description: Die Verhältnisse haben sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten nicht zum Besseren gewendet, vielmehr sind sie dazu angetan, dass auch der Wissenschaft wie der Politik angesichts der vielen Krisen Hören und Sehen vergehen. So aber kann Zukunft weder gut gedacht noch nachhaltig gestaltet werden. Mit Maria Mies analytisch und visionär weiterdenken heißt dagegen, den Kopf nicht in den Sand zu stecken und das Handeln nicht den Sachzwängen zu unterwerfen.

Mit der KI-VO will die EU zur Innovationsförderung KI-Reallabore einführen. Art. 54 KI-VO-E enthält eine Ausnahmeregelung zum elementaren Zweckbindungsgrundsatz der DSGVO, um das Trainieren von KI mit personenbezogenen Daten zu erleichtern. Gleichzeitig wurde die Vorschrift mit der Intention geschaffen, Art. 6 Abs. 4 DSGVO gerecht zu werden, der Vorgaben für Gesetze, die eine Zweckänderung zulassen wollen, enthält. Aufgrund seines privilegierten Anwendungsbereichs und den umfangreichen Schutzanforderungen entspricht Art. 54 KI-VO-E zwar den Anforderungen aus Art. 6 Abs. 4 i. V. m. Art. 23 DSGVO trägt aber nur sehr eingeschränkt zur Innovation in diesem Bereich bei.

description: We study the radio spectrum of PSR B1259-63 orbiting around the Be star LS 2883 and show that the shape of the spectrum depends on the orbital phase. At frequencies below 3 GHz PSR B1259-63 flux densities are lower when measured near the periastron passage than those measured far from periastron. We suggest that an interaction of the radio waves with the Be star environment accounts for this effect. While it is quite natural to explain the pulsar eclipse by the presence of an equatorial disk around LS 2883, this disk alone cannot be responsible for the observed spectral evolution of PSR B1259-63 and we, therefore, propose a qualitative model which explains this evolution. We consider two mechanisms that might influence the observed radio emission: free-free absorption and cyclotron resonance. We believe that this binary system can hold the clue to the understanding of gigahertz-peaked spectra of pulsars.

description: Extended Reality (XR) is seeing a massive rise in interest for the use in educational contexts, with a number of studies pointing out the beneficial effects on learning outcome when using immersive XR platforms, compared to classic educational approaches. However, since the necessary hardware has only recently become more accessible and consumer-level XR is just now beginning to push towards more widespread use, these technologies have not yet fully arrived in everyday university teaching. In this work, we will explore how modern XR technologies can be utilized to create new types of gaining knowledge and investigate how they can enhance the learning experience in actual everyday university practice. To this end, we entered into a cooperation with a chair of physics education (LMU) and developed an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) application for their optical physics lab course for students of human medicine. A usability study with a small number of participants yielded a very strong System Usability Score of 82.52, indicating that the resulting application is easy to use and highly accessible, even to users without prior VR experience and putting it in a great spot to be used in future university teaching.

description: New methods for identifying individuals based on their digital skeleton (rig) gain attention in digital forensics. To ensure a solid comparison, understanding the development of this digital skeleton is crucial. One approach is manually creating a rig using a parametrized 3D room and cameras with embedded pictures, capturing multiple angles of the same person with markers on defined spots. Using these pictures and the room, a movable marker-based rig can be built in software like Blender (https://www.blender.org). It can be used to fit the rigged doll into another scene or compare proportions. For a similar process, algorithm-based software like OpenPose (https://github.com/CMU- Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose) estimates a digital skeleton from pictures or videos. The output includes JSON files with joint coordinates and pictures with embedded skeletons, which can manually be processsed into a rig. While these procedure can save time and expand applications, precision and supervision differ from marker-based rigs. A comparative study assessing similarity is discussed in the following paper.

description: Digital forensics has many properties of evidence, which need to be defined formally. The goal of this paper is to formalize the properties of evidence with the application of digital forensics. The contribution is a discussion of the current definitions of volatility and manipulability. The analysis starts the discussion on the application of those concepts to the application of ontological definitions to digital forensics. With that, we want to discuss the trust and the need to understand complex AI models.
An observational study of slope air and free air wintertime temperatures in Whistler Valley, British Columbia, Canada
Creators: name: Erven, Lisa N.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Temperature structure within complex terrain is fundamental to determining stability, thermally-induced circulations, and mountain weather, all of which impact those living, working, and recreating within it, as well as those external to it that depend on water from snowmelt. While numerous studies and text books outline many factors affecting slope air and free air temperatures, the interactions of these factors with the complex terrain makes predictability of temperature structures very difficult. This is further compounded by sparse observational data that has limited representativeness due to numerous localized effects. In preparation for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, temperature sensors were placed along the west slope of Whistler Mountain, and radiosondes were launched twice daily, creating a rare opportunity to investigate slope and free air temperature structure and evolution within a mountain valley. Daytime and nighttime temperature profiles are categorized by cloud cover, and very consistent lapse rates are found within categories. Profiles are compared for slope and free air within each category, and between categories. Case studies provide further detail in describing temperature structure evolution. Clear days give rise to the least uniform slope air temperature structure, but a consistent, fairly representative, linear lapse rate is nonetheless found. Overcast conditions effectively eliminate microclimates, producing a relatively linear slope air temperature structure. Additionally, consistent free air lapse rates are defined for each cloud cover category. While the majority of slope and free air lapse rates are statistically indistinguishable, significant slope-free air temperature differences still exist. Lastly, linear regression is used to develop an equation that successfully determines slope air temperatures from a given free air temperature, or vice versa. Together with the representative lapse rates, one is able to construct slope and free air temperature profiles given a single slope or free air temperature measurement. These results show that by separating profiles by weather condition, consistent temperature structures and relations can be extracted from a seemingly incoherent collection of complex mountain slope and free air profiles. In doing this, it becomes feasible to accurately predict these profiles, providing great utility to those impacted by mountain temperatures.

In addition to the previously reported ferromagnetic ordering of the cobalt sub-lattice at T_C = 136 K we find a magnetic transition below T_M = 5 K that is likely associated with ordering of the Yb ions. The broad nature of the specific heat anomaly suggests disordered magnetism and possible short range correlations well above T_M.

Modeling and Implementation of Perfect Electric Conductor Interfaces on Three-Dimensional Lebedev Grid in Presence of Anisotropy
Creators: name: Bordbar, Farzad
Publisher: name: Schulich School of Engineering
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Engineering--Electronics and Electrical

description: Simulation is an integral part of the design procedure for almost every electromagnetic problem. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method has proved to be useful in solving a variety of these problems over the last 50 years. However, most of the body of research is limited to materials that are either isotropic or have diagonal constitutive parameters (diagonal anisotropy). There is another class of materials called anisotropic media that provide unique and useful electromagnetic properties at microwave frequencies. Standard FDTD method lacks efficiency in modeling anisotropic materials due to tensor constitutive relations. The Lebedev grid as an alternative method was previously studied and developed by researchers for the simulation of anisotropy by representing the constitutive relations more efficiently in anisotropic materials. However, previous works on implementation of perfect electric conductor boundaries in the presence of anisotropy are either inaccurate or incomplete. In this thesis, FDTD is discretized on Lebedev grid using central differences. Then, an accurate method based on integral forms of Maxwell’s equations is proposed to implement perfect electric boundaries on this grid. The accuracy and stability of the method is put to the test by simulating several electromagnetic problems and comparing the results with analytical and HFSS simulation data. Excellent agreement between proposed method and HFSS results is obtained for a variety of three-dimensional anisotropic cavity resonators.

Subjects: subject: 572

description: This study aimed to use LC-MS-based discovery proteomic approaches to: (1) identify the A. thaliana nuclear proteome, (2) investigate the nuclear proteome under biotic stress stimuli, (3) investigate nuclear import including dual targeted proteins and shuttling from other compartments. In order to achieve the aim two main approaches were used. The first one was based on a nuclei isolation technique from A. thaliana cell culture and the second one utilized proximity dependent labelling. The two approaches produced high quality catalogs of about 3000 nuclear proteins under control and PTI conditions including newly identified nuclear proteins. First steps were taken to investigate protein import into the nucleus and dual targeted candidate proteins trafficked from other organelles under PTI and found 178 and 73 proteins to possibly be imported into the nucleus upon stimulus with flg22 and nlp20, respectively. In addition, the abundance of 115 proteins changed significantly in the nucleus following elicitation of immunity. These results suggests a functional role of hundreds of proteins in the nucleus during PTI.

description: We have collected a large-scale corpus of electronic articles in the cardiology domain (85 million+ words) in the framework of a digital library project that tailors the presentation of online medical literature to both patients and healthcare providers. We describe the webbased and XML technologies we used for the collection, encoding and linguistic processing of the corpus. This resulted in a largescale, high-quality, thoroughly marked-up resource which is used by many researchers in our project, in the areas of natural language processing, information retrieval and medical informatics. We show how the final use of the resource has influenced the design of its structural and linguistic encoding. The procedure we describe is general enough to be of use to researchers in a similar position wishing to compile, encode and linguistically annotate their own corpus from the web.
Trade-off between quantum and thermal fluctuations in mirror coatings yields improved sensitivity of gravitational-wave interferometers

description: We propose a simple way to improve the laser gravitational-wave detectors sensitivity by means of reduction of the number of reflective coating layers of the core optics mirrors. This effects in the proportional decrease of the coating thermal noise, the most notorious among the interferometers technical noise sources. The price for this is the increased quantum noise, as well as high requirements for the pump laser power and power at the beamsplitter. However, as far as these processes depend differently on the coating thickness, we demonstrate that a certain trade-off is possible, yielding a 20-30% gain (for diverse gravitational wave signal types and interferometer configurations), providing that feasible values of laser power and power on the beamsplitter are assumed.

A component-based probabilistic weather forecasting system for operational usage
Creators: name: Nipen, Thomas N.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This dissertation presents a probabilistic weather prediction system for operational (real-time) usage. The proposed system provides complete probability distributions for both continuous weather variables, such as temperature, and mixed discrete-continuous variables like precipitation accumulations. The proposed system decomposes the process of generating probabilistic forecasts into a series of sequential steps, each of which is important in the overall goal of providing probabilistic forecasts of high quality. Starting with an ensemble of input predictors generated by numerical weather prediction models, the system uses the following four components: 1) correction; 2) uncertainty modeling; 3) calibration; and 4) updating. The correction component bias-corrects the input predictors. The uncertainty model converts these predictors into a suitable probability distribution. The calibration component improves this distribution by removing any distributional bias. The update component further improves the forecast by incorporating recently made observations of the true state. The system is designed to be modular. Namely, different implementations of each component can be used interchangeably with any combination of implementations for the other components. This allows future research into probabilistic forecasting to be focused on any one component and also allows new methods to be easily incorporated into the system. The system uses a number of existing correction and uncertainty models, but the dissertation also presents two new methods: Firstly, a new method for calibrating probabilistic forecasts is created. This method is shown to improve probabilistic forecasts that exhibit distributional bias. Secondly, a new method for incorporating recently made observations to existing probabilistic forecasts is developed. The system and its components are tested using meteorological data from daily operational runs of ensemble numerical weather prediction models and their verifying observations from surface weather stations in North America. Each component's contribution to overall forecast quality is analysed.

description: At the Industrial Environmental Informatics Unit (HTW Berlin), a test integration for a future ’Green Coding’ course was developed to implement the concept of environmentally conscious and energy-efficient software development. The course titled ”Current Development Trends in Environmental Informatics” now educates students on fundamental concepts and techniques in this field. The course emphasizes the development of software that is both energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Students learn how to optimize software applications’ energy efficiency by designing energy-efficient algorithms and enhancing server and data center performance. The course covers essential principles of ’Green IT’ and explores the ’Green Coding’ sub-field. The course is divided into three modular parts: internal lectures, external lectures, and a practical part to manifest the theoretical knowledge. The content of the internal lectures was significantly influenced by the current state of research regarding ’Green IT’ at the Industrial Environmental Informatics Unit of the HTW Berlin, in which current and past master theses, papers, and publications were presented. Current known German ’Green Coding’ researchers were invited for external lectures, partly on-site and online. A practical measurement course lasting several days, which provided the students with several test setups according to the ”Blue Angel for software products” standard to pursue their research questions, was created to deepen their knowledge. The following article presents and discusses the topics and results of these short papers and evaluations of the course concept and the course itself.

description: We study the local height probabilities in a composite height model, derived from the restricted solid-on-solid model introduced by Andrews, Baxter and Forrester, and their connection with conformal field theory characters. The obtained conformal field theories also describe the critical behavior of the model at two different critical points. In addition, at criticality, the model is equivalent to a one-dimensional chain of anyons, subject to competing two- and three-body interactions. The anyonic-chain interpretation provided the original motivation to introduce the composite height model, and by obtaining the critical behaviour of the composite height model, the critical behaviour of the anyonic chains is established as well. Depending on the overall sign of the hamiltonian, this critical behaviour is described by a diagonal coset-model, generalizing the minimal models for one sign, and by Fateev-Zamolodchikov parafermions for the other.

description: Im Zusammenhang mit Straftaten gegen die sexuelle Selbstbestimmung (§§ 174 - 184) kommt es üblicherweise zu einer Auswertung von digitalen Beweismitteln. Diese Datenmengen wachsen stetig. Durch die Zusammenführung aller verfügbaren Daten innerhalb des Verfahrens ergeben sich neue Chancen, um weitere Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen. Bei der Analyse von Datenträgern werden vorwiegend multimediale Inhalte wie Bilder, Videos und Chatnachrichten ausgewertet und in einem Gutachten verschriftlicht. Oftmals stellt sich die Frage, wie hoch das Gefährdungspotenzial durch den Beschuldigten ist. Bei der Begutachtung von Sexualstraftätern werden Risikoanalysen durchgeführt. Aus welchen Elementen der verfügbaren digitalen Daten können bei der Risikobewertung von Sexualstraftätern Schlüsse gezogen werden und ergeben sich dabei weitere Möglichkeiten der Risikobewertung? Kann ein Täterprofil bei hinreichender Nutzeridentifizierung (Täter = Nutzer) auf Basis der verfügbaren digitalen Daten automatisiert erstellt werden, und welche spezifischen Informationen sind dafür relevant? Welche gesetzlichen und technischen Einschränkungen müssen bei der Beantwortung dieser Fragen beachtet werden, und welche Risiken sind damit verbunden?

description: Seit der erstmaligen Erwähnung von Flüssigkristallen im Jahr 1888 hat sich das Forschungsgebiet aufgrund der Nachfrage von LC-Displays über das gesteigerte Interesse an 3D-selbstorganisierten komplexeren Systemen für organische Halbleiter bedeutend entwickelt. Die bikontinuierlichen kubischen Phasen mit ihren dreidimensional geordneten Netzwerken könnten dafür ein Schlüsselfaktor sein. Dazu wurden neue polycatenare Thiophen- und Benzil-basierte Mesogene synthetisiert, welche thermotrope flüssigkristalline Phasen bilden. Die stäbchenförmigen Moleküle wurden modifiziert, indem die Länge der Kerneinheiten, die Anzahl der flexiblen Ketten, Elektronendonatoren und -akzeptoren oder eine Vielzahl von aromatischen Ringen variiert wurden. Die Substanzen konnten lamellare, kolumnare und dreidimensionale flüssigkristalline Phasen bilden. Die Charakterisierungen der Mesophasen wurden unter Verwendung von Polarisationsmikroskopie, Differentialkalorimetrie und Röntgenbeugung durchgeführt.
description: Since the first mention of liquid crystals in 1888, the research field has developed significantly due to the demand of LC display over the increased interest in 3D self-assembled more complex systems for organic semiconductors. The bicontinuous cubic phases with their three-dimensional ordered networks may be a key factor to accomplish these tasks. For this aim new polycatenar thiophene- and benzil-based mesogens which are able to form thermotropic liquid crystalline phases were synthesized. These rod-like molecules were modified by changing the length of their core units, number of flexible chains, introducing electron donors and acceptors or a variety of aromatic rings. These substances were able the form lamellar, columnar and three-dimensional liquid crystalline phases. Characterizations of the mesophases were performed by using polarization microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and XRD-diffraction.

description: We summarize radio and optical SETI programs based at the University of California, Berkeley. The SEVENDIP optical pulse search looks for ns time scale pulses at visible wavelengths using an automated 30 inch telescope. The ongoing SERENDIP V.v sky survey searches for radio signals at the 300 meter Arecibo Observatory. The currently installed configuration supports 128 million channels over a 200 MHz bandwidth with ~1.6 Hz spectral resolution. SETI@home uses the desktop computers of volunteers to analyze over 160 TB of data at taken at Arecibo looking for two types of continuous wave signals and two types of pulsed signals. A version to be released this summer adds autocorrelation analysis to look for complex wave forms that have been repeated (and overlayed) after a short delay. SETI@home will soon be processing data of Kepler exoplanet systems collected at the GBT. The Astropulse project is the first SETI search for $μ$s time scale dispersed pulses in the radio spectrum. We recently reobserved 114 sky locations where microsecond pulses were detected. This data is in process of being transferred to Berkeley for analysis.

description: Jean Norton Cru did not consider himself a historian. Yet his life’s work, ''Témoins ''(Witnesses), written for historians, is an exceptional book of historiography of 1914 to 1918 and a pioneering reflection on the testimony of social actors at that time. Cru was a maverick who was uncompromising towards those people with an established reputation. He sparked heated debates.

description: In this paper we examine the general theory of continuous frame multipliers in Hilbert space. These operators are a generalization of the widely used notion of (discrete) frame multipliers. Well-known examples include Anti-Wick operators, STFT multipliers or Calderón- Toeplitz operators. Due to the possible peculiarities of the underlying measure spaces, continuous frames do not behave quite as well as their discrete counterparts. Nonetheless, many results similar to the discrete case are proven for continuous frame multipliers as well, for instance compactness and Schatten class properties. Furthermore, the concepts of controlled and weighted frames are transferred to the continuous setting.

description: The effect of humanity on the earth becomes more and more apparent. Besides the publicly discussed climate change and overpopulation, also the number of conflicts with wildlife increases. The technological progress of the past years helped to understand these challenges better. Monitoring solutions, known to the public as the Internet of Things (IoT), increase the amount of collected data, whereas artificial intelligence (AI) supports analyzing and gathering a deeper understanding. Most projects in the area of wildlife try to achieve a more sustainable usage of natural resources and a better coexistence with our environment. The mAInZaun project focuses on the conflict between wolves and livestock. It aims to introduce these new technologies into grazing management and foster non-lethally coexistence between livestock and predators. Artificial intelligence (AI) analyzes images and videos of the areas surrounding the pasture. The algorithms detect possible attackers or predators, such as wolves, stray dogs, bobcats, etc. In the second step, these animals are scared away using adaptive technologies. These can be sound, ultrasound, scent, light, etc. These systems are usually operated in remote environments, raising challenges like hardware design, power requirements, and maintenance. This paper will discuss these challenges and how we address them in the mAInZaun project.
