description: The increasing presence of sensors in smart homes generates vast amounts of data, which require effective interpretation to be useful, often along with data annotation. While automatic approaches can automatically analyze sensor data but require strict and clean annotations, they often neglect the complex, multidimensional nature of human sensemaking. We explore this gap and propose an approach to bridge this gap. We present preliminary findings from three directions: lay user annotations of sensor data collected in a field study using our Sensorkit solution, analysis of existing annotation tools, and a human-centered design process for a new annotation solution. Our goal is to develop a more integrated approach to sensor data interpretation that benefits both humans and machines.

description: Use of supraglottic airways by emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians has increased for patients of all ages. However, data are limited on real-world use in the prehospital setting, including success rates, complications, and paramedic experience. The objective of this study was to determine frequency of successful i-gel® insertion and associated complications, and to describe paramedic perception of i-gel® use. This was a prospective study of i-gel® use in adult patients at four fire-based EMS Provider Agencies in Los Angeles (LA) County from June to September 2021. All paramedics received asynchronous and hands-on training prior to implementation. The i-gel® was indicated for adult patients in respiratory and/or cardiac arrest of any etiology, as directed by LA County protocols. Patients were included if a paramedic attempted i-gel® placement at any point. After transition of care, paramedics completed a web-based questionnaire and contacted an on-call EMS physician investigator to discuss the case. Further data were abstracted from the EMS electronic patient care record. The primary outcome was successful placement of i-gel® based on adequate ventilation post insertion confirmed with capnography. Secondary outcomes were frequency of complications and paramedic perceived ease of placement and of ventilation with i-gel® measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were reported. Of the 102 adult patients, 55 (54%) were female and the median age was 69 years (IQR 53-79). The majority 91 (89%) of the patients had a paramedic impression of non-traumatic cardiac arrest. Placement was successful in 90 (88%) patients overall with 85 (83%) i-gel® insertions successful on the first attempt. Complications included: 28 (28%) cases with regurgitation/emesis, bleeding (8, 8%), hypoxia (7, 7%), and dislodgement (5, 5%). Among cases of successful i-gel® placement, the majority of paramedics rated both ease of placement and ease of ventilation as “very easy” (69% and 78%, respectively) or “somewhat easy” (23% and 9%). Paramedics were successful in 88% of i-gel® insertion attempts with the most common complication being regurgitation/emesis. Paramedics rated the ease of placement and ease of ventilation of the i-gel® device as “very easy” or “somewhat easy” in the vast majority of cases.

description: Die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Generativer Künstlicher Intelligenz (GKI) hat in jüngster Zeit unter dem Einfluss technologischer Innovationen wie ChatGPT deutlich an Relevanz gewonnen. Die eigentliche Anwendung von GKI im Unternehmenskontext ist jedoch nach wie vor ein wenig untersuchtes Forschungsfeld. Vor diesem Hintergrund zielt der vorliegende Beitrag darauf ab, konkrete Einsatzpotenziale der GKI für die Erstellung von textuellen Inhalten im betrieblichen Umfeld zu identifizieren. Hierfür wurde eine explorative Einzelfallstudie in einem deutschen Versorgungsunternehmen durchgeführt. Als Datenerhebungsmethoden dienten neben einer strukturierten Literaturrecherche Gruppendiskussionen und Experteninterviews. Im Ergebnis konnten 17 Einsatzpotenziale ermittelt werden. Diese können eine Referenz für Unternehmen sein, die an einer Intensivierung der Nutzung von GKI interessiert sind. Die Zukunft der GKI wird aufgrund der rasanten technologischen Entwicklung von ständigen Veränderungen und Neuerungen geprägt sein, sodass sich künftig weitere Einsatzmöglichkeiten ergeben werden. Weiterer Forschungsbedarf besteht insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Anwendung in anderen Branchen und die Vertiefung und Erweiterung einzelner Szenarien.

description: We detect 1.2mm continuum emission from dust in the gravitationally lensed Lyman break galaxy MS 1512+36-cB58. Our detected flux is surprisingly low: relative to local starburst galaxies, cB58 appears to produce somewhat less far-IR emission than its UV reddening predicts. After comparing several different estimates of the source's dust content, we conclude that the apparent discrepancy is most likely related to uncertainty in its UV spectral slope. Alternate scenarios to account for a far-IR "deficit" which rely on a high dust temperature or differential magnification are less satisfactory. Our result underscores one of the risks inherent in characterizing the cosmic star formation history from rest-UV data alone.

We show how they can be overcome and conclude that the coordinate Bethe ansatz does indeed give a complete set of states, as expected.

description: Background: An advantageous property of behavioural signals ,e.g. handwriting, in contrast to morphological ones, such as iris, fingerprint, hand geometry, etc., is the possibility to ask a user for a very rich amount of different tasks. Methods: This article summarises recent findings and applications of different handwriting and drawing tasks in the field of security and health. More specifically, it is focused on on-line handwriting and hand-based interaction, i.e. signals that utilise a digitizing device (specific devoted or general-purpose tablet/smartphone) during the realization of the tasks. Such devices permit the acquisition of on-surface dynamics as well as in-air movements in time, thus providing complex and richer information when compared to the conventional pen and paper method. Conclusions: Although the scientific literature reports a wide range of tasks and applications, in this paper, we summarize only those providing competitive results (e.g. in terms of discrimination power) and having a significant impact in the field.

description: Sustainable practices change businesses in various domains, leveraging digitalization and the according spread of sensor technology and connectivity. In this context, data-driven business models emerge that foster sustainability. Despite the potential benefits of such emerging business models, adoption has been limited. To foster their spread, every affected stakeholder group must benefit. Hence, this study investigates potential incentives to adopt data-driven business models, particularly pay-per-stress, considering all affected stakeholder groups. We examine pay-per-stress in the context of the manufacturing industry, accordingly considering manufacturers, lessors, and lessees. Through semi-structured interviews with 19 experts stemming from those three stakeholder groups, we identify a potential incentive system for enabling more wide-spread adoption. This research contributes to understanding the incentivization of data-driven business models that foster more sustainability by encouraging a use of leased products that enables longer lifespans.

description: Automatic text summarization tools have a great impact on many fields, such as medicine, law, and scientific research in general. As information overload increases, automatic summaries allow handling the growing volume of documents, usually by assigning weights to the extracted phrases based on their significance in the expected summary. Obtaining the main contents of any given document in less time than it would take to do that manually is still an issue of interest. In~this~ article, a new method is presented that allows automatically generating extractive summaries from documents by adequately weighting sentence scoring features using \textit{Particle Swarm Optimization}. The key feature of the proposed method is the identification of those features that are closest to the criterion used by the individual when summarizing. The proposed method combines a binary representation and a continuous one, using an original variation of the technique developed by the authors of this paper. Our paper shows that using user labeled information in the training set helps to find better metrics and weights. The empirical results yield an improved accuracy compared to previous methods used in this field

description: We present the results of $^{12}$CO($J$=1-0) mosaicing observations of the cD galaxy NGC 1316 at kpc-resolution performed with the Morita Array of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). We reveal the detailed distribution of the molecular gas in the central region for the first time: a shell structure in the northwest, a barely resolved blob in the southeast of the center and some clumps between them. The total molecular gas mass obtained with a standard Milky-Way CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor is $(5.62 \pm 0.53)\times10^8$ M$_\odot$, which is consistent with previous studies. The disturbed velocity field of the molecular gas suggests that the molecular gas is injected very recently ($<1$ Gyr) if it has an external origin and is in the process of settling into a rotating disk. Assuming that a low-mass gas-rich galaxy has accreted, the gas-to-dust ratio and H$_2$-to-HI ratio are unusually low ($\sim 28$) and high ($\sim 5.6$), respectively. To explain these ratios, additional processes should be taken into accounts such as an effective dust formation and conversion from atomic to molecular gas during the interaction. We also discuss the interaction between the nuclear jet and the molecular gas.

description: This paper is a continuation of an earlier paper of the authors on the probem of specializations of modules. The aim here is to define specialisations of finitely generated modules over local rings of the form k(u)[X]_P, where u is a family of indeterminates over a field k. The definition depends on the associated primes of the specialisation of the prime ideal P by the substitution of u to elements of k. As in the non-local case, the introduced specializations preserve basic properties and operations on modules.In particular, annihilators of local cohomology modules commute with specializations. As a consequence, Cohen-Macaulayness and Buchsbaumness are preserved by almost al substitutions. The paper also studies the non-Cohen-Macaulay locus and the singular locus of specializations of factor rings of k(u)[X]_P.

description: Background: The performance of biometric modalities based on things done by the subject, like signature and text-based recognition, may be affected by the subject state. Fatigue is one of the conditions that can significantly affect the outcome of handwriting tasks. Recent research has already shown that physical fatigue produces measurable differences in some features extracted from common writing and drawing tasks. It is important to establish to which extent physical fatigue contributes to the intra-person variability observed in these biometric modalities and also to know whether the performance of recognition methods is affected by fatigue. Goal: In this paper we assess the impact of fatigue on intra-user variability and on the performance of signature-based and text-based writer recognition approaches encompassing both identification and verification. Methods: Several signature and text recognition methods are considered and applied to samples gathered after different levels of induced fatigue, measured by metabolic and mechanical assessment and, also by subjective perception. The recognition methods are Dynamic Time Warping and Multi Section Vector Quantization, for signatures, and Allographic Text-Dependent Recognition for text in capital letters. For each fatigue level, the identification and verification performance of these methods is measured. Results: Signature shows no statistically significant intra-user impact, but text does. On the other hand, performance of signature-based recognition approaches is negatively impacted by fatigue whereas the impact is not noticeable in text-based recognition, provided long enough sequences are considered.

description: Recent radio astronomical observations have revealed that HC$_{5}$N, the second shortest cyanopolyyne (HC$_{2n+1}$N), is abundant around some massive young stellar objects (MYSOs), which is not predicted by classical carbon-chain chemistry. For example, the observed HC$_{5}$N abundance toward the G28.28$-$0.36 MYSO is higher than that in L1527, which is one of the warm carbon chain chemistry (WCCC) sources, by more than one order of magnitude (Taniguchi et al., 2017). In this paper, we present chemical simulations of hot-core models with a warm-up period using the astrochemical code Nautilus. We find that the cyanopolyynes are formed initially in the gas phase and accreted onto the bulk and surface of granular ice mantles during the lukewarm phase, which occurs at $25 < T < 100$ K. In slow warm-up period models, the peak abundances occur as the cyanopolyynes desorb from dust grains after the temperature rises above 100 K. The lower limits of the abundances of HC$_{5}$N, CH$_{3}$CCH, and CH$_{3}$OH observed in the G28.28$-$0.36 MYSO can be reproduced in our hot-core models, after their desorption from dust grains. Moreover, previous observations suggested chemical diversity in envelopes around different MYSOs. We discuss possible interpretations of relationships between stages of the star-formation process and such chemical diversity, such as the different warm-up timescales. This timescale depends not only on the mass of central stars but also on the relationship between the size of warm regions and their infall velocity.

Photoevaporation of Clumps in Photodissociation Regions

description: We present the results of an investigation of the effects of Far Ultraviolet (FUV) radiation from hot early type OB stars on clumps in star-forming molecular clouds. Clumps in Photodissociation regions (PDRs) undergo external heating which, if rapid, creates strong photoevaporative mass flows off the clump surfaces, and drives shocks into the clumps, compressing them to high densities. The clumps lose mass on relatively short timescales. The evolution of an individual clump is found to be sensitive to its initial colunm density, the temperature of the heated surface and the ratio of the ``turn-on time'' $t_{FUV}$ of the heating flux on a clump to its initial sound crossing-time $t_{c}$. In this paper, we use spherical 1-D numerical hydrodynamic models as well as approximate analytical models to study the evolution of turbulence-generated and pressure-confined clumps in PDRs. Turbulent clumps evolve so that their column densities are equal to a critical value determined by the local FUV field, and typically have short photoevaporation timescales, $\sim 10^{4-5}$ years for a 1 M$_{\odot}$ clump in a typical star-forming region. Clumps that are confined by an interclump medium may either get completely photoevaporated, or may preserve a shielded core with a warm, dissociated, protective shell that absorbs the incident FUV flux. We compare our results with observations of some well-studied PDRs: the Orion Bar, M17SW, NGC 2023 and the Rosette Nebula. The data are consistent with both interpretations of clump origin, with a slight indication for favouring the turbulent model for clumps over pressure-confined clumps.

description: Using tools previously described and applied to the prototype galaxy NGC 891, we model the optical to far-infrared spectral energy distributions (SED) of four additional edge-on spiral galaxies, namely NGC 5907, NGC 4013, UGC 1082 and UGC 2048. Comparing the model predictions with IRAS and, where available, sub-millimeter and millimeter observations, we determine the respective roles of the old and young stellar populations in grain heating. In all cases, the young population dominates, with the contribution of the old stellar population being at most 40%, as previously found for NGC 891. After normalization to the disk area, the massive star-formation rate (SFR) derived using our SED modeling technique, which is primarily sensitive to the non-ionizing ultraviolet output from the young stellar population, lies in the range 7e-4 - 2e-2 M_sun * yr^-1 * kpc^-2. This is consistent with normalized SFRs derived for face-on galaxies of comparable surface gas densities from H_alpha observations. Though the most active star-forming galaxy of the five in absolute terms, NGC 891 is not an exceptional system in terms of its surface density in SFR.

description: Mollusks play a crucial role in riverine ecosystems, contributing to nutrient cycling, sediment stabilization, and providing food sources for various wildlife. This review examines the diversity of molluscan species in riverine habitats, highlighting their ecological importance, distribution patterns, and the factors influencing their populations. Riverine environments are home to a variety of mollusks, including gastropods, bivalves, and freshwater mussels, each of which serves vital functions in ecosystem health. However, these species face increasing threats from habitat degradation, pollution, invasive species, and climate change. The loss of molluscan diversity can have cascading effects on river health, impairing water quality and disrupting food webs. This review explores the implications of declining molluscan populations for conservation strategies, emphasizing the need for habitat restoration, pollution control, and effective monitoring programs. Additionally, the review discusses the use of mollusks as bioindicators for assessing the ecological status of river systems. Protecting molluscan diversity is essential not only for maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems but also for supporting sustainable riverine resources. Ultimately, integrating molluscan conservation into broader environmental management plans is critical for the preservation of riverine biodiversity and ecosystem services.

description: In weakly collisional space plasmas, the turbulent cascade provides most of the energy that is dissipated at small scales by various kinetic processes. Understanding the characteristics of such dissipative mechanisms requires the accurate knowledge of the fluctuations that make energy available for conversion at small scales, as different dissipation processes are triggered by fluctuations of a different nature. The scaling properties of different energy channels are estimated here using a proxy of the local energy transfer, based on the third-order moment scaling law for magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. In particular, the sign-singularity analysis was used to explore the scaling properties of the alternating positive-negative energy fluxes, thus providing information on the structure and topology of such fluxes for each of the different type of fluctuations. The results show the highly complex geometrical nature of the flux, and that the local contributions associated with energy and cross-helicity nonlinear transfer have similar scaling properties. Consequently, the fractal properties of current and vorticity structures are similar to those of the Alfvénic fluctuations.

The Consequences of the Cosmic Star-Formation Rate: X-ray Number Counts

description: We discuss the observable consequences for the detection of galaxies in the X-ray bandpass resulting from a peak in the cosmic star-formation rate at a redshift > 1. Following White & Ghosh, we assume a large evolution in the X-ray/B luminosity ratio at z ~ 0.5-1.5 resulting from the X-ray binaries that have evolved from stars formed at z > 1-2. Using the HDF-N redshift survey data and the locally observed X-ray/B luminosity ratio as a guide, we estimate a median X-ray flux (2-10 keV) on the order of 8 x 10^-18 ergs/s/cm^2 for galaxies in the HDF-N, which is consistent with a signal derived from a stacking analysis of the HDF-N Chandra data by Brandt et al. (2001). We also predict the number counts in deep X-ray surveys expected from normal galaxies at high redshift.

description: The rapid increase in research publications necessitates effective methods for organizing and analyzing large volumes of textual data. This study evaluates various combinations of embedding models, dimensionality reduction techniques, and clustering algorithms applied to metadata from papers accepted at the ARDUOUS (Annotation of useR Data for UbiquitOUs Systems) workshop over a period of 7 years. The analysis encompasses different types of keywords, including All Keywords (a comprehensive set of all extracted keywords), Multi-word Keywords (phrases consisting of two or more words), Existing Keywords (keywords already present in the metadata), and Single-word Keywords (individual words). The study found that the highest silhouette scores were achieved with 3, 4, and 5 clusters across all keyword types. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) were identified as the most effective dimensionality reduction techniques, while DistilBERT embeddings consistently yielded high scores. Clustering algorithms such as k-means, k-medoids, and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) demonstrated robustness in forming well-defined clusters. These findings provide valuable insights into the main topics covered in the workshop papers and suggest optimal methodologies for analyzing research metadata, thereby enhancing the understanding of semantic relationships in textual data.

description: Observations of various molecular lines toward a disk region of a nearby galaxy are now feasible, and they are being employed as diagnostic tools to study star-formation activities there. However, the spatial resolution attainable for a nearby galaxy with currently available radio telescopes is $10-1000$ pc, which is much larger than the scales of individual star-forming regions and molecular cloud cores. Hence, it is of fundamental importance to elucidate which part of an interstellar medium such spatially-unresolved observations are tracing. Here we present sensitive measurements of the H$_2$CO ($1_{01}-0_{00}$) line at 72 GHz toward giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the spiral arm of M51 using the NRO 45 m and IRAM 30 m telescopes. In conjunction with the previously observed H$_2$CO ($2_{02}-1_{01}$) and CS ($2-1$ and $3-2$) lines, we derive the H$_2$ density of the emitting regions to be $(0.6-2.6)\times10^4$ cm$^{-3}$ and $(2.9-12)\times10^4$ cm$^{-3}$ for H$_2$CO and CS, respectively, by the non-LTE analyses, where we assume the source size of $0.8-1$ kpc and the gas kinetic temperature of $10-20$ K. The derived H$_2$ density indicates that the emission of H$_2$CO and CS is not localized to star-forming cores, but is likely distributed over an entire region of GMCs. Such widespread distributions of H$_2$CO and CS are also supported by models assuming lognormal density distributions over the 1 kpc region. Thus, contributions from the widespread less-dense components should be taken into account for interpretation of these molecular emission observed with a GMC-scale resolution. The different H$_2$ densities derived for H$_2$CO and CS imply their different distributions. We discuss this differences in terms of the formation processes of H$_2$CO and CS.

description: This study addresses the limits of human and artificial intelligence (AI) in face recognition using a specially designed test, which consists of tasks regarding person identification and lookalike discrimination. It was divided into nine sets of four or five queries each. The assignments, presented in the study, were performed by ten super-recognizers from the Chemnitz police department (Saxony) as well as the AI systems “Face Recognition” and “GhostFaceNet”. The evaluation revealed considerable differences in the results of the individual super-recognizers (SR). Additionally, the comparison between human and artificial intelligence in particular revealed clear limitations of the AI in relation to the tasks set. To further evaluate the super-recognizers and AI systems, additional tests are planned, covering various topics such as the identification of siblings or the recognition of faces aged by AI.

description: Vetting of exoplanet candidates in transit surveys is a manual process, which suffers from a large number of false positives and a lack of consistency. Previous work has shown that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) provide an efficient solution to these problems. Here, we apply a CNN to classify planet candidates from the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). For training datasets we compare both real data with injected planetary transits and fully-simulated data, as well as how their different compositions affect network performance. We show that fewer hand labelled lightcurves can be utilised, while still achieving competitive results. With our best model, we achieve an AUC (area under the curve) score of $(95.6\pm{0.2})\%$ and an accuracy of $(88.5\pm{0.3})\%$ on our unseen test data, as well as $(76.5\pm{0.4})\%$ and $(74.6\pm{1.1})\%$ in comparison to our existing manual classifications. The neural network recovers 13 out of 14 confirmed planets observed by NGTS, with high probability. We use simulated data to show that the overall network performance is resilient to mislabelling of the training dataset, a problem that might arise due to unidentified, low signal-to-noise transits. Using a CNN, the time required for vetting can be reduced by half, while still recovering the vast majority of manually flagged candidates. In addition, we identify many new candidates with high probabilities which were not flagged by human vetters.

description: CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) with block-wise transfer (BWT) option is a known protocol choice for large data transfer in general lossy IoT network environments. Lossy transmission environments on the other hand lead to CoAP resending multiple blocks, which creates overheads. To tackle this problem, we design a BWT with network coding (NC), with the goal to reducing the number of unnecessary retransmissions. The results show the reduction in the number of block retransmissions for different values of blocksize, implying the reduced transfer time. For the maximum blocksize of 1024 bytes and total probability loss of 0.5, CoAP with NC can resend up to 5 times less blocks.

 As the previous species, this species belongs also to the horridus species group (Chant and McMurtry 1994). It was recorded in several countries of Asia, in Burundi, Madagascar (Demite et al. 2020) and La Réunion (Quilici et al. 2000). Its biology remains totally unknown. It was recently recorded in Mauritius Island by Ferragut and Baumann (2019).
 World distribution: Burundi, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Madagascar Island, Philippines, la Réunion Island, Singapore, Taiwan.
 Specimens examined: a single ♀ specimen collected during this study. Pomoni, exit of the village (34 m aasl, 12°17  ′  01  ″  S, 44°24  ′  52  ″  E), 1 ♀ on Hibiscus tiliaceus L. (Malvaceae), 30/XI/2018.
 Remarks: this species was the more numerous species of Phytoseius collected in Mauritius by Ferragut and Baumann (2019) and Kreiter and Abo­Shnaf (2020b). It was reported for the first time by these authors from Mauritius, but was already reported by Quilici et al. (2000) from Mascareignes Archipelago in La Réunion Island where Kreiter et al. (2020d) had recovered the species, and from Rodrigues Island (Kreiter and abo­Shnaf 2020a). Morphological and morphometric characters of our specimens fit well with those provided by Ueckermann et al. (2007) and Kreiter et al. (2020d).
