description: Nsong is a western Bantu language spoken in the neighbourhood of Kikwit (5°2'28"S 18°48'58"E, Kwilu District, Bandundu Province, DRC) and encoded as B85d in the New Updated Guthrie List (Maho 2009). To this B80 or Tiene-Yanzi group also belongs Mbuun, encoded as B87 by Guthrie (1971: 39) and spoken in the wider vicinity of Idiofa (4°57'35"S 19°35'40", Kwilu District, Bandundu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo). Both languages are closely related. They share a high percentage of fundamental and other vocabulary as well as several rather atypical phonological innovations (Bostoen & Koni Muluwa 2014; Koni Muluwa 2014; Koni Muluwa & Bostoen 2012). Preliminary elicitation-based research on Mbuun has pointed out that the pre-verbal domain plays a crucial role in the marking of argument focus in Mbuun (Bostoen & Mundeke 2011, 2012). In this paper, we assess whether this is also the case in Nsong on the basis of a text corpus which the first author has been collecting, transcribing and annotating in 2013 and 2014 as part of an endangered language documentation project funded by the DoBeS program of the Volkswagen Foundation through a 3-year grant (2012-2015). More information on the project can be found on http://www.kwilubantu.ugent.be/. This Nsong text corpus exclusively consists of oral discourse and currently counts 48.022 tokens and 11.973 types. The team’s 2013 fieldwork aimed at documenting Nsong speech events in as many different cultural settings as possible. As a result, the corpus comprises different text genres, such as political speeches, historical traditions, folk music, tales, proverbs, hunting language, ceremonial language used during circumcision and twin rites, and popular biological knowledge. In line with previous research on Mbuun, we concentrate here on mono-clausal argument focus constructions, even if preliminary research has pointed out that bi-clausal focus structures are more common in the Nsong corpus.

description: The key to IoT applications' success is the opportunity to exploit data generated by one node for various applications. Solutions for this are either centralized server systems, which aggregate the data and answer corresponding requests from different clients, or the concepts of edge computing, in which individual nodes take over the provision and processing of data directly. Although the advantages of immediate processing are obvious, edge computing concepts have so far been limited to more powerful nodes. Embedded in the DoRIoT project, we transfer the idea to low performance devices. This includes challenging questions related to security, scheduling and coordination issues. Additionally, we have to support the programming process itself. In order to achieve sufficient acceptance in the programming community we have to ensure that “freely programmable” is not bounded by hardware oriented programming paradigms and languages. Furthermore, the developer should be able to implement IoT-requests based on standard building blocks in a programming language of his choice. In this paper we introduce the architecture and a tool-chain to cope with these challenges based on a WebAssembly-interpreter (WAMR) embedded in the DoRIoT software stack. The prototypical integration provides the applicability of WASM compiler tool-chain, originally focused on web-applications, and supports the orchestration of multiple requests in parallel.

description: In the last decades, environmental research has started to adopt a data-driven perspective enabled by huge sensor networks, satellite-based Earth observation, and almost ubiquitous Internet access. Some of these data-driven approaches are expected to make visions of a sustainable future come true. For example, by enabling societies to live in sustainable smart cities, or to feed the world with precision agriculture. Or by fighting environmental pollution or global deforestation with increased observational power. However, there is a serious gap between some of the current expectations put into data-driven techniques and the maturity of the field of spatial machine learning and artificial intelligence or computer science in general. We give a few examples of open research issues that computer science has to solve in order to make data-driven approaches to environmental sciences successful.

subject: Technology Review

description: Energy awareness is an important aspect of the design of sensor node hard-and software, particularly for battery-powered or energy-harvesting node architectures. Architectural design choices of such systems must regard a multitude of aspects, including size, weight, memory and processing power. Therefore, energy-related design aspects have in recent years become a feature that is being honoured throughout sensor node design. As a result, various technological solutions and strategies have evolved to facilitate energy awareness and energy management aspects. This paper looks back at the evolution of sensor node technology during the 2010s. In the course of research activities, the state of the art of research and industrial solutions aiming at improving the support of energy awareness was being monitored. Advances were observed for various aspects and levels of relevant technological facets, including electronic measurement and control circuitry, harvesting facilities, power-saving mechanisms at both hard-and software level, energy management strategies and algorithms, networking aspects, and advances and extensions related to operating systems for sensor nodes. A conclusion of these observations, given in this paper, identifies technological increments, leaps and sidesteps that have occurred along the way. For the overall time span of the decade observed, a short qualitative and quantitative analysis of the technological advances achieved is presented, including typical examples of actual sensor node designs. The paper concludes with an outlook on further evolution of advances in energy awareness technology for sensor nodes to be expected in the near future and to be desired in the long run.

description: We present a general relativistic description of galaxy clustering in a FLRW universe. The observed redshift and position of galaxies are affected by the matter fluctuations and the gravity waves between the source galaxies and the observer, and the volume element constructed by using the observables differs from the physical volume occupied by the observed galaxies. Therefore, the observed galaxy fluctuation field contains additional contributions arising from the distortion in observable quantities and these include tensor contributions as well as numerous scalar contributions. We generalize the linear bias approximation to relate the observed galaxy fluctuation field to the underlying matter distribution in a gauge-invariant way. Our full formalism is essential for the consistency of theoretical predictions. As our first application, we compute the angular auto correlation of large-scale structure and its cross correlation with CMB temperature anisotropies. We comment on the possibility of detecting primordial gravity waves using galaxy clustering and discuss further applications of our formalism.

description: Amadori and Heyns rearrangement reactions are a century old reactions of the carbohydrates. The great body of literature on these reactions are concentrated on ɑ-amino acids. Reports on the synthesis and chemistry of Amadori and Heyns compounds derived from β-amino acids are scarce. We demonstrate herein, via Lewis-acid catalysis, synthesis of Amadori and Heyns compounds derived from β-amino acids consisting of β-alanine and β-phenylalanine with, D-xylose, D-galactose, D-fructose, D-mannose, D-maltose, D-lactose. The accomplished Lewis-acid catalyzed method is practical and devoid of separation techniques for achieving purity. We also report insight on the mechanism of Lewis-acid catalyzed Amadori and Heyns rearrangement reactions, and reveal the key role of Bronsted acid in Lewis-acid catalyzed Amadori and Heyns synthesis of β-amino acids.
Pre-verbal focus in Kisikongo (H16a, Bantu)
Creators: name: De Kind, Jasper
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2014

description: The present paper aims at describing different pre-verbal focus strategies in Kisikongo (H16a), spoken in the vicinity of Mbanza Kongo, northern Angola. This western Bantu language is part of the Kikongo Language Cluster (KLC), stretching from southern Gabon to northern Angola, including Cabinda and parts of Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa. Kikongo exhibits a clause-internal pre-verbal argument focus position, which has rarely been reported in Bantu languages, except in Mbuun (B87) (Bostoen and Mundeke 2012) and Nsong (B85d) (Koni Muluwa and Bostoen, this volume), both spoken in the neighboring Kwilu region of the DRC. The more extensively studied eastern and southern Bantu languages generally have a post-verbal argument focus position (cf. Watters 1979, Morimoto 2000, Creissels 2004, Güldemann 2007, Buell 2009, van der Wal 2009, among others). In addition to this mono-clausal argument focus strategy, Kisikongo also relies on different bi-clausal constructions to focus arguments, i.e. cleft-constructions.

TAM-full object-verb order in the Mbam languages of Cameroon
Creators: name: Mous, Maarten
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2014

description: Nen and Nyokon are unique among the Bantu languages in allowing full nominal objects between the tense/aspect marker and the verb. Despite the fact that the two languages are neighbours and related they make different use of this positional option. In Nen the position is the default one for objects and the post-verbal position renders an object discrete and suitable for quantified objects and for contrast. In Nyokon the position before the verb is functionally equivalent to the one after the verb. The difference is related to the fact that Nyokon allows the preverbal object only in certain tenses whereas in Nen it is not restricted. But contrasted objects in Nyokon too appear after the verb. There is a construction in which both positions are filled with a constituent. This construction is modelled on a secondary predication construction.

Of particular interest are the use of disjoint verb forms in LI, and the co-existence of formal and semantic LI, which challenges the widespread belief that the two constructions cannot be found in the same language.

description: Gossiping is a well-researched protocol that enables decentralized information sharing. Being comparable to viruses spreading in a biological population, such concepts of data sharing are also called epidemic protocol. Without wanting to be impious with respect to recent pandemics, we propose its usage to facilitate a peer-to-peer (P2P) market for sharing energy between flexible loads or generation units, respectively. Gossip algorithms have been proposed several times in the context of power sharing in transmission grids. Our main contribution is the integration of such scenario with OPC UA. Comprising security by design, good interoperability attributes, several, well-maintained stack implementations and a widespread usage in automation, it reveals to be an outstanding framework for the proposed use case that will be explained in the first sections. After describing underlying physical models and the setup scenario, we will compare the results of the scenario that was conducted on non-OPC UA modules and an OPC UA implementation. Mostly, the performance is questioned at the comparison, still some beneficial concepts of OPC UA can be highlighted in the conclusion: Security controls can be added to the system at the Application Layer where Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) can be performed, which allows a fine granularity of privileges expressed for subjects (agents in the gossiping algorithms) and objects (energy related assets) via semi-formal security policies. Additionally, UA Discovery service allows for plug and play availability. Concluding, a framework for a very efficient large-area algorithm is presented here to be researched in further work.

description: This study seeks to make a contribution toward gaining a greater understanding of investment dynamics. The study has two main objectives: (1) to carry out a theoretical analysis of the dynamic behaviour of investment; and (2) to combine two strands of investment theory, dealing with financial constraints and financial development, and to apply the combined model to industry-level data. The study recognises that the neoclassical model represents a major advance from previous theories of investment, as it provides an explanation of how the desired capital stock is determined within a rigorous net-worth maximisation framework. By incorporating a convex adjustment cost function into that framework, the Q model has even greater theoretical appeal, in that it permits an explicit analysis of investment dynamics. However, the Q model generally does not perform well in empirical studies, due partly to a number of problems related to variable Q itself. To achieve the first objective, the dynamic properties of investment are analysed within the framework of a neoclassical model that, like the Q model, incorporates a convex adjustment cost function. However, rather than proceeding through first-order conditions involving the capital stock and its shadow price variable as in the Q model and many of its variants, this study employs the Euler equation approach to focus directly on the relationship between capital stock and investment, which is found to be characterised by saddle point equilibrium. This means that, following a shock (such as an unexpected cut in interest rates) the system must jump immediately to an appropriate point on the new saddle path associated with the new equilibrium. The study shows that under reasonable assumptions concerning the adjustment cost and production functions, these initial jumps typically involve investment overshooting its steady-state value in the short term. Investment overshooting also implies overshooting by stock prices in financial markets.
Syntactic and prosodic aspects of left and right dislocation in Embɔsi (Bantu C25)

description: This paper deals with left and right dislocation in Embɔsi, a Bantu language (C25) spoken in Congo-Brazzaville. The prosody of dislocation has gathered considerable attention, as it is particularly informative for the theories of the syntax-prosody mapping of Intonation Phrases (a.o. Selkirk, 2009, 2011; Downing, 2011). Concentrating on selected Bantu languages, Downing (2011) identifies two main phrasing patterns. She primarily distinguishes languages in which only right dislocated phrases display a lack of prosodic integration ("asymmetric" languages), from languages in which both left and right dislocations phrase separately ("symmetric" languages). Hiatus avoidance processes, boundary tones and register expansion/reduction indicate that Embɔsi displays a somewhat more intricate phrasing pattern. In this language, both left and right dislocated items sit outside of the Intonation Phrase formed by the core-clause, but only the latter form their own Intonation Phrase. We also discuss the prosody of multiple dislocations (i.e. with two dislocated arguments), which have not so far received all the attention they deserve. What we observe in Embɔsi is that either the two dislocated items phrase together and are not integrated to the core Intonation Phrase, or only the outermost dislocated element phrases separately.

Crossing random walks and stretched polymers at weak disorder

description: We consider a model of a polymer in $\mathbb{Z}^{d+1}$, constrained to join 0 and a hyperplane at distance $N$. The polymer is subject to a quenched nonnegative random environment. Alternatively, the model describes crossing random walks in a random potential (see Zerner [Ann Appl. Probab. 8 (1998) 246--280] or Chapter 5 of Sznitman [Brownian Motion, Obstacles and Random Media (1998) Springer] for the original Brownian motion formulation). It was recently shown [Ann. Probab. 36 (2008) 1528--1583; Probab. Theory Related Fields 143 (2009) 615--642] that, in such a setting, the quenched and annealed free energies coincide in the limit $N\to\infty$, when $d\geq3$ and the temperature is sufficiently high. We first strengthen this result by proving that, under somewhat weaker assumptions on the distribution of disorder which, in particular, enable a small probability of traps, the ratio of quenched and annealed partition functions actually converges. We then conclude that, in this case, the polymer obeys a diffusive scaling, with the same diffusivity constant as the annealed model.

description: It has long been observed that subjects cross-linguistically have topic properties: they are typically definite, referential and/or generic (Givón 1976). Bantu languages are said to illustrate this generalization: preverbal position for NPs is equated with both subject and topic status and postverbal position with focus (and non-subject). However, there is a growing body of work showing that preverbal subjects are not necessarily syntactically or semantically equivalent to topics. For example, Zerbian’s (2006) careful study of preverbal position in Northern Sotho shows that preverbal subjects meet few of the semantic tests for aboutness topics. The study of restrictions on preverbal subjects in Durban Zulu presented in this paper builds on Zerbian (2006) and Halpert (2012). In particular, we investigate the interpretational properties of preverbal indefinite subjects. These subjects show us that preverbal subjects carry a presupposition of existence. We explore an analysis connecting the "strong reading" of preverbal subjects with how high the verb moves in Zulu (following Tsai’s 2001 work on Mandarin).

description: Hybrid structures containing organic-inorganic porous materials are of great interest as green, heterogeneous, and recyclable catalysts. In this study, a novel organic-inorganic hybrid material (Zeolite HY@DETA) via the surface-functionalization of the Zeolite HY was prepared. The structure of hybrid material was characterized using the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis. Subsequently, the catalytic activity of this novel hybrid material was considered in the one-pot three-component synthesis of 3-amino-1-aryl-5,10-dioxo-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-2-carbonitrile and some bis phthalazine-dione derivatives under green and environmentally benign conditions. The products were synthesized in excellent yields within a short reaction time and identified using elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopies. This protocol avoids the use of harmful catalysts, toxic solvents, and harsh reaction conditions. Besides, the catalyst could be recycled for five reaction runs with a slight loss of catalytic activity.

description: Bantu languages have been at the heart of the research on the interaction between syntax, prosody and information structure. In these predominantly SVO languages, considerable attention has been devoted to postverbal phenomena. By addressing issues related to Subjects, Topics and Object-Verb word orders, the goal of the present papers is to deepen our understanding of the interaction of different grammatical components (syntax, phonology, semantics/pragmatics) both in individual languages and across the Bantu family. Each paper makes a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions on the preverbal domain.

description: We extend the one pion exchange model at quark level to include the short distance contributions coming from $η$, $σ$, $ρ$ and $ω$ exchange. This formalism is applied to discuss the possible molecular states of $D\bar{D}^{*}/\bar{D}D^{*}$, $B\bar{B}^{*}/\bar{B}B^{*}$, $DD^{*}$, $BB^{*}$, the pseudoscalar-vector systems with $C=B=1$ and $C=-B=1$ respectively. The "$δ$ function" term contribution and the S-D mixing effects have been taken into account. We find the conclusions reached after including the heavier mesons exchange are qualitatively the same as those in the one pion exchange model. The previous suggestion that $1^{++}$ $B\bar{B}^{*}/\bar{B}B^{*}$ molecule should exist, is confirmed in the one boson exchange model, whereas $DD^{*}$ bound state should not exist. The $D\bar{D}^{*}/\bar{D}D^{*}$ system can accomodate a $1^{++}$ molecule close to the threshold, the mixing between the molecule and the conventional charmonium has to be considered to identify this state with X(3872). For the $BB^{*}$ system, the pseudoscalar-vector systems with $C=B=1$ and $C=-B=1$, near threshold molecular states may exist. These bound states should be rather narrow, isospin is violated and the I=0 component is dominant. Experimental search channels for these states are suggested.

The questionnaire is intended as a guide, only, as every language will have its own set of possibilities and complications. At the end of the questionnaire is a checklist. While we had Bantu languages in mind in devising the questionnaire, we hope it will also be useful to linguists with an interest question constructions in other languages.

description: The relevance of the pseudospin symmetry in nuclei is considered. New insight is obtained from looking at the continuous transition from a model satisfying the spin symmetry to another one satisfying the pseudospin symmetry. This study suggests that there are models allowing no missing single-particle states in this transition, contrary to what is usually advocated. It rather points out to an association of pseudospin partners different from the one usually assumed, together with a strong violation of the corresponding symmetry. A comparison with results obtained from some relativistic approaches is made.

description: Additional file 2 : Figure S2. In vivo tracking of DiI-labeled sEV. (A) After rats were treated with PBS, DiI, or DiI-labeled sEV, fluorescence images were taken on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14. (B) In DiI-labeled sEV-injected rats, the fluorescence signal intensity decreased slowly from day 1 to day 7. On day 7, 39.44% of the fluorescence was eliminated. A total of 96.14% of the fluorescence signal disappeared on day 10, and no signal was detected on day 14. The fluorescence signal intensity in the DiI group was barely attenuated from day 1 to day 14. No fluorescence signal was detected in the PBS group.
New Product Development for Papua New Guinea Balsa to Improve Smallholder Livelihoods
Creators: name: Kotlarewski, Nathan
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Industrial and product design

description: The Papua New Guinea [PNG] balsa wood industry currently has an over-supply of balsa due to an under-demand in global commercial markets. The effect this has on smallholders is a reduction in financial returns and a loss of invested time and money. Since global industries are not using balsa, large processing companies are therefore not buying from smallholder plantations. Smallholders rely on large processors to purchase their balsa for financial return to support their livelihoods, family and community. Unlike common commercial timber plantations, where harvesting occurs when the market is strong, balsa must be harvested between five to seven years due to its fast growth and rapid deterioration after seven years. New commercial applications have been developed during the process of this doctoral research project to develop and promote the positive attributes of PNG balsa in order to generate international demand. These applications have the potential to mitigate the expected hardship to smallholder’s livelihoods. A research-led industrial design practice process was used to generate design solutions in order to demonstrate innovative ways of utilising balsa in new and existing industries to rectify the current over-supply and under-demand. An artefact was developed through the process of this doctoral research which acts as an exemplar product that embeds and communicates new knowledge to the field of industrial design. The artefact also promotes a commercially viable product that could be used to diversify PNG balsa markets and increase consumer demand for the resource.

description: Type Ia supernovae result when carbon-oxygen white dwarfs in binary systems accrete mass from companion stars, reach a critical mass, and explode. The near uniformity of their light curves makes these supernovae good standard candles for measuring cosmic expansion, but a correction must be applied to account for the fact that the brighter supernovae have broader light curves. One-dimensional modelling, with a certain choice of parameters, can reproduce this general trend in the width-luminosity relation, but the processes of ignition and detonation have recently been shown to be intrinsically asymmetric. Here we report on multi-dimensional modelling of the explosion physics and radiative transfer that reveals that the breaking of spherical symmetry is a critical factor in determining both the width luminosity relation and the observed scatter about it. The deviation from sphericity can also explain the finite polarization detected in the light from some supernovae. The slope and normalization of the width-luminosity relation has a weak dependence on certain properties of the white dwarf progenitor, in particular the trace abundances of elements other than carbon and oxygen. Failing to correct for this effect could lead to systematic overestimates of up to 2% in the distance to remote supernovae.

description: Business process patterns provide a well-accepted tool for analyzing and improving processes. Thus, patterns have the potential to leverage the sustainable transformation of organizations by considering societal and environmental concerns in addition to economic obligations. Although various process patterns have been proposed, there is a deficit regarding the social dimension of sustainability, which hinders improving processes in terms of issues such as inclusive working environments, employee health, participation, or fair value chains. By drawing on an initial set of socially business process patterns (SBPPs) that has been developed in previous work, this study seeks to examine sustainability reports from several organizations to evaluate, refine, and extend the current set of SBPPs. We contribute to social sustainability and process patterns by enabling researchers and practitioners to explore processes in respect of social concerns as well as providing orientation (i.e., examples) on how to improve social performance.

description: Social media, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things connect people around the globe, offering manifold benefits. However, the technological advances and increased user participation generate novel challenges for users' privacy. From the users' perspective, the consequences of data disclosure depend on the perceived sensitivity of that data. But in light of the new technological opportunities to process and combine data, it is questionable whether users can adequately evaluate risks of data disclosures. As mediating authority, data protection laws such as the European General Data Protection Regulation try to protect user data, granting enhanced protection to “special categories” of data. In this paper, we assess the legal, technological, and users' perspectives on information sensitivity and their interplay. Technologically, all data can be referred to as “potentially sensitive.” The legal and users' perspective on information sensitivity deviate from this standpoint, as some data types are granted special protection by law but are not perceived as very sensitive by users and vice versa. Our key findings still suggest the GDPR adequately protecting users' privacy but for small adjustments.

description: A simple oxidative cross-coupling reaction between vinyl azides and sodium sulfinates was developed. This reaction uses commercial arylsulfinates that are more efficient, cheaper, and more stable as sulfonylation reagents, for efficiently, cheaply, and environmentally friendly synthesis of β-keto sulfones. And the reaction has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, good yield, and also has a wide range of functional group tolerance.
On relative clauses and prosodic phrasing in Ciwandya
Creators: name: Mtenje, Al
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics

description: The interaction between Syntax and Phonology has been one area of interesting empirical research and theoretical debate in recent years, particularly the question of the extent to which syntactic structure influences phonological phrasing. It has generally been observed that the edges of the major syntactic constituents (XPs) tend to coincide with prosodic phrase boundaries thus resulting in XPs like subject NPs, object NPs, Topic NPs, VPs etc. forming separate phonological phrases. Within Optimality Theoretic (OT) accounts, this fact has been attributed to a number of well-motivated general alignment constraints. Studies on relative clauses in Bantu and other languages have significantly contributed to this area of research inquiry where a number of parametric variations have been observed with regard to prosodic phrasing. In some languages, XPs which are heads of relatives form separate phonological phrases while in others they phrase with the relative clauses. This paper makes a contribution to this topic by discussing the phrasing of relatives in Ciwandya (a Bantu language spoken in Malawi and Tanzania). It shows that XPs which are heads of restrictive relative clauses phrase with their relative verbs, regardless of whether they are subjects, objects or other adjuncts. A variety of syntactic constructions are used to illustrate this fact. The discussion also confirms what has been generally observed in other Bantu languages concerning restrictive relatives with clefts and non-restrictive relative clauses. In both cases, the heads of the relatives phrase separately. The paper adopts an OT analysis which has been well articulated and defended in Cheng & Downing (2007, 2010, to appear) Downing & Mtenje (2010, 2011) to account for these phenomena in Ciwandya.

description: A proof of Gödel's incompleteness theorem is given. With this new proof a transfinite extension of Gödel's theorem is considered. It is shown that if one assumes the set theory ZFC on the meta level as well as on the object level, a contradiction arises. The cause is shown to be the implicit identification of the meta level and the object level hidden behind the Gödel numbering. An implication of these considerations is stated.
