description: The COGITO Process Modelling and Simulation (PMS) module presented in this document represents a comprehensive ecosystem of applications and microservices provided as Software as a Service (SaaS). This module facilitates the definition of construction processes through a template-oriented approach, promoting reusability and simplification. Continuous process optimization and refinement are enabled through forward-looking simulation and real-time execution monitoring.

Key components of the COGITO PMS module include:

Modelling component: Allows the definition of construction processes, incorporating resources, metrics, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as well as linkage to Building Information Models (BIM) data derived from the COGITO Digital Twin Platform (DTP).

Sandbox Experiment component: Provides a collaborative environment for stakeholders to reason over processes, test digitization strategies, and execute processes in a simulated construction site, generating sample log data for early testing.

Simulation and Optimisation components: Introduce algorithms to check conformance with expected times and costs, detect inconsistencies, and optimize processes to minimize time and cost.

Microservice Integration component: Handles interactions between different components and required services, facilitating data exchange across PMS internal components and other COGITO modules.

Integration test and pre-validation site use cases, relevant to the construction of a railway track, are demonstrated to showcase the functionality of all PMS components. Use case models are defined, tested in the Sandbox Experiment, simulated, and optimized accordingly, demonstrating the effectiveness and applicability of the COGITO PMS module in real-world scenarios.

description: Binary Moment Diagrams (BMDs) provide a canonical representations for linear functions similar to the way Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) represent Boolean functions. Within the class of linear functions, we can embed arbitrary functions from Boolean variables to integer values. BMDs can thus model the functionality of data path circuits operating over word-leveldata. Many important functions, including integer multiplication, that cannot be represented efficiently at the bit level with BDDs have simple representations at the word level with BMDs. Furthermore,BMDs can represent Boolean functions with around the same complexity as BDDs. We propose a hierarchical approach to verifying arithmetic circuits, where component modulesare firstshownto implement their word-level specifications. The overall circuit functionality is thenverified by composing the component functions and comparing the result to the word-level circuit specification. Multipliers with word sizes of up to 256 bits have been verified by this technique.

description: We report Raman scattering spectra for single crystals of overdoped Tl2Ba2CuO6+d (Tl-2201) at low temperatures. It was observed that the pair-breaking peaks in A1g and B1g spectra radically shift to lower energy with carrier doping. We interpret it as s-wave component mixing into d-wave, although the crystal structure is tetragonal. Since similar phenomena were observed also in YBa2Cu3Oy and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oz, we conclude that s-wave mixing is a common property for overdoped high-Tc superconductors.

description: We propose an end-to-end architecture for joint 2D and 3D human pose estimation in natural images. Key to our approach is the generation and scoring of a number of pose proposals per image, which allows us to predict 2D and 3D poses of multiple people simultaneously. Hence, our approach does not require an approximate localization of the humans for initialization. Our Localization-Classification-Regression architecture, named LCR-Net, contains 3 main components: 1) the pose proposal generator that suggests candidate poses at different locations in the image; 2) a classifier that scores the different pose proposals; and 3) a regressor that refines pose proposals both in 2D and 3D. All three stages share the convolutional feature layers and are trained jointly. The final pose estimation is obtained by integrating over neighboring pose hypotheses, which is shown to improve over a standard non maximum suppression algorithm. Our method recovers full-body 2D and 3D poses, hallucinating plausible body parts when the persons are partially occluded or truncated by the image boundary. Our approach significantly outperforms the state of the art in 3D pose estimation on Human3.6M, a controlled environment. Moreover, it shows promising results on real images for both single and multi-person subsets of the MPII 2D pose benchmark and demonstrates satisfying 3D pose results even for multi-person images.

Thriving through Uncertainties: The Agency and Resourcefulness of First-Year Chinese English as an Additional Language Writers in a Canadian University
Creators: name: Mao, Jing
Publisher: name: BC TEAL Journal
Year: 2021

description: Amidst the increased enrolment of international Chinese English as an additional language (EAL) students in North American universities, scholars have reported on their academic and social experiences in navigating English-medium studies (e.g., Liu, 2016; Zhang & Zhou, 2010). Although informative, some studies focus on EAL learners’ perceived deficient language proficiencies, and how these deficits can negatively impact their academic success. In contrast to studies based on deficit models, this study argues that participants exhibit agency as evidenced in their responses to challenges encountered in and changes to their perceptions of and practices in academic writing. Employing an ecological perspective and (second) language socialization theories (Duff, 2010, 2019; van Lier, 2004, 2008), this qualitative case study examined how six first-year Chinese EAL learners enacted their agency and resourcefulness when navigating their academic writing trajectories. Ultimately, this study’s findings recommend that composition faculty, administrators, and EAL educators recognize EAL writers’ agency in accessing multiple resources while acknowledging their writing challenges, providing an optimal learning environment, and empowering them to thrive in their mainstream composition studies.

description: The findings presented in this paper look at the motivations of volunteers who supported English for Academic Purposes students at a self-access Language Learning Centre at a university in Canada. It also importantly sheds light on the motivations of a less investigated aspect of volunteerism, that of non-native English speakers who provide support to English language learners. In this study, 90% of the volunteers were non-native speakers of English, with most being international students. The majority of the volunteers were also graduate students (90%). Thirty volunteers in total participated in the survey, with seven volunteers participating in the focus group study. The data gleaned from both the survey and the focus groups in terms of motivations were analyzed (the latter via a content analysis) and then placed into the categories of Clary et al.’s (1998) Volunteer Function Inventory. The analysis revealed that a strong motivating factor for many was career-related, with a secondary motive of learning through volunteering in the centre or of using previously unused skills at the centre. Additionally, 97% of the volunteer students surveyed stated their work at the centre was an opportunity to make new friends.

description: In software development, IDE services are used to assist developers in programming tasks. In dynamic web applications, however, since the client-side code is embedded in the server-side program as string literals, providing IDE services for such embedded code is challenging. We introduce Varis, a tool that provides services on the embedded client-side code. We perform symbolic execution on a PHP program to approximate its output and parse it into a VarDOM that compactly represents all its DOM variations. Using the VarDOM, we implement various types of IDE services for embedded client code including syntax highlighting, code completion, and 'find declaration'.
Pinning down the New Minimal Supersymmetric GUT

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show that generic $ {\bf{10\oplus 120\oplus {\bar {126}}}}$ fits of fermion masses and mixings, using real superpotential couplings but with complex `Higgs fractions' leading to complex yukawa couplings in the effective MSSM, \emph{overdetermine}(by one extra constraint) the superpotential parameters of the New Minimal Supersymmetric SO(10) GUT\cite{nmsgut}. Therefore fits should properly be done by generating the 24 generic fit parameters from the 23 parameters of the NMSGUT superpotential, given $\tanβ$ as input. Each numerical fit then \emph{fully specifies} the parameters of the NMSGUT. An analysis of all its implications, modulo only the residual uncertainty of supersymmetry breaking parameters, is now feasible. Thus the NMSGUT offers the possibility of a confrontation between the scale of gauge unification and the fit to fermion masses due to their extractable common dependence on the NMSGUT parameters. If and when `smoking gun' discoveries of Supersymmetry and Proton decay occur they will find the NMSGUT fully vulnerable to falsification.

English for Academic Purposes Writers’ Use of Reporting Verbs in Argumentative and Cause-and-Effect Essay Exams

name: McDonough, Kim
Publisher: name: BC TEAL Journal
Year: 2021

description: The effective use of reporting verbs is an important part of establishing credibility in source-based writing. Although comparative studies of academic writing have shown that the reporting verbs used by novice and expert writers differ by discipline, fewer studies have examined whether such differences exist in English for academic purposes (EAP) writing, which often focuses on generic essay types as opposed to discipline-specific academic genres. Using a corpus of 1027 texts written by EAP students at an English-medium Canadian University, this study explored whether additional language (L2) writers’ reporting verb choices differed in cause-and-effect and argumentative essays. Adopting semantic classifications from previous research, the occurrence of 34 reporting verbs across four semantic categories (argue, think, find, show) in the two essay types were compared. Results indicated that EAP students relied on a limited number of reporting verbs regardless of essay type. In contrast to disciplinary writing, find verbs occurred infrequently while argue verbs were most frequent. Pedagogical implications are discussed in terms of the relationship between essay type and L2 writers’ use of reporting verbs.

Optical, vibrational and radiative processes are treated on an equal footing employing the Time-Dependent Variational Matrix Product States algorithm. We demonstrate signatures of non-Markovian vibronic dynamics and its fingerprints in the far-field photon emission spectrum at arbitrary light-matter interaction scales, ranging from the weak to the strong coupling regimes. We analyse both the single and many-molecule cases, showing the crucial role played by the collective motion of molecular nuclei and dark states in determining the polariton dynamics and the subsequent photon emission.

description: The recent detection of the live isotopes $^{60}{\rm Fe}$ and $^{244}{\rm Pu}$ in deep ocean sediments dating back to the past 3-4 Myr poses a serious challenge to the identification of their production site(s). While $^{60}{\rm Fe}$ is usually attributed to standard core-collapse supernovae, actinides are r-process nucleosynthesis yields, which are believed to be synthesized in rare events, such as special classes of supernovae or binary mergers involving at least one neutron star. Previous works concluded that a single binary neutron star merger cannot explain the observed isotopic ratio. In this work, we consider a set of numerical simulations of binary neutron star mergers producing long-lived massive remnants expelling both dynamical and spiral-wave wind ejecta. The latter, due to a stronger neutrino irradiation, also produce iron-group elements. Assuming that large-scale mixing is inefficient before the fading of the kilonova remnant and that the spiral-wave wind is sustained over a 100-200 ms timescale, the ejecta emitted at mid-high latitudes provide a $^{244}{\rm Pu}$ over $^{60}{\rm Fe}$ ratio compatible with observations. The merger could have happened 80-150 pc away from the Earth and between 3.5 and 4.5 Myr ago. We also compute expected isotopic ratios for eight other live radioactive nuclides showing that the proposed binary neutron star merger scenario is distinguishable from other scenarios proposed in the literature.

description: [transcription] Copie de la lettre à Monsieur de Joubert le trésorier des états du 9 décembre 1779

Monsieur, j'eus l'honneur de présenter mes hommages à Monsieur l'archevêque de Narbonne le 29 du mois dernier. Cet illustre prélat voulut bien se donner la peine de se rendre à la Maison Carrée pour y considérer les réparations que j'y avais fait faire. Il examina attentivement tout ce qu'on y avait fait et tout ce qui restait encore à faire. Je lui fis observer qu'une des extrémités de la corniche de la façade avait grand besoin d'être réparée et qu'il était d'une nécessité absolue de prendre tous les soins possibles pour la remettre en état. Le zèle qu'il témoigna pour cet ancien monument lui fit désirer de nous obtenir des états de nouveaux secours pour cette dernière réparation. S'il daigne leur faire connaître ce qu'il y a apparent, nous nous flattons qu'on nous les accordera. Je lui représentai que Monsieur le comte de Périgord, qui avait fait les mêmes observations, souhaitoit autant que moi et tout nos citoyens que la partie dégradée de cette corniche fut rétablie et qu'on eut égard à nos représentations. Je le priai de me permettre de vous adresser l'état de l'emploi des 4000 lt. qu'on nous a accordées aux états derniers. Il me le permet et j'exécute ses ordres. Ayez la bonté de lui présenter [que] ce qui nous reste suffit à peine pour achever de réparer quelques cannelures qu'ont tâche de rétablir. Je n'envoie point les pièces justificatives que je n'ai fait qu'indiquer parce qu'il n'a pas été possible de prendre des acquits de tout ce qui s'est payé journellement à certains ouvriers tels que sont les carriers qui ont extrait la pierre à la carrière de Lens et les autres qui l'ont mise en oeuvre. Si cependant vous jugez à propos que je fis connaître tout ce détail, ayez la bonté de m'en informer et je vous enverrai tous les mémoires que j'en ai fait et tous les acquits que j'ai pu me procurer.

Daignez, Monsieur, être notre intercesseur pour obtenir les nouveaux secours que nous osons espérer. Ce qu'il reste à faire est ce qu'il y a de plus essentiel. Une somme égale à celle que les états nous ont accordée l'année dernière sera suffisante pour cette dernière réparation qui mettra le comble à nos désirs.

J'ai l'honneur d'être avec respect Monsieur & c.

String Model with Mesons and Baryons in Modified Measure Theory

description: We consider string meson and string baryon models in the framework of the modified measure theory, the theory that does not use the determinant of the metric to construct the invariant volume element. As the outcome of this theory, the string tension is not placed ad hoc but is derived. When the charges are presented, the tension undergoes alterations. In the string meson model there are one string and two opposite charges at the endpoints. In the string baryon model there are two strings, two pairs of opposite charges at the endpoints and one additional charge at the intersection point, the point where these two strings are connected. The application of the modified measure theory is justified because the Neumann boundary conditions are obtained dynamically at every point where the charge is located and Dirichlet boundary conditions arise naturally at the intersection point. In particular, the Neumann boundary conditions that are obtained at the intersection point differ from that considered before by 't Hooft in [hep-th/0408148] and are stronger, which appears to solve the nonlocality problem that was encountered in the standard measure approach. The solutions of the equations of motion are presented. Assuming that each endpoint is the dynamical massless particle, the Regge trajectory with the slope parameter that depends on three different tensions is obtained.

description: In order to better understand the effect of social media in the dissemination of scholarly articles, employing the daily updated referral data of 110 PeerJ articles collected over a period of 345 days, we analyze the relationship between social media attention and article visitors directed by social media. Our results show that social media presence of PeerJ articles is high. About 68.18% of the papers receive at least one tweet from Twitter accounts other than @PeerJ, the official account of the journal. Social media attention increases the dissemination of scholarly articles. Altmetrics could not only act as the complement of traditional citation measures but also play an important role in increasing the article downloads and promoting the impacts of scholarly articles. There also exists a significant correlation among the online attention from different social media platforms. Articles with more Facebook shares tend to get more tweets. The temporal trends show that social attention comes immediately following publication but does not last long, so do the social media directed article views.

description: Software product line engineering is an efficient means to generate a set of tailored software products from a common implementation. However, adopting a product-line approach poses a major challenge and significant risks, since typically legacy code must be migrated toward a product line. Our aim is to lower the adoption barrier by providing semiautomatic tool support—called variability mining—to support developers in locating, documenting, and extracting implementations of product-line features from legacy code. Variability mining combines prior work on concern location, reverse engineering, and variability-aware type systems, but is tailored specifically for the use in product lines. Our work pursues three technical goals: (1) we provide a consistency indicator based on a variability-aware type system, (2) we mine features at a fine level of granularity, and (3) we exploit domain knowledge about the relationship between features when available. With a quantitative study, we demonstrate that variability mining can efficiently support developers in locating features
Creating an Interactive Online Orientation to Academic Practices for International Students

name: Yamamoto, Masaru
Publisher: name: BC TEAL Journal
Year: 2021

description: While universities are increasingly implementing programs to support international students’ language development, fewer orientation programs have sought to provide explicit guidance on expected academic practices in Canadian institutions. Many such academic norms—including the expectation to complete weekly readings, the use of first names with instructors, or participation grades—may be unfamiliar to students who were socialized in different academic cultures. This paper describes the creation of an online orientation module that introduced newly arrived international students to three aspects of local classroom practice: participation, preparing readings for class, and emailing instructors. Drawing on theories of academic discourse socialization, the module discusses norms (e.g., asking questions is expected) and provides ready-made language models for engaging in related practices (e.g., email templates). Initial results of a pilot with 74 incoming students suggest that these types of modules provide a promising avenue for supporting international student success. Details of the design process, including the selection of appropriate platforms and tools and the implementation of inclusive, accessible, and multimodal design principles, are presented. Recommendations for institutions wishing to develop similar support materials are also provided.

“I Need My Instructor to Like Sit with Me”: Addressing Culture in L2 Writing Instruction
Creators: name: Bhowmik, Subrata

Publisher: name: BC TEAL Journal
Year: 2021

description: One of the objectives of examining culture vis-à-vis additional language (L2) writing is to conceptualize an effective L2 writing pedagogy (Matsuda & Atkinson, 2008). Kaplan’s (1966) analysis of English as an additional language (EAL) texts was a pioneering endeavour in this regard, although due to ensuing controversy surrounding his claims, the desired goals of his effort were never achieved, leaving a gap in culture studies of L2 writing (Abasi, 2012; Belcher, 2014). This article reports on an investigation of student views on what instructors can do to help overcome cultural challenges L2 writers encounter in an English for academic purposes (EAP) context. Drawing on data from semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys, this qualitative case study examined 27 students at a Canadian university. Data analysis yielded six categories of instructor support: (a) providing explicit feedback on writing; (b) providing English text structures; (c) using exemplars; (d) creating opportunities for in-class writing and reviews; (e) explaining cultural differences between first language (L1) and L2 writing; and (f) providing more writing practice. The findings underline the importance of instructors’ roles in unpacking various cultural underpinnings in L2 writing. Also, they support the (re)conceptualization of L2 writing pedagogy that integrates empirical evidence into instruction. The implications for L2 writing instruction are discussed.

D6.6 – Adaptive Workflow Management and Automation Tool v2
Creators: name: Varga, Ján
name: Straka, Martin
name: Belej, Bohuš
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The document describes the second version of the Adaptive Workflow Management and Automation Tool, which will orchestrate the construction process tasks and facilitate information exchange between them. It will further enable stakeholders to keep track of the entire process in real time as well as automated reporting and adaptation of the workflow in case of planned or unplanned developments during the construction phase.

The provided tool is a standalone toolset based on the I3D platform adjusted for the needs of COGITO, which provides the set of tools covering the whole life cycle of the management and utilisation of the know-how. In this version, the following main functionalities are provided: Importing the workflow created in the Process Modelling and Simulation tool (PMS); Management of the workflows; Creation of Work Orders that are issued when executing the workflows; Assignment of workorders and tasks to specific human resources; Monitoring and management of workorders and workflow tasks; and Exporting data of workorders to the Digital Twin Platform.

This first version focused on the definition of internal data structure and adjusting the existing I3D ecosystem to meet the COGITO requirements. The second release implements all the functionalities required for interfacing with other COGITO tools as defined in the use cases “UC1.1-Efficient and detailed project workflow planning using the project’s construction schedule and as-planned BIM model” and “UC1.2-Systematic and secure execution, monitoring and updating of the project workflow”.

The Adaptive Workflow Management and Automation tool development has been driven by the stakeholder’s requirements identified in “D2.1 – Stakeholder requirements for the COGITO system” and the tool specifications that have been documented in “D2.5 – COGITO system architecture v2”.

description: A number of research efforts have been based on the hypothesis that encapsulation techniques, formal specification, and verification lead to significant improvements in program quality. As we gain expererience with the language facilities produced by this research, we should attempt to validate that hypothesis. This paper poses this validationa s the next major task in this area and outlines some ways to address it.
D6.8 – Personalized On-site Works Support Apps v2
Creators: name: Varga, Ján
name: Straka, Martin
name: Belej, Bohuš

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The COGITO deliverable D6.8 “Personalized On-Site Works Support Apps v2” aims at documenting the second iteration of the WOEA application initially presented in the previous version of this deliverable, D6.7. WOEA is considered as a main on-site tool for workers, foremen, quality surveyors, surveyors and HSE supervisors to manage, monitor and report the status of the tasks assigned to them as part of the whole construction process.

The Work Order Execution Assistance tool, WOEA, is part of an application toolset delivered under the I3D platform1 adjusted to fit the needs of COGITO. The application is a derivation of the currently developed mobile device application, mostly focusing to be used with Smart Glasses. Other mobile devices like Android smartphones or tablets are also supported. The development and delivery of WOEA’s functionalities were driven by the stakeholders’ requirements identified in the deliverable D2.1 “Stakeholder requirements for the COGITO system” and the functional and non-functional requirement documented in D2.5 “System Architecture v2”. The second version of WOEA aims to deliver a bundle of functionalities enabling the handling of end-users’ interactions while executing the tasks assigned to them. In this version, the following functionalities are provided: Integration with COGITO’s Digital Twin Platform - user authentication using COGITO’s Identity Provider; Overview of workorders/tasks assigned to a user; Accessing detailed information about the assigned workorders/tasks; Assistance during execution of the tasks; Integrated tool for progress reporting; and Support for offline execution.

The notification and in-task object recognition features have been removed as they fall outside the scope of the project. Also, possibilities to edit work orders as well as the user role assignment have been disabled – such functionality is offered by other COGITO tools. The application has been simplified removing unnecessary libraries and frameworks.

In this second, final version of WOEA’s report, the application’s integration with the overall COGITO ecosystem in terms of realising all the interactions with other COGITO components is provided.
Integrability and Diffeomorphisms on Target Space

description: We briefly review the concepts of generalized zero curvature conditions and integrability in higher dimensions, where integrability in this context is related to the existence of infinitely many conservation laws. Under certain assumptions, it turns out that these conservation laws are, in fact, generated by a class of geometric target space transformations, namely the volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. We classify the possible conservation laws of field theories for the case of a three-dimensional target space. Further, we discuss some explicit examples.

Caputo Fractional Standard Map: Scaling Invariance Analyses
Creators: name: Borin, Daniel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we investigate the scaling invariance of survival probability in the Caputo fractional standard map of the order $1<α<2$ considered on a cylinder. We consider relatively large values of the nonlinearity parameter $K$ for which the map is chaotic. The survival probability has a short plateau followed by an exponential decay and is scaling invariant for all considered values of $α$ and $K$.
Gender-Oriented Topics in Teaching English as an Additional Language
Creators: name: Derichsweiler, Sina
Publisher: name: BC TEAL Journal
Year: 2021

description: Given the great influence gender identity issues have in educational settings, it is critical to understand how students, especially in the K–12 context, are affected and how this contributes to their academic success. This article deals with the potential that lies in teaching topics of gender identity in the additional language classroom. Drawing on recent research in the German context related to language and culture and gender-oriented topics in English as an additional language (EAL) provides an international perspective. Exemplified through the German school context, the need to incorporate more gender-oriented topics into teaching is emphasized. The aim is to provide an understanding of topics related to gender and sexual orientation independent of the subject matter and to highlight some opportune teaching moments. In doing so, the role of the school as an agent of socialization and education in connection to topics of gender identity is explained, followed by an introduction to the field of gender studies in order to point out the main aspects to consider when planning a lesson for EAL. To make the theoretical field more accessible, three teaching examples for primary school and early secondary school research settings are presented.

description: Disco is a mediator system developed at INRIA for accessing heterogeneous data sources over the Internet. In Disco, mediators accept queries from users, process them with respect to wrappers, and return answers. Wrapper provide access to underlying sources. To efficiently process queries, the mediator performs cost-based query optimization. In a heterogeneous distributed database, cost-estimate based query optimization is difficult to achieve because the underlying data sources do not export cost information. Disco's approach relies on combining a generic cost model with specific cost information exported by wrappers. In this paper, we propose a validation of Disco's cost model based on experimentation with real Web data sources. This validation shows the efficiency of our generic cost model as well as the efficiency of more specialized cost functions.

description: We provide a theoretical framework for the prediction and interpretation of momentum dependent phonon spectra due to coherent inelastic scattering of electrons. We complete the approach with first principles lattice dynamics using periodic density functional theory and compare to recent electron energy loss measurements on cubic and hexagonal boron nitride performed within a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). The combination of theory and experiment provides the ability to interpret momentum dependent phonon spectra obtained at nanometer spatial resolution in the electron microscope.

Thermal stability of metastable magnetic skyrmions: Entropic narrowing and significance of internal eigenmodes

description: We compute annihilation rates of metastable magnetic skyrmions using a form of Langer's theory in the intermediate-to-high damping (IHD) regime. For a Néel skyrmion, a Bloch skyrmion, and an antiskyrmion, we look at two possible paths to annihilation: collapse and escape through a boundary. We also study the effects of a curved vs. a flat boundary, a second skyrmion and a non-magnetic defect. We find that the skyrmion's internal modes play a dominant role in the thermally activated transitions compared to the spin-wave excitations and that the relative contribution of internal modes depends on the nature of the transition process. Our calculations for a small skyrmion stabilized at zero-field show that collapse on a defect is the most probable path. In the absence of a defect, the annihilation is largely dominated by escape mechanisms, even though in this case the activation energy is higher than that of collapse processes. Escape through a flat boundary is found more probable than through a curved boundary. The potential source of stability of metastable skyrmions is therefore found not to lie in high activation energies, nor in the dynamics at the transition state, but comes from entropic narrowing in the saddle point region which leads to lowered attempt frequencies. This narrowing effect is found to be primarily associated with the skyrmion's internal modes.
