description: We describe an autonomous robotic software subsystem for managing mission execution and discrete traffic interaction in the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. Its role is reviewed in the context of the software system that controls “Boss”, Tartan Racing’s winning entry in the competition. Design criteria are presented, followed by the application of software design principles to derive an architecture well suited to the rigors of developing complex robotic systems. Combined with a discussion of robust behavioral algorithms, the design’s effectiveness is highlighted in its ability to manage complex autonomous driving behaviors while remaining adaptable to the system’s evolving capabilities.

description: This paper proposes a new model for wireless relay networks referred to as "1-2-1 network", where two nodes can communicate only if they point "beams" at each other, while if they do not point beams at each other, no signal can be exchanged or interference can be generated. This model is motivated by millimeter wave communications where, due to the high path loss, a link between two nodes can exist only if beamforming gain at both sides is established, while in the absence of beamforming gain the signal is received well below the thermal noise floor. The main result in this paper is that the 1-2-1 network capacity can be approximated by routing information along at most $2N+2$ paths, where $N$ is the number of relays connecting a source and a destination through an arbitrary topology.

description: Photo album of the Academic Society of Theologians The Academic Society of Theologians was active at the University of Tartu from 1921 to 1940. It united the majority of UT Faculty of Theology’s students and alumni, Estonian clergy of the Lutheran church and all other interested parties across the land. Members of the Society participated in the work of a committee created at the Faculty of Theology and intended for preparing terms in the field of theology. In 1933 to 1940 the Society published the Usuteadusline Ajakiri (Journal on Theology), as well as books. In 1926 to 1940 members participated in registering religious memorials across Estonia. They reviewed the archives and inventory lists of churches. Details of the exterior and interior design, construction materials, time of construction and other important details of church buildings were recorded. Drawings, copies, photographs were made. Inscriptions on tomb stone were copied, drawings were made of the types of funerary markers. The orientation of churches and chapels in view of cardinal points was measured. The Academic Society of Theologians ended its activity in connection to the dissolution of the Faculty of Theology in August 1940. The album that was donated to the museum in 1996 contains 48 photographs mainly from the 1930s. All people in the photographs have been identified.

TraderBots: A New Paradigm for Robust and Efficient Multirobot Coordination in Dynamic Environments

Subjects: subject: 80101 Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The problem of efficient multirobot coordination has risen to the forefront of robotics research in recent years. The wide range of application domains demanding multirobot solutions motivates interest in this problem. In general, multirobot coordination strategies assume either a centralized approach, where a single robot/agent plans for the group, or a distributed approach, where each robot is responsible for its own planning. Inherent to many centralized approaches are difficulties such as intractable solutions for large groups, sluggish response to changes in the local environment, heavy communication requirements, and brittle systems with single points of failure. The key advantage of centralized approaches is that they can produce globally optimal plans. While most distributed approaches can overcome the obstacles inherent to centralized approaches, they can only produce suboptimal plans because they cannot take full advantage of information available to all team members. This work develops TraderBots, a market-based coordination approach that is inherently distributed, but also opportunistically forms centralized sub-groups to improve efficiency. Robots are self-interested agents with the primary goal of maximizing individual profits. The revenue/cost models and rules of engagement are designed so that maximizing individual profit has the benevolent effect of, on average, moving the team toward the globally optimal solution. This approach inherits the flexibility of markets in allowing cooperation and competition to emerge opportunistically. The outlined approach addresses the multirobot coordination problem for autonomous robotic teams executing tasks in dynamic environments where it is highly desirable to produce efficient solutions. This dissertation details the first in-depth study of the applicability of market-based techniques to the multirobot coordination and provides a detailed study of the requirements for robust and efficient multirobot coordination in dynamic environments. Contributions of this dissertation are the first extensive investigation of the application of market-based techniques to multirobot coordination, the most versatile coordinationapproach for dynamic multirobot application domains, the first distributed multirobot coordination-approach that allows opportunistic optimization by “leaders”, the first indepth investigation of the requirements for robust multirobot coordination in dynamic environments, the most extensively implemented market-based multirobot coordination approach, and the first systematic comparative analysis of multirobot coordination approaches implemented on a robot team.

fluctuating selection

description: Antibiotic resistance evolves rapidly in response to drug selection, but it can also persist at appreciable levels even after the removal of the antibiotic. This suggests that many resistant strains can both be resistant and have high fitness in the absence of antibiotics. To explore the conditions under which high-fitness, resistant strains evolve and the genetic changes responsible, we used a combination of experimental evolution and whole-genome sequencing to track the acquisition of ciprofloxacin resistance in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa under conditions of constant and fluctuating antibiotic delivery patterns. We found that high-fitness, resistant strains evolved readily under fluctuating but not constant antibiotic conditions and that their evolution was underlain by a trade-off between resistance and fitness. Whole-genome sequencing of evolved isolates revealed that resistance was gained through mutations in known resistance genes and that second-site mutations generally compensated for costs associated with resistance in the fluctuating treatment, leading to the evolution of cost-free resistance. Our results suggest that current therapies involving intermittent administration of antibiotics are contributing to the maintenance of antibiotic resistance at high levels in clinical settings. IMPORTANCE Antibiotic resistance is a global problem that greatly impacts human health. How resistance persists, even in the absence of antibiotic treatment, is thus a public health problem of utmost importance. In this study, we explored the antibiotic treatment conditions under which cost-free resistance arises, using experimental evolution of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the quinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin. We found that intermittent antibiotic treatment led to the evolution of cost-free resistance and demonstrate that compensatory evolution is the mechanism responsible for cost-free resistance. Our results suggest that discontinuous administration of antibiotic may be contributing to the high levels of antibiotic resistance currently found worldwide.

description: Shear-thinning viscosity is a non-Newtonian behaviour that active particles often encounter in biological fluids such as blood and mucus. The fundamental question of how this ubiquitous non-Newtonian rheology affects the propulsion of active particles has attracted substantial interest. In particular, spherical Janus particles driven by self-diffusiophresis, a major physico-chemical propulsion mechanism of synthetic active particles, were shown to always swim slower in a shear-thinning fluid than in a Newtonian fluid. In this work, we move beyond the spherical limit to examine the effect of particle eccentricity on self-diffusiophoretic propulsion in a shear-thinning fluid. We use a combination of asymptotic analysis and numerical simulations to show that shear-thinning rheology can enhance self-diffusiophoretic propulsion of a spheroidal particle, in stark contrast to previous findings for the spherical case. A systematic characterization of the dependence of the propulsion speed on the particle's active surface coverage has also uncovered an intriguing feature associated with the propulsion speeds of a pair of complementarily coated particles not previously reported. Symmetry arguments are presented to elucidate how this new feature emerges as a combined effect of anisotropy of the spheroidal geometry and nonlinearity in fluid rheology.

title: Evolution of CALIFA: From single detector modules to benchmark reactions
Creators: name: Hartig, Anna-Lena
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: As one of the key detectors of the R3B setup (Reactions with Radioactive Relativistic Beams) at FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research), the CALIFA (CALorimeter for the In Flight detection of γ rays and light charged pArticles) detector array surrounds the reaction target and measures γ rays with energies of 100keV < E_γ < 30MeV as well as light charged particles up to E particle = 700MeV. The entire array will consist of 1952 CsI(Tl) scintillating crystals in the Barrel and 460 crystals in the Endcap part. Each crystal is read-out by a Large Area Avalanche Photo Diode. To match the requirements, several steps, tests and quality assurance procedures have to be fulfilled in order to provide the basic components of the CALIFA array. This work gives a detailed description of the assembly of 120 Endcap detector-units and the equipment of two Endcap segments. Furthermore, a gain-matching procedure is performed on the two Endcap segments and their energy resolution is compared to additional test results on the same crystals and to test data stemming from Barrel detectors. A benchmark experiment was performed at the Bronowice Cyclotron Center in Kraków using the quasi-free scattering reaction 208Pb(p,2p)207 Tl in direct kinematics. Within the scope of the experiment, a monoenergetic proton beam of E beam = 200 MeV impinged on a 208 Pb target and the outgoing protons and γ rays were detected by 3 CALIFA petals, containing 64 crystals each. Additionally, two DSSSDs (Double Sided Silicon Strip Detectors) were used to enable vertex reconstruction. The entire setup was read-out by the CALIFA DAQ and operated in air. As proof of concept, two known γ transitions in 207Tl could be identified studying the reaction 208Pb(p,2p)207Tl. In coincidence with one proton, the transition from the 11/2− state, with a lifetime of 1.33s, could be observed. Furthermore, it could be shown in this work that the coincident measurement of the two outgoing protons together with the γ ray, stemming from the transition of the 5/2+ state to the 3/2+ state in 207Tl, is feasible. For use at FAIR, the performance of the CsI(Tl) detectors matches the requirements of CALIFA. The conducted experiment is the first successful measurement of a (p,2pγ) reaction for such heavy nuclei and therefore was a good test case for experiments planned at FAIR that will investigate nuclei in the third r-process peak.

Depth-constrained Feature-based Stitching System for Stereoscopic Panoramic Video Generation
Creators: name: Wang, Haoyu
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019

description: The thesis presents one feature-based stitching system for high-quality stereoscopic panoramic video generation. Although panorama stitching is a well-studied topic, and various algorithms and software are available to create high-quality monocular panoramas, generalizing those methods for both stereo and video modes is not an easy task. One satisfying output of the stitching system needs to meet several requirements in different senses. For every single frame, the output monocular-view panorama should have minimal spatial stitching errors or distortion. For every pair of output stereoscopic panorama, no vertical disparity can be perceived, and the horizontal disparity should be appropriately distributed across the scenario. For the output video, discontinuities, such as shakiness or abrupt changes of depth between consecutive frames, are not desired.

The main contribution of our work consists of the definition of depth-constrained feature in stitching framework, the introduction of human-visual interest to control point refinement, and the post-stitching correction of the artifact and depth anomaly. First, the stitching, based on the proposed depth-constrained feature, can ensure fewer visible artifacts in the generated monocular panorama and better stereo consistency between the left and right views. Furthermore, we utilize human visual sensitivity to refine and qualify the input control points and tracking results of the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi tracker in the video sequences. Finally, the pixel-based monocular geometric correction and feature-based depth control enable us to minimize all the visible stitching errors and adjust the perceived depth from the stereoscopic panoramic video into one reasonable range.
Do bilateral agreements help to improve the environmental behavior of Canadian firms in oil and mining producing countries: an investigation of Latin America
Creators: name: Bonilla Macias, Diana Maria
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Over the past decades, bilateral and multilateral environmental agreements have contributed to positive and progressive economic, social and environmental changes in the international community, however those agreements have yielded modest results because they appear to be increasingly slow and polarized, because countries face very different issues. This paper will attempt to identify whether free trade agreements (FTA’s) really help to improve the environmental performance of Canadian oil and mining firms working in Latin America, analyzing to what extent firms achieve environmental compliance of these agreements in the region. First, a brief history of Canada’s commitment in Latin America and an overview of Canada’s current environmental policy will be presented. After that, this present paper will then consider the different viewpoints found in the related literature on whether countries are interdependent to each other especially after FTAs are ratified, concluding with some recommendations for the compliance of the regulations. Keywords: Free Trade Agreements, oil sector, mining sector, interdependence, Canada, Latin America, Global Governance.

description: In this technical report, we propose a framework for utilizing fixed, ultra-wideband ranging radio nodes to track a moving target node through walls in a cluttered environment. We examine both the case where the locations of the fixed nodes are known as well as the case where they are unknown. For the case when the fixed node locations are known, we derive a Bayesian room-level tracking method that takes advantage of the structural characteristics of the environment to ensure robustness to noise. We also develop a method using mixtures of Gaussians to model the noise characteristics of the radios. For the case of unknown fixed node locations, we present a twostep approach that first reconstructs the target node’s path and then uses that path to determine the locations of the fixed nodes. We reconstruct the path by projecting down from a higher-dimensional measurement space to the 2D environment space using non-linear dimensionality reduction with Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models (GPLVMs). We then utilize the reconstructed path to map the locations of the fixed nodes using a Bayesian occupancy grid. We present experimental results verifying our algorithm in an office environment, and we compare our results to those generated by methods using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) SLAM and odometry mapping. Our algorithm is successful at tracking a moving target node and mapping the locations of fixed nodes using radio ranging data that are both noisy and intermittent.
Extracellular Glycolytic Activities in Root Endophytic Serendipitaceae and Their Regulation by Plant Sugars

description: Endophytic fungi that colonize the plant root live in an environment with relative high concentrations of different sugars. Analyses of genome sequences indicate that such endophytes can secrete carbohydrate-related enzymes to compete for these sugars with the surrounding plant cells. We hypothesized that typical plant sugars can be used as carbon source by root endophytes and that these sugars also serve as signals to induce the expression and secretion of glycolytic enzymes. The plant-growth-promoting endophytes Serendipita indica and Serendipita herbamans were selected to first determine which sugars promote their growth and biomass formation. Secondly, particular sugars were added to liquid cultures of the fungi to induce intracellular and extracellular enzymatic activities which were measured in mycelia and culture supernatants. The results showed that both fungi cannot feed on melibiose and lactose, but instead use glucose, fructose, sucrose, mannose, arabinose, galactose and xylose as carbohydrate sources. These sugars regulated the cytoplasmic activity of glycolytic enzymes and also their secretion. The levels of induction or repression depended on the type of sugars added to the cultures and differed between the two fungi. Since no conventional signal peptide could be detected in most of the genome sequences encoding the glycolytic enzymes, a non-conventional protein secretory pathway is assumed. The results of the study suggest that root endophytic fungi translocate glycolytic activities into the root, and this process is regulated by the availability of particular plant sugars.

Performance of Cross-Border Acquisitions: Empirical Evidence From Canadian Firms Acquired by Emerging Countries
Creators: name: Zhou, Yang
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: An Increasing number of enterprises from the emerging market countries have become active in cross-border acquisition activities since 2000. Canada is influenced by this emerging countries M&As (mergers and acquisitions) wave. More and more Canadian firms are acquired by emerging country investors so it is necessary to conduct a study on the performance of these M&As. Using the short-term window event study, I analyze security prices of Canadian listed firms acquired by emerging countries from 2000 to 2016. After calculating the abnormal return and cumulative abnormal return of target firms. I find that the abnormal return on the event day is about + 10.3% and the cumulative abnormal return for 11 days is about +10.55%. The finding indicates that in the short term, the performance of Canadian firms which are acquired by emerging countries is positive. Technology and mineral firms have significantly positive abnormal return on day 0 while energy firms only have small abnormal return at the same time.

description: The article explores some aspects of the creation of the Estonian nationality based on a number of examples mainly from the history of the University of Tartu. Heinrich Rosenthal (1846–1916) and Feliks Urban (1913–2008) were chosen for analysis as personified chronological milestones. Rosenthal was among the founders of the Estonian Students’ Society in 1870 but he was born in a German-speaking family. In his memoirs Kulturbestrebungen des estnischen Volkes während eines Menschenalters (1869–1890) published in 1912 he tried, among others things, to define the identity of an Estonian whose native tongue was German, like himself and many of his contemporaries. During the interwar period there were many students at the University of Tartu whose nationality was changed from German to Estonian in the university matriculation book. Feliks Urban, matriculated in 1937, was the last of them.

description: We show that certain orderable groups admit no isolated left orders. The groups we consider are cyclic amalgamations of a free group with a general orderable group, the HNN extensions of free groups over cyclic subgroups, and a particular class of one-relator groups. In order to prove the results about orders, we develop perturbation techniques for actions of these groups on the line.

description: We propose a novel step toward the unsupervised segmentation of whole objects by combining “hints” of partial scene segmentation offered by multiple soft, binary mattes. These mattes are implied by a set of hypothesized object boundary fragments in the scene. Rather than trying to find or define a single “best” segmentation, we generate multiple segmentations of an image. This reflects contemporary methods for unsupervised object discovery from groups of images, and it allows us to define intuitive evaluation metrics for our sets of segmentations based on the accurate and parsimonious delineation of scene objects. Our proposed approach builds on recent advances in spectral clustering, image matting, and boundary detection. It is demonstrated qualitatively and quantitatively on a dataset of scenes and is suitable for current work in unsupervised object discovery without top-down knowledge.
Omad ja võõrad "Eesti mõtteloo" taustal

description: Our own and alien in the context of the Estonian history of thought In order to introduce the wider context of the article, the author firstly refers back to his text Uitamisi Eesti mõtteloos (Wanderings in the Estonian history of thought) that was published in the 2014 collection Rahvusvahelised rahvusteadused (International ethno-national sciences). The dilemma of our own and alien that arose quite early in the Estonian history of thought can be noted already in the title of the essay collection Omad ja võõrad (1927) (Our own and alien) by Bernhard Linde; a possible solution to the issue was also offered in the collection. In 1921 when Eino Leino first visited Estonia, he said “It seems as if I have arrived home.” The alien is our own. The author describes an aspect of his personal “history”—he approached this problem in a new context and found quite the opposite solution when he wrote under the pen name of I. Ronicus. On the basis of the Explanatory Dictionary of Written Estonian, which includes material both from spoken language and literature in its widest sense, the author will analyse and explore the issue of belonging and being alien also from the philosophical perspective, first and foremost phenomenologically according to E. Husserl’s views. The author also analyses the dilemma of our own and alien in the context of the book series History of Estonian Thought in the form of several sub-dilemmas. For example, the series features several authors who could be considered alien in the conventional meaning—i.e., they were not Estonian or did not speak Estonian or at least did not write all works that are included in the volumes of the series or a large part of them in Estonian. If one claims that even though all authors are one’s own in the solipsistic sense of E. Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology, the emerging question is rather how we approach the relationship of our own and alien from the perspective of the list that was mentioned before. The external practical and pragmatic solution is that all authors and their works have a “biographical” connection to Estonia. Through this, they belong to our Estonian world, albeit some have stronger and some weaker connections to it. The“internal”, essential problem related to some authors not mentioned here is, however, more complicated. The author offers a solution to this as well based on the example of the conflict between Jaan Tõnisson and Ado Grenzstein—according to him, both undoubtedly belonged to the historical discourse of the Estonian history of thought.

description: Background: Unhealthy food marketing is considered a contributor to childhood obesity. In Canada, food marketing in schools is mostly self-regulated by industry though it is sometimes restricted through provincial school policies. The purpose of this study was to document the type of food marketing activities occurring in Canadian schools and examine differences by school characteristics. Methods: An online survey was sent to public primary and secondary schools from 27 school boards in Ontario, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia and was completed by 154 Principals in spring 2016. This survey queried the type of food marketing occurring in schools including advertisements, food product displays, fundraising, exclusive marketing agreements, and incentive programs, among others. The occurrence of food marketing was described using frequencies, medians, and ranges. Chi-square and Fisher Exact tests were conducted to assess school-level differences in the frequency of marketing activities by school type (primary versus secondary), province (Ontario versus British Columbia), and the socio-economic status of most students (low versus middle/high income). The significance level was set at α < 0.05 for all tests. Results: Overall, 84% of schools reported at least one type of food marketing and the median number of distinct types of marketing per school was 1 (range 0–6). The most frequently reported forms of marketing were the sale of branded food, particularly chocolate, pizza, and other fast food, for fundraising (64% of schools); food advertisements on school property (26%), and participation in incentive programs (18%). Primary schools (n = 108) were more likely to report participating in incentive programs (25%) and selling branded food items (72%) compared to secondary schools (n = 46; 2 and 43% respectively; p < 0.01). Conversely, secondary schools were more likely to report food advertising on school property (56%), exclusive marketing arrangements with food companies (43%), and food product displays (19%) than primary schools (13, 5 and 2%, respectively; p < 0.01). Conclusion: The presence of food marketing in most participating schools suggests that the current patchwork of policies that restrict food marketing in Canadian schools is inadequate. Comprehensive restrictions should be mandated by government in both primary and secondary schools to protect children and youth from this marketing.

description: The first gravitational-wave event from the merger of a binary neutron star system (GW170817) was detected recently. The associated short gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) has a low isotropic luminosity ($\sim 10^{47}$ erg s$ ^{-1}$) and a peak energy $E_{p}\sim 145$ keV during the initial main emission between -0.3 and 0.4 s. The origin of this short GRB is still under debate, but a plausible interpretation is that it is due to the off-axis emission from a structured jet. We consider two possibilities. First, since the best-fit spectral model for the main pulse of GRB 170817A is a cutoff power law with a hard low-energy photon index ($α=-0.62_{-0.54}^{+0.49} $), we consider an off-axis photosphere model. We develop a theory of photosphere emission in a structured jet and find that such a model can reproduce a low-energy photon index that is softer than a blackbody through enhancing high-latitude emission. The model can naturally account for the observed spectrum. The best-fit Lorentz factor along the line of sight is $\sim 20$, which demands that there is a significant delay between the merger and jet launching. Alternatively, we consider that the emission is produced via synchrotron radiation in an optically thin region in an expanding jet with decreasing magnetic fields. This model does not require a delay of jet launching but demands a larger bulk Lorentz factor along the line of sight. We perform Markov Chain Monte Carlo fitting to the data within the framework of both models and obtain good fitting results in both cases.

description: The hot streak, loosely defined as winning begets more winnings, highlights a specific period during which an individual's performance is substantially higher than her typical performance. While widely debated in sports, gambling, and financial markets over the past several decades, little is known if hot streaks apply to individual careers. Here, building on rich literature on lifecycle of creativity, we collected large-scale career histories of individual artists, movie directors and scientists, tracing the artworks, movies, and scientific publications they produced. We find that, across all three domains, hit works within a career show a high degree of temporal regularity, each career being characterized by bursts of high-impact works occurring in sequence. We demonstrate that these observations can be explained by a simple hot-streak model we developed, allowing us to probe quantitatively the hot streak phenomenon governing individual careers, which we find to be remarkably universal across diverse domains we analyzed: The hot streaks are ubiquitous yet unique across different careers. While the vast majority of individuals have at least one hot streak, hot streaks are most likely to occur only once. The hot streak emerges randomly within an individual's sequence of works, is temporally localized, and is unassociated with any detectable change in productivity. We show that, since works produced during hot streaks garner significantly more impact, the uncovered hot streaks fundamentally drives the collective impact of an individual, ignoring which leads us to systematically over- or under-estimate the future impact of a career. These results not only deepen our quantitative understanding of patterns governing individual ingenuity and success, they may also have implications for decisions and policies involving predicting and nurturing individuals with lasting impact.
