Non-Market Measurement Techniques of Willingness to Pay, the Case of Environmental Resources: A Review
Creators: name: Endalew, Birara

name: Ayalew, Zemen
Publisher: name: Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences
Year: 2019

description: The objective of this study is to review measurement techniques of willingness to pay (WTP), comparison of techniques and review of empirical evidences to support the theoretical concept of willingness to pay measurement methods. Particularly, the review mainly focuses on stated preference method. To address these objectives, intensive literature review was under taken. Finally, the result of the review was presented in narration, tabular and diagrammatic form. The review indicated that the concept of WTP has been applied in different field of study to assign monetary value using observed market behavior and hypothetical market scenarios for non-marketed goods and services. There are two commonly used methods for estimating WTP into revealed and stated preference methods. Depending on the type of goods or services in question, the time and research resources available, both methods can be useful though they have their own advantages and disadvantages. Revealed preference technique is used to estimate the use value only; on the other hand, stated preference technique is applicable to estimate both use and non-use value. This indicates that stated preference technique has broader scope than revealed preference.

Cuando la música popular se hace evangélica: cumbia, sanación y etnicidad en el Chaco
Creators: name: García, Miguel A.
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 2006

description: En los últimos años se ha producido un significativo cambio en el consumo musical de los aborígenes wichí que se encuentran asentados en la Provincia de Formosa, Argentina. Un grupo musical vinculado, en un principio, con la Iglesia Anglicana, irrumpió en la escena con una nueva propuesta que consigue articular claros postulados religiosos con la ejecución de géneros de la música popular. El grupo, denominado Cristo Vive, está integrado por cinco aborígenes wichí y uno toba y es el primero compuesto mayoritariamente por wichí que ha logrado desplazar a los grupos criollos y toba que desde hacía varios años ocupaban un lugar encumbrado dentro del escenario musical de la región. Su propuesta comprende la utilización de teclados con sonidos sintetizados, el uso de equipamiento de amplificación y la ejecución de un género musical que es llamado por los propios músicos "cumbia evangélica". La observación de sus actividades pone de manifiesto la emergencia de un proceso creciente de profesionalización caracterizado por la edición y venta de casetes, la realización de giras regionales y la generación de prácticas de fandom. A partir del estudio del caso se reflexiona acerca de la relación entre música, religión y etnicidad, las estrategias de apertura y cierre del límite étnico en torno a las prácticas de adopción, transformación y ejecución de géneros musicales considerados ajenos, y en torno al emergente proceso de regionalización cultural.

description: Quantification of the velocity and magnetic field reversals in dynamo remains an interesting challenge. In this paper, using group-theoretic analysis, we classify the reversing and non-reversing Fourier modes during a dynamo reversal in a Cartesian box. Based on odd-even parities of the wavenumber indices, we categorise the velocity and magnetic Fourier modes into 8 classes each. Then, using the properties of the nonlinear interactions in magnetohydrodynamics, we show that these 16 elements form Klein 16-group $Z_2 \times Z_2 \times Z_2 \times Z_2$. We demonstrate that field reversals in a class of Taylor-Green dynamo, as well as the reversals in earlier experiments and models, belong to one of the classes predicted by our group-theoretic arguments.

Tácticas de invisibilización y estrategias de resistencia de los mocoví santafesinos en el contexto postcolonial
Creators: name: Citro, Silvia
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 2006

description: En este trabajo, se estudian los procesos histórico-culturales de los mocoví santafesinos en sus vínculos con diversos agentes de la sociedad mayor durante el siglo XX. Me centro en las prácticas de invisibilización de la identidad étnica iniciadas por los mocoví a principios de siglo, analizando sus relaciones con las estrategias políticas de resistencia que las antecedieron y siguieron: el movimiento político-religioso milenarista de San Javier en 1904 y el proceso de "identificación" y organización política en términos étnicos, iniciado a mediados de la década de 1980. Mi hipótesis es que las prácticas de invisibilización de la propia identidad no fueron una mera consecuencia de las políticas de dominación colonial y postcolonial sobre agentes pasivos o vencidos, sino que constituyeron "tácticas" ensayadas por los mocoví, muchas veces concientemente, para redireccionar situaciones de dominación y hegemonía. Asimismo, planteo que las mencionadas estrategias políticas de resistencia, tampoco podrían entenderse solamente como respuestas ante coyunturas específicas impuestas por los grupos hegemónicos, sino que también son el producto de las experiencias histórico-culturales de los propios actores y, especialmente, de sus fragmentarias y encubiertas tácticas de resistencia, ejercidas en las prácticas cotidianas y también en los espacios rituales.

description: Papuloskvamoossed haigused on kroonilised põletikulised nahahaigused, millel on märkimisväärselt halb mõju patsientide heaolule. Seda haiguste rühma eristatakse nahakollete morfoloogilise leiu alusel. Iseloomulikeks tunnusteks on ketendavad paapulid ja naastud. Histopatoloogiliselt on papuloskvamoossetele haigustele iseloomulik põletik ja keratinotsüütide ebanormaalne jagunemine. Nimetatud haiguste rühma peamisteks esindajateks on psoriaas, lame lihhen ja punane karva-kliiketendustõbi. Sageli on nende haiguste eristamine algfaasis keeruline, kuid samas oluline, kuna haigused vajavad erisugust ravi. Seetõttu on tarvidus paremini mõista nimetatud haiguste patogeneesi, mis viiks täpsema biomarkeritest lähtuva diagnoosimiseni ja spetsiifilisema ravini. Sellest tulenevalt on artikli fookuseks üks mitmekülgsema avaldumisviisiga papuloskvamoosne haigus lame lihhen.

description: We report on progress towards performing precision measurements of parity violation in Yb, in which the theoretical prediction for a strong weak-interaction-induced effect in the 6s^{2} ^{1}S_{0} \rightarrow 5d6s ^{3}D_{1} optical transition at 408 nm has already been confirmed, with a measurement of the effect at the \approx 10 % level of accuracy. With a new atomic-beam apparatus offering enhanced sensitivity, we are aiming at precisely determining the parity violation observable in Yb, which will allow us to probe the distributions of neutrons in different isotopes, investigate physics beyond the Standard Model, as well as to study intra-nucleus weak interactions, through an observation of the anapole moment of Yb nuclei with nonzero spin. We present the experimental principle employed to probe atomic parity violation, describe our new apparatus, and discuss the attained experimental sensitivity as well as the methods for characterizing systematics in these measurements.

description: La cultura y la lengua vilelas han sido escasamente documentadas. Más aún, la mayor parte de la literatura especializada en el área chaqueña de los últimos cincuenta años dio por sentada su inminente desaparición. Nuestra investigación revela una realidad sociocultural más compleja, consecuencia de procesos históricos de desarticulación cultural y política, dispersión geográfica, retroceso demográfico y relaciones interétnicas conflictivas. De acuerdo con nuestra experiencia de campo, la situación actual del pueblo vilela puede ser mejor definida en términos de su invisibilidad social. En este artículo abordamos, en primer lugar, el análisis de los procesos históricos que ayudan a comprender el elusivo presente del pueblo vilela en la Argentina. De manera particular, examinamos algunos procesos históricos y coyunturas sociales que favorecieron la emergencia de estrategias de ocultamiento de la identidad y el consecuente distanciamiento respecto de la herencia cultural vilela. A continuación, presentamos un panorama general de la situación sociocultural y sociolingüística actual, a la luz de nuestro trabajo en terreno en localidades del Chaco, Santa Fe y Buenos Aires. Finalmente, examinamos las perspectivas que el caso sugiere con relación a la activación de procesos de reorga-nización político-étnica y de revitalización cultural y/o lingüística.

description: Taust ja eesmärk. Eesti Haigekassa juurde kuuluv ravikvaliteedi indikaatorite nõukoda on seadnud eesmärgi, et vähemalt 70% kubemesonga operatsioonidest peaks toimuma päevakirurgias. TÜ Kliinikumis on viimastel aastatel päevakirurgias tehtud ingvinaalherniotoomiate osakaal jäänud oluliselt seatud piirist allapoole, olles 2017.–2019. aastal 39–49%. Uuringu eesmärk oli selgitada, kas kliinikumis oleks olnud võimalik suurendada päevakirurgias tehtud kubemesonga operatsioonide osakaalu. Metoodika. Tegemist on retrospektiivse uuringuga. Kogutud andmete alusel hindas üks anestesioloog ja üks üldkirurg, kas patsiendi operatsioon oleks võinud toimuda päevakirurgias või oli statsionaar ikkagi sobiv valik. Tulemused. Aastatel 2017–2019 opereeriti kliinikumi statsionaaris kubemesonga tõttu plaaniliselt 339 täiskasvanud patsienti, mis moodustas 52,8% plaanilistest kubemesonga operatsioonidest. Anestesioloogi ja kirurgi arvamus päevakirurgilise vs. statsionaarse raviviisi valiku kohta langes kokku 86,1%-l juhtudest. Anestesioloogi ja kirurgi hinnang päevakirurgia valiku põhjendatuse kohta langes kokku 138 juhul, mis oleks suurendanud kliinikumis päevakirurgia osakaalu kubemesonga operatsioonide korral uuringuperioodil 68,7%-ni. Kui patsiendil esines krooniline südamepuudulikkus, krooniline obstruktiivne kopsuhaigus või krooniline neerupuudulikkus, siis määrasid nii anestesioloog kui ka kirurg suurema tõenäosusega patsiendi statsionaarsele ravile. Sama kehtis ka siis, kui patsiendi koduses raviskeemis olid kardiaalsed ravimid, antikoagulant või antiagregant. Järeldused. Uuringu tulemused viitavad võimalusele suurendada kliinikumis päevakirurgias tehtud ingvinaalherniotoomiate osakaalu. Vajalikud on lisauuringud päevakirurgia senise väikse osakaalu põhjuste selgitamiseks ja patsientide valiku – päevakirurgilise või statsionaarsele ravile – kriteeriumite väljatöötamiseks.

De Sanandita al Itiyuro: los chanés, los chiriguanos (¿y los tapietes?) al sur del Pilcomayo

Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 2007

description: En el río Itiyuro en el noroeste argentino existen hoy cuatro comunidades de indígenas chanés –los únicos que, hasta hoy, conservan este etnónimo a pesar de haber sido guaranizados. El origen de este núcleo es oscuro. Para resolver esta incógnita, se recalca primero la existencia de núcleos chanés en el territorio chiriguano colonial; se examina luego la conformación y la historia de las comunidades chiriguanas y chanés al sur del Pilcomayo. Se establece que los chanés del Itiyuro llegaron a fines del siglo XVIII desde Sanandita poco más al norte, después de expulsar a los chiriguanos con la ayuda de pueblos chaqueños. Se sugiere en conclusión que el enigma de los tapietes, pueblo chaqueño guaranizado, puede encontrar elementos de solución en la persistente asociación de "chaneses y mataguayos” en el Itiyuro.

"Unser kühles Territorium”: Das indioamerikanische Konzept der "Territorialhygiene” am Beispiel des Ressourcen­krisenmanagements der Nasa (Páez) des kolumbianischen Tierradentro
Creators: name: Drexler, Josef
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 2007

description: Según las cosmovisiones amerindias "tradicionales”, el territorio no brinda a sus habitantes tan solo los medios para la explotación de los recursos naturales que son necesarios para la existencia material; sino el territorio constituye también un espacio político-ritual y el campo permanente de prácticas médico-religiosas. La catástrofe de la avalancha de lodo del río Paez ocurrida el 6 de junio de 1994, el crecimiento demográfico y el consecuente incremento de densidad de población, la presión antrópica sobre el territorio y la degradación del medio ambiente progresivas, exigen de los Nasa de Tierradentro, el desarrollo de nuevas estrategias en el manejo de la crisis de los recursos naturales. Los Nasa tratan de controlar por medio de rituales de medicina tradicional la crisis ecológica, el desorden del cosmos y la acumulación de "suciedad” (pta’z) en el contexto sociocósmico, que debido a la violencia de la guerra civil colombiana "quema” a su territorio como "hielo de los muertos”. El cosmos social que está enfermo y "caliente” tiene que ser "limpiado” y refrescado periódicamente por medio de la medicina "fresca”. Estos modelos de interpretación y de prácticas ecomedicinales y político-religiosas, que incluyen rituales de refrescamiento del agua y/o de "sembrar agua”, hasta la expulsión chamanística de la violencia, buscan un "territorio fresco” (kwe’sx kiwe fxizenxi), en armonía y equilibrio en el que pueden existir. Por medio de esta filosofía material y práctica construyen los Nasa la alegría, la felicidad y la salud de su cosmos social. A través de la construcción, reconstrucción y reinvención de un capital espiritual y cultural "propio”, los nasa crean una "ética ecosófica” neotradicionalista: ellos están "sembrando poder”.

Assessment of Maximum Sustainable Yield and Optimum Fishing Effort for the Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) in Lake Chamo, Ethiopia

description: The study was conducted to estimate the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and optimum level of fishing effort for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) stock in Lake Chamo, Ethiopia. Data were collected from eight major landing sites of Lake Chamo for three days in a week for ten months (February to November, 2018). The total length, sample weight and total weight of O. niloticus caught by the fishermen and the fishing effort were the basic information collected from these sites. Totally, 7,570 O. niloticus samples were collected in 120 days. The FiSAT software was used to determine von Bertalanffy growth and mortality parameters. Jones length based cohort analysis model and length-based Thompson and Bell yield prediction models were employed to estimate the maximum sustainable yield. The estimated growth parameters; asymptotic length that the fish attains at an older age(L∞) and growth constant(k)of O. niloticus were 55 cm and 0.37 yr-1, respectively. Overall about 11 million O. niloticus populations were estimated to exist in the lake. The estimated current annual yield was 290.1 tons per year for O. niloticus fisheries of the lake. However, the predicted value of MSY was 313 tons per year obtained at fMSY of 136,249 nets. The length at first maturity (L50) was 39.6 and out of the total annual catch 93.1% were below their respective size of maturity. Thus, the current yield reduction might be due to growth overfishing with reduced mesh sizes. As reported in the earlier studies and according to the finding of this investigation, the catch and yield of Lake Chamo is in the state of reduction through year. Unless the lake is properly managed, the future yields of Lake Chamo will be declining that may lead the resources depletion. Co-management practices, using the recommended mesh size and level of effort (number of nets) should be considered for the sustainability of the resources.

description: In this study, a multiple-comparison approach is developed for detecting faint hyperspectral sources. The detection method relies on a sparse and non-negative representation on a highly coherent dictionary to track a spatially varying source. A robust control of the detection errors is ensured by learning the test statistic distributions on the data. The resulting control is based on the false discovery rate, to take into account the large number of pixels to be tested. This method is applied to data recently recorded by the three-dimensional spectrograph Multi-Unit Spectrograph Explorer.
La tierra como ser viviente en el arte teotihuacano
Creators: name: Paulinyi, Zoltán
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 2007

description: Se analiza una imagen que se repite en una serie de murales teotihuacanos, la cual hasta hace poco se había considerado como una más de las representaciones de una multifacética "Gran Diosa”, cuya existencia sin embargo ha sido cuestionada recientemente. La imagen abstracta –con características de ser monstruoso– evidencia atributos acuáticos y telúricos. No sólo nos encontramos con ella en Teotihuacan, sino también en el arte epiclásico de Xochicalco y Cacaxtla. Se propone que las representaciones de bocas sobrenaturales del arte teotihuacano ofrecen la clave para interpretar al ser como una manifestación visual de la tierra viviente. Se argumenta en favor de que más bien se trata de una representación simbólica, y no de una deidad de la tierra. Se llama la atención acerca de una posible analogía estructural e iconográfica existente entre la imagen de la tierra viviente y la Ciudadela, uno de los complejos arquitectónicos más importantes de Teotihuacan.

¿Vienen los espíritus cuando se les llama sin bastón? o Cómo mantuvo su identidad de chamán un jaibaná emberá del Chocó (Colombia) cuando efectuó un ritual fuera de regla
Creators: name: Rossbach De Olmos, Lioba
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 2007

description: Dentro de la antropología existen muchas teorías que giran alrededor del origen, del contexto, del significado, de la función y de las características de lo que es un ritual. En un sentido más estricto son el carácter de la acción, una codificación del procedimiento y su efecto de cambio que distinguen un ritual religioso de otros rituales y de otras actividades de la vida cultural. El presente artículo toma estas caracte­rísticas para discutir un ritual organizado artificialmente y realizado fuera de regla por un chaman indígena emberá en una comunidad de la población negra del Chocó (Colombia). Analizando el ritual desde dife­rentes perspectivas se llega a la conclusión que tanto el control sobre el procedimiento establecido como su ruptura forman parte del ritual, el mismo que se basa en la identidad y personalidad del chamán que lo efectúa.

Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the impact of Food Security Package Loan (FSPL) of micro credit service on the income and livelihood of food insecure households residing in West Belesa District. The study applied an econometric model of propensity score matching (PSM) to analyze the impact of FSPL on the income and livelihood of households based on data collected from a sample of 254 rural households (157 were food insecure and 97 food secure). The results of the econometric analysis display that FSPL participation significantly affects positively household’s on-farm and off-farm income, employment, animal hold, saving and children participation in formal school. However, the food consumption level and types of house owned show no difference. This suggests that the stakeholders (government authorities, NGOs, aid agencies, etc) that deemed micro finance as a means to poverty reduction should take into account the implications of these indicator variables for better promotion of micro finance specifically FSPL and devise an intervention mechanism to further expand its impact towards improving food consumption and household asset building.

Africans in Spanish-America: Slavery, Freedom and Identities in the Colonial Era
Creators: name: Hensel, Silke
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 2007

description: Africans contributed to the development of Spanish American societies in multiple ways. The specific workings of the slave trade and slav­ery determined great part of their living conditions but slaves used every pos­sible way to gain some autonomy over their lives. Thus, the article explores slavery as a social relation of constant negotiation over Africans’ lives. Spe­cial emphasis is given on the discussion of slaves’ identities and the question of surviving African culture in America.

In the Shadow of the Empire – The Emergence of Afro-Creole Societies in Belize and Nicaragua
Creators: name: Gabbert, Wolfgang
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 2007

description: This article has two primary aims. The first part discusses the history of English-speaking Afro-Americans (Creoles) in two regions of the Central American mainland, focusing on their role in regional society and their relationship to Hispanic Central Americans. Creoles have always been a numerical minority in the Caribbean coastal region of Nicaragua (the Mosquitia) but since the nineteenth century they have become the national people in Belize. Earlier studies of the Creoles in both countries treated them as ethnic communities emphasizing them as mostly urban, Protestant and edu­cated middle-class groups. In a short second section, the article stresses, in contrast, the cultural and social heterogeneity among the Afro-American population, and the protracted and contradictory process of their ethnogenesis, focusing on the Creoles in Caribbean Nicaragua.

description: We consider the propagation of photons in a gas of Rydberg atoms under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency, where they form strongly interacting massive particles, termed Rydberg polaritons. Depending on the strength of the van der Waals-type interactions of the atoms either bunching or anti-bunching of photons can be observed when driving the atoms off-resonantly. The bunching is associated with the formation of bound states. We employ a Green's function approach and numerical wave-function simulations to analyze the conditions for the creation and the dynamics of these photonic molecules and their interplay with the scattering continuum which can also show photon bunching. Analytic solutions of the pair-propagation problem obtained from a pseudopotential approximation and verified numerically provide a detailed understanding of bound and scattering states. We find that the scattering contributions acquire asymptotically a robust relative phase which can be employed to separate bound-state and scattering contributions by a homodyne detection scheme.

description: The next-generation mm/sub-mm/far-IR astronomy will in part be enabled by advanced digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. The Prime-Cam instrument of the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST), featuring the largest array of submillimeter detectors to date, utilizes a novel overlap-channel polyphase synthesis filter bank (OC-PSB) for the AC biasing of detectors, implemented on a cutting-edge Xilinx Radio Frequency System on Chip (RFSoC). This design departs from traditional waveform look-up-table(LUT) in memory, allowing real-time, dynamic signal generation, enhancing usable bandwidth and dynamic range, and enabling microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) tracking for future readout systems. Results show that the OC-PSB upholds critical performance metrics such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) while offering additional benefits such as scalability. This paper will discuss DSP design, RFSoC implementation, and laboratory performance, demonstrating OC-PSB's potential in submillimeter-wave astronomy MKID readout systems.

Los garínagu en Centroamérica y otros lugares. Identidades de una población afro-caribe entre la tradición y la modernidad
Creators: name: Mohr De Collado, Maren
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 2007

description: En este artículo, se presenta brevemente la etnogénesis de los garínagu en las Antillas Menores así como su historia migratoria en la costa de Centroamérica. Desde los años sesenta del siglo XX muchos garínagu han emigrado a las grandes ciudades de los Estados Unidos, principalmente a Nueva York y a Miami. Por ello se trata de hacer un primer análisis de las múltiples y dinámicas relaciones que la comunidad de migrantes mantiene a través de las generaciones con la sociedad de origen, en el ejemplo de una comunidad garífuna en Guatemala. Las celebraciones y fiestas tradicionales así como los ritos y creencias religiosas no sólo son el centro de sus prácticas transnacionales sino también el motor para un proceso de revitalización.

description: The increasing volume of ecologically and biologically relevant data has revealed a wide collection of emergent patterns in living systems. Analyzing different datasets, ranging from metabolic gene-regulatory to species interaction networks, we find that these networks are sparse, i.e. the percentage of the active interactions scales inversely proportional to the system size. This puzzling characteristic has been neither yet considered nor explained. Herein, we introduce the new concept of explorability, a measure of the ability of the system to adapt to newly intervening changes. We show that sparsity is an emergent property resulting from a variational principle aiming at the optimization of both explorability and dynamical robustness, the capacity of the system to remain stable after perturbations of the underlying dynamics. Networks with higher connectivities lead to an incremental difficulty to find better values for both the explorability and dynamical robustness, associated with the fine-tuning of the newly added interactions. A relevant characteristic of our solution is its scale invariance, that is, it remains optimal when several communities are assembled togheter. Connectivity is also a key ingredient determining ecosystem stability and our proposed solution contributes to solving May's celebrated complexity-stability paradox.

Black Ritual Insulting in the Americas: On the Art of "VociferaR” (Colombia), "Vacilar” (Ecuador) and "Snapping”, "Sounding” or "Playing the Dozens” (U.S.A.)
Creators: name: Schwegler, Armin

description: Dollard (1939), Abrahams (1962) and Labov (1974) were among the first to study an important ritualized speech event called "signifying” (also known as "the dozens”, "sounding”, "joaning”, "snapping”, etc.). Traditionally limited Black North American sub-culture, "signifying” typically consists of an exchange of ritualized insults directed at an opponent’s mother or relative. The practice can also include personal insults of a simpler form. Representative examples are: "If ugliness were bricks, your mother would be a housing project.” "Your mother is so ugly, she had to find a beautician that makes house calls.” African slaves also appear to have brought this practice to other parts of the Americas (Cuba, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, etc.). But to date, scholars of Latin America have paid virtually no attention to the phenomenon, and the few who did report on it failed to connect it to the North American tradition of "signifying”. This study first reviews the basic tenets of "signifying” as practiced in the United States. Thereafter, a series of texts recorded by the author in Afro-Colombian and Afro-Ecuadorian communities will be examined in order to illustrate that "signifying” is indeed a Black pan-American (rather than simply North-American) phenomenon.

Characterizing, Modelling and Augmenting Datasets for Simulation of Multi-Modal Internet-of-Things Applications
Creators: name: Bannis, Adeola
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Computer Engineering

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) applications rely on sensors to monitor their environment and actuators to react to environmental changes or user instructions. As IoT devices become more common, the multiple available sensor and actuator modalities can augment information about the surroundings or provide new services. In my thesis, I demonstrate how the benefits of multi-modal interactions between devices come at the cost of increased complexity when designing and testing new IoT system applications. I address two main types of multi-modal interaction in IoT systems. The first type is sensor fusion, where multiple modalities are used to observe the same phenomenon in different ways. The second type is automated control, where actuators in the system are used to respond to detected events and themselves create detectable events. Without expert domain knowledge of the physical processes behind sensed events, energy transfer between modalities, and the physical response of the chosen hardware, multi-modal IoT event detection applications are commonly developed with extensive empirical evaluation. Real-world testing cannot exhaustively check every configuration of devices and actuators for possible interactions; however, without expert domain knowledge, it is difficult to verify the accuracy of any model or simulation built from a limited sample of real-world data. Using data from multiple sources, including public research datasets and real-world system implementations, I address the challenge of modelling event detection application performance in multi-modal IoT systems. First, I characterize the performance of camera + IMU sensor fusion algorithms and distinguish errors due to physical/sensor limitations from algorithm inaccuracy. Second, I characterize the sound produced from small UAV motors in order to use this multi-modal "side effect" as a communication channel. Through a combination of simulation and empirical validation, I was able to integrate the new capability into a UAV swarm without hindering flight. Third, I characterize the common features of digital sensor signals for event detection applications that allow for simulation without expert domain knowledge. Based on the common features of event detection signals, I develop a machine learning framework for augmenting sensor signal datasets for simulation with limited domain knowledge.
title: Online learning on the programmable dataplane

description: This thesis makes the case for managing computer networks with datadriven methods automated statistical inference and control based on measurement data and runtime observations—and argues for their tight integration with programmable dataplane hardware to make management decisions faster and from more precise data. Optimisation, defence, and measurement of networked infrastructure are each challenging tasks in their own right, which are currently dominated by the use of hand-crafted heuristic methods. These become harder to reason about and deploy as networks scale in rates and number of forwarding elements, but their design requires expert knowledge and care around unexpected protocol interactions. This makes tailored, per-deployment or -workload solutions infeasible to develop. Recent advances in machine learning offer capable function approximation and closed-loop control which suit many of these tasks. New, programmable dataplane hardware enables more agility in the network— runtime reprogrammability, precise traffic measurement, and low latency on-path processing. The synthesis of these two developments allows complex decisions to be made on previously unusable state, and made quicker by offloading inference to the network. To justify this argument, I advance the state of the art in data-driven defence of networks, novel dataplane-friendly online reinforcement learning algorithms, and in-network data reduction to allow classification of switchscale data. Each requires co-design aware of the network, and of the failure modes of systems and carried traffic. To make online learning possible in the dataplane, I use fixed-point arithmetic and modify classical (non-neural) approaches to take advantage of the SmartNIC compute model and make use of rich device local state. I show that data-driven solutions still require great care to correctly design, but with the right domain expertise they can improve on pathological cases in DDoS defence, such as protecting legitimate UDP traffic. In-network aggregation to histograms is shown to enable accurate classification from fine temporal effects, and allows hosts to scale such classification to far larger flow counts and traffic volume. Moving reinforcement learning to the dataplane is shown to offer substantial benefits to stateaction latency and online learning throughput versus host machines; allowing policies to react faster to fine-grained network events. The dataplane environment is key in making reactive online learning feasible—to port further algorithms and learnt functions, I collate and analyse the strengths of current and future hardware designs, as well as individual algorithms.
