description: A real-time Deep Learning based method for Pedestrian Detection (PD) is applied to the Human-Aware robot navigation problem. The pedestrian detector combines the Aggregate Channel Features (ACF) detector with a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) in order to obtain fast and accurate performance. Our solution is firstly evaluated using a set of real images taken from onboard and offboard cameras and, then, it is validated in a typical robot navigation environment with pedestrians (two distinct experiments are conducted). The results on both tests show that our pedestrian detector is robust and fast enough to be used on robot navigation applications.

Year: 2018

description: This study attempts to reveal the relationship between credit risk and financial performance of commercial banks in Ethiopia. In order to investigate these study quantitative research approach is employed based on documentary analysis. A panel data from six selected commercial banks covering the ten-year period (2007-2016) is analyzed within the fixed effects model on regression analysis and using E-view8 software. The study used one dependent variable return on asset (ROA), four independent variables that are: nonperforming loan to total loan and advance ratio (NPLTLA), loan provision to total loan and advance ratio (LPTLA), total loan and advance to total deposit ratio (TLATD) and the ratio of non-performing loan to loan provision (NPLLP) as measures of credit risk. Both descriptive statistics and regression analysis specifically fixed effects model were used to analyze the relationships of the depended variable with explanatory variables. The regression result show that non-performing loan to total loan and advance ratio, loan provision to total loan and advance ratio and the ratio of non-performing loan to loan provision show negative and significant effect at 1% and 5% significance level on financial performance of commercial banks in Ethiopia. However, total loan and advance to total deposit ratio show positive and significant effect at 1% significance level on financial performance of commercial banks in Ethiopia. The research concluded that credit risk has significant effect on financial performance of commercial banks in Ethiopia. Hence, the study recommend in support of each variable for commercial banks of Ethiopia should enhance their capacity in credit analysis and loan administration.

description: Point cloud completion is a generation and estimation issue derived from the partial point clouds, which plays a vital role in the applications in 3D computer vision. The progress of deep learning (DL) has impressively improved the capability and robustness of point cloud completion. However, the quality of completed point clouds is still needed to be further enhanced to meet the practical utilization. Therefore, this work aims to conduct a comprehensive survey on various methods, including point-based, convolution-based, graph-based, and generative model-based approaches, etc. And this survey summarizes the comparisons among these methods to provoke further research insights. Besides, this review sums up the commonly used datasets and illustrates the applications of point cloud completion. Eventually, we also discussed possible research trends in this promptly expanding field.

description: Recent imaging technologies are rapidly evolving for sampling richer and more immersive representations of the 3D world. And one of the emerging technologies are light field (LF) cameras based on micro-lens arrays. To record the directional information of the light rays, a much larger storage space and transmission bandwidth are required by a LF image as compared with a conventional 2D image of similar spatial dimension, and the compression of LF data becomes a vital part of its application. In this paper, we propose a LF codec that fully exploits the intrinsic geometry between the LF sub-views by first approximating the LF with disparity guided sparse coding over a perspective shifted light field dictionary. The sparse coding is only based on several optimized Structural Key Views (SKV); however the entire LF can be recovered from the coding coefficients. By keeping the approximation identical between encoder and decoder, only the residuals of the non-key views, disparity map and the SKVs need to be compressed into the bit stream. An optimized SKV selection method is proposed such that most LF spatial information could be preserved. And to achieve optimum dictionary efficiency, the LF is divided into several Coding Regions (CR), over which the reconstruction works individually. Experiments and comparisons have been carried out over benchmark LF dataset, which show that the proposed SC-SKV codec produces convincing compression results in terms of both rate-distortion performance and visual quality compared with High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC): with 47.87% BD-rate reduction and 1.59 dB BD-PSNR improvement achieved on average, especially with up to 4 dB improvement for low bit rate scenarios.

description: In [ESAIM: M2AN, 54(2020), 2229-2264], we proposed an HDG method to approximate the solution of a tangential boundary control problem for the Stokes equations and obtained an optimal convergence rate for the optimal control {that reflects its global regularity}. However, the error estimates depend on the pressure, and the velocity is not divergence free. The importance of pressure-robust numerical methods for fluids was addressed by John et al. [SIAM Review, 59(2017), 492-544]. In this work, we devise a new HDG method to approximate the solution of the Stokes tangential boundary control problem; the HDG method is also of independent interest for solving the Stokes equations. This scheme yields a $\mathbf{H}(\mathrm{div})$ conforming, globally divergence free, and pressure-robust solution. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such a numerical scheme has been obtained for an optimal boundary control problem for the Stokes equations. We also provide numerical experiments to show the performance of the new HDG method and the advantage over the non pressure-robust scheme.

description: We show that different (brane and constrained superfield) descriptions for the Volkov-Akulov goldstino coupled to N=1, D=4 supergravity with matter produce similar wide classes of models with spontaneously broken local supersymmetry and discuss the relation between the different formulations. As with the formulations with irreducible constrained superfields, the geometric goldstino brane approach has the advantage of being manifestly off-shell supersymmetric without the need to introduce auxiliary fields. It provides an explicit solution of the nilpotent superfield constraints and avoids issues with non-Gaussian integration of auxiliary fields. We describe general couplings of the supersymmetry breaking sector, including the goldstino and other non-supersymmetric matter, to supergravity and matter supermultiplets. Among various examples, we discuss a goldstino brane contribution to the gravitino mass term and the supersymmetrization of the anti-D3-brane contribution to the effective theory of type IIB warped flux compactifications.

description: Geometric frustration describes the inability of a local molecular arrangement, such as icosahedra found in metallic glasses and in model atomic glass-formers, to tile space. Local icosahedral order however is strongly frustrated in Euclidean space, which obscures any causal relationship with the observed dynamical slowdown. Here we relieve frustration in a model glass-forming liquid by curving 3-dimensional space onto the surface of a 4-dimensional hypersphere. For sufficient curvature, frustration vanishes and the liquid freezes in a fully icosahedral structure via a sharp `transition'. Frustration increases upon reducing the curvature, and the transition to the icosahedral state smoothens while glassy dynamics emerges. Decreasing the curvature leads to decoupling between dynamical and structural length scales and the decrease of kinetic fragility. This sheds light on the observed glass-forming behavior in the Euclidean space.

description: A versatile magnetometer must deliver a readable response when exposed to target fields in a wide range of parameters. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate that the combination of $^{171}$Yb$^{+}$ atomic sensors with adequately trained neural networks enables to investigate target fields in distinct challenging scenarios. In particular, we characterize radio frequency (RF) fields in the presence of large shot noise, including the limit case of continuous data acquisition via single-shot measurements. Furthermore, by incorporating neural networks we significantly extend the working regime of atomic magnetometers into scenarios in which the RF driving induces responses beyond their standard harmonic behavior. Our results indicate the benefits to integrate neural networks at the data processing stage of general quantum sensing tasks to decipher the information contained in the sensor responses.

description: Proceedings of the ESSLLI 2022 Student Session Proportionality in Liquid Democracy and Representative Democracy Leyla Ade, Matteo Michelini and Pietro Vigiani In this paper, we compare liquid democracy to representative democracy with respect to a proportionality principle, according to which agents with higher stakes should have more voting weight. We provide a formal model of voting systems that models agents' uncertainty towards a voting issue as influenced by stakes in the issue. We formalise the delegation process in representative democracy and liquid democracy and prove that only the latter satisfies the proportionality principle.

description: Stellar flares are powerful localized eruptions caused by magnetic reconnection events in a star's magnetosphere that can be seen across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Over short timescales of minutes to a few hours, they emit energies up to 10^38 erg.
 Flares are important diagnostics for our understanding of coronal physics as well as the evolution of planetary atmospheres. While flares with energies >10^34 erg can lead to an erosion of the ozone layer of the planet’s atmosphere when they occur frequently enough, a minimum flare frequency and energy might be required to trigger chemical reactions that are necessary for the development of life.
 The PLATO mission with its unprecedented precision, short cadence and long observational baseline, is ideally suited to study stellar white-light flares in up to now unrivaled detail. Flares will be identified
 within the PLATO pipeline MSAP1 with a code developed by the PLATO WP 123 700 ("Stellar flares") both in order to remove stellar variability from the light curves and to extract astrophysically important information. The first prototype of the code was already delivered to the PDC.
 In this talk I provide a brief summary of the work carried out in the PLATO WP and I will show examples of applications of the flare detection algorithm we develop for MSAP1 to selected stellar samples, e.g. the TESS HZCat M dwarf sample or the Kepler Superflare sample. Furthermore, I will show how the derived flare properties help to estimate the effects of flaring on the habitability of exoplanets.

description: Twisted 2D materials form complex moiré structures that spontaneously reduce symmetry through picoscale deformation within a mesoscale lattice. We show twisted 2D materials contain a torsional displacement field comprised of three transverse periodic lattice distortions (PLD). The torsional PLD amplitude provides a single order parameter that concisely describes the structural complexity of twisted bilayer moirés. Moreover, the structure and amplitude of a torsional periodic lattice distortion is quantifiable using rudimentary electron diffraction methods sensitive to reciprocal space. In twisted bilayer graphene, the torsional PLD begins to form at angles below 3.89° and the amplitude reaches 8 pm around the magic angle of 1.1°. At extremely low twist angles (e.g. below 0.25°) the amplitude increases and additional PLD harmonics arise to expand Bernal stacked domains separated by well defined solitonic boundaries. The torsional distortion field in twisted bilayer graphene is analytically described and has an upper bound of 22.6 pm. Similar torsional distortions are observed in twisted WS$_2$, CrI$_3$, and WSe$_2$ / MoSe$_2$.

description: The abundance of dark matter (DM) subhalos orbiting a host galaxy is a generic prediction of the cosmological framework, and is a promising way to constrain the nature of DM. In this paper, we investigate the use of machine learning-based tools to quantify the magnitude of phase-space perturbations caused by the passage of DM subhalos. A simple binary classifier and an anomaly detection model are proposed to estimate if stars or star particles close to DM subhalos are statistically detectable in simulations. The simulated datasets are three Milky Way-like galaxies and nine synthetic Gaia DR2 surveys derived from these. Firstly, we find that the anomaly detection algorithm, trained on a simulated galaxy with full 6D kinematic observables and applied on another galaxy, is nontrivially sensitive to the DM subhalo population. On the other hand, the classification-based approach is not sufficiently sensitive due to the extremely low statistics of signal stars for supervised training. Finally, the sensitivity of both algorithms in the Gaia-like surveys is negligible. The enormous size of the Gaia dataset motivates the further development of scalable and accurate data analysis methods that could be used to select potential regions of interest for DM searches to ultimately constrain the Milky Way's subhalo mass function, as well as simulations where to study the sensitivity of such methods under different signal hypotheses.

description: Embryonic animals are especially susceptible to metal exposure. Manganese (Mn) is an es-sential element, but in excess it can induce toxicity. In this study we used Drosophila mela-nogaster as an embryonic model to investigate biochemical and behavioral alterations due to Mn exposure. Flies were treated with standard medium supplemented with MnCl2 at 0.1 mM, 0.5 mM or 1 mM from the egg to the adult stage. At 0.5 mM and 1 mM Mn, newly ecloded flies showed significantly enhanced locomotor activity when assessed by negative geotaxis behavior. In addition, a significant increase in Mn levels (p < 0.0001) was observed, while Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn and S levels were significantly decreased. A significant drop in cell viability occurred in flies exposed to 1 mM Mn. There was also an induction of reactive oxygen species at 0.5 mM and 1 mM Mn (p < 0.05). At 1 mM, Mn increased Catalase (p < 0.005), Superoxide Dismutase (p < 0.005) and Hsp83 (p < 0.0001) mRNA expression, without altering Catalase or Superoxide Dismutase activity; the activity of Thioredoxin reductase and Glutatione-S-transferase enzymes was increased. Mn treatment did not alter ERK or JNK1/2 phosphorylation, but at 1 mM caused an inhibition of p38MAPK phosphorylation. Together these data suggest mechanisms of adaptation in the fly response to Mn exposure in embryonic life.

description: We establish a statistical relationship between the inverse energy cascade and the spatial correlations of clustered vortices in two-dimensional quantum turbulence. The Kolmogorov spectrum $k^{-5/3}$ on inertial scales $r$ corresponds to a pair correlation function between the vortices with different signs that decays as a power law with the pair distance given as $r^{-4/3}$. To test these scaling relations, we propose a novel forced and dissipative point vortex model that captures the turbulent dynamics of quantized vortices by the emergent clustering of same-sign vortices. The inverse energy cascade developing in a statistically neutral system originates from this vortex clustering that evolves with time.

Helioseismic determination of the Solar metal mass fraction

Solar chemical composition

description: The solar chemical composition is a key element entering both solar en stellar models. Due
 to the role of the Sun as reference in the metallicity scale used to determine the metallicity
 of distant stars. Therefore, knowing the chemical composition of the Sun is not only relevant
 for solar modelling but also for the choice of physical elements entering the stellar model
 grids. Following the revision in the early 2000s of the solar heavy element content (Asplund
 et al. 2004), an ongoing debate has agitated the solar modelling community as keeping
 a high solar metallicity (as in the Grevesse & Sauval 1998 tables) would provide a much
 better agreement with classical helioseismic constraints (sound speed, base of the convective
 envelope position, ...). The recent picture regarding spectroscopic determinations of solar
 abundances provided by Asplund et al. 2021 has been recently challenged in a paper by Magg
 et al. 2022, revising the solar metallicity back to its value of 1998. Independently of the
 controversy in spectroscopy, helioseismic determinations of the solar metallicity have been
 attempted in various papers (Lin & Däppen, Antia & Basu, Lin,Antia & Basu, Vorontsov
 et al. 2013, Buldgen et al. 2017). The latest studies favoured a low metallicity value, but
 suffered from very low precision. In this poster, we present an improved determination of
 the solar metallicity from helioseismic inversions and show that for all modern equations of
 state, we find a precise solar metallicity value in agreement with the Asplund et al. (2021)
 abundances, rejecting the Magg et al. (2022) values.

description: In this manuscript, we investigate the influence of the extended uncertainty principle (EUP) on the thermodynamics of a charged rotating Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) black hole in (2+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) and de Sitter (dS) space-time, respectively. We find that EUP-corrected Hawking temperature, entropy, volume, Gibbs free energy, pressure, and heat capacity functions have different characteristic behaviors in (A)dS space-time. During the detailed analysis, we obtain a critical horizon in the AdS space-time where the pressure has a non-zero minimum value. However, in the dS space-time, we cannot achieve such a minimum pressure value. Instead, there is a "cut point" where the pressure becomes zero. We show that after that horizon value the black hole becomes unstable, with negative pressure which leads to the collapse of the black hole.

description: This thesis aims at investigating the factors influencing of access to finance and its availability for Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) in the Addis Ababa by using both survey and econometric methods. Specifically, the thesis assesses the impact of firm characteristics, collateral requirement, cost of borrowing and awareness of funding opportunity on the accesses to finance and its availability. The study employs mixed methods research approach. The quantitative aspect of the study is based on survey of a randomly selected 204 SMEs owner/manager, shareholders and employee/manager and 50 participants from six banks and seven MFIs employee in Addis Ababa. While the qualitative component employs review of relevant documents related to accesses to finance in Ethiopia. The outcome of a study reveal that firm characteristics, collateral requirement, cost of borrowing and awareness of funding opportunity have a significant relationship with the accesses to finance and its availability. Furthermore, the result from descriptive nature of structured questioner confirmed that all factors in this research have impact on the accesses to finance and its availability. It also revealed that SMEs use their own savings and profit as well as "ekub" as a major source of finance beside banks and MFIs contribution. Having in adequate collateral, lengthy process of loan and high interest rate are discovered as major obstacles to have loan from Banks and MFIs. These findings expected to help both parties SMEs as well as financial source providers in the development of appropriate strategies in filling the gap towards certain mutual benefit on collateral requirement and interest rate that contributes in growth of the nation as well to the economy.

description: In this review, I will discuss the various existing techniques used to carry out asteroseismic
 modelling of main-sequence solar-like oscillators. I will present the existing solutions to
 study large samples for which a limited amount of data is available, the limitations of these
 approaches and dive into more detailed inference techniques achievable for the best existing
 targets. For such detailed approaches, the choice of seismic constraints, the combination of
 on-the-fly computations and grid-based inferences, the non-seismic parameters as well as the
 effects of physics variation are of relevance to the details of accuracy and precision that can
 be achieved. For such rich datasets, I will cover both techniques relying evolutionary model
 fitting or inversion techniques based on the variational formalism and discuss perspective for
 future approaches.

description: Scutellaria baicalensis has a wide range of biological activities and has been considered as an important traditional drug in Asia and North America for centuries. A partial-length cDNA clone encoding phytoene synthase (SbPSY) and full-length cDNA clones encoding phytoene desaturase (SbPDS), ξ-carotene desaturase (SbZDS), β-ring carotene hydroxylase (SbCHXB), and zeaxanthin epoxidase (SbZEP) were identified in S. baicalensis. Sequence analyses revealed that these proteins share high identity and conserved domains with their orthologous genes. SbPSY, SbPDS, SbZDS, SbCHXB, and SbZEP were constitutively expressed in the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers of S. baicalensis. SbPSY, SbPDS, and SbZDS were highly expressed in the stems, leaves, and flowers and showed low expression in the roots, where only trace amounts of carotenoids were detected. SbCHXB and SbZEP transcripts were expressed at relatively high levels in the roots, stems, and flowers and were expressed at low levels in the leaves, where carotenoids were mostly distributed. The predominant carotenoids in S. baicalensis were lutein and β-carotene, with abundant amounts found in the leaves (517.19 and 228.37 μg g-1 dry weight, respectively). Our study on the biosynthesis of carotenoids in S. baicalensis will provide basic data for elucidating the contribution of carotenoids to the considerable medicinal properties of S. baicalensis.

description: This paper generalizes recent results by the authors on noninvasive model-reference adaptive control designs for control-based continuation of periodic orbits in periodically excited linear systems with matched uncertainties to a larger class of periodically excited nonlinear systems with matched uncertainties and known structure. A candidate adaptive feedback design is also proposed in the case of scalar problems with unmodeled nonlinearities. In the former case, rigorous analysis shows guaranteed performance bounds for the associated prediction and estimation errors. Together with an assumption of persistent excitation, there follows asymptotic convergence to periodic responses determined uniquely by an a priori unknown periodic reference input and independent of initial conditions, as required by the control-based continuation paradigm. In particular, when the reference input equals the sought periodic response, the steady-state control input vanishes. Identical conclusions follow for the case of scalar dynamics with unmodeled nonlinearities, albeit with slow rates of convergence. Numerical simulations validate the theoretical predictions for individual parameter values. Integration with the software package COCO demonstrate successful continuation along families of stable and unstable periodic orbits with a minimum of parameter tuning. The results expand the envelope of known noninvasive feedback strategies for use in experimental model validation and engineering design.

description: In this Letter, we study analytically the evolutions of the flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe and its linear perturbations in the framework of {\em the dressed metric approach} in loop quantum cosmology (LQC). Assuming that the evolution of the background is dominated by the kinetic energy of the inflaton at the quantum bounce, we find that both evolutions of the background and its perturbations are independent of the inflationary potentials during the pre-inflationary phase. During this period the effective potentials of the perturbations can be well approximated by a Pöschl-Teller (PT) potential, from which we find analytically the mode functions and then calculate the corresponding Bogoliubov coefficients at the onset of the slow-roll inflation, valid for any inflationary model with a single scalar field. Imposing the Bunch-Davies (BD) vacuum in the contracting phase prior to the bounce when the modes are all inside the Hubble horizon, we show that particles are generically created due to the pre-inflation dynamics. Matching them to those obtained in the slow-roll inflationary phase, we investigate the effects of the pre-inflation dynamics on the scalar and tensor power spectra and find features that can be tested by current and forthcoming observations. In particular, to be consistent with the Planck 2015 data, we find that the universe must have expanded at least $141$ e-folds since the bounce.

Positive Potential: How Sex Positivity Can Benefit Legal Thinking and Sex Work Regulation in Australia

description: This article highlights the value of sex positivity as a framework for thinking about law and demonstrates this value by applying a sex positive legal approach to the regulation of sex work in Australia. This article begins by explaining sex positivity, identifying its central principles and responding to some of the criticisms of it. It then charts the emergence of a distinct line of sex positive thinking within legal commentary, catalogues sex positivity’s various uses for legal analysis and explores what the sex positive commitment to sexual autonomy means in terms of law. This article ends by generating a series of reform proposals for sex work regulation in Australia that model the operationalisation of sex positive legal thinking in practice. Ultimately, this article argues that the adoption of sex positive legal thinking allows law to contribute towards the development of a society in which access, information, resources, decision-making and accountability around sex are better facilitated and more equitably facilitated across social groups. In terms of the regulation of sex work in Australia, this would involve not just decriminalisation but also sweeping legal reforms around education, access, work and oppressive social structures.

description: We present a robust test for change-points in time series which is based on the two-sample Hodges-Lehmann estimator. We develop new limit theory for a class of statistics based on the two-sample U-quantile processes, in the case of short range dependent observations. Using this theory we can derive the asymptotic distribution of our test statistic under the null hypothesis. We study the finite sample properties of our test via a simulation study and compare the test with the classical CUSUM test and a test based on the Wilcoxon- Mann-Whitney statistic.

description: This study is an attempt to providing an insight to current major challenges of internal auditor's in performing their audit activities in selected federal ministries. To achieve the objectives of the study primary and secondary data is used. The secondary data mainly government publications and the primary data were collected using questionnaire from 68 respondents in the 8 federal public ministries. And interview is also conducted from the target group. The data is analysed using descriptive study; both qualitative &quantitative methods are used, by applying purposive sampling technique. the major findings reveals that Detailed Audit work program is not prepared & implemented, lack of consistent documented practice in conducting audit engagement and preparing working paper. internal audit reports are not prepared as per the standards, they don't have full competency in skill and knowledge at the level in which the professions demands to be, there is no special benefit given to motivate them for their unique contribution, staff shortages, lack of awareness & training and recognizing internal auditors as fault finders by management are the main basic challenges internal auditors still encounter in doing the audit engagements. and the study concludes that internal auditors economic sectors public ministries is not implemented the audit activities as per the IPPF standards of internal audit. Thus the study recommends IA should implement audit program, risk assessment as part of audit planning, continuous professional developments, and improvement of auditors remuneration and fringe benefits to encourage performance.
