From COVID-19 Infection to social level disease (SLD)
Creators: name: Kayser, Klaus

Publisher: name: Diagnostic Pathology
Year: 2020

description: AIM: To analyse, diagnose, and forecast the development of the pandemic Corona disease and to transfer the data into a corresponding virtual ‘orders of structure system’. Background: COVID-19 pandemic is a RNA virus transmitted human respiratory tract infection of moderate to high infection rate (20 % – 40 %) and a case fatality ratio of 2 % – 5 %. The infection rate depends upon age and health condition of exposed persons, density of virus droplets, air temperature, legal regulations as well as social life style and behaviour. Stage of prevention: The high modulation rate of virus RNA and its protein structure require protective strategies at cellular and macromolecule level (preventive immunization), individual protection (personal risk) such as mouth masks, strict regulations of the social behaviour, shutdown of restaurants, hotels, of travel, public demonstrations, private festivals, etc. Legal regulations often hinder the state and federal government from acting in fully restrictive manner. Numerous citizens are not convinced of the ordered restrictions. They fear severe damage to their ‘freedom’ and economic situation. Therefore, COVID-19 also causes a social level disease (SLD), and should be diagnosed and treated accordingly. Explanation and diagnosis of a social level disease (SLD): Nature has organized human life in ordered communicative structures which can be represented by horizontal and vertical coordinates. Horizontally arranged neighbouring structures can often replace damaged or lost structures, in contrast to vertical structures. External interaction, forecast and potential repair of involved structures require statistical algorithms. Calculation of entropy at different structure levels is a useful tool to forecast the disease’s course. Conclusions and advices: COVID-19 disease is primarily a RNA virus infection which starts at low level structures (macromolecule) and induces alteration of communicative higher order structures. They include primarily pulmonary cells, airways, additional organs, individual persons, human behaviour, profession, trade, organization of societies, states and countries. Severe changes of social behaviour and civil laws are unavoidable consequences. They belong to basic natural laws of communication, droplet distribution, decay of infectious agents and individual protection.

Verifying Hyperliveness

description: yperLTL is an extension of linear-time temporal logic for the specification of hyperproperties, i.e., temporal properties that relate multiple computation traces. HyperLTL can express information flow policies as well as properties like symmetry in mutual exclusion algorithms or Hamming distances in error-resistant transmission protocols. Previous work on HyperLTL model checking has focussed on the alternation-free fragment of HyperLTL, where verification reduces to checking a standard trace property over an appropriate self-composition of the system. The alternation-free fragment does, however, not cover general hyperliveness properties. Universal formulas, for example, cannot express the secrecy requirement that for every possible value of a secret variable there exists a computation where the value is different while the observations made by the external observer are the same. In this paper, we study the more difficult case of hyperliveness properties expressed as HyperLTL formulas with quantifier alternation. We reduce existential quantification to strategic choice and show that synthesis algorithms can be used to eliminate the existential quantifiers automatically. We furthermore show that this approach can be extended to reactive system synthesis, i.e., to automatically construct a reactive system that is guaranteed to satisfy a given HyperLTL formula.

description: We have investigated Andreev-reflection processes occurring at a clean interface between a $p$-type semiconductor and a conventional superconductor. Our calculations are performed within a generalized Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism where the details of the semiconductor band structure are described by a $6\times 6$ Kane model. It is found that Andreev reflection of light-hole and heavy-hole valence-band carriers is generally possible and that the two valence-band hole types can be converted into each other in the process. The normal-reflection and Andreev-reflection amplitudes depend strongly on the semiconductor's carrier concentration and on the angle of injection. In the special case of perpendicular incidence, Andreev reflection of heavy holes does not occur. Moreover, we find conversion-less Andreev reflection to be impossible above some critical angle, and another critical angle exists above which the conversion of a heavy hole into a light hole cannot occur.

description: The idea of wave mechanics leads naturally to assume the well-known relation $E=\hbar ω$ in the specific form $H=\hbar W$, where $H$ is the classical Hamiltonian of a particle and $W$ is the dispersion relation of the sought-for wave equation. We derive the expression of $H$ in a curved spacetime with an electromagnetic field. Then we derive the Dirac equation from factorizing the polynomial dispersion equation corresponding with $H$. Conversely, summarizing a recent work, we implement the geometrical optics approximation into a canonical form of the Dirac Lagrangian. Euler-Lagrange equations are thus obtained for the amplitude and phase of the wave function. From them, one is led to define a 4-velocity field which obeys exactly the classical equation of motion. The complete de Broglie relations are then derived exact equations.

Diagnosticpathology.eu - Reflections 2020 and Perspectives 2021
Creators: name: Kayser, Klaus
Publisher: name: Diagnostic Pathology
Year: 2020

description: Background and present situation: The journal www.diagnosticpathology.eu experienced a difficult year in 2020 and expects poor perspectives in 2021. It is still of interest to several colleagues and its articles are still cited after years. However, this journal with technically unique features such as publication of virtual slides, preformatted case reports, as well as advanced methods of annotations was not perceived as valuable for the career of the contributing authors. Details: Authors are highly interested in the maximum benefit from their research which is obviously regulated by research financing and / or by their laboratory institution and administration. Each administration has to implement financially oriented regulations in science which are based upon the ‘scoring’ of the publications. Therefore, certain score systems such as citation indices of various algorithms have been created. They possess remarkable financial impact. They automatically support the main stream of journals and regulate the market. Furthermore, competition in open access journals has increased and predatory journals exist. To attract scientists several open access journals do not limit their publication area to specific medical research or disease specification and publish a broad spectrum of research themes, diseases and clinical presentations. Forecast: The year 2021 will become as difficult as the year 2020 for the journal www.diagnosticpathology.eu if its goal and business model will remain. It was based on voluntary resources and focused on innovative research publication only. Therefore, new goals have to be defined. These will include: Redefinition and reorganization of the journal. The journal might not remain a ‘simple’ communication tool for research and science. It might be expanded to become a ‘real research tool’ in scientific communication. New automated features have to be implemented. These might include ‘estimates for future impact’ of published articles based upon entropy considerations and, automated review of submitted articles. Conclusions: We still believe in our basic concept that ‘communication in research’ has to be separated from financial issues. It should take into account that nature can best be understood by investigating in its boundaries.

description: In studies of complex heterogeneous networks, particularly of the Internet, significant attention was paid to analyzing network failures caused by hardware faults or overload, where the network reaction was modeled as rerouting of traffic away from failed or congested elements. Here we model another type of the network reaction to congestion -- a sharp reduction of the input traffic rate through congested routes which occurs on much shorter time scales. We consider the onset of congestion in the Internet where local mismatch between demand and capacity results in traffic losses and show that it can be described as a phase transition characterized by strong non-Gaussian loss fluctuations at a mesoscopic time scale. The fluctuations, caused by noise in input traffic, are exacerbated by the heterogeneous nature of the network manifested in a scale-free load distribution. They result in the network strongly overreacting to the first signs of congestion by significantly reducing input traffic along the communication paths where congestion is utterly negligible.

description: The infrared deep sample (IDS), in the north ecliptical polar region (NEPR), is the first complete, far--IR selected sample, on which numerous studies of galaxy evolution are based. Here we present and analyze the spectral classification of several galaxies in the IDS sample together with rotation curves which allow estimating the lower mass limits of a subsample of objects. We measured fluxes and intensity ratios of the emission lines in the visible region of the spectrum (lambda 4000-9000 A) for 75 galaxy members. Moreover, for some of them (55%), the spectra obtained with the Keck II telescope have sufficient wavelength and spatial resolution to derive their rotation curve. These galaxies turn out to be disk like systems, with a high fraction (~50%) of interacting systems. The spectroscopic classification of 42 galaxies, using the emission-line ratio diagnostic diagrams, shows that the NEPR sample is predominantly composed of starburst galaxies (71%), while the fraction of AGNs (7%) and LINERs (21%) is small. The dynamical analysis allows us to estimate the lower mass limits of 39 galaxies. The rest-frame FIR luminosity distribution of these galaxies spans the same range as that of the FIR selected complete sample, i.e. three orders of magnitude, with the same mean value, log(L_FIR)=10.2. This emphasizes that such galaxies represent FIR properties of the whole sample well. Moreover, their optical properties are typical of the sample itself since 62% of these belong to the 60mu selected complete sample.

2. A Complete Atheist

Publisher: name: Journal of Interdisciplinary History of Ideas
Year: 2021

description: Jean Meslier, a largely forgotten figure of the history of political thought, is a radical thinker of the Enlightenment, and one who best illustrates Israel’s thesis about the period. This article, which proposes to set Meslier’s work in his intellectual context, will show just how radical this Catholic priest really was. It details the intellectual journey in Meslier’s works leading to the affirmation of his own atheism and shows how this atheism then sets the stage for the development of a proto-utilitarian doctrine. This doctrine then has consequences for political thought more widely. Against the dominant reading in the literature, which portrays Meslier as an early communist thinker, this article shows that he is best understood as a radical republican thinker. This further helps nuance the Israel’s Enlightenment thesis, by showing how republicanism (as opposed to a theory of ‘democracy’) is a better fit for the works of some radical thinkers of the period.

Staged learning of agile motor skills

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Motor learning lies at the heart of how humans and animals acquire their skills. Understanding of this process enables many benefits in Robotics, physics-based Computer Animation, and other areas of science and engineering. In this thesis, we develop a computational framework for learning of agile, integrated motor skills. Our algorithm draws inspiration from the process by which humans and animals acquire their skills in nature. Specifically, all skills are learned through a process of staged, incremental learning, during which progressively more complex skills are acquired and subsequently integrated with prior abilities. Accordingly, our learning algorithm is comprised of three phases. In the first phase, a few seed motions that accomplish goals of a skill are acquired. In the second phase, additional motions are collected through active exploration. Finally, the third phase generalizes from observations made in the second phase to yield a dynamics model that is relevant to the goals of a skill. We apply our learning algorithm to a simple, planar character in a physical simulation and learn a variety of integrated skills such as hopping, flipping, rolling, stopping, getting up and continuous acrobatic maneuvers. Aspects of each skill, such as length, height and speed of the motion can be interactively controlled through a user interface. Furthermore, we show that the algorithm can be used without modification to learn all skills for a whole family of parameterized characters of similar structure. Finally, we demonstrate that our approach also scales to a more complex quadruped character.
Weakly hyperbolic equations with non-analytic coefficients and lower order terms

description: In this paper we consider weakly hyperbolic equations of higher orders in arbitrary dimensions with time-dependent coefficients and lower order terms. We prove the Gevrey well-posedness of the Cauchy problem under $C^k$-regularity of coefficients of the principal part and natural Levi conditions on lower order terms which may be only continuous. In the case of analytic coefficients in the principal part we establish the $C^\infty$ well-posedness. The proofs are based on using the quasi-symmetriser for the corresponding system. The main novelty compared to the existing literature is the possibility to include lower order terms to the equation as well as considering any space dimensions. We also give results on the ultradistributional and distributional well-posedness of the problem, and we look at new effects for equations with discontinuous lower order terms.

Temporal Stream Logic: Synthesis beyond the Bools

Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2023

description: Reactive systems that operate in environments with complex data, such as mobile apps or embedded controllers with many sensors, are difficult to synthesize. Synthesis tools usually fail for such systems because the state space resulting from the discretization of the data is too large. We introduce TSL, a new temporal logic that separates control and data. We provide a CEGAR-based synthesis approach for the construction of implementations that are guaranteed to satisfy a TSL specification for all possible instantiations of the data processing functions. TSL provides an attractive trade-off for synthesis. On the one hand, synthesis from TSL, unlike synthesis from standard temporal logics, is undecidable in general. On the other hand, however, synthesis from TSL is scalable, because it is independent of the complexity of the handled data. Among other benchmarks, we have successfully synthesized a music player Android app and a controller for an autonomous vehicle in the Open Race Car Simulator (TORCS.)

description: This study describes and analyzes the organization, production and administration of festivals and special events, and the relationship of these activities to Calgary's municipal corporation. A strategic approach is taken to explore the future. Historical roots of festivals and events are traced, leading to contemporary perceptions of the role of festivals and events. A typology is adapted to reflect the involvement of different types of organizations in the production of festivals and events. Festivals are perceived to serve several purposes for the municipal organization. These include recreation, improvement of urban environments, quality of life, cultural and community development. Festivals also contribute towards marketing and promotion of the city as an investment and tourism product. The scope of involvement of various organizations in the production of festivals and events in Calgary is described. A Situational Analysis derived from strategic planning theory is applied to the Calgary case. Key aspects of the Internal Analysis are derived through an examination of the organizational capacities of the Calgary municipal organization. The External Analysis examines social, quality of life and economic trends. Situational analysis is applied to festival and event production and implementation by Calgary's municipal organization. Recommendations to the municipal organization are presented in two scenarios. One scenario logic internalizes leadership for festivals and events within a mission-driven municipal organization which acts as a tourism entrepreneur. The second scenario presumes the creation of a special authority as a city independent festival impresario. Conclusions are drawn as to the suitability of the strategic analysis approach and possible topics for festivals research.
Scalability of communicators in MPI
Creators: name: Mir Taheri, Seyed M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis offers a novel framework for representing groups and communicators in Message Passing Interface (MPI) middleware. MPI is a widely used paradigm in a cluster environment that supports communication between the nodes. In our framework, we have implemented and evaluated scalable techniques for groups and communicators in MPI. We have tested this framework using FG-MPI, a fine-grain version of MPI that scales millions of MPI processes. Groups in MPI are the primary means for creating communicators. A group map is the underlying structure that stores participating processes in the communication. We introduce a framework for concise representations of the group map. This framework is based on the observation that a map can be decomposed into a set and a permutation. This decomposition allows us to use a compact set representation for the cases where specific mapping is not required i.e. lists with monotonically increasing order. In other cases, the representation adds a permutation as well. A variety of set compression techniques has been used. Furthermore, the framework is open to integration of new representations. One advantage of such decomposition is the ability to implicitly represent a set with set representations such as BDD. BDD and similar representations are well-suited for the types of operations used in construction of communicators. In addition to set representations for unordered maps, we incorporated Wavelet Trees on Runs. This library is designed to represent permutation. We have also included general compression techniques in the framework such as BWT. This allows some degree of compression in memory-constrained environments where there is no discernible pattern in the group structure. We have investigated time and space trade-offs among the representations to develop strategies available to the framework. The strategies tune the framework based on user's requirements. The first strategy optimizes the framework to be fast and is called the time strategy. The second strategy optimizes the framework in regard to space. The final hybrid strategy is a hybrid of both and tries to strike a reasonable trade-off between time and space. These strategies let the framework accommodate a wider range of applications and users.

description: Using a density functional based electronic structure method, we study the effect of crystalline dielectrics on the metallic surface states of Bismuth- and chalcogen-based binary and ternary three dimensional topological insulator (TI) thin films. Crystalline quartz (SiO2) and boron nitride (BN) dielectrics were considered. Crystalline approximation to the amorphous quartz allows to study the effect of oxygen coverage or environmental effects on the surface states degradation which has gained attention recently in the experimental community. We considered both symmetric and asymmetric dielectric cappings to the sufaces of TI thin films. Our studies suggest that BN and quartz cappings have negligible effects on the Dirac cone surface states of both binary and ternary TIs, except in the case of an oxygen-terminated quartz surface. Dangling bond states of oxygens in oxygen-terminated quartz dominate the region close to Fermi level, thereby distorting the TI Dirac cone feature and burying the Dirac point in the quartz valence band region. Passivating the oxygen-terminated surface with atomic hydrogen removes these dangling bond states from the Fermi surface region, and consequently the clear Dirac cone is recovered. Our results are consistent with recent experimental studies of TI surface degradation in the presence of oxygen coverage.

description: This text aims at looking at some advances and above all some problems coming from the study of « racial » discrimination (« whites » and « non whites ») in the labour market (hiring, promotion, wages) in the United States since the 1960’s by statistical models of mutiple regression. In a first part we describe the progressive generalization of this method in the 1960’s and 1970’s for this subjet, showing an evident lack of precision in the beginnings on methodological issues. In a second part we show that many important problems remain in spite of a tendency of methodological improvements. We suggest in conclusion a discussion about the usefulness, after half a century of practices, of trying to « explain » discrimination with this kind of tools.

description: The morphological study of the ceramic assemblages from the 1913 and 1917 excavations at Vrysi tou Barba being undertaken by J.M. Webb provided the ideal conditions for an analytical study of a large, contextualised and well documented ceramic sample from EC–MC Lapithos. In this chapter, we present the results of the project’s first analytical campaign in 2016/2017, i.e. a large-scale, elemental analysis of ceramics from the necropolis of Vrysi tou Barba, using portable X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The two intertwined objectives of this study were a) to test the extent to which the main wares recognised macroscopically correspond to compositional groups, and b) to compare the composition of pottery that on stylistic criteria is thought to have been locally produced at Lapithos and vessels thought to be imports from other regions of the island. More generally, we hoped to assess the potential of pXRF for such a study and refine analytical strategies for future work.

Interstellar ices as witnesses of star formation: selective deuteration of water and organic molecules unveiled

description: Observations of star forming environments revealed that the abundances of some deuterated interstellar molecules are markedly larger than the cosmic D/H ratio of 10-5. Possible reasons for this pointed to grain surface chemistry. How- ever, organic molecules and water, which are both ice constituents, do not enjoy the same deuteration. For example, deuterated formaldehyde is very abundant in comets and star forming regions, while deuterated water rarely is. In this article, we explain this selective deuteration by following the formation of ices (using the rate equation method) in translucent clouds, as well as their evolu- tion as the cloud collapses to form a star. Ices start with the deposition of gas phase CO and O onto dust grains. While reaction of oxygen with atoms (H or D) or molecules (H2) yields H2O (HDO), CO only reacts with atoms (H and D) to form H2CO (HDCO, D2CO). As a result, the deuteration of formaldehyde is sensitive to the gas D/H ratio as the cloud undergoes gravitational collapse, while the deuteration of water strongly depends on the dust temperature at the time of ice formation. These results reproduce well the deuterium fractionation of formaldehyde observed in comets and star forming regions and can explain the wide spread of deuterium fractionation of water observed in these environments.

We observe the possible growing mode in the perturbation when the scalar field strongly couples to the electromagnetic field. When the electromagnetic field becomes nonlinear described by the Born-Infeld electrodynamics, the nonlinearity described by the Born-Infeld parameter can hinder the growing mode to appear in the scalar perturbation. The quasinormal mode of the scalar field perturbation can help us further understand the physics in the holographic superconductor.

description: With ever increasing autonomy of cyber-physical systems, monitoring becomes an integral part for ensuring the safety of the system at runtime. StreamLAB is a monitoring framework with high degree of expressibility and strong correctness guarantees. Specifications are written in RTLola, a stream-based specification language with formal semantics. StreamLAB provides an extensive analysis of the specification, including the computation of memory consumption and run-time guarantees. We demonstrate the applicability of StreamLAB on typical monitoring tasks for cyber-physical systems, such as sensor validation and system health checks.

description: Let S be a subsemigroup of an abelian torsion-free group G. If S is a positive cone of G, then all C*-algebras generated by faithful isometrical non-unitary representations of S are canonically isomorphic. Proved by Murphy, this statement generalized the well-known theorems of Coburn and Douglas. In this note we prove the reverse. If all C*-algebras generated by faithful isometrical non-unitary representations of S are canonically isomorphic, then S is a positive cone of G. Also we consider G = Z\times Z and prove that if S induces total order on G, then there exist at least two unitarily not equivalent irreducible isometrical representation of S. And if the order is lexicographical-product order, then all such representations are unitarily equivalent.

Synthesizing functional reactive programs

Publisher: name: CISPA

description: Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is a paradigm that has simplified the construction of reactive programs. There are many libraries that implement incarnations of FRP, using abstractions such as Applicative, Monads, and Arrows. However, finding a good control flow, that correctly manages state and switches behaviors at the right times, still poses a major challenge to developers. An attractive alternative is specifying the behavior instead of programming it, as made possible by the recently developed logic: Temporal Stream Logic (TSL). However, it has not been explored so far how Control Flow Models (CFMs), resulting from TSL synthesis, are turned into executable code that is compatible with libraries building on FRP. We bridge this gap, by showing that CFMs are a suitable formalism to be turned into Applicative, Monadic, and Arrowized FRP. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our translations on a real-world kitchen timer application, which we translate to a desktop application using the Arrowized FRP library Yampa, a web application using the Monadic Threepenny-GUI library, and to hardware using the Applicative hardware description language ClaSH.

description: We have investigated the phenomenon of swelling due to acetone diffusion in fluorocarbon polymer films doped with different gold concentrations below the percolation threshold. The presence of the gold clusters in the polymer is shown to improve the mixing between the fluorocarbon polymer and the acetone, which is not a good solvent for this kind of polymers. In order to explain the experimental results the stoichiometry and the morphology of the polymer--metal system have been studied and a modified version of the Flory--Huggins model has been developed.
5. Research Report | The Radical Translations Project

Publisher: name: Journal of Interdisciplinary History of Ideas

description: The relation between translation studies and historical research is often one of missed encounters. This article suggests that beyond conceptual differences, this lack of encounter is also due to practical difficulties. My focus is the UK-based project Radical Translations: The Transfer of Revolutionary Culture between Britain, France and Italy (1789-1815). We are a small team working on a corpus of approximately 500 revolutionary-era translations and a prosopography of some 250 translators to create a significant database. Our aim is to track the mobility of revolutionary language—not only what it says but how it travelled, where it went and what it became. How did translation enable democratic movements to extend radical ideas of liberty and equality into new contexts? And how was a transnational revolutionary idiom adopted, adapted, resisted or rejected in the effort to create locally and culturally specific tools for political action on the ground?

Sound Analysis and Synthesis Adaptive in Time and Two Frequency Bands

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Sound (cs.SD)

description: We present an algorithm for sound analysis and resynthesis with local automatic adaptation of time-frequency resolution. There exists several algorithms allowing to adapt the analysis window depending on its time or frequency location; in what follows we propose a method which select the optimal resolution depending on both time and frequency. We consider an approach that we denote as analysis-weighting, from the point of view of Gabor frame theory. We analyze in particular the case of different adaptive time-varying resolutions within two complementary frequency bands; this is a typical case where perfect signal reconstruction cannot in general be achieved with fast algorithms, causing a certain error to be minimized. We provide examples of adaptive analyses of a music sound, and outline several possibilities that this work opens.
4. De l’intérêt égoïste à l’empathie
Creators: name: Blanc, Emmanuel
Publisher: name: Journal of Interdisciplinary History of Ideas
Year: 2021

description: The article attempts to show that the concept of sympathy, taken from Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments, allows us to distinguish between the purely egoistic interest (‘selfishness’) of the homo œconomicus theories (which we describe as ‘autistic’) and an interest in oneself (‘self-love’), which stems from a sympathy towards ourselves (‘reflexive sympathy’) built from the sympathy we feel towards the other (‘direct sympathy’) and from the other towards us (‘reciprocal sympathy’). Interest, in the sense of self-love, by being part of the loops of sympathy, allows us to get out of the theoretical deadlocks that we can find in some authors of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, including those already criticised by Smith: Mandeville, Hume, Hutcheson, and Hobbes, the one on whom we are focusing. We then broaden our analysis by relying on the recent discoveries of mirror neurons which enable us to explain empathy (a concept very close to Smithian ‘sympathy’) in humans as well as in the great apes. As empathy now has an indisputable neurological basis, it allows us to confirm our critique of the standard economic theories of homo œconomicus and to contemplate a re-foundation of political economy.

Signatures of quantum criticality in hole-doped and chemically pressurized EuFe_2As_2 single crystals

description: We study the effect of hole-doping and chemical pressure (isovalent doping) in single crystals of K$_x$Eu$_{1-x}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ and EuFe$_2$(As$_{1-y}$P$_y$)$_2$, respectively, by measurements of the thermopower, $S(T)$, and electrical resistivity, $ρ(T)$. The evolution of $S(T)$ upon doping indicates drastic changes of the electronic configuration at critical values $x_{\mathrm{cr}}=0.3$ and $y_{\mathrm{cr}}=0.21$, respectively, as the spin-density-wave transition is completely suppressed and superconductivity (SC) emerges. For the case of chemical pressure, the comparison with published ARPES measurements indicates a Lifshitz transition at $y_{cr}$. The temperature dependences $S(T)/T\propto \log T$ and $Δρ\propto T$ observed in the normal state above the SC transition suggest quantum criticality in both systems.
