description: In this study, a method is proposed to expand the utilization of an existing calculation model for a floor heat exchanger (HX) from room scale to small district scale. The model, namely Trnsys Type 653, is typically employed for the simulation of single or simultaneously controlled parallel heating circuits. It uses a simplified approach to calculate the heat exchange between fluid and screed, taking the HX effectiveness as an input. In order to calculate the effectiveness based on the HX design, fluid properties and mass flow rate, a Python model is developed to be coupled with Type 653. The results are compared to a reference finite element model set up in COMSOL® and depend on the HX design. The highest deviations range from over 1 K for 35 min to over 2 K for 175 min, while the lowest deviations range from below 0.5 K to below 1 K. Furthermore, the simplification of the floor HX model is analyzed by summarizing heating circuits from single rooms to a whole flat and from single flats to a whole floor. This approach results in deviations of approximately 2 and 4%, respectively, in the overall transferred heat over longer periods of time, while the switch-on frequency of the controller in an exemplary day is halved. While further analysis is required, the described simplifications seem promising for detailed district simulations with relatively low computational effort.

description: This document presents foremost a market survey, where the current status of CPS technology is divided and considered across the domains of Transportation (in particular automotive, rail, aerospace, maritime and logistics), Manufacturing, Health (Hospital, Home and Fitness) and Energy (focusing on renewables, storage, distribution and efficiency). The final section before the Conclusion begins an action for the CPS Community, considering types of customers for particular technologies. This is what is referred to specifically as Market Segmentation. While many enterprises do this internally for products, it is a new step for such information in the public domain, particularly with CPS technology typically being acquired by businesses than individual consumers. As a last note, cross cutting factors between the four domains will be treated in a later document (Demand side needs for future platforms). This will include aspects such as co-engineering, dependability, sustainability, human factors, scalability and migration from legacy systems.

description: We demonstrate the possibility to write and modulate the magnetic domain walls in a TbFeCo single layer nanowire (300 nm width, 150 $μ$m length). To realize this, a tiny magnetic domain was nucleated by an Oersted field produced by a 1.6 MHz pulse current (35 mA in amplitude, 5-40 ns in length) crossed the wire. To write the wall to the wire, a DC current was used to drive the nucleated domain (with two walls in two sides) to the wire in accordance with spin-transfer torque mechanism. A critical current density of $J_c = 3.5\times10^{10} Am^{-2}$ was required to control the motion of the walls in the wire. It was found that the size of the domain moving in the wire could be adjusted by either external field or the length of the nucleated pulse current. This could be considered as an important note for writing process in domain wall spin-torque devices, especially, memory elements.

Cross-cultural Communication as a Necessary Training Supplement for Teachers of Chinese as a Second Language

Publisher: name: CHUN - Chinesischunterricht
Year: 2023

description: The rapidly increasing number of college students and professional adults who demonstrate an enthusiasm for learning Chinese as a second language has created a new challenge for innovative global educational planning. In the context of sociolinguistics, one can envision the urgent demand for upgrading the quality of teachers for teaching Chinese as a second language through a more pragmatic approach: interacting cross-culturally for efficient communication among foreign students, teachers, and the chief administrator so as to enhance the Chinese language learning achievement on the native turf. The author proposes the above claim after seven years of continuously observing foreign students learning Chinese as a second language in Mandarin Training Center, where 900 students at varous levels of fluency form 40 counties are studying the Chinese language and culture. Through this method, culture shock can be eliminated, teacher-student relationships can be greatly augmented, and motivation and achievement can be boosted as a result of the foreign students´ ready adjustment to the new environment. In order to fully accomplish this goal, a specially designed cross-cultural communication oriented training program for teachers of Chinese as a second language will be indispensable. In the meantime, the chief administrator´s active coordination of teacher training, material development, and teacher-student relations is crucial for safeguarding a successful TCSL program that can in return lead to a cross-linguistic and cross-cultural significance.

description: The electromagnetic radiation by quark-gluon plasma in strong magnetic field is calculated. The contributing processes are synchrotron radiation and one--photon annihilation. It is shown that in relativistic heavy--ion collisions at RHIC and LHC synchrotron radiation dominates over the annihilation. Moreover, it constitutes a significant part of all photons produced by the plasma at low transverse momenta; its magnitude depends on the plasma temperature and the magnetic field strength. Electromagnetic radiation in magnetic field is probably the missing piece that resolves a discrepancy between the theoretical models and the experimental data. It is argued that electromagnetic radiation increases with the magnetic field strength and plasma temperature.

description: This paper is a supplement to the one I wrote last year *), concerning about how to teach colloquial Chinese by video. The most important advantage of using video in teaching is that the communication between students and teachers is based on reality, the contents are clear and identical. Therefore, we may enhance the student´s academic interest. On specification, we have to pay attention to the following points: Watching: Pay attention to the paragraphs of the whole story and the analysis of each period of the story; Listening: A) Understand the lines and the plot in order to possess a background knowledge for ‘speaking’; B) Learn the lively colloquial expressions from the lines; Thinking: Prepare some comprehension questions for the students to answer so as to let them acquire a better understanding of the plot. It is necessary to give them some ‘hints’ so that they will be able to observe the pictures more carfully; Speaking: Pay attention to the whole piece; Writing: Can only become a supplement to the classroom teaching but also improves the student´s colloquial Chinese; Testing: A) Watch the video; B) Record the student`s voice individually; C) Grade. It has been proved through practice that it is an admirable way for us to teach colloquial Chinese by video. *) “Kan, ting, xiang, shuo, xie – tan yong dianshi luxiang jinxing kouyu jiaoxue de ji ge huanjie”, Di yi jie guoji Hanyu jiaoxue taolunhui lunwenxuan (Beijing: Yuyan Xueyuan Chubanshe 1986), pp. 516-521.

The main results are that a time-dependent alternative metric will have constant eigenvalues, and will give rise to a time-dependent coordinate transformation which partially decouples the system.
X(3872) as a D-D* molecule bound by quark exchange forces

description: The Bethe-Salpeter equation for the T-Matrix of D-D* scattering is solved with a meson-meson potential that results from 2nd order Born approximation of quark exchange processes. This potential turns out to be complex and energy dependent due to the pole contribution from the coupling to the intermediate J/psi-rho meson pair propagator. As a consequence, a bound state with a mass close to 3.872 GeV occurs in the J/psi-rho continuum. This result suggests that quark exchange forces may provide the solution to the puzzling question for the origin of the interaction which leads to a binding of D and D* mesons in the X(3872) state.

Gpyro is a powerful open-source simulation tool to study solid pyrolysis and smouldering combustion. Grpyo stands for 'Generalized Pyrolysis Model for Combustible Solids' and was created by Dr Chris Lautenberger in 2006 at UC Berkeley. We produce this workbook to help Gpyro users. 

Due to the large number of input parameters and high degree of flexibility of the code, Gpyro beginners may found some difficulties in using this tool. We adapted a series of solid pyrolysis and smouldering cases found in the literature and show step-by-step how to use Gpyro to solve them. In the solutions, the key setting steps and simulation results are shown along with some input files attached as reference. We hope this document can serve as a complementary document to the official user-supporting files (ie. technical reference and user’s guidance) and provide more details for the implementation of Gpyro. Since it is a complementary rather than an overall user’s guidance, before reading this document, users should first read through technical reference and user’s guidance to get familiar with the basics on concepts, physical models, and implementation of Gpyro.

description: Within the theory of general relativity gravitational phenomena are usually attributed to the curvature of four-dimensional spacetime. In this context we are often confronted with the question of how the concept of ordinary physical three-dimensional space fits into this picture. In this work we present a simple and intuitive model of space for both the Schwarzschild spacetime and the de Sitter spacetime in which physical space is defined as a specified set of freely moving reference particles. Using a combination of orthonormal basis fields and the usual formalism in a coordinate basis we calculate the physical velocity field of these reference particles. Thus we obtain a vivid description of space in which space behaves like a river flowing radially toward the singularity in the Schwarzschild spacetime and radially toward infinity in the de Sitter spacetime. We also consider the effect of the river of space upon light rays and material particles and show that the river model of space provides an intuitive explanation for the behavior of light and particles at and beyond the event horizons associated with these spacetimes.

description: Gpyro is a powerful open-source simulation tool for computational study of pyrolysis and smouldering.

Due to the large number of input parameters and high degree of flexibility in specifying them, some beginning learners may still have difficulty in using this tool well, especially when applying it to investigate a specific case.

We therefore produce this document, aiming to further help Gpyro users. We adapt published researches to several typical solid pyrolysis/smouldering problems and demonstrate how to use Gpyro to solve these problems. In the solutions, the key setting steps and validated simulation results are shown along with some input files attached as reference. We hope this document can serve as a complementary document to the official user-supporting files (ie. technical reference and user’s guidance) and provide more details for the implementation of Gpyro. Since it is a complementary rather than an overall user’s guidance, before reading this document, users should first read through technical reference and user’s guidance to get familiar with the basics on concepts, physical models, and implementation of Gpyro.

description: After 1960 the interest in Chinese language increased greatly in American colleges, high schools, and elementary schools. Colleges received federal government grants to develop their language departments, and many established centers for Chinese and Asian studies. Such large universities as Yale trained their own newly hired instructors in teaching Chinese, but many college, high school, and elementary teachers had nowhere to receive training. In 1968 and 1969 the federal government provided Education Professions Development Act grants to universities to prepare high school teachers to teach Chinese language and culture. One of these was an intensive seven-week summer program at Seton Hall University that included courses in Chines language, linguistics, teaching methods, and culture. Participants were both native and non-native speakers of Chinese and had vastly different competencies in the language, in teaching skills, and in knowledge of Chinese culture. This posed a major problem. It was solved, in part, by dividing students into small groups. Another problem was the disparity in textbooks and other materials that the participants used in their schools. The staff developed special materials that all could use. One of the most valuable tools for the program was the videotaping of demonstration lessons. Participants planned and presented 30-minute lessons to high school students and then tested them. The lessons were taped and the participants received critiques as they viewed the videotapes. Much of the program´s success came from the carefully structured curriculum and the expertise of the faculty. For example, in the linguistics course, participants learned basic concepts and how to apply linguistic principles in teaching Chinese. In the Chinese literary course, participants read contemporary materials and had lectures on recent literary reforms and the outlook for the future. Part of the culture course was lectures on how painting, architecture, costumes, and other art forms reveal traditional Chinese thought. Both groups of participants made great progress. Native speakers improved considerably in teaching methods and in preparing supplemental teaching and test materials. Non-native speakers made improvements in these areas also, but their biggest gains were in oral competency and knowledge of the culture. Evaluations from the participants, faculty, and observers verified the program´s achievements.

description: Seismo-ionosphere coupling processes have been investigated considering the GPS observed anomalous ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) variations before strong earthquakes as their precursors. The numerical simulations' results of the TEC response on the vertical electric currents flowing between the Earth and ionosphere during the earthquake (EQ) preparation time have been performed. Model experiments have been carried out using the Upper Atmosphere Model. The following currents' parameters were varied in: (i) direction (to or from the ionosphere); (ii) latitudinal zone of the sources' (EQ epicenters) location; (iii) currents' configuration: (1) grid nodes with "straight" currents were surrounded by "border" grid points with currents of opposite direction ("return" currents); (2) the "return" currents were spread out over the globe; (3) without "return" currents. Numerical simulations have shown that electric currents with density of 4\times10-8 A/m2 over the area of about 200 km in longitude and 2500 km in latitude produce both positive and negative TEC disturbances with magnitude up to 35 % in agreement with GPS TEC observations before EQs.

The Impact Of Land Reform In Zimbabwe On The Conservation Of Cheetahs And Other Large Carnivores
Creators: name: Williams, Samual Thomas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2011

description: Prior to 2000 Zimbabwe was hailed as a conservation success story, with large areas of commercial (private) land outside of national parks being used to support wildlife. In 2000, however, a Fast-Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP) was initiated, resulting in the resettlement of most commercial land. This had well known socio-economic impacts, but to date little research has been conducted on the effects on wildlife and human-wildlife conflict. This study aimed to determine the impact of the FTLRP on the conservation of large carnivores and on human-carnivore conflict, focussing on the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). A case study compared three land use types (LUTs): commercial (Savé Valley Conservancy private wildlife reserve); resettlement (area of the conservancy that had been resettled); and neighbouring communal land. Spoor density of large carnivores was on average 98% lower in the resettlement LUT than the commercial LUT, while sighting reports and historical written records showed that the abundance of large carnivores had declined since the onset of the FTLRP. Aerial census data demonstrated a reduction in carnivore carrying capacity in both the commercial and resettlement areas. Habitat loss and fragmentation, alongside poaching, appeared to be the main mechanisms affecting changes in carnivore abundance. Interviews revealed that in the resettlement LUT, rates of livestock losses to large carnivores were perceived to be greater than in the communal LUT, and attitudes towards carnivores were more negative than the commercial LUT. It appears that the FTLRP had a significant negative impact on wildlife conservation and human-carnivore conflict, and is estimated to have driven a 70% decline in Zimbabwe’s cheetah population. It is recommended that future resettlement is carefully planned to mitigate these problems, and that schemes are established to allow communities to benefit from wildlife while minimising the impact of resettlement on human-wildlife conflict.

description: Urbanisation is a fundamental phenomenon whose quantitative characterisation is still inadequate. We report here the empirical analysis of a unique data set regarding almost 200 years of evolution of the road network in a large area located north of Milan (Italy). We find that urbanisation is characterised by the homogenisation of cell shapes, and by the stability throughout time of high-centrality roads which constitute the backbone of the urban structure, confirming the importance of historical paths. We show quantitatively that the growth of the network is governed by two elementary processes: (i) `densification', corresponding to an increase in the local density of roads around existing urban centres and (ii) `exploration', whereby new roads trigger the spatial evolution of the urbanisation front. The empirical identification of such simple elementary mechanisms suggests the existence of general, simple properties of urbanisation and opens new directions for its modelling and quantitative description.

description: Introduction: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are characterized by a variety of multiple cognitive and behavioral impairments, with intellectual, attentional, and executive impairments being the most commonly reported. In populations with multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, the Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) may not be a proper measure of intellectual abilities, rarely interpreted in FASD clinical practice because the heterogeneity of the cognitive profile is deemed too strong. We propose a quantitative characterization of this heterogeneity, of the strengths and weaknesses profile, and a differential analysis between global cognitive (FSIQ) and elementary reasoning abilities in a large retrospective monocentric FASD sample. Methods: Using clinical and cognitive data (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) from 107 children with FASD, we characterized subject heterogeneity (variance and scatter of scaled/composite scores), searched for strengths and weaknesses, and specified intellectual functioning in terms of FSIQ and elementary reasoning (General Abilities Index, Highest Reasoning Scaled Score), in comparison with standardization norms and a Monte-Carlo-simulated sample from normalization data. Results: Performance of children with FASD was lower on all subtests, with a significant weakness in working memory and processing speed. We found no increase in the variance and scatter of the scores, but a discordance between the assessment of global cognitive functioning (28% borderline, 23% deficient) and that of global and elementary reasoning abilities (23–9% borderline, 15–14% deficient). Conclusion: Our results question the notion of WISC profile heterogeneity in FASD and point to working memory and processing speed over-impairment, with global repercussions but most often preserved elementary reasoning abilities.

description: (Document updated with version 8186 of Feb 2020) Gpyro is a powerful open-source simulation tool to study solid pyrolysis and smouldering combustion. Grpyo stands for 'Generalized Pyrolysis Model for Combustible Solids' and was created by Dr Chris Lautenberger in 2006 at UC Berkeley. We produce this workbook to help Gpyro users. Due to the large number of input parameters and high degree of flexibility of the code, Gpyro beginners may found some difficulties in using this tool. We adapted a series of solid pyrolysis and smouldering cases found in the literature and show step-by-step how to use Gpyro to solve them. In the solutions, the key setting steps and simulation results are shown along with some input files attached as reference. We hope this document can serve as a complementary document to the official user-supporting files (ie. technical reference and user’s guidance) and provide more details for the implementation of Gpyro. Since it is a complementary rather than an overall user’s guidance, before reading this document, users should first read through technical reference and user’s guidance to get familiar with the basics on concepts, physical models, and implementation of Gpyro.

description: This research aimed at finding out the current customers" perception towards electronic banking service of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia as a case study. The study used customers" benefit perception and risk perception as independent variables to identify the actual usage of e-banking service. The study examined customers" perception regarding with benefits and risks associated within the context of CBE E-banking services using a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with some modification to guide the research. The study followed survey method and samples of 400 respondents were taken from CBE customers using purposive sampling technique. The data was analyzed and tested using linear regression to show the effects of perceived benefit and perceived risk on usage of E-banking service. Based on the statistical analysis, perceived benefit was found to have a significant positive effect on usage of E-banking services, this was the reason why customers" perception on risks associated with E-banking service could not totally restrict customers from using E-banking products

description: The engineering challenge of rolling bearing condition monitoring has led to a large number of method developments over the past few years. Most commonly, vibration measurement data are used for fault diagnosis using machine learning algorithms. In current research, purely data-driven deep learning methods are becoming increasingly popular, aiming for accurate predictions of bearing faults without requiring bearing-specific domain knowledge. Opposing this trend in popularity, the present paper takes a more traditional approach, incorporating domain knowledge by evaluating a variety of feature engineering methods in combination with a random forest classifier. For a comprehensive feature engineering study, a total of 42 mathematical feature formulas are combined with the preprocessing methods of envelope analysis, empirical mode decomposition, wavelet transforms, and frequency band separations. While each single processing method and feature formula is known from the literature, the presented paper contributes to the body of knowledge by investigating novel series connections of processing methods and feature formulas. Using the CWRU bearing fault data for performance evaluation, feature calculation based on the processing method of frequency band separation leads to particularly high prediction accuracies, while at the same time being very efficient in terms of low computational effort. Additionally, in comparison with deep learning approaches, the proposed feature engineering method provides excellent accuracies and enables explainability.

Sumset and Inverse Sumset Inequalities for Differential Entropy and Mutual Information

description: The sumset and inverse sumset theories of Freiman, Plünnecke and Ruzsa, give bounds connecting the cardinality of the sumset $A+B=\{a+b\;;\;a\in A,\,b\in B\}$ of two discrete sets $A,B$, to the cardinalities (or the finer structure) of the original sets $A,B$. For example, the sum-difference bound of Ruzsa states that, $|A+B|\,|A|\,|B|\leq|A-B|^3$, where the difference set $A-B= \{a-b\;;\;a\in A,\,b\in B\}$. Interpreting the differential entropy $h(X)$ of a continuous random variable $X$ as (the logarithm of) the size of the effective support of $X$, the main contribution of this paper is a series of natural information-theoretic analogs for these results. For example, the Ruzsa sum-difference bound becomes the new inequality, $h(X+Y)+h(X)+h(Y)\leq 3h(X-Y)$, for any pair of independent continuous random variables $X$ and $Y$. Our results include differential-entropy versions of Ruzsa's triangle inequality, the Plünnecke-Ruzsa inequality, and the Balog-Szemerédi-Gowers lemma. Also we give a differential entropy version of the Freiman-Green-Ruzsa inverse-sumset theorem, which can be seen as a quantitative converse to the entropy power inequality. Versions of most of these results for the discrete entropy $H(X)$ were recently proved by Tao, relying heavily on a strong, functional form of the submodularity property of $H(X)$. Since differential entropy is {\em not} functionally submodular, in the continuous case many of the corresponding discrete proofs fail, in many cases requiring substantially new proof strategies. We find that the basic property that naturally replaces the discrete functional submodularity, is the data processing property of mutual information.

description: The growth experience of virtually all but the very rich countries is best explained as a combination of high and low growth episodes. Therefore, there is a need to under- stand the sources of growth during high and low growth regimes and in particular the influences as growth regimes change. This paper approaches the issue by combining the derivation of structural breaks in economic growth with nonparametric growth accounting that enables the decomposition of productivity changes into technologi- cal and effciency changes. The results show that even in the medium run growth rate changes are mainly the result of productivity changes whereas factor accumula- tion plays only a minor role. Except for high income countries productivity changes usually represent effciency changes. A comparison of growth take-offs and growth collapses reveals that factor accumulation is even less important in periods of acceler- ating growth.

description: Seamless continuity is the main goal in fourth generation Wireless networks (FGWNs), to achieve this "HANDOVER" technique is used, when a mobile terminal(MT) is in overlapping area for service continuity, Handover mechanism are mainly used. In Heterogeneous wireless networks main challenge is continual connection among the different networks like WiFi, WiMax, WLAN, WPAN etc. In this paper, Vertical handover decision schemes are compared and Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) is used to choose the best network from the available Visitor networks (VTs) for the continuous connection by the mobile terminal. In our work we mainly concentrated to the handover decision phase and to reduce the processing delay in the period of handover. MADM algorithms SAW and TOPSIS where compared to reduce the processing delay by using NS2 to evaluate the parameters for processing delay.

description: We study the backaction of a driven nonlinear resonator on a multi-level superconducting qubit. Using unitary transformations on the multi-level Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian and quantum optics master equation, we derive an analytical model that goes beyond linear response theory. Within the limits of validity of the model, we obtain quantitative agreement with experimental and numerical data, both in the bifurcation and in the parametric amplification regimes of the nonlinear resonator. We show in particular that the measurement-induced dephasing rate of the qubit can be rather small at high drive power. This is in contrast to measurement with a linear resonator where this rate increases with the drive power. Finally, we show that, for typical parameters of circuit quantum electrodynamics, correctly describing measurement-induced dephasing requires a model going beyond linear response theory, such as the one presented here.

description: Due to a large number of degrees of freedom and connected powertrain functionalities, the development of operating strategies for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is an especially complex task. Besides optimizations of drivability, noise, vibrations and harshness as well as energy efficiency, the main challenge lies in ensuring emissions conformity. For this purpose, test vehicles are typically applied to achieve a realistic test and validation environment. However, operating strategy calibration using test vehicles has the drawbacks, that (i) it is very time consuming and cost intensive, (ii) it can only be conducted in late development phases and (iii) cannot be applied to reproducing driving loads for a valid comparison. To overcome these issues, this paper presents a consistent engine-in-the-loop approach combining real engine hardware and multiple software elements to represent PHEV behavior at the engine test bench. Thereby, an environment is created, which allows for realistic, flexible, cost efficient and reproducible testing. The effectiveness of the presented framework is evaluated by comparing relevant on-road measurements with their reproduction at the engine test bench. The results show that the vehicle on-road behavior can be replicated using the described testing environment. Particularly engine start/stop behavior and load levels — the core functionalities for operating strategy calibration — are matched. The proven level of realism in powertrain behavior enables further use cases beyond on-road measurement reproduction, i.e. varying individual component properties and observing real-world consequences at the test bench without the need for vehicle tests.
