description: We study a system represented by a Bose-Einstein condensate interacting with a cavity field in presence of a strong off-resonant pumping laser. This system can be described by a three-mode Gaussian state, where two are the atomic modes corresponding to atoms populating upper and lower momentum sidebands and the third mode describes the scattered cavity field light. We show that, as a consequence of the collective atomic recoil instability, these modes possess a genuine tripartite entanglement that increases unboundedly with the evolution time and is larger than the bipartite entanglement in any reduced two-mode bipartition. We further show that the state of the system exhibits genuine tripartite nonlocality, which can be revealed by a robust violation of the Svetlichny inequality when performing displaced parity measurements. Our exact results are obtained by exploiting the powerful machinery of phase-space informational measures for Gaussian states, which we briefly review in the opening sections of the paper.

description: In the manufacturing process of Tailored Forming components, the inline inspection of the joining zone directly after each single process step can yield advantages - such as early error detection and real-time process control. Since measuring times need to be synchronized with the production chain, there is no time to cool down the components in between two hot forming processes. On the one hand, the chosen measurement technique needs to be non-tactile due to the heat of the measurement object. On the other hand, the object's areal surface texture needs to be captured rapidly to realize a fast inline inspection. These requirements are only matched by optical 3d measurement systems. Additional challenges arise due to the high temperature of the Tailored Forming components: The ambient air is heated up and the air's temperature increase results in an inhomogeneous refractive index field surrounding the hot workpiece, effecting the light's path emitted by the illumination unit of the optical sensor. We present a simple measurement setup based on the laser light section method to visualize the measurement accuracy loss induced by the convectional heat flow from a hot cylindrical measurement object. To attain a direct validation of the measurement results, the measurements are performed with and with reduced influence of the inhomogeneous refractive index field induced by the hot object. © 2017 SPIE.

description: We report the discovery of the L dwarf WISE J174102.78$-$464225.5, that was discovered as part of a search for nearby L dwarfs using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The distinct triangular peak of the H-band portion of its near-infrared spectrum and its red near-infrared colors ($J-K_S$ = 2.35$\pm$0.08 mag) are indicative of a young age. Via comparison to spectral standards and other red L dwarfs, we estimate a near-infrared spectral type to be L7$\pm$2 (pec). From a comparison to spectral and low-mass evolutionary models, we determine self-consistent effective temperature, log $g$, age, and mass values of 1450$\pm$100 K, 4.0$\pm$0.25 (cm s$^{-2}$), 10-100 Myr, and 4-21 M$_{Jup}$, respectively. With an estimated distance of 10-30 pc, we explore the possibility that WISE J174102.78-464225.5 belongs to one of the young nearby moving groups via a kinematic analysis and we find potential membership in the $β$ Pictoris or AB Doradus associations. A trigonometric parallax measurement and a precise radial velocity can help to secure its membership in either of these groups.

description: In many application areas such as object reconstruction or quality assurance, it is required to completely or partly measure the shape of an object or at least the cross section of the required object region. For complex geometries, therefore, multiple views are needed to bypass undercuts respectively occlusions. Hence, a multi-sensor measuring system for complex geometries has to consist of multiple light-stripe sensors that are surrounding the measuring object in order to complete the measurements in a prescribed time. The number of sensors depends on the object geometry and dimensions. In order to create a uniform 3D data set from the data of individual sensors, a registration of each individual data set into a common global coordinate system has to be performed. Stateof- the-art registration methods for light-stripe sensors use only data from object intersection with the respective laser plane of each sensor. At the same time the assumption is met that all laser planes are coplanar and that there are corresponding points in two data sets. However, this assumption does not represent the real case, because it is nearly impossible to align multiple laser planes in the same plane. For this reason, sensor misalignments are neglected by this assumption. In this work a new registration method for light-stripe sensors is presented that considers sensor misalignments as well as intended sensor displacements and tiltings. The developed method combines 3D pose estimation and triangulated data to properly register the real sensor pose in 3D space. © 2017 SPIE.
Next generation research data repositories: bringing computation to data for exploratory data analysis and visualisation

description: Data repositories allow open access to research data, but most of the repository platforms have limitations reducing FAIRness. Lack of support for folders results in datasets to be published as large and compressed archive files that reduces accessibility and interoperability. Similarly, limited support for random data access prevents cloud-native formats to be utilized effectively and efficiently through the repositories. Because data preview capabilities of the repositories are also limited, in practice, the researchers need to download large datasets and find ways to explore them to understand their content and quality.
Open Data Explorer aims to lessen these needs and facilitate rapid exploratory data analysis and visualisation of research data by providing a ready-to-use interactive computing platform where research data is directly available for computing. Each user is provided with a dedicated computing environment based on JupyterLab that supports interactive notebooks and a rich set of data access, analysis, and visualization packages in multiple languages (e.g., Python, R). To enable zero-waiting time access to a large number of datasets, the platform caches research data in a useful state (i.e., uncompressed) on-demand and also proactively by monitoring popular and new datasets available on selected data repositories. Example exploratory data analysis notebooks are automatically generated for each dataset based on its file types (e.g., CVS, NetCDF, GeoTIFF) and they are further tailored according to the dataset content so that they can be directly used for analysis with minimum user input. With the provided features, the open-source Open Data Explorer platform prevents unnecessary and ineffective downloading of datasets and reduces the time to explore research data. It also resolves the need for a separate computing environment to explore research data, and moreover facilitates the exploration task through tailor-made template notebooks. This talk will provide in-depth information about the architecture of the platform and its capabilities. The platform will also be demonstrated by using different research data repositories and research datasets.

description: We study fragments of first-order logic and of least fixed point logic that allow only unary negation: negation of formulas with at most one free variable. These logics generalize many interesting known formalisms, including modal logic and the $μ$-calculus, as well as conjunctive queries and monadic Datalog. We show that satisfiability and finite satisfiability are decidable for both fragments, and we pinpoint the complexity of satisfiability, finite satisfiability, and model checking. We also show that the unary negation fragment of first-order logic is model-theoretically very well behaved. In particular, it enjoys Craig Interpolation and the Projective Beth Property.

description: For those minimally invasive surgery where conventional surgical instruments cannot reach the surgical site due to their straight structure and rigidity, concentric tube continuum robots are a promising technology because of their small size (comparable to a needle) and maneuverability. These flexible, compliant manipulators can easily access hard to reach anatomical structures, e.g. by turning around corners. By teleoperating the robot the surgeon stays in direct control at any time. In this paper, three off-the-shelf input devices are considered for teleoperation of a concentric tube continuum robot: a 3D mouse, a gamepad, and a 3 degrees of freedom haptic input device. Three tasks which mimic relevant surgical maneuvers are performed by 12 subjects using each input device: reaching specific locations, picking and placing objects from one location to another, and approaching the surgical site through a restricted pathway. We present quantitative results (task completion time, accuracy, etc.), a statistical analysis, and empirical results (questionnaires). Overall, the performance of subjects using the 3D mouse was superior to the performance using the other input devices. The subjective ranking of the 3D mouse by the subjects confirms this result. © 2015 SPIE.
Control of Majorana Edge Modes by a g-factor Engineered Nanowire Spin Transistor

description: We propose the manipulation of Majorana edge states via hybridization and spin currents in a nanowire spin transistor. The spin transistor is based on a heterostructure nanowire comprising of semiconductors with large and small g-factors that form the topological and non-topological regions respectively. The hybridization of bound edge states results in spin currents and $4π$-periodic torques, as a function of the relative magnetic field angle -- an effect which is dual to the fractional Josephson effect. We establish relation between torques and spin-currents in the non-topological region where the magnetic field is almost zero and spin is conserved along the spin-orbit field direction. The angular momentum transfer could be detected by sensitive magnetic resonance force microscopy techniques.

description: In this book chapter, we carefully examine how generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, can facilitate second/foreign language acquisition from a Vygotskyan cultural-historical perspective. Core theoretical concepts from Vygotsky's works include perezhivanie, speech development, and the zone of proximal development (ZPD). Three foundational principles for understanding second language acquisition within this framework encompass: (1) considering the environment as a wellspring of the ideal forms of the target language, (2) emphasizing internalization through active and meaningful social interactions, and (3) acknowledging optimal second language acquisition when effectively scaffolded in the zone of proximal development of the individual. Furthermore, we underscore the significance of ChatGPT's capabilities, including providing input in the target language, simulating genuine conversations, responding to queries on various subjects, and furnishing feedback—essential functions for cultivating the process of learning a second or foreign language.

description: This work investigates combination of Optical Coherence Tomography and two cameras, observing a microscopic scene. Stereo vision provides realistic images, but is limited in terms of penetration depth. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) enables access to subcutaneous structures, but 3D-OCT volume data do not give the surgeon a familiar view. The extension of the stereo camera setup with OCT imaging combines the benefits of both modalities. In order to provide the surgeon with a convenient integration of OCT into the vision interface, we present an automated image processing analysis of OCT and stereo camera data as well as combined imaging as augmented reality visualization. Therefore, we care about OCT image noise, perform segmentation as well as develop proper registration objects and methods. The registration between stereo camera and OCT results in a Root Mean Square error of 284 μm as average of five measurements. The presented methods are fundamental for fusion of both imaging modalities. Augmented reality is shown as application of the results. Further developments lead to fused visualization of subcutaneous structures, as information of OCT images, into stereo vision. © 2015 SPIE.

description: In this work we are interested in the problem of energy management in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). The solving and optimization of MANET allow assisting the users to efficiently use their devices in order to minimize the batteries power consumption. In this framework, we propose a modelling of the MANET in form of a Constraint Optimization Problem called COMANET. Then, in the objective to minimize the consumption of batteries power, we present an approach based on an adaptation of the A star algorithm to the MANET problem called MANED. Finally, we expose some experimental results showing utility of this approach.

description: Dante, on his way through the second circle of Purgatory, that of the envious, encounters souls who utter the words italicized above, words which form their prayer addressed to the Virgin Mary, to the Archangel Michael, to St. Peter and to all the Saints. It has generally been assumed that the words are part of the Litany of the Saints. Thus Scartazzini (Leipzig ed. of the Purgatorio) gives the note: “queste anime cantano le litanie de' Santi, nelle quali all' invocazione di Maria si fa succedere quella dell' Arcangelo Michele.
… Le anime che qui piangono l’invidia, hanno in dispregio i miseri spartimenti delle eredità terrene, pensano alla celeste eredità partecipata, e non diminuita, da' figliuoli di Dio, e a tutti i posseditori di quella eredità si raccomandono amorosamente colle Litanie de’ Santi,” etc. Scartazzini, following Perez (Sette Cerchi, p. 146), is interpreting the present passage in view of a later one, Purgatorio XV, 49 ff., which deals with the idea that through community of enjoyment the amount of heavenly bliss is not in any way diminished. Now, it seems just a trifle far-fetched fetched to find any necessary connection between these two passages.

Two Traces of the Cycle of Guillaume d'Orange in the Old Spanish Romances

description: In his treatise on the old Spanish romances, Sr. M. Menéndez y Pelayo calls attention to a few traces of the epic cycle of Guillaume d'Orange found among the romances of the Carolingian cycle. He mentions particularly El Soldan de Babilonia y el Conde de Narbona, El Almirante Guarinos, and in Valdovinos y el Marques de Mantua, a vow similar to that of Guillaume in Aliscans. Two other fragments of the cycle of Guillaume, which seem not to have been ascribed to their probable sources, occur, one in Valdovinos, the other in a poem concerning Floripes and Gui de Borgoña, which forms one of a series of romances about Charlemagne and his followers. The first part of Valdovinos, which Menéndez y Pelayo considers the oldest part, relates a situation very similar to the famous scene of the death of Vivien. Danes Urgel, Marques de Mantua while hunting, is separated from his followers and loses his way. In the heart of the forest he finds his nephew Valdovinos dying of wounds received through the treachery of Carloto, the son of Charlemagne. The servant of Valdovinos has been sent to find a confessor, and returns, while the marquis is speaking with his nephew, accompanied by a hermit, who administers the last rites to the dying man.
Simultaneous semantic segmentation and friction estimation using hierarchical latent variable models
Creators: name: Otoofi, Mohammad
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2025

description: This study redefines the problem of friction estimation as a visual perceptual learning task, advancing towards a joint per-pixel estimation of friction and surface classification by leveraging an onboard camera. By leveraging conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE), this research aims to develop a reliable system for friction estimation, ultimately enhancing vehicle safety and performance under varying environmental conditions.A new framework for unified friction estimation and segmentation is proposed, utilizing generalized ELBO with constrained optimization (GECO) to balance the trade-offs between friction estimation accuracy, segmentation accuracy, and the model’s robustness. This framework introduces an end-to-end approach that simultaneously addresses semantic segmentation and friction estimation within a unified system. The integrated methodology leverages the interrelations between surface identification and friction estimation for mutual benefit.Key challenges addressed in this project include ensuring cost-effectiveness and deployment across various vehicle types, managing environmental variability such as sun glare and rainy weather, and overcoming the lack of available data for friction estimation as a visual perceptual learning task. To tackle these challenges, a novel visual dataset for friction-related scene understanding was developed through data collection efforts, including participation in Volvo Trucks’ annual winter testing campaigns.The results suggest that the model trained on patch images of surfaces and later fine- tuned on the collected data achieved superior performance in both friction estimation and segmentation, with an intersection over union (IoU) score of 0.92, outperforming other models. The proposed model achieved per-pixel accuracies of 97% and 95% when identifying snow and ice respectively, and root mean squared error (RMSE) errors of 0.04–0.09 when estimating μ values achievable by a truck anti-lock braking system (ABS) on gravel, dry and wet asphalt, snow, and ice surfaces.

description: This work proposes new methods for a microstereotactic frame based on bone cement fixation. Microstereotactic frames are under investigation for minimal invasive temporal bone surgery, e.g. cochlear implantation, or for deep brain stimulation, where products are already on the market. The correct pose of the microstereotactic frame is either adjusted outside or inside the operating room and the frame is used for e.g. drill or electrode guidance. We present a patientspecific, disposable frame that allows intraoperative, sterile pose-setting. Key idea of our approach is bone cement between two plates that cures while the plates are positioned with a mechatronics system in the desired pose. This paper includes new designs of microstereotactic frames, a system for alignment and first measurements to analyze accuracy and applicable load. © 2015 SPIE.

description: When so much has been done in recent years in the collecting, sifting, and categorizing of folk-tales, a tempting task for the student of comparative literature is to devote a book to the Decamerone of Boccaccio, in which each story could be taken as the kernel of an investigation of the particular theme to which it belongs. This would afford an opportunity to show at once Boccaccio's artistic treatment of his material, and the influence of his work as a source of literary inspiration. Such a study would imply a wide first-hand acquaintance with the literature of folk-lore; an equally wide acquaintance with Occidental literature, medieval and modern; and a familiarity with the results of the investigation of a variety of literary problems, to which scholars, in fields as widely removed as Romance, Germanie, Semitic and Sclavic philology have contributed their share.

description: In Alzheimer's disease (AD), cognition and function are only moderately correlated in cross-sectional studies, and studies of their longitudinal association are less common. One potential non-cognitive contributor to function is depression, which has been associated with poorer clinical outcomes. The current study investigated longitudinal associations between functional abilities, cognitive status, and depressive symptoms in AD. 517 patients diagnosed with probable AD and enrolled in The Multicenter Study of Predictors of Disease Course in Alzheimer's Disease were included. Patients were followed at 6-month intervals over 5.5 years. Longitudinal changes in the Blessed Dementia Rating Scale, modified Mini-Mental State Exam, and the depression subscale of the Columbia University Scale for Psychopathology in AD were examined in a multivariate latent growth curve model that controlled for gender, age, education, and recruitment site. Results showed that cognition and function worsened over the study period, whereas depressive symptoms were largely stable. Rates of change in cognition and function were correlated across participants and coupled within participants, indicating that they travel together over time. Worse initial cognitive status was associated with faster subsequent functional decline, and vice versa. Higher level of depressive symptoms was associated with worse initial functioning and faster subsequent cognitive and functional decline. These findings highlight the importance of both cognitive and psychiatric assessment for functional prognosis. Targeting both cognitive and depressive symptoms in the clinical treatment of AD may have incremental benefit on functional abilities.

description: Terpenes represent about half of known natural products, with terpene synthases catalyzing reactions to increase the complexity of substrates and generate cyclizations of the linear diphosphate substrates, therefore forming rings and stereocenters. With their diverse functionality, terpene synthases may be highly evolvable, with the ability to accept a wide range of non-natural compounds and with high product selectivity. Our hypothesis is that directed evolution of terpene synthases can be used to increase selectivity of the synthase on a specific substrate. In the first part of the work presented herein, three natural terpene synthases, Cop2, BcBOT2, and SSCG_02150, were tested for activity against the natural substrate and a non-natural substrate, called Surrogate 1, and the relative activities on both the natural and non-natural substrates were compared. In the second part of this work, a terpene synthase variant of BcBOT2 that has been evolved for thermostability, was used for directed evolution for increased activity and selectivity on the non-natural substrate referred to as Surrogate 2. Mutations for this evolution were introduced using random mutagenesis, with error prone polymerase chain reactions, and using site-specific saturation mutagenesis, in which an NNK library is designed with a specific active site amino acid targeted for mutation. The mutant enzymes were then screened and selected for enhancement of the desired functionality. Two neutral mutants, 19B7 W367F and 19B7 W118Q, were found to maintain activity on Surrogate 2, as measured by the screen.

description: A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a self-motivated wireless network which has no centralized point. It is an independent network that is connected by wireless link so, in which every point or device work as a router. In this network every node forward the packets to the destination as a router and it's not operating as an ending point. In this network every node adjusts them self by on his way in any direction because they are independent and change their position regularly. There are exist three main types of routing protocols which are reactive, proactive and final is hybrid protocols. This whole work compares the performance of some reactive protocols which also known as on - demand protocols, which are DSR, AODV and the final is AOMDV. DSR and AODV are reactive protocols which connected the devices on the network when needed by a doorway. The AOMDV protocol was designed for ad hoc networks whenever any route or link fail and also maintain routes with sequence numbers to avoid looping.

Relaxation Patterns in Supercooled Liquids from Generalized Mode-Coupling Theory

description: The mode-coupling theory of the glass transition treats the dynamics of supercooled liquids in terms of two-point density correlation functions. Here we consider a generalized, hierarchical formulation of schematic mode-coupling equations in which the full basis of multipoint density correlations is taken into account. By varying the parameters that control the effective contributions of higher-order correlations, we show that infinite hierarchies can give rise to both sharp and avoided glass transitions. Moreover, small changes in the form of the coefficients result in different scaling behaviors of the structural relaxation time, providing a means to tune the fragility in glass-forming materials. This demonstrates that the infinite-order construct of generalized mode-coupling theory constitutes a powerful and unifying framework for kinetic theories of the glass transition.

Tschudi, 1838. Classif. Batr.: 35, 76.
 Current name: Tachycnemis seychellensis (Duméril and Bibron, 1841)
Syntype: RMNH 1767, 1 ex. Loc.: “ Seychelles ”. Leg.: F. Péron.
 Remarks. A syntype is MNHNP 4592, according to Roux-Estève (1979: 26). Tschudi (1838: 35) examined several specimens collected by Péron in Seychelles: “Zuerst brachten Péron und Lesueur von Seychelles alte, hernach Quoy und Gaimard junge Exemplare dieser Species angehöriger Thiere von Madagascar ”. Therefore we consider RMNH 1767 as part of the type series of Eucnemis seychellensis Tschudi, 1838.

description: Les Chansons de geste célèbrent un personnage qui, de l'aveu de tous, n'est autre que Richard I, petit-fils de Rollon, fils de Guillaume Longue-Epée, duc de Normandie de 943 à 996. La Chansons de Roland le connaît déjà. C'est lui qui commande, dans la bataille contre Baligant, l'eschiele des Normands:

3044  Naimes li dux et li quens Jozerans.
La quinte eschele unt faite de Normans.
Vint milie sunt, ço dient tuit li Franc.
Armes unt beles et bons cevals curanz;
Ja pur murir cil n'erent recreanz;
Suz ciel n'ad gent ki plus poissent en camp;
Richarz li vielz les guierat el camp:
Cil i ferrat de sun espiet trenchant.

Il n'est pas compté au nombre des douze pairs dans la Chanson de Roland, mais bien dans Gui de Bourgogone, dans Renaut de Montauban, dans Fierabras, etc. Les chansons mêmes qui ne l'admettent pas dans la liste honorée des douze pairs le tiennent du moins pour l'un des principaux barons de Charlemagne, comme il convient au possesseur du beau fief qu'est la Normandie.

description: The following piece is a three movement, twenty minute orchestral work in a Romantic style whose primary goals are accessibility and beauty. In the process of writing this piece, I learned that strong and memorable melodies are the key to a successful composition - taking influence from Henry Mancini and early Japanese video game composers, this work takes a central melodic theme through a series of variations to demonstrate the power of harmonic and orchestrational recontextualization. Rhythmically, the work utilizes techniques from the Minimalist and Progressive Rock traditions to strike a balance between rhythmic complexity and melodic focus. The three movements are meant to represent three steps towards self-actualization - Explore depicts curiosity and open-mindedness, Engage demonstrates the merits of focusing on one's craft, and Wonder represents the value of feeling awe towards the world even if it is not easy or simple. Ultimately, the work moves through a wide variety of moods and textures throughout its duration while staying focused on the central theme until the end, with the goal of creating a listening experience that is both rich and memorable.
