description: Let G be a connected reductive group acting on a finite dimensional vector space V. Assume that V is equipped with a G-invariant symplectic form. Then the ring C[V] of polynomial functions becomes a Poisson algebra. The ring C[V]^G of invariants is a sub-Poisson algebra. We call V multiplicity free if C[V]^G is Poisson commutative, i.e., if {f,g}=0 for all invariants f and g. Alternatively, G also acts on the Weyl algebra W(V) and V is multiplicity free if and only if the subalgebra W(V)^G of invariants is commutative. In this paper we classify all multiplicity free symplectic representations.

title: Linear hyperbolic second order partial differential equations on space time
Creators: name: Hanel, Clemens
Year: 2006

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Existenz- und Eindeutigkeitsresultaten für lineare hyperbolische partielle Differentialgleichungen zweiter Ord- nung auf Lorentzmannigfaltigkeiten. Der Hauptteil eines strikt hyperbo- lischen Differentialoperators zweiter Ordnung kann als Laplace-Beltrami- Operator einer Lorentzmetrik geschrieben werden. Daher ist die Verwen- dung von Methoden der Lorentzgeometrie in der Existenztheorie für die- se Art von Differentialgleichungen naheliegend. Der geometrische Stand- punkt gestattet eine elegante Formulierung der Energieabschätzungen im Rahmen der Sobolevräume, indem Energietensoren verwendet werden. In- teresse für diese Verfahren kam in jüngster Zeit auf, da Problemstellungen aus der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie und der mathematischen Geophy- sik eine Verallgemeinerung für den Fall von Koefﬁzienten niedriger Regu- larität erfordern.
description: This thesis deals with existence and uniqueness results for linear hyper- bolic partial differential equations of second order on Lorentzian mani- folds. The principal part of a linear strictly hyperbolic operator of second order may be written as the Laplace-Beltrami operator of some Lorentzian metric, thus it is natural to use methods of Lorentzian geometry in the ex- istence theory for this class of PDEs. This geometric viewpoint allows an elegant formulation of the energy estimates in the framework of Sobolev spaces by the use of energy tensors. Recent interest in these techniques arises from generalizations to the case of coefﬁcients of low regularity mo- tivated by applications in general relativity and mathematical geophysics.

description: The aerodynamic performance of an isolated coaxial rotor in forward flight is analyzed by a high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. The analysis focuses on the high-speed forward flight with an advance ratio of 0.5 or higher. The effect of the degree of the rolling moment on the rotor thrust, called lift offset, is studied in detail. The coaxial rotor model is a pair of contrarotating rotors, each rotor consisting of two untwisted blades with a radius of 1.016 m. The pitch angle of the blades is controlled by both collective and cyclic as in a conventional single main-rotor helicopter. CFD analysis is performed using a flow solver based on the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a Reynolds-averaged turbulence model. Laminar/turbulent transition in the boundary layer is taken into account in the calculation. The rotor trim for target forces and moments is achieved using a gradient-based delta-form blade pitch angle adjusting technique in conjunction with CFD analysis. The reliability of the calculations is confirmed by comparison with published wind tunnel experiments and two comprehensive analyses. Applying the lift offset improves the lift-to-effective drag ratio (lift-drag ratio) and reduces thrust fluctuations. However, in the case where the advance ratio exceeds 0.6, the lift-drag ratio drops significantly even if the lift offset is 0.3. The thrust fluctuation also increases with such a high advance ratio. Detailed analysis reveals that the degradation of aerodynamic performance and vibratory aerodynamic loads is closely related to the pitch angle control to compensate for the reduction in thrust on the retreating side due to the increased reverse flow region. It is effective to reduce the collective and longitudinal cyclic pitch angles for the improvement of the aerodynamic performance of coaxial rotors with an appropriate lift offset.

description: In this paper, we address the gap in people's perceptions of using artificial intelligence (AI) in animation, mainly focusing on AI-based motion capture. We aimed to understand how individuals perceived animations created by AI, manual, and AI with manual cleanup methods. We presented our participants with short, full-body animation clips created using the three methods. Participants rated the appeal and naturalness of the animations, and we asked them to discern the creation method. Results revealed differences in perceived appeal and naturalness between manually created animations and those generated through AI-involved methods, with manual animations consistently rated higher. However, participants were unable to discern creation methods regardless of animation experience level, demonstrating an accuracy equivalent to random guessing. Moreover, the qualitative analysis highlighted diverse perspectives with negative and positive views on AI use, with the most mentioned theme being the importance of quality regardless of creation method. The overwhelming majority of participants asserted that the degree of automatization would influence their perceived value and effort put into an animation. Still, this group didn't show divergent ratings, nor did it affect their overall agreeableness towards using AI in creative fields. This study contributes valuable insights into the intersection of animation and AI, informing creators about the effect of different creation methods on audience perceptions.

description: Motion segmentation from a single moving camera presents a significant challenge in the field of computer vision. This challenge is compounded by the unknown camera movements and the lack of depth information of the scene. While deep learning has shown impressive capabilities in addressing these issues, supervised models require extensive training on massive annotated datasets, and unsupervised models also require training on large volumes of unannotated data, presenting significant barriers for both. In contrast, traditional methods based on optical flow do not require training data, however, they often fail to capture object-level information, leading to over-segmentation or under-segmentation. In addition, they also struggle in complex scenes with substantial depth variations and non-rigid motion, due to the overreliance of optical flow. To overcome these challenges, we propose an innovative hybrid approach that leverages the advantages of both deep learning methods and traditional optical flow based methods to perform dense motion segmentation without requiring any training. Our method initiates by automatically generating object proposals for each frame using foundation models. These proposals are then clustered into distinct motion groups using both optical flow and relative depth maps as motion cues. The integration of depth maps derived from state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation models significantly enhances the motion cues provided by optical flow, particularly in handling motion parallax issues. Our method is evaluated on the DAVIS-Moving and YTVOS-Moving datasets, and the results demonstrate that our method outperforms the best unsupervised method and closely matches with the state-of-theart supervised methods.

description: Background: Digital supply chain twins (DSCT) are gaining increased attention in academia and practice and their positive impact on logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) performance is often highlighted. Still, LSCM executives are hesitant regarding DSCT implementation. One reason is the difficulty of making a reasonable cost–benefit comparison, because the benefits of using a DSCT are rarely quantified. Moreover, there seems to be no method of quantifying these benefits as of today. Methods: This article builds upon an extensive simulation study of a constructed organic food supply chain (FSC), containing as many as 40 simulation experiments. In this simulation study, three volatility scenarios in the FSC were simulated and their effects on LSCM performance were measured. Subsequently, dynamic simulation experiments were run to emulate DSCT use. The benefits of using a DSCT were then quantified using a newly developed approach. Results: A conclusive method for quantifying the benefits of using a DSCT is presented and validated. Moreover, the performance evaluation of using a DSCT for the multi-echelon inventory management of an organic FSC is given. Conclusions: The study leads towards a method for quantifying the use of DSCTs that is of importance for research and practice alike. For managers, it additionally provides an exemplary application of said method in the context of organic FSCs.

description: Personalized dialogue generation, focusing on generating highly tailored responses by leveraging persona profiles and dialogue context, has gained significant attention in conversational AI applications. However, persona profiles, a prevalent setting in current personalized dialogue datasets, typically composed of merely four to five sentences, may not offer comprehensive descriptions of the persona about the agent, posing a challenge to generate truly personalized dialogues. To handle this problem, we propose $\textbf{L}$earning Retrieval $\textbf{A}$ugmentation for $\textbf{P}$ersonalized $\textbf{D}$ial$\textbf{O}$gue $\textbf{G}$eneration ($\textbf{LAPDOG}$), which studies the potential of leveraging external knowledge for persona dialogue generation. Specifically, the proposed LAPDOG model consists of a story retriever and a dialogue generator. The story retriever uses a given persona profile as queries to retrieve relevant information from the story document, which serves as a supplementary context to augment the persona profile. The dialogue generator utilizes both the dialogue history and the augmented persona profile to generate personalized responses. For optimization, we adopt a joint training framework that collaboratively learns the story retriever and dialogue generator, where the story retriever is optimized towards desired ultimate metrics (e.g., BLEU) to retrieve content for the dialogue generator to generate personalized responses. Experiments conducted on the CONVAI2 dataset with ROCStory as a supplementary data source show that the proposed LAPDOG method substantially outperforms the baselines, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed method. The LAPDOG model code is publicly available for further exploration. https://github.com/hqsiswiliam/LAPDOG

description: Contemporary challenges for development should involve a sustainable approach. One of the important sectors where such challenges are observed is transport. In a wide range of studies addressing environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability, an approach that combines these dimensions as an integrated technique to assess sustainable development of passenger rail transport organizations is still lacking. The first aim of the presented research is to offer a relatively comprehensive collection of railway sustainability indicators as well as a novel causal loop. The second aim is to assess and improve sustainable management using a case study of a passenger rail transport company. To model the relationships inside and around the transport company, the system dynamics (SD) methodology was chosen, being the primary contribution of the study. Additionally, the Fuzzy-TOPSIS logic is required to find the most appropriate scenarios that may change future strategies by making them more socially and environmentally friendly. The proposed research may support experts in assessing sustainability management in transport companies and improve their performance considerably.

description: Real-world experiments are best suited for testing and validating novel circular business models (CBMs). Despite the increasing prominence of experimentation in CBM research, there is a lack of investigations on how firms manage and organize CBM experiments. This study aims to fill this research gap by examining the organizational capabilities needed to orchestrate CBM experiments, beyond prototyping, piloting, iterating, and scaling up. Drawing on a systematic within- and cross-case analysis with two fundamentally different firms that nevertheless share the same objective—the dynamic stabilization of a long-term viable CBM—we offer a new perspective on the management and organization of CBM experiments. The study shows how the investigated firms have developed three CBM experimentation capabilities over time, which can be disaggregated into (1) contextualizing, (2) dynamic co-structuring, and (3) governing intangible assets. Moreover, the findings provide further theoretical directions for CBM experiments and identify gaps for future research.

description: Intelligent tutoring systems leverage AI models of expert learning and student knowledge to deliver personalized tutoring to students. While these intelligent tutors have demonstrated improved student learning outcomes, it is still unclear how teachers might integrate them into curriculum and course planning to support responsive pedagogy. In this paper, we conducted a design study with five teachers who have deployed Apprentice Tutors, an intelligent tutoring platform, in their classes. We characterized their challenges around analyzing student interaction data from intelligent tutoring systems and built VisTA (Visualizations for Tutor Analytics), a visual analytics system that shows detailed provenance data across multiple coordinated views. We evaluated VisTA with the same five teachers, and found that the visualizations helped them better interpret intelligent tutor data, gain insights into student problem-solving provenance, and decide on necessary follow-up actions - such as providing students with further support or reviewing skills in the classroom. Finally, we discuss potential extensions of VisTA into sequence query and detection, as well as the potential for the visualizations to be useful for encouraging self-directed learning in students.

description: The paper discusses the continuous-time Markov Branching Process allowing Immigration. We are considering a critical case for which the second moment of offspring law and the first moment of immigration law are possibly infinite. Assuming that the nonlinear parts of the appropriate generating functions are regularly varying in the sense of Karamata, we prove theorems on convergence of transition functions of the process to invariant measures. We deduce the speed rate of these convergence providing that slowly varying factors are with the remainder.

description: The beginnings of human tuberculosis lie beyond all written records. Centuries before the Greek physicians described the salient features of the disease, its victims were known to the embalmers in Egypt (1); and it was doubtless long before the age of the Pharoahs that the tubercle bacillus assumed the parasitic mode of life and began its baleful work among men. In the absence of statistical evidence we can only speculate as to the extent of its ravages in the past, but if we come to comparatively modern times and look at the list of great men who have died of consumption we can form some vague idea as to how gravely it has crippled mankind at large.

description: The pathwise behaviour of a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system with symmetric nonlinearity and distributed delays is investigated under the presence of seismic excitation and multiplicative noise. Besides distributed time delays and finite build-up time of control force are taken into consideration. The system is modelled as stochastic integro-differential equation with exponential type kernels. Interpreting stochastic equations in Stratonovich sense, stochastic stability is analyzed in terms of Lyapunov exponents. Estimates of frequencies with which sample paths of displacement of SDOF system cross certain critical values are also obtained. Studies of stochastic linear and nonlinear systems are carried out by resorting to numerical techniques for the solution of (ordinary) stochastic differential equations.
Preparing industry-ready analysts in classroom: a module injection based approach

description: (D. Sc.) -- Towson University, 2017
description: An analyst plays one of the most influential and important roles in an Information System Development (ISD) project, especially in the Requirements Elicitation (RE) phase of Requirement Engineering. Soft skills of an analyst role is in critical demand in the IT industry. A significant portion of researchers have also explicitly identified soft skill sets important for analysts. However, IS pedagogy and curriculum initiatives do not have any such systematic pedagogical approach that will be explicitly used for nurturing students with soft skills. Since there is a need, our initiative is to introduce a Behavioral Injection Module (BIM) approach. In traditional class lectures, we do not see any role-play simulation tasks or simulated practice session involved during the course. There is a need to practice interview question techniques for an analyst role in the class environment after the lecture contents. In particular, analysts need to simulate and practice the client-analyst requirement elicitation process and to improve certain soft skills in the process. This research presents a theoretical framework that uses the e-learning design principles of segmentation, role-play simulation and the Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle mapping three soft skills to address the issues. We developed Behavioral Injection Module (BIM) that has two major components: lesson section and practice session. We provide our module description, our experimental design, the instruments we used and its outcome in this paper. We test the effectiveness of our BIM through experimental studies using courses of Computer and Information Sciences Department of Towson University. 

We have conducted total five studies including the pilot study during spring 2015 and 2016, summer 2016 and spring 2017 semesters. We divided our participants into two groups: control and experiment. We then measured following constructs during the studies-
1) Individuals’ soft skills (Communications, Perceptual and Thinking skills) evaluations using post survey.
2) Individuals’ knowledge based skills (RE KL and Awareness on REKL) evaluations using pre and post survey.
3) Individuals’ learning performance (transcript and report writing) evaluations using transcript and report.

A significant increase was found in learning performance (p < 0.05) and knowledge based skills (0.05) of the treatment group using our role-play simulation task of the BIM compared to traditional class lecture who did not participate in the role play simulation. However, there was no significant difference found (p>.05) in soft skills development among the experiment group.

En efecto, en Cheers las cosas transcurren en el bar de Boston con ese nombre (cuando me refiera a este lugar, usaré Cheers, sin cursiva), mientras que en la serie protagonizada por Frasier Crane se nos cuenta la historia de un psiquiatra que, en su regreso a Seattle, la ciudad donde nació, y tras un periplo bostoniano de varios años, pasa a ser locutor de un programa de radio donde los oyentes le preguntan sobre problemas cotidianos de salud mental. En ese retorno –vivido por él como decadente–, ha de retomar la relación con sus padre y hermano, y, en general, empezar de nuevo.

2. Sin embargo, y siendo eso así, de esta serie y de la comparación con su serie matriz Cheers, donde nace el personaje del doctor Crane, se deducen algunas ideas que permiten defender a ambas producciones como continuadoras de tradiciones como la de la comedia clásica de Hollywood, al poner en marcha mecanismos cinematográficos ya vistos en Ernst Lubitsch (1892-1947), Frank Capra (1897-1991), Billy Wilder (1906-2002) o en el Michael Curtiz de A la caza de herederos (Jimmy The Gent, 1934) y, por supuesto, Casablanca (1942), por destacar algunos.

[...]

56. Con esos mimbres, podemos comenzar a profundizar en la esencia de Frasier deteniéndonos en un eje que avancé en los primeros párrafos de este ensayo: la idea de equívoco, que desgloso en cuatro tipos: equívoco sobre quién es la persona que se tiene delante (por estar disfrazado o por no saber su verdadera personalidad); confusión entre personas y animales; caos en la organización de un evento; y el factor meta teatral».

Spatial Navigation And Geometrical Skills In Children

description: Spatial navigation is a sensorimotor process based on the capacity of representing the surroundings and the ability to update self-position in space while moving. Such information is used to aid orientation especially in conditions where spatial cues are limited, e.g. when vision is absent as in blindness. This study intends to disclose perceptual mechanisms underlying spatial navigation development that could be exploited to teach geometrical concepts by moving in space without vision. To this aim, we investigated the development of perception of right and left turns of 90° in blindfolded sighted children (6-11 y.o.). We also evaluated retention of landmarks orthogonally positioned after turns of different angles . Subjects were driven along a path divided in two segments of different lengths and were asked to name the closest landmark to them and, on a reduced amount of trials, to localize all landmarks. The angle between the segments was varied on a trial-by-trial basis. The results show that younger children are less precise than older ones in estimating the turned angle and they exhibit strong localization errors when requested to indicate the landmark position after 90° turn. These results indicate that spatial updating seems to be related to the capacity of estimating turns and such capability develops with age. By throwing light on how spatial updating and representation change with development, this study poses the basis for the possibility of teaching geometrical concepts by exploiting body movement in space which would be useful both for blind and sighted children.

description: This document analyses funding gaps in the aeronautical sector in Europe by comparing characteristics of the funding programmes and calls at regional, national and European level, reference is made to the four pilot regions of the project: Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie in France, Campania in Italy, and Hamburg in Germany.

The ECARE consortium made systematic use of: (i) data collected on mapping of calls, funded projects and stakeholders’ competences, which are reported in D2.1; (ii) needs of regional stakeholder identified during interviews, and (iii) information on approaches to funding obtained during the execution of a first series of national workshops with regional and national funding bodies are reported in D3.1.

The analyses by country of all the data and elements mentioned above have taken into account the sensitivity of funding bodies to stakeholders needs, perceptions about potential synergies, recognition of gaps and existing barriers separately. Such analysis allowed to identify and describe a first list of 18 potential synergy mechanisms among the four pilot regions and the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking (CA JU) programme. These preliminary results will be the starting point of the ECARE Transnational Workshop.
Simultaneous determination of the dielectric relaxation behavior and soilwater characteristic curve of undisturbed soil samples

description: The frequency dependence of soil electromagnetic properties contain valuable information of the porous material due to strong contributions to the dielectric relaxation behavior by interactions between aqueous pore solution and mineral phases due to interface effects. Soil hydraulic properties such as matric potential are also influenced by different surface bonding forces due to interface processes. For this reason, a new analysis methodology was developed, which allows a simultaneous determination of the soil water characteristic curve and the dielectric relaxation behavior of undisturbed soil samples. This opens the possibility to systematically analyze coupled hydraulic/dielectric soil properties for the development of pedotransfer functions to estimate physico-chemical parameters with broadband HF-EM measurement techniques.

Effects of Two Quantum Correction Parameters on Chaotic Dynamics of Particles Near Renormalized Group Improved Schwarzschild Black Holes

description: A renormalized group improved Schwarzschild black hole spacetime contains two quantum correction parameters. One parameter $γ$ represents the identification of cutoff of the distance scale, and another parameter $Ω$ stems from nonperturbative renormalization group theory. The two parameters are constrained by the data from the shadow of M87* central black hole. The dynamics of electrically charged test particles around the black hole are integrable. However, when the black hole is immersed in an external asymptotically uniform magnetic field, the dynamics are not integrable and may allow for the occurrence of chaos. % English Editor: %Please verify that the intended meaning has been retained. Employing an explicit symplectic integrator, we survey the contributions of the two parameters to the chaotic dynamical behavior. It is found that a small change of the parameter $γ$ constrained by the shadow of M87* black hole has an almost negligible effect on the dynamical transition of particles from order to chaos. However, a small decrease in the parameter $Ω$ leads to an enhancement in the strength of chaos from the global phase space structure. A theoretical interpretation is given to the different contributions. The term with the parameter $Ω$ dominates the term with the parameter $γ$, even if the two parameters have same values. % English Editor: Please verify %that the intended meaning has been retained. In particular, the parameter $Ω$ acts as a repulsive force, and its decrease means a weakening of the repulsive force or equivalently enhancing the attractive force from the black hole. On the other hand, there is a positive Lyapunov exponent that is universally given by the surface gravity of the black hole when $Ω\geq 0$ is small and the external magnetic field vanishes.

description: RbgA (ribosome biogenesis GTPase A) is involved in the maturation of later stages of the 50S ribosomal subunit by associating with the 45S ribosomal subunit. However, this binding relies on the specific nucleotide-bound state of RbgA-GTP-bound state is more favorable compared GDP-bound state, attributed to the conformational variations between those states. Therefore, to explore the conformational changes of RbgA, all-atom MD simulations of BsRbgA were carried out under various nucleotide bound states (GDP, GTP, GTP-Mg2+ and GMPPNP-Mg2+). The analysis of overall conformational changes using RMSD and Rg revealed sharp equilibration for GTP-Mg2+ and GMPPNP-Mg2+ nucleotide bound systems. Investigating internal variations through RMSF and cluster analyses helps us to identify the functionally important regions and nucleotide driven conformational variations that may stabilize/destabilize the RbgA-ribosome association. In addition, the construction and analyses of the dynamical protein contact network from the simulated trajectory reveal the nucleotide dependent allosteric connections between the nucleotide binding site and the rRNA interacting residues. Furthermore, the visualization followed by the dynamical distance calculations exhibited the possible role of Mg2+ in assisting GTP hydrolysis, such as (i) positioning the Asp150 of the switch-I (Sw-I) loop residue in a catalytically feasible configuration and (ii) stabilizing the solvated water molecules at the active-site through Mg2+ coordination. The results of our study can be used to design better chemical agents to regulate ribosome biogenesis through modulation of the function of the RbgA.
