description: Visual understanding of 3D environments in real-time, at low power, is a huge computational challenge. Often referred to as SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping), it is central to applications spanning domestic and industrial robotics, autonomous vehicles, virtual and augmented reality. This paper describes the results of a major research effort to assemble the algorithms, architectures, tools, and systems software needed to enable delivery of SLAM, by supporting applications specialists in selecting and configuring the appropriate algorithm and the appropriate hardware, and compilation pathway, to meet their performance, accuracy, and energy consumption goals. The major contributions we present are (1) tools and methodology for systematic quantitative evaluation of SLAM algorithms, (2) automated, machine-learning-guided exploration of the algorithmic and implementation design space with respect to multiple objectives, (3) end-to-end simulation tools to enable optimisation of heterogeneous, accelerated architectures for the specific algorithmic requirements of the various SLAM algorithmic approaches, and (4) tools for delivering, where appropriate, accelerated, adaptive SLAM solutions in a managed, JIT-compiled, adaptive runtime context.

description: We analyze the CP violating ratio \epe=epsilon'/epsilon in the Standard Model in view of the new KTeV results. We review the present status of the most important non-perturbative parameters B_6, B_8, B_K and of the strange quark mass m_s. We also briefly discuss the issues of final state interactions and renormalization scheme dependence. Updating the values of the CKM parameters, of m_t and Lambda (MSbar) and using Gaussian errors for the experimental input and flat distributions for the theoretical parameters we find \epe substantially below the NA31 and KTeV data: \epe= (7.7^{+6.0}_{-3.5}) 10^{-4} and \epe= (5.2^{+4.6}_{-2.7}) 10^{-4} in the NDR and HV renormalization schemes respectively. A simple scanning of all input parameters gives on the other hand 1.05 10^{-4} < \epe < 28.8 10^{-4} and 0.26 10^{-4} < \epe < 22.0 10^{-4} respectively. Analyzing the dependence on various parameters we find that only for extreme values of B_6, B_8 and m_s and suitable values of CKM parameters and Lambda(MSbar), the ratio \epe can be made consistent with data. We analyze the impact of these data on the lower bounds for Im(V_{td}V_{ts}^*), Br(K_L to pi^0 nu barnu), Br(K_L to pi^0e^+e^-)_{dir} and on tan(beta) in the Two Higgs Doublet Model II.

Subjects: Data services, data management, research data

description: The Inequalities, Interventions, and New Welfare State (INVEST) research flagship aims at increasing well-being of Finnish society during childhood, youth and early adulthood by preventing psycho-social risks compromising such development through innovative interventions. INVEST is a joint project of the University of Turku and the National Institute for Health and Welfare. The research groups under the Flagship are supported by a Data Group with the following strategic goals: (1) Promotion of the widespread availability and usability of data among the INVEST researchers,
 (2) Establishment of the discipline-specific research infrastructures and data management practices for the INVEST flagship,
 (3) Promotion of data expertise and strengthening the competence cluster among INVEST research groups and more widely among researchers,
 (4) Ensuring wide availability of registry data and raising awareness of its importance for the competitiveness of Finnish population, welfare and and health, and social science research
 (5) Supporting the implementation of the FAIR principles (i.e., findability, accessibility, interoperability, and re-usability) and
 (6) Promotion of practices that enhance the role of data and methods as research merits and outputs. The poster presents the goals, principles and operating models of this newly established Data Group. It describes the general information architecture and service offering that is currently being developed for the INVEST flagship researchers. For some data sets, the Data Group covers the entire data management life-cycle, while for others, the offering is limited to guidance, licensing processes, and other practical support. The Data Group is responsible, among other things, for managing primary data, extracting data from databases, describing and modulating data for research purposes, and producing codebooks and cataloging the data sets to improve discoverability and usability of research data. Efforts will be made to promote teamwork practices for collaborative data processing and analysis, such as version control and sharing of guidelines, documentation, and scripts among researchers and, later, to the general public as specific research outputs.

In this report Nicoson argues the objectives, process, and responsibility of development planners to create a community that satisfies every possible citizen and investor. Sections include "Community Advocates and Detractors" advocating the benefits of designing an area to community scale rather than piecemeal increments; "Environmental Objectives" balancing the land use for public and private objectives; and "Reassessment of Government Support" in which Nicoson discusses the federal government's role in supporting the new communities programs. Nicoson concludes that eventually all levels of government will realize that communities are beneficial and essential for children, growing counties, states, and healthy nations.

description: The transport-of-intensity equation (TIE) is a well-established non-interferometric phase retrieval approach, which enables quantitative phase imaging (QPI) of transparent sample simply by measuring the intensities at multiple axially displaced planes. Nevertheless, it still suffers from two fundamentally limitations. First, it is quite susceptible to low-frequency errors (such as \cloudy" artifacts), which results from the poor contrast of the phase transfer function (PTF) near the zero frequency. Second, the reconstructed phase tends to blur under spatially low-coherent illumination, especially when the defocus distance is beyond the near Fresnel region. Recent studies have shown that the shape of the illumination aperture has a significant impact on the resolution and phase reconstruction quality, and by simply replacing the conventional circular illumination aperture with an annular one, these two limitations can be addressed, or at least significantly alleviated. However, the annular aperture was previously empirically designed based on intuitive criteria related to the shape of PTF, which does not guarantee optimality. In this work, we optimize the illumination pattern to maximize TIE's performance based on a combined quantitative criterion for evaluating the \goodness" of an aperture. In order to make the size of the solution search space tractable, we restrict our attention to binary coded axis-symmetric illumination patterns only, which are easier to implement and can generate isotropic TIE PTFs. We test the obtained optimal illumination by imaging both a phase resolution target and HeLa cells based on a small-pitch LED array, suggesting superior performance over other suboptimal patterns in terms of both signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spatial resolution.

Relic neutrino degeneracy enhances the contribution of massive neutrinos to the present energy density of the Universe, and modifies the power spectrum of radiation and matter. Comparing with current observations of cosmic microwave background anisotropies and large scale structure, we derive some constraints on the neutrino degeneracy and on the spectral index in the case of a flat Universe with a cosmological constant.

description: Death is often described as something that simultaneously silences and is silenced within in our everyday lives. Biomedicine, in particular, has influenced these silences, shifting Western understandings of the body and affecting current American conceptions and experiences of death. Many individuals are discontent with the over-medicalized experience of death and dying. In the United States, this contributes to the rise of thanatological social movements. This thesis centers on the digital performance of personal experience narratives within the Death with Dignity movement— a social movement that seeks to change the current experience of death in the United States through providing another option for dying individuals and to stimulate nationwide improvements in end-of-life care. In the process of researching and writing this thesis, I conducted a literature search, coded and transcribed digital personal experience narratives, and incorporated discussions of repiner and patient storytellers within the Death with Dignity movement. I present and analyze these digital stories in an attempt to highlight why thanatological social movements not only provide insight into contemporary American conceptions regarding life and death, but also how vernacular death communication emerges.

description: We report a study of one-dimensional subband splitting in a bilayer graphene quantum point contact in which quantized conductance in steps of $4\,e^2/h$ is clearly defined down to the lowest subband. While our source-drain bias spectroscopy measurements reveal an unconventional confinement, we observe a full lifting of the valley degeneracy at high magnetic fields perpendicular to the bilayer graphene plane for the first two lowest subbands where confinement and Coulomb interactions are the strongest and a peculiar merging/mixing of $K$ and $K'$ valleys from two non-adjacent subbands with indices $(N,N+2)$ which are well described by our semi-phenomenological model.

description: We analyze the prospects of reconstructing the mass of a heavy charged Higgs boson %have been analyzed in the context of a Type X two-Higgs doublet model where a light pseudoscalar $A$ in the mass range $40-60$ GeV is phenomenologically allowed, and is in fact favoured if one wants to explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment. The associated production of charged Higgs with the pseudoscalar $A$ and subsequent decay of the charged Higgs into a $W$ and $A$, is found to be our relevant channel. The branching ratio for $H^+ \to W^+ A$ with $M_{H^+} \sim 200$ GeV, is close to 50\%. The hadronic decay of the $W$ boson, coupled with the leptonic decays of $A$ into a tau and muon pair, help in identifying the charged Higgs. The neutral heavy Higgs, being degenerate with the charged Higgs for most of the allowed parameter space of the model, also contributes to similar final states. Thus both of these particles are reconstructed within a band of about 10 GeV.

Its phase diagram is determined in the hexagon approximation of the cluster variation method and the crossover from the pure Ising to the pure folding model is investigated, obtaining a quite rich structure with several multicritical points. Our results are in very good agreement with the available exact ones and extend a previous transfer matrix study.

description: Twelve participatory paper maps by separate groups of men and women were facilitated by the High Atlas Foundation in six communities in Morocco between 2010-2020 as part of their process of participatory development. In this thesis research, these sketch maps are analyzed for the first time. History and methods of participatory mapping are discussed in the context of gender dynamics and sustainable development in the postcolonial setting of Morocco. Spatial webs, gazetteers, and gender trends in sketch map content creation, positional accuracy, and OpenStreetMap contributions are also discussed. The twelve participatory paper maps underwent a gender-focused content frequency analysis. Seven communities were located using OpenStreetMap and Google Maps by a High Atlas Foundation expert. It was found that men contributed more overall geographic elements and written Arabic commentary than women, which could indicate a higher level of familiarity with their community and comfortability communicating their opinions in writing. It was also found that there are many barriers to adding data from the sketch maps to OpenStreetMap due to language, loss of institutional memory, and inconsistencies between the sketch maps and satellite imagery.

description: In light of recent experimental results, we present updated bounds on the lightest Higgs boson mass in the Standard Model (SM) and in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). The vacuum stability lower bound on the pure SM Higgs boson mass when the SM is taken to be valid up to the Planck scale lies above the MSSM lightest Higgs boson mass upper bound for a large amount of SUSY parameter space. If the lightest Higgs boson is detected with a mass M_{H} < 134 GeV (150 GeV) for a top quark mass M_{top} = 172 GeV (179 GeV), it may indicate the existence of a fourth generation of fermions. The region of inconsistency is removed and the MSSM is salvagable for such values of M_{H} if one postulates the existence of a fourth generation of leptons and quarks with isodoublet degenerate masses M_{L} and M_{Q} such that 60 GeV < M_{L} < 110 GeV and M_{Q} > 170 GeV.

We discuss the implications of such logarithmic terms in the context of magnetohydrodynamics, and derive a relationship between conformal dimensions of the velocity stream function, the magnetic flux function and the Reynolds number.
description: 7 pages,Latex, no figures. A section on candidate CFT's is added, although logarithmic correlators do not appear in the minimal models but models which have nearly equal conformal dimensions can mimic logarithmic behaviour, provided the Reynold number is large enough, a relationship between the reynolds number and conformal dimensions is derived

description: Physical retailers, who once led the way in tracking with loyalty cards and `reverse appends', now lag behind online competitors. Yet we might be seeing these tables turn, as many increasingly deploy technologies ranging from simple sensors to advanced emotion detection systems, even enabling them to tailor prices and shopping experiences on a per-customer basis. Here, we examine these in-store tracking technologies in the retail context, and evaluate them from both technical and regulatory standpoints. We first introduce the relevant technologies in context, before considering privacy impacts, the current remedies individuals might seek through technology and the law, and those remedies' limitations. To illustrate challenging tensions in this space we consider the feasibility of technical and legal approaches to both a) the recent `Go' store concept from Amazon which requires fine-grained, multi-modal tracking to function as a shop, and b) current challenges in opting in or out of increasingly pervasive passive Wi-Fi tracking. The `Go' store presents significant challenges with its legality in Europe significantly unclear and unilateral, technical measures to avoid biometric tracking likely ineffective. In the case of MAC addresses, we see a difficult-to-reconcile clash between privacy-as-confidentiality and privacy-as-control, and suggest a technical framework which might help balance the two. Significant challenges exist when seeking to balance personalisation with privacy, and researchers must work together, including across the boundaries of preferred privacy definitions, to come up with solutions that draw on both technology and the legal frameworks to provide effective and proportionate protection. Retailers, simultaneously, must ensure that their tracking is not just legal, but worthy of the trust of concerned data subjects.

title: The Use of Free Indirect Discourse in Burney, Austen, and Eliot
Creators: name: Harlan, Elizabeth H.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 2002

description: Free indirect discourse, a narrative technique used in third-person novels, occurs when the private thoughts of a character are voiced in a narrative passage and no indicator such as "she thought" is present. This technique, also known as represented thought or style indirect libre, is a blurring of the line between the character and the narrator. Although popularized in the works of Jane Austen, free indirect discourse can be traced back even further to Fanny Burney and it first appears as third person narratives are beginning to replace epistolary and journal-like novels. Some have attributed the development to a growing confidence in authorial voice, particularly among female writers, which displaces the need to hide behind a character.

In Fanny Burney's novels Camilla and Cecilia, both examples of domestic fiction, Burney does not use free indirect discourse as much to comment on her characters as she does to further what the reader already knows about them and advance the plot. As one of the first to move from epistolary writing to using free indirect discourse, Burney concentrates the technique on a few main characters. In Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jane Austen uses the technique to increase the irony in her highly satirical novels. She comments on her characters with it, showing their mistaken notions and moral flaws, while still maintaining a supportive and approving omniscient narrator. Eliot expands the range of free indirect discourse in Middlemarch and The Mill on the Floss, a demonstration of the complete omniscient control of George Eliot. All characters, even those most highly thought of by Eliot, are second-guessed. This showcases a desire to direct every thought of the reader and makes her characters complex and sympathetic. These women, writing in different times, show the development of the use of free indirect discourse into a technique that enables authors to let the juxtaposition of their characters' thoughts and comments from the narrator tell the story.

Heavy-flavour hadron decay leptons in Pb--Pb and Xe--Xe collisions at the LHC with ALICE

description: Heavy quarks, i.e. charm and beauty, are sensitive probes of the medium produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. They are produced in the early stage of the collision, mainly in hard partonic scattering processes, and are expected to experience the whole collision evolution interacting with the medium constituents via both elastic and inelastic processes. The nuclear modification factor ($R_{\rm AA}$) is one of the main experimental observables that allow us to investigate the interaction strength of heavy quarks with the medium. The ALICE collaboration measured the production of open heavy-flavour hadrons via their semi-leptonic decays to electrons at mid-rapidity and to muons at forward rapidity in elementary proton-proton (pp) collisions as well as p--Pb, Pb--Pb and in Xe--Xe collisions. Recent results will be discussed, and model calculations including the interaction of heavy quarks with the hot and dense QCD medium will be compared with the data.

description: We use finite--size scaling of Lee--Yang partition function zeroes to study the critical behaviour of the two dimensional step or sgn $O(2)$ model. We present evidence that, like the closely related $XY$--model, this has a phase transition from a disordered high temperature phase to a low temperature massless phase where the model remains critical. The critical parameters (including logarithmic corrections) are compatible with those of the $XY$--model indicating that both models belong to the same universality class.

description: The present study examined the effect of Reward, Cost, Comparison Level, Comparison Level of Alternative, and Investment on Satisfaction and Commitment in therapy from the perspective of social exchange theory and the investment model. Relationship variables were assessed by 114 subjects for the beginning of therapy, the first few sessions: middle of therapy, when therapy was clearly underway and issues were being dealt with; and the end or last few sessions. Results confirmed that Satisfaction and Commitment were significantly predicted by greater Reward, lower Cost, and Comparison Level. Investment was consistently positively related to Commitment and not to Satisfaction. However, Comparison Level of Alternative was correlated with Satisfaction rather than Commitment. As hypothesized, Satisfaction and Commitment at the beginning of therapy were more highly correlated with Reward minus Cost than with Reward plus Cost, but for overall Satisfaction and Commitment, the strength of total Reward plus Cost as a predictor increased. Magnitude of Reward alone was a better predictor of Overall Evaluation than any other combination of variables. Finally, Satisfaction at the beginning of therapy was a significant predictor of Overall Evaluation indicating the influence of early evaluations in the therapy relationship.
Free-sustaining Three-dimensional S235 Steel-based Porous Electrocatalyst for Highly Efficient and Durable Oxygen Evolution

description: A novel oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst (3D S235-P steel) based on steel S235 substrate has been successfully prepared via a facile one-step surface modification. The standard Carbon Manganese steel was phosphorizated superficially leading to the formation of a unique 3D interconnected nanoporous surface with high specific area which facilitates the electrocatalytically initiated oxygen evolution reaction. The prepared 3D S235-P steel exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic OER activities in alkaline regime confirmed by a low overpotential (η=326 mV at j=10 mA cm-2) and a small Tafel slope of 68.7 mV dec-1. Moreover, the catalyst was found to be stable under long-term usage conditions functioning as oxygen evolving electrode at pH 13 as evidenced by the sufficient charge to oxygen conversion rate (Faradaic efficiency: 82.11% and 88.34% at 10 mA cm-2 and 5 mA cm-2, respectively). In addition, it turned out that the chosen surface modification renders steel S235 into an OER electrocatalyst sufficiently and stable to work in neutral pH condition. Our investigation revealed that the high catalytic activities are likely to stem from the generated Fe/(Mn) hydroxide/oxo-hydroxides generated during the OER process. The phosphorization treatment is therefore not only an efficient way to optimize the electrocatalytic performance of standard Carbon-Manganese steel, but also enables for the development of low cost and abundant steels in the field of energy conversion.

Baryogenesis in Models with a Low Quantum Gravity Scale

description: We make generic remarks about baryogenesis in models where the scale $M_s$ of quantum gravity is much below the Planck scale. These correspond to M-theory vacua with a large volume for the internal space. Baryogenesis is a challenge, particularly for $M_s \lappeq 10^5$ GeV, because there is an upper bound on the reheat temperature of the Universe, and because certain baryon number violating operators must be suppressed. We discuss these constraints for different values of $M_s$, and illustrate with a toy model the possibility of using horizontal family symmetries to circumvent them.

title: Forearc Deformation Within the Indo-Burman Fold-Thrust Belt: Constraining the Transition from Plane Strain Shortening to Noncoaxial Dextral Transpression Near the Churachandpur-Mao Fault

subject: Subduction Zones

description: Subduction margins account for more than 90% of the total seismic energy released by shallow earthquakes worldwide (Pacheco & Sykes, 1992). Megathrust earthquakes release stored elastic strain energy that has accumulated on the interface between the converging plates. The magnitude and distribution of seismicity depends on the convergence vector and partitioning of strain among forearc fault systems. This study capitalizes on the subaerial exposure of the Indo-Burman Ranges, an accretionary wedge resulting from the oblique (70°) collision of India and Eurasia, to characterize forearc structures that form during highly oblique subduction. This study utilizes field data to carry out structural analyses and kinematic modeling of faults and folds to constrain the transition from west-directed shortening in the Outer Belt of the Indo-Burman Ranges to dextral transpression within the Inner Belt. Results indicate that structures in the Outer Belt record WNW-ESE directed plane strain and accommodate margin-normal shortening as fault-propagation folds. These Outer Belt structures have accommodated 26.6 km of shortening and form above a folded décollement which deepens westward from 3.0 to 5.6 km depth due to flexural subsidence in the Outer Belt. Within the Inner Belt, transpressional fault splays strike northwest from the Churachandpur-Mao Fault and modify structures from the fold-thrust belt in a 20 km wide zone of transpressional shear. East of the Churachandpur-Mao Fault, transpressional deformation intensifies, manifested by a pervasive sub-vertical cleavage fabric with prominent tight to isoclinal folding. Field evidence for transpressional deformation in the core of the Indo-Burman Ranges accretionary wedge spans eastward to the Kabaw Fault, the backstop of the accretionary prism. Structural and geodetic modeling indicates that the Kabaw Fault is a crustal-scale dextral-oblique thrust fault. Together, the Churachandpur-Mao Fault and Kabaw Fault form a contractional left stepover between the two right-lateral faults. Fault systems in the Indo-Burman Ranges forearc are partitioned such that the Outer Belt absorbs margin-normal convergence, and the Inner Belt primarily accommodates marginparallel convergence in a zone of distributed, dextral and transpressional shear. Results from this thesis quantify the fault kinematics and map distribution of active structures in the Indo-Burman Ranges to better inform regional seismic hazard assessments.

description: We study semi--algebraic domains associated with symplectic tori and conjecturally identified with spaces of stability conditions on the Fukaya categories of these tori. Our motivation is to test which results from the theory of flat surfaces could hold for more general spaces of stability conditions. The main results concern systolic bounds and volume of the moduli space.

description: The Sauter-Schwinger process of electron-positron pair creation from vacuum, driven by a sequence of time-dependent electric-field pulses, is studied in the framework of quantum-field theoretical approach. As demonstrated by our numerical results, the probability distributions of produced pairs exhibit intra- and inter-pulse interference structures. We show that such structures can be observed beyond the regime of applicability of the WKB theory, which was the focus of earlier investigations. Going beyond these developments, we perform the analysis of the time-evolution operator for an arbitrary eigenmode of the fermionic field. This shows that a perfect coherent enhancement of the inter-pulse peaks can never be reached. A nearly perfect coherence, on the other hand, is due to nonadiabatic transitions at avoided crossings of the phases defining the unitary time evolution. This analysis allows us to determine the conditions under which the nearly perfect coherence is lost.

description: We argue that the analog nature of quantum computing makes the usual design approach of constructing complicated logical operations from many simple gates inappropriate. Instead, we propose to design multi-spin quantum gates in which the input and output two-state systems (spins) are not necessarily identical. We outline the design criteria for such devices and then review recent results for single-unit Hamiltonians that accomplish the NOT and XOR functions.
