The effects of social role attitudes on the planning behavior of First Nations mothers
Creators: name: Atleo, Marlene R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: A common perception by non-natives is that First Nations people do not plan. Conversely, this study takes the position that planning is a universal human ability embedded in social relations and investigates how First Nations families plan. The pattern of planning and social role expectations of the First Nations mother were investigated in the Family Resource Management Framework (Deacon & Firebaugh, 1989) for which the authors claim cross cultural utility. Using the framework, the "Maternal Social Role Attitude and Planning Model", was developed to guide the study in a bicultural context. Guided by this model, the relationships between the personal value of and commitment to (salience) social expectations of First Nations mothers in four life roles, the sociodemographic attributes of mothers and families, and their planning behaviors were explored. Forty First Nations mothers with school aged children responded to the survey through First Nations organizations and affiliations. The three-part questionnaire included demographic measures, the Planning Behavior Scale and the Life Role Salience Scale. Scale management, validation, and performance with this population were discussed. Three dimensions of planning were identified (morphostatic planning, morphogenic planning, and adherence to rules). Social role attitudes in order of salience were: parental role, home care role, occupational role, and marital role. Salience of occupational role attitudes and income were the most important predictors of planning generally. Lower levels of educational status specifically predicted planning by adherence to rules. A multiple regression test of the model revealed characteristics of the family and maternal systems and maternal social role attitudes that contributed significantly to explaining three dimensions of planning behavior in First Nations families. Adherence to rules and morphostatic planning were explained by the maternal social attitude, occupational role salience, and income. Morphogenic planning was explained by, income, living in a smaller community, and the maternal social attitude, occupational role salience. The maternal social role attitude, occupational role salience, was shown to make an important positive contribution to the planning of First Nations mothers. The performance of the model as an analytical tool has provided some knowledge about the planning behavior of First Nations mothers.

description: Hypertoric varieties are hyperkähler analogues of toric varieties, and are constructed as abelian hyperkähler quotients of a quaternionic affine space. Just as symplectic toric orbifolds are determined by labelled polytopes, orbifold hypertoric varieties are intimately related to the combinatorics of hyperplane arrangements. By developing hyperkähler analogues of symplectic techniques developed by Goldin, Holm, and Knutson, we give an explicit combinatorial description of the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology of an orbifold hypertoric variety in terms of the combinatorial data of a rational cooriented weighted hyperplane arrangement. We detail several explicit examples, including some computations of orbifold Betti numbers (and Euler characteristics).

description: The negative sign of the anomalous Nernst thermopower ($S_\text{ANE}$) observed in Mn-Ga ordered alloys is an attractive property for thermoelectric applications exploiting the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE); however, its origin has not been clarified. In this study, to gain insight into the negative $S_\text{ANE}$, we prepared epitaxial thin films of Mn$_{x}$Ga$_{100-x}$ with $x$ ranging from 56.2 to 71.7, and systematically investigated the structural, magnetic, and transport properties including the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and the ANE. The measured $S_\text{ANE}$ is negative for all samples and shows close to one order of magnitude difference among different compositions. Together with the measured transport properties, we were able to separate the two different contributions of the ANE, i.e., one originating from the transverse thermoelectric coefficient ($α_{xy}$), and the other one originating from the AHE acting on the longitudinal carrier flow induced by the Seebeck effect. Both contributions are found to be negative for all samples, while the experimentally obtained negative $α_{xy}$ exhibits a monotonic increase towards zero with increasing $x$, which is consistent with the tendency indicated by first-principles calculations. Our results show that the large difference in the negative $S_\text{ANE}$ is mostly attributed to $α_{xy}$, and thus shed light on further enhancement of the ANE in Mn-based ordered alloys.

description: The loading of resources from third-parties has evoked new security and privacy concerns about the current world wide web. Building on the concepts of forced and implicit trust, this paper examines cross-domain transmission control protocol (TCP) connections that are initiated to domains other than the domain queried with a web browser. The dataset covers nearly ten thousand domains and over three hundred thousand TCP connections initiated by querying popular Finnish websites and globally popular sites. According to the results, (i) cross-domain connections are extremely common in the current Web. (ii) Most of these transmit encrypted content, although mixed content delivery is relatively common; many of the cross-domain connections deliver unencrypted content at the same time. (iii) Many of the cross-domain connections are initiated to known web advertisement domains, but a much larger share traces to social media platforms and cloud infrastructures. Finally, (iv) the results differ slightly between the Finnish web sites sampled and the globally popular sites. With these results, the paper contributes to the ongoing work for better understanding cross-domain connections and dependencies in the world wide web.

description: Η εργασία αυτή θα συζητήσει από φεμινιστική σκοπιά τις διαφημίσεις που εμφανίζονται στα κοινωνικά μέσα. Σε ένα πλαίσιο πατριαρχικής κοινωνίας, η γυναίκα χρησιμοποιείται «διακοσμητικά» σε διάφορες διαφημίσεις, ανεξάρτητα από το περιεχόμενο τους ή το προϊόν που διαφημίζεται. Η έρευνα είναι εστιασμένη στην προβολή της γυναικείας εικόνας σε διαφημίσεις που αφορούν κυρίως σε προϊόντα και υπηρεσίες ομορφιάς και ευεξίας, όπως γυμναστήρια, καλλυντικά, προϊόντα γυναικείας υγιεινής και προϊόντα ανδρικού καλλωπισμού και προβάλλονται στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης. Σκοπός είναι να αποδειχθεί πως παρόλο που ζούμε σε μια κοινωνία που εξελίσσεται και μεταβάλλεται συνεχώς, η πρόοδος είναι υποτυπώδης και επιφανειακή, όσο ο σεξισμός μένει βαθιά ριζωμένος.
description: This paper will discuss from a feminist perspective the ads that appear on social media. In a patriarchal society, women are used "decoratively" in various advertisements, regardless of their content or the product being advertised. The research focuses on the promotion of the female image in ads that focus primarily on beauty and wellness products and services, such as gyms, cosmetics, women's hygiene products and men's beauty products, and are featured on social media. The goal is to prove that, even though we live in a constantly evolving society, progress is implicit and superficial, as long as sexism remains deeply rooted.

description: We show that two-dimensional arrays of thin metallic wires can guide transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves and focus them to the spatial dimensions much smaller that the vacuum wavelength. This guiding property is retained for the tapered wire bundles which can be used as multi-channel TEM endoscopes: they capture a detailed electromagnetic field profile created by deeply sub-wavelength features of the studied sample and magnify it for observation. The resulting imaging method is superior to the conventional scanning microscopy because of the parallel nature of the image acquisition by multiple metal wires. Possible applications include terahertz and mid-infrared endoscopy with nanoscale resolution.

description: Accurate forecasting of medical service requirements is an important big data problem that is crucial for resource management in critical times such as natural disasters and pandemics. With the global spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), several concerns have been raised regarding the ability of medical systems to handle sudden changes in the daily routines of healthcare providers. One significant problem is the management of ambulance dispatch and control during a pandemic. To help address this problem, we first analyze ambulance dispatch data records from April 2014 to August 2020 for Nagoya City, Japan. Significant changes were observed in the data during the pandemic, including the state of emergency (SoE) declared across Japan. In this study, we propose a deep learning framework based on recurrent neural networks to estimate the number of emergency ambulance dispatches (EADs) during a SoE. The fusion of data includes environmental factors, the localization data of mobile phone users, and the past history of EADs, thereby providing a general framework for knowledge discovery and better resource management. The results indicate that the proposed blend of training data can be used efficiently in a real-world estimation of EAD requirements during periods of high uncertainties such as pandemics.

description: Resonant beam communications (RBCom) is capable of providing wide bandwidth when using light as the carrier. Besides, the RBCom system possesses the characteristics of mobility, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and multiplexing. Nevertheless, the channel of the RBCom system is distinct from other light communication technologies due to the echo interference issue. In this paper, we reveal the mechanism of the echo interference and propose the method to eliminate the interference. Moreover, we present an exemplary design based on frequency shifting and optical filtering, along with its mathematic model and performance analysis. The numerical evaluation shows that the channel capacity is greater than 15 bit/s/Hz.
The adolescent female’s experience of pregnancy

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Adolescent pregnancy is of concern to health professionals, adolescents themselves, and the communities in which they live. Much of the concern centers around health and social issues for the adolescent and her child. Adolescent females who become pregnant experience two developmental events simultaneously: adolescence and pregnancy. This makes their experience unique from other pregnant females. In order to optimize the health of adolescents and their infants during pregnancy, nurses need to understand the experience from the teens' perspective. Few studies have examined this experience from the adolescent's perspective. There is a paucity of discussion about nursing's role in the vast body of literature on adolescent pregnancy. The qualitative research method of phenomenology was utilized to investigate the female adolescent's experience of pregnancy, because it allowed the researcher to gain insight into the participants' lives as they were lived. Data were obtained from eight female adolescents during audio-tape recorded interviews. Trigger questions were used to explore the adolescent's perceptions of their experience of pregnancy. The interview audio-tapes were transcribed verbatim immediately following each interview. Giorgi's (1985) method of analysis wasused to identify themes in the data. Second interviews were usedto explore, clarify, and validate the emerging themes. Two central interrelated themes emerged from the data analysis. First, the young women described ambivalent feelings that they experienced throughout their pregnancies. Secondly, they viewed their pregnancies as a life changing event. The life change was characterized by five phases: (a) suspecting the pregnancy, (b) confirming the pregnancy, (c) making decisions about the pregnancy, (d) living the reality of the pregnancy, and (e) experiencing a changed life. Each young woman's experience of pregnancy was shaped by identified environmental and other factors that were important to her. The findings can assist nurses to provide better care for adolescents and their families. Two major conclusions were identified: (a) pregnancy and motherhood provided young women from unstable environments with meaning and a sense of purpose, (b) ambivalence captured the emotional impact of experiencing pregnancy and adolescence simultaneously for this vulnerable group. A variety of implications for nursing practice, education, research, and public policy are discussed.

description: We searched for X-ray supernova remnants (SNRs) in the starburst region of M82, using archival data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory with a total effective exposure time of 620 ks with an X-ray spectroscopic selection. Strong line-emission from Fe xxv at 6.7 keV is a characteristic spectral feature of hot, shocked gas of young SNRs and distinctive among the discrete sources in the region populated by X-ray binaries. We selected candidates using narrow-band imaging aimed at the line excess and identified six (and possibly a seventh) X-ray SNRs. Two previously known examples were recovered by our selection. Five of them have radio counterparts, including the radio supernova SN2008iz, which was discovered as a radio transient in 2008. It shows a hard X-ray spectrum with a blueshifted Fe K feature with v ~ -2700 km/s, both of which suggest its youth. The 4-8 keV luminosities of the selected SNRs are in the range of (0.3-3)e38 erg/s. We made a crude estimate of the supernova rate, assuming that more luminous SNRs are younger, and found 0.06 (0.03-0.13) /yr, in agreement with the supernova rates estimated by radio observations and the generally believed star formation rate of M82, although the validity of the assumption is questionable. A sum of the Fe xxv luminosity originating from the selected X-ray SNRs consists of half of the total Fe xxv luminosity observed in the central region of M82. We briefly discuss its implications for starburst winds and the Fe xxv emission in more luminous starburst galaxies.

description: We describe the development of an FX style correlator for Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), implemented in software and intended to run in multi-processor computing environments, such as large clusters of commodity machines (Beowulf clusters) or computers specifically designed for high performance computing, such as multi-processor shared-memory machines. We outline the scientific and practical benefits for VLBI correlation, these chiefly being due to the inherent flexibility of software and the fact that the highly parallel and scalable nature of the correlation task is well suited to a multi-processor computing environment. We suggest scientific applications where such an approach to VLBI correlation is most suited and will give the best returns. We report detailed results from the Distributed FX (DiFX) software correlator, running on the Swinburne supercomputer (a Beowulf cluster of approximately 300 commodity processors), including measures of the performance of the system. For example, to correlate all Stokes products for a 10 antenna array, with an aggregate bandwidth of 64 MHz per station and using typical time and frequency resolution presently requires of order 100 desktop-class compute nodes. Due to the effect of Moore's Law on commodity computing performance, the total number and cost of compute nodes required to meet a given correlation task continues to decrease rapidly with time. We show detailed comparisons between DiFX and two existing hardware-based correlators: the Australian Long Baseline Array (LBA) S2 correlator, and the NRAO Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) correlator. In both cases, excellent agreement was found between the correlators. Finally, we describe plans for the future operation of DiFX on the Swinburne supercomputer, for both astrophysical and geodetic science.

Βασικό στοιχείο καινοτομίας της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν επίσης η μελέτη της δυνατότητας απομάκρυνσης του αζώτου (νιτροποίησης/απονιτροποίησης) από το σύστημα. Τα πειράματα πραγματοποιήθηκαν στην πιλοτική μονάδα ενός συστήματος MBR το οποίο επεξεργάστηκε συνθετικό αστικό λύμα. Οι παράμετροι που μεταβάλλονταν κατά την διάρκεια των πειραμάτων, ώστε να μελετηθεί η επίδρασή τους στην ανάπτυξη των νηματοειδών μικροοργανισμών και κατ’ επέκταση στην έμφραξη, ήταν ο λόγος COD:TN, η συγκέντρωση του διαλυμένου οξυγόνου στο δοχείο ανάπτυξης νηματοειδών και η θερμοκρασία της ιλύος, η οποία ακολουθούσε την εποχιακή θερμοκρασιακή μεταβολή. Η εκτίμηση της παρουσίας των νηματοειδών στην ιλύ έγινε με τον προσδιορισμό του δείκτη νηματοειδών FI. Οι παραπάνω παραμέτροι μελετήθηκαν σε σχέση με την εξέλιξη της διαμεμβρανικής πίεσης εκατέρωθεν της μεμβράνης (TMP), της συγκέντρωσης του υδατανθρακικού κλάσματος των διαλυτών μικροβιακών προϊόντων της ιλύος (SMPc), της διηθησιμότητας της ιλύος και της καθιζησιμότητας της ιλύος. Τέλος, εξετάστηκε η ποιότητα εκροής της μονάδας με τη μέτρηση φυσικοχημικών παραμέτρων, όπως το COD και η συγκέντρωση του ολικού (TN), αμμωνιακού (NH4+-N) και νιτρικού (NO3--N) αζώτου.
description: The present work aims to study the effect of operating conditions on maintaining the population of filamentous mircoorganisms at moderate levels and, thus, favour fouling mitigation. Along with the aforementioned study, the novelty of the present work is extended to the investigation of the system’s capacity to remove nitrogen (nitrification/denitrification). The experiments were performed in a pilot-scale MBR system which treated synthetic municipal wastewater. The parameters which were altered during the experiments in order to study their effect on the development of filaments and, consequently, on membrane fouling, were the ratio COD to TN, the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the filaments’ tank and the sludge temperature, which followed the seasonal temperature fluctuation. The presence of filamentous microorganisms in the sludge was assessed by the determination of the Filament Index (FI). The aforementioned parameters were examined in relation to the development of Trans-Membrane Pressure (TMP), concentration of the carbohydrate fraction of Soluble Microbial Products (SMPc), sludge filterability and sludge settleability. Finally, the system’s effluent quality and removal capacity was also investigated by measuring the concentration of COD, TN, NH4+-N, NO3-N in the effluent.

description: We present a real-time neural radiance caching method for path-traced global illumination. Our system is designed to handle fully dynamic scenes, and makes no assumptions about the lighting, geometry, and materials. The data-driven nature of our approach sidesteps many difficulties of caching algorithms, such as locating, interpolating, and updating cache points. Since pretraining neural networks to handle novel, dynamic scenes is a formidable generalization challenge, we do away with pretraining and instead achieve generalization via adaptation, i.e. we opt for training the radiance cache while rendering. We employ self-training to provide low-noise training targets and simulate infinite-bounce transport by merely iterating few-bounce training updates. The updates and cache queries incur a mild overhead -- about 2.6ms on full HD resolution -- thanks to a streaming implementation of the neural network that fully exploits modern hardware. We demonstrate significant noise reduction at the cost of little induced bias, and report state-of-the-art, real-time performance on a number of challenging scenarios.

description: In a molecular scenario, we investigate the isospin-breaking hidden charm decay processes of $X(3872)$, i.e., $X(3872) \to π^+ π^- J/ψ$, $X(3872) \to π^+ π^- π^0 J/ψ$, and $X(3872)\to π^0χ_{cJ}$. We assume that the source of the strong isospin violation comes from the different coupling strengths of $X(3872)$ to its charged components $D^{\ast +} D^-$ and neutral components $D^{\ast 0 } \bar{D}^0$ as well as the interference between the charged meson loops and neutral meson loops. The former effect could fix our parameters by using the measurement of the ratio $Γ[X(3872) \to π^+ π^- π^0 J/ψ]/Γ[X(3872) \to π^+ π^- J/ψ]$. With the determined parameter range, we find that the estimated ratio $Γ[X(3872) \to π^0 χ_{c1}/Γ[X(3872) \to π^+ π^- J/ψ]$ is well consistent with the experimental measurement from the BESIII collaboration. Moreover, the partial width ratio of $π^0 χ_{cJ}$ for $J=0,1,2$ is estimated to be $1.77\sim1.65:1:1.09\sim1.43$, which could be tested by further precise measurements of BESIII and Belle II.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the detailed overview of the forms of provisionary protection of possession - with emphasis on the interim measures of the possession, regulated in Articles 733-734 CCP, and the cases of the protocols of administrative expulsion and expulsion of the previous owner from a forcibly expropriated property- and the presentation of the various problems and marginal cases of a procedural - and not only - nature resulting from their application. In particular, the first part refers briefly to the meaning and functioning of possession under substantive law. The second part analyses in detail the institution of interim measures of possession in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, while the third part is devoted to the study of the specific issues and particular problems that arise in practice in the application of those provisions. The fourth and final part presents the particular forms of interim protection of possession and in particular the administrative expulsion protocols, aimed at protecting public property and the expulsion from forced expropriated property, which serves the need to quickly complete the process of forced expropriation and the establishment of new owners.

description: We report the discovery of twenty-one hitherto unknown bright southern ultracool dwarfs with spectral types in the range M7 to L5.5, together with new observations of a further three late M dwarfs previously confirmed. Three more objects are already identified in the literature as high proper motion stars;we derive their spectral types for the first time. All objects were selected from the 2MASS All Sky and SuperCOSMOS point source databases on the basis of their optical/near-infrared colours, $J$-band magnitudes and proper motions. Low resolution (R $\sim$ 1000) $JH$ spectroscopy with the ESO/NTT SOFI spectrograph has confirmed the ultracool nature of 24 targets, out of a total of 25 candidates observed. Spectral types are derived by direct comparison with template objects and compared to results from H$_2$O and FeH indices. We also report the discovery of one binary, as revealed by SOFI acquisition imaging; spectra were taken for both components. The spectral types of the two components are L2 and L4 and the distance $\sim$ 19 pc. Spectroscopic distances and transverse velocities are derived for the sample. Two $\sim$ L5 objects lie only $\sim$ 10 pc distant. Such nearby objects are excellent targets for further study to derive their parallaxes and to search for fainter, later companions with AO and/or methane imaging.

description: We report the results of our in-depth analysis of spectroscopic and thermodynamic properties of a multi-orbital metal, like FeSe, which first develops a nematic order and then undergoes a transition into a superconducting state, which co-exists with nematicity. We analyze the angular dependence of the gap function and specific heat $C_V (T)$ of such nematic superconductor. We specifically address three issues: (i) angular dependence of the gap in light of the competition between nematicity-induced $s$-$d$ mixture and orbital transmutation of low-energy excitations in the nematic state, (ii) the effect of nematicity on the magnitude of the jump of the specific heat $C_V (T)$ at $T_c$ and the temperature dependence of $C_V (T)$ below $T_c$, and (iii) a potential transition at $T_{c1} < T_c$ from an $s+d$ state to an $s + e^{iη} d$ state that breaks time-reversal symmetry. We consider two scenarios for a nematic order: scenario A, in which this order develops between $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$ orbitals on hole and electron pockets and scenario B, in which there is an additional component of the nematic order for $d_{xy}$ fermions on the two electron pockets.

description: We describe the intersecting brane configuration of type IIA string theory corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua in four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric SU(N_c) gauge theory with an antisymmetric flavor, a conjugate symmetric flavor, eight fundamental flavors, m_f fundamental flavors and m_f antifundamental flavors. This is done by analyzing the N=1 supersymmetric SU(2m_f-N_c+4) magnetic gauge theory with dual matters and the corresponding dual superpotential.

State Transfer and Spin Measurement

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a Hamiltonian that can be used for amplifying the signal from a quantum state, enabling the measurement of a macroscopic observable to determine the state of a single spin. We prove a general mapping between this Hamiltonian and an exchange Hamiltonian for arbitrary coupling strengths and local magnetic fields. This facilitates the use of existing schemes for perfect state transfer to give perfect amplification. We further prove a link between the evolution of this fixed Hamiltonian and classical Cellular Automata, thereby unifying previous approaches to this amplification task. Finally, we show how to use the new Hamiltonian for perfect state transfer in the, to date, unique scenario where total spin is not conserved during the evolution, and demonstrate that this yields a significantly different response in the presence of decoherence.

New social movements, Claus Offe, and environmental groups in British Columbia
Creators: name: Benson, Donna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: New Social Movement Theory characterizes post 1960's protest movements such as the peace, environment and women's movement as being distinctively different from older movements such as the workers movement. The salient differences are in the social bases from which the movements draw their participants,the types of issues which are addressed, and the methods used in their protest. New Social Movements are heralded as being the vanguard for social change by some and as a bourgeoise distraction from the "real" project of emancipation by others. The objective of this thesis is to examine the congruence of the environmental movement in British Columbia with this concept of New Social Movements. Using the theoretical formulations of Claus Offe as a base, the thesis examines the social makeup of environmental groups in British Columbia, reviews the types of issues on which they are working, and identifies the methods which they employ in their protests. The results indicate that, while the leadership may be drawn from a more highly educated and service oriented new middle class, the general membership represents a broad social base. The issues addressed by the movement are perceived as being for the "benefit of all" rather than for a specific social class, and the methods of protest employed are primarily of a "working for change within the systems" approach as opposed to overthrowing any established political system. The thesis concludes that, while there may be elements of radicalism within the movement, it is primarily characterized as reformist, with many small fragments working on specific issues, loosely networked, and dedicated to working with government and other sectors of the population to find solutions.
Investigating Modes of Activity and Guidance for Mediating Museum Exhibits in Mixed Reality

description: We present an exploratory case study describing the design and realisation of a ''pure mixed reality'' application in a museum setting, where we investigate the potential of using Microsoft's HoloLens for object-centred museum mediation. Our prototype supports non-expert visitors observing a sculpture by offering interpretation that is linked to visual properties of the museum object. The design and development of our research prototype is based on a two-stage visitor observation study and a formative study we conducted prior to the design of the application. We present a summary of our findings from these studies and explain how they have influenced our user-centred content creation and the interaction design of our prototype. We are specifically interested in investigating to what extent different constructs of initiative influence the learning and user experience. Thus, we detail three modes of activity that we realised in our prototype. Our case study is informed by research in the area of human-computer interaction, the humanities and museum practice. Accordingly, we discuss core concepts, such as gaze-based interaction, object-centred learning, presence, and modes of activity and guidance with a transdisciplinary perspective.

description: We investigate solutions of the classical Einstein or supergravity equations that solve any set of quantum corrected Einstein equations in which the Einstein tensor plus a multiple of the metric is equated to a symmetric conserved tensor $T_{μν}$ constructed from sums of terms the involving contractions of the metric and powers of arbitrary covariant derivatives of the curvature tensor. A classical solution, such as an Einstein metric, is called {\it universal} if, when evaluated on that Einstein metric, $T_{μν}$ is a multiple of the metric. A Ricci flat classical solution is called {\it strongly universal} if, when evaluated on that Ricci flat metric, $T_{μν}$ vanishes. It is well known that pp-waves in four spacetime dimensions are strongly universal. We focus attention on a natural generalisation; Einstein metrics with holonomy ${\rm Sim} (n-2)$ in which all scalar invariants are zero or constant. In four dimensions we demonstrate that the generalised Ghanam-Thompson metric is weakly universal and that the Goldberg-Kerr metric is strongly universal; indeed, we show that universality extends to all 4-dimensional ${\rm Sim}(2)$ Einstein metrics. We also discuss generalizations to higher dimensions.

description: Beyond a critical disorder, two-dimensional (2D) superconductors become insulating. In this Superconductor-Insulator Transition (SIT), the nature of the insulator is still controversial. Here, we present an extensive experimental study on insulating Nb_{x}Si_{1-x} close to the SIT, as well as corresponding numerical simulations of the electrical conductivity. At low temperatures, we show that electronic transport is activated and dominated by charging energies. The sample thickness variation results in a large spread of activation temperatures, fine-tuned via disorder. We show numerically and experimentally that the localization length varies exponentially with thickness. At the lowest temperatures, overactivated behavior is observed in the vicinity of the SIT and the increase in the activation energy can be attributed to the superconducting gap. We derive a relation between the increase in activation energy and the temperature below which overactivated behavior is observed. This relation is verified by many different quasi-2D systems.

description: In the present photoemission study of a cuprate superconductor Bi1.74Pb0.38Sr1.88CuO6+delta, we discovered a large scale dispersion of the lowest band, which unexpectedly follows the band structure calculation very well. The incoherent nature of the spectra suggests that the hopping-dominated dispersion occurs possibly with the assistance of local spin correlations. A giant kink in the dispersion is observed, and the complete self-energy containing all interaction information is extracted for a doped cuprate in the low energy region. These results recovered significant missing pieces in our current understanding of the electronic structure of cuprates.

description: Increasing communication and self-driving capabilities for road vehicles lead to threats imposed by attackers. Especially attacks leading to safety violations have to be identified to address them by appropriate measures. The impact of an attack depends on the threat exploited, potential countermeasures and the traffic situation. In order to identify such attacks and to use them for testing, we propose the systematic approach SaSeVAL for deriving attacks of autonomous vehicles. SaSeVAL is based on threats identification and safety-security analysis. The impact of automotive use cases to attacks is considered. The threat identification considers the attack interface of vehicles and classifies threat scenarios according to threat types, which are then mapped to attack types. The safety-security analysis identifies the necessary requirements which have to be tested based on the architecture of the system under test. lt determines which safety impact a security violation may have, and in which traffic situations the highest impact is expected. Finally, the results of threat identification and safety-security analysis are used to describe attacks. The goal of SaSeVAL is to achieve safety validation of the vehicle w.r.t. security concerns. lt traces safety goals to threats and to attacks explicitly. Hence, the coverage of safety concerns by security testing is assured. Two use cases of vehicle communication and autonomous driving are investigated to prove the applicability of the approach.
