description: Warum sehen Karten in China anders aus als in Europa? Warum scheinen interaktive Karten auf dem Smartphone oft noch nicht intuitiv nutzbar zu sein? Warum gelten Dashboards für Fachthemen, z.B. der aktuellen Corona-Lage, meist als kompliziert zu verstehen und benutzen? Der 3. Workshop Spatial is Special auf der Mensch und Computer greift diese Fragen im Rahmen von drei Trendthemen auf: Geo UX in verschiedenen Kulturkreisen, UX von mobilen Karten und UX von Geo-Dashboards. Interdisziplinäre Teilnehmer*innen diskutieren und erarbeiten diese Themen in mehreren Sessions. Der Workshop wird von Mitgliedern des German UPA Arbeitskreises Geo UX (https://germanupa.de/arbeitskreis-geo-ux) organisiert.
Toward a Unification of Star Formation Rate Determinations in the Milky Way and Other Galaxies

description: The star formation rate (SFR) of the Milky Way remains poorly known, with often-quoted values ranging from 1 to 10 solar masses per year. This situation persists despite the potential for the Milky Way to serve as the ultimate SFR calibrator for external galaxies. We show that various estimates for the Galactic SFR are consistent with one another once they have been normalized to the same initial mass function (IMF) and massive star models, converging to 1.9 +/- 0.4 M_sun/yr. However, standard SFR diagnostics are vulnerable to systematics founded in the use of indirect observational tracers sensitive only to high-mass stars. We find that absolute SFRs measured using resolved low/intermediate-mass stellar populations in Galactic H II regions are systematically higher by factors of ~2-3 as compared with calibrations for SFRs measured from mid-IR and radio emission. We discuss some potential explanations for this discrepancy and conclude that it could be allayed if (1) the power-law slope of the IMF for intermediate-mass (1.5 M_sun < m < 5 M_sun) stars were steeper than the Salpeter slope, or (2) a correction factor was applied to the extragalactic 24 micron SFR calibrations to account for the duration of star formation in individual mid-IR-bright H II regions relative to the lifetimes of O stars. Finally, we present some approaches for testing if a Galactic SFR of ~2 M_sun/yr is consistent with what we would measure if we could view the Milky Way as external observers. Using luminous radio supernova remnants and X-ray point sources, we find that the Milky Way deviates from expectations at the 1-3 sigma level, hinting that perhaps the Galactic SFR is overestimated or extragalactic SFRs need to be revised upwards.

description: Agile Entwicklungsmethoden bei denen auch Nutzer:innen in den Prozess einbezogen werden stellen viele mittelständische Unternehmen vor eine Herausforderung. In diesem Beitrag wird ein nutzerzentrierter Prozess vorgestellt, welcher sich in das agile Vorgehensmodell Kanban eingliedern lässt. Hierfür wurde zunächst eine Literaturanalyse vorgenommen, um ein Verständnis für die Begriffe der nutzerzentrierten Gestaltung, sowie für agile Vorge- hensmodelle zu gewinnen. In dieser werden die agilen Vorgehensmodelle Scrum, Feature Driven Development, Lean-UX und Kanban beschrieben. Anschließend werden etablierte Vorgehensmodelle [4], [14], [6], [19] näher betrachtet. Desweiteren wurden die Ent- wicklungsprozesse sowie die eingesetzten Tools eines mittelständigen Unternehmens analysiert. Anhand der gewonnen Erkenntnisse wurde das Konzept für einen neuen Prozess erstellt, welcher im weiteren Verlauf evaluiert wurde. Zwar konnten die Vorteile des neuen Prozesses in einer ersten Studie nicht inferenzstatistisch gesichert werden, dennoch verfolgt das Unternehmen den Ansatz weiter. Regelmäßige Usablity/UX-Tests mit dem UEQ (short) dokumentieren die positive Entwicklung nach Einführung des neues Prozess’. Darüber hinaus zeigt sich, dass der UX-Reifegrad [11] des Unternehmens vom UX-Reifegrad 2 (2019) auf 4 (Stand Juni 2021) gesteigert werden konnte. Hauptursache dieser Steigerung ist die Etablierung von UX im Unternehmen durch das Konzept der UX-Botschafter.

Subjects: classificationCode: 400499
subject: Chemical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The time rate of spatial reorganisation in polymer molecules is modulated both by solvent friction, and solvent-viscosity-independent intramolecular interactions, collectively termed as ``internal friction''. Internal friction is known to affect the timescale of protein folding, the mechanical response of polysaccharides to stretching, and the rheological properties of polymer solutions. This thesis presents a theoretical and computational investigation of the effects of internal friction on the motion of polymers in a dilute solution.

description: The French Center for Socio-Political Data is jointly operated and financed by Sciences Po, one of the leading SSH French universities, and the French Center for National Research (CNRS). One of the center's main missions has been to serve the French and international SSH communities by facilitating the reuse of surveys and data, both quantitative and qualitative, in the fields of sociology and political science. The main themes of CDSP's data repository are: political attitudes and behaviour, gender, family, immigration, school, health, cultural practices, new technologies, etc. The CDSP is one of the authoritative data sources concerning French elections, providing ballot results 1958 to 2012, making them available both to the research community and to the general public.
The CDSP has been using DDI for the last 15 years and has recently been certified with the CoreTrustSeal. In this presentation, we'll discuss the role DDI has in our data management and archiving processes and how it helped us be eligible for the CoreTrustSeal.
Three Essays on Updating Forecasts in Vector Autoregression Models

Publisher: name: Queen's University, Department of Economics
Year: 2010

description: Forecasting firms' earnings has long been an interest of market participants and aca- demics. Traditional forecasting studies in a multivariate time series setting do not take into account that the timing of market data release for a speci¯c time period of observation is often spread over several days or weeks. This thesis focuses on the separation of announcement timing or data release and the use of econometric real- time methods, which we refer to as an updated vector autoregression (VAR) forecast, to predict data that have yet to be released. In comparison to standard time series forecasting, we show that the updated forecasts will be more accurate the higher the correlation coe±cients among the standard VAR innovations are. Forecasting with the sequential release of information has not been studied in the VAR framework, and our approach to U.S. nonfarm payroll employment and the six Canadian banks shows its value. By using the updated VAR forecast, we conclude that there are relative ef- ¯ciency gains in the one-step-ahead forecast compared to the ordinary VAR forecast, and compared to professional consensus forecasts. Thought experiments emphasize that the release ordering is crucial in determining forecast accuracy.
An analytical model of logic resource utilization for FPGA architecture development
Creators: name: Lam, Andrew H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Designers constantly strive to improve Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) performance through innovative architecture design. To evaluate performance, an understanding of the eﬀects of modifying logic blocks structures and routing fabrics on performance is needed. Current architectures are evaluated via computer-aided design (CAD) simulations that are labourious and computationally-expensive experiments to perform. A more scientiﬁc method, based on understanding the relationships between architectural parameters and performance will enable the rapid evaluation of new architectures, even before the development of a CAD tool. This thesis presents an analytical model that describes such relationships and is based principally on Rent’s Rule. Speciﬁcally, it relates logic architectural parameters to the area eﬃciency of an FPGA. Comparison to experimental results show that our model is accurate. This accuracy combined with the simple form of the model’s equations make it a powerful tool for FPGA architects to better understand and guide the development of future FPGA architectures.

A Novel Technique to Reconstruct the Z mass in WZ/ZZ Events with Lepton(s), Missing Transverse Energy and Three Jets at CDFII

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Observing WZ/ZZ production at the Tevatron in a final state with a lepton, missing transverse energy and jets is extremely difficult because of the low signal rate and the huge background. In an attempt to increase the acceptance we study the sample where three high-energy jets are reconstructed, where about 1/3 of the diboson signal events are expected to end. Rather than choosing the two E$_{T}$-leading jets to detect a Z signal, we make use of the information carried by all jets. To qualify the potential of our method, we estimate the probability of observing an inclusive diboson signal at the three standard deviations level (P$_{3σ}$) to be about four times larger than when using the two leading jets only. Aiming at applying the method to the search for the exclusive WZ/ZZ$\rightarrow \ell νq\bar{q}$ channel in the three jets sample, we analyzed separately the sample with at least one $b$-tagged jet and the sample with no tags. In WZ/ZZ$\rightarrow \ell νb\bar{b}$ search, we observe a modest improvement in sensitivity over the option of building the Z-mass from the two leading jets in E$_T$ . Studies for improving the method further are on-going.

description: Process assessment is a disciplined project-oriented evaluation of an organizational unit’s processes with respect to a process assessment model. In this paper, an approach is presented of how to assess human centered design (HCD) processes. In detail, the standard approach according to ISO 9241-210 and the HCD processes according to ISO 9241-220 are considered. The HCD process assessment model (PAM) is intended for use when performing conformational assessments of the process capability on the development of interactive systems. It was developed in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 33020. HCD has its own process reference model (PRM), which was developed based on the HCD processes defined in ISO 9241-220. The HCD-PAM contains a set of indicators to be considered when interpreting the content of the HCD-PRM. These indicators may also be used when implementing a process improvement program subsequent to an assessment within an organization. The structure and the content of the HCD-PAM is explained, and it is exemplified by a practical example of assessing base practice 6 of the process HCP.3.4.2. Finally, it is indicated, how an assessment of HCD processes should be prepared, executed, and followed up.

description: This thesis proposes a systematic framework to select and assess the sustainability of carbon capture and utilisation technologies for a specific region. Using the Australian economy as a case study, it quantifies the benefits of producing ethanol by using electrochemistry and CO2 from the atmosphere. The framework proves to be useful at identifying the main areas of focus when using an early-stage technology, uncovering the non-evident benefits of carbon capture and utilisation and promoting its widespread use as a carbon mitigation mechanism to tackle climate change.
Density of asteroids

description: A considerable amount of information regarding the processes that occurred during the accretion of the early planetesimals is still present among the small bodies of our solar system. A review of our current knowledge of the density of small bodies is presented here. Intrinsic physical properties of small bodies are sought by searching for relationships between the dynamical and taxonomic classes, size, and density. Mass and volume estimates for 287 small bodies are collected from the literature. The accuracy and biases affecting the methods used to estimate these quantities are discussed and best-estimates are strictly selected. Bulk densities are subsequently computed and compared with meteorite density, allowing to estimate the macroporosity within these bodies. Dwarf-planets apparently have no macroporosity, while smaller bodies can have large voids. This trend is apparently correlated with size: C and S-complex asteroids tends to have larger density with increasing diameter. The average density of each Bus-DeMeo taxonomic classes is computed. S-complex asteroids are more dense on average than those in the C-complex that in turn have a larger macroporosity, although both complexes partly overlap. Within the C-complex, B-types stand out in albedo, reflectance spectra, and density, indicating a unique composition. Asteroids in the X-complex span a wide range of densities, suggesting that many compositions are included in the complex. Comets and TNOs have high macroporosity and low density, supporting the current models of internal structures made of icy aggregates. The number of density estimates sky-rocketed during last decade from a handful to 287, but only a third of the estimates are more precise than 20%. Several lines of investigation to refine this are contemplated, including observations of multiple systems, 3-D shape modeling, and orbital analysis from Gaia astrometry.

description: The existence of a correlation between observed radio spectral index (alpha) and redshift (z) has long been used as a method for locating high-z radio galaxies. We use 9 highly spectroscopically complete radio samples, selected at different frequencies and flux limits, to determine the efficiency of this method, and compare consistently observed correlations between alpha, luminosity, linear size, and redshift. We observe a weak correlation between z and alpha which remains even when Malmquist bias is removed. The strength of this correlation depends on both the k-correction and sample selection frequency, in addition to the frequency at which alpha is measured, and consistent results for both high and low frequency selected samples are only seen if analysis is restricted to just extended radio galaxies. Many of the highest redshift radio galaxies are very compact and often display a negatively curved or peaked spectrum, and therefore the low-frequency radio spectrum as a whole should be studied; this is something for which the LOFAR will be crucial. We quantify both the efficiency and the completeness of various techniques used to select high-z radio galaxies. A steep-spectrum cut applied to low-frequency selected samples can more than double the fraction of high-z sources, but at a cost of excluding over half of the high-z sources present in the original sample. An angular size cut is an almost as equally effective method as a steep-spectrum cut, and works for both high and low frequency selected samples. In multi-wavelength data, selection first of infrared-faint radio sources remains by far the most efficient method of selecting high-z sources. We present a simple method for selecting high-z radio galaxies, based purely on combining their radio properties of alpha and angular size, with the addition of the K-band magnitude if available.[abridged]

description: How to store energy reliably and cost-effectively is of vital importance to people’s lives. Supercapacitors are a new class of energy storage devices that exhibit many advantages over batteries, such as rapid charging, excellent safety, and ultralong cycle life. However, the relatively low energy densities of supercapacitors largely hinder their practical applications. To achieve supercapacitor devices with high energy capacities, this thesis develops a number of manganese dioxide-based nanomaterials showing excellent energy storage performance. This work is significant to the commercialization of supercapacitors in the future.

description: We propose a scheme for creating of a maximally entangled state comprising two field quanta. In our scheme, two weak light fields, which are initially prepared in either coherent or polarization states, interact with a composite medium near an interface between a dielectric and a negative index metamaterial. Such interaction leads to a large Kerr nonlinearity, reduction of the group velocity of the light and significant confinement of the light fields while simultaneously avoiding amplitude losses of the incoming radiation. All these considerations make our scheme efficient.

description: The AKARI All-Sky Catalogues are an important infrared astronomical database for next-generation astronomy that take over the IRAS catalog. We have developed an online service, AKARI Catalogue Archive Server (AKARI-CAS), for astronomers. The service includes useful and attractive search tools and visual tools. One of the new features of AKARI-CAS is cached SIMBAD/NED entries, which can match AKARI catalogs with other catalogs stored in SIMBAD or NED. To allow advanced queries to the databases, direct input of SQL is also supported. In those queries, fast dynamic cross-identification between registered catalogs is a remarkable feature. In addition, multiwavelength quick-look images are displayed in the visualization tools, which will increase the value of the service. In the construction of our service, we considered a wide variety of astronomers' requirements. As a result of our discussion, we concluded that supporting users' SQL submissions is the best solution for the requirements. Therefore, we implemented an RDBMS layer so that it covered important facilities including the whole processing of tables. We found that PostgreSQL is the best open-source RDBMS products for such purpose, and we wrote codes for both simple and advanced searches into the SQL stored functions. To implement such stored functions for fast radial search and cross-identification with minimum cost, we applied a simple technique that is not based on dividing celestial sphere such as HTM or HEALPix. In contrast, the Web application layer became compact, and was written in simple procedural PHP codes. In total, our system realizes cost-effective maintenance and enhancements.

description: By treating idealized zeolite frameworks as periodic mechanical trusses, we show that the number of flexible folding mechanisms in zeolite frameworks is strongly peaked at the minimum density end of their flexibility window. 25 of the 197 known zeolite frameworks exhibit an extensive flexibility, where the number of unique mechanisms increases linearly with the volume when long wavelength mechanisms are included. Extensively flexible frameworks therefore have a maximum in configurational entropy, as large crystals, at their lowest density. Most real zeolites do not exhibit extensive flexibility, suggesting that surface and edge mechanisms are important, likely during the nucleation and growth stage. The prevalence of flexibility in real zeolites suggests that, in addition to low framework energy, it is an important criterion when searching large databases of hypothetical zeolites for potentially useful realizable structures.

description: This thesis focuses on methods for the derivation of effective theories in models describing cold atoms in optical cavities. Among those models, the Dicke model and its generalisations are among the most representative and studied problems in quantum electrodynamics. It describes the coupling of matter in the form of two-level atoms to a quantised mode of light. The Dicke model has been realised in various physical platforms, such as N-V centers in diamond, molecules coupled to an optical mode, trapped ions, as well as in superconducting qubits coupled to microwave resonators. Extensions of the Dicke model have also been widely used in modelling exciton-polariton condensation with organic molecules. Another realisation involves laser-driven atoms coupled to light in a dissipative cavity. This thesis will focus on the latter type of physical system. When the coupling between light and matter reaches a critical point, the Dicke model predicts a phase transition to a superradiant state. Moreover, the onset of the superradiant phase transition coincides with the breaking of the discrete Z₂ symmetry in the model. Motivated by experimental advances in the field, there has been a growing interest in the realisation and analysis of generalised Dicke models such as those with continuous symmetry. In these models, the symmetry breaking phase transition is expected to allow for the observation of Goldstone modes. In order for the cavity QED system to be described by a Dicke model with continuous symmetry, one has to consider multimode extensions of the well characterised single mode experiments. Another extension made possible by multimode cavities is associative memory models, where cavity modes mediate interactions between ensembles of atoms. In many body cavity QED models, the Hilbert space dimension grows according to the number of atoms and modes involved, therefore, solving and fully characterising these problems becomes a challenging task. This is why one has to move to effective descriptions in terms of a reduced number of degrees of freedom. The most widely used technique is Redfield theory, an equation of motion describing the dynamics of the slowest part of the system, after elimination of the fast component. In our atom-cavity picture, the slow and fast components of the total system will be the atoms and the cavity light, respectively. There are cases where Redfield theory is inadequate to accurately capture dynamics and critical behavior. Given the approximations leading to the Redfield equation, this could be considered as the second order of a perturbative expansion in the light-matter coupling. By adopting a diagrammatic method, one could write a Redfield theory beyond its standard second order formula. In this thesis, these techniques will be employed to analyse a two-mode Dicke model with U(1) symmetry and a model of associative memory.

description: Aims: There is a high prevalence of South Asian immigrants in Australia living with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with the dietary management of the condition presenting as a key challenge. However, their current dietary patterns and barriers to diabetes self-management are unclear. Therefore, this study aims to (i) investigate current dietary patterns and (ii) explore barriers and facilitators to dietary management in this population. Methods: A concurrent mixed-methods study comprising three 24-h dietary recalls and a semi-structured interview for each self-identified South Asian immigrant adult with diabetes recruited across Victorian primary care clinics and social media to address the aforementioned two aims. Dietary recall data were converted into food groups using Foodworks, and data analysed in SPSS. Qualitative data were thematically analysed using NVivo. Results: Among 18 participants recruited, 14, 16 and 17 participants had grain, fruit and dairy intake lower than daily Australian recommendations, respectively. These findings echoed qualitative data that participants viewed diabetes management as reducing carbohydrate intake. Participants reported difficulties incorporating diabetes-related dietary and lifestyle recommendations into their routine and a lack of knowledge about available organisational support. They mentioned challenges in receiving social support from families and friends and relied on support from health professionals. Facilitators included proficiency in nutrition information label reading and self-blood glucose monitoring skills. Conclusion: Enhancing the accessibility to organisational support, facilitating the adaption of dietary recommendations into individuals' routines, and strengthening support from health professionals are essential components in intervention development to improve diabetes management for South Asians.
Temporal-spatial discretization and fractional latency techniques for wave propagation in heterogeneous media
Creators: name: De Rybel, Tom
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis presents the development of a novel, transient wave propagation simulator using time-decoupled transmission line models. The models are based on the electro-magnetic transient program (EMTP) power system transient analysis tools, extended to two dimensions. The new tool is targeted at acoustic wave propagation phenomena. The method, called TINA for transient insular nodal analysis, uses temporal interpolation and fractional latency to maintain synchronicity in heterogeneous media. The fractional latency method allows the model cells to operate at a local simulation time step which can be a non-integer ratio of the global simulation time step. This simplifies synchronicity and saves computation time and memory. Thévenin equivalents are used to interface the mesh cells and provide an abstraction of the cell content. Numerically, the method is of the transmission-line matrix (TLM) family. In the thesis, loss-less and distortion-less models are considered. The loss-less transmission line models are studied for their stability and numerical error, for which analytical expressions are derived based on the simulation parameters. A number of new relations were discovered and discussed. The TINA method is evaluated in 2D using acoustic experiments, and also a new method is proposed for obtaining impulse responses in time-domain simulation, based on a periodic, band-limited impulse signals.
The initial mass spectrum of old globular clusters in dwarf galaxies

description: We test whether the masses of old globular clusters (GCs) in dwarf galaxies are consistent with the same initial mass spectrum as young massive clusters (YMCs) in nearby star-forming galaxies. The most massive GCs of dwarf galaxies are compared to their expected masses when drawing from the Schechter-type ICMF of YMCs. It is found that the most massive GCs of galaxies in the stellar mass range M_*,gal=10^7-10^9 Msun are consistent with the same initial mass spectrum as YMCs in about 90% of the cases, suggesting that their formation mechanisms were the same. For the remaining 10%, the most massive clusters are nuclear GCs, which have been able to grow to higher masses through further merging after their initial formation ended. Because the effects of cluster disruption are weaker for more massive clusters, we estimate that up to one third of the metal-poor GCs in the Milky Way may have a nuclear origin, while the remaining two thirds formed through the same process as YMCs in the local universe. A log-normal ICMF is inconsistent with observed GCs at a 99.6% confidence level.

Bio-inspired Light-Gated Three-Dimensional Metal-Organic Framework Nanochannels
Creators: name: QIAN, TIANYUE
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2021
Subjects: classificationCode: 401807
subject: Nanomaterials

description: In cell membranes, ion channels can open and close upon stimuli regulating the ion transportation. This function is called ion gating, which is a basic feature for bio-membranes. Inspired by nature, this thesis provides a new strategy of fabricating artificial nanochannels for light-gated ion transport. MOFs, a series of porous material with highly ordered structure, are used to build a sub-nanometer nanochannel platform, and responsive molecules are applied as controllable gates modifying inside MOF pores. Thus, the channel, molecule gates and ions transporting through are comparable in size, and a high on-off ratio can be achieved for emerging nanofluidics.

description: This papers defines the syntax and semantics of GP 2, a revised version of the graph programming language GP. New concepts are illustrated and explained with example programs. Changes to the first version of GP include an improved type system for labels, a built-in marking mechanism for nodes and edges, a more powerful edge predicate for conditional rule schemata, and functions returning the indegree and outdegree of matched nodes. Moreover, the semantics of the branching and loop statement have been simplified to allow their efficient implementation.

description: The magnetic and electrical properties of Co$_3$TeO$_6$ single-crystals with corundum related structure reveal a magnetic-field induced polarization below 21 K. A sharp peak in the specific heat at \approx 18 K indicates a reconstructive-type first-order phase transition. From second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurements breaking of inversion symmetry is evident and the point-group symmetry was determined as m. The temperature and magnetic-field dependence of the magnetic and electrical polarizations are discussed in the light of the SHG results.

Crossed pointed categories and their equivariantizations

description: We propose the notion of quasi-abelian third cohomology of crossed modules, generalizing Eilenberg and MacLane's abelian cohomology and Ospel's quasi-abelian cohomology, and classify crossed pointed categories in terms of it. We apply the process of equivariantization to the latter to obtain braided fusion categories which may be viewed as generalizations of the categories of modules over twisted Drinfeld doubles of finite groups. As a consequence, we obtain a description of all braided group-theoretical categories. A criterion for these categories to be modular is given. We also describe the quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf algebras underlying these categories.

description: We construct new electrically charged solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with negative cosmological constant in general odd dimensions $d=2n+3 \geq 5$. They correspond to higher dimensional generalizations of the squashed black hole solutions, which were known so far only in five dimensions. We explore numerically the general properties of such classical solutions and, using a counterterm prescription, we compute their conserved charges and discuss their thermodynamics.

description: Nell’affrontare la scelta di una tecnica di analisi ci saranno da valutare fattori tali la versatilità, l’accuratezza, la sensibilità, la selettività, la rapidità d’esecuzione, la semplicità, i costi economici… La spettrofotometria IR è proprio una tecnica analitica che subisce questi fattori in modo positivo, offrendo un prezioso contributo alla conoscenza dei pigmenti. A volte sarà un primo approccio ma tante volte sarà risolutivo. Quindi siamo davanti una tecnica analitica molto adatta per l’identificazione e lo studio dei pigmenti. Poi senz’altro, a seconda del risultato, ci saranno altre tecniche da complementare.
