description: Creating technology that is relevant and accessible to developing communities is an emerging area of scholarly and practical importance. Diversity in both the creators and consumers of advanced technology is required to develop sustained and useful applications of robotics, AI, and other technical fields in developing regions. Increased diversity will result in a wider array of technological innovations that are of benefit to both developed and developing regions. However, due to restricted access to technical resources, infrastructure, and expertise, technology education in developing communities is non-trivial. Thus, international partnerships and creative course designs are required. In response to this need, we developed a partnership between Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA and Ashesi University in Accra, Ghana to design and implement an undergraduate introductory Robotics course targeted towards the Ghanaian context. This hands-on course, which to our knowledge is the first of its kind in Ghana, introduced students to the fields of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence and guided them to develop technical creativity by designing, building, and programming small robotic systems. This paper presents an overview of the course, its outcomes, lessons learned through its implementation, plans for its sustainability, and projected future directions.

description: The discrepancy between the observed abundances of 3He in the ISM and those predicted by stellar and galactic chemical evolution remains largely unexplained. In this paper, we attempt to shed some light on this unsolved problem by presenting a quantitative comparison of the 3He abundances recently measured in six planetary nebulae (PNe) with the corresponding predictions of stellar evolution theory. The determination of the mass of the PNe progenitors allows us to dismiss, to a good degree of confidence, the hypothesis that the abundance of 3He in the envelope of all low-mass stars is strongly reduced with respect to the standard theoretical values by some mixing mechanism acting in the latest phases of stellar evolution. The abundance versus mass correlation, allowance made for the limitation of the sample, is in fact found to be fully consistent with the classical prediction of stellar evolution. We examine the implications of this result on the galactic evolution of 3He with the help of a series of models with standard and non-standard nucleosynthesis prescriptions. The results are found to be consistent with the observed galactic abundances only if the vast majority of low-mass stars follows non-standard prescriptions. This implies that either the sample of PNe nebulae under exam is highly biased, or the solution to the 3He problem lies elsewhere.

Climate Change adaptation policies and Northern development; Continuity or changes between Harper’s and Trudeau’s government?
Creators: name: Deschênes-Philion, Alexandre
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: Biophysical changes associated with climatic variation in the Canadian Arctic have created various challenges (such as transportation, housing, infrastructure reliance, and security of the Northern national border) and opportunities (natural resources extraction and the development of tourism, among others). In response, the federal government has become more involved in the development of Canada’s North over the last decade. By analyzing Canada’s Northern Strategy (2009) and the Federal Adaptation Framework (2011), this research critically analyzes the successive governments’ progress in developing adaptation strategies and policies to mitigate such impact and risk. This research finds that while important steps have made in addressing the problem of adaptation in the North since 2009, and funding has been allocated to several projects to improve climate resilience, Northern populations that are disproportionally affected by climate change and majority Indigenous have been ignored in the process. Keywords: Canadian Arctic, Climate change, Climate adaptation, Vulnerability, Indigenous, Northern Strategy, Adaptation Framework

description: In order for robots to act as valuable assistants for non-expert users, they need to be able to learn new abilities and do so through natural methods of communication. Furthermore, it is often desirable that tasks be learned quickly without having to provide multiple demonstrations. Training should also be conducted so that the user has a clear understanding of the manner in which environmental features affect the behavior of the learned activity, so that execution behavior is predictable. We present an interactive framework for teaching a robot the flow of an activity composed of elements from a set of primitive behaviors and previously trained activities. Conditional branching and looping, order-independent activity execution, and contingency (or interrupt) actions can all be captured by our activity structures. Additional convenience functionality to aid in the training process is also provided. By providing a natural method of communicating production rules analogous to rigid programming structures, tasks can be trained quickly and easily. We demonstrate our task training procedure on our CMAssist mobile robot.

description: The contamination of lakes by industrial emissions is an issue of international concern. Traditional paleolimnology examines sedimentary micro-fossils to infer the biological response to natural and anthropogenic stressors over time. Here, we calculate a theoretical biological effect for historic sediment sections using Probable Effect Concentration Quotient (PEC-Q) and arsenic specific quotient methods and develop novel time-constrained sediment toxicity test methods using a cultured Daphnia sp. combined with a whole cell microbial biosensor to assess the toxicity of past industrial contamination with modern testing methods. These methods were developed using sediments collected from Pocket Lake (Northwest Territories, Canada), a lake known to have exhibited a significant ecological shift following input from nearby gold smelter emissions during the mid 20th century. We then applied these methods to near-, mid-, and far-field sites to assess the response of Daphnia sp. to varying contaminant load. Daphnia sp. mortality exposed to dated sediments indicated a strong concordance with the timing of mining activities, and a strong concordance with PEC-Q and arsenic specific toxicity quotients. In contrast, a decrease in Daphnia mortality was observed during pre-, and post-mining periods when the contaminant burden was lower. Initial assessments of bioavailability using a microbial biosensor indicated that arsenic in porewater is 72-96% bioavailable, and limited evidence that oxidative stress may contribute to the Daphnia sp. toxic response. These results indicate that lake sediment archives can be used to infer missing biomonitoring data in sites of legacy anthropogenic influence, which will be useful for those seeking to conduct cost-effective and efficient preliminary environmental risk assessments.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

The Angular Momentum Evolution of Very Low Mass Stars

description: We present theoretical models of the angular momentum evolution of very low mass stars (0.1 - 0.5 M_sun) and solar analogues (0.6 - 1.1 M_sun). We investigate the effect of rotation on the effective temperature and luminosity of these stars. We find that the decrease in T_eff and L can be significant at the higher end of our mass range, but becomes negligible below 0.4 M_sun. Formulae for relating T_eff to mass and v_rot are presented. We compare our models to rotational data from young open clusters of different ages to infer the rotational history of low mass stars, and the dependence of initial conditions and rotational evolution on mass. We find that the qualitative conclusions for stars below 0.6 M_sun do not depend on the assumptions about internal angular momentum transport, which makes these low mass stars ideal candidates for the study of the angular momentum loss law and distribution of initial conditions. We find that neither models with solid body nor differential rotation can simultaneously reproduce the observed stellar spin down in the 0.6 to 1.1 M_sun mass range and for stars between 0.1 and 0.6 M_sun. The most likely explanation is that the saturation threshold drops more steeply at low masses than would be predicted with a simple Rossby scaling. In young clusters there is a systematic increase in the mean rotation rate with decreased temperature below 3500 K (0.4 M_sun). This suggests either inefficient angular momentum loss or mass-dependent initial conditions for stars near the fully convective boundary. (abridged)

description: Spatial distributions of heavy particles suspended in an incompressible isotropic and homogeneous turbulent flow are investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations. In the dissipative range, it is shown that particles form fractal clusters with properties independent of the Reynolds number. Clustering is there optimal when the particle response time is of the order of the Kolmogorov time scale $τ_η$. In the inertial range, the particle distribution is no longer scale-invariant. It is however shown that deviations from uniformity depend on a rescaled contraction rate, which is different from the local Stokes number given by dimensional analysis. Particle distribution is characterized by voids spanning all scales of the turbulent flow; their signature in the coarse-grained mass probability distribution is an algebraic behavior at small densities.

description: We construct examples of translationally invariant solvable models of strongly-correlated metals, composed of lattices of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev dots with identical local interactions. These models display crossovers as a function of temperature into regimes with local quantum criticality and marginal-Fermi liquid behavior. In the marginal Fermi liquid regime, the dc resistivity increases linearly with temperature over a broad range of temperatures. By generalizing the form of interactions, we also construct examples of non-Fermi liquids with critical Fermi-surfaces. The self energy has a singular frequency dependence, but lacks momentum dependence, reminiscent of a dynamical mean field theory-like behavior but in dimensions $d

Taking Back Control: Can Brexit Deliver Regulatory Independence?
Creators: name: Cock, Joseph
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: In this paper, I examine the argument that Brexit can deliver regulatory independence. I focus on the importance of the new non-tariff barriers to trade that UK exporters would face if the UK followed through with its stated intention to leave the EU single market. This focus is in response to the tendency of pro-Brexit bodies such as the European Research Group (ERG) and Economists for Free Trade (EFT) to assume away the non-tariff barriers to trade that would be entailed by the UK’s regulatory divergence from the EU. Firstly, I examine the architecture of the EU regulatory state and the literature on the state and non-state determinants of outcomes in international regulatory convergence. Subsequently, I conduct three case studies on some of the UK sectors most exposed to new regulatory barriers to trade – financial services, automotive and agriculture. I argue that there is an inescapable trade-off between regulatory independence and the ongoing viability of these domestic industries. Finally, I examine the critical regulatory issues raised on the island of Ireland by the UK’s attempt to leave the EU single market. I argue that this will bind the UK into ongoing regulatory dependence on the EU, as a rule-taker rather than a rule-maker.
The Equivalence Theorem And Its Radiative-Correction-Free Formulation For All R_xi Gauges

description: The electroweak equivalence theorem quantitatively connects the physical amplitudes of longitudinal massive gauge bosons to those of the corresponding ``unphysical'' would-be Goldstone bosons. Its precise form depends on both the gauge fixing condition and the renormalization scheme. Our previous modification-free schemes have applied to a broad class of $R_ξ$ gauges including 't Hooft-Feynman gauge but excluding Landau gauge. In this paper we construct a new renormalization scheme in which the radiative modification factor, $C_{mod}^a$, is equal to unity for all $R_ξ$-gauges, including both 't Hooft-Feynman and Landau gauges. This scheme makes $C_{mod}^a$ equal to unity by specifying a convenient subtraction condition for the would-be Goldstone boson wavefunction renormalization constant $Z_{ϕ^a}$. We build the new scheme for both the standard model and the effective Lagrangian formulated electroweak theories (with either linearly or non-linearly realized symmetry breaking sector). Based upon these, a new prescription, called ``divided equivalence theorem'', is further proposed for extending the high energy region applicable to the equivalence theorem.

description: We theoretically investigate the magnetization inside a normal metal containing the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) induced by the proximity effect in an s-wave superconductor/normal metal/ferromagnetic metal/s-wave superconductor (S/N/F/S) Josephson junction. By solving the linearized Usadel equation taking account of the RSOI,we find that the direction of the magnetization induced by the proximity effect in N can be reversed by tuning the RSOI.Moreover, we also find that the direction of the magnetization inside N can be reversed by changing the superconducting phase difference, i.e., Josephson phase. From these results, it is expected that the dependence of the magnetization on the RSOI and Josephson phase can be applied to superconducting spintronics.

Subjects: subject: 80101 Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics

description: We present a manipulation planning framework that allows robots to plan in the presence of constraints on end-effector pose, as well as other common constraints. The framework has three main components: constraint representation, constraint-satisfaction strategies, and a general planning algorithm. These components come together to create an efficient and probabilistically complete manipulation planning algorithm called the Constrained BiDirectional Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) – CBiRRT2. The underpinning of our framework for pose constraints is our Task Space Regions (TSRs) representation. TSRs are intuitive to specify, can be efficiently sampled, and the distance to a TSR can be evaluated very quickly, making them ideal for sampling-based planning. Most importantly, TSRs are a general representation of pose constraints that can fully describe many practical tasks. For more complex tasks, such as manipulating articulated objects, TSRs can be chained together to create more complex end-effector pose constraints. TSRs can also be intersected, a property that we use to plan with pose uncertainty. We provide a detailed description of our framework, prove probabilistic completeness for our planning approach, and describe several real-world example problems that illustrate the efficiency and versatility of the TSR framework.

description: Based on 1712.09990 which handles the 4-particle amplituhedron at 3-loop, we have found an extremely simple pattern, yet far more non-trivial than one might naturally expect: the all-loop Mondrian diagrammatics. By further simplifying and rephrasing the key relation of positivity in the amplituhedron setting, remarkably, we find a completeness relation unifying all diagrams of the Mondrian types for the 4-particle integrand of planar N=4 SYM to all loop orders, each of which can be mapped to a simple product following a few plain rules designed for this relation. The explicit examples we investigate span from 3-loop to 7-loop order, and based on them, we classify the basic patterns of Mondrian diagrams into four types: the ladder, cross, brick-wall and spiral patterns. Interestingly, for some special combinations of ordered subspaces (a concept defined in the previous work), we find failed exceptions of the completeness relation which are called "anomalies", nevertheless, they substantially give hints on the all-loop recursive proof of this relation. These investigations are closely related to the combinatoric knowledge of separable permutations and Schroeder numbers, and go even further from a diagrammatic perspective. For physical relevance, we need to further consider dual conformal invariance for two basic diagrammatic patterns to correct the numerator for a local integrand involving one or both of such patterns, while the denominator encoding its pole structure and also the sign factor, are already fixed by rules of the completeness relation. With this extra treatment to ensure the integrals are dual conformally invariant, each Mondrian diagram can be exactly translated to its corresponding physical loop integrand after being summed over all ordered subspaces that admit it.

description: We investigate the generation of magnetic field by the Biermann battery in cosmological ionization fronts, using new simulations of the reionization of the universe by stars in protogalaxies. Two mechanisms are primarily responsible for magnetogenesis: i) the breakout of I-fronts from protogalaxies, and ii) the propagation of I-fronts through the high density neutral filaments which are part of the cosmic web. The first mechanism is dominant prior to overlapping of ionized regions (z ~ 7), whereas the second continues to operate even after that epoch. However, after overlap the field strength increase is largely due to the gas compression occurring as cosmic structures form. As a consequence, the magnetic field at z ~ 5 closely traces the gas density, and it is highly ordered on megaparsec scales. The mean mass-weighted field strength is B_0 ~ 10^{-19} G in the simulation box. There is a relatively well-defined, nearly linear correlation between B_0 and the baryonic mass of virialized objects, with B_0 ~ 10^{-18} G in the most massive objects (M ~ 10^9 M_sun) in our simulations. This is a lower limit, as lack of numerical resolution prevents us from following small scale dynamical processes which could amplify the field in protogalaxies. Although the field strengths we compute are probably adequate as seed fields for a galactic dynamo, the field is too small to have had significant effects on galaxy formation, on thermal conduction, or on cosmic ray transport in the intergalactic medium. It could, however, be observed in the intergalactic medium through innovative methods based on analysis of gamma-ray burst photon arrival times.

description: Sparse representation can efficiently model signals in different applications to facilitate processing. In this article, we will discuss various applications of sparse representation in wireless communications, with focus on the most recent compressive sensing (CS) enabled approaches. With the help of the sparsity property, CS is able to enhance the spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency for the fifth generation (5G) networks and Internet of Things (IoT) networks. This article starts from a comprehensive overview of CS principles and different sparse domains potentially used in 5G and IoT networks. Then recent research progress on applying CS to address the major opportunities and challenges in 5G and IoT networks is introduced, including wideband spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks, data collection in IoT networks, and channel estimation and feedback in massive MIMO systems. Moreover, other potential applications and research challenges on sparse representation for 5G and IoT networks are identified. This article will provide readers a clear picture of how to exploit the sparsity properties to process wireless signals in different applications.

description: This paper overviews two recently completed vision systems (a rock sampling system for planetary rovers and a bin-picking system for industrial robots). Then, we will examine the reason why these two systems have different architectures although their goals are roughly same, picking up something by visual observation. Based on this discussion, we will develop the task-oriented vision paradigm, and examine the difference between the task-oriented vision paradigm and the traditional Marr's paradigm. We will also explore the research issues necessary for completing the task-oriented vision paradigm.

description: First results of a Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy experiment conducted at the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife, Spain) are presented. The instrument is a four channel (3.1, 2.1, 1.3 and 1.1 mm) $^3$He bolometer system coupled to a 45 cm diameter telescope. The resultant configuration is sensitive to structures on angular scales ~ 1-2 degrees. We use the channels at the two highest frequencies for monitoring the atmosphere, and apply a simple method to subtract this contribution in channels 1 (3.1 mm) and 2 (2.1 mm). The most intense structure at these two frequencies is the Galactic crossing with peak amplitudes of ~ 350 micro-K. These crossings have been clearly detected with the amplitude and shape predicted. This demonstrates that our multifrequency observations allow an effective assessment and subtraction of the atmospheric contribution. In the section of data at high Galactic latitude we obtain sensitivities ~ 40 micro-K per beam. The statistical analyses show the presence of common signals between channels 1 and 2. Assuming a simple Gaussian auto-correlation model with a scale of coherence $θ_c=1.32$ degrees for the signal, a likelihood analysis of this section of data reveals the presence of fluctuations with intrinsic amplitude $C_{0}^{1/2} = 76^{+43}_{-32}$ micro -K (68 % CL including a ~ 20% calibration uncertainty). Since residual atmospheric noise might still contaminate our results, we also give our result as an upper limit of 118 micro-K at 95% c.l.

description: We examine various recently proposed discretizations of the well-known $ϕ^4$ field theory. We compare and contrast the properties of their fundamental solutions including the nature of their kink-type solitary waves and the spectral properties of the linearization around such waves. We study these features as a function of the lattice spacing $h$, as one deviates from the continuum limit of $h \to 0$. We then proceed to a more ``stringent'' comparison of the models, by discussing the scattering properties of a kink-antikink pair for the different discretizations. These collisions are well-known to possess properties that quite sensitively depend on the initial speed even at the continuum limit. We examine how typical model behaviors are modified in the presence (and as a function) of discreteness and attempt to extract qualitative trends and issue pertinent warnings about some of the surprising resulting properties.

Simplex-like Structures of Maximally Supersymmetric Scattering Amplitudes

description: We elaborate the two-fold simplex-like structures of tree amplitudes in planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills (N=4 SYM), through its connection to a mathematical structure known as the positive Grassmannian. Exploiting the reduced Grassmannian geometry and the matrix form of on-shell recursion relation in terms of super momentum twistors, we manifest that tree amplitudes can be remarkably refined via the essential building blocks named as fully-spanning cells. For a fixed number of negative helicities, an amplitude can be entirely captured by finite, compact information of the relevant fully-spanning cells up to an arbitrarily large number of external particles.

An asymmetric relativistic model for classical double radio sources

Year: 2000

description: There is substantial observational evidence against the symmetric relativistic model of FRII radio sources. An asymmetric relativistic model is proposed which takes account of both relativistic effects and intrinsic/environmental asymmetries to explain the structural asymmetries of their radio lobes. A key parameter of the model is the jet-side of the double sources, which is estimated for 80% of the FRII sources in the 3CRR complete sample. Statistical analyses of the properties of these sources show that the asymmetric model is in agreement with a wide range of observational data, and that the relativistic and intrinsic asymmetry effects are of comparable importance. Intrinsic/environmental asymmetry effects are more important at high radio luminosities and small physical scales. The mean translational speed of the lobes is found to be 0.11c, consistent with the speeds found from spectral ageing arguments. According to a Gaussian model, the standard deviation of lobe speeds is 0.04c. The results are in agreement with an orientation-based unification scheme in which the critical angle separating the radio galaxies from quasars is about 45 degrees.

Al crocevia del “Caso Stamina” e dei suoi “problemi costituzionali”

description: This paper focuses on the so-called Stamina case, involving Stamina Foundation and its stem cells therapies. The promise of finding a cure for desperately severe conditions offered once again the chance to reflect upon the difficulties arising in balancing the individual need for care and a minimum scientific and rational standard. The issue at stake is about when and how the State response to individual requests made by patients in tragic clinical conditions can be limited or refused on the basis of more general considerations concerning safety and sustainability. Recent facts open space for a reflection about the role and responsibilities of physicians, on the one hand, and legislators and judges, on the other one, in giving shape to the right to health and in marking its borders.
