Docking and Undocking a Modular Underactuated Oscillating Swimming Robot

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We describe a docking mechanism and strategy to allow modular self-assembly for the Modboat: an inexpensive underactuated oscillating swimming robot powered by a single motor. Because propulsion is achieved through oscillation, orientation can be controlled only in the average; this complicates docking, which requires precise position and orientation control. Given these challenges, we present a docking strategy and a motion primitive for controlling orientation, and show that this strategy allows successful docking in multiple configurations. Moreover, we demonstrate that the Modboat is also capable of undocking and changing its dock configuration, all without any additional actuation. This is unique among similar modular robotic systems.

description: The dc Josephson effect is investigated in a single-walled metallic carbon nanotube connected to two superconducting leads. In particular, by using the Luttinger liquid theory, we analyze the effects of the electron-electron interaction on the supercurrent. We find that in the long junction limit the strong electronic correlations of the nanotube, together with its peculiar band structure, induce oscillations in the critical current as a function of the junction length and/or the nanotube electron filling. These oscillations represent a signature of the Luttinger liquid physics of the nanotube, for they are absent if the interaction is vanishing. We show that this effect can be exploited to reverse the sign of the supercurrent, realizing a tunable π-junction.

description: Networks are widely used in the biological, physical, and social sciences as a concise mathematical representation of the topology of systems of interacting components. Understanding the structure of these networks is one of the outstanding challenges in the study of complex systems. Here we describe a general technique for detecting structural features in large-scale network data which works by dividing the nodes of a network into classes such that the members of each class have similar patterns of connection to other nodes. Using the machinery of probabilistic mixture models and the expectation-maximization algorithm, we show that it is possible to detect, without prior knowledge of what we are looking for, a very broad range of types of structure in networks. We give a number of examples demonstrating how the method can be used to shed light on the properties of real-world networks, including social and information networks.

description: We have carried out spectroscopic measurements of a system of three strongly coupled four-junction flux qubits. The samples studied cover a wide range of parameters with the coupling energy between neighboring qubits varying between 0.75 GHz and 6.05 GHz. The observed complicated spectra agree well with eight-level theory. The experiments are relevant for the realization of a tunable coupling between qubits.

description: We combine adaptive template fitting and pixel count statistics in order to assess the nature of the Galactic center excess in Fermi-LAT data. We reconstruct the flux distribution of point sources well below the Fermi-LAT detection threshold, and measure their radial and longitudinal profiles in the inner Galaxy. We find that all point sources $and$ the bulge-correlated diffuse emission each contributes $\mathcal{O}$(10\%) of the total inner Galaxy emission, and disclose a potential sub-threshold point-source contribution to the Galactic center excess.

description: Winglets, the small "wings" at the tip of aircraft wings, have long been of particular interest. Do they only offer a convenient area for the airline logo, or are there any other good reasons for equipping an aircraft with winglets? In fact, winglets have a global influence on the flow field and can thus make a significant contribution to reducing air resistance. But how does a winglet work in detail? How can aerodynamic mechanisms be used to generate a noticeable effect on the aircraft system in a severely restricted parameter space? It also requires profound knowledge of various interactions with other disciplines. Is the integration of winglets the real challenge? There are clear differences between retrofitting existing aircraft or a new design. Finally, all solutions, along with their respective motivations, will be presented on the basis of the complete Airbus fleet.

description: The spectrometer aboard INTEGRAL, SPI, has the capability to detect the signature of polarised emission from a bright gamma-ray source. GRB 041219a is the most intense burst localised by INTEGRAL and is an ideal candidate for such a study. Polarisation can be measured using multiple events scattered into adjacent detectors because the Compton scatter angle depends on the polarisation of the incoming photon. A search for linear polarisation in the most intense pulse of duration 66 seconds and in the brightest 12 seconds of GRB 041219a was performed in the 100-350keV, 100-500keV and 100keV-1MeV energy ranges. The multiple event data from the spectrometer was analysed and compared with the predicted instrument response obtained from Monte-Carlo simulations using the GEANT 4 INTEGRAL mass model. The chi^2 distribution between the real and simulated data as a function of the percentage polarisation and polarisation angle was calculated for all three energy ranges. The degree of linear polarisation in the brightest pulse of duration 66s was found to be 63+/-31% at an angle of 70+/-14 degrees in the 100-350keV energy range. The degree of polarisation was also constrained in the brightest 12s of the GRB and a polarisation fraction of 96+/-40% at an angle of 60+/-14 degrees was determined over the same energy range. However, despite extensive analysis and simulations, a systematic effect that could mimic the weak polarisation signal could not be definitively excluded. Our results over several energy ranges and time intervals are consistent with a polarisation signal of about 60% at a low level of significance (2 sigma). We conclude that the procedure described here demonstrates the effectiveness of using SPI as a polarimeter, and is a viable method of measuring polarisation levels in intense gamma--ray bursts.

Data Management Plan

description: A Data Management Plan helps achieve optimal handling, organising, documenting and enhancing of research data. It is particularly important for facilitating data sharing, ensuring the sustainability and accessibility of data in the long-term and allowing data to be reused for future research. For the effective management of data, planning must start when research is being designed and needs to consider both how data will be managed during the research and how they will be shared afterwards. This document includes presentation slides from the Day 2 of the event.

description: We applied our recently proposed empirical formula, a formula quite successful in describing essential trends of the lowest excitation energies of the natural parity even multipole states, to the lowest excitation energies of the natural parity odd multipole states in even-even nuclei throughout the entire periodic table. Even though the systematic behavior of the lowest excitation energies of odd multipole states is quite different from those of even multipole states, we have shown that the same empirical formula also holds reasonably well for the odd multipole states with the exception of a few certain instances.

Comment on "Nonlocality claims are inconsistent with Hilbert-space quantum mechanics"
Creators: name: Lambare, Justo Pastor
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The view exists that the Bell inequality is a mere inconsistent application of classical concepts to a well-established quantum world. In the article, ``Nonlocality claims are inconsistent with Hilbert-space quantum mechanics'' [Phys. Rev. A, 101, 022117, (2020)], Robert B. Griffiths advocates for quantum theory's locality. Although R. B. Griffiths presents valuable insights in favor of quantum mechanics' local character, he argues the Bell inequality is an inconsistent application of classical physics to quantum mechanics. We explain why a correct assessment of the Bell inequality does not in fact conflict with Griffiths's views of quantum locality and, on the contrary, it already contemplates them. Hence, Bell inequality inconsistency is not necessary for Griffiths's quantum locality to hold.

Crystal truncation rods in kinematical and dynamical x-ray diffraction theories

description: Crystal truncation rods calculated in the kinematical approximation are shown to quantitatively agree with the sum of the diffracted waves obtained in the two-beam dynamical calculations for different reflections along the rod. The choice and the number of these reflections are specified. The agreement extends down to at least $\sim 10^{-7}$ of the peak intensity. For lower intensities, the accuracy of dynamical calculations is limited by truncation of the electron density at a mathematically planar surface, arising from the Fourier series expansion of the crystal polarizability.

description: We report observations of gaseous methanol in an edge-on torus surrounding the young stellar object L1551 IRS5. The peaks in the torus are separated by ~ 10,000 AU from L1551 IRS5, and contain ~ 0.03 earth masses of cold methanol. We infer that the methanol abundance increases in the outer part of the torus, probably as a result of methanol evaporation from dust grain surfaces heated by the shock luminosity associated with the shocks associated with the jets of an externally located x-ray source. Any methanol released in such a cold environment will rapidly freeze again, spreading methanol throughout the circumbinary torus to nascent dust grains, planitesimals, and primitive bodies. These observations probe the initial chemical conditions of matter infalling onto the disk.

description: Precursor phenomena observed prior to the martensite phase transition plays a critical role towards the understanding of important technological properties of shape memory and magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs). The premartensite (PM) phase, considered as the precursor state of the martensite is proven to be a thermodynamically stable phase recently (Nature Commun. 8, 1006 (2017)), necessitates a critical investigation of precursor effects in these materials. We present here an evidence for the existence of a precursor state of the PM phase in Ni2MnGa MSMA using high energy synchrotron pair distribution function (PDF) study. The precursor state embedded within the austenite matrix in the short-range ordered (SRO) regime starting from far above the actual PM phase transition. The presence of such SRO precursor states of the PM phase produces strains which couple with the ferromagnetic (FM) order parameter around TC leading to first order character of the paramagnetic to FM phase transition.

description: In little more than a decade, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and a host of other upstart companies have changed the conversation about commercial space. While the plans and dreams of these pioneers were initially dismissed by nation states and major corporate launch providers, they have emerged as disruptors for the global launch market. This presentation chronicles the evolution of the disruptive commercial industry. Whether it is the billionaires, Bezos and Musk, or small bootstrap providers like Rocket Lab, Sierra Nevada, or Vector Space, these disruptors are rapidly reducing the cost of delivering satellites to orbit. How did we get here? and where are we going? are just two of the questions that are examined in this presentation.

description: Conducting clinical research is a fundamental part of oncology. The purpose of this study was to examine legal, medical and ethical aspects of research in oncology in a more evidence-based manner, when this was possible. Amongst the topics that are discussed are the idea of informed consent, the content and the way consent forms are written, non-clinical research, the rules that should govern research with stored biological samples and research in the human genome. Then an attempt was made to analyze each study phase separately with the problem that can each entail such as randomization and research with control subjects treated with placebo. Also, there are mentions about ethical problems that may arise when research is done with participants who are underage or otherwise vulnerable. Moreover, there is a listing of problems arising in connection with financial aspects of research such as the payment of subjects and their compensation, as well as conflicts of interest that may exist. Finally there is a small discussion if there is a right to do research or to take part in it and if all of us have an obligation to participate in research.

description: The CACTUS experiment recently observed a gamma ray excess above 50 GeV from the direction of the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Considering that Draco is dark matter dominated the gamma rays may be generated through dark matter annihilation in the Draco halo. In the framework of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model we explore the parameter space to account for the gamma ray signals at CACTUS. We find that the neutralino mass is constrained to be approximately in the range between 100 GeV ~ 400 GeV and a sharp central cuspy of the dark halo profile in Draco is necessary to explain the CACTUS results. We then discuss further constraints on the supersymmetric parameter space by observations at the ground based ARGO detector. It is found that the parameter space can be strongly constrained by ARGO if no excess from Draco is observed above 100 GeV.

description: Globalization processes interweave economic structures at a worldwide scale, trade playing a central role as one of the elemental channels of interaction among countries. Despite the significance of such phenomena, measuring economic globalization still remains an open problem. More quantitative treatments could improve the understanding of globalization at the same time that help a formal basis for comparative economic history. In this letter, we investigate the time evolution of the statistical properties of bilateral trade imbalances between countries in the trade system. We measure their cumulative probability distribution at different moments in time to discover a sudden transition circa 1960 from a regime where the distribution was always represented by a steady characteristic function to a new state where the distribution dilates as time goes on. This suggests that the rule that was governing the statistical behavior of bilateral trade imbalances until the 60's abruptly changed to a new form persistent in the last decades. In the new regime, the figures for the different years collapse into a universal master curve when rescaled by the corresponding global gross domestic product value. This coupling points to an increased interdependence of world economies and its onset corresponds in time with the starting of the last globalization wave.

The use of heritage conservation tools in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia
Creators: name: Savoie, Timothy Leonard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The Lower Mainland of British Columbia is growing rapidly resulting in a dramatic alteration of the landscape. Associated with this growth is the loss of community heritage structures and properties. This destruction is occurring at a rapid rate even though conservation mechanisms, tools and strategies exist. This thesis examines the practice of heritage conservation and identifies the heritage conservation tools that are presently being utilized by a number of selected Lower Mainland municipalities. It then outlines the necessary conditions that a community must possess for existing conservation tools to be effective. A literature review of existing heritage conservation statutes was conducted to identify the statutory tools available for conservation purposes. The primary method of investigation involved interviewing 13 prominent heritage professionals from the Provincial Government, selected Municipal Governments, and the private planning sector. The survey allowed the author to generate a ‘tools chest’ of mechanisms available for conservation purposes. In total 23 conservation tools were identified from both the literature review and survey. Research indicated that the perceived responsibility for heritage conservation in British Columbia rested with local governments. To date these governments have had limited success in ensuring long term management and protection of heritage properties within their jurisdictions. Conservation tools presently being applied to manage these community resources are limited in scope and applicable only under specific ownership conditions. In general, local governments are under utilizing the conservation tools available to them. Reasons for this may include the lack of political and public support, in addition to, monetary and time restraints directed for this purpose. This study concludes with recommendations for local governments and the planning profession regarding the direction which these groups should embark on with future conservation activities.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αναλύεται η επίδραση των φόρων στην οικονομική μεγέθυνση. Τα δεδομένα που χρησιμοποιούνται είναι τύπου πάνελ και αναφέρονται στην χρονική περίοδο 2001-2010, για τριάντα χώρες του ΟΟΣΑ. Οι μέθοδοι που εφαρμόζονται είναι η απλή Μέθοδος Ελαχίστων Τετραγώνων (Ordinary Least Squares-OLS) και η Γενικευμένη Μέθοδος Ροπών Συστήματος (System Generalized Method of Moments-SYS GMM). Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας επιβεβαιώνουν ότι οι περισσότεροι φόροι επηρεάζουν την οικονομική μεγέθυνση. Συγκεκριμένα, οι φόροι κατανάλωσης και ιδιοκτησίας, οι φόροι κατανάλωσης εξαιρουμένων των φόρων ιδιοκτησίας, ο φόρος προστιθέμενης αξίας και οι φόροι εισοδήματος φυσικών προσώπων έχουν αρνητική επίδραση στην οικονομική μεγέθυνση ενώ αντίθετα οι φόροι εισοδήματος με την ευρεία έννοια και οι φόροι εισοδήματος νομικών προσώπων παρουσιάζουν θετική επίδραση. Τα αποτελέσματα αυτά χαρακτηρίζονται από αξιοπιστία καθώς έπειτα από την χρήση πρόσθετων μεταβλητών ελέγχου παρέμειναν αμετάβλητα. Τέλος, η προοδευτικότητα των φόρων εισοδήματος φυσικών προσώπων παρουσιάζει και αυτή αρνητική επίδραση στην οικονομική μεγέθυνση.
description: The present paper examines the effect of taxes on economic growth. The data being used are panel data and refer to the time period 2001-2010, for thirty countries of OECD. The methods used are the Ordinary Least Squares Method (OLS) and the System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS GMM). The results of this study confirm that most taxes affect economic growth. More precisely, consumption and property taxes, consumption taxes excluding property taxes, value added tax and personal income taxes are shown to have a negative effect on economic growth. However, corporate taxes and the broad category of income taxes present a positive effect. These results are robust because they remained consistent after the use of additional control variables. Finally, the progressivity of personal income taxes also has a negative effect on economic growth.

description: CeRh$_6$Ge$_4$ is an unusual example of a stoichiometric heavy fermion ferromagnet, which can be cleanly tuned by hydrostatic pressure to a quantum critical point. In order to understand the origin of this anomalous behavior, we have characterized the magnetic ordering and crystalline electric field (CEF) scheme of this system. While magnetic Bragg peaks are not resolved in neutron powder diffraction, coherent oscillations are observed in zero-field $μ$SR below $T_{\rm C}$, which are consistent with in-plane ferromagnetic ordering consisting of reduced Ce moments. From analyzing the magnetic susceptibility and inelastic neutron scattering, we propose a CEF-level scheme which accounts for the easy-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy, where the low lying first excited CEF exhibits significantly stronger hybridization than the ground state. These results suggest that the orbital anisotropy of the ground state and low lying excited state doublets are important for realizing anisotropic electronic coupling between the $f$- and conduction electrons, which gives rise to the highly anisotropic hybridization observed in photoemission experiments.

description: Design work began on the De Havilland Comet in September 1946. Key features: 36 passengers, range 2800 km, cruising speed 780 km/h, cruising altitude 35000 ft, aluminium construction, four de Havilland Ghost Jet engines. The pressurised cabin was designed for a cabin pressure equivalent to an altitude of 8000 ft. De Havilland were aware of the likelihood of fatigue and had installed several safety measures and tests in line with certification requirements. First flight was on 27th July 1949. The aircraft entered service on 2nd May 1952 (G-ALYP) and put the UK aircraft industry at the forefront of technology. First accident of a De Havilland Comet was on 10th January 1954. G-ALYP crashed into the sea leaving Rome. Flight services was resumed on 23rd March 1954. The second accident was on 8th April 1954. G-ALYY crashed also into the sea leaving Rome. The Certificate of Airworthiness was withdrawn 12th April 1954. Intensive research followed, concentrating on the understanding of structural fatigue. A Comet fuselage was pressurized in a water tank. The recovered wreckage of the "YP" was assembled on frames by the RAE. It was found that the aircraft disassembled in the air. The accident was caused by structural failure of the pressure cabin, brought about by fatigue. The square windows were the cause of high stresses. The bolt hole which failed on "YP" had a defect in the chamfer which indicated the potential for manufacturing defects on all skin holes. The interaction of the skin stresses and the manufacturing defects was beyond the scientific knowledge base of the early 1950s. The Comet flew again as the Comet IV with different window design. The Comet was the first airliner to fly a scheduled service across the Atlantic on 4th October 1958. It remained in service as the Nimrod until 60 years after first Comet flight. The presentation revisits the Comet case and shows a modern investigation based on the research done in the 1950th and the "Paris Law" from 1963 which allows the calculation of crack growth. Using the data from the 1950’s, it was calculated: parameter A = 49.5 MPa m^(1/2) and exponent m = 5. As such, the material behaved slightly worse than current similar alloys. Crack growth analysis calculated the life of "YP" as 1272 cycles. The actual number of pressurised flights was 1290.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη του φαινομένου του «άλματος της πίστης» και της τέχνης. Αρχικά μελετήσαμε την έννοια του «άλματος της πίστης», όπως αυτό φαίνεται στα κείμενα του Soren Kierkegaard, «Η Έννοια της Αγωνίας» και «Ο Μύθος του Αβραάμ» και παράλληλα αναφερθήκαμε σε συναφείς θεωρίες του υπαρξισμού, προς διασάφηση αυτής της έννοιας. Έπειτα, με γνώμονα το «άλμα πίστης» εξετάσαμε την λειτουργία της αλήθειας στο νιτσεϊκό έργο και την υπέρβαση αυτή της αλήθειας από το φαινόμενο της τέχνης, αναφερόμενοι παράλληλα στην λογοτεχνικότητα των κειμένων του Νίτσε. Τέλος ασχοληθήκαμε με το δοκίμιο του Στέφεν Τσβάιχ «Το μυστήριο της καλλιτεχνικής δημιουργίας» το οποίο συνδυάζει τις απόψεις, τόσο του Kierkegaard, όσο και του Νίτσε.
description: The aim of the thesis was to study the phenomenon of “leap of faith” and the phenomenon of art. Firstly we studied the notion of “leap of faith” as it is described in the texts of Soren Kierkegaard, “The Concept of Anxiety” and “The Myth of Abraham”. In the same time we referred to theories of existentialism, to clarify this notion. Then, using “leap of faith” as a guide, we have examined the role of truth in the work of Nietzsche and the transcendence of truth by art. We have also examined the litterative nature of Nietzsche’s works, to support the arguments. Lastly, we have analyzed the essay of Stephen Zweig “The mystery of artful creation”, which combines the views of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche both.

description: We employ the string/gauge theory correspondence to study properties of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasmas in thermal gauge theories with a large number of colors and flavors. In particular, we analyze non-critical string duals of conformal (S)QCD, as well as ten dimensional wrapped fivebrane duals of SQCD-like theories. We study general properties of the dual plasmas, including the drag force exerted on a probe quark and the jet quenching parameter. We find that these plasma observables depend on the number of colors and flavors in the ``QCD dual''; in particular, we find that the jet quenching parameter increases linearly with N_f/N_c at leading order in the probe limit. In the ten dimensional case we find a non trivial drag coefficient but a vanishing jet quenching parameter. We comment on the relation of this result with total screening and argue that the same features are shared by all known plasmas dual to fivebranes in ten dimensions. We also construct new D5 black hole solutions with spherical horizon and show that they exhibit the same features.
