description: Active learning continues to remain significant in the industry since it is data efficient. Not only is it cost effective on a constrained budget, continuous refinement of the model allows for early detection and resolution of failure scenarios during the model development stage. Identifying and fixing failures with the model is crucial as industrial applications demand that the underlying model performs accurately in all foreseeable use cases. One popular state-of-the-art technique that specializes in continuously refining the model via failure identification is Learning Loss. Although simple and elegant, this approach is empirically motivated. Our paper develops a foundation for Learning Loss which enables us to propose a novel modification we call LearningLoss++. We show that gradients are crucial in interpreting how Learning Loss works, with rigorous analysis and comparison of the gradients between Learning Loss and LearningLoss++. We also propose a convolutional architecture that combines features at different scales to predict the loss. We validate LearningLoss++ for regression on the task of human pose estimation (using MPII and LSP datasets), as done in Learning Loss. We show that LearningLoss++ outperforms in identifying scenarios where the model is likely to perform poorly, which on model refinement translates into reliable performance in the open world.

description: This Article explores the transitional, post-transitional and strategic narratives about the wars in the former Yugoslavia, more specifically in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The criminal justice narrative created by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) dominates the transitional narratives about the Yugoslav wars. It is not uncommon that both sides - the victims and the perpetrators - express dissatisfaction with the justice outcome depending on the verdict. Transitional narratives based on the criminal trials are expected to provide clarity on the distinction between "bad" and "good" guys; between perpetrators and victims; between the criminality of the perpetrating side and the response of the victim's side. With the passage of time, all transitional narratives will be challenged by post-transitional narratives, launched by various societal and political actors for different reasons with specific objectives behind them. For example, the ruling post-conflict elites can decide to create a post-transitional narrative in which they will try to re-interpret or counter the existing transitional narratives with the goal to exonerate the policies of the predecessor regime that led to the violence by reintroducing the "politics of the past" into the "politics of the present" in the perusal of the still to be achieved political objectives of the predecessor regime. Using the example of the ICTY genocide judgments, this Article will explore how its transitional narrative of genocide has been undermined by the post-transitional narratives launched by the Serbian post-conflict elites in the perusal of the unfulfilled strategic goals of the predecessor regimes.

description: The liquid cone-jet mode can be produced upon stimulation by a co-flowing gas sheath. Most applications deal with the jet breakup, leading to either of two droplet generation regimes: jetting and dripping. The cone-jet flow pattern is explored by direct axisymmetric VOF numerical simulation; its evolution is studied as the liquid flow-rate is increased around the jetting-dripping transition. As observed in other focused flows such as electrospraying cones upon steady thread emission, the flow displays a strong recirculating pattern within the conical meniscus; it is shown to play a role on the stability of the system, being a precursor to the onset of dripping. Close to the minimum liquid flow rate for steady jetting, the recirculation cell penetrates into the feed tube. Both the jet diameter and the size of the cell are accurately estimated by a simple theoretical model. In addition, the transition from jetting to dripping is numerically analyzed in detail in some illustrative cases, and compared, to good agreement, with a set of experiments.

description: Polymer-Electrolyte-Membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems will contribute to enable climate-neutral mobility through the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. PEM fuel cells address applications which are hardly decarbonized by HV batteries. But apart from its advantages, such as short refueling times and higher energy densities related to batteries or locally emission-free operation compared to conventional drivetrains, the fuel cell technology still faces challenges that inhibit its wide market penetration. Especially the low production volumes result in costly manufacturing processes. The assembly of the fuel cell stack and balance-of-plant components to a system is predominantly of manufactory character. There is a consensus in the literature that scaling up the production is associated with cost reduction effects. But in order to increase the demand that justifies a growth in unit numbers, the costs per system have to be reduced. With regard to this so-called "hen-and-egg problem", a reduction of production costs for small output numbers is necessary, while already considering the future necessity to scale the production. This paper discusses the development of scalable production concepts for PEM fuel cell system assemblies. In addition to a modular production concept, the associated production scenarios are also considered. For a generic fuel cell system, a possible assembly sequence and assembly tasks are derived from the bill of materials. The assembly durations for the individual steps are then determined according to the Methods-Time-Measurement (MTM) methodology. This methodological approach is intended to provide an estimate for each process step in the assembly and can be transferred to other fuel cell systems. The paper shows how a bill of materials can be used to estimate the cycle time for a system, but also the cycle time for defined stations. In addition, by considering different scaling mechanisms, further improvements in the assembly process are shown, based on the results from the MTM analysis.

description: This work covers methodology of solving QCD evolution equation of the parton distribution using Markovian Monte Carlo (MMC) algorithms in a class of models ranging from DGLAP to CCFM. One of the purposes of the above MMCs is to test the other more sophisticated Monte Carlo programs, the so-called Constrained Monte Carlo (CMC) programs, which will be used as a building block in the parton shower MC. This is why the mapping of the evolution variables (eikonal variable and evolution time) into four-momenta is also defined and tested. The evolution time is identified with the rapidity variable of the emitted parton. The presented MMCs are tested independently, with ~0.1% precision, against the non-MC program APCheb especially devised for this purpose.

description: We study Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) inflation models with multiple scalar fields. We show that the adiabatic and entropy modes propagate with a common effective sound speed and are thus amplified at the sound horizon crossing. In the small sound speed limit, we find that the amplitude of the entropy modes is much higher than that of the adiabatic modes. We show that this could strongly affect the observable curvature power spectrum as well as the amplitude of non-Gaussianities, although their shape remains as in the single-field DBI case.

New Dehydrogenase/Reductase as Biocatalysts for Stereoselective Reduction of Prochiral Ketones
Creators: name: Pennacchio, Angela
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2013

description: Abstract
Biocatalysis is well-matched to chemical synthesis in the pharmaceutical as well as the agrochemical and flavours industry. A significant number of products are chiral in at least one center, and many of them have multiple chiral centers. These compounds are usually manufactured in single isomer form since the current Food and Drug Administration regulations demand proof that the non-therapeutic isomer is non-toxic. The synthesis of a chiral center requires enantio and regioselective catalysts, and enzymes are consistently the most selective catalysts available being able to perform reactions under mild conditions of pH value, temperature, and pressure in aqueous solutions, a greener approach to chemistry, with remarkable chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. Chiral alcohols are very important precursors for a large number of drugs, agrochemical and flavours. Their production by asymmetric bioreduction of a prochiral carbonyl precursor is becoming well-established in the field of biocatalysis. Enzymes that catalyze ketone reductions (known as ketoreductases) are a reliable source of high enantiomeric excess chiral alcohols.
The aim of the present PhD research is to characterize new alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) for the synthesis of chiral secondary alcohols and the structural study of the isolated enzymes for the understanding of the structure-function relationships.
The basic approach was to identify oxidoreductases with these distinctive features, operational stability and NAD dependency, by looking for in the genome of thermophilic microorganisms for genes coding putative short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) with an acidic residue which determines NADH specificity in a particular position of the sequence.
In the present work an applicative development of Thermus termophilus ADH in the asymmetric synthesis of two valuable chiral building blocks methyl (R)-mandelato and methyl (R)-o-chloromandelate at lab scale was carried out, and adaption of two different enzyme-coupled systems for the cofactor regeneration system was studied.
Two novel NADH dependent-ADHs identified in the crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius  SaADH and SaADH2 were biochemically characterized, a suitable cofactor regeneration system for the analytical study of the stereoselectivity both enzymes was utilized, moreover, the solved SaADH2 3D structure was discussed.
Finally, an applicative utilization of Bacillus stearothermophilus ADH both as an isolated enzyme, and in recombinant E. coli whole cells in the synthesis of cinnamyl alcohol, a versatile fine chemical, by chemoselective reduction of cinnamaldehyde at gram scale was described.

description: This Article summarizes the conclusions for the Special Section on memory laws that was published by European Papers in two parts over 2020, and explores the nexus between the emerging phenomenon of mnemonic constitutionalism and democratic backsliding. It looks at their interactions through the lens of the legal governance of history and the historical policy implemented by the Central and East European (CEE) States, with Poland and Hungary as the prime subjects of consideration and analysis. The mushrooming of memory laws in CEE throughout the 2010s, which went hand-in-hand with democratic backsliding in the region, is well documented in the Special Section. Memory laws (lois mémorielles) initially emerged as a specific phenomenon within criminal law in Western Europe almost three decades ago. However, the recent wave of memory laws in CEE transcends criminal legislation and has acquired constitutional significance, which this Article analyses under the heading of mnemonic constitutionalism. After setting out an analytical framework of mnemonic constitutionalism, the Article focuses on the two specific CEE examples of Hungary and Poland. In the last decade, both countries have promulgated either constitutional (in case of Hungary) or quasi-constitutional (in case of Poland) provisions that indicate a strong turn towards mnemonic constitutionalism. The Article concludes that Fidesz (in Hungary) and PiS (in Poland) regimes perceive mnemonic constitutionalism not only as an ideological basis for the governance of historical memory but also as an ontological foundation to justify "illiberal democracies".
Rational hypnotherapy : a therapeutic intervention for anxiety neurosis and panic attacks

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The efficacy of a rational hypnotherapeutic intervention for anxiety states and panic attacks is the focus of this research. Based on a single subject research design, the co-researcher was asked to complete pre-therapy, during and post-therapy assessments of personality, self-concept, mood states, stress and physiological symptoms. The baseline period was two weeks and therapy lasted 13 weeks. There were two weeks of post-therapy measures and finally a six-month follow-up study. The intervention was comprised of progressive relaxation, guided imagery, a cognitive restructuring and behaviour rehearsal based on an A-B-C-D-E paradigm. The subject examined her self-defeating or irrational thoughts in critical incidents and her subjective emotional behavioural and physiological reactions. She was then asked to substitute her own new more rational thoughts in the same situation. Post-therapy results from the objective tests and self-reports demonstrated significant improvement in almost all areas. Following the rational hypnotherapeutic intervention the co-researcher showed a normal personality profile, increased self-concept, improvement in mood states and a significant reduction in stress and physiological symptoms. This improvement was maintained in the six-month follow-up. Rational hypnotherapy is effective, relatively short-term and encourages the client to play an active role in finding new ways to deal effectively with problems and accept control over his/her own life.

description: This study looks for signals of economic awareness on online social media and tests their significance in economic predictions. The study analyses, over a period of two years, the relationship between the West Texas Intermediate daily crude oil price and multiple predictors extracted from Twitter, Google Trends, Wikipedia, and the Global Data on Events, Language, and Tone database (GDELT). Semantic analysis is applied to study the sentiment, emotionality and complexity of the language used. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with Explanatory Variable (ARIMAX) models are used to make predictions and to confirm the value of the study variables. Results show that the combined analysis of the four media platforms carries valuable information in making financial forecasting. Twitter language complexity, GDELT number of articles and Wikipedia page reads have the highest predictive power. This study also allows a comparison of the different fore-sighting abilities of each platform, in terms of how many days ahead a platform can predict a price movement before it happens. In comparison with previous work, more media sources and more dimensions of the interaction and of the language used are combined in a joint analysis.

Consequently, the authors ask: what exactly is the intention of this memorial, and how is history instrumentalised by States? While the book does not wholly answer this question, a reply could be hypothesised by reviewing it in tandem with the Palgrave Handbook of State-Sponsored History after 1945 (B. Bevernage, N. Wouters (eds), The Palgrave Handbook of State-Sponsored History after 1945, London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018). Due to the differing nature of the two books, this Article focuses on questions relating to the instrumentalization of memorials - the claiming of places of memory.

description: As European Union competences gradually increase, criminal law is one of the areas of EU law on which most attention is focused. At the heart of this field, criminal procedural law is made particularly interesting by its position at the intersection of two sectors that were traditionally excluded from the European Union's harmonisation competences: criminal law and procedural law. Harmonisation and the "cross-fertilisation" of criminal procedural law is happening first through the influence of technical and institutional adjustments necessary to improve communication and cooperation between judicial authorities or to accommodate new actors such as the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), second through the establishment of common (or, in any case, compatible) procedural standards as a necessary complement in order to ensure the efficiency of cooperation mechanisms. Although the agenda set in the Tampere8 and Stockholm9 programmes remains the main source of inspiration for EU interventions in criminal procedural law, the changing political landscape has led to greater importance being given to topics such as terrorism and the need to preserve the rule of law. This Special Section is the result of a conference held at the University of Nantes on 6 and 7 February 2020, titled Towards European Criminal Procedural Law. It includes most of the papers presented at the event, focusing on two main themes: the systemic requirements for a European law of criminal procedure and the different instruments and rules contributing to the emergence of this new field of European law.

description: Star-forming regions have been proposed as potential Galactic cosmic-ray accelerators for decades. Cosmic-ray acceleration can be probed through observations of gamma-rays produced in inelastic proton-proton collisions, at GeV and TeV energies. In this paper, we analyze more than 11 years of Fermi-LAT data from the direction of Westerlund 2, one of the most massive and best-studied star-forming regions in our Galaxy. In particular, we investigate the characteristics of the bright pulsar PSR J1023-5746 that dominates the gamma-ray emission below a few GeV at the position of Westerlund 2, and the underlying extended source FGES J1023.3-5747. The analysis results in a clear identification of FGES J1023.3-5747 as the GeV counterpart of the TeV source HESS J1023-575, through its morphological and spectral properties. This identification provides new clues about the origin of the HESS J1023-575 gamma-ray emission, favouring a hadronic origin of the emission, powered by Westerlund 2, rather than a leptonic origin related to either the pulsar wind nebula associated with PSR J1023-5746 or the cluster itself. This result indirectly supports the hypothesis that star-forming regions can contribute to the cosmic-ray sea observed in our Galaxy

description: Individualisation of products and ever-shorter product lifecycles require manufacturing companies to quickly reconfigure their production and adapt to changing requirements. While most of the existing literature focuses on organisational structures or hardware requirements for reconfigurability, requirements and best practices for logical reconfigurations of automated production systems are only sparsely covered. In practice, logical system reconfigurations require adjustments to the software, which is often done manually by experts. With the ongoing automation and digitisation of manufacturing systems in the context of Industry4.0, the need for automated software reconfigurations is increasing. However, heterogeneous and proprietary technologies in the field of industrial automation pose a hurdle to overcome for generally applicable approaches for logical reconfigurations in the industrial domain. Therefore, this paper reviews available technologies that can be used to solve the problem of automated software reconfigurations. For this purpose, an architecture and a procedure are proposed on how to use these technologies for automatic adaptation and virtual commissioning of control software in industrial automation. To demonstrate the interoperability of the approach, collective cloud manufacturing is used as a composing platform. The presented approach further includes a domain-specific capability model for the specification of software artefacts to be generated, allowing jobs to be described and matched on the platform. The core element is a code generator for generating and orchestrating the control code for process execution using the reconfigurable digital twin as a validator on the platform. The approach is evaluated and demonstrated in a real-world use case of a modular disassembly station.

description: This thesis work was developed in conjunction with the activities of the EC FP7 Adaptive Control of Manufacturing Processes for a New Generation of Jet Engine Components (ACCENT) Project (See section 1.4).
Most of the experimental activities were carried out at AVIO SpA facilities, Pomigliano d’Arco, Naples; Avio SpA is an industrial partner in the EC FP7 ACCENT Project.
The goals of this thesis work are explained below.
First of all, the design and realization of an experimental campaign of turning tests on a nickel base alloy of aeronautical interest (Inconel 718) was carried out in an industrial environment.
A multi sensor monitoring system, endowed with diverse sensing units was designed, assembled, calibrated and employed during machining tests in order to acquire different sensor signals on an online basis.
Raw signals acquired were subjected to conventional and advanced signal analysis methods in order to extract significant features useful for decision making on process conditions.
This thesis work includes material characterization tests carried out to investigate the surface integrity of the workpiece as well as the state of the tool wear with the scope of correlating these conditions to sensor signals features.
By the implementation of a decision making support system, sensor signal features extracted by signal processing techniques were utilized for the identification of defects in the workpiece due to the machining process, as revealed by the material characterization tests.
Decision making was carried out by diverse Neural Network pattern recognition paradigms, designed and implemented for the purpose.

Importantly, the segmentation is scale independent, so all structures are identified without prejudice as to their size or shape. The method is ideally suited for extracting catalogues of clusters, walls, and filaments from samples of galaxies in redshift surveys or from particles in cosmological N-body simulations: it makes no prior assumptions about the scale or shape of the structures.}

description: High statistics data sets from experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with small and large collision species have enabled a wealth of new flow measurements, including the event-by-event correlation between observables. One exciting such observable $ρ(v^{2}_{n},[p_{T}])$ gauges the correlation between the mean transverse momentum of particles in an event and the various flow coefficients ($v_n$) in the same event [1]. Recently it has been proposed that very low multiplicity events may be sensitive to initial-state glasma correlations [2] rather than flow-related dynamics. We find utilizing the IP-JAZMA framework that the color domain explanation for the glasma results are incomplete. We then explore predictions from PYTHIA-8, and the version for including nuclear collisions called PYTHIA-ANGANTYR, which have only non-flow correlations and the AMPT model which has both non-flow and flow-type correlations. We find that PYTHIA-ANGANTYR has non-flow contributions to $ρ(v^{2}_{n},[p_{T}])$ in p+O, p+Pb, O+O collisions that are positive at low multiplicity and comparable to the glasma correlations. It is striking that in PYTHIA-8 in p+p collisions there is actually a sign-change from positive to negative $ρ(v^{2}_{n},[p_{T}])$ as a function of multiplicity. The AMPT results match the experimental data general trends in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC, except at low multiplicity where AMPT has the opposite sign. In p+Pb collisions, AMPT has the opposite sign from experimental data and we explore this within the context of parton geometry. Predictions for p+O, O+O, and Xe+Xe are also presented.

description: Il lavoro di tesi ha come scopo la ricerca dei modi e delle forme  per gestire in maniera ottimale una microgrid in un contesto di mercato liberalizzato dell’energia.
La tesi, suddivisibile in 3 sezioni,  è articolata in sei capitoli: i primi  tre sono improntati sull’analisi della letteratura;  gli altri, invece, sono indirizzati alla individuazione di un modello di  gestione ottima della microgrid e all’implementazione di casi studio.

Nella prima parte del lavoro, attraverso l’analisi della letteratura esistente, vengono definiti il concetto di microgrid e le problematiche ad essa connessa; vengono, inoltre, individuati i modelli di gestione di rete già presenti.

Nella seconda sezione, approfondita nel capitolo quarto, gli studi hanno portato ad individuare come gestione economica ottima della microgrid la gestione di breve termine. In genere, analogamente a quanto accade nella gestione  monopolista del sistema di potenza, il problema della gestione di breve termine viene risolto suddividendolo in tre sottoproblemi: la determinazione degli stoccaggi e della potenza scambiata con la rete; l’unit commitment;  la ripartizione termoelettrica.
Con il primo sottoproblema, si rappresenta la rete elettrica interna con un sistema a sbarra e si determina, ora per ora, l ‘interscambio con la rete di distribuzione, la quantità di energia prelevata/immessa negli stoccaggi e la richiesta dei carichi controllabili.
Con il secondo, sempre considerando il sistema sbarra, si procede all’individuazione delle unità da porre in servizio, ora per ora (Unit Commitment).
Con il terzo, si effettua, in ciascuna ora, la ripartizione della produzione tra le diverse unità termoelettriche tenendo conto della rete elettrica interna.

L’ultima parte del lavoro, sviluppata negli ultimi due capitoli, invece, è stata incentrata sulla formulazione del modello di gestione ottima e sulla sua implementazione, analizzando i diversi scenari possibile e le diverse composizioni tecnologiche della microrete.
I risultati hanno permesso di individuare la composizione ottima della microgrid e, di conseguenza, la strategia da perseguire, al fine del raggiungimento dell’ottimo economico.

description: Research needs visibility and persistence in order to be found, cited and re-used. Registering persistent identifiers (PIDs) for research outputs supports this. A PID such as a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) helps researchers to increase the visibility and impact of their publications, research data, and other research outputs. This webinar, organized by AfLIA and DataCite, gives an overview of the value that PIDs provide, how researchers can start using PIDs and how organizations can register DOIs for different research outputs. In addition to speakers from DataCite, representatives from the UbuntuNet Alliance and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) will share their experiences of being a DataCite member.
title: Diode-pumped Tm³⁺-doped sesquioxide lasers for ultrashort pulse applications in the 2μm region
Creators: name: Stevenson, Neil Kenneth
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: This thesis presents the development of Tm³⁺-doped sesquioxide laser sources in the 2–2.1 μm spectral region. The primary focus of this development has been aimed towards high power diode-pumped mode-locked laser sources capable of femtosecond pulse generation. In addition to this, the early development of a compact and low threshold ultrafast laser inscribed waveguide laser has also been realised. Continuous wave characterisation of bulk solid-state crystalline Tm:LuScO₃ and ceramic Tm:Lu₂O₃ lasers has been completed using ~795 nm multimode single emitter laser diode pump sources. Average output powers of 660 mW and 901 mW, and emission wavelengths of 2.1 μm and 2.06 μm were achieved from the Tm:LuScO₃ and Tm:Lu₂O₃ lasers, respectively. In addition, both lasers demonstrated smooth and continuous tuning ranges spanning more than 160 nm in the ~2–2.1 μm spectral region. In the mode-locked regime, pulse durations as short as 170 fs were recorded at an average output power of 113 mW and an emission wavelength of 2094 nm from a diode-pumped mode-locked Tm:LuScO₃ laser through the use of an ion-implanted InGaAsSb quantum-well-based semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. A diode-pumped Tm:Lu₂O₃ laser, utilising the same semiconductor saturable absorber mirror, was able to generate pulses as short as 278 fs at an average output power of 555 mW and a wavelength of 2081 nm through the use of a steeply diving optic axis birefringent filter. This same filter was also used to demonstrate broadly tunable femtosecond pulses in both laser configurations. Subsequent amplification of the ultrashort pulse laser sources realised maximum amplified average output powers of 540 mW and 855 mW, respectively. The results presented in this thesis demonstrate the potential for diode-pumped Tm³⁺-doped sesquioxide laser sources to be developed into an enabler technology for the advancement of a number of photonics applications and techniques in the mid-infrared region.

description: The nonequilibrium dynamics of two dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, in the presence of staggered chemical potential, is investigated using the notion of dynamical quantum phase transition. We contribute to expanding the systematic understanding of the interrelation between the equilibrium quantum phase transition and the dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT). Specifically, we find that dynamical quantum phase transition relies on the existence of massless {\it propagating quasiparticles} as signaled by their impact on the Loschmidt overlap. These massless excitations are a subset of all gapless modes, which leads to quantum phase transitions. The underlying two dimensional model reveals gapless modes, which do not couple to the dynamical quantum phase transitions, while relevant massless quasiparticles present periodic nonanalytic signatures on the Loschmidt amplitude. The topological nature of DQPT is verified by the quantized integer values of the topological order parameter, which gets even values. Moreover, we have shown that the dynamical topolocical order parameter truly captures the topological phase transition on the zero Berry curvature line, where the Chern number is zero and the two dimensional Zak phase is not the proper idicator.

The remarriage family and the former spouse : marital adjustment and family cohesion
Creators: name: Marshall, Deborah Ann

description: It has been suggested that 25% of marriages in Canada are remarriages (Schlesinger, 1981). In such remarriages it has been recommended that the non-custodial parent have minimal contact with the new family (Goldstein, Freud & Solnit, 1973). More recently, therapists have begun to recognise the importance of having permeable boundaries in remarriage families which allow all significant family members to stay involved (Messinger, 1985; Sager et al., 1983). This research study Included 33 families in which the wife had remarried after a divorce, and had children from the previous marriage. A total of 105 subjects participated including 33 wives, 30 stepfathers and 42 adolescents. Employing an anonymous questionnaire format, the following hypotheses were tested: (1) There is a significant relationship between the wife's contact with her former spouse and family cohesion. (2) There is a relationship between contact with the former spouse and marital adjustment. (3) There is a positive relationship between balanced cohesion and marital adjustment. (4) There will be less variance between family members on cohesiveness when there is moderate contact with the former spouse. The total frequency of contact was assessed over a three month period, and subjects were grouped according to No Contact, Telephone Contact Only and Personal Contact. Eighty-two percent of the children were found to have contact with their non-custodial father once per month or less. Statistical analysis supported the relationship between marital adjustment and former spouse contact. Pearson Correlation Coefficients revealed a significant relationship between cohesion and marital adjustment. The strongest relationships were found in the husband scores in both cases. The relationship between cohesion and frequency of contact with the former spouse was not statistically significant. No significant difference in variance on cohesion scores was found between groups with No Contact or Personal Contact with the former spouse. The sample was found to be within the norms (Spanier, 1976) on the marital adjustment measure, and significantly below established norms (Olson et al., 1985) on cohesion.

description: The trends of shorter product lifecycles, customized products, and volatile market environments require manufacturers to reconfigure their production increasingly frequent to maintain competitiveness and customer satisfaction. More frequent reconfigurations, however, are linked to increased efforts in production planning and control (PPC). This poses a challenge for manufacturers, especially in regard of demographic change and shortage of qualified labour, since many tasks in PPC are performed manually by domain experts. Following the paradigm of software-defined manufacturing, this paper targets to enable a higher degree of automation and interoperability in PPC by applying the concepts of service-oriented architecture. As a result, production planners are empowered to orchestrate tasks in PPC without consideration of underlying implementation details. At first, it is investigated how tasks in PPC can be represented as services with the aim of encapsulation and reusability. Secondly, a software architecture based on asset administration shells is presented that allows connection to production data sources and enables integration and usage of such PPC services. In this sense, an approach for mapping asset administrations shells to OpenAPI Specifications is proposed for interoperable and semantic integration of existing services and legacy systems. Lastly, challenges and potential solutions for data integration are discussed considering the present heterogeneity of data sources in manufacturing.
