occurring in the en-route phase. An implementation of the model is available as open-source and freely accessible by any user. More specifically, different procedures related to business trajectories and free-routing are tested and we illustrate the capabilities of the model on airspace implementing these concepts. After performing numerical simulations with the model, we show that in a free-routing scenario the controllers perform less operations although they are dispersed over a larger portion of the airspace. This can potentially increase the complexity of conflict detection and resolution for controllers. In order to investigate this specific aspect, we consider some metrics used to measure traffic complexity. We first show that in non-free-routing situations our simulator deals with complexity in a way similar to what humans would do. This allows us to be confident that the results of our numerical simulations relative to the free-routing can reasonably forecast how human controllers would behave in this new situation. Specifically, our numerical simulations show that most of the complexity metrics decrease with free-routing, while the few metrics which increase are all linked to the flight level changes. This is a non-trivial result since intuitively the complexity should increase with free-routing because of problematic geometries and more dispersed conflicts over the airspace.

description: Using HST slitless grism data, we report the spectroscopic confirmation of two distant structures at $z \sim 2$ associated with powerful high-redshift radio-loud AGN. These rich structures, likely (forming) clusters, are among the most distant currently known and were identified on the basis of Spitzer/IRAC [3.6] - [4.5] color. We spectroscopically confirm 9 members in the field of MRC 2036-254, comprising eight star-forming galaxies and the targeted radio galaxy. The median redshift is $z = 2.000$. We spectroscopically confirm 10 members in the field of B3 0756+406, comprising eight star-forming galaxies and two AGN, including the targeted radio-loud quasar. The median redshift is $z = 1.986$. All confirmed members are within 500 kpc (1 arcmin) of the targeted AGN. We derive median (mean) star-formation rates of $\sim 35~M_{\odot}\rm ~ yr^{-1}$ ($\sim 50~M_{\odot}\rm ~ yr^{-1}$) for the confirmed star-forming members of both structures based on their [OIII]$\lambda5007$ luminosities, and estimate average galaxy stellar masses $\lesssim 1 \times 10^{11} ~M_{\odot}$ based on mid-infrared fluxes and SED modeling. Most of our confirmed members are located above the star-forming main-sequence towards starburst galaxies, consistent with clusters at these early epochs being the sites of significant levels of star formation. The structure around MRC 2036-254 shows an overdensity of IRAC-selected candidate galaxy cluster members consistent with being quiescent galaxies, while the structure around B3 0756+406 shows field values, albeit with many lower limits to colors that could allow an overdensity of faint red quiescent galaxies. The structure around MRC 2036-254 shows a red sequence of passive galaxy candidates.
