description: When we communicate with other humans, we do not simply generate a sequence of words. Rather, we use our cognitive state (beliefs, desires, intentions) and our model of the audience's cognitive state to create utterances that affect the audience's cognitive state in the intended manner. An important part of cognitive state is the common ground, which is the content the speaker believes, and the speaker believes the audience believes, and so on. While much attention has been paid to common ground in cognitive science, there has not been much work in natural language processing. In this paper, we introduce a new annotation and corpus to capture common ground. We then describe some initial experiments extracting propositions from dialog and tracking their status in the common ground from the perspective of each speaker.

description: A Quantum Point Contact (QPC) causes a one-dimensional constriction on the spatial potential landscape of a two-dimensional electron system. By tuning the voltage applied on a QPC at low temperatures the resulting regular step-like electron conductance quantization can show an additional kink near pinch-off around 0.7(2$e^2$/h), called 0.7-anomaly. In a recent publication, we presented a combination of theoretical calculations and transport measurements that lead to a detailed understanding of the microscopic origin of the 0.7-anomaly. Functional Renormalization Group-based calculations were performed exhibiting the 0.7-anomaly even when no symmetry-breaking external magnetic fields are involved. According to the calculations the electron spin susceptibility is enhanced within a QPC that is tuned in the region of the 0.7-anomaly. Moderate externally applied magnetic fields impose a corresponding enhancement in the spin magnetization. In principle, it should be possible to map out this spin distribution optically by means of the Faraday rotation technique. Here we report the initial steps of an experimental project aimed at realizing such measurements. Simulations were performed on a particularly pre-designed semiconductor heterostructure. Based on the simulation results a sample was built and its basic transport and optical properties were investigated. Finally, we introduce a sample gate design, suitable for combined transport and optical studies.

title: A Mazzinian Inspired Moral Form of Partiality: MfP Patriotism
Creators: name: Watson, Ian
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: The Brexit vote in the UK revealed two tribal views that conceive partiality, change, identity and social trust differently. These are not new and represent two world views of morality, one global, the Anywheres, the other local, the Somewheres. My project seeks to bridge the divide between them by developing a moral form of partiality, best described as a moderate form of patriotism, which I call MfP. Avoiding the standard philosophical approach to justify MfP, I make two interdependent claims. First, my patria and polity, the object of MfP, is a Korsgaardian conditional value that is objectively good when the condition of its objective goodness is satisfied. Secondly, the strongly normative practical identity of a MfP-patriot is the best identity to act to satisfy the condition of objective goodness. MfP is about satisfying the desire for human flourishing by acting from the universal principle to reject indifference and neglect in the workable, cooperative, social and political system of my patria and polity. The MfP-patriot is focused on acting to foster and sustain the social fabric, secure the common good and protect the environment. MfP is inspired by the patriotic thoughts of Giuseppe Mazzini who was a nineteenth century Italian revolutionary and prolific writer. It helps make our minds bigger so that we extend our circle of concern to others. Being a MfP-patriot is about sharing in the labour for the good of humanity. MfP is underpinned by a disposition I call ‘connected, poetically present and compassionate’ conservatism; cppc-conservatism. MfP is justified by our rational nature. It is a moral form of partiality that marks it out as worthy of choice and makes the world a better place.

description: The Niobium surface is almost always covered by a native oxide layer which greatly influences the performance of superconducting devices. Here we investigate the highly stable Niobium oxide overlayer of Nb(110), which is characterised by its distinctive nanocrystal structure as observed by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). Our ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that a subtle reconstruction in the surface Niobium atoms gives rise to rows of 4-fold coordinated oxygen separated by regions of 3-fold coordinated oxygen. The 4-fold oxygen rows are determined to be the source of the nanocrystal pattern observed in STM, and the two chemical states of oxygen observed in core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are ascribed to the 3-fold and 4-fold oxygens. Furthermore, we find excellent agreement between the DFT calculated electronic structure with scanning tunnelling spectroscopy and valence XPS measurements.

Dot blot of biotinylated histone peptides probed with rabbit antibody to a) H3K18ac (Abcam, Ab1191), b) rabbit antibody to H3K27ac (Abcam, Ab4729), c and f) rabbit antibody to H3K4me1(Abcam, Ab8895) and d and e) streptavidin as a loading control. Peptides indicated on the left were diluted from right to left as shown above the figure. Starting concentrations (neat) were 0.25 mg/ml for all P. falciparum (Pf) peptides and Human (Hu) H3K4me3, H3K36me3 and H3K9me3 peptides; 0.07 mg/ml for Human H4K20me1 and H4K20me3; 0.065 mg/ml for Human H4. Human H3K4me3, H3K36me3 and H3K9me3 were not biotinylated and their loading was confirmed by ponceau red staining shown for neat peptides in lanes to the left. P. falciparum H3 unmodified 1, 2 and 3 peptides represented residues 1–21, 21–43 and 47–65, respectively. A minor cross reaction of anti-H3K18ac antibody with a P. falciparum histone H3 unmodified peptide (residues 47–65) was observed, but the antibody was at least 32-fold more sensitive for H3K18ac than H3 (residues 47–65). The rabbit anti-H3K27ac antibody strongly bound both the P. falciparum H3K27ac peptide and the H3K23acK27ac peptide. The anti-H3K27ac antibody also bound the P. falciparum H3K9ac peptide but by densitometry it generated no more than 1/32 of the signal of H3K9ac.

Torque Vectoring Control in Four Wheel Independently Driven Vehicle

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Hybrid and electric vehicles and powertrains
Autonomous vehicle systems

description: Four-wheel independently driven electric vehicles have a separate motor for each wheel. Such vehicles can deliver different torques to each wheel, a process called torque distribution, to improve vehicle performance. My research proposes a torque distribution method that overcomes certain limitations of existing optimization-based torque distribution methods, particularly related to the torque constraints imposed on each wheel. As a slip controller regulates the tire to output its maximum allowable force, the key idea behind the proposed method is that the output of the slip controller is fed back as the torque constraint to the proposed torque distribution method.

description: We imaged two starless molecular cloud cores, TUKH083 and TUKH122, in the Orion A giant molecular cloud in the CCS and ammonia (NH$_3$) emission with the Very Large Array. TUKH122 contains one NH$_3$ core "TUKH122-n," which is elongated and has a smooth oval boundary. Where observed, the CCS emission surrounds the NH$_3$ core. This configuration resembles that of the N$_2$H$^+$ and CCS distribution in the Taurus starless core L1544, a well-studied example of a dense prestellar core exhibiting infall motions. The linewidth of TUKH122-n is narrow (0.20 km s$^{-1}$) in the NH$_3$ emission line and therefore dominated by thermal motions. The smooth oval shape of the core boundary and narrow linewidth in NH$_3$ seem to imply that TUKH122-n is dynamically relaxed and quiescent. TUKH122-n is similar to L1544 in the kinetic temperature (10 K), linear size (0.03 pc), and virial mass ($\sim$ 2 $M_{\odot}$). Our results strongly suggest that TUKH122-n is on the verge of star formation. TUKH122-n is embedded in the 0.2 pc massive (virial mass $\sim$ 30 $M_{\odot}$) turbulent parent core, while the L1544 NH$_3$ core is embedded in the 0.2 pc less-massive (virial mass $\sim$ 10 $M_{\odot}$) thermal parent core. TUKH083 shows complicated distribution in NH$_3$, but was not detected in CCS. The CCS emission toward TUKH083 appears to be extended, and is resolved out in our interferometric observations.

description: Die titelgebende Aufforderung «only connect!», ein geflügeltes Wort in der englischen Sprache, stammt aus einem vielbeachteten Roman: «Howards End» von E.M. Forster. In diesem Roman treffen zwei Familien aufeinander, die unterschiedlichen sozialen Milieus angehören und entsprechend andere Wertvorstellungen bevorzugen. Der liberale Philosoph Michael Walzer hat dieses Motto aufgenommen, um seine Auffassung von Zivilgesellschaft zu präsentieren. In dieser erkennt er eine integrative Antwort auf die Frage nach dem guten Leben. Sie überwindet die Vereinseitigungen von vier anderen Konzeptionen (Republikanismus, Sozialismus, Kapitalismus, Nationalismus). Der Zivilgesellschaftsbegriff kann allerdings dreierlei bedeuten: Als «zivile Gesellschaft» steht er für eine Art von Gesellschaft. Als Bereich dieser mehr oder weniger zivilen Gesellschaft weist «Zivilgesellschaft» überdies eine soziale und eine politische Komponente auf und bezeichnet entsprechend das Vereinigungsleben einerseits und Öffentlichkeit andererseits. Als ein solcher Gesellschaftsteil erhält sich die Zivilgesellschaft durch soziale und politische Partizipation als zwei Arten des Zivilengagements. Bei Partizipation geht es mehr noch als bei bloßer Teilnahme um das «Mit». Einerseits ergibt partizipatives Miteinander für Individuen soziales Kapital, andererseits kommt in ihm sozialer Zusammenhalt zum Ausdruck. Problematisch erscheint dabei, dass soziale Kohäsion immer auch selektiv ist, was zur Ungleichverteilung von sozialem Kapital beiträgt. Zudem ist soziale Kohäsion fragil und droht zu zerfallen. Die Sorge um diesen Zusammenhalt lässt Soziokulturelle Animation aktiv werden. «Soziokultur verbindet» lautet ihr Motto – freilich angesichts der genannten Problematiken, die hinter die Aufforderung «only connect!» ein Fragezeichen setzen lassen, nicht naiv. Soziokulturelle Animation bildet einen Teil der Beteiligungsprofession Soziale Arbeit, der Gemeinwesenarbeit und dem Community Development verwandt, und lässt sich als nachrangige Kohäsionshilfe verstehen.

Insgesamt sollen die Darlegungen in der gegebenen Kürze klären, wie die auf unzähligen vielfältigen Verbindungen beruhende, überaus komplexe und auch riskante soziale Kohäsion in einer Gesellschaft mit Zivilgesellschaft, Partizipation und individuellem sozialem Kapital zusammenhängt und wie dies jene berufliche Akteurin betrifft, die dort hinzukommt, wo die Gesellschaft von sich aus Probleme nicht zu bewältigen und Entwicklungspotenziale nicht zu entfalten weiß, die den sozialen Zusammenhalt betreffen. Abgerundet werden diese Darlegungen mit einem Ausblick, der Fragen in den Raum stellt, deren Beantwortung zu einer umfassenden Theorie des sozialen Zusammenhalts führen könnten.

description: This paper presents ExPECA, an edge computing and wireless communication research testbed designed to tackle two pressing challenges: comprehensive end-to-end experimentation and high levels of experimental reproducibility. Leveraging OpenStack-based Chameleon Infrastructure (CHI) framework for its proven flexibility and ease of operation, ExPECA is located in a unique, isolated underground facility, providing a highly controlled setting for wireless experiments. The testbed is engineered to facilitate integrated studies of both communication and computation, offering a diverse array of Software-Defined Radios (SDR) and Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) wireless and wired links, as well as containerized computational environments. We exemplify the experimental possibilities of the testbed using OpenRTiST, a latency-sensitive, bandwidth-intensive application, and analyze its performance. Lastly, we highlight an array of research domains and experimental setups that stand to gain from ExPECA's features, including closed-loop applications and time-sensitive networking.

The process is generated through the exchange of a light scalar of mass of order 300 keV - 50 MeV coupling to photon through loops or higher dimensional operators. For natural values of the couplings and scales, the model can generate a gamma-ray line which can fit with the recently identified 3.5 keV X-ray line.

description: We present a new version of a semi-analytic model of cosmological galaxy formation, incorporating a star formation law with a feedback depending on the galaxy-scale mean dust opacity and metallicity, motivated by recent observations of star formation in nearby galaxies and theoretical considerations. This new model is used to investigate the effect of such a feedback on shaping the galaxy luminosity function and its evolution. Star formation activity is significantly suppressed in dwarf galaxies by the new feedback effect, and the faint-end slope of local luminosity functions can be reproduced with a reasonable strength of supernova feedback, which is in contrast to the previous models that require a rather extreme strength of supernova feedback. Our model can also reproduce the early appearance of massive galaxies manifested in the bright-end of high redshift K-band luminosity functions. Though some of the previous models also succeeded in reproducing this, they assumed a star formation law depending on the galaxy-scale dynamical time, which is not supported by observations. We argue that the feedback depending on dust opacity (or metal column density) is essential, rather than that simply depending on gas column density, to get these results.

description: We consider collision of two particles in the axially symmetric black hole metric in the magnetic field. If the value of the angular momentum |L| of one particles grows unbound (but its Killing energy remains fixed) one can achieve unbound energy in the center of mass frame E_{c.m.} In the absence of the magnetic field, collision of this kind is known to happen in the ergoregion. However, if the magnetic field strength B is also large, with the ratio |L|/B being finite, large E_{c.m.} can be achieved even far from a black hole, in the almost flat region. Such an effect also occurs in the metric of a rotating star.

description: The emergence of multicore and manycore processors is set to change the parallel computing world. Applications are shifting towards increased parallelism in order to utilise these architectures efficiently. This leads to a situation where every application creates its desirable number of threads, based on its parallel nature and the system resources allowance. Task scheduling in such a multithreaded multiprogramming environment is a significant challenge. In task scheduling, not only the order of the execution, but also the mapping of threads to the execution resources is of a great importance. In this paper we state and discuss some fundamental rules based on results obtained from selected applications of the BOTS benchmarks on the 64-core TILEPro64 processor. We demonstrate how previously efficient mapping policies such as those of the SMP Linux scheduler become inefficient when the number of threads and cores grows. We propose a novel, low-overhead technique, a heuristic based on the amount of time spent by each CPU doing some useful work, to fairly distribute the workloads amongst the cores in a multiprogramming environment. Our novel approach could be implemented as a pragma similar to those in the new task-based OpenMP versions, or can be incorporated as a distributed thread mapping mechanism in future manycore programming frameworks. We show that our thread mapping scheme can outperform the native GNU/Linux thread scheduler in both single-programming and multiprogramming environments.

description: Zr/N co-doped TiO2 nanostructures were successfully synthesized using nanotubular titanic acid (NTA) as precursors by a facile wet chemical route and subsequent calcination. These Zr/N-doped TiO2 nanostructures made by NTA precursors show significantly enhanced visible light absorption and much higher photocatalytic performance than the Zr/N-doped P25 TiO2 nanoparticles. Impacts of Zr/N co-doping on the morphologies, optical properties, and photocatalytic activities of the NTA precursor-based TiO2 were thoroughly investigated. The origin of the enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity is discussed in detail.

description: We argue that the conventional method to calculate the OPE coefficients in the strong coupling limit for heavy-heavy-light operators in the N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory has to be modified by integrating the light vertex operator not only over a single string worldsheet but also over the moduli space of classical solutions corresponding to the heavy states. This reflects the fact that we are primarily interested in energy eigenstates and not coherent states. We tested our prescription for the BMN vacuum correlator, for folded strings on $S^5$ and for two-particle states. Our prescription for two-particle states with the dilaton leads to a volume dependence which matches exactly to the structure of finite volume diagonal formfactors. As the volume depence does not rely on the particular light operator we conjecture that symmetric OPE coefficients can be described for any coupling by finite volume diagonal form factors.

description: Emerging and Readily Available Technologies and National Security is a study on the ethical, legal, and societal issues relating to the research on, development of, and use of rapidly changing technologies with low barriers of entry that have potential military application, such as information technologies, synthetic biology, and nanotechnology. The report also considers the ethical issues associated with robotics and autonomous systems, prosthetics and human enhancement, and cyber weapons. These technologies are characterized by readily available knowledge access, technological advancements that can take place in months instead of years, the blurring of lines between basic research and applied research, and a high uncertainty about how the future trajectories of these technologies will evolve and what applications will be possible.

Emerging and Readily Available Technologies and National Security addresses topics such as the ethics of using autonomous weapons that may be available in the future; the propriety of enhancing the physical or cognitive capabilities of soldiers with drugs or implants or prosthetics; and what limits, if any, should be placed on the nature and extent of economic damage that cyber weapons can cause. This report explores three areas with respect to emerging and rapidly available technologies: the conduct of research; research applications; and unanticipated, unforeseen, or inadvertent ethical, legal, and societal issues. The report articulates a framework for policy makers, institutions, and individual researchers to think about issues as they relate to these technologies of military relevance and makes recommendations for how each of these groups should approach these considerations in its research activities. Emerging and Readily Available Technologies and National Security makes an essential contribution to incorporate the full consideration of ethical, legal, and societal issues in situations where rapid technological change may outpace our ability to foresee consequences.
Intersecting Branes, Domain Walls and Superpotentials in 3d Gauge Theories

description: We revisit the Hanany-Witten brane construction of 3d gauge theories with N=2 supersymmetry. Instantons are known to generate a superpotential on the Coulomb branch of the theory. We show that this superpotential can be viewed as arising from the classical scattering of domain wall solitons. The domain walls live on the worldvolume of the fivebranes and their existence relies on the recent observation that the charged hypermultiplet at the intersection of perpendicular D-branes has non-canonical kinetic terms. We further show how Dp branes may be absorbed at the intersection of perpendicular D(p+4)-branes where they appear as BPS sigma-model lumps.
