description: We propose a simple framework to understand commonly observed crisis waves in macroeconomic Agent Based models, that is also relevant to a variety of other physical or biological situations where synchronization occurs. We compute exactly the phase diagram of the model and the location of the synchronization transition in parameter space. Many modifications and extensions can be studied, confirming that the synchronization transition is extremely robust against various sources of noise or imperfections.

description: Heterogeneity has been an indispensable aspect of distributed computing throughout the history of these systems. In particular, with the increasing prevalence of accelerator technologies (e.g., GPUs and TPUs) and the emergence of domain-specific computing via ASICs and FPGA, the matter of heterogeneity and harnessing it has become a more critical challenge than ever before. Harnessing system heterogeneity has been a longstanding challenge in distributed systems and has been investigated extensively in the past. Making use of real infrastructure (such as those offered by the public cloud providers) for benchmarking the performance of heterogeneous machines, for different applications, with respect to different objectives, and under various workload intensities is cost- and time-prohibitive. To mitigate this burden, we develop an open-source simulation tool, called E2C, that can help researchers and practitioners study any type of heterogeneous computing system and measure its performance under various system configurations. E2C has an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that enables its users to easily examine system-level solutions (scheduling, load balancing, scalability, etc.) in a controlled environment within a short time and at no cost. In particular, E2C offers the following features: (i) simulating a heterogeneous computing system; (ii) implementing a newly developed scheduling method and plugging it into the system, (iii) measuring energy consumption and other output-related metrics; and (iv) powerful visual aspects to ease the learning curve for students. Potential users of E2C can be undergraduate and graduate students in computer science/engineering, researchers, and practitioners.

description: This article considers the traditional water systems of indigenous cultures and explores their innovations as unique responses to the impacts of climate change in the global south. Local communities have been living with and developing water-responsive infrastructures for generations that engage and support the complex ecosystems they inhabit. Many of these innovations improve coastal resiliency, yet remain undocumented and unexplored in the evolution of contemporary solutions. Rooted in traditional ecological knowledge, or TEK, these technologies work symbiotically with, rather than against nature, and offer examples of a more comprehensive approach to underwater and intertidal design. These innovations are Lo—TEK, a term coined by designer and author Julia Watson, that is defined as resilient infrastructures developed by indigenous people through Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) (Watson 2019). The movement to bring these innovations to the forefront of the design field counters the idea that Lo—TEK indigenous innovation is low-tech, a term often incorrectly applied to indigenous innovation that means unsophisticated, uncomplicated, and primitive. In actuality, Lo—TEK aligns to today’s sustainable values of low-energy, low-impact and low-cost, while producing complex nature-based innovations that are inherently sustainable. Lo-TEK expands the definition of contemporary technology by rebuilding our understanding of climate resilient design using indigenous knowledge and practices that are sustainable, adaptable, and borne out of necessity. Indigenous people have learned to live symbiotically with their environments, especially water. This essay will explore the Kuttanad Kayalnilam Farming System by the Malayalis in India, the Sangjiyutang Mulberry Dyke and Fish Ponds in China, and the Ramli Lagoon farms in Ghar El Melh, Tunisia. These innovations are inherently resilient to the stresses of the climate and are multi-functional, symbiotic structures themselves. While not directly intended for protection from the new challenge of sea level rise, they can inform how we can build circular water systems that work with the environment, rather than disrupting it.

description: Organic liquid scintillators have been used for decades in many neutrino physics experiments. They are particularly suited for the detection of low-energy neutrinos where energy and timing information is required. Organic liquid scintillators exhibit advantages such as high light yield, cost effectiveness, radio purity, and more. However, they also entail disadvantages, most prominently a lack of vertex resolution and particle identification. In recent years, various novel ideas have emerged to improve the performance of organic liquid scintillators. In this review, novel approaches to organic liquid scintillators in neutrino experiments as of 2022 are reviewed and their prospects and applications compared.

Riverine Women after Resettlement

Publisher: name: SPOOL
Year: 2021

description: The construction of Belo Monte Hydropower dam has resettled riverine communities from their homes to the outskirts of the city of Altamira, kilometres away and disconnected from the river. Resettlement can be a threat to both women and men’s adaptation in the new environment, whereas the lack of in-depth studies regarding gender policies and local traditional communities can create even more obstacles for women. The disconnection that stems the resettlement from these individuals has resulted in the loss of their spatial identity and livelihood. This situation caused local traditional people to share resettlement units with city dwellers, thereby jeopardising their traditions and distancing them from both the river and their livelihood.

description: Bisetaria La très grande majorité des Curvovulées ou Campylospermées ont les feuilles munies de stipules intra-axillaires, comme on dit, concrescentes par leur bord interne, sur une plus ou moins grande longueur, en une lame bidentée ou bifide; plus éxactement, les feuilles y sont, non pas stipulées, mais ligulées. Une seule espèce, jusqu'à présent, fait exception à la règle; les feuilles y sont pourvues de deux stipules latérales et libres, et ces stipules sont étirées en longues soies roides, comme dans les Sétouratées. Chez les premières, l’inflorescence est une grappe composée à divers degrés et, suivant les espèces, diversement modifiée; chez la seconde, c'est une grappe simple. Chez les premières, le périderme est d’origine sous-épidermique, c’est-àdire exodermique; chez la seconde, il est d’origine épidermique. Et il y a d’autres différences. Celles-ci suffisent à montrer qu'il y a, ici aussi, deux genres à distinguer. Au premier, comprenant la prèsque totalité des espèces de l’Ancien Monde, je donnerai le nom de Campylosperme (Campylospermum), pour rappeler la courbure de l'ovule, de la graine et de l’embryon, qui en est le caractère différentiel le plus frappant par rapport au genre Ouratée, tel qu’on vient de le restreindre. Au second, réduit pour le moment à une seule espèce, originaire de l’Afrique occidentale, je donnerai le nom de Bisétaire (Bisetaria), pour rappeler l’indépendance et la forme des stipules, par où cette plante diffère aussitôt de toutes les autres espèces de l’Ancien Monde.

description: he present research aims to explore a method of landscape reading and analysis through traditional water systems. Throughout the collection of local knowledge about water management in two opposite parts of the world it is possible to learn how natural resources have been used in local communities for hundreds of years to generate resilient, circular and multi-functional water and land management. In order to create a base knowledge to provide lessons for today’s urban challenges, we have analyzed two traditional water systems: The Xinghua Duotian agro system in China and the Chinampas floating gardens in Mexico. Through a systematic collection of data and generation of comparative drawings, maps and diagrams, we were able to understand the logic behind the water management and to extrapolate possible design and strategic principles to be applied in present landscape and urban design. To achieve the proposed objectives, the ‘illustrative method’ (Bobbink and Ruy, 2017) was used. The illustrative method is based on the form-layer method (Steenbergen et al. 2008), which is used as an analytical tool to comprehend the relation between landscape interventions and its site based in 4 basic layers: basic form, program form, image form, and special form (Bobbink, 2019). During the research process, the method was adapted in order to analyze the specific cultural landscapes used as case studies (Xinghua Duotian and Chinampas). Because the form-layer method has been developed for landscape architectonic design we found it necessary to extend the analysis in further layers to reveal other landscape values such as use, maintenance and the circularity of human made traditional water systems (Bobbink, 2019). From the analysis of both water systems, we could extract two main lessons that can help us to design and plan more resilient and sustainable cities. Firstly, the possibility of designing a method of settlement and urban expansion based on natural principles where circularity is a key element to generate a sustainable way of extraction and restoration of natural resources. And secondly, that specific landscape identities, such as wetland and lakes, can be a provider of multi-functional development for cities where agriculture, economy, urban expansion and ecology are part of the similar network. Using these principles that are the basis of the analyzed water systems, we can come back to a more sustainable, circular and multi-functional way of using our natural resources.

description: The Indonesian city of Banjarmasin, Borneo, is widely known as the ‘city of the thousand rivers.’ Residents live and work in urban settlements that occupy the river and its banks. However, modern road-oriented urbanization, overpopulation, illegal building activity, and pollution have a devastating impact. Without adequate management, Banjarmasin’s impressive river-related identity would lose its cultural and socio-economic significance. Therefore, the city government is searching for solutions to revive its river culture and to revitalize riverine settlements. In 2019, a workshop was carried out by following the HUL Quick Scan method, which is inspired by UNESCO’s Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach. This paper focuses on the outcomes of the workshop in Banjarmasin in relation to participatory revitalization of urban riverine settlements.

description: Nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH) platelets with high morphological regularity and sub-micrometre lateral dimensions were synthesized using a homogeneous precipitation technique for highly efficient catalysis of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Considering edge sites are the point of activity, efforts were made to control platelet size within the synthesized dispersions. The goal is to controllably isolate and characterize size-reduced NiFe LDH particles. Synthetic approaches for size control of NiFe LDH platelets have not been transferable based on published work with other LDH materials and for that reason, we instead use post-synthetic treatment techniques to improve edge-site density. In the end, size reduced NiFe LDH/single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composites allowed to further reduce the OER overpotential to 237 plus/minus 7 mV ( L = 0.16 plus/minus 0.01 micrometres, 20 wt% SWCNT), which is one of the best values reported to date. This approach as well improved the long term activity of the catalyst in operating conditions.

Spectra provide key insights into astrophysical phenomena but require complex reductions. Las Cumbres Observatory has six spectrographs: two low-dispersion FLOYDS instruments and four NRES high-resolution echelle spectrographs. We present an extension of the data reduction framework, BANZAI, to process spectra automatically, with no human interaction. We also present interactive tools we have developed for human vetting and improvement of the spectroscopic reduction. Tools like those presented here are essential to maximize the scientific yield from current and future time domain astronomy.

Impact of small scale inhomogeneities on observations of standard candles

description: We investigate the effect of small scale inhomogeneities on standard candle observations, such as type Ia supernovae (SNe) observations. Existence of the small scale inhomogeneities may cause a tension between SNe observations and other observations with larger diameter sources, such as the cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation. To clarify the impact of the small scale inhomogeneities, we use the Dyer-Roeder approach. We determined the smoothness parameter $α(z)$ as a function of the redshift $z$ so as to compensate the deviation of cosmological parameters for SNe from those for CMB. The range of the deviation which can be compensated by the smoothness parameter $α(z)$ satisfying $0\leqα(z)\leq1$ is reported. Our result suggests that the tension may give us the information of the small scale inhomogeneities through the smoothness parameter.

The Interesting Challenges of Designing for Humans in Space

Year: 2021

description: Extra-terrestrial living and working environments are characterized by significant challenges in logistics, environmental demands, engineering, social and psychological issues, to name a few. Everything is limited: physical volume, air, water, power, and medicine … everything, even people, and therefore all is treated as valuable resource. This situation is complicated by the end product being the result of balancing many competing interests. The relationship between humans, space, and technology is forced, as well as a dynamic process. Although mathematical models for complex systems exist, long-term effects are hard to predict, and even more so to calculate. Even if we had technological solutions for all hazards and threats, there would still be the question of how these subsystems work together, how they are perceived, and if they are accepted by the inhabitants. Habitability design is vital to the success of future space exploration. Research into the dynamic system of ‘living together in an isolated and extreme environment for a long time’ does not lead to a single common solution. Instead, designers are left trying to translate differing first-person astronaut accounts into a solution bound by the constraints of physics, schedule, and cost. The early days of human spaceflight were all about discovery. Trying to replace conjecture with experience and fact. For example, the Moon was thought to have meters of soft dust that would swallow landing spacecraft. We have built on the successes and failures, but some achievements have also been forgotten. Today, we use these lessons to create effective designs for ‘living together in the isolated and extreme environment (ICE)’ of space. Following are descriptions of historical and newer examples of possible solutions that show what can be achieved when the demanding constraints of space inspire creative solutions for combining human needs with technological possibilities.

Formation of Millisecond Pulsars with Low-Mass Helium White Dwarf Companions in Very Compact Binaries

description: Binary millisecond pulsars (BMSPs) are thought to have evolved from low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). If the mass transfer in LMXBs is driven by nuclear evolution of the donor star, the final orbital period is predicted to be well correlated with the mass of the white dwarf (WD), which is the degenerate He core of the donor. Here we show that this relation can be extended to very small WD mass ($\sim 0.14-0.17\,M_\odot$) and narrow orbital period (about a few hours), mainly depending on the metallicities of the donor stars. There is also discontinuity in the relation, which is due to the temporary contraction of the donor when the H-burning shell crosses the hydrogen discontinuity. BMSPs with low-mass He WD companions in very compact binaries can be accounted for if the progenitor binary experienced very late Case A mass transfer. The WD companion of PSR J1738+0333 is likely to evolve from a Pop~II star. For PSR J0348+0432, to explain its extreme compact orbit in the Roche lobe-decoupling phase, even lower metallicity ($Z=0.0001$) is required.

description: Red giants are stars in the late stages of stellar evolution. Because they have exhausted the supply of hydrogen in their core, they burn the hydrogen in the surrounding shell. Once the helium in the core starts fusing, the star enters the clump phase, which is identified as a striking feature in the color-magnitude diagram. Since clump stars share similar observational properties, they are heavily used in astrophysical studies, as probes of distance, extinction through the galaxy, galaxy density, and stellar chemical evolution. In this work, we perform the detailed observational characterization of the deepest layers of clump stars using asteroseismic data from Kepler. We find evidence for large core structural discontinuities in about 6.7% of the stars in our sample, implying that the region of mixing beyond the convective core boundary has a radiative thermal stratification. These stars are otherwise similar to the remaining stars in our sample, which may indicate that the building of the discontinuities is an intermittent phenomenon.

Publisher: name: SPOOL
Year: 2021

description: Sending humans to the Moon and Mars in the near future requires appropriate infrastructure to support and subsequently sustain human activities. This includes infrastructure to shield from environmental conditions, generate energy, and facilitate mobility and communication. Construction of such infrastructure aims to use in-situ resources and reduce the use of supplies from Earth. The establishment and maintenance of the required infrastructure, equipment, and hardware involves the development of adequate manufacturing techniques, which can enable maximal use of the local resources. Those techniques can be based on processing of local materials into construction materials, extraction of useful elements from local materials or in combination with materials brought from Earth. The required manufacturing techniques address the range of needs for sustained human activities, from smaller scale manufactured items to large built structures. The design of such structures is associated with a number of space systems’ engineering challenges, ranging from the accurate definition of all resource budgets (mass, volume, power, data) to the design of the interfaces between all subsystems making use of these resources. The interplanetary spacecraft used to transport the required materials (and eventually, crew) from Earth to the final site would probably need to be designed ad-hoc for this specific application, given its peculiar mass and volume constraints, especially in case a reusable concept is adopted. Other engineering aspects involved in the design of the infrastructure systems include the selection of an appropriate power generation approach and the definition of the radiation environment in order to provide sufficient shielding to the habitats. This Spool CpA #4 issue investigates challenges of designing, engineering, constructing, operating, and maintaining off-Earth infrastructure.

description: REIS stands for Reuma en Ik – Self-management and is a project to investigate self-management strategies that people with a rheumatic condition apply. Aim is to provide an overview to inspire others, inform healthcare professionals, and start new empiric research. This project is completely set up and carried out with people diagnosed with a rheumatic condition. REIS is a Dutch word and translates to 'journey'. The poster will visualize the journey we had so far when working together with people with a rheumatic condition shaping a research study. Problem space: A lot of research is being done in relation to rheumatic conditions that focus mainly on the medical perspective. Less is known about what people do themselves to cope with their chronic condition. Unfortunately, there is currently no overview available of which strategies exist, for which phase/for whom it is useful and how people with a rheumatic condition experienced this. We are changing that by conducting a survey to make an inventory of self-management strategies, their experiences (positive/negative) and barriers and facilitators related to these strategies. People with rheumatic conditions and researchers conducted this study in the following phases: 1 Is this research relevant? 2 What does self-management mean? 3 How should the questionnaire look like? 4 Is the questionnaire understandable? 5 Data collection 6 How would you interpret the results? 7 Dissemination of the results Further we will summarize the lessons learned shaping the study together.

description: We demonstrate cavity QED conditions in the Purcell regime for single quantum emitters on the surface of an optical nanofiber. The cavity is formed by combining an optical nanofiber and a nanofabricated grating to create a composite photonic crystal cavity. Using this technique, significant enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate into the nanofiber guided modes is observed for single quantum dots. Our results pave the way for enhanced on-fiber light-matter interfaces with clear applications to quantum networks.

Additive manufacturing of Lunar Regolith Simulant using Direct Ink Writing

description: This work explores the use of a lunar regolith simulant as feedstock for the direct ink writing additive manufacturing process as an option to enable future lunar in-situ resource utilisation. The feasibility of this approach is demonstrated in a laboratory setting by manufacturing objects with different geometries, using methyl cellulose or sodium alginate as binding agents, water and lunar regolith simulant to create a viscous, printable ‘ink’. A custom three-axis gantry system is used to produce green bodies for subsequent sintering. The sintered objects are characterised using compressive strength measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is proposed that the bioorganic compounds used in this work as additives could be produced in situ for a future lunar base through photosynthesis, utilising carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts together with the available sunlight. Thus, all the components used for the dispersion – additive, water, and regolith – are available in situ. The compressive strength for sintered samples produced with this method was measured to be 2.4 MPa with a standard deviation of 0.2 MPa (n = 4). It is believed, based on the high sample porosity observed during SEM analysis, that the comparatively low mechanical strength of the samples is due to a low sintering temperature, and that the mechanical strength could be increased by optimising the sintering process further.

description: Off-Earth structural design has been a subject of fascination and research for decades. Given that the vision of permanent lunar and Martian human presence is materialising, it is an opportune moment to reflect on the future applicability and challenges of off-Earth design. This article investigates contemporary thinking about off-Earth structural design – specifically focused on large-scale infrastructure such as habitats – and assesses it in terms of its sustainability. We suggest that the extra-terrestrial setting, which is characterised by resource, construction, and labour constraints, is to be analysed as an extreme case of the built environment on Earth. Subsequently, we propose that structural design methodologies originating on Earth can benefit both the off-Earth context, through their inherent material efficiency and use of local materials, and the on-Earth context, where unsustainable growth and material inefficiency dominate our built environment. As our planet rapidly heads towards a scarcity of construction materials and disruptive environmental change, what sustainability lessons can we learn from our past, and how can we apply these to extra-terrestrial construction? Finally, how can we use these lessons to futureproof our built environment?

Optimum mixed level detecting arrays

description: As a type of search design, a detecting array can be used to generate test suites to identify and detect faults caused by interactions of factors in a component-based system. Recently, the construction and optimality of detecting arrays have been investigated in depth in the case where all the factors are assumed to have the same number of levels. However, for real world applications, it is more desirable to use detecting arrays in which the various factors may have different numbers of levels. This paper gives a general criterion to measure the optimality of a mixed level detecting array in terms of its size. Based on this optimality criterion, the combinatorial characteristics of mixed level detecting arrays of optimum size are investigated. This enables us to construct optimum mixed level detecting arrays with a heuristic optimization algorithm and combinatorial methods. As a result, some existence results for optimum mixed level detecting arrays achieving a lower bound are provided for practical use.

description: We compute the non-universal constants in the KPZ equation in one dimension, in terms of the thermodynamical quantities associated to the underlying microscopic dynamics. In particular, we derive the second-order Einstein relation $λ= \frac{1}{2}\frac{d^2}{dρ^2} χ(ρ) D(ρ)$ for the transport coefficient $λ$ of the KPZ equation, in terms of the conserved quantity $ρ$, the diffusion coefficient $D$ and the static compressibility of the system $χ$.

description: In order for off-Earth top surface structures built from regolith to protect astronauts from radiation, they need to be several meters thick. Technical University Delft (TUD) proposes to excavate into the ground to create subsurface habitats. By excavating, not only can natural protection from radiation be achieved but also thermal insulation, as the temperature is more stable underground. At the same time, valuable resources can be excavated via in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). In this process, a swarm of autonomous mobile robots excavate the ground in a downwards sloping spiral movement. The excavated regolith will be mixed with cement, which can be produced on Mars through ISRU, in order to create concrete. The concrete is then 3D printed/sprayed onto the excavated tunnel to reinforce it. As soon as the tunnels are reinforced, the material between the tunnels can be removed in order to create a larger cavity that can be used for habitation. The proposed approach relies on design-to-robotic-production (D2RP) technology developed at TUD for on-Earth applications. The rhizomatic 3D-printed structure is a structurally optimized, porous shell structure with increased insulation properties. In order to regulate the indoor pressurised environment, an inflatable structure is placed inside the 3D-printed cavity. This inflatable structure is made of materials that can at some point also be produced on Mars via ISRU. Depending on location, the habitat and the production system are powered by a system combining solar and kite-power. The ultimate goal is to develop an autarkic D2RP system for building subsurface autarkic habitats on Mars from locally-obtained materials.
