description: Für junge Kinder sind Freundschaften in erster Linie ein Ausdruck gemeinsamer Interessen („wir sind Freunde, weil wir beide gerne Fußball spielen“); erst im Verlauf der Grundschule rücken Aspekte wie Akzeptanz, Vertrauen, Aufrichtigkeit, wechselseitige Bewunderung und Loyalität in den Vordergrund, und Kinder entwickeln ein Verständnis davon, dass es ein zentrales Merkmal von Freundschaften ist, den anderen zu verstehen und verstanden zu werden. Die Fähigkeit, andere zu verstehen, ist eine zentrale menschliche, sozialkognitive Kompetenz, die sich bis weit in die Grundschule hinein entwickelt. Der vorliegende Beitrag bietet eine entwicklungspsychologische Perspektive auf das Thema Freundschaften und geht der Frage nach, inwiefern die sozialkognitiven Kompetenzen von Grundschulkindern mit dem Schließen von Freundschaften zusammenhängen. Hierzu werden zunächst die Entwicklung sozialkognitiver Fähigkeiten im Grundschulalter sowie zentrale Verfahren zur Messung dieser Kompetenz vorgestellt. Ein Überblick über den Forschungsstand zeigt signifikante, jedoch schwache Zusammenhänge zwischen den sozialkognitiven Fähigkeiten und der Beliebtheit von Grundschulkindern innerhalb ihrer Peer-Gruppe sowie ihrer Einsamkeit auf. Dies spricht dafür, dass sozialkognitive Kompetenzen zwar eine Rolle beim Schließen und Aufrechterhalten von Freundschaften spielen, weitere Aspekte (wie beispielsweise soziale Präferenzen) jedoch berücksichtigt werden müssen, wenn erklärt werden soll, weshalb sich Kinder in der Quantität und Qualität ihrer Freundschaften unterscheiden. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Übersicht über Förder- und Trainingsprogramme, die Lehrkräfte in der Grundschule einsetzen können, um die sozialkognitiven Fähigkeiten der Schüler*innen zu fördern. Eine erfolgreiche Implementierung solcher Trainingsprogramme kann einen wichtigen Beitrag dazu leisten, Kinder in die Lage zu versetzen, ihr soziales Umfeld entsprechend ihrer sozialen Präferenzen zu gestalten.

iQonic_D5.1 Feasible Defect Management Strategies in the IQONIC Use-Cases
Creators: name: Polimi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: This document reports the Deliverable 5.1 (D5.1) within Work Package 5 (WP5) – Defect Life-Cycle Management, Disassembly and Remanufacturing of the project Innovative Strategies, Sensing and Process Chains for Increased Quality, Reconfigurability, and Recyclability of Manufacturing Optoelectronics (iQonic) funded by European Commission under the H2020-DT-FOF-03-2018 Innovative Manufacturing of Opto-electrical Parts, coordination and support topic under the grant agreement N 820677.
 D5.1 contains the identification of the several defect causes existing within the project use-cases linked to the respective feasible defect management actions that can be implemented to avoid these in-process defects to be propagated to the final product and lean towards Zero-Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) in multi-stage production systems. In the context of this deliverable, a “Use-case” is intended as the specific end- user business context in which the iQonic solutions will be validated. A common framework has been developed and the detailed information extracted from the project use-cases have been populated in a formal way. This work is preliminary and functional to the ongoing technical developments within WP5.
Stable pulse generation in bias pumped gain-switched fiber laser

description: We demonstrate gain-switched fiber laser with bias pumping plays an important role in regulating chaotic relaxation spikes. Under certain conditions the profile of output pulse from gain-switched fiber laser can keep the same shape as that of pump pulse. Bias pumping technique may have significance in increasing output stable pulse energy in gain-switched fiber laser. Gain-switched fiber laser with bias pumping may be interesting for some applications in micro-processing and thin film removal.
Multiple testing with discrete data: proportion of true null hypotheses and two adaptive FDR procedures

description: We consider multiple testing with false discovery rate (FDR) control when p-values have discrete and heterogeneous null distributions. We propose a new estimator of the proportion of true null hypotheses and demonstrate that it is less upwardly biased than Storey's estimator and two other estimators. The new estimator induces two adaptive procedures, i.e., an adaptive Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure and an adaptive Benjamini-Hochberg-Heyse (BHH) procedure. We prove that the the adaptive BH procedure is conservative non-asymptotically. Through simulation studies, we show that these procedures are usually more powerful than their non-adaptive counterparts and that the adaptive BHH procedure is usually more powerful than the adaptive BH procedure and a procedure based on randomized p-value. The adaptive procedures are applied to a study of HIV vaccine efficacy, where they identify more differentially polymorphic positions than the BH procedure at the same FDR level.
description: This version is essentially a different paper than the previous one. A new estimator of the proportion of true null hypotheses has been developed, and it induces two adaptive FDR procedures. One such procedure has been proved to be conservative non-asymptotically, and the other has been empirically shown to be conservative

Fermionic pentagons and NMHV hexagon
Creators: name: Belitsky, A. V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the near-collinear limit of the null polygonal hexagon super Wilson loop in the planar N = 4 superYang-Mills theory. We focus on its Grassmann components which are dual to next-to-maximal helicity-violating (NMHV) scattering amplitudes. The kinematics in question is studied within a framework of the operator product expansion that encodes propagation of excitations on the background of the color flux tube stretched between the sides of Wilson loop contour. While their dispersion relation is known to all orders in 't Hooft coupling from previous studies, we find their form factor couplings to the Wilson loop. This is done making use of a particular tessellation of the loop where pentagon transitions play a fundamental role. Being interested in NMHV amplitudes, the corresponding building blocks carry a nontrivial charge under the SU(4) R-symmetry group. Restricting the current consideration to twist-two accuracy, we analyze two-particle contributions with a fermion as one of the constituents in the pair. We demonstrate that these nonsinglet pentagons obey bootstrap equations that possess consistent solutions for any value of the coupling constant. To confirm the correctness of these predictions, we calculate their contribution to the super Wilson loop demonstrating agreement with recent results to four-loop order in 't Hooft coupling.

description: The paper describes the findings of a geographical mapping and analysis of residential care facilities in four regions of Ghana. The mapping exercise study identified 24 residential facilities with 944 children, amounting to 22% of residential facilities and 27% of children in residential facilities in Ghana. Most of the residential facilities were privately run with their budgets funded by international donors. Seventy-five percent of the residential facilities were unlicensed because they did not meet the national standards for residential care facilities. Most of the children in the 24 residential facilities were male and aged 11 to 17 years. Nine percent of the children in the residential facilities were 0-3 years, but 28% had been admitted aged 0 to three years. The average length of time the children spent in the residential facilities ranged between three and five years. In many of the residential facilities, the main reason for children's admission was poverty-related without involvement of social welfare officers. The implications for future service development emerging out of the study include ensuring that the residential facilities are licensed and have functional administrative systems to enumerate the children in their care, screen volunteers before they work in the facilities and reunify children in care because of poverty.

description: This deliverable reports the work that has been done in the context of T4.3 - “Clinical Decision Support System (DSS), with Visual Analytic Tools”. The main objective of this task to design and implement the decision support visualization component of the iHelp platform. On top of this, the ultimate goal of the DSS is to allow different stakeholders to run analytic functions and visualize analytic results in order to support and decision and policy making.
 This task started in the fourth month (M4) of the project, thus this deliverable presents the results achieved during these first eight months of this task. In this context, a prototype of the DSS component has been designed and initially implemented. The DSS prototype allows the definition of dashboards to visualize analytic results, the definition of analytic workflows and visualization of stored data by defining queries with low code. In addition, the DSS implementation is based on Node-RED, a browser-based editor for defining data flows by connecting predefined nodes, hence it follows the same principles. During the next months of the project this prototype will be enhanced taking into account all the requirements of the pilots in the iHelp project and integrated with the rest of iHelp components. To this end, at Μ22 the second prototype of the DSS will be presented in the context of D4.7 - “iHelp DSS suite with visual analytics II”, and at M32 the final version of the DSS will be reported in the context of D4.8 - “iHelp DSS suite with visual analytics III”.

description: As the transition to cleaner and more efficient systems for cooling and heating speeds up, it becomes more and more relevant to manage their electrical consumption to avoid overloading the electrical grid. The focus of this work is on recognizing the operational state of heat pump (HP) systems on the basis of smart meter data. For this purpose, we illustrate the application of time series classification methods and deep learning models on a monitoring data set that includes ground truth information of the HP operating state. Potentially, the information of HP state of operation can facilitate their integration to the grid.

title: Why we decided to transition from residential to family-based care
Creators: name: Horvath, Laura
name: Nabieu, Mohamed
name: Curtiss, Melody
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2019

description: The Child Rescue Centre became the first orphanage in Sierra Leone to fully transition from residential to family-based care. The decision to transition was made for many reasons, but the most unique reason is found in the story of Child Rescue Centre Director, Mohamed Nabieu. Nabieu, brought to the orphanage in 2000, and spent the majority of his childhood in the facility before returning as its Director. Following a 2016 directive from the Sierra Leonean government working with UNICEF for all orphanages to develop plans for de-institutionalization, Nabieu and Dr. Laura Horvath of Helping Children Worldwide began discussing research on the care of orphans and vulnerable children. The global research in support of de-institutionalisation was borne out by anecdotal evidence collected over 16 years at the orphanage, including Nabieu's own experiences. That ultimately led the Child Rescue Centre and Helping Children Worldwide to collaborate on a plan to close the residential centre and shift focus to family support. By the summer of 2018, they had successfully reintegrated the children into biological, kinship or foster care, closing the residential programme.

Linearly Solvable Stochastic Control Lyapunov Functions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: This paper presents a new method for synthesizing stochastic control Lyapunov functions for a class of nonlinear stochastic control systems. The technique relies on a transformation of the classical nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equation to a linear partial differential equation for a class of problems with a particular constraint on the stochastic forcing. This linear partial differential equation can then be relaxed to a linear differential inclusion, allowing for relaxed solutions to be generated using sum of squares programming. The resulting relaxed solutions are in fact viscosity super/subsolutions, and by the maximum principle are pointwise upper and lower bounds to the underlying value function, even for coarse polynomial approximations. Furthermore, the pointwise upper bound is shown to be a stochastic control Lyapunov function, yielding a method for generating nonlinear controllers with pointwise bounded distance from the optimal cost when using the optimal controller. These approximate solutions may be computed with non-increasing error via a hierarchy of semidefinite optimization problems. Finally, this paper develops a-priori bounds on trajectory suboptimality when using these approximate value functions, as well as demonstrates that these methods, and bounds, can be applied to a more general class of nonlinear systems not obeying the constraint on stochastic forcing. Simulated examples illustrate the methodology.

description: We study which groups with pairing can occur as the Jacobian of a finite graph. We provide explicit constructions of graphs whose Jacobian realizes a large fraction of odd groups with a given pairing. Conditional on the generalized Riemann hypothesis, these constructions yield all groups with pairing of odd order, and unconditionally, they yield all groups with pairing whose prime factors are sufficiently large. For groups with pairing of even order, we provide a partial answer to this question, for a certain restricted class of pairings. Finally, we explore which finite abelian groups occur as the Jacobian of a simple graph. There exist infinite families of finite abelian groups that do not occur as the Jacobians of simple graphs.

description: The computation of the winning set for parity objectives and for Streett objectives in graphs as well as in game graphs are central problems in computer-aided verification, with application to the verification of closed systems with strong fairness conditions, the verification of open systems, checking interface compatibility, well-formedness of specifications, and the synthesis of reactive systems. We show how to compute the winning set on $n$ vertices for (1) parity-3 (aka one-pair Streett) objectives in game graphs in time $O(n^{5/2})$ and for (2) k-pair Streett objectives in graphs in time $O(n^2 + nk \log n)$. For both problems this gives faster algorithms for dense graphs and represents the first improvement in asymptotic running time in 15 years.
title: Representations of 'family' in residential care : perspectives from residential care staff in Zimbabwe
Creators: name: Dadirai Gwenzi, Getrude
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2019

description: There has been an increasing emphasis on the provision of family-style residential care for children in alternative care globally, the aim of which is to create a family environment for children without parental care. Few studies have explored the dynamics within family-style institutions, particularly the relationships between children and residential care staff. Additionally, family-style settings mimic 'real' families, but few studies have explored how the family in residential care is conceptualised. Using empirical evidence from residential caregivers (n=23) in family-style institutions in Zimbabwe, the article discusses how 'family' is represented in residential care, including the challenges associated with this type of paid, non-biological and temporal 'family' form. Study findings suggest that residential caregivers and children live within a physical space that allows them to enact 'family practices', such as eating together and sharing cultural values. However, the behaviour of the children and the rules of child discipline and child rights affect the extent to which residential caregivers can 'parent' in residential care. This brings into question the 'family' nature of residential care. The study makes recommendations for policy and practice related to child welfare practice in residential care.

description: Let $X$ be a proper, geodesically complete CAT(0) space under a proper, non-elementary, isometric action by a group $Γ$ with a rank one element. We construct a generalized Bowen-Margulis measure on the space of unit-speed parametrized geodesics of $X$ modulo the $Γ$-action. Although the construction of Bowen-Margulis measures for rank one nonpositively curved manifolds and for CAT(-1) spaces is well-known, the construction for CAT(0) spaces hinges on establishing a new structural result of independent interest: Almost no geodesic, under the Bowen-Margulis measure, bounds a flat strip of any positive width. We also show that almost every point in $\partial_\infty X$, under the Patterson-Sullivan measure, is isolated in the Tits metric. (For these results we assume the Bowen-Margulis measure is finite, as it is in the cocompact case). Finally, we precisely characterize mixing when $X$ has full limit set: A finite Bowen-Margulis measure is not mixing under the geodesic flow precisely when $X$ is a tree with all edge lengths in $c \mathbb Z$ for some $c > 0$. This characterization is new, even in the setting of CAT(-1) spaces. More general (technical) versions of these results are also stated in the paper.

description: Under the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup $\{U_t\}$, any non-negative measurable $f : \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R_+$ exhibits a uniform tail bound better than that implied by Markov's inequality and conservation of mass: For every $α\geq e^3$, and $t > 0$, \[ γ_n\left(\left\{x \in \mathbb R^n : U_t f(x) > α\int f\,dγ_n\right\}\right) \leq C(t) \frac{1}α \sqrt{\frac{\log \log α}{\log α}}\] where $γ_n$ is the $n$-dimensional Gaussian measure and $C(t)$ is a constant depending only on $t$. This confirms positively the Gaussian limiting case of Talagrand's convolution conjecture (1989). This is shown to follow from a more general phenomenon. Suppose that $f : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}_+$ is {\em semi-log-convex} in the sense that for some $β> 0$, for all $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, the eigenvalues of $\nabla^2 \log f(x)$ are at least $-β$. Then $f$ satisfies a tail bound asymptotically better than that implied by Markov's inequality.

description: We provide a unified description of efficiency correction and error estimation for moments of conserved quantifies in heavy-ion collisions. Moments and cumulants are expressed in terms of the factorial moments, which can be easily corrected for the efficiency effect. By deriving the covariance between factorial moments, one can obtain the general error formula for the efficiency corrected moments based on the error propagation derived from the Delta theorem. The skellam distribution based Monto Carlo simulation is used to test the Delta theorem and Bootstrap error estimation methods. The statistical errors calculated from the two methods can well reflect the statistical fluctuations of the efficiency corrected moments.

description: Earth material is environmentally more sustainable than traditional building materials, such as bricks and blocks. The benefits of earth construction are multiple, especially with regard to the uniqueness as a way of preserving the artisanship and cultural values of architectural heritage. Unfortunately, construction professionals in the United Kingdom are unfamiliar with many aspects of earthen architecture. A number of interrelated barriers inhibit the acceptance of earth-based material and make it an unpopular choice among construction professionals in the UK. The aim of this study is to develop an understanding of such barriers by identifying and analysing them in light of perceptions held across societies, cultures, and acceptability among professionals. To get to the aim, an interpretivist philosophical stance was taken in this research and a critical analysis of up-to-date literature on various barriers was carried out. The Delphi technique and in-depth interviews were then overseen to substantiate which barriers hindering the acceptability of earth-based material in UK urban construction. A series of interconnected barriers such as, absence of supply chain networks, prejudicial conflict, reticence to changing familiar methods of construction as well as lack of knowledge, skill, and training were identified by experts as the key factors hindering the acceptability of earth-based construction material in the UK.

description: Long-term studies examining the impact of timber harvest on bat populations are rare yet crucial to bat conservation. The northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), recently listed as federally endangered, is a clutter-adapted tree roosting bat that is heavily impacted by white-nose syndrome (WNS). Due to its endangered status and dependence on forests for roosting and foraging, it is important to investigate if timber harvest practices adversely impact this species’ persistence. We used 471 nights of bat capture records spanning 17 years (2006–2022) of work on a managed central hardwood forest in Indiana. Using a generalized additive mixed model framework, we examined the effect of ongoing timber harvest within a 500-meter buffer of each capture site (n = 66) on presence/absence and predicted count for northern long-eared bats, accounting for confounding factors like disease (i.e., WNS) and changing survey efforts. We found that WNS, not timber harvest, has driven declines in northern long-eared bats in managed hardwood forests in Indiana. Northern long-eared bat predicted probability of presence and count peaked in 2013, shortly after the first detection of WNS in the study area, and drastically declined until the last survey year in our dataset (2022). Density of recent timber openings (≤ 10 years old) and historic openings (> 10 years old) within a 500-meter buffer of the capture sites did not affect the predicted probability of presence or count of northern long-eared bats. However, predicted counts declined for capture sites where percent recent thinning (≤ 10 years) comprised >75% of the buffer area. This demonstrates that there may be thresholds in northern long-eared bat responses to timber harvests. Overall, we document that northern long-eared bats can coexist with some degree of timber harvest and that WNS is the primary driver of change in northern long-eared bat populations.

description: The study provides an assessment of sand dredging activities from the bottom of the sea during 2016 in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Total Suspended Solids were analyzed from 2010 until 2016 in the northern and eastern locations according to the Manual of oceanographic observations and pollutant analyses methods. Fifty five percent of sand dredging companies complied with some legislation such as air quality and occupational health. Almost all lacked any compliancy evidence supporting environmental protection. Only 9% of these sand companies use siltation processes to the dredged materials. Siltation is an important step to avoid dispersion of sand into the marine environment. Ambient Total Suspended Solids was around 6.1 mgl−1 ± Standard Error and the study recommends 10 mgl−1 level as an accepted concentration in samples taken from 500 meters away from the dredgers and 100 mgl−1 in samples taken from the middle of the generated silt plumes. The effect of climatic temperatures, dust storms and rain levels on seawater Total Suspended Solids concentration has been briefly discussed. The study concludes no significance seasonal or spatial variation on the ambient Total Suspended Solids concentration. It recommends coupling remote sensing with the conventional data collection and integration of modelling efforts for effective cost benefit monitoring and management of the coastal waters.
A note on algebraic rank, matroids, and metrized complexes

description: We show that the algebraic rank of divisors on certain graphs is related to the realizability problem of matroids. As a consequence, we produce a series of examples in which the algebraic rank depends on the ground field. We use the theory of metrized complexes to show that equality between the algebraic and combinatorial rank is not a sufficient condition for smoothability of divisors, thus giving a negative answer to a question posed by Caporaso, Melo, and the author.

description: The Arabian Gulf is exposed to intensive dust storms during summer until early winter. We investigated the nutritive effect of the dust on microbial biodiversity of the water column and the productivity of the Gulf. We collected samples from three sites in a transect perpendicular to the shore in March (before the strong dust storms) and in October (after the dust season) in 2013. At the three sites, we sampled the water column at three depths, and see-floor sediments using a HAPS corer. We also sampled the sand dunes that are the source of the dust. We analyzed the samples for pigments, microbial community composition using a 16S rRNA analysis, and nutrients. Our results showed that species richness and biodiversity were higher in October than in March. The relative abundances of key-player microorganisms were strongly pronounced in October. We assume that the dust rapidly sinks to the seafloor where the nutrients Fe and P are liberated through iron reduction. Assuming that all phosphate diffusing from the seafloor originates from the dust particles after deposition, we estimated a contribution of minimum 30,000 tons of fish produced every year in the Gulf. We found no close temporal coupling between dust storms and productivity. This is because nutrient liberation from the seafloor is slow and its transport from the seafloor to the photic zone by circulation processes is irregular. This study highlights the importance of dust as a source of nutrients in the Gulf ecosystem.

description: This document was developed as an output of the project SACRO (Semi-Automatic checking of Research Outputs). This work is funded by UK research and Innovation [Grant Number MC_PC_23006] as part of Phase 1 of the DARE UK (Data and Analytics Research Environments UK) programme, delivered in partnership with Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) and Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK).
This document has three sections, plus references:
Part I discusses the operational and statistical theory underlying all aspects of output statistical disclosure control (OSDC). It is intended for those who want a deeper understanding of the concepts underlying practical and efficient OSDC.
Part II is the practical manual, intended to be a reference for users and output checkers. It lists the rules (or rules-of-thumb) to be followed for all possible outputs, organised by class. For each class of statistics, the manual presents a quick summary, an example, a discussion of the key risks, a rationale for any rules applied, and guidelines on how to evaluate the output if an exception is requested. A detailed statistical explanation of the risk assessment is not given, but other works are referenced for those interested. A separate chapter discusses graphs.
Part III provides FAQs on both statistics and outputs, plus some guidance for output checkers on how to respond to queries

description: A Mach 2.25 zero-pressure gradient nozzle was designed and machined using computational tools to generate a zero-pressure gradient boundary layer nozzle. The new test section allows optical access and high-frequency probe-based measurements to characterize the boundary layer, including pressure, skin friction, and heat flux measurements. Furthermore, low and high-frequency surface techniques characterized a Mach 4 to 6 nozzle with an accelerating boundary layer. Schlieren imaging was used to describe the starting behavior of the nozzle in combination with high-frequency skin friction and pressure data. A diffuser was designed and characterized to allow for starting the nozzle at Mach numbers above 4. Finally, a 40 kHz, sub 1 μsec exposure time-calibrated schlieren was developed and demonstrated with a boundary layer of a Mach 2 accelerating test section. The desired framerate was achieved through the use of high-frequency cameras. The desired exposure time was achieved through the use of a CAVILUX Smart UHS pulsed light source, decreasing exposure time to the range between 10 ns and 30 ns. Applying the calibrated schlieren technique to the turbulent boundary layer generated an averaged image of the density gradient as well as wall normal profiles of the density gradient. A preliminary uncertainty analysis was completed using the calibrated schlieren process.

Asymptotically Optimum Perfect Universal Steganography of Finite Memoryless Sources

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: A solution to the problem of asymptotically optimum perfect universal steganography of finite memoryless sources with a passive warden is provided, which is then extended to contemplate a distortion constraint. The solution rests on the fact that Slepian's Variant I permutation coding implements first-order perfect universal steganography of finite host signals with optimum embedding rate. The duality between perfect universal steganography with asymptotically optimum embedding rate and lossless universal source coding with asymptotically optimum compression rate is evinced in practice by showing that permutation coding can be implemented by means of adaptive arithmetic coding. Next, a distortion constraint between the host signal and the information-carrying signal is considered. Such a constraint is essential whenever real-world host signals with memory (e.g., images, audio, or video) are decorrelated to conform to the memoryless assumption. The constrained version of the problem requires trading off embedding rate and distortion. Partitioned permutation coding is shown to be a practical way to implement this trade-off, performing close to an unattainable upper bound on the rate-distortion function of the problem.
