description: Distributed physical user interfaces comprise networked sensors, actuators and other devices attached to a variety of computers in different locations. Developing such systems is no easy task. It is hard to track the location and status of component devices, even harder to understand, validate, test and debug how events are transmitted between devices, and hardest yet to see if the overall system behaves correctly. Our Visual Environment Explorer supports developers of these systems by visualizing the location and status of individual and/or aggregate devices. It visualizes the current event flow between devices as they are received and transmitted, as well as the event history. Events are displayable at various levels of detail. The visualization also shows the activity of applications that use these physical devices. The tool is highly interactive: developers can explore system behavior through spatial navigation, zooming, multiple simultaneous views, event filtering, details-on-demand, and time-dependent semantic zooming.

description: (Abridged) The 30 Dor region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the most vigorous star-forming region in the Local Group. Star formation in this region is taking place in low-metallicity molecular gas that is exposed to an extreme far--ultraviolet (FUV) radiation field powered by the massive compact star cluster R136. We used the NANTEN2 telescope to obtain high-angular resolution observations of the 12CO 4-3, 7-6, and 13CO 4-3 rotational lines and [CI] 3P1-3P0 and 3P2-3P1 fine-structure submillimeter transitions in 30Dor-10, the brightest CO and FIR-emitting cloud at the center of the 30Dor region. We derived the properties of the low-metallicity molecular gas using an excitation/radiative transfer code and found a self-consistent solution of the chemistry and thermal balance of the gas in the framework of a clumpy cloud PDR model. We compared the derived properties with those in the N159W region, which is exposed to a more moderate far-ultraviolet radiation field compared with 30Dor-10, but has similar metallicity. We also combined our CO detections with previously observed low-J CO transitions to derive the CO spectral-line energy distribution in 30Dor-10 and N159W. The separate excitation analysis of the submm CO lines and the neutral carbon fine structure lines shows that the mid-J CO and [CI]-emitting gas in the 30Dor-10 region has a temperature of about 160 K and a H2 density of about 10^4 cm^-3. We find that the molecular gas in 30Dor-10 is warmer and has a lower beam filling factor compared to that of N159W, which might be a result of the effect of a strong FUV radiation field heating and disrupting the low--metallicity molecular gas. We use a clumpy PDR model (including the [CII] line intensity reported in the literature) to constrain the FUV intensity to about chi_0 ~ 3100 and an average total H density of the clump ensemble of about 10^5 cm^-3 in 30Dor-10.

Effects of sawdust bedding dry matter on lying behaviour of dairy cows : a dose dependent response
Creators: name: Reich, Lindsey Janelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The objective of this thesis was to determine the effects of bedding dry matter on lying behaviour of Holstein cows. Over time bedding becomes wet with urine, feces and milk, but no research is available to guide recommendations for farmers regarding how often bedding should be replaced. I carried out two replicates of an experiment testing the effects of varying dry matter content of sawdust bedding systematically over five treatment levels. One replicate was conducted during the summer and one in the winter to test if the effects of damp bedding varied with season. The five bedding treatments averaged (± SD) 89.8 ± 3.7, 74.2 ± 6.4, 62.2 ± 6.3, and 43.9 ± 4.0, and 34.7 ± 3.8% dry matter. Over the course of the trial, minimum and maximum temperatures in the barn were 2.6 ± 2.0 and 6.8 ± 2.2º C in the winter and 13.3 ± 2.5 and 22.6 ± 4.1º C in the summer. In both seasons, five groups of three non-lactating cows were housed in free stalls bedded with sawdust. Following a five day acclimation period on dry bedding, groups were exposed to the five bedding treatments in a five by five Latin square. Each treatment lasted four days, followed by one day when the cows were provided with dry bedding. Stall usage was assessed by 24 hour video scanned at five minute intervals averaged over two days. Responses were analyzed in a mixed model with group as the observational unit. Bedding dry matter affected lying time, averaging 10.4 ± 0.4 hours per day on the wettest treatment and increasing to 11.5 ± 0.4 hours per day on the driest bedding. Lying time varied with season, averaging 12.1 ± 0.4 hours per day across treatments during the winter and 9.9 ± 0.6 hours per day during the summer, but season and bedding dry matter did not interact. These results show that wet bedding reduces lying time in a dose dependent manner during both winter and summer seasons.

description: Order statistics of periodic, Gaussian noise with 1/f^α power spectrum is investigated. Using simulations and phenomenological arguments, we find three scaling regimes for the average gap d_k= between the k-th and (k+1)-st largest values of the signal. The result d_k ~ 1/k known for independent, identically distributed variables remains valid for 05. The spectra of average ordered values ε_k= ~ k^β is also examined. The exponent β is derived from the gap scaling as well as by relating ε_k to the density of near extreme states. Known results for the density of near extreme states combined with scaling suggest that β(α=2)=1/2, β(4)=3/2, and beta(infinity)=2 are exact values. We also show that parallels can be drawn between ε_k and the quantum mechanical spectra of a particle in power-law potentials.

description: Synchronous groupware depends on the assumption that people are fully connected to the others in the group, but there are many situations (network delay, network outage, or explicit departure) where users are disconnected for various periods. There is little research dealing with disconnection in synchronous groupware from a user and application perspective; as a result, most current groupware systems do not handle disconnection events well, and several user-level problems occur. To address this limitation, we developed the Disco framework, a model for handling several types of disconnection in synchronous groupware. The framework considers how disconnections are identified, what senders and receivers should do during an absence, and what should be done with accumulated data upon reconnection. We have implemented the framework in three applications that show the feasibility, generality, and functionality of our ideas. Our framework is the first to deal with a full range of disconnection issues for synchronous groupware, and shows how groupware can better support the realities of distributed collaboration.
Modulation of AMPA receptor trafficking and its involvement in synaptic plasticity and spatial memory
Creators: name: Ge, Yuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) subtype of glutamate receptors mediates the fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain. Increasing evidence suggests that rapid movement of AMPARs into and out of synapses is the major mechanism for changes in synaptic strength, which is thought to underlie learning and memory. Although the bidirectional hippocampal synaptic plasticity, particularly long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), has been regarded as a candidate mechanism for long-term spatial memory (LSM), the precise contribution of LTP and LTD to LSM remains poorly understood. Using antagonists that target NMDARs carrying specific NR2 subunits, we found that LTP and LTD in freely moving rats can be selectively abolished by NR2A and NR2B antagonists, respectively. Using the Morris water maze, we found that only the NR2B antagonist disturbed the consolidation of LSM. In addition, a similar LSM deficit was observed when the expression of LTD was prevented by inhibiting regulated AMPAR endocytosis. Thus, these findings support a functional requirement of hippocampal LTD in the consolidation of LSM. Blocking LTP by NR2A-preferential antagonist had no effects on LSM. However, another structurally and mechanistically different LTP-specific inhibitor is still lacking. Since the expression of LTP is thought to be mediated by the facilitated exocytosis of AMPARs, we therefore attempted to identify novel AMPAR binding partner(s) using co-immunoprecipitatoin with anti-GluR1 or anti-GluR2 antibody followed by mass spectrometric analysis. We found that p97, also called valosin-containing protein (VCP), specifically interacts with and modulates trafficking of homomeric GluR1 receptors. Using various truncated and deleted constructs of GluR1, we found that p97 interacts with N-terminal of GluR1, but not GluR2, resulting in facilitated formation of homomeric GluR1 receptors by decreasing GluR1/GluR2 heteromeric receptors formation. Moreover, we found that under basal conditions, p97 retained homomeric GluR1 AMPARs in the intracellular pool, but immediately after the induction of LTP, it disassociated from GluR1 and hence, allowed these homomeric AMPARs insert into the postsynaptic membrane, thereby contributing to LTP expression. Thus, our results highlight a previously unknown molecular mechanism by which p97 regulates formation and trafficking of homomeric GluR1 AMPARs, and thereby plays a critical role in LTP expression.

description: In everyday life, our interactions with objects on real tables include how our fingertips feel those objects. In comparison, current digital interactive tables present a uniform touch surface that feels the same, regardless of what it presents visually. In this video, we demonstrate how tactile interaction can be used with digital tabletop surfaces. We present a simple and inexpensive device -- the Haptic Tabletop Puck -- that incorporates dynamic, interactive haptics into tabletop interaction. We created several applications that explore tactile feedback in the area of haptic information visualization, haptic graphical interfaces, and computer supported collaboration. In particular, we focus on how a person may interact with the friction, height, texture and malleability of digital objects.

description: A possibly immortal agent tries to maximise its summed discounted rewards over time, where discounting is used to avoid infinite utilities and encourage the agent to value current rewards more than future ones. Some commonly used discount functions lead to time-inconsistent behavior where the agent changes its plan over time. These inconsistencies can lead to very poor behavior. We generalise the usual discounted utility model to one where the discount function changes with the age of the agent. We then give a simple characterisation of time-(in)consistent discount functions and show the existence of a rational policy for an agent that knows its discount function is time-inconsistent.

description: Collaboration is an important aspect of software creation work. In field studies of 8 teams in the early stages of novel project work at 8 organizations we focused on understanding collaborative work from the perspective of both the interaction designer and the developer. We found designer-developer collaborations, often occurring in the context of team collaborations, were extensive. While some collaborations were directed towards explicit alignment work, such as prioritizing tasks, we have studied implicit alignment work, which constitutes a larger part of the overall alignment work. The form of this work varied in some respects, but in general designer-developer interactions directed towards implicit alignment were remarkably similar. Our model shows how implicit alignment work is jointly achieved; we derived it from an extensive analysis of videos of 13 collaborative events, and verified it with our observation notes and interviews. The model is applicable to a wide variety of software creation settings, including agile and non-agile teams. Our analysis shows the implications of our observations of implicit alignment work, and we conclude organizations should take practical steps to support it, as is frequently done for explicit alignment work.

description: We present an ultra broadband thin-film infrared absorber made of saw-toothed anisotropic metamaterial. Absorbtivity of higher than 95% at normal incidence is supported in a wide range of frequencies, where the full absorption width at half maximum is about 86%. Such property is retained well at a very wide range of incident angles too. Light of shorter wavelengths are harvested at upper parts of the sawteeth of smaller widths, while light of longer wavelengths are trapped at lower parts of larger tooth widths. This phenomenon is explained by the slowlight modes in anisotropic metamaterial waveguide. Our study can be applied in the field of designing photovoltaic devices and thermal emitters.

description: Anecdotal reports of paranormal experiences abound. In addition to the numerous books, films and media articles, there is a growing body of personal narratives which is readily accessed through online websites, blogs and chatrooms. By comparison, there is a paucity of documented research on spontaneous parapsychological phenomena in the academic literature. The current exploratory study sought to redress this imbalance by addressing the research problem: what types of paranormal phenomena do people spontaneously encounter, and are there unifying themes µi the reports of these experiences? This research followed the Mixed Methods Research model. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered via an online survey instrument, which was written in English. Over three thousand (N=3194) self-selecting respondents completed the questionnaire and in total, 59 countries were represented. The majority of the paranormal experients were from the United States of America (N=l979), Australia (N=485), United Kingdom (N=252), and Canada (N=228). More women (62%) than men participated in the survey, and while the dominant age group was the 18-35 year olds (45%), this was closely followed by the 36-55 year olds (43%). The survey gathered information on ten categories of paranormal experience, namely deja vu, apparitions, near-death episodes, out-of-body experiences, psychokinesis, premonitions, auras, mediumship, reincarnation, and telepathy. The survey gathered statistical data on the type, frequency, and age at onset of each type of experience. Respondents were also invited to reflect on the possible causes and the personal impact of their own parapsychological experiences.

description: We studied collaborating interface designers and software developers engaged in multidisciplinary software creation work. Twenty-one designers and developers in 8 organizations were interviewed to understand how each specialist viewed team interactions. We also shadowed most participants as they worked on novel software projects with user interface design challenges. A grounded theory analysis of interview transcripts showed that designers and developers construct unique identities in the process of collaborating that provide meaning to their artefact-mediated interactions, and that help them to effectively accomplish the work of creating novel software. Our model of interactional identities specifies a number of aspects of joint project work in which an interactional identity is expressed. We suggest these identities are constructed to bridge a gap between how designers and developers were taught to enact their roles and the demands of project-specific work.

Хотя первоначально сыновья основателя стремились вести коммерческие дела вместе, для чего была открыта бумажная фабрика, но далее их потомки изменили род деятельности. Целью предпринимательских занятий было получение большого дохода, но не стремление к стабильной прибыли.

Medvedev’s family in the capital of the Tobolsk Governorate during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Medvedev family belongs to the classical model of the traditional type: after the accumulation of the capital, it is split between the heirs; there is diversification of the capital, etc. Initially, the sons of the founder sought to conduct business affairs together, for that reason the paper mill was opened. However, their descendants changed their occupation. The purpose of entrepreneurial activities was the obtaining of a large income, but not the desire for a stable profit.
It's about time: confronting latency in the development of groupware systems
Creators: name: Savery, Cheryl

Publisher: name: ACM
Year: 2011

description: The presence of network latency leads to usability problems in distributed groupware applications. Example problems include difficulty synchronizing tightly-coupled collaboration, jarring changes in the user interface following the repair of conflicting operations, and confusion when participants discuss state that appears differently to each of them. Techniques exist that can help mitigate the effects of latency, both in the user interface and the groupware application. However, as these techniques necessitate the manipulation of state over time, the effort required to implement them can be significant. In this paper, we present timelines, a programming model allowing the explicit treatment of time in groupware applications. The model has been implemented as part of the Janus toolkit.

A new series expansion for slice regular functions

description: A promising theory of quaternion-valued functions of one quaternionic variable, now called slice regular functions, has been introduced in 2006. The basic examples of slice regular functions are power series centered at 0 on their balls of convergence. Conversely, if f is a slice regular function then it admits at each point of its domain an expansion into power series, where the powers are taken with respect to an appropriately defined multiplication *. However, the information provided by such an expansion is somewhat limited by a fact: if the center p of the series does not lie on the real axis then the set of convergence needs not be a Euclidean neighborhood of p. We are now able to construct a new type of expansion that is not affected by this phenomenon: an expansion into series of polynomials valid in open subsets of the domain. Along with this construction, we present applications to the computation of the multiplicities of zeros and of partial derivatives.

description: We present the iterative design of a virtual sandtray application for a tabletop display. The purpose of our prototype is to support sandtray therapy, a form of art therapy typically used for younger clients. A significant aspect of this therapy is the insight gained by the therapist as they observe the client interact with the figurines they use to create a scene in the sandtray. In this manner, the therapist can gain increased understanding of the client's psyche. We worked with three sandtray therapists throughout the evolution of our prototype. We describe the details of the three phases of this design process: initial face-to-face meetings, iterative design and development via distance collaboration, and a final face-to-face feedback session. This process revealed that our prototype was sufficient for therapists to gain insight about a person's psyche through their interactions with the virtual sandtray.
Two-loop corrections to partition function of Pohlmeyer-reduced theory for AdS_5 x S^5 superstring

description: Pohlmeyer reduction of AdS_5 x S^5 superstring leads to a set of equations of motion following from an action containing a bosonic Sp(2,2) x Sp(4)/[SU(2)]^4 gauged WZW term, an integrable potential and a fermionic part coupling bosons from the two factors. The original superstring and the reduced model are in direct correspondence at the classical level but their relation at the quantum level remains an open question. As was found earlier, the one-loop partition functions of the two theories computed on the respective classical backgrounds match; here we explore the fate of this relation at the two-loop level. We consider the example of the reduced theory solution corresponding to the long folded spinning string in AdS. The logarithm of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring partition function computed on the spinning string background is known to be proportional to the universal scaling function which depends on the string tension ~ ł^{1/2} where ł=λis `t Hooft coupling. Its "quantum" part is f(ł) = a1 + ł^{-1/2} a2 + ... where the one-loop term is a1 = - 3 \ln 2 and the two-loop term is minus the Catalan's constant, a2=-K. We find that the counterpart of f(ł) in the reduced theory is f'(k) =a1' + 2 k^{-1} a2' + ..., where k is the coupling of the reduced theory. Here the one-loop coefficient is the same as in the string theory, a1'= a1, while the two-loop one is a2' =a2 - 1/4 (a1)^2. Remarkably, the first Catalan's constant term here matches the string theory result if we identify the two couplings as k= 2ł^{1/2}. Nevertheless, the presence of the additional (a1)^2 ~ (\ln 2)^2 term implies that a relation between the two quantum partition functions (if any) is not a simple equality. Similar results are found in the case of AdS_3 x S^3 superstring theory where a1= - 2 \ln 2 and a2=0, while in the corresponding reduced theory a1'=a1, a2'= a2- 1/4 (a1)^2.

description: The tetragonal compound UPt2Si2 has been characterised as a moderately mass enhanced system with an antiferromagnetic ground state below T_N = 32 K. Here, we present an extensive study of the behavior in high magnetic fields. We have performed pulsed field magnetization and static field resistivity measurements on single crystalline samples UPt2Si2. Along the crystallographic a axis, at low temperatures, we find a metamagnetic-like transition in fields of the order 40 T, possibly indicating a first order transition. Along the crystallographic c axis, in magnetic fields of B>= ~24 T, we find distinct anomalies in both properties. From our analysis of the data we can distinguish new high field phases above the AFM ground state. We discuss the emergence of these new phases in the context of Fermi surface effects and the possible occurrence of a Lifshitz or electronic topological transition, this in contrast to previous modellings of UPt2Si2 based on crystal electric field effects.

description: Obesity is a growing problem among children, due in part to their sedentary lifestyles. Time spent engaged in physical activity is decreasing, while time spent playing computer and video games is on the rise. We leverage children's interest in digital games to encourage families to engage in purposeful walking. We present a GPS-based game, played on a mobile device that uses walking as a primary gameplay mechanic. Our game, PiNiZoRo, includes a fighting game, triggered at points along a real-world route, and a map editor that allows parents and recreation specialists to create custom routes in their neighbourhoods. Results from an initial focus group with parents were positive, as they showed enthusiasm for the concept, implementation, and gameplay.

description: There are few visualization techniques for displaying complex software systems with large numbers of packages and classes. One visualization technique is the System Hotspots View, whose effectiveness has yet to be validated by any empirical studies. We have conducted a user evaluation to see whether participants of our modified System Hotspots View using a large visualization wall can accurately identify key measurements and comparisons in the underlying software system. The results of our user evaluation indicate that participants were able to effectively use our modified System Hotspots View to explore the example domain: version 1.6 of the Java API. Our observations also indicate that there are issues around interacting with the visualization wall.

Cosmic Flows surveys and CLUES simulations

description: Cosmic Flows is a program to determine galaxy distances for 30,000 galaxies with systematic errors below 2%, almost ten times the number currently known and a five-fold improvement in systematics. The resultant velocity field will provide input for constrained local universe simulations: CLUES (www.clues-project.org). The observed and the simulated universe are then comparatively studied. This synergy of observations and theory distinguishes the program, and should lead to fundamental discoveries regarding the sources of deviations from the expansion of the universe. Specifically, the program should give a definitive answer to one of the most outstanding unsolved problem in cosmology: the cause of the motion of 630 km/s of our Galaxy manifested in the microwave background dipole. This paper presents current results with particular emphasis on the "great attractor" reconstruction.

description: Tabletop games provide an intimate gaming experience where groups of friends can interact in a shared space using shared physical props. Digital tabletop games show great promise in bringing this experience to video game players. However the cost of developing tabletop games is high due to the need for expensive hardware and complex software. In this paper, we introduce EquisFTIR, a low-cost hardware and software infrastructure for digital tabletop gaming. We illustrate the infrastructure through Asterocks, a novel tabletop game.

description: The realm of decision-making extends far beyond simplistic binary choices, challenging the conventional dichotomy of 'yes' or 'no'. This article advocates for a departure from binary dogma, delving into the profound complexity inherent in decisions. Decision processes are intricate, woven with influences from personal history, cultural context, and prevailing circumstances. The exploration of a flexible decision-making equation, incorporation of confidence levels, and recognition of real-world factors, like incompetence, highlight the need for a nuanced understanding of the decisional landscape. The evolution of decision-making theory necessitates embracing the intricate dance of variables, offering a more comprehensive examination of the decisional landscape and reflecting the true complexity of human decision-making.
 
Der Bereich der Entscheidungsfindung geht weit über einfache binäre Entscheidungen hinaus und stellt die konventionelle Dichotomie von "Ja" oder "Nein" in Frage. Dieser Artikel plädiert für eine Abkehr vom binären Dogma und befasst sich mit der tiefgreifenden Komplexität, die Entscheidungen innewohnt. Entscheidungsprozesse sind komplex und mit Einflüssen aus der persönlichen Geschichte, dem kulturellen Kontext und den vorherrschenden Umständen verknüpft. Die Erforschung einer flexiblen Entscheidungsgleichung, die Einbeziehung von Konfidenzniveaus und das Erkennen realer Faktoren wie Inkompetenz unterstreichen die Notwendigkeit eines differenzierten Verständnisses der Entscheidungslandschaft. Die Entwicklung der Entscheidungstheorie erfordert die Einbeziehung des komplizierten Tanzes der Variablen, um eine umfassendere Untersuchung der Entscheidungslandschaft zu ermöglichen und die wahre Komplexität menschlicher Entscheidungsfindung widerzuspiegeln.

description: In this paper, we present results from a qualitative study of collocated group console gaming. We focus on motivations for, perceptions of, and practices surrounding the shared use of console games by a variety of established groups of gamers. These groups include both intragenerational groups of youth, adults, and elders as well as intergenerational families. Our analysis highlights the numerous ways that console games serve as a computational meeting place for a diverse population of gamers.
A hybrid-chiral soliton model with broken scale invariance for nuclear matter

description: We present a model for describing nuclear matter at finite density based on quarks interacting with chiral fields, sigma and pion. The chiral Lagrangian also includes a logarithmic potential, associated with the breaking of scale invariance. We provide results for the soliton in vacuum and at finite density, using the Wigner-Seitz approximation. We show that the model can reach higher densities respect to the Linear-sigma model, up to approximately 3 rho_0 for m_sigma=1200 MeV.

description: With the inclusion of a new Run2 trigger data sample, the PHENIX Collaboration has measured the first positive direct photon (γdirect) signal in Au+Au collisions at √sNN= 200 GeV and midrapidity (|y|≤0.35). The new data has extended the previous PHENIX π0 measurement by 4 GeV/c in its pT range, thus matching the γ-direct measurement with a pT range of 1-14 GeV/c which make them the highest pT measurements yet in RHIC Au+Au. Similar to the d+Au results, these direct photon measurements represent possibly the best available confirmation of the conclusion that the aforementioned suppression effect is not due to differences in initial state hard-scattering, but rather, due to a final state medium which quenches hard quarks and gluons, but not hard direct photons.

description: Though many tabletop applications allow users to interact with the application using complex multi-touch gestures, automated tool support for testing such gestures is limited. As a result, gesture-based interactions with an application are often tested manually, which is an expensive and error prone process. In this paper, we present TouchToolkit, a tool designed to help developers automate their testing of gestures by incorporating recorded gestures into unit tests. The design of TouchToolkit was informed by a small interview study conducted to explore the challenges software developers face when debugging and testing tabletop applications. We have also conducted a preliminary evaluation of the tool with encouraging results.
Supermassive Black Holes: Connecting the Growth to the Cosmic Star Formation Rate

description: In this Letter, we present a model connecting the cosmic star formation rate (CSFR) to the growth of supermassive black holes. Considering that the evolution of the massive black hole is dominated by accretion (Soltan's argument) and that the accretion process can be described by a probabilistic function directly regulated by the CSFR, we obtain the evolution of the black hole mass density. Then using the quasar luminosity function, we determine both the functional form of the radiative efficiency and the evolution of the quasar duty-cycle as functions of the redshift. We analyze four different CSFRs showing that the quasar duty-cycle, $δ(z)$, peaks at $z\sim 8.5-11$ and so within the window associated with the reionization of the Universe. In particular, $δ_{\rm max}\sim 0.09-0.22$ depending on the CSFR. The mean radiative efficiency, $\barη(z)$, peaks at $z\sim 0.1-1.3$ with $\barη_{\rm max}\sim 0.10-0.46$ depending on the specific CSFR used. Our results also show that is not necessary a supercritical Eddington accret
