description: We present a cheap, lightweight, and fast fruit counting pipeline that uses a single monocular camera. Our pipeline that relies only on a monocular camera, achieves counting performance comparable to state-of-the-art fruit counting system that utilizes an expensive sensor suite including LiDAR and GPS/INS on a mango dataset. Our monocular camera pipeline begins with a fruit detection component that uses a deep neural network. It then uses semantic structure from motion (SFM) to convert these detections into fruit counts by estimating landmark locations of the fruit in 3D, and using these landmarks to identify double counting scenarios. There are many benefits of developing a low cost and lightweight fruit counting system, including applicability to agriculture in developing countries, where monetary constraints or unstructured environments necessitate cheaper hardware solutions.

description: All existing measurements of the solar neutrino flux are compared with the predictions of the most recent solar model by Bahcall and Pinsonneault, modified by introducing the hypothesis of neutrino oscillations with mass differences large enough to render energy-independent any quantity observable on earth. It is concluded that the data are consistent with this hypothesis and that, at least for the time being, any energy-dependence of the solar neutrino deficit must be regarded as just an attractive theoretical possibility, but not as a compelling reality.

Entropic uncertainty relations and the measurement range problem, with consequences for high-dimensional quantum key distribution

description: The measurement range problem, where one cannot determine the data outside the range of the detector, limits the characterization of entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems when employing, among other tools from information theory, the entropic uncertainty relations. Practically, the measurement range problem weakens the security of entanglement-based large-alphabet quantum key distribution (QKD) employing degrees of freedom including time-frequency or electric field quadrature. We present a modified entropic uncertainty relation that circumvents the measurement range problem under certain conditions, and apply it to well-known QKD protocols. For time-frequency QKD, although our bound is an improvement, we find that high channel loss poses a problem for its feasibility. In continuous variable QKD, we find our bound provides a quantitative way to monitor for saturation attacks.

description: Localization and mapping has been an area of great importance and interest to the robotics and computer vision community. Localization and mapping has traditionally been accomplished with range sensors such as lasers and sonars. Recent improvements in processing power coupled with advancements in image matching and motion estimation has allowed development of vision based localization techniques. Despite much progress, there are disadvantages to both range sensing and vision techniques making localization and mapping that is inexpensive and robust hard to attain. With the advent of RGB-D cameras which provide synchronized range and video data, localization and mapping is now able to exploit both range data as well as RGB features. This thesis exploits the strengths of vision and range sensing localization and mapping strategies and proposes novel algorithms using RGB-D cameras. We show how to combine existing strategies and present through evaluation of the resulting algorithms against a dataset of RGB-D benchmarks. Lastly we demonstrate the proposed algorithm on a challenging indoor dataset and demonstrate improvements where either pure range sensing or vision techniques perform poorly.
A list of diagnoses associated to the correspondence "On the correct authorship, spelling, and type species of genus Dasongius (Pauropoda: Pauropodidae)"

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: We compiled ten relevant taxonomic diagnoses and rewrote them when necessary. Taxon pages were created in Myriatrix (The Fellegship of the Rings 2020 onwards) and all diagnoses were recorded on the respective taxon page, section “Diagnostic description”. Diagnoses for taxa in the higher classification of Pauropoda (class to family-group) follow Scheller (2008; 2011), the diagnosis of Pauropoda being rewritten with increased consistency. The diagnosis of the genus Dasongius follows Guo et al. (2010: 896) and Bu (2021: 240). Diagnoses of the Dasongius species follow their original descriptions, with the necessary standardization and a few corrections made in this work. To the extent possible, the diagnoses follow a morphological progression from anterior to posterior and from dorsal to ventral. The diagnoses above the species level provide an anchoring element by referring to the parent taxon in the first sentence.

description: In order to obtain a local description of the short distance physics of fractionally quantized Hall states for realistic (e.g. Coulomb) interactions, I propose to view the zeros of the ground state wave function, as seen by an individual test electron from far away, as particles. I then present evidence in support of this interpretation, and argue that the electron effectively decomposes into quark-like constituent particles of fractional charge.

Supersymmetric D-term Inflation, Reheating and Affleck-Dine Baryogenesis

description: The phenomenology of supersymmetric models of inflation, where the inflationary vacuum energy is dominated by D-terms of a U(1), is investigated. Particular attention is paid to the questions of how to arrange for sufficient e-folds of inflation to occur, what kind of thermal history is expected after the end of inflation, and how to implement successful baryogenesis. Such models are argued to require a more restrictive symmetry structure than previously thought. In particular, it is non-trivial that the decays of the fields driving D-inflation can reheat the universe in such a way as to avoid the strong gravitino production constraints. We also show how the initial conditions for Affleck-Dine baryogenesis can arise in these models and that the simplest flat directions along which baryon number is generated can often be ruled out by the constraints coming from decoherence of the condensate in a hot environment. At the end, we find that successful reheating and baryogenesis can take place in a large subset of D-inflationary models.

description: This thesis describes generational difference in understanding Georgian national identity and the Other. Political developments in Eastern Europe and the implementation process of the Association Agreement with Europe make the study particularly interesting for conflict resolution practitioners. Exploration of attitudes toward Russians and Europeans will help practitioners design appropriate intervention strategies for lessening the possibility of conflict escalation. In addition, the purpose of the qualitative study was to explore the gap among generations and to examine the possibility of civic tensions in Georgia. The study examined three age groups: youth (18-28), adult (29-49), and senior (50-75). The research findings reveal distinct differences between the age groups in the understanding of the Georgian national identity. The major generational gap is observed in the identity formation among the youth. Differently from the adult and the senior generations, they define Georgian national identity in terms of citizenship. A long with that, different perceptions of Russia create another major gap among the generations. The only time youth prefer diplomatic relations with Russia is if Russia de-occupies Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The adult and the senior generations do not have any pre-conditions for establishing diplomatic and friendly relations with Moscow. These two major gaps in understanding Georgian national identity and perception of Russia produce possibility of a civic tension among the generations.

description: Misuse and overuse of antibiotics have contributed to the rise of antimicrobial resistance as one of the top public health threats. Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are prevalent in agricultural soils due to the widespread application of livestock and organic wastes. However, information about the occurrence, distribution, and risk of antibiotics and ARGs in agricultural soils is lacking for many scenarios. In this study, based on 2225 observations from 135 independent studies, we summarized the concentration or abundance of antibiotics or ARGs under different fertilizer sources and land-use patterns, analyzed the contributions of key environmental factors to the occurrence of antibiotics and ARGs in agricultural soils, and highlighted the potential ecological risk of typical antibiotics and the relationship between ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Our results showed that cattle manure, chicken manure, swine manure, and sewage sludge were the primary pollution sources of antibiotics and ARGs in agricultural soils, and sulfonamides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and their corresponding ARGs were the main pollution types. Land-use type, soil, and climatic factors affected antibiotics concentration and ARG abundances. MGEs play a vital role in promoting the dissemination of ARGs, especially the sul1 gene is closely related to intI1. In conclusion, our findings and future research exploring these topics will contribute to better management of antibiotic and ARG contamination in agricultural soils and their risk to human health.

description: This Letter reports the first measurement of the $^{235}$U $\overline{ν_{e}}$ energy spectrum by PROSPECT, the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum experiment, operating 7.9m from the 85MW$_{\mathrm{th}}$ highly-enriched uranium (HEU) High Flux Isotope Reactor. With a surface-based, segmented detector, PROSPECT has observed 31678$\pm$304 (stat.) $\overline{ν_{e}}$-induced inverse beta decays (IBD), the largest sample from HEU fission to date, 99% of which are attributed to $^{235}$U. Despite broad agreement, comparison of the Huber $^{235}$U model to the measured spectrum produces a $χ^2/ndf = 51.4/31$, driven primarily by deviations in two localized energy regions. The measured $^{235}$U spectrum shape is consistent with a deviation relative to prediction equal in size to that observed at low-enriched uranium power reactors in the $\overline{ν_{e}}$ energy region of 5-7MeV.

A DLM immersed boundary method based wave-structure interaction solver for high density ratio multiphase flows

description: We present a robust immersed boundary (IB) method for high density ratio multiphase flows that is capable of modeling complex wave-structure interaction (WSI) problems arising in marine and coastal engineering applications. The IB/WSI methodology is enabled by combining the distributed Lagrange multiplier (DLM) method of Sharma and Patankar (J Comp Phys, 2005) with a robust level set method based multiphase flow solver. The fluid solver integrates the conservative form of the variable-coefficient incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using a hybrid preconditioner and ensures consistent transport of mass and momentum at a discrete level. The consistent transport scheme preserves the numerical stability of the method in the presence of large density ratios found in problems involving air, water, and an immersed structure. The air-water interface is captured by the level set method on an Eulerian grid, whereas the free-surface piercing immersed structure is represented on a Lagrangian mesh. The fluid-structure interaction (FSI) coupling is mediated via Peskin's regularized delta functions in an implicit manner, which obviates the need to integrate the hydrodynamic stress tensor on the complex surface of the immersed structure. The IB/WSI numerical scheme is implemented within an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) framework, in which the Lagrangian structure and the air-water interface are embedded on the finest mesh level to capture the thin boundary layers and the vortical structures arising from WSI. We use a well-balanced force discretization for gravity force that eliminates spurious velocity currents in the hydrostatic limit due to density variation in the three phases (air, water and solid). An effective wave generation and absorption technique for a numerical wave tank is presented and used to simulate a benchmark case of water wave distortion due to a submerged structure.

Implications on gender through large-scale land transactions in Ghana – a case study in the Asante Akim North District
Creators: name: Spechtl, Barbara
Publisher: name: Stichproben - Wiener Zeitschrift für kritische Afrikastudien / Vienna Journal of African Studies
Year: 2017

description: This paper deals with the consequences arising from large-scale land acquisition for the production of biofuels for affected farmers – especially in terms of gender relations. Based on a case study in the Asante Akim North District in Ghana, specific implications for men and women are being analysed under the framework of Feminist Political Ecology in order to reveal gender related implications for the access to and use of natural resources, as well as for the underlying power relations. The study concludes that land transactions lead to a destabilisation of community structures and a shift in and manifestation of existing gender relations. In addition, new dependencies and power relations are being established.

description: If the social sciences today are in need of “a new language for theorizing” (Connell 2007: 383), African Studies provide an interesting field to spell out the specificities of that challenge. How does one navigate the divergent currents of universalism and relativism? How does one deal with normativity? How does one critique, replace and transform concepts and theories derived from “Northern” contexts, and how does one develop more inclusive bases for “intercultural dialogue in conditions of diversity” (Wiredu 2004: 13)? Elísio Macamo, professor at the Centre for African Studies Basel (CASB), has become a fascinating figure in these debates, not least because he straddles some of the most unlikely divides. Drawing inspiration from both postcolonial theorists and sociological classics, from positivists and constructivists alike, Macamo has written on issues as diverse as modernity (Macamo 2005, 2010a, 2010b, 2010c, 2012, 2010), religion (2001, 2003, 2004a, 2004b, 2011a), development policy (Macamo 2006, 2010, Macamo 2014a, 2014b), risk (Bloemertz et al. 2012; Macamo 2015a), social movements (Macamo 2011b), political violence (Macamo 2014c, 2016a), African philosophy (1999; 2014; 2015b), Africa as an object of knowledge (Macamo 1999, 2014d, 2016b), urbanity (Macamo 2013; Obrist, Arlt, and Macamo 2013), youth (Macamo 2010), and technology (Macamo & Neubert 2014), and has given countless talks and interviews on further topics (see e.g. Adogame 2008). Those who have had the chance to hear Macamo speak at development conferences know about his ability to draw in different audiences to gradually entangle their humanistic concern for Africa into epistemological problems and self-interrogation.

description: Electron localization property of a random chain changing under the influence of a constant electric field has been studied. We have adopted the multifractal scaling formalism to explore the possible localization behavior in the system. We observe that the possible localization behavior with the increase of electric field is not systematic and shows strong instabilities associated with the local probability variation over the length of the chain. The multifractal scaling study captures the localization aspects along with strong instability when the electric field is changed by infinitesimal steps for a reasonably large system size.

description: We perform density functional theory calculation to investigate the structural and electronic properties of various two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, MX$_2$ (M$=$Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, or W, and X$=$S or Se), and their strain-induced phase transitions. We evaluate the relative stability and the activation barrier between the octahedral-$T$ and the trigonal-$H$ phases of each MX$_2$. It is found that the equilibrium and phase transition characteristics of MX$_2$ can be classified by the group to which its metal element M belongs in the periodic table. MX$_2$ with M in the group 4 (Ti, Zr, or Hf), forms an octahedral-$T$ phase, while that with an M in the group 6 (Cr, Mo, or W) does a trigonal-\textit{H} phase. On the other hand, MX$_2$ with M in the group 5 (V, Nb, Ta), which is in-between the groups 4 and 6, may form either phase with a similar stability. It is also found that their electronic structures are strongly correlated to the structural configurations: mostly metallic in the $T$ phase, while semiconducting in the $H$ phase, although there are some exceptions. We also explore the effects of an applied stress and find for some MX$_2$ materials that the resultant strain, either tensile or compressive, may induce a structural phase transition by reducing the transition energy barrier, which is, in some cases, accompanied by its metal-insulator transition.

description: We classify effective field theory (EFT) deformations of the Standard Model (SM) according to the analyticity property of the Lagrangian as a function of the Higgs doublet H. Our distinction in analytic and non-analytic corresponds to the more familiar one between linearly and non-linearly realized electroweak symmetry, but offers deeper physical insight. From the UV perspective, non-analyticity occurs when the new states acquire mass from electroweak symmetry breaking, and thus cannot be decoupled to arbitrarily high scales. This is reflected in the IR by the anomalous growth of the interaction strength for processes involving many Higgs bosons and longitudinally polarized massive vectors, with a breakdown of the EFT description below a scale $O(4 πv)$. Conversely, analyticity occurs when new physics can be pushed parametrically above the electroweak scale. We illustrate the physical distinction between these two EFT families by discussing Higgs boson self-interactions. In the analytic case, at the price of some unnaturalness in the Higgs potential, there exists space for $O(1)$ deviations of the cubic coupling, compatible with single Higgs and electroweak precision measurements, and with new particles out of the direct LHC reach. Larger deviations are possible, but subject to less robust assumptions about higher-dimensional operators in the Higgs potential. On the other hand, when the cubic coupling is produced by a non-analytic deformation of the SM, we show by an explicit calculation that the theory reaches strong coupling at $O(4 πv)$, quite independently of the magnitude of the cubic enhancement.

description: It is well known that conventional harmonic lattice dynamics cannot be applied to energetically unstable crystals at 0 K, such as high temperature body centered cubic (BCC) phase of crystalline Zr. Predicting phonon spectra at finite temperature requires the calculation of force constants to the third, fourth and even higher orders, however, it remains challenging to determine to which order the Taylor expansion of the potential energy surface for different materials should be cut off. Molecular dynamics, on the other hand, intrinsically includes arbitrary orders of phonon anharmonicity, however, its accuracy is severely limited by the empirical potential field used. Using machine learning method, we developed an inter-atomic potential for Zirconium crystals for both the hexagonal closed-packed (HCP) phase and the body centered cubic phase. The developed potential field accurately captures energy-volume relationship, elastic constants and phonon dispersions. The instability of BCC structure is found to originate from the double-well shape of the potential energy surface where the local maxima is located in an unstable equilibrium position. The stabilization of the BCC phase at high temperature is due to the dynamical average of the low-symmetry minima of the double well due to atomic vibrations. Molecular dynamics simulations are then performed to stochastically sample the potential energy surface and to calculate the phonon dispersion at elevated temperature. The phonon renormalization in BCC-Zr is successfully captured by the molecular dynamics simulation at 1188 K.

description: Few readers would know that the late Rudolf Leopold (1925-2010), founder of the Leopold Museum in Vienna, had an interest in African and Oceanian arts and even those aware of this, would hardly know that he assembled a collection of some 600 artefacts from Africa and Oceania. An exhibition in the Leopold Museum, entitled Fremde Götter: Faszination Afrika und Ozeanien (Foreign Gods: Fascination of Africa and Oceania), which ran from 23 September 2016 to 9 January 2017, demonstrates the extent of this interest (cf. Leopold Museum Homepage). Many of these artefacts may be viewed in this exhibition which offers a variety of objects: masks, chairs, spears, boats, etc. from numerous peoples in Africa and Oceania. Many Yoruba, Baule and Bambara artefacts as well as Asante and Fante fertility dolls are displayed. Dogon masks are also represented.

description: We develop a formalism to calculate the merger rate density of primordial black hole binaries with a general mass function, by taking into account the merger history of primordial black holes. We apply the formalism to three specific mass functions, monochromatic, power-law and log-normal cases. In the former case, the merger rate density is dominated by the single-merger events, while in the latter two cases, the contribution of the multiple-merger events on the merger rate density can not be ignored. The effects of the merger history on the merger rate density depend on the mass function.

description: This thesis uses poetry to explore the role the media plays in mass tragedies, particularly mass shootings, and to pose two central questions: What leads a person to commit such a violent act, and do these tragedies matter in the face of larger natural phenomena, such as the cycles of plants, seasons, and planets? A fictional persona, Garret, is used to represent the type of person who others may interpret as capable of committing such a violent act, and to explore the psyche and actions of such an individual. By intermingling poems from within and outside Garret’s perspective, poems from the apparent poet-speaker’s perspective, and poems from unknown or ambiguous perspectives, the thesis aims to raise questions regarding the legitimacy and believability of any one viewpoint as well as questions regarding the distinguishability, or lack thereof, between the viewpoints. Ultimately, the thesis struggles to assert both the forgettable nature of these tragedies and the hope that they not be forgotten.

description: We consider two independent q-Gaussian random variables X and Y and a function f chosen in such a way that f(X) and X have the same distribution. For 0 < q < 1 we find that at least the fourth moments of X + Y and f(X) + Y are different. We conclude that no q-deformed convolution product can exist for functions of independent q-Gaussian random variables.

description: Recently the H1 collaboration has published a ``determination'' of the structure function F_L(x,Q^2) at low x. I address the question of how reliable this determination really is. I argue that it is in fact a consistency check of a given theoretical approach rather than a real determination of the value of F_L(x,Q^2), but potentially a very useful one. I compare the consistency of different approaches, and indeed find that a LO--in--α_s calculation of structure functions is completely ruled out. I also find that the ``determined'' values of F_L(x,Q^2) are surprisingly stable under changes in theoretical approach but, when working consistently within a well-defined theoretical framework, the values of F_L(x,Q^2) implied are somewhat lower than previously quoted.

description: Magnetism is widely used for the wireless localization and actuation of robots and devices for medical procedures. However, current static magnetic localization methods suffer from large required magnets and are limited to only five degrees of freedom due to a fundamental constraint of the rotational symmetry around the magnetic axis. We present the small-scale magneto-oscillatory localization (SMOL) method, which is capable of wirelessly localizing a millimeter-scale tracker with full six degrees of freedom in deep biological tissues. The SMOL device uses the temporal oscillation of a mechanically resonant cantilever with a magnetic dipole to break the rotational symmetry, and exploits the frequency-response to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio with sub-millimeter accuracy over a large distance of up to 12 centimeters and quasi-continuous refresh rates up to 200 Hz. Integration into real-time closed-loop controlled robots and minimally-invasive surgical tools are demonstrated to reveal the vast potential of the SMOL method.

description: The far-infrared absorption of a two-dimensional electron gas with a square-lattice modulation in a perpendicular constant magnetic field is calculated self-consistently within the Hartree approximation. For strong modulation and short period we obtain intra- and intersubband magnetoplasmon modes reflecting the subbands of the Hofstadter butterfly in two or more Landau bands. The character of the absorption and the correlation of the peaks to the number of flux quanta through each unit cell of the periodic potential depends strongly on the location of the chemical potential with respect to the subbands, or what is the same, on the density of electrons in the system.

description: The synthesis of binary nanocrystal superlattices (BNSLs) enables the targeted integration of orthogonal physical properties, like photoluminescence and magnetism, into a single superstructure, unlocking a vast design space for multifunctional materials. Yet, the formation mechanism of BNSLs remains poorly understood, restricting the use of simulation to predict the structure and properties of the superlattices. Here, we use a combination of in situ scattering and molecular simulation to elucidate the self-assembly of two common BNSLs through emulsion templating. Our self-assembly experiments reveal that no intermediate structures precede the formation of the final binary phases, indicating that their formation proceeds through classical nucleation. Using simulations, we find that, despite the formation of AlB2 and NaZn13 typically being attributed to entropy, their self-assembly is most consistent with the nanocrystals possessing short-range interparticle attraction, which we find can dramatically accelerate nucleation kinetics in BNSLs. We also find homogenous, classical nucleation in simulation, corroborating our experiments. These results establish a robust correspondence between experiment and theory, paving the way towards a priori prediction of BNSLs.

description: The value of the dynamic critical exponent z has been studied for experimental two-dimensional superconducting and Josephson Junction array systems in zero magnetic field via the Fisher-Fisher-Huse dynamic scaling analysis. We found z~5.6, a relatively large value indicative of non-diffusive dynamics. We extend this work here to simulational I-V curves that are also found to be characterized by the same large value of z.
