description: There has been intense interest in hierarchical reinforcement learning as a way to make Markov decision process planning more tractable, but there has been relatively little work on autonomously learning the hierarchy, especially in continuous domains. In this paper we present a method for learning a hierarchy of actions in a continuous environment. Our approach is to learn a qualitative representation of the continuous environment and then to define actions to reach qualitative states. Our method learns one or more options to perform each action. Each option is learned by first learning a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN). We approach this problem from a developmental robotics perspective. The agent receives no extrinsic reward and has no external direction for what to learn. We evaluate our work using a simulation with realistic physics that consists of a robot playing with blocks at a table.

description: Complex real-time control system is a software dense and algorithms dense system, which needs modern software engineering techniques to design. UML is an object-oriented industrial standard modeling language, used more and more in real-time domain. This paper first analyses the advantages and problems of using UML for real-time control systems design. Then, it proposes an extension of UML-RT to support time-continuous subsystems modeling. So we can unify modeling of complex real-time control systems on UML-RT platform, from requirement analysis, model design, simulation, until generation code.

description: Precise measurement of $γ$-rays following ordinary (non-radiative) capture of negative muons by natural Se, Kr, Cd and Sm, as well as isotopically enriched $^{48}$Ti, $^{76}$Se, $^{82}$Kr, $^{106}$Cd and $^{150}$Sm targets was performed by means of HPGe detectors. Energy and time distributions were investigated and total life time of negative muon in different isotopes was deduced. Detailed analysis of $γ$-lines intensity allows to extract relative yield of several daughter nuclei and partial rates of ($μ$,$ν$) capture to numerous excited levels of the $^{48}$Sc, $^{76}$As, $^{82}$Br, $^{106}$Ag and $^{150}$Tc isotopes which are considered to be virtual states of an intermediate odd-odd nucleus in 2$β$-decay of $^{48}$Ca, $^{76}$Ge, $^{82}$Se, $^{106}$Cd and $^{150}$Nd, respectively. These rates are important as an experimental input for the theoretical calculation of the nuclear matrix elements of 2$β$-decay.

description: How can an agent bootstrap up from a pixel-level representation to autonomously learn high-level states and actions using only domain general knowledge? This thesis attacks a piece of this problem and assumes that an agent has a set of continuous variables describing the environment and a set of continuous motor primitives, and poses a solution for the problem of how an agent can learn a set of useful states and effective higher-level actions through autonomous experience with the environment. There exist methods for learning models of the environment, and there also exist methods for planning. However, for autonomous learning, these methods have been used almost exclusively in discrete environments. This thesis proposes attacking the problem of learning high-level states and actions in continuous environments by using a qualitative representation to bridge the gap between continuous and discrete variable representations. In this approach, the agent begins with a broad discretization and initially can only tell if the value of each variable is increasing, decreasing, or remaining steady. The agent then simultaneously learns a qualitative representation (discretization) and a set of predictive models of the environment. The agent then converts these models into plans to form actions. The agent then uses those learned actions to explore the environment. The method is evaluated using a simulated robot with realistic physics. The robot is sitting at a table that contains one or two blocks, as well as other distractor objects that are out of reach. The agent autonomously explores the environment without being given a task. After learning, the agent is given various tasks to determine if it learned the necessary states and actions to complete them. The results show that the agent was able to use this method to autonomously learn to perform the tasks.

In this study, one neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in the B0->K0S K0S decay mode, and the flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified by its decay products. The CP-violating parameters are measured from the asymmetry in the distributions of the proper-time interval between the two B decays: S = -0.38 +0.69-0.77(stat) +-0.09(syst) and A = -0.38 +-0.38(stat) +-0.05(syst).

description: This paper aims to explore a class of static stellar equilibrium configuration of relativistic charged spheres made of a charged perfect fluid. Solving the Einstein-Maxwell field equations, we consider a particularized metric potential, Buchdahl ansatz [ Phys. Rev.116, 1027 (1959)] and then by using a simple transformation. The study is developed by matching the interior region with Riessner-Nordstr$\dot{\text{o}}$m metric as an exterior solution. The matter content the charged sphere satisfies all the energy conditions and hydrostatic equilibrium equation, i.e. the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation for the charged case is maintained. In addition to this, we also discuss some important properties of the charged sphere such as total electric charge, mass-radius relation, surface redshift, and the speed of sound are analyzed. Obtained solutions are presented by the graphical representation that provides strong evidence for a more realistic and viable stellar structure. Obtained results are compared with analogue objects with similar mass and radii, such as SAX J1808.4-3658, 4U 1538-52, PSR J1903+327, Vela X-1, and 4U1608-52. It is also noted that the Buchdahl ansatz for a given transformation provides a physically viable solution only for the charged case when $0 < K < 1$, where density and pressure are maximum at the center and monotonically decreasing towards the boundary. Obtained results are also quite important both from theoretical and astrophysical scale to analyze other compact objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, boson stars, and quark stars.

description: In this paper, we investigate the impact of T_{ox} and Vth on power performance trade-offs for on-chip caches. We start by examining the optimization of the various components of a single level cache and then extend this to two level cache systems. In addition to leakage, our studies also account for the dynamic power expanded as a result of cache misses. Our results show that one can often reduce overall power by increasing the size of the L2 cache if we only allow one pair of Vth/T_{ox} in L2. However, if we allow the memory cells and the peripherals to have their own Vth's and T_{ox}'s, we show that a two-level cache system with smaller L2's will yield less total leakage. We further show that two Vth's and two T_{ox}'s are sufficient to get close to an optimal solution, and that Vth is generally a better design knob than T_{ox} for leakage optimization, thus it is better to restrict the number of T_{ox}'s rather than Vth's if cost is a concern.

description: This thesis reports a laboratory experiment, “A Kinetics Experiment of the Reaction of Coumarin-102 with Base, Using Fluorescence”, that determines the kinetics of the reaction of a fluorescent dye with base. The reaction is studied by monitoring the loss of coumarin-102 fluorescence during ring-opening saponification by hydroxide using smartphone cameras and near-UV (“black-light”) illumination.
We introduced a new experiment that had multiple innovations, including the use of technology. The experiment has been adapted in a manner consistent with the principles of Evidence-Centered Design using content of kinetics and the scientific practice of mathematical reasoning. Student results and the implementation of a version of the experiment under remote learning conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic is also discussed.
In this study I am looking for evidence that the students improved their learning and have a better understanding of chemistry concepts after they performed the required tasks. I used Evidence-Centered Design to evaluate students’ results and Phenomenography to evaluate their experiences while performing an experiment. I measured students’ affective, cognitive and psychomotor perceptions by using the Meaningful Learning framework.
I also discussed the implications for research and teaching. It is important to understand what learning looks like in lab, what is considered a positive outcome and in which Learning Domain, and what is the evidence of learning in a chemistry laboratory. The results could be used in future research and can also be extrapolated to virtual laboratories.

Dissecting the star-formation history of starburst galaxies: the case of NGC7673

description: We have collected archival data on NGC7673 to constrain the star-formation history that produced the young star clusters and the field stellar population in this galaxy during the last 2 Gyr. We have considered the sample of 50 star clusters detected by HST/WFPC2 in the UV, V and I bands and estimated their age, intrinsic reddening, and mass via comparison of their colours with STARBURST99 models. We have found two prominent epochs of cluster formation occurred about 20 Myr and 2 Myr ago, with somewhat minor events between 3 Myr and 6 Myr ago. The star clusters are characterised by an intrinsic reddening E(B-V) < 0.4 mag and a mass lower than 2e+06 solar masses. Out of the 50 star clusters, we have selected 31 located within the boundaries of the IUE large slit that was employed to obtain the spectrum of NGC7673 between 1150 Ang. and 3350 Ang. For each cluster, we have built a synthetic spectrum corresponding to the age, mass and intrinsic reddening derived from the cluster colours, properly redshifted to NGC7673. The spectra have then been added together in a final, clusters integrated spectrum. This and the IUE and FUSE spectra of NGC7673 have allowed us to describe the star-formation history of the unresolved stars in the field as either exponentially decaying or multi-burst. In the first case, we have derived an e-folding time of 700 (900) Myr and an initial star-formation rate of 16 (13) solar masses per year when the Fitzpatrick's (Calzetti's) extinction law is used. In the case of a multi-burst star-formation history, the field population turns out to be composed by a young (< 40 Myr) component 3 (2) times brighter than the star clusters, and a component as old as 850 (450) Myr, about 200 (100) times more massive than the star clusters together.

description: The increasing complexity and the short life cycles of embedded systems are pushing the current system-on-chip designs towards a rapid increasing on the number of programmable processing units, while decreasing the gate count for custom logic. Considering this trend, this work proposes a test planning method capable of reusing available processors as test sources and sinks, and the on-chip network as the test access mechanism. Experimental results are based on ITC'02 benchmarks and on two open core processors compliant with MIPS and SPARC instruction set. The results show that the cooperative use of both the on-chip network and the embedded processors can increase the test parallelism and reduce the test time without additional cost in area and pins.

description: Beyond manual and automated post-editing, we describe an approach that takes post-editing information to automatically improve the underlying rules and lexical entries of a transfer-based Machine Translation (MT) system. This process can be divided into two main steps. In the first step, an online post-editing tool allows for easy error diagnosis and implicit error categorization. In the second step, an Automatic Rule Refiner performs error remediation, by tracking errors and suggesting repairs that are mostly lexical and morpho-syntactic in nature (such as word-order or incorrect agreement in transfer rules). This approach directly improves the intelligibility of corrected MT output and, more interestingly, it generalizes over unseen data, providing improved MT output for similar sentences that have not been corrected. Hence our approach is an alternative to fully-automated Post-Editing.
A Hybrid Prefetch Scheduling Heuristic to Minimize at Run-Time the Reconfiguration Overhead of Dynamically Reconfigurable Hardware

description: Due to the emergence of highly dynamic multimedia applications there is a need for flexible platforms and run-time scheduling support for embedded systems. Dynamic Reconfigurable Hardware (DRHW) is a promising candidate to provide this flexibility but, currently, not sufficient run-time scheduling support to deal with the run-time reconfigurations exists. Moreover, executing at run-time a complex scheduling heuristic to provide this support may generate an excessive run-time penalty. Hence, we have developed a hybrid design/run-time prefetch heuristic that schedules the reconfigurations at run-time, but carries out the scheduling computations at design-time by carefully identifying a set of near-optimal schedules that can be selected at run-time. This approach provides run-time flexibility with a negligible penalty.

description: It has been recently proposed that the shocked surface layers of exploding O-Ne-Mg cores provide the conditions for r-process nucleosynthesis, because their rapid expansion and high entropies enable heavy r-process isotopes to form even in an environment with very low initial neutron excess of the matter. We show here that the most sophisticated available hydrodynamic simulations (in spherical and axial symmetry) do not support this new r-process scenario because they fail to provide the necessary conditions of temperature, entropy, and expansion timescale by significant factors. This suggests that, either the formation of r-process elements works differently than suggested by Ning et al. (2007, NQM07), or that some essential core properties with influence on the explosion dynamics might be different from those predicted by Nomoto's progenitor model.

description: Overheating has been acknowledged as a major issue in testing complex SOCs. Several power constrained system-level DFT solutions (power constrained test scheduling) have recently been proposed to tackle this problem. However, as it will be shown in this paper, imposing a chip-level maximum power constraint doesn't necessarily avoid local overheating due to the non-uniform distribution of power across the chip. This paper proposes a new approach for dealing with overheating during test, by embedding thermal awareness into test scheduling. The proposed approach facilitates rapid generation of thermal-safer test schedules without requiring time-consuming thermal simulations. This is achieved by employing a low-complexity test session thermal model used to guide the test schedule generation algorithm. This approach reduces the chances of a design re-spin due to potential overheating during test.

description: A multidimensional cosmological model with scalar and form fields [1-4] is studied. An exact S-brane solution (either electric or magnetic) in a model with l scalar fields and one antisymmetric form of rank m > 1 is considered. This solution is defined on a product manifold containing n Ricci-flat factor spaces M_1, ..., M_n. In the case when the kinetic term for scalar fields is positive definite we singled out a special solution governed by the function cosh. It is shown that this special solution has Kasner-like asymptotics in the limits τ\to + 0 and τ\to + \infty, where τis a synchronous time variable. A relation between two sets of Kasner parameters α_{\infty} and α_0 is found. This relation, named as ``scattering law'' (SL) formula, is coinciding with the ``collision law'' (CL) formula obtained previously in [5] in a context of a billiard description of S-brane solutions near the singularity. A geometric sense of SL formula is clarified: it is shown that SL transformation is a map of a ``shadow'' part of the Kasner sphere S^{N-2} (N = n+l) onto ``illuminated'' part. This map is just a (generalized) inversion with respect to a point v located outside the Kasner sphere S^{N-2}. The shadow and illuminated parts of the Kasner sphere are defined with respect to a point-like source of light located at v. Explicit formulae for SL transformations corresponding to SM2- and SM5-brane solutions in 11-dimensional supergravity are presented.

description: With the increasing pervasiveness of wireless technologies, users will increasingly want to interact with appliances in their environment from their mobile device. One of the challenges to supporting such ubiquitous control is the creation of user interfaces for the mobile device. Should the mobile device be pre-programmed with interfaces for each appliance that it can control, should it download pre-designed user interfaces from each appliance, or should it download an abstract description of the appliance and then automatically generate a user interface to enable control? In this position paper we describe the Personal Universal Controller project, which is studying the automatic generation solution to this problem, and show how our infrastructure supports multi-device environments, which could contain a peripheral awareness device.

description: The Bregman divergence (Bregman distance, Bregman measure of distance) is a certain useful substitute for a distance, obtained from a well-chosen function (the "Bregman function"). Bregman functions and divergences have been extensively investigated during the last decades and have found applications in optimization, operations research, information theory, nonlinear analysis, machine learning and more. This paper re-examines various aspects related to the theory of Bregman functions and divergences. In particular, it presents many sufficient conditions which allow the construction of Bregman functions in a general setting and introduces new Bregman functions (such as a negative iterated log entropy). Moreover, it sheds new light on several known Bregman functions such as quadratic entropies, the negative Havrda-Charvát-Tsallis entropy, and the negative Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy, and it shows that the negative Burg entropy, which is not a Bregman function according to the classical theory but nevertheless is known to have "Bregmanian properties", can, by our re-examination of the theory, be considered as a Bregman function. Our analysis yields several by-products of independent interest such as the introduction of the concept of relative uniform convexity (a certain generalization of uniform convexity), new properties of uniformly and strongly convex functions, and results in Banach space theory.

Spatiotemporal Comparative Analysis of Pre/Post Covid-19 Pedestrian Crash Incidences in Chicago
Creators: name: Chetia, Hiya
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Introduction: Despite major transformational effects observed in vehicle traffic crashes due to COVID-19, there is little comprehensive research studying the shifts in trends of pedestrian crashes after COVID-19. This study aims at determining changes in spatiotemporal trends of pedestrian crashes taking two time periods: 2017 to 2020 (pre-COVID-19) and 2020 to 2023 (post-COVID-19).
Method: The dataset for this study is taken from the City of Chicago data portal. The temporal analysis is conducted using pedestrian crash frequencies of data such as year, month, day, and severity of the incident, from the dataset. Hotspot analysis using the Getis Ord Gi* statistic is used for the spatial analysis of the pedestrian crashes to determine concentrated spatial clusters on ArcGIS after assigning weights based on a defined Severity Index to the pedestrian crashes. Some intersections from the hotspot TAZs obtained were then visited to determine pedestrian facility faults at the intersections.
Results: The temporal analysis showed that overall pedestrian crashes increased from 2017 to 2020, suddenly dropped after the COVID-19 lockdown, and resumed growing from 2020 to 2023 after the initial plunge. Despite the decrease in overall pedestrian crashes, fatal crashes increased from 78 to 114 after COVID-19. The spatial analysis showed that hotspots in the Loop and Near North Side disappeared in the year after the lockdown, whereas hotspots in the West Side and South Side increased.
Discussion: This study shows the severe effects of COVID-19 on pedestrian crash trends and pedestrian behavior, along with effects of declining pedestrian facility conditions in low income neighborhoods, mainly consisting of Black and Hispanic communities. This study may benefit further research in the field, and also encourage transportation engineers and policymakers to address disparities in transportation planning for better and more sensitive planning to reduce overall pedestrian crashes.

description: The advent of sensor networks presents untapped opportunities for synthesis. We examine the problem of synthesis of behavioral specifications into networks of programmable sensor blocks. The particular behavioral specification we consider is an intuitive user-created network diagram of sensor blocks, each block having a pre-defined combinational or sequential behavior. We synthesize this specification to a new network that utilizes a minimum number of programmable blocks in place of the pre-defined blocks, thus reducing network size and hence network cost and power. We focus on the main task of this synthesis problem, namely partitioning pre-defined blocks onto a minimum number of programmable blocks, introducing the efficient but effective PareDown decomposition algorithm for the task. We describe the synthesis and simulation tools we developed. We provide results showing excellent network size reductions through such synthesis, and significant speedups of our algorithm over exhaustive search while obtaining near-optimal results for 15 real network designs as well as nearly 10,000 randomly generated designs.

description: The excitation of cosmological perturbations in an anisotropic cosmological model and in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field has been studied, using the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. In this case, the system of partial differential equations which governs the evolution of the magnetized cosmological perturbations can be solved analytically. Our results verify that fast-magnetosonic modes propagating normal to the magnetic field, are excited. But, what's most important, is that, at late times, the magnetic-induction contrast grows, resulting in the enhancement of the ambient magnetic field. This process can be particularly favored by condensations, formed within the plasma fluid due to gravitational instabilities.

description: As compared to a large spectrum of performance optimizations, relatively little effort has been dedicated to optimize other aspects of embedded applications such as memory space requirements, power, real-time predictability, and reliability. In particular, many modern embedded systems operate under tight memory space constraints. One way of satisfying these constraints is to compress executable code and data as much as possible. While research on code compression have studied efficient hardware and software based code strategies, many of these techniques do not take application behavior into account, that is, the same compression/decompression strategy is used irrespective of the application being optimized. This paper presents a code compression strategy based on control flow graph (CFG) representation of the embedded program. The idea is to start with a memory image wherein all basic blocks are compressed, and decompress only the blocks that are predicted to be needed in the near future. When the current access to a basic block is over, our approach also decides the point at which the block could be compressed. We propose several compression and decompression strategies that try to reduce memory requirements without excessively increasing the original instruction cycle counts.

GW170817 event rules out general relativity in favor of vector gravity

description: The observation of gravitational waves by the three LIGO-Virgo interferometers allows the examination of the polarization of gravitational waves. Here we analyze the binary neutron star event GW170817, whose source location and distance are determined precisely by concurrent electromagnetic observations. Applying a signal accumulation procedure to the LIGO-Virgo strain data, we find ratios of the signals detected by the three interferometers. We conclude that the signal ratios are inconsistent with the predictions of general relativity, but consistent with the recently proposed vector theory of gravity [Phys. Scr. 92, 125001 (2017)]. Moreover, we find that vector gravity yields a distance to the source in agreement with the astronomical observations. If our analysis is correct, Einstein's general theory of relativity is ruled out in favor of vector gravity at 99% confidence level and future gravitational wave detections by three or more observatories should confirm this conclusion with higher precision.

Domain Data Protocols for Educational Research. Domain-Specific Guidance and Cross-Disciplinary Interoperability

description: Researchers are increasingly encouraged by different stakeholders to make research processes as transparent as possible, to enable reproducible research results and to share their (research) data FAIRly and openly with others. Such requirements can be challenging, as not all researchers are familiar with the concepts of FAIR and open data. At the same time, existing tools (and guidance) to foster the creation of FAIR data – such as templates for data management plans – vary to a great extent, rarely indicating what the best practice solution is. The project Domain Data Protocols for Educational Research in Germany aims to address this issue by developing a standardized tool to create data management plans. Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, it brings together twelve German research institutions with diverse areas of expertise on educational research to develop so called Domain Data Protocols (in short DDPs). Based on a concept by Science Europe, DDPs are open, standardized, and referenceable data protocols, serving as a ‘model’ data management plan for a specific research domain, i.e. educational research in our case. DDPs are for the benefit of various stakeholders. First, they assist researchers in doing excellent data management, preparing project proposals and funding applications as well as offering support for data archiving and sharing. Second, they enable replication of results by the research community as well as the re-use of data by others in new (research) contexts. Third, DDPs simplify review processes on data management, reducing the efforts of examining funding applications and (periodical) reports on data management by implementing standardized procedures. Finally, DDPs foster data ingest in a data repository or archive, by fostering researchers in the creation of FAIR data. The development of DDPs is not without challenges, as their structure needs to be flexible enough to cover different types of data and methods and to enable researchers to reflect their individual project-specific requirements. DDPs therefore consist of different modules, e.g. in the context of data collection, documentation, legal issues, and data sharing. Each of these modules contains different elements defining a minimum set of requirements on what FAIR data look like and includes use cases, standards, relevant regulations as well as further resources on related data management practices.

description: In a perturbative QCD approach, with inclusion of spin and transverse momentum effects, experimental data on azimuthal asymmetries observed in polarized semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering and e+ e- annihilations can be used to determine the Sivers, transversity and Collins soft functions. By using these functions, within the same scheme, we predict p(transv. polarized) p -> h + X single spin asymmetries in remarkable agreement with RHIC experimental data.

description: This report summarises the reasons of the necessity of performing arc fault tests and arc fault calculations for new hybrid AC&DC-grid concepts which are targeted in HYPERRIDE. It gives an overview about the normative references and describes the workflow of doing arc fault calculations and how to validate them with arc fault experiments. It describes the starting point for the physical model building which is necessary for both, the room average method and the Finite Element Method (FEM). The FEM-method use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)and solves the Navier Stokes equations. First experimental results and a FEM calculation are discussed. A new enclosure is presented, which will be used in task T3.4 for performing systematic AC&DC arc fault experiments. The complicated physics of arcing requires a strong interaction of theory and experiments. Therefore a work flow for doing arc fault simulations in combination with arc fault experiments has been worked out.
