description: We study the 'background traffic' resulting from tens of thousands of networked first person shooter (FPS) clients searching for servers on which to play. Networked, multiplayer games utilise the network in two distinct ways. Game play is typically built around a client-server communication model, and the resulting traffic patterns have been well studied to date. However, the discovery of available game servers is itself a client-server process. Operational game servers register themselves with well-known 'master servers', which are then queried by game clients looking for available servers. Game clients then probe the servers and retrieve information such as game type, number of other players, currently active map, and latency (ping time). We instrumented two active and public 'Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory' servers over 20 weeks, developed a simple method to differentiate client probes from game-play traffic, and then characterized and contrasted the time-of-day, geographical distributions and traffic characteristics of both traffic types. We find that a significant amount of a server's traffic is probe traffic and the geographical origins are very different for both types of traffic. We propose techniques to improve server location and to decrease the amount of probe traffic.

description: The upper mid-band - roughly from 7 to 24 GHz - has attracted considerable recent interest for new cellular services. This frequency range has vastly more spectrum than the highly congested bands below 7 GHz while offering more favorable propagation and coverage than the millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies. The upper mid-band can thus provide a powerful and complementary frequency range to balance coverage and capacity. Realizing the full potential of these bands, however, will require fundamental changes to the design of cellular systems. Most importantly, spectrum will likely need to be shared with incumbents including communication satellites, military RADAR, and radio astronomy. Also, the upper mid-band is simply a vast frequency range. Due to this wide bandwidth, combined with the directional nature of transmission and intermittent occupancy of incumbents, cellular systems will need to be agile to sense and intelligently use large spatial and frequency degrees of freedom. This paper attempts to provide an initial assessment of the feasibility and potential gains of wideband cellular systems operating in the upper mid-band. The study includes: (1) a system study to assess potential gains of multi-band systems in a representative dense urban environment and illustrate the value of wide band system with dynamic frequency selectivity; (2) an evaluation of potential cross interference between satellites and terrestrial cellular services and interference nulling to reduce that interference; and (3) design and evaluation of a compact multi-band antenna array structure. Leveraging these preliminary results, we identify potential future research directions to realize next-generation systems in these frequencies.

description: ABSTRACTPurpose: This is a descriptive study of the annual incidence of brain injuries in motor vehicle crashes by type, seatbelt use and crash severity (delta V) using national accident data. The risk for concussion, diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and severe head injury was determined.Methods: 1994-2011 NASS-CDS (National Automotive Sampling System - Crashworthiness Data System) was analyzed to estimate the number of brain injuries annually in non-ejected adults involved in motor vehicle crashes. Crashes were grouped by front, side, rear and rollover, and the effect of belt use was investigated. Light vehicles were included with model year 1994+. Head injuries were identified as concussion, DAI, severe head injury (AIS 4+) and skull fracture. The annual incidence, risk and rate for different types of head injury were estimated with standard errors.Results: Motor vehicle crashes involved 33,191 ± 7,815 occupants with concussion, 5,665 ± 996 with AIS 4+ head injuries, 986 ± 446 with DAI, and 3,300 ± 531 with skull fracture annually. The risk was 1.64% ± 0.39% for concussion, 0.28% ± 0.05% for severe head injury (AIS 4+), 0.05% ± 0.02% for DAI and 0.16% ± 0.03% for skull fracture in tow-away crashes. The risk for severe head injury (AIS 4+) was highest in rollovers (0.74% ± 0.16%) and lowest in rear impacts (0.17% ± 0.05%). Head injury risk depended on seatbelt use, crash type and crash severity (delta V). Seatbelt use lowered the risk for AIS 4+ head injury by 74.8% and skull fracture by 73.2%.Conclusions: Concussions occur in about one out of 61 occupants in tow-away crashes. The risk was highest in rollover crashes (4.73% ± 1.09%) and it was reduced 69.2% by seatbelt use. Severe brain injuries occurred less often and the risk was also reduced by seatbelt use.

description: OntoCommons aims at working towards interoperability by means of harmonization with respect to upper-level ontologies and facilitating agreement in domain ontology development. As part of the effort of work package 3, an objective of OntoCommons is to collect and formalize requirements from the stakeholders' community by domain in terms of ontology development and exploitation. This report presents a set of functional and non-functional requirements based on the needs of demonstrators but also from stakeholders' (including domain experts') inputs - from inside and outside the project - collected through a set of expert group meetings and workshops. This deliverable (D3.5) is an extension of the 3.4 deliverable on the collection of such requirements driven by the data provided by the demonstrators. This deliverable will serve as input for the investigation of intra- and cross-domain interoperability in Task 3.4, as well as for the ontology knowledge graph validation in Task 4.6. The primary challenge for preparing this deliverable arose from the long interactions and negotiations with the demonstrators’ organisations regarding the collection of data. Although the members of T3.3 envisioned collecting significant amount of data from the use cases, it faced hurdles in overcoming the security and privacy concerns of the companies regarding sharing their proprietary data. The members were obligated to change their strategy repeatedly to achieve the goal to some extent, delaying the completion of the report. This report contains at least some Ontologydata sets acquired from few demonstrators to that end.

description: Exact solutions of the Routing, Modulation, and Spectrum Allocation (RMSA) problem in Elastic Optical Networks (EONs), so that the number of admitted demands is maximized while those of regenerators and frequency slots used are minimized, require a complex ILP formulation taking into account frequency-slot continuity and contiguity. We introduce the first such formulation, ending a hiatus of some years since the last ILP formulation for a much simpler RMSA variation was introduced. By exploiting a number of problem and solver specificities, we use the NSFNET topology to illustrate the practicality and importance of obtaining exact solutions.

description: Multi-task reinforcement learning could enable robots to scale across a wide variety of manipulation tasks in homes and workplaces. However, generalizing from one task to another and mitigating negative task interference still remains a challenge. Addressing this challenge by successfully sharing information across tasks will depend on how well the structure underlying the tasks is captured. In this work, we introduce our new architecture, Projected Task-Specific Layers (PTSL), that leverages a common policy with dense task-specific corrections through task-specific layers to better express shared and variable task information. We then show that our model outperforms the state of the art on the MT10 and MT50 benchmarks of Meta-World consisting of 10 and 50 goal-conditioned tasks for a Sawyer arm.

description: We investigate the consequences of introducing non-uniform initial conditions in the dynamics of spin ensembles characterized by all-to-all interactions. Specifically, our study involves the preparation of a set of semi-classical spin ensembles with varying orientations. Through this setup, we explore the influence of such non-uniform initial states on the disruption of permutational invariance. Comparing this approach to the traditional scenario of initializing with spins uniformly aligned, we find that the dynamics of the spin ensemble now spans a more expansive effective Hilbert space. This enlargement arises due to the inclusion of off-diagonal coherences between distinct total angular momentum subspaces - an aspect typically absent in conventional treatments of all-to-all spin dynamics. Conceptually, the dynamic evolution can be understood as a composite of multiple homogeneous sub-ensembles navigating through constrained subspaces. Notably, observables that are sensitive to the non-uniformity of initial conditions exhibit discernible signatures of these off-diagonal coherences. We adopt this fresh perspective to reexamine the relaxation phenomena exhibited by the Dicke model, as well as a prototypical example of a boundary time crystal. Intriguingly, ensembles initialized with inhomogeneous initial conditions can show distinctive behaviors when contrasted with canonical instances of collective dynamics. These behaviors encompass the emergence of novel gapless excitations, the manifestation of limit-cycles featuring dressed frequencies due to superradiance, instances of frequency locking or beating synchronizations, and even the introduction of ``extra'' dimensions within the dynamics. In closing, we provide a brief overview of the potential implications of our findings in the context of modern cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) platforms.

description: Probing quantum entanglement with macroscopic objects allows us to test quantum mechanics in new regimes. One way to realize such behavior is to couple a macroscopic mechanical oscillator to a continuous light field via radiation pressure. In view of this, the system that is discussed comprises an optomechanical cavity driven by a coherent optical field in the unresolved sideband regime where we assume Gaussian states and dynamics. We develop a framework to quantify the amount of entanglement in the system numerically. Different from previous work, we treat non-Markovian noise and take into account both the continuous optical field and the cavity mode. We apply our framework to the case of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and discuss the parameter regimes where entanglement exists, even in the presence of quantum and classical noises.
The Singapore police force 1918 - 1938
Creators: name: Andrew, Martin Kenneth
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University

description: The Singapore Police Force was ill prepared in 1918 for the next two decades it was to face. It was seriously understaffed due to the First World War and had serious trouble coping with emergent Chinese nationalism and the secret society violence that erupted in 1919 and throughout the 1920s. The 1919 anti-Japanese riots showed the power of Chinese nationalism, and the colonial authorities were determined to keep a lid on that and any other political movements. That the police force succeeded was due to its officers' professionalism and the reorganisation that occurred under the Denham reforms in the late 1920s. Central to their success, the Denham Reforms discontinued the practice of the police sharing the suppressing of secret societies and communism with the Chinese Protectorate. The Denham reforms also established specialist teams inside the branch to fight the various clan based secret societies. The Special Branch was made an independent part of the police force and worked with other colonial police forces to attack communism in Singapore and other parts of Asia. Although crippled by a series of well planned raids in the late 1920s and early 1930s the communists nevertheless managed to keep itself together. From 1937 by using the various anti-Japanese National Salvation movements the Malayan Communist Party regained its strength. The strength of the economy after the turmoil of the depression also the secret societies regain some of their former strength. However both were kept in check as the Singapore Police Force had benefited from the reorganisations that had taken place due to the Denham reforms. The 1930s also saw the police force consolidate and receive new arms and equipment so by 1938 the Singapore Police Force was as well equipped for riot control as the world's best.

description: La ragionevolezza è oggetto di riflessione in relazione ad alcuni determinati settori del diritto, in special modo in seno alla giurisprudenza della Corte Costituzionale italiana in cui è costantemente richiamata in relazione alla risoluzione di controversi casi giuridici. Cosicché nel diritto costituzionale la ragionevolezza sembra utilizzata in differenti livelli di indagine, facendo attenzione ad evitare il rischio di farla apparire come un guscio vuoto. Prendendo spunto dalla riflessione della più accorta dottrina, accompagnata dall’elaborazione giurisprudenziale, si tenterà di dimostrare il ruolo decisivo svolto dalla ragionevolezza in ordine alla quotidiana operatività nella dinamica dell’intero sistema. Tanto da indurre a ritenere che ad essa possa essere assegnata una funzione architettonica insostituibile, quella di essere garante di delicati equilibri. Infatti, l’esigenza di equilibrio tra principi e valori fondamentali, in collisione e divergenti, si può risolvere solo mediante un bilanciamento e quindi tramite un richiamo anche alla ragionevolezza.

description: Weyl semimetals have nodes in their electronic structure at which electrons attain a definite chirality. Due to the chiral anomaly, the non-conservation of charges with given chirality, the axion term appears in their effective electromagnetic action. We determine how this affects the properties of time-reversal invariant Weyl {\it superconductors} (SCs) in the London regime. For type II SCs the axion coupling generates magnetic $B$-fields transverse to vortices, which become unstable at a critical coupling so that a transition into type I SC ensues. In this regime an applied $B$-field not only decays inside the SC within the London penetration depth, but the axion coupling generates an additional perpendicular field. Consequently, when penetrating into the bulk the $B$-field starts to steadily rotate away from the applied field. At a critical coupling the screening of the magnetic field breaks down. The novel chiral superconducting state that emerges has a periodically divergent susceptibility that separates onsets of chiral Meissner regimes. The chiral anomaly thus leaves very crisp experimental signatures in structurally chiral Weyl SCs with an axion response.

description: The institution of adoption is not new, existed in all nations since antiquity. Currently she is treated in particular by the Statute of Children and Adolescents. The adoption is in measure of family placement, giving the child and family to a child for the family. By adopting some effects arise, such as rupture of ties with the biological family, the impediment to marriage, the use of surnames of the adopter and the right to food and to succeed. Even if the person has been adopted and / or their civil registry included a father who is not the biological, she has the right to have their genetic origin known. The recognition of ancestry, such as paternity, is performed by examining DNA and is a highly personal right, since it is a right identity. Through action research paternity, seek to know the ancestry and obtain the rights arising from the relationship, which does not happen in recognizing genetic search so that only know their origin, their genetic order. As it happens, the name being also a right identity and personality which differentiates, identifies and recognizes the person in the family and society, the person would be acceptable to use the surname of the biological family in any case to enforce that right. Moreover, knowing that in the case of adoption, the only link between the adoptee and the biological family is the impediment to marriage, using the surname would be both a consequence and assistance to such impediment is respected.

description: Quantifying performance of methods for tracking and mapping tissue in endoscopic environments is essential for enabling image guidance and automation of medical interventions and surgery. Datasets developed so far either use rigid environments, visible markers, or require annotators to label salient points in videos after collection. These are respectively: not general, visible to algorithms, or costly and error-prone. We introduce a novel labeling methodology along with a dataset that uses said methodology, Surgical Tattoos in Infrared (STIR). STIR has labels that are persistent but invisible to visible spectrum algorithms. This is done by labelling tissue points with IR-fluorescent dye, indocyanine green (ICG), and then collecting visible light video clips. STIR comprises hundreds of stereo video clips in both in-vivo and ex-vivo scenes with start and end points labelled in the IR spectrum. With over 3,000 labelled points, STIR will help to quantify and enable better analysis of tracking and mapping methods. After introducing STIR, we analyze multiple different frame-based tracking methods on STIR using both 3D and 2D endpoint error and accuracy metrics. STIR is available at https://dx.doi.org/10.21227/w8g4-g548

description: The relationship between retention behavior of eleven 1,6-anhydrohexose and D-aldopentose derivatives and their molecular characteristics was studied using quantitative structure–retention relationships (QSRR) approach. Retention parameters RM0, obtained by normal-phase thin-layer chromatography, were correlated with molecular and in silico absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) descriptors. For describing the retention behavior of investigated molecules and determining the similarities between molecules, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed, followed by hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and multiple linear regression (MLR). For both sets of descriptors, PCA resulted in a model with the two significant principal components (PCs). HCA was conducted to confirm the grouping of the compounds already obtained by PCA. MLR equations were established for both sets of descriptors and statistical quality of the generated models was determined by standard statistical measures and cross-validation parameters. According to statistical validation, two very good models with molecular and one with in silico ADME descriptors were obtained. Very good predictive ability of the established mathematical models allows us to estimate retention behavior of structurally similar compounds and to understand their behavior in similar chromatographic systems.

To solve this issue, this article utilizes the non-equilibrium plasma generated by Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) technology to treat diesel simulated oily wastewater under the synergistic effect of AC/Mn + TiO2 catalyst. The results indicate that: After 180 min of DBD treatment, the degradation rates of diesel and Tween-80 were 60.9% and 53.2%, respectively; after 180 min of synergistic DBD treatment with AC/Mn + TiO2 catalyst, the degradation rates of diesel and Tween-80 were 76.0% and 71.7%, respectively, with a significant increase in degradation rates. The SEM characterization of the catalyst before and after the reaction was compared, and it was found that the surface of the crystal after the reaction was smooth. XPS characterization showed that Mn electron migration leads to the generation of positively charged holes on the valence band of TiO2. These all demonstrate that the synergistic effect of DBD and catalyst promotes the degradation of oily wastewater.

description: The relationship between retention behavior of eleven 1,6-anhydrohexose and D-aldopentose derivatives and their molecular characteristics was studied using Quantitative Structure-Retention Relationships (QSRR) approach. Retention parameters RM0, obtained by normal-phase thin-layer chromatography, were correlated with molecular and in silico ADME descriptors. For describing the retention behavior of investigated molecules and determining the similarities between molecules, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed, followed by hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and multiple linear regression (MLR). For both sets of descriptors, PCA resulted in a model with the two significant PCs. HCA was conducted to confirm the grouping of the compounds already obtained by PCA. MLR equations were established for both sets of descriptors and statistical quality of the generated models was determined by standard statistical measures and cross-validation parameters. According to statistical validation, two very good models with molecular and one with in silico ADME descriptors were obtained. Very good predictive ability of the established mathematical models allows us to estimate retention behavior of structurally similar compounds and to understand their behavior in similar chromatographic systems.

description: Habitat destruction, biological invasions and their interaction are global drivers of biodiversity loss. The New Caledonian hotspot of biodiversity is threatened by both anthropogenic fires and invasive ants: it is important to understand their impacts on its biota. Because biodiversity spans several levels of organisation (from genes to communities) and relates to different attributes (compositional, structural and functional), this thesis takes a hierarchical approach to address this issue. Ants are of great ecological importance, especially in tropical biomes, and their classification into functional groups provides a global framework for analysing their response to disturbance. My aims were therefore to investigate the impacts of anthropogenic fires and invasive ants, and their interaction, on the native New Caledonian ant fauna at different spatial (global, regional, local) and temporal (short and long term) scales, and at different levels of biological organisation (community, species, genes). The study contributes to an improved knowledge of the New Caledonian ants, by revealing the lack of specialised subterranean species, and by investigating island-scale patterns of ant communities, in relation to habitat and invasion. The mechanisms by which fire impacts native ants, either as a standalone process or in association with invasion could be identified. In particular, I show that fire, by creating macro- and microhabitats favoured by invasive ants, facilitates invasion, which then causes further diversity declines, either in the short- (post burning) or long-term (forest fragmentation). The hierarchical approach used enabled the detection of contrasting traitderived responses at the species and genetic level, in addition to responses measured at the community level. This study highlights the advantage of a holistic approach to investigating biodiversity-related issues.
Spin susceptibility in interacting two-dimensional semiconductors and bilayer systems at first order: Kohn anomalies and spin density wave ordering

description: This work is an analytic theoretical study of a 2D semiconductor with a Fermi surface that is split by the Zeeman coupling of electron spins to an external magnetic field in the presence of electron-electron interactions. For the first time, we calculate the spin susceptibility for long-range and finite-range interactions diagrammatically, and find a resonant peak structure at the Kohn anomaly already in first-order perturbation theory. In contrast to the density-density correlator that is suppressed due to the large electrostatic energy required to stabilize charge density order, the spin susceptibility does not suffer from electrostatic screening effects, thus favouring spin-density-wave order in 2D semiconductors. Our results impose significant consequences for determining magnetic phases in 2D semiconductors. For example, a strongly enhanced Kohn anomaly may result in helical ordering of magnetic impurities due to the RKKY interaction. Furthermore, the spin degree of freedom can equally represent a layer pseudospin in the case of bilayer materials. In this case, the external "magnetic field" is a combination of layer bias and interlayer hopping. The sharp peak of the 2D static spin susceptibility may then be responsible for dipole-density-wave order in bilayer materials at large enough electron-phonon coupling.

description: We present the JVNV, a Japanese emotional speech corpus with verbal content and nonverbal vocalizations whose scripts are generated by a large-scale language model. Existing emotional speech corpora lack not only proper emotional scripts but also nonverbal vocalizations (NVs) that are essential expressions in spoken language to express emotions. We propose an automatic script generation method to produce emotional scripts by providing seed words with sentiment polarity and phrases of nonverbal vocalizations to ChatGPT using prompt engineering. We select 514 scripts with balanced phoneme coverage from the generated candidate scripts with the assistance of emotion confidence scores and language fluency scores. We demonstrate the effectiveness of JVNV by showing that JVNV has better phoneme coverage and emotion recognizability than previous Japanese emotional speech corpora. We then benchmark JVNV on emotional text-to-speech synthesis using discrete codes to represent NVs. We show that there still exists a gap between the performance of synthesizing read-aloud speech and emotional speech, and adding NVs in the speech makes the task even harder, which brings new challenges for this task and makes JVNV a valuable resource for relevant works in the future. To our best knowledge, JVNV is the first speech corpus that generates scripts automatically using large language models.

The thresholds of neurons can be increased or decreased depending on the desired application-specific spike generation rate. This mechanism provides us with a flexible design and scalable circuit structure. We demonstrate the trainable neuron structure under different operating scenarios. The circuits are designed and optimized for the MIT LL SFQ5ee fabrication process. Margin values for all parameters are above 25\% with a 3GHz throughput for a 16-input neuron.

description: New exact formulas are derived for systems involving Landau-Zener transition rates and for absorption spectra in quantum dots. These rectify previous inaccurate approximations utilized in experimental studies. The exact formulas give an explicit expression for the maxima and minima of the transition rate at any oscillating period and reveal a number of striking physical consequences, such as the suppression of oscillations for half-integer values of the detuning parameter and that the periodic dependence on the detuning parameter changes at special values of the driving field amplitude. The fluorescence spectra of quantum dots exhibit similar properties.

description: Recent experimental tests of Bell inequalities confirm that entangled quantum systems cannot be described by local classical theories but still do not answer the question whether or not quantum systems could in principle be modelled by linear hidden variable theories. In this paper, we study the quantum trajectories of a single qubit that experiences a sequence of repeated generalised measurements. It is shown that this system, which constitutes a Hidden Quantum Markov Model, is more likely to produce complex time correlations than any classical Hidden Markov Model with two output symbols. From this, we conclude that quantum physics cannot be replaced by linear hidden variable theories. Indeed, it has already been recognised that not only entanglement but also non-classical time correlations of quantum systems with quantum feedback are a valuable resource for quantum technology applications.

description: In this paper, we focus on massive Einstein-dilaton gravity including the coupling of dilaton scalar field to massive graviton terms, and then derive static and spherically symmetric solutions of dilatonic black holes in four dimensional spacetime. We find that the dilatonic black hole could possess two horizons (event and cosmological), extreme (Nariai) and naked singularity for the suitably fixed parameters. In addition, we investigate thermodynamic properties of these dilatonic black holes, and check the corresponding first law of black hole thermodynamics. Extending to the massive Einstein-dilaton gravity in high dimensions, we further obtain the dilatonic black hole solutions in $(d+1)$ dimensional spacetime.
