description: Große Flächen in Deutschland wurden durch Bergbau in Anspruch genommen. Ein Beispiel hierfür sind die zahlreichen Braunkohletagebaue, welche aufgrund des Ausstieges aus der Kohleverstromung bereits jetzt oder bald nicht mehr aktiv betrieben werden. Die Sanierung und Wiedernutzbarmachung dieser Gebiete ist ein sehr aufwendiger Prozess, bei dem zahlreiche Daten durch zahlreiche Akteure erhoben und genutzt werden. Inzwischen gilt die Verwaltung alter Bergbaugebiete als Ewigkeitsaufgabe, sodass die erhobenen Daten auf lange Zeit verfügbar und nutzbar sein müssen. In diesem Paper stellen wir ein Nachnutzungkonzept für die Daten vor, welches auf die Verwaltung der Daten als Ewigkeitsaufgabe auffasst.

description: In this study, we propose to analyse students’ drawings using the Semiotic Cultural Psychological Theory (SCPT), a socio-cultural psychological model that integrates semiotics with dynamic systems theory. According to the SCPT framework, students-generated drawings can be analysed in terms of generalised meanings, i.e., implicit assumptions about the represented content. We applied SCPT to identify a set of generalised meanings about seasonal changes and to investigate whether they depend on students’ grade level. We used a draw-and-explain task to collect drawings and written explanations about seasonal changes produced by 495 Italian 8th grade (N = 196) and 9th grade (N = 299) students. The analysis was based on Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Cluster Analysis. Five generalised meanings about seasonal changes were identified: 1) Climate; 2) Static Earth – Sun; 3) Moving Earth – Sun; 4) Rays – Earth; 5) Moving Earth–Orbit– Sun. The emerging generalised meanings were significantly associated with students’ written explanations and grade level. Moreover, generalised meanings were informed by the cultural conventions adopted in textbook representations about seasonal changes. Findings suggest that the SCPT framework can be productively used to analyse students-generated drawings about natural phenomena and to detect specific features of textbook representations that can impair the development of appropriate scientific knowledge.
Dimensionality-reduced estimation of primaries by sparse inversion
Creators: name: Jumah, Bander K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Data-driven methods—such as the estimation of primaries by sparse inversion suffer from the 'curse of dimensionality’ that leads to disproportional growth in computational and storage demands when moving to realistic 3D field data. To remove this fundamental impediment, we propose a dimensionality-reduction technique where the 'data matrix' is approximated adaptively by a randomized low-rank factorization. Compared to conventional methods, which need passes through all the data possibly including on-the-fly interpolations for each iteration, our approach has the advantage that the passes are reduced to one to three. In addition, the low-rank matrix factorization leads to considerable reductions in storage and computational costs of the matrix multiplies required by the sparse inversion. Application of the proposed formalism to synthetic and real data shows that significant performance improvements in speed and memory use are achievable at a low computational overhead required by the low-rank factorization.

description: Federated learning is an emerging technique in machine learning that allows multiple parties to collaboratively train models without sharing raw data. It has been applied in various fields such as healthcare, finance, and transportation. In this paper, we cast light on the potential of federated learning in the highly relevant social-ecological domain of agriculture, a field in which digitization is becoming increasingly prevalent. We briefly introduce the collaborative learning concept of federated learning and briefly consider its postulated benefits and open challenges. The potential of federated learning to overcome concerns against digital technology in agriculture, e.g., data privacy and sovereignty or initial investment and operating costs, is then discussed. We also identify system requirements and stress the necessity of appropriate IT-ecosystems and touch upon specific requirements which can enable federated learning to ensure both a data-sovereign and efficient information and knowledge exchange among multiple parties. Based on that, agricultural use cases where federated learning can unfold its potential by not only improving the quality of machine learning models, but also by alleviating overarching adoption barriers, will be exemplary delineated.

Among all children, 44 percent live in low-income families and approximately one in every five (21 percent) live in poor families. Our very youngest children, infants and toddlers under age 3, appear to be particularly vulnerable, with 48 percent living in low-income families, including 25 percent living in poor families. Winding up in a low-income or poor family does not happen by chance. There are a range of factors associated with children's experiences of economic insecurity, including race/ethnicity and parents' educational attainment and employment.

description: Persistent identifiers are critical components of modern and evolving data infrastructure. Like much of the mechanics of civilization, PIDs are based on trusted registries. The operation of these registries can have significant power over how and when data are shared. This paper explores those power dynamics and suggests ways to balance the trade-offs between necessary control and maximizing the generative value of data.

Time-asymmetry of probabilities versus relativistic causal structure: an arrow of time

description: There is an incompatibility between the symmetries of causal structure in relativity theory and the signaling abilities of probabilistic devices with inputs and outputs: while time-reversal in relativity will not introduce the ability to signal between spacelike separated regions, this is not the case for probabilistic devices with space-like separated input-output pairs. We explicitly describe a non-signaling device which becomes a perfect signaling device under time-reversal, where time-reversal can be conceptualized as playing backwards a videotape of an agent manipulating the device. This leads to an arrow of time that is identifiable when studying the correlations of events for spacelike separated regions. Somewhat surprisingly, although time-reversal of Popuscu-Roerlich boxes also allows agents to signal, it does not yield a perfect signaling device. Finally, we realize time-reversal using post-selection, which could lead experimental implementation.

description: Quantum computing has the potential to exponentially accelerate the solution of specific problems compared to classical computing. However, the accessibility to quantum computing is currently limited due to the technical challenges posed by quantum devices. Additionally, implementing quantum algorithms is challenging because of the complex nature of quantum systems. To address these challenges, we introduce the ProvideQ Toolbox, a framework designed to enhance the accessibility of quantum computing, especially for optimization problems. Our toolbox includes a range of classical and quantum state-of-the-art optimization algorithms and employs meta-solver strategies to determine the best quantum optimization algorithm or quantum subroutine in a classical algorithm for a given optimization problem. The ProvideQ Toolbox can be used via a web-based frontend and an API and can be seamlessly integrated with multiple quantum computing backends and classical optimization frameworks.

description: Several algorithms have been proposed since the Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem was introduced in the field of cryptography to minimize the computational complexity and Double Base Number System (DBNS) was one of them. In this thesis, an algorithm has been discussed which may optimise the greedy algorithm and hence optimising the near canonic representation of an integer in Double Base Number System, which is important to perform basic arithmetic operations. Another algorithm has been discussed in the thesis on near canonic representation of an integer with three co-prime bases and four co-prime bases. A comparative study has been done as well between the newly proposed algorithm and the optimized greedy algorithm. A few experiments were performed to compare among Double base Chain, Triple Base Chain and Quintuple Base Chain and to compare between Joint Double Base Chain and Joint Triple Base Chain. The computed length for proposed algorithm is also O ((C log⁡x)/(log log⁡x )). An experiment was performed to compute the constant C for 3-integer and 4-integer expansions. Also, another study was done to compute the optimal second base for two dimensional logarithmic number system and the optimal second and third base combination for three dimensional logarithmic number system.

description: We measure the spin dephasing of holes localized in self-assembled (InGa)As quantum dots by spin noise spectroscopy. The localized holes show a distinct hyperfine interaction with the nuclear spin bath despite the p-type symmetry of the valence band states. The experiments reveal a short spin relaxation time τ_{fast}^{hh} of 27 ns and a second, long spin relaxation time τ_{slow}^{hh} which exceeds the latter by more than one order of magnitude. The two times are attributed to heavy hole spins aligned perpendicular and parallel to the stochastic nuclear magnetic field. Intensity dependent measurements and numerical simulations reveal that the long relaxation time is still obscured by light absorption, despite low laser intensity and large detuning. Off-resonant light absorption causes a suppression of the spin noise signal due to the creation of a second hole entailing a vanishing hole spin polarization.

description: The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess the integration of computational thinking with learning about biological evolution. Specifically, we investigated the effectiveness of a framework from a recently developed learning progression that emphasises the complex nature of teaching both computational thinking and biological evolution. Computational thinking is a concept introduced by relatively recent science education reform efforts. For many educators, the notion of computational thinking is unclear making it difficult to integrate into instruction. High school student participants engaged in a quasi-experimental design study. Interventions integrating computational thinking and evolution concepts were used synonymously with assessments to identify change in both student biological evolution knowledge and computational knowledge over time. Students deepened their knowledge in both areas; however, one intervention was more robust in increasing both knowledge of computational thinking and biological evolution. The results warrant future research in these areas and suggest that computational thinking deserves a much greater emphasis within biology classrooms. It also supports the learning progression’s model of weaving disciplinary core ideas with scientific practices to deepen students’ science learning.

3D inversion of natural source electromagnetic data
Creators: name: Holtham, Elliot Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) data are airborne electromagnetic data which relate the vertical magnetic field measured by a helicopter to the orthogonal horizontal magnetic field measured at a ground-based reference station. The 30-720 Hz frequency range makes it possible to image structures at a kilometer depth for many geologic settings. This depth of penetration, coupled with rapid spatial acquisition of an airborne system, means that ZTEM data can be used to map large-scale structures that are difficult to survey with ground-based surveys. I present some fundamentals of the ZTEM signatures and then develop a Gauss-Newton inversion algorithm which I test on a synthetic and a field example from the Mt. Milligan porphyry deposit. For large airborne surveys, the high number of cells required to discretize the area at a reasonable resolution can make the computational cost of inverting the dataset prohibitively expensive. I present an iterative methodology that can be used to invert large natural source surveys by using a combination of coarse and fine meshes and a domain decomposition that splits the full model into smaller subproblems which can be run in parallel. After each round of tiled inversions, the tiles are merged together to form an updated model. I demonstrate this procedure first by inverting the data computed from a large synthetic model, before working with a survey over the Pebble porphyry deposit. The inverted ZTEM results are consistent with other electromagnetic datasets. Since a 1D conductivity structure produces no vertical magnetic fields, the technique cannot recover information about a purely 1D model. In order to increase sensitivity to the background structure, and greatly improve the depth of investigation over just ZTEM data, magnetotelluric (MT) and ZTEM data can both be collected. The combination of sparse MT data, with the economical and rapid spatial acquisition of airborne ZTEM data, creates a cost effective exploration technique that can map structures at depths. I develop an algorithm to jointly invert ZTEM and MT data, and apply this technique to a synthetic model and a field example from the Reese River geothermal property.
Contemporary Karbala Narratives and the Changing  Gender Dynamics in Shi'i Communities

description: The Karbala narratives that are derivative from the historic battle of Karbala which is seen as a key moment in Shi'i history, form the basis of the Ashura commemorations and are therefore a defining paradigm in Shi'ism. In the earlier narratives, women were largely seen as passive victims of the Karbala tragedy and know largely through the trials and tribulations they faced. In the past few decades however a gender-dynamic transformation has taken place with regards to the transmission of the Karbala narrative which has consequently bought about renewed attention to and a re-evaluation of the role of women in the aftermath of the Karbala battle. This paper will focus on the changed gender constructions in the popular Karbala narratives in the differing contexts of Lebanon, Iran and Pakistan and underline the agentative role of Zaynab as a common factor in these transformations in diverse cultural contexts. It will also highlight that the consequence of this transformation has multiple meanings and implications for the future presence of Shi'i women in the public sphere.

description: In times of digital transformation, service has evolved to a key concept in the Information Systems research. With a service lens, we focus on Enterprise Service Management (ESM) as an innovative value proposition for organizations. In this paper we attempt to operationalize an organization’s ESM capability through a scale-based measure. Based on a service-dominant logic and existing literature we develop the OATIP model for ESM capability consisting of five resources: organizational, architectural, technological, shared information and people resources. We qualitatively validate the model through expert interviews and card sorting. Our results can guide organizations in their endeavour to build an ESM capability.

description: As academic librarians we are always looking for new ways to engage students and especially new undergraduate students. Personal librarian programs have been one such way of attempting to create personalized connections between the library and new students. However the peak of such programs was the early 2010s and typical program components do not always fit today's settings. Students are less likely to engage in widespread emails and may not always understand what their librarian or library can do for them. This program attempted to incorporate best practices and findings from a scoping review on personal librarian programs, adapt to its own institutional setting which included a strong liaison librarian program, and include new ways for students to connect with a librarian including based on their unique background, and language spoken. The 2020-2021 academic year has been the pilot year for this program and this poster will share progress to date and invite you to discuss and share input to continue the evolution of this new approach to personal librarian programs in academic libraries.

description: We use the Stripe 82 proper motion catalogue of Bramich et al. (2008) to study the kinematics of Galactic disk stars in the solar neighborhood. We select samples of dwarf stars with reliable spectra and proper motions. They have cylindrical polar radius between 7 < R < 9 kpc, heights from the Galactic plane satisfying z < 2 kpc and span a range of metallicities -1.5 < [Fe/H] < 0. We develop a method for calculating and correcting for the halo contamination in our sample using the distribution of rotational velocities. Two Gaussians representing disk and halo populations are used to fit the radial and vertical velocity distributions via maximum likelihood methods. For the azimuthal velocities the same technique is used, except that a skewed non-Gaussian functional form now represents the disk velocity distribution. This enables us to compute the dispersions and cross-terms (the tilt and the vertex deviation) of the velocity ellipsoid as a function of height and metallicity. We also investigate the rotation lag of the disk, finding that the more metal-poor stars rotate significantly slower than the metal-rich stars. These samples provide important constraints on heating mechanisms in the Galactic disk and can be used for a variety of applications. We present one such application, employing the Jeans equations to provide a simple model of the potential close to the disk. Our model is in excellent agreement with others in the literature and provides an indication the disk, rather than the halo, dominates the circular speed at the solar neighborhood. We obtain a surface mass density within 1.1 kpc of around 66 M/pc^2 and estimate a local halo density of 0.015 M/pc^3 = 0.57 GeV/cm^3.

description: This research paper explores the potential benefits and challenges of using Quantum Computing to enhance Reinforcement Learning (RL), a subset of Machine Learning that involves learning through trial and error. RL algorithms aim to learn a policy that maximizes a reward signal by interacting with an environment. Quantum Computing, which uses quantum-mechanical phenomena to process information, has been applied to several models in the realm of Machine Learning (ML). It therefore has the potential to accelerate computations of ML models which may be used to improve the efficiency of RL. However, current hardware limitations of quantum computers and the difficulty of designing quantum algorithms that outperform classical algorithms are major challenges to overcome. This paper discusses different approaches to using Quantum Computing for RL, such as using quantum algorithms to solve specific subproblems. In particular, we aim towards a performance benchmark of Quantum Reinforcement Learning using an implementation of Quantum Deep Q Learning as an example. While there is still much research to be done, the potential benefits of using Quantum Computing for RL are significant and warrant further exploration as quantum computing technology continues to evolve.

description: This article outlines the historiographical development from Africa’s treatment as a sideshow of World War I to attention to the conflict’s global dimensions starting in the age of decolonisation and attempts to integrate Africa’s role into this new narrative. Historiography on Africa in World War I has massively developed over the last thirty years, yet it is argued that there remain blind spots and desiderata, that stronger emphasis be put on African scholarship, and despite an increased awareness of Africa’s role there remains a lot to be done for its full integration into the global narrative of the War.

Hurricane Katrina (2005)

description: Six months after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, a Columbia-led research team conducted a random household survey of people who had been displaced by the disaster in Louisiana. Mental health disability and psychological strain were rampant, people’s lives were chaotic, and their futures were uncertain. The children who had been displaced were often socially and medically adrift – many of them were disengaged from schools, without adequate primary medical care, and living among very fragile families1. One year after the hurricane, we replicated the study among residents of Mississippi’s Gulf Coast who had been heavily impacted or displaced by the hurricane. Based on interviews with a random sample of displaced and impacted residents, it appears that for a number of households the situation remains dire or is worsening. Furthermore, there is evidence of an economic determinism at work, in that those who had been struggling to maintain their financial footing at the time of the hurricane – the working class and the working poor – have been forced back down the socioeconomic ladder towards impoverished and dependent states. Recovery has become a test of resilience – who will bounce back, both in terms of people and in terms of geography? The premise of much recovery policy is to invest in geographically-based recovery – the bricks and mortar of critical infrastructure, housing, and markets – with the notion that once a place has recovered, the population’s recovery will follow as well. Findings from the Mississippi Child & Family Health (M-CAFH) study suggest that the population recovery – particularly among the most economically and socially vulnerable – may be lagging significantly behind that of other infrastructure recovery.
Nationaler Survey unter den Leitern von Anästhesiekliniken zur Umsetzung des Managements der Muskelrelaxierung bei Allgemeinanästhesie

description: Die Relaxierung ist eine optionale Narkosequalität. Eine Restwirkung von Muskelrelaxantien nach Narkoseende ist mit Risiken verbunden. Ein quantitatives neuromuskuläres Monitoring (qNM) zur Überwachung der Wirkung ist daher von großer Bedeutung. Bereits zweimal, 2000 und 2005, wurde in Deutschland im Rahmen eines National Survey die Situation im klinischen Alltag in deutschen Krankenhäusern abgefragt. Seither haben sich wesentliche Veränderungen sowohl im Spektrum der Medikamente, als auch im Spektrum der operativen Vorgehensarten entwickelt. Die vorliegende deutschlandweite Umfrage sollte evaluieren, ob die Anwendung des qNM in den Kliniken zunimmt und das Management der Relaxierung den wissenschaftlichen Empfehlungen entspricht. Es kam ein „web-basierter“ Fragebogen zum Einsatz. Die Statistik war ausschließlich deskriptiv. Die Rücklaufquote betrug 16,5%. Die Anwendungswirklichkeit des Monitorings hat sich verbessert. Wesentliche Empfehlungen sind aber noch nicht umgesetzt werden.
description: Relaxation through the use of muscle relaxants during general anaesthesia is an optional quality. Persisting effects of muscle relaxants after finished surgery comes with great risks for patients. Thus, Neuromuscular Monitoring is very important for monitoring the effects of the muscle relaxants. So far a national survey addressing the daily routine of the use of muscle relaxants in German hospitals, has been done twice, 2000 and 2005. Since than there have been significant changes in the specific pharmaceuticals being available and the operative procedures being used. This survey is supposed to evaluate if the use and handling of the neuromuscular monitoring has changed since then. We used a “web based” questionnaire. Only descriptive statistics were used. The response rate was 16,5%. The survey showed that the technical equipment concerning neuromuscular monitoring used in German hospitals has further improved. Not all scientific recommendations regarding qNM are implemented yet.

description: In digital farming applications cloud-based software offers are predominantly used, which simplifies software and data handling, but lacks transparency of data storage and usage. Internet access becomes essential, which makes time-critical and weather-dependant applications dependent on internet connectivity posing risks for timely execution. To address these issues, a Hofbox concept is being developed that provides openly available software components on local computer hardware. It is based on a modular structure with automatically installable and configurable microservices. The Hofbox thus enables local data storage and processing as well as targeted data exchange via cloud systems that are organised in a decentralised manner. Machinery rings and farmers are targeted decentralised entities. The connected farm boxes are maintained according to an edge computing approach. All components are open source thus ensuring adaptability and expandability, focusing on the use of geodata for small and medium-sized farms.
Exploring novel correlations in trilepton channels at the LHC for the minimal supersymmetric inverse seesaw model

description: We investigate signatures of the minimal supersymmetric inverse seesaw model at the large hadron collider (LHC) with three isolated leptons and large missing energy (3\ell + \mET or 2\ell + 1τ+ \mET, with \ell=e,μ) in the final state. This signal has its origin in the decay of chargino-neutralino (\chpm1\ntrl2) pair, produced in pp collisions. The two body decays of the lighter chargino into a charged lepton and a singlet sneutrino has a characteristic decay pattern which is correlated with the observed large atmospheric neutrino mixing angle. This correlation is potentially observable at the LHC by looking at the ratios of cross sections of the trilepton + \mET channels in certain flavour specific modes. We show that even after considering possible leading standard model backgrounds these final states can lead to reasonable discovery significance at the LHC with both 7 TeV and 14 TeV center-of-mass energy.

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)

description: We define a hypergeometric function over finite fields which is an analogue of the classical generalized hypergeometric series. We prove that this function satisfies many transformation and summation formulas. Some of these results are analogous to those given by Dixon, Kummer and Whipple for the well-poised classical series. We also discuss this function's relationship to other finite field analogues of the classical series, most notably those defined by Greene and Katz.
On the Edge: Children and Families Displaced by Hurricanes Katrina andRita Face a Looming Medical and Mental Health Crisis: Executive Summary

description: The individuals and families who were displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and who have ended up in FEMA-subsidized community housing in Louisiana are facing a second crisis, one in which untreated and undertreated chronic medical problems and incipient mental health issues will overwhelm patients and providers. Among the displaced, children may be particularly vulnerable. In New Orleans alone, approximately 110,000 children under age eighteen — 85% of the pre-Katrina pediatric population — have not returned to the city since the hurricanes. These children, and others from outside of New Orleans, have been scattered throughout the Gulf Coast and across the fifty states. Louisiana's school enrollment dropped by 70,000 students, many of whom have resettled in other states, some who have not yet returned to school in Louisiana. The Louisiana Child & Family Health Study focused on the displaced population living in FEMA-subsidized housing in Louisiana, and who may be among the most needy. According to interviews with adults in 665 randomly selected households at trailer communities and hotels throughout the state, this displaced group of children and families suffers from a constellation of serious medical and mental health problems. Parents report high rates of asthma, behavioral problems, and learning disabilities among their children. Despite that, access to continuous medical care, appropriate mental health care, medications, specialized medical equipment, and specialty medical care, is either fragmented at best, or absent altogether. The medical and mental health needs documented in this report may be regarded as the consequence of inadequately treated chronic diseases, psychological and emotional traumas secondary to the chaos and despair of a massive dislocation, and the social deprivations of the chronically-poor and the newly-impoverished. At a deeper level, though, the problems relate to the loss of stability in people's lives: families that are increasingly fragile, children who are disengaged from schools, and the wholesale loss of community, workplace, and health care providers and institutions.
