description: We give the formulation in extended superspace of an $N=2$ supersymmetric KP hierarchy using chirality preserving pseudo-differential operators. We obtain two quadratic hamiltonian structures, which lead to different reductions of the KP hierarchy. In particular we find two different hierarchies with the $N=2$ classical super-${\cal W}_n$ algebra as a hamiltonian structure. The relation with the formulation in $N=1$ superspace is carried out.

description: Thermodynamic properties of diamond are theoretically investigated on the ground of self-consistent description of a phonon gas in lattice, which generalizes the Debye model with taking into account the phonon-phonon interaction. It is shown that, at high temperatures, the theory predicts the linear in the temperature deviation of the isochoric heat capacity from the Dulong-Petit law. Unlike for the most crystals, where the decrease in the isochoric heat capacity is observed, our calculations for diamond predict the linear increase of the isochoric heat capacity with the temperature, viewed experimentally. The isobaric heat capacity of diamond, similar to other substances, linearly increases with the temperature.

description: Advances in IoT technologies combined with new algorithms have enabled the collection and processing of high-rate multi-source data streams that quantify human behavior in a fine-grained level and can lead to deeper insights on individual behaviors as well as on the interplay between behaviors and the environment. In this paper, we present an integrated system that collects and extracts multiple behavioral and environmental indicators, aiming at improving public health policies for tackling obesity. Data collection takes place using passive methods based on smartphone and smartwatch applications that require minimal interaction with the user. Our goal is to present a detailed account of the design principles, the implementation processes, and the evaluation of integrated algorithms, especially given the challenges we faced, in particular (a) integrating multiple technologies, algorithms, and components under a single, unified system, and (b) large scale (big data) requirements. We also present evaluation results of the algorithms on datasets (public for most cases) such as an absolute error of 8-9 steps when counting steps, 0.86 F1-score for detecting visited locations, and an error of less than 12 mins for gross sleep time. Finally, we also briefly present studies that have been materialized using our system, thus demonstrating its potential value to public authorities and individual researchers.

description: C4 species have been spreading in Central Europe for the last two decades. At present there are 67 species to be found. 48 C4 species are growing in Germany, most of them are annuals. Their habitats are characterized by high light intensity and low competition, e. g. railway stations, maize fields or banks of large rivers. Alien C4 plants have become established as agriophytes only on the banks of some rivers like Rhine, III, Elbe or Ticino. At present there is no danger to the indigenous flora. A long-time monitoring is proposed to watch the further spreading.

description: Scientific imaging problems are often severely ill-posed, and hence have significant intrinsic uncertainty. Accurately quantifying the uncertainty in the solutions to such problems is therefore critical for the rigorous interpretation of experimental results as well as for reliably using the reconstructed images as scientific evidence. Unfortunately, existing imaging methods are unable to quantify the uncertainty in the reconstructed images in a manner that is robust to experiment replications. This paper presents a new uncertainty quantification methodology based on an equivariant formulation of the parametric bootstrap algorithm that leverages symmetries and invariance properties commonly encountered in imaging problems. Additionally, the proposed methodology is general and can be easily applied with any image reconstruction technique, including unsupervised training strategies that can be trained from observed data alone, thus enabling uncertainty quantification in situations where there is no ground truth data available. We demonstrate the proposed approach with a series of numerical experiments and through comparisons with alternative uncertainty quantification strategies from the state-of-the-art, such as Bayesian strategies involving score-based diffusion models and Langevin samplers. In all our experiments, the proposed method delivers remarkably accurate high-dimensional confidence regions and outperforms the competing approaches in terms of estimation accuracy, uncertainty quantification accuracy, and computing time.

description: This work derives an upper bound on the maximum cardinality of a family of graphs on a fixed number of vertices, in which the intersection of every two graphs in that family contains a subgraph that is isomorphic to a specified graph H. Such families are referred to as H-intersecting graph families. The bound is derived using the combinatorial version of Shearer's lemma, and it forms a nontrivial extension of the bound derived by Chung, Graham, Frankl, and Shearer (1986), where H is specialized to a triangle. The derived bound is expressed in terms of the chromatic number of H, while a relaxed version, formulated using the Lovász $\vartheta$-function of the complement of H, offers reduced computational complexity. Additionally, a probabilistic version of Shearer's lemma, combined with properties of the Shannon entropy, are employed to establish bounds related to the enumeration of graph homomorphisms, providing further insights into the interplay between combinatorial structures and information-theoretic principles.

description: Acetylcholine acts as a neuromodulator in the central nervous system as it plays an important role in the control of motor and cognitive functions. However, little is known about how motor control and cognition is affected by targeted pharmacological interventions that alter central cholinergic neurotransmission. As such, this Thesis investigated the effects of over-the-counter medications with varying degrees of central anticholinergic activity on oculomotor function (smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movement), ocular responses (pupil diameter and blink rate) and cognition (attention network test) in healthy young adults. All experiments were double-blind, placebo controlled, human, four-way cross-over trials. Physiological responses were obtained from each subject pre-ingestion as well as 0.5 h and 2 h post-ingestion of promethazine hydrochloride (strong centrally acting anticholinergic), hyoscine hydrobromide (moderate centrally acting anticholinergic), hyoscine butylbromide (anticholinergic devoid of central properties), and a placebo.

description: We investigate the topological classification of excitations in quadratic bosonic systems with an excitation band gap. Time-reversal, charge-conjugation, and parity symmetries in bosonic systems are introduced to realize a ten-fold symmetry classification. We find a specific decomposition of the quadratic bosonic Hamiltonian and use it to prove that each quadratic bosonic system is homotopic to a direct sum of two single-particle subsystems. The topological classification table is thus derived via inheriting from that of Atland-Zirnbauer classes and unique topological phases of bosons are predicted. Finally, concrete topological models are proposed to demonstrate the peculiarity of bosonic excitations.

description: Head-mounted immersive media (XR) places challenges on our ability to “cope skillfully,” with what we encounter. Experientially, these technologies layer content, muddle our perception, re-orient our body in space, and can even seem to contradict laws of physics. They mediate the experience of our own bodies and interactions with others. These qualities make XR difficult to negotiate, as our bodies, both physiologically and cognitively, are directly implicated. Investigating XR from the lens of embodied interaction, this thesis defines and examines a particular social (i.e. multi-participant) manifestation of XR: asymmetric, co-located, co-present, mixed reality (ACLCPMR), and identifies key elements of embodied and relational experience within this medium.
Addressing a gap in current research regarding the affective nature of embodied interaction in XR, this thesis advocates for socially and physically mindful XR experiences, and formulates relevant design methods and considerations for future XR designers. An ACLCPMR design probe, Wake, and corresponding findings from a user study (N = 25) are presented. Wake, a social experience for one participant in-headset, one dancer, and one facilitator, uses a combination of an HTC Vive headset, Vive trackers, and an Intel RealSense depth camera to allow a participant to perceive virtualized real-time renderings of, and collaborate in simple movements with, a live, co-located, co-present dancer.
Trust in co-present head-mounted XR, a key emergent theme from the user study, is examined from the perspectives of embodied and social interaction, and human-machine mediated communication. The study utilizes the proxemics framework in real-world units, semi-structured phenomenological interviews, and two standardized metrics for identifying key cognitive experiences, emotions, and intersubjective relationships with co-present parties.

description: The neophytic flora of the river Elbe in the Magdeburg area was investigated from 2003 and 2006. 88 neophytes, 50 archeophytes and 172 native species (95 ruderal and skirt species) were found. The association of certain species is documented by plant sociological relevés. Most of the neophytes appear only at the place of introduction, but few species are growing at every suitable habitat downstream of the place of introduction. Often the bordering use of the landscape is reflected by the river side vegetation. The highest number of neophytes in the course of the river Elbe is found at urban river sides. The evaluation of the data collected so far from riparian habitats of the river Elbe, river Oker and its tributaries shows clearly: places rich in species have a high amount of neophytes, places poor in species have a low amount of neophytes.

description: A particularly simple model belonging to a wide class of coupled maps which obey a local conservation law is studied. The phase structure of the system and the types of the phase transitions are determined. It is argued that the structure of the phase diagram is robust with respect to mild violations of the conservation law. Critical exponents possibly determining a new universality class are calculated for a set of independent order parameters. Numerical evidence is produced suggesting that the singularity in the density of Lyapunov exponents at $λ=0$ is a reflection of the singularity in the density of Fourier modes (a ``Van Hove'' singularity) and disappears if the conservation law is broken. Applicability of the Lyapunov dimension to the description of spatiotemporal chaos in a system with a conservation law is discussed.

description: Our search for collective meaning-making across spaces and places as Tongan global scholars carries intergenerational rhythms. This article is a diasporic collaboration between members of the Tongan Global Scholars Network (TGSN), an online cultural collective drawn together through creatively critical rhythms and a desire to make space for ongoing criticalities through Tongan concepts, knowledge, and approaches. Employing the art of e-talanoa in our search for ways of crafting meaning, we unfold our narratives about TGSN’s humble beginnings using a range of modalities expressed as words, images, screenshots, and poetry. Our desire to connect early career scholars of Tongan heritage across the diaspora of Australia, the United States of America, Aotearoa New Zealand, and Tonga via the online space, led to enabling intergenerational relational rhythms between more seasoned and emerging scholars, sharing their understanding of Tongan knowledge and its relevance in the dominant Western academe. Intergenerational rhythms are central to TGSN’s survival. As a global network, TGSN continues to provide meaningful spaces for creatively critical meaning- making and intergenerational collaborative dialogue.

description: Most science teachers in public schools across the nation are young, White women entering classrooms that are increasingly racially and culturally diverse. While the science classroom is becoming increasingly diverse, science careers continue to be exclusive of students of color, women, and English language learners. Assessments, as pedagogical practices, are the most impactful gatekeepers in determining the successes or failures of all students in science. Therefore, teacher-designed formative assessments serve to construct or damage student science identity. It is important to better understand how teacher-designed assessments represent science teacher identity so that we can better understand how they influence student science identity. In the following research study, I examine the narratives shared by four early-career teachers around their development of science teacher identity and navigation around developing formative assessment practices in their classrooms. In this work, I use a reflective practice lens to examine how science teacher identities are co-constructed during completion of a preservice performance assessment and during one induction year and how those identities inform the ways that teachers set goals for assessment. Through the interpretation of data sources including interviews, observation notes, portfolio assessments, and inquiry groups, I present the experiences, identities, and values in setting goals for assessments that four early-career science teachers shared. Across these data sources, I draw attention to findings around a) the language and positioning that the participants shared as they grew into their roles as science teachers; b) the ways that participant identities informed their goals for assessments and student learning, and c) the ways that teacher-designed formative assessments represented the identities of four early-career middle and secondary school teachers. I conclude with implications for teacher education strategies for building responsive and reflective assessment practices, for teacher education support for science teacher identity construction, and future research around identity in teacher education portfolio assessments.

description: Using detailed and unique data from Sweden, I show that former insiders trade profitably in the shares of companies with which they used to be affiliated. A trading strategy mimicking former insiders’ trading behavior yields abnormal returns of 7.6% per year. These returns are primarily driven by post-separation purchases rather than by sales. They do not reflect general stock-picking skills: former insiders earn significantly lower abnormal returns when trading in companies with which they have no affiliation. I show that former insiders’ informational advantage diminishes over time, but less so if they have ties to current insiders. The importance of such ties increases in the presence of value-relevant information. My results are consistent with former insiders benefiting from both a retained informational advantage and from inside information obtained post-separation when trading in inside stock.

description: Given a locally finite graded set A and a commutative, associative operation on A that adds degrees, we construct a commutative multiplication * on the set of noncommutative polynomials in A which we call a quasi-shuffle product; it can be viewed as a generalization of the shuffle product. The resulting commutative algebra can be given the structure of a Hopf algebra (_A_,*,Delta). In the case where A is the set of positive integers and the operation on A is addition, (_A_,*,Delta) is the Hopf algebra of quasi-symmetric functions. If rational coefficients are allowed, there is a Hopf algebra isomorphism exp from the shuffle Hopf algebra on A onto (_A_,*,Delta). We discuss the dual of (_A_,*,Delta), and define a deformation *_q of * that coincides with * when q = 1 and is isomorphic to the concatenation product when q is not a root of unity. Finally, we discuss various examples of this construction.

description: The hemispheric asymmetry of sunspot activity observed possesses a regular component varying on a time scale of several solar cycles whose origin and properties are currently debated. This paper addresses the question of whether the long-term hemispheric asymmetry can result from random variations of solar dynamo parameters in time and latitude. Scatter in the observed tilt angles of sunspot groups is estimated to infer constraints on fluctuations in the dynamo mechanism for poloidal field regeneration. A dynamo model with fluctuations in the Babcock-Leighton type $α$-effect is designed in accordance with these constraints and then used to compute a large number of magnetic cycles for statistical analyses of their hemispheric asymmetry. Hemispheric asymmetry in the simulated dynamo results from the presence of an equator-symmetric part in the oscillating magnetic field. The subdominant quadrupolar oscillations are stochastically forced by dominant dipolar oscillations via the equator-symmetric part of the fluctuating $α$-effect. The amplitude and sense of the asymmetry of individual cycles varies on a time scale of the order of four dynamo-cycle periods. The variations are irregular, i.e. not periodic. The model suggests that asymmetry in the polar magnetic fields in the solar minima can be used as a precursor for asymmetry of sunspot activity in the following solar cycle.

description: The village of Halebid, in the southwestern Indian state of Karnataka, was once a city called Dorasamudra, capital of the Hoysala dynasty from the mid-11th to mid-14th centuries.  Although the site is home to more than twenty temples and temple ruins, as well as the fragmentary remains of a fort wall and palace compound, the place name "Halebid" today is nearly synonymous with a single monument: the lavishly sculptural Hoysalesvara temple.  This expansive, double-shrine temple would have been a dominant feature of the Hoysala capital from the time of its construction around 1120 C.E., but the near monopoly it has over the site in both popular and academic circles has caused other buildings to be overlooked.  This focus on the Hoysalesvara temple has also isolated the building from its surroundings, obscuring its relationship to other features of the historical city.
In this dissertation I develop a fuller understanding of the Hoysala capital and its temples by expanding the scope of inquiry to include the whole city.  Taking the archaeological material and published inscriptions of the entire site into account, I consider the ways in which a selection of Dorasamudra's temples relate to one another and to other features of their surrounding landscape.  This site-contextualized study provides insight into the relevance of the temples' spatial and sculptural forms, ritual purposes, and patrons' goals.  Comparison with monuments at other sites reveals that many temples of Dorasamudra contributed to the city's prestige through their distinctive visual properties or their association with important deities or authoritative institutions.  In addition to offering new perspectives on individual temples of the Hoysala capital, this study provides a greater understanding of the social and architectural characteristics of distinct neighborhoods, routes of access to specific temples and throughout the city, and a dynamic urban landscape that would have been visually and spatially altered with each new construction.

description: Magnetic skyrmions, the topological states possessing chiral magnetic structure with nontrivial topology, have been widely investigated as a promising candidate for spintronic devices. They can also couple with superconducting vortices to form skyrmion-vortex pairs, hosting Majorana zero mode, which is a potential candidate for topological quantum computing. Many theoretical proposals have been put forward on constructing skyrmion-vortex pairs in heterostructures of chiral magnets and superconductors. Nevertheless, how to generate skyrmion-vortex pairs in a controllable way experimentally remains a significant challenge. We have designed a heterostructure of a chiral magnet and superconductor [Ta/Ir/CoFeB/MgO]7/Nb in which zero field Néel-type skyrmions can be stabilized and the superconducting vortices can couple with the skyrmions when Nb is in the superconducting state. We have directly observed the formation of skyrmion-superconducting vortex pairs that is dependent on the direction of the applied magnetic field. Our results provide an effective method to manipulate the quantum states of skyrmions with the help of superconducting vortices, which can be used to explore new routines to control the skyrmions for spintronics devices.

description: Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI), which includes elements like green roofs, bioretentions, pervious pavement and cisterns, has proven to be a cost effective alternative that can achieve a wider range of benefits in stormwater management compared to the single-purpose grey/traditional infrastructure (Combined Sewer System or Municipal Separate Storm and Sewer System). However, the implementation of GSI as a replacement or support system for grey infrastructure faces some barriers preventing its adoption by planners/designers and decision makers, in the private as well as in the public sector. While understanding and quantifying the full costs and the benefits of GSI plans are critical for sound decision making and to facilitate its adoption, planners/designers face challenges pertaining to hydrologic calculations (including sizing of Green Stormwater Infrastructure Elements (GSIEs), cost estimation (life cycle costs) and benefit assessment).
This thesis presents a proof of concept tool (prototype) that is developed to help planners/designers and different stakeholders involved in conducting a comprehensive GSI planning process. The tool generates GSI alternative solutions (combination and size of GSIEs) that meet the user's financial and hydrologic objectives. These alternatives are generated to maximize benefits, reduce costs and account for design specifications and multi-functionality of GSI. The prototype has three modules:
· An Interface Module (including Input and Output Interfaces)
· A Process Module for hydrology, cost and benefit calculation and an optimization model for strategy generation.
· A Database Module for storing collected data that are used for different process module calculations.
The prototype, which is developed in Ms. Excel, was successfully tested for functionality and usability on a residential development site in Pittsburgh, PA. The prototype required minimal input from the user (site specific data) and generated strategies that double the net annual benefits compared to the plan proposed by the developer. The tool also allowed generation of strategy scenarios that responded to multiple user objectives.

description: The wave functions of a quantum isotropic harmonic oscillator in N-space modified by barriers at the coordinate hyperplanes can be expressed in terms of certain generalized spherical harmonics. These are associated with a product-type weight function on the sphere. Their analysis is carried out by means of differential-difference operators. The symmetries of this system involve the Weyl group of type B, generated by permutations and changes of sign of the coordinates. A new basis for symmetric functions as well as an explicit transition matrix to the monomial basis is constructed. This basis leads to a basis for invariant spherical harmonics. The determinant of the Gram matrix for the basis in the natural inner product over the sphere is evaluated, and there is a formula for the evaluation of the basis elements at (1,1,...,1). When the underlying parameter is specialized to zero, the basis consists of ordinary spherical harmonics with cube group symmetry, as used for wave functions of electrons in crystals. The harmonic oscillator can also be considered as a degenerate interaction-free spin Calogero model.

description: Anthriscus caucalis is a winter annual species which in Germany was noticed till today rarely. Its distribution in Central Europe is very nonuniform. It prefers obviously dry and/or sandy regions. In several states of Germany a reduction has to be mentioned on the one hand whereas it is able to colonize new habitats at transport installations during the last decades. The stands of Anthriscus caucalis in the northern forelands of the Harz mountains, in the eastern part of Lower Saxony as well as in the valley of the river Elbe have been investigated and arranged within the system of the plant communities. The comparison of the releve published by other authors shows that in Western and Central Europe three associations can be discerned. The releves from Germany, Austria and Slovakia all belong to Lactuco-Anthriscetum caucalidis Mucina et Zaliberova 1986, which this paper includes in Sisymbrion. At the East Frisian Islands the Claytonio-Anthriscetum caucalidis Izco, Geihu et Delelis 1977 is more likely.
