State of the art and requirements analysis
State of the art analysis
requirements analysis

description: This is the first of the series of deliverables that specify the pilot scenarios, their involved datasets, and their relevant user requirements as well as the system and technical requirements that are being imposed by the platform. The purpose of these series is to track those requirements throughout the project and update them during the progress of the project. The approach that is followed is twofold: A top-down approach that is followed with respect to the user requirements that were collected by the use case providers themselves, after specifying the business goals and objectives of the use case, along with a concrete definition of the scenario. Moreover, a bottom-up approach is additionally complemented that aims to identify and analyse the technical requirements with respect to the technical work packages that are focusing on the platform technological needs.
 The result of this analysis is a list of measurable an unambiguous requirement that will drive the design of the overall architecture of the iHelp platform, focusing on serving all different needs of the various use cases of the project. As the project will progress, updated versions of this deliverable will help the architecture designers of the platform and its software developers to adjust the overall architecture and its implementation accordingly, with respect to the principles of the agile methodology. Moreover, in order for the platform to keep track with the latest technological advances, a state-of-the-art analysis has been performed regarding the major technologies that are envisioned to be exploited.
 This deliverable is being released on M06 of the project and its main aim is to specify the basic scenarios of the use cases, which drove the user requirements based on their perspective, and the initial technical requirements as foreseen by the technical partners that are being involved in the design of the overall architecture of the platform. Updated versions of this document will be released on M12 and M20, respectively.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η διερεύνηση των ‘Στάσεων’ και της ‘Πρόθεσης’ προς την άσκηση, των ‘Βασικών Ψυχολογικών Αναγκών’ από την άσκηση, της ‘Ταύτισης με το ρόλο του ασκούμενου’ και της ευχαρίστησης σε ασκούμενους σε οργανωμένα προγράμματα άσκησης. Επιπλέον, εξετάστηκαν τυχόν διαφορές: ως προς το φύλο, την ηλικία, τα χρόνια συμμετοχής στην άσκηση, το είδος άσκησης, την οικογενειακή κατάσταση, την επαγγελματική κατάσταση και το μορφωτικό επίπεδο. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτέλεσαν 384 ασκούμενοι (169 άντρες και 215 γυναίκες), ηλικίας 20 έως 51 έτη (Μ.Ο. =32 ±8,83). Τα ερωτηματολόγια που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για τη συλλογή των δεδομένων μετρούσαν την ταύτιση με το ρόλο του ασκούμενου, τις στάσεις προς την άσκηση, την πρόθεση προς την άσκηση, την ευχαρίστηση από την άσκηση και τις βασικές ψυχολογικές ανάγκες (αυτονομία, ικανότητα και κοινωνικές σχέσεις). Από τις αναλύσεις διακύμανσης, στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές προέκυψαν ως προς τα χρόνια συμμετοχής σε όλους τους παράγοντες με αυτούς που είχαν περισσότερο από τέσσερα χρόνια συμμετοχής να παρουσιάζουν στατιστικά σημαντικά υψηλότερους μέσους όρους. Και ως προς την ηλικία με αυτούς που ήταν άνω των 41 ετών να παρουσιάζουν στατιστικά σημαντικά υψηλότερους μέσους όρους. Από την ανάλυση συσχέτισης (correlations) προέκυψε στατιστικά σημαντικά υψηλή θετική συσχέτιση ανάμεσα σε όλους τους παράγοντες των ερωτηματολογίων. Συμπερασματικά, τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας υποστηρίζουν ότι οι ασκούμενοι στα προγράμματα ιδιωτικών γυμναστηρίων που αναπτύσσουν υψηλή ταύτιση με το ρόλο του ασκούμενου, αυτονομία, ικανότητα, κοινωνικές σχέσεις, στάσεις και πρόθεση προς την άσκηση, ευχαρίστηση από την άσκηση, έχουν συστηματική συμμετοχή και παραμένουν στο γυμναστήριο δημιουργώντας θετικές συμπεριφορές για συνεχή δια βίου άσκηση.

description: Given a compatible vector field on a compact connected almost-complex manifold, we show in this article that the multiplicities of eigenvalues among the zero point set of this vector field have intimate relations. We highlight a special case of our result and reinterpret it as a vanishing-type result in the framework of the celebrated Atiyah-Bott-Singer localization formula. This new point of view, via the Chern-Weil theory and a strengthened version of Bott's residue formula observed by Futaki and Morita, can lead to an obstruction to Killing real holomorphic vector fields on compact Hermitian manifolds in terms of a curvature integral.

description: The 22 GHz H2O maser in Orion KL has shown extraordinary burst events in 1979-1985 and 1998-1999, sometimes called supermaser. We have conducted monitoring observations of the supermaser in Orion KL using VERA, VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry, in the current third burst since 2011 March. Three flux maxima are detected in 2011 and 2012 with rising and falling timescales of 2-7 months. Time variations of the supermaser seem symmetric for all of the active phases. The maximum total flux density of 135000 Jy is observed in 2012 June while it is still one order of magnitude lower than those in previous bursts. The supermaser consists of two spatially different components at different velocities. They are elongated along a northwest-southeast direction perpendicular to the low-velocity outflow driven by Source I. Proper motions of the supermaser features with respect to Source I are measured toward west and southwest directions, almost parallel to the low-velocity outflow. The flux density and linewidth show an anti-correlation as expected for an unsaturated maser emission. The supermaser is located close to the methylformate (HCOOCH3) line and continuum emission peaks in the Orion Compact Ridge detected by ALMA. The broader velocity range of the weak HCOOCH3 emission at the supermaser position would be an evidence of a shock front. On the other hand, the 321 GHz H2O line is not detected at the position of the supermaser. It can be explained qualitatively by one of the theoretical H2O excitation models without extraordinary conditions. Our results support a scenario that the supermaser is excited in the dense gas interacting with the low-velocity outflow in the Compact Ridge. The extremely high flux density and its symmetric time variation for rising and falling phases could be explained by a beaming effect during the amplification process rather than changes in physical conditions.

description: The numerical technique of Lattice QCD holds the promise of connecting the nuclear forces, nuclei, the spectrum and structure of hadrons, and the properties of matter under extreme conditions with the underlying theory of the strong interactions, quantum chromodynamics. A distinguishing, and thus far unique, feature of this formulation is that all of the associated uncertainties, both statistical and systematic can, in principle, be systematically reduced to any desired precision with sufficient computational and human resources. We review the sources of uncertainty inherent in Lattice QCD calculations for nuclear physics, and discuss how each is quantified in current efforts.

description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Produktrückverfolgbarkeit im Sondermaschinenbau. In den Fertigungszellen besteht oft das Problem, dass die Bauteile ohne maschinelle Identifikation in die jeweiligen Fertigungsregale eingeräumt werden. Somit kann es beim Zusammenbau der Sondermaschine dazu kommen, dass projektrelevante Bauteile fehlen und der Zusammenbau nicht fortgesetzt werden kann. Dies wiederum erzeugt in der Fertigungszelle einen Leerlauf, wodurch die Projektkosten unnötig in die Höhe getrieben werden. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es festzustellen, welche Auto-ID-Technologie sich in der industriellen Produktionsumgebung behaupten kann. Hierfür werden in der realen Produktionsumgebung Tests anhand von Versuchsaufbauten durchgeführt. Im Speziellen gilt es hierbei zu untersuchen, mit welcher Technologie es möglich ist, Bauteile aus dem hausinternen Fräszentrum und Zukaufteile ordnungsgemäß zu markieren, damit diese in späterer Folge eindeutig identifiziert werden können. Am Eingang der Fertigungszelle wird die Identifikation aller markierten Bauteile erfolgen. Erst nachdem auf diese Weise sichergestellt wurde, dass alle relevanten Bauteile in der Fertigungszelle vorhanden sind, kann der Zusammenbau der Sondermaschine in der Produktion freigegeben werden. Als Ergebnis dieser Forschungsarbeit wird gezeigt, dass die Produktidentifikation mittels RFID-Technologie hierfür technisch besser geeignet ist als die Nutzung von Barcodesystemen.
description: This thesis deals with product traceability in special purpose machinery manufacturing. A problem that often occurs in the production cells is that the components are placed on the respective production shelves. There is no mechanical identification of the components. This means that during the assembly of the special purpose machine, project-relevant components might be missing and the assembly cannot be continued. This in turn creates an idle state in the production cell, which unnecessarily increases the project costs. The goal of this thesis is to determine which Auto-ID technology can be used in an industrial production environment. Thereby tests are carried out by means of test setups in the real production environment. In particular, it is necessary to investigate which technology can be used to correctly mark components from the in-house milling center and purchased parts so that they can be clearly identified at a later stage. At the entrance of the production cell the identification of all marked components will take place, this ensuring that all relevant components are present in the production cell. The assembly of the special machine can then be released in production. As a result of this thesis, the decision for an Auto-ID technology is made based on technical and economical criteria.

description: If X is a geodesic metric space and $x_1,x_2,x_3\in X$, a {\it geodesic triangle} $T=\{x_1,x_2,x_3\}$ is the union of the three geodesics $[x_1x_2]$, $[x_2x_3]$ and $[x_3x_1]$ in $X$. The space $X$ is $δ$-\emph{hyperbolic} $($in the Gromov sense$)$ if any side of $T$ is contained in a $δ$-neighborhood of the union of the two other sides, for every geodesic triangle $T$ in $X$. If $X$ is hyperbolic, we denote by $δ(X)$ the sharp hyperbolicity constant of $X$, i.e. $δ(X)=\inf\{δ\ge 0: \, X \, \text{ is $δ$-hyperbolic}\,\}\,.$ Some previous works characterize the hyperbolic product graphs (for the Cartesian product, strong product and lexicographic product) in terms of properties of the factor graphs. In this paper we characterize the hyperbolic product graphs for graph join $G_1\uplus G_2$ and the corona $G_1\diamond G_2$: $G_1\uplus G_2$ is always hyperbolic, and $G_1\diamond G_2$ is hyperbolic if and only if $G_1$ is hyperbolic. Furthermore, we obtain simple formulae for the hyperbolicity constant of the graph join $G_1\uplus G_2$ and the corona $G_1\diamond G_2$.

description: The Accreting Millisecond X-ray Pulsar IGR J17591-2342 is a LMXB system that went in outburst on August 2018 and it was monitored by the NICER observatory and partially by other facilities. We aim to study how the spectral emission of this source evolved during the outburst, by exploiting the whole X-ray data repository of simultaneous observations. The continuum emission of the combined broad-band spectra is on average well described by an absorbed Comptonisation component scattering black-body-distributed photons peaking at (0.8+/-0.5) keV, by a moderately optically thick corona (tau=2.3+/-0.5) with temperature of (34+/-9) keV. A black-body component with temperature and radial size of (0.8+/-0.2) keV and (3.3+/-1.5) km respectively is required by some of the spectra and suggests that part of the central emission, possibly a fraction of the neutron star surface, is not efficiently scattered by the corona. The continuum at low energies is characterised by significant residuals suggesting the presence of an absorption edge of O VIII and of emission lines of Ne IX ions. Moreover, broad Fe I and Fe XXV K-alpha emission lines are detected at different times of the outburst, suggesting the presence of reflection in the system.

description: Gamma-ray bursts can be divided into three groups: short-, intermediate and long-duration bursts. While the progenitors of the short and long ones are relatively known, the progenitor objects of the intermediate-duration bursts are generally unknown, however, recent statistical studies suggest, that they should be related to the long-duration bursts. In this work we investigate whether there is a differ- ence between the global parameters of the X-ray flashes and intermediate-duration group of gamma-ray bursts. The statistical tests do not show any significant discrepancy regarding most of the parameters, except the BAT photon index, which is only a consequence of the defintion of the X-ray flashes.

description: Using helium-3 atom scattering, we have studied the adsorption kinetics, the structure and the diffusional dynamics of atomic hydrogen on the surface of a graphene monolayer on Ni(111). Diffraction measurements reveal a 4$^\circ$ rotated rectangular hydrogen overstructure. Hydrogen adsorption and desorption exhibit activation barriers of $E_a=(89\pm7)\,$meV and $E_d=(1.8\pm0.2)\,$eV, respectively. Helium-3 spin-echo measurements showed no decay of the spatial correlation function (or intermediate scattering function) within the time range of the spectrometer. Hence, we are able to set lower limits for a possible hydrogen surface diffusion rate.

description: The chromium (Cr) limit values are currently tightened to 25 μg L−1 (EU), 5 μg L−1 (Germany), and possibly 10 μg L−1 Cr(VI) (California). The combined process of chemical reduction, coagulation, and biotic filtration (RCbF) efficiently removes Cr(VI) in drinking water. In this study, redox-active substances (O2, NO3−, Fe2+, MnO2) were investigated concerning their effect on the RCbF process. The experiments were performed at two-stage pilot waterworks for biological iron and manganese removal. O2 or NO3− as oxidants affected the RCbF process, neither by consumption of the reductant Fe(II) nor by re-oxidation of already formed Cr(III) in the supernatant of the filter bed. However, the oxidation of Cr(III) by O2 to Cr(VI) with MnO2 as a mediator was identified as potential risk for Cr breakthrough. Up to one third of the initial Cr(III) concentration was oxidized to Cr(VI) in the second filter bed within a contact time of only 5 min. The kinetically relevant mechanism seemed to be the formation of Cr(III)Fe(III)-hydroxides and not the reduction of Cr(VI) by Fe(II). Further, the mixing of Cr(VI) containing raw water with Fe(II) containing groundwater was determined as a chemical-free alternative for the RCbF process, depending on the resulting Fe(II) concentration after mixing.

description: The press was an important part of the front in the ideological struggle of the Communist party in Poland during the Stalinist period. A qualitative content analysis of articles relating to Lysenkoism appearing in the official daily newspaper of the Polish United Workers’ Party (Communist party), Trybuna Ludu [Tribune of the People], and its predecessors Głos Ludu [Voice of the People] and Robotnik [The Worker], is presented. In 1948-1956, at least 125 articles on Lysenkoism were published. Their subject matter reflected the successive stages of Lysenkoist propaganda. The aim of this study is to show the dynamics of the presentation of Lysenkoism by official press organs of the Communist party in Poland, and to analyze the content of published articles, thus enabling the precise correlation of Lysenkoism in Poland with political events. As soon as the faction of orthodox Stalinists came to power, articles related to Lysenkoism began to appear on the pages of the official organ of the Communist party. This fact uniquely connects Lysenkoism with the Polish political situation: the victory of the pro-Moscow faction in the apparatus of the Polish Workers’ Party was the most important determinant of the appearance of Lysenkoism in Poland. Similarly, the disappearance of Lysenkoism as a topic from Trybuna Ludu is also correlated with political events: the rapid loss of political power by the pro-Moscow Stalinist faction.

description: The Ph. D. project herein deals with the application of a novel photocatalyst and its potential in wastewater treatment. Specifically, for wastewater intended for reuse in crop irrigation and with direct emphasis on antibiotic resistance dissemination. The project is divided in three work packages (WP). WP A - Selection of a suitable photocatalyst deals with the assessment of a number of photocatalyst that was carried out in order to identify a suitable catalyst showing higher efficiencies while having a low-cost synthetic route. The research carried out within this scope resulted in an optimised cerium doped ZnO catalyst which was identified as fitting the pre-established requirements. This catalyst was subsequently studied in the immobilised form in WP B - Catalyst immobilisation here a procedure for coating stainless steel surfaces was set and the catalyst used for the removai of two model antibiotics trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, as well as testing the reusability of photocatalytic coatings. Additionally, the immobilised catalyst was used for the inactivation of bacteria in isotonic saline water and for the inactivation of autochthonous bacteria, including antibiotic resistant fractions in reai wastewater. In the latter, Ce-ZnO was more efficient than the industry standard TiO2-P25. This novel catalyst was also applied for controlled irrigation experiments. Lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa) were set up in four groups receiving either Ce-ZnO treated wastewater, chlorinated treated wastewater, fresh water or secondary wastewater in WPC- Both water treatments showed marginai differences in concentrations of thè four selected genes (16S rRNA, blaOXA-10 qnrS and intII) in water concentrations. As for concentrations in soil after thè irrigation campaign, both treatments showed lower levels than those from secondary wastewater but higher levels than fresh water with no major differences between treatments.

description: This presentation includes the slide-deck used for a panel discussion "Responsible Research Assessment - with or without the Nordic bibliometric indicator" at the 28th Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy (NWB2023) 13 October 2023.
Responsible research assessment (RRA) entails balancing qualitative and quantitative methods, recognizing diversity of academic work and fields, and rewarding open science practices. CoARA agreement for Reforming Research Assessment reinforces the DORA (The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment) recommendation against inappropriate uses of journal- and publication-based metrics (especially JIF and h-index). While the European Council supports the RRA agenda, it recently invited member states to address the issue of predatory publishing practices.  The Nordic bibliometric indicator relies on evaluation of journals and book publishers by national field-specific panels of experts. Since 2005, the indicator has been adapted in some form at national or institutional level in all Nordic countries but now its uses are reconsidered. Denmark and Norway have decided to stop using the indicator in the performance-based funding of universities, and Finland is reconsidering its funding model. Many Swedish universities use the Norwegian list for internal funding allocations. Iceland uses the Norwegian, Danish and Finnish lists used as supporting tool since 2019 and the Finnish list more extensively since 2022 in a new research assessment system.The panel discussed the following three questions from the national and/or their institution's perspective:1.    What are the most important recent changes in the use of the Nordic bibliometric indicator in your country/institution?2.    What have been the main concerns about the uses of the indicator with respect to the RRA agenda and the CoARA Agreement?3.    What is the role of journal evaluation (by citation metrics or experts) in addressing predatory, questionable, deceptive and low-quality publishing practices?  The panel comprised experts in research assessment and bibliometrics from five Nordic countries:Denmark: Marianne Gauffriau (IT University of Copenhagen)Finland: Laura Niemi (University of Turku)Iceland: Baldvin Zarioh (University of Iceland)Norway: Gunnar Sivertsen (NIFU – Nordic Institute for Studies in Innovation, Research and Education)Sweden: Björn Hammarfelt (University of Borås)

description: Federated Learning (FL) has become a key choice for distributed machine learning. Initially focused on centralized aggregation, recent works in FL have emphasized greater decentralization to adapt to the highly heterogeneous network edge. Among these, Hierarchical, Device-to-Device and Gossip Federated Learning (HFL, D2DFL \& GFL respectively) can be considered as foundational FL algorithms employing fundamental aggregation strategies. A number of FL algorithms were subsequently proposed employing multiple fundamental aggregation schemes jointly. Existing research, however, subjects the FL algorithms to varied conditions and gauges the performance of these algorithms mainly against Federated Averaging (FedAvg) only. This work consolidates the FL landscape and offers an objective analysis of the major FL algorithms through a comprehensive cross-evaluation for a wide range of operating conditions. In addition to the three foundational FL algorithms, this work also analyzes six derived algorithms. To enable a uniform assessment, a multi-FL framework named FLAGS: Federated Learning AlGorithms Simulation has been developed for rapid configuration of multiple FL algorithms. Our experiments indicate that fully decentralized FL algorithms achieve comparable accuracy under multiple operating conditions, including asynchronous aggregation and the presence of stragglers. Furthermore, decentralized FL can also operate in noisy environments and with a comparably higher local update rate. However, the impact of extremely skewed data distributions on decentralized FL is much more adverse than on centralized variants. The results indicate that it may not be necessary to restrict the devices to a single FL algorithm; rather, multi-FL nodes may operate with greater efficiency.

description: Hyperspectral images contain mixed pixels due to low spatial resolution of hyperspectral sensors. Spectral unmixing problem refers to decomposing mixed pixels into a set of endmembers and abundance fractions. Due to nonnegativity constraint on abundance fractions, nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) methods have been widely used for solving spectral unmixing problem. In this letter we proposed using multilayer NMF (MLNMF) for the purpose of hyperspectral unmixing. In this approach, spectral signature matrix can be modeled as a product of sparse matrices. In fact MLNMF decomposes the observation matrix iteratively in a number of layers. In each layer, we applied sparseness constraint on spectral signature matrix as well as on abundance fractions matrix. In this way signatures matrix can be sparsely decomposed despite the fact that it is not generally a sparse matrix. The proposed algorithm is applied on synthetic and real datasets. Synthetic data is generated based on endmembers from USGS spectral library. AVIRIS Cuprite dataset has been used as a real dataset for evaluation of proposed method. Results of experiments are quantified based on SAD and AAD measures. Results in comparison with previously proposed methods show that the multilayer approach can unmix data more effectively.

description: We report on experimental and theoretical results for the photoionization of Ag-like xenon ions, Xe$^{7+}$, in the photon energy range 95 to 145~eV. The measurements were carried out at the Advanced Light Source at an energy resolution of $Δ$E = 65 meV with additional measurements made at $Δ$E = 28 meV and 39 meV. Small resonance features below the ground-state ionization threshold, at about 106 eV, are due to the presence of metastable Xe$^{7+} (4d^{10} 4f~^2{\rm F}^{\circ}_{5/2,7/2})$ ions in the ion beam. On the basis of the accompanying theoretical calculations using the Dirac Atomic R-matrix Codes (DARC), an admixture of only a few percent of metastable ions in the parent ion beam is inferred, with almost 100\% of the parent ions in the $(4d^{10}5s ~^2{\rm S_{1/2}})$ ground level. The cross-section is dominated by a very strong resonance associated with $4d \rightarrow 5f$ excitation and subsequent autoionization. This prominent feature in the measured spectrum is the $4d^95s5f ~^2{\rm P}^{\circ}$ resonance located at (122.139 $\pm$ 0.01)~eV. An absolute peak cross-section of 1.2 Gigabarns was measured at 38 meV energy resolution. The experimental natural width $Γ$ = 76 $\pm$ 3 meV of this resonance compares well with the theoretical estimate of 88 meV obtained from the DARC calculation with 249 target states. Given the complexity of the system, overall satisfactory agreement between theory and experiment is obtained for the photon energy region investigated.

description: The Local Volatility model is a well-known extension of the Black-Scholes constant volatility model whereby the volatility is dependent on both time and the underlying asset. This model can be calibrated to provide a perfect fit to a wide range of implied volatility surfaces. The model is easy to calibrate and still very popular in FX option trading. In this paper we address a question of validation of the Local Volatility model. Different stochastic models for the underlying can be calibrated to provide a good fit to the current market data but should be recalibrated every trading date. A good fit to the current market data does not imply that the model is appropriate and historical backtesting should be performed for validation purposes. We study delta hedging errors under the Local Volatility model using historical data from 2005 to 2011 for the AUD/USD implied volatility. We performed backtests for a range of option maturities and strikes using sticky delta and theoretically correct delta hedging. The results show that delta hedging errors under the standard Black-Scholes model are no worse than that of the Local Volatility model. Moreover, for the case of in and at the money options, the hedging error for the Back-Scholes model is significantly better.
WEARABLES SENSORS FOR MONITORING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER PATIENTS

description: Substance use disorder is an increasing concern in the United States and abroad. In 2017, the CDC reported that over 70 thousand people died from a drug overdose, a greater than 10% increase in drug overdose related deaths compared to 2016. As a result, developing new technologies to treat substance use disorder is a major public health priority. In response to this need, I am engineering new portable health monitoring devices, capable of detecting substance use and facilitating treatment and intervention. I have two major approaches. My first approach is the continuous monitoring of select vital signs as indirect measures of substance use and drug overdose. Drug use is known to affect cardiopulmonary activity, making the continuous monitoring of heart rate, respiration, and blood oxygen possible indirect measures of drug use. Additionally, opioid-overdose is known to cause respiratory rate depression, making respiratory rate monitoring critical for detecting opioid overdose. I have developed a smartwatch capable of accurately measuring heart rate, respiration, and respiratory rate depression and have validated the device with a known reference standard. My second approach is to detect the presence of drugs in sweat. I am utilizing a DNA aptamer-based biosensor that generates an electrical current when a target drug is present in the sweat. The generated electrical current is sensed by a custom-designed, sensing circuit and analyzed by an on-board processor. I have shown a proof-of-concept of the wearable sweat-based biosensor by detecting micromolar concentrations of cocaine in bulk solutions with the aptamer-based biosensor and my custom-designed miniaturized sensing device. I envision that by combining the vital signs monitor and the sweat-based biosensor, I can help improve outpatient rehabilitative care by helping clinicians understand the substance use habits of their patient population and facilitate real-time psychological and ambulatory intervention.

description: We present a procedure for the determination of the mass of the top quark at the LHC based on leptonic observables in dilepton $t\bar{t}$ events. Our approach utilises the shapes of kinematic distributions through their few lowest Mellin moments; it is notable for its minimal sensitivity to the modelling of long-distance effects, for not requiring the reconstruction of top quarks, and for having a competitive precision, with theory errors on the extracted top mass of the order of 0.8 GeV. A novel aspect of our work is the study of theoretical biases that might influence in a dramatic way the determination of the top mass, and which are potentially relevant to all template-based methods. We propose a comprehensive strategy that helps minimise the impact of such biases, and leads to a reliable top mass extraction at hadron colliders.

title: The dynamics of local knowledge of botanical pest management in Wag Hamra, Ethiopia
Creators: name: McKee, Jonathan
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: In the Ethiopian mountain area of Wag Hamra, the use and knowledge of household plant-based remedies to treat specific crop, livestock and human insect pests represent a large, diversified and complex field of ethnobotany that hints at the antiquity of human presence in the area. From a synchronic perspective, this complexity stems from the intermeshing, within the broader context of pest management, of clear ethnoentomological and ethnobotanical patterns, of which the Orthodox Christian religion, processes of acculturation between the original Agaw people and their Amhara neighbours, gender, altitude and cultural perceptions of altitude are key dimensions. The extreme ruggedness of the landscape, the resulting fluctuations in plant distribution and the very “localised” nature of the ethnobotanical knowledge of farmers converge to raise intracultural variability to very high levels. Current patterns and mechanisms of knowledge transmission, particularly among children, suggest that intracultural consensus on botanical pest management is at its highest at the level of microwatersheds not exceeding 20 km2. Multipurpose plant use is not random but patterned according to continua of plant use that are indicators of long term processes of innovation, change and knowledge differentiation. These continua reflect the high degree of relatedness between the use of plants for pest management and the use of household fumigants, of cosmetics, of remedies for skin problems and of evil eye protections for crops. The introduction in recent decades of soap and chemical pesticides has had a significant impact on the pest management strategy of farmers. For selected pests, these changes have resulted in sharp decreases in plant use, but the overall figures of plant use and knowledge point to the co-existence of synthetic and plant remedy use and to the absence of significant ethnobotanical knowledge losses. However, the simultaneous sharp decline of the plant resources in the area could disturb this fragile equilibrium in the near future.

description: In the article, the complexity and interconnection of the cultural characteristics that impact higher education institutions in the Eastern Partnership countries are presented. The six countries, united in 2009 by Brussels in one block, have a simi- lar policy of the reformation of their higher education systems which has a distinct European vector. The paper is designed to study the higher education reforms and higher through the prism of cultural dimensions portrayed at national and institu- tional levels. To perform this task Geert Hofstede’s cultural value dimensions and World Value Survey database (2010-2014) were employed as well as findings of the individual researchers. In short, this paper aims to discuss the culture implica- tion in academic environment and changes occurring within the higher education institutions of the six countries of Eastern partnership and to explain them by use of G. Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. Considering higher education institutions per- formance with the help of cross-cultural analysis can facilitate analysis of the edu- cation practices, teaching and learning methods, readiness to institutional change and external challenges, policies and practices undertaken by academic systems to cope with the external and internal academic environment and modes of the im- plementing the reformation strategies in the selected countries.

description: The Brussels-Montreal Skyrme functionals have been successful to describe properties of both finite nuclei and infinite homogeneous nuclear matter. In their latest version, these functionals have been equipped with two extra density-dependent terms in order to reproduce simultaneously ground state properties of nuclei and infinite nuclear matter properties while avoiding at the same time the arising of ferromagnetic instabilities. In the present article, we extend our previous results of the linear response theory to include such extra terms at both zero and finite temperature in pure neutron matter. The resulting formalism is then applied to derive the neutrino mean free path. The predictions from the Brussels-Montreal Skyrme functionals are compared with ab-initio methods.

description: We present our observational results of AM CVn star CR Boo in the UBVR bands. Our observational campaign includes data obtained over 5 nights with the National Astronomical Observatory Rozhen, Belogradchik and the AS Vidojevica telescopes. During the whole time of our observations the brightness of the system varied between $13.95 - 17.23$ in B band. We report the appearance of humps during the period of quiescence and superhumps during the active state of the object, (where the latter are detected in two nights). We obtain the superhumps periodicity for two nights, $P_{sh}\approx 24.76 - 24.92$ min. The color during maximum brightness is estimated as $ - 0.107 < (B-V)_{0} < 0.257$ and the corresponding temperature is in the range as $7700 [K] < T(B-V)_{0} < 11700 [K]$. We found that CR Boo varies from bluer to redder in the nights with outbursts activity. The star becomes bluer during the times of superhumps.
