description: Emotion recognition (ER) from speech signals is a robust approach since it cannot be imitated like facial expression or text based sentiment analysis. Valuable information underlying the emotions are significant for human-computer interactions enabling intelligent machines to interact with sensitivity in the real world. Previous ER studies through speech signal processing have focused exclusively on associations between different signal mode decomposition methods and hidden informative features. However, improper decomposition parameter selections lead to informative signal component losses due to mode duplicating and mixing. In contrast, the current study proposes VGG-optiVMD, an empowered variational mode decomposition algorithm, to distinguish meaningful speech features and automatically select the number of decomposed modes and optimum balancing parameter for the data fidelity constraint by assessing their effects on the VGG16 flattening output layer. Various feature vectors were employed to train the VGG16 network on different databases and assess VGG-optiVMD reproducibility and reliability. One, two, and three-dimensional feature vectors were constructed by concatenating Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, Chromagram, Mel spectrograms, Tonnetz diagrams, and spectral centroids. Results confirmed a synergistic relationship between the fine-tuning of the signal sample rate and decomposition parameters with classification accuracy, achieving state-of-the-art 96.09% accuracy in predicting seven emotions on the Berlin EMO-DB database.

description: The nucleus-nucleus potential and energy dissipation in fusion reactions are obtained from microscopic mean-field dynamics. The deduced potentials nicely reproduce the one extracted from experimental data. Energy dissipation shows a universal behaviour between different reactions. Also, the dispersion of mass distribution in transfer reaction is investigated in a stochastic mean-field dynamics. By including initial fluctuations in collective space, the description of the dispersion is much improved compared to that of mean field only. The result is consistent with the macroscopic phenomenological analysis of the experimental data.

description: We present a Spitzer IRAC and MIPS survey of NGC 2451 A and B, two open clusters in the 50-80 Myr age range. We complement these data with extensive ground-based photometry and spectroscopy to identify the cluster members in the Spitzer survey field. We find only two members with 8 micron excesses. The incidence of excesses at 24 microns is much higher, 11 of 31 solar-like stars and 1 of 7 early-type (A) stars. This work nearly completes the debris disk surveys with Spitzer of clusters in the 30-130 Myr range. This range is of inte rest because it is when large planetesimal collisions may have still been relatively common (as indicated by the one that led to the formation of the Moon during this period of the evolution of the Solar System). We review the full set of surveys and find that there are only three possible cases out of about 250 roughly solar-mass stars where very large excesses suggest that such collisions have occurred recently.

description: We investigated the photocurrent in poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl-C$_{61}$ butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) solar cells by applying a pulsed measurement technique. For annealed samples, a point of optimal symmetry (POS) with a corresponding voltage $V_\text{POS}$ of 0.52--0.64 V could be determined. Based on macroscopic simulations and results from capacitance--voltage measurements, we identify this voltage with flat band conditions in the bulk of the cell, but not the built-in voltage as proposed by [Ooi et al., J. Mater. Chem. 18 (2008) 1644]. We calculated the field dependent polaron pair dissociation after Onsager--Braun and the voltage dependent extraction of charge carriers after Sokel and Hughes with respect to this point of symmetry. Our analysis allows to explain the experimental photocurrent in both forward and reverse directions. Also, we observed a voltage--independent offset of the photocurrent. As this offset is crucial for the device performance, we investigated its dependence on cathode material and thermal treatment. From our considerations we gain new insight into the photocurrent`s voltage dependence and the limitations of device efficiency.

description: This paper proposes a distributed guiding-vector-field (DGVF) controller for cross-domain unmanned systems (CDUSs) consisting of heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), to achieve coordinated navigation whereas maneuvering along their prescribed paths. In particular, the DGVF controller provides a hierarchical architecture of an upper-level heterogeneous guidance velocity controller and a lower-level signal tracking regulator. Therein, the upper-level controller is to govern multiple heterogeneous USVs and UAVs to approach and maneuver along the prescribed paths and coordinate the formation simultaneously, whereas the low-level regulator is to track the corresponding desired guidance signals provided by the upper-level module. Significantly, the heterogeneous coordination among neighboring UAVs and USVs is achieved merely by the lightweight communication of a scalar (i.e., the additional virtual coordinate), which substantially decreases the communication and computational costs. Sufficient conditions assuring asymptotical convergence of the closed-loop system are derived in presence of the exponentially vanishing tracking errors. Finally, real-lake experiments are conducted on a self-established cross-domain heterogeneous platform consisting of three M-100 UAVs, two HUSTER-16 USVs, a HUSTER-12C USV, and a WiFi 5G wireless communication station to verify the effectiveness of the present DGVF controller.

description: Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) affective technology enables the intelligent embedded devices to interact with sensitivity. Similarly, call centre employees recognise customers' emotions from their pitch, energy, and tone of voice so as to modify their speech for a high-quality interaction with customers. This work explores, for the first time, the effects of the harmonic and percussive components of Mel spectrograms in SER. We attempt to leverage the Mel spectrogram by decomposing distinguishable acoustic features for exploitation in our proposed architecture, which includes a novel feature map generator algorithm, a CNN-based network feature extractor and a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifier. This study specifically focuses on effective data augmentation techniques for building an enriched hybrid-based feature map. This process results in a function that outputs a 2D image so that it can be used as input data for a pre-trained CNN-VGG16 feature extractor. Furthermore, we also investigate other acoustic features such as MFCCs, chromagram, spectral contrast, and the tonnetz to assess our proposed framework. A test accuracy of 92.79% on the Berlin EMO-DB database is achieved. Our result is higher than previous works using CNN-VGG16.

The development of education in the Canadian Labour Congress
Creators: name: Maynard, Claire
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study traces the development of union education within the Canadian Labour Congress and its predecessors. During the period when union education in Canada originated immediately after World War II, there were two large Canadian Congresses, the Trades and Labor Congress (T.L.C.), and the Canadian Congress of Labour (C.C.L.). The C.C.L., formed in 1940, and its affiliated industrial unions had a pressing need for union education to familiarize its members with union principles. The T.L.C. as a long-established (1883) affiliation of craft unions had a tradition of loyalty toward union aims and was less interested in educational programs. When the two Congresses merged in 1956 and became the Canadian Labour Congress the expansion and growth of membership increased the need for education within the unions. Before the unions organized educational programs for their own members other agencies such as the Mechanics Institute and the Workers' Educational Association attempted to provide a program of liberal arts programs. The programs contributed toward the development of the individual competencies of workers who were not necessarily union members. The peripheral organizations declined as the unions became more adept at administering union education programs. The C.C.L. with its larger affiliated unions is considered to be the originator of union education in Canada. Howard Conquergood, A.L. Hepworth, and Andy Andras, executives of the first education committee in the C.C.L., had a lasting influence on union education trends. The characteristic methods used in union education programs were week-long and weekend schools devoted to giving the student a thorough knowledge of the union as a viable organization dedicated to furthering the economic and social interests of the member. The rise in membership is identified as a factor in the development of the union education program. With the merger of the T.L.C. and the C.C.L. in 1956 to form the Canadian Labour Congress (C.L.C.), more resources could be directed to education. A description is given of the role of the labour movement in adult education through various co-operative activities such as the Labour University Conference in 1956, the National Citizens Forum, and the Canadian Trade Union Film Committee. The co-operation of the C.L.C., McGill University, and the Université de Montreal, led to the establishment in 1963 of the Labour College of Canada as an institution of higher education for trade union members. The College provides an eight-week residential program for workers of Canada and also those of foreign countries. Also pointed out is the broad interest shown by the unions in International affiliations and the study of education in emerging countries. The study concludes by identifying general trends in union education in the past and suggesting some new directions and program areas for union education in the future.
On the effect of tyre and rim size on road bicycle dynamic comfort

In road cycling, the pursuit of comfort and performance has always been a central focus. The dynamic interactions between the rider, bicycle, and the road surface play a pivotal role in determining the overall riding experience. A road bicycle’s dynamic comfort (RBDC) relates to its capacity to filter vibration generated by the road surface and is an essential aspect of rider well-being and performance optimisation. Among the various factors influencing this dynamic interplay, tyre and rim size, as well as tyre pressure, have emerged in road cycling circles and bike shops alike and are thought to be critical parameters. The trend in the last decade suggests that a wider tyre increases comfort and the recent introduction of disk brakes on road bicycles allows fitting much larger tyres than is possible with rims brakes. However, there is limited scientific evidence linking these parameters with RBDC, although it is widely discussed online with anecdotal evidence driving a number of unsubstantiated claims. This paper therefore aims to quantify the influence of tyre size, rim size and tyre pressure combinations on the RBDC experienced by road cyclists using the state of the art metric of transmitted energy. Such insights can be used to debunk common myths, inform design considerations for the design of bicycles, component and cycling infrastructure, for technology and sensor development, and to inform personalised recommendations for road cyclists and their bicycle setup.

description: In this work we investigate the intertype (IT) domain in strongly disordered ferromagnetic superconductors with a Curie temperature lower than the superconducting critical temperature. In such unique materials, the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism allows for the exploration of both unconventional superconductivity and interplay between magnetism and superconductivity. The study utilizes an extended Ginzburg-Landau model for the dirty limit to calculate the boundaries of the IT domain which is characterized by a complex vortex-vortex interaction and exotic vortex configurations. The analysis reveals that the IT domain in dirty ferromagnetic superconductors is not qualitatively different from the clean case and remains similarly large, suggesting that disorder does not hinder the exploration of the rich variety of IT superconductivity in ferromagnetic superconductors. This work expands understanding of the interplay between superconductivity and magnetism in complex materials and could guide future experimental studies.

Quantum gates are associated with a particular measurement sequence, and one way of viewing MBQC is that such a measurement sequence prepares a resource state suitable for `gate teleportation'. We demonstrate how to quantify the performance of quantum gates in MBQC by using correlation functions on the pre-measurement resource state.

An Office Day
Creators: name: Abbott, Marcus
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2014

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
An inverse theorem for the uniformity seminorms associated with the action of $F^ω$

description: Let $\F$ a finite field. We show that the universal characteristic factor for the Gowers-Host-Kra uniformity seminorm $U^k(\X)$ for an ergodic action $(T_g)_{g \in \F^ω}$ of the infinite abelian group $\F^ω$ on a probability space $X = (X,\B,μ)$ is generated by phase polynomials $ϕ: X \to S^1$ of degree less than $C(k)$ on $X$, where $C(k)$ depends only on $k$. In the case where $k \leq \charac(\F)$ we obtain the sharp result $C(k)=k$. This is a finite field counterpart of an analogous result for $\Z$ by Host and Kra. In a companion paper to this paper, we shall combine this result with a correspondence principle to establish the inverse theorem for the Gowers norm in finite fields in the high characteristic case $k \leq \charac(\F)$, with a partial result in low characteristic.

description: Die Sächsische Landesbildstelle wurde 1924 mit dem Ziel gegründet, Diaserien für den Unterrichtsgebrauch in Bildungseinrichtungen bereitzustellen, und konnte binnen kürzester Zeit erste Lichtbildreihen mit Vorgeschichtsmotiven anbieten. In ihrem Bestand befand sich zunächst eine Handvoll Reihen eines großen Verlages. Diese wurden jedoch schon bald durch eigene Aufnahmen mit regionalen Motiven ergänzt. Die Entwicklung der vorgeschichtlichen Diasammlung an der Sächsischen Landesbildstelle von ihren Anfängen bis 1945 soll im Folgenden umrissen werden.
Coast Salish gambling games
Creators: name: Maranda, Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The thesis examines in detail the histories and customs of Coast Salish gambling games, and looks at the game structure and its attending spirit power affiliations. Three principal sources of data were employed in the explication of the thesis: (1) pertinent ethnographical data recorded in published reference literature and archival documents, (2) information acquired from various museums on the relevant material culture in their collections and the attending documentation, (3) empirical data collected in the field through direct game observation and the interviewing of informants. The study concludes as the circumstance of Coast Salish gambling games suggests that these games are not just a simple set of rules, and that the games discussed here have, on the other hand, meaningful functions and serve as a form of social expression. As a social mechanism, Coast Salish gambling games are a forum for supernatural power. The existence of power is seen as the basic influence in Coast Salish life, and as such, powers are given meaning as ontological expressions. The gambling games are seen to be an expression of man's power affiliations. Power is an element which may affect the outcome of each gambling event, and the gambling games thereby may be an endorsement of power favour. In view of this concept, Coast Salish gambling games appear to be useful devices to measure the differential degrees or strengths of power among players. Further, it can be said that one of the functions of these games is that they give tangible and observable verification of the influence of power.

Viscous gravitational aether and the cosmological constant problem

description: Recently a notion of gravitational aether is advocated to solve the cosmological constant problem.Through the modification of the source of gravity one finds that the effective Newton's constant is source dependent so as to provide a simple but consistent way to decouple gravity from the vacuum energy.However,in the original paper the ratio of the effective Newton's constants for pressureless dust and radiation has an upper bound which is 0.75.In this paper we propose a scheme to loose this bound by introducing a bulk viscosity for the gravitational aether,and expect this improvement will provide more space for matching predictions from this theoretical programm with observational constraints.

description: For the study of ferromagnetic materials which are compatible with group-IV semiconductor spintronics, we demonstrate control of the ferromagnetic properties of Heusler-alloys Fe_3-xMn_xSi epitaxially grown on Ge(111) by tuning the Mn composition x. Interestingly, we obtain L2_1-ordered structures even for nonstoichiometric atomic compositions. The Curie temperature of the epilayers with x ~ 0.6 exceeds 300 K. Theoretical calculations indicate that the electronic structures of the nonstoichiometric Fe_3-xMn_xSi alloys become half-metallic for 0.75 < x < 1.5. We discuss the possibility of room-temperature ferromagnetic Fe_3-xMn_xSi/Ge epilayers with high spin polarization.

Virtually real : being in cyberspace
Creators: name: Leigh, M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is an autoethnographic account of my search for the sacred in cyberspace. The research was conducted in the virtual world Second Life, and in particular in two role play communities set in Ancient Egypt. Virtual worlds are often criticised as unreal, as just games. Here I explore the ontological status of virtual worlds, recognising the priority for their inhabitants of lived experience over purely rational assessments. This research is unique and important as no monograph of role play communities in Second Life has yet been published, and yet tens of millions of people spend an increasing amount of time in virtual and game worlds, often preferring them to the meatspace world. I recount my experiences with ritual in cyberspace, describing sacred virtual space, and its relationship to sacred meatspace from a Pagan perspective. I compare two initiation rituals, and describe how one produced the perception of sacred space, in both meatspace and the virtual world, while the other remained only a role play. Finally I analyse an opening of the mouth ritual to reveal the way we make sense of our own realities by building on and remixing what came before us, and to argue that there are many truths and that objectivity is impossible in the human condition. This is the story of how I became one with my avatar, despite my best efforts not to do so. Themes of the fun economy, remix culture, and copyright inform the analysis in the thesis. I explore Castronova's concept of the fun economy, the amalgam of work, play and education which characterises twenty first century life in the developed world. Freedom and fun are the motivators for the inhabitants of virtual worlds and the bounds of these are defined by copyright. This issue is examined through the lens of the Second Life permissions system and the work of Lessig and his concept of remix culture. I argue that remix culture has permeated the entirety of human history, giving examples from ancient Egypt through to the present day, and consider the implications for human culture if restrictive copyright laws continue to dominate legal frameworks, despite their failure to achieve their desired ends. Exploring our future in cyberspace though Kurzweil's concept of the singularity, I consider the possibilities of his predicted combination of the worlds of meatspace and the virtual.
