Television: The Public's View, 1996
Television: The Public's View, 1992-
Creators: name: Independent Television Commission
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 1997

description: The Television : the Public's View annual survey series was started in 1992, to help the Independent Television Commission (ITC - then regulator of commercial television in the UK) to collect data on the public's attitudes to television, in order to fulfil its obligations to conduct research as enshrined in the 1990 Broadcasting Act. During 2003, the ITC, Broadcasting Standards Commission (BSC) and the Radio Authority (RA) merged to form Ofcom, who are now responsible for the surveys. To reflect the inclusion of the RA within Ofcom and the advent of new broadcasting technologies, the most recent years of the survey now also include information on radio programmes, and the internet.

The surveys comprise the results of interviews with members of the general public in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, conducted face-to-face in their homes, using CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing) technology. The main objectives of the survey include monitoring trends in the following over time:

ownership of new technology (particularly digital and multi-channel television);

most valued television channels, and attitudes towards the programmes broadcast;

levels of offence caused by programmes or advertising on the television or radio;

awareness of the watershed and the organisations responsible for monitoring broadcast quality;

use of and attitudes towards the internet.

Further information about research conducted may be found on the Ofcom web site.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Die hier vorgelegte Arbeit hat zum Ziel, den Zusammenhang zwischen traumatischen Kindheitserlebnissen und sexuellen Funktionsstörungen anhand der Rolle des sexuellen Erregungsmodus und des autonomen Nervensystems zu untersuchen. Traumatische Kindheitserlebnisse sind häufig und können langfristige und verheerende Folgen nach sich ziehen. Ebenso sind sexuelle Funktionsstörungen weit verbreitet. Erklärungsmodelle für die Zusammenhänge gibt es zahlreiche. Chronisch veränderte Reaktionsmuster des autonomen Nervensystems hin zu einer Überaktivierung des Kampf-/Fluchtmodus sind eine häufige Folge von traumatischen Erlebnissen. Das autonome Nervensystem ist bei Frauen wie auch Männern zuständig für den Grossteil der Versorgung der inneren und äusseren Geschlechtsorgane und essentiell für die sexuelle Reaktionsfähigkeit. Der Mensch kann durch ein Spiel mit Rhythmen, muskulärer Spannung und Bewegung sexuelle Erregung modulieren und kontrollieren und sie bis zum orgasmischen Höhepunkt aufbauen. Eine Mehrheit der Menschen erregt sich auf eine Art, die entweder mit viel Druck und/oder hoher körperlicher Anspannung verbunden ist und als Spannungsmodus bezeichnet wird. Die hier vorgestellte Studie „Sexualfunktion und sexueller Erregungsmodus in Zusammenhang mit traumatischer Stressgeschichte und dem autonomen Nervensystem an einer Stichprobe von Sexocorporel-Studierenden“ untersucht die Zusammenhänge zwischen Herzratenvariabilitätsmessungen (HRV) und den Antworten auf validierte Fragebögen an einer Stichprobe von 88 ehemaligen oder aktuellen Sexocorporel-Studierenden. Die Resultate zeigen signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen einem überaktivierten Nervensystem hin zum Kampf-/Fluchtmodus und der Wahl eines sexuellen Erregungsmodus mit viel Spannung. Des Weiteren zeigt sich ein signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen einem sexuellen Erregungsmodus mit viel Spannung und erektilen Einschränkungen. Die Resultate zwischen Herzratenvariabilität und sexuellem Erregungsmodus zeigen gegensätzliche Resultate zur Theorie und zur Hypothese, insofern, dass eine höhere HRV, indikativ für höhere parasympathische Aktivierung, mit einem Spannungsmodus einhergeht. Keine signifikanten Resutate können zwischen sexuellem Erregungsmodus und dem PEP (premature ejaculation profile) und dem FSFI (female sexual functioning index) gefunden werden. Zukünftige Studien sollen die Zusammenhänge zwischen traumatischen Kindheitserfahrungen und Sexualfunktion genauer untersuchen und weitere Forschung, insbesondere zum sexuellen Erregungsmodus nach Sexocorporel, betreiben.

description: We develop a cylindrical shape decomposition (CSD) algorithm to decompose an object, a union of several tubular structures, into its semantic components. We decompose the object using its curve skeleton and restricted translational sweeps. For that, CSD partitions the curve skeleton into maximal-length sub-skeletons over an orientation cost, each sub-skeleton corresponds to a semantic component. To find the intersection of the tubular components, CSD translationally sweeps the object in decomposition intervals to identify critical points at which the shape of the object changes substantially. CSD cuts the object at critical points and assigns the same label to parts along the same sub-skeleton, thereby constructing a semantic component. The proposed method further reconstructs the acquired semantic components at the intersection of object parts using generalized cylinders. We apply CSD for segmenting axons in large 3D electron microscopy images and decomposing vascular networks and synthetic objects. We show that our proposal is robust to severe surface noise and outperforms state-of-the-art decomposition techniques in its applications.

description: This paper investigates the Twitter interaction patterns of journals from the Science Citation Index (SCI) of Master Journal List (MJL). A total of 953,253 tweets extracted from 857 journal accounts, were analyzed in this study. Findings indicate that SCI journals interacted more with each other but much less with journals from other citation indices. The network structure of the communication graph resembled a tight crowd network, with Nature journals playing a major part. Information sources such as news portals and scientific organizations were mentioned more in tweets, than academic journal Twitter accounts. Journals with high journal impact factors (JIFs) were found to be prominent hubs in the communication graph. Differences were found between the Twitter usage of SCI journals with Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) journals.

description: The paper provides statistical theory and intuition for personalized PageRank (called "PPR"): a popular technique that samples a small community from a massive network. We study a setting where the entire network is expensive to obtain thoroughly or to maintain, but we can start from a seed node of interest and "crawl" the network to find other nodes through their connections. By crawling the graph in a designed way, the PPR vector can be approximated without querying the entire massive graph, making it an alternative to snowball sampling. Using the degree-corrected stochastic block model, we study whether the PPR vector can select nodes that belong to the same block as the seed node. We provide a simple and interpretable form for the PPR vector, highlighting its biases towards high degree nodes outside the target block. We examine a simple adjustment based on node degrees and establish consistency results for PPR clustering that allows for directed graphs. These results are enabled by recent technical advances showing the elementwise convergence of eigenvectors. We illustrate the method with the massive Twitter friendship graph, which we crawl by using the Twitter application programming interface. We find that the adjusted and unadjusted PPR techniques are complementary approaches, where the adjustment makes the results particularly localized around the seed node, and that the bias adjustment greatly benefits from degree regularization.

Exploiting Statistical and Structural Features for the Detection of Domain Generation Algorithms

description: Nowadays, malware campaigns have reached a high level of sophistication, thanks to the use of cryptography and covert communication channels over traditional protocols and services. In this regard, a typical approach to evade botnet identification and takedown mechanisms is the use of domain fluxing through the use of Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs). These algorithms produce an overwhelming amount of domain names that the infected device tries to communicate with to find the Command and Control server, yet only a small fragment of them is actually registered. Due to the high number of domain names, the blacklisting approach is rendered useless. Therefore, the botmaster may pivot the control dynamically and hinder botnet detection mechanisms. To counter this problem, many security mechanisms result in solutions that try to identify domains from a DGA based on the randomness of their name. In this work, we explore hard to detect families of DGAs, as they are constructed to bypass these mechanisms. More precisely, they are based on the use of dictionaries so the domains seem to be user-generated. Therefore, the corresponding generated domains pass many filters that look for, e.g. high entropy strings. To address this challenge, we propose an accurate and efficient probabilistic approach to detect them. We test and validate the proposed solution through extensive experiments with a sound dataset containing all the wordlist-based DGA families that exhibit this behaviour and compare it with other state-of-the-art methods, practically showing the efficacy and prevalence of our proposal.

description: This study examines the relationship between motor carrier productivity, marketing strategy, and use of information technology for a sample of U.S. general freight commodity carriers. We use a unique data set containing information on firm marketing strategy and information technology use collected in a survey of Class I and II motor carrier firms (U.S. Department of Transportation, 1999). The measure of productivity used here is the non-parametric Malmquist Index as explained in Grosskopf (1993) and previously applied to general freight motor carriers by McMullen and Okuyama (2000). The Malmquist Index is decomposed into two components: economic efficiency change (EC) and technical efficiency change (TC). A tobit model regression model is used to examine the relationship between firm productivity, marketing strategy, and use of information technology. Information technologies included in the tobit analysis are electronic data interchange (EDI) and satellite communications (SATCOM). We also include firm size, use of owner-operators, and percent unionization as explanatory variables in the tobit regression. Results indicate that use of EDI has a positive and significant impact on economic efficiency (EC). Firms that try to market their product by providing service at the “lowest freight rate” are found to exhibit greater technical efficiency (TC), suggesting that productivity and cost measures that ignore marketing strategy may be biased. Finally, economic efficiency (EC) is found to be significantly greater for firms that are more heavily unionized.

description: The problem of cleaning liquid fuels, oils and gaseous liquids, which is associated with ensuring the reliability and durability of products, is very relevant in space and rocket technology, aviation, automotive, shipbuilding and tractors, machinery, transportation, agricultural machinery and mining machinery. Cryogen cleaning of liquids from solid particles, along with increasing the reliability of the equipment, also ensures its explosion safety. Cleaning liquids have different physical and chemical properties, the effectiveness of a particular cleaning method depends on them. Liquids containing solid particles are dispersible systems, the process of their separation forms suspensions, which depends not only on the specific properties of the liquid, but also on the properties of the solid phase.

It is shown that a stable AdS$_4$ brane can be constructed and gravity localization can be realized. An explicit relation between the dS bulk cosmological constant and the brane cosmological constant is obtained. The discrete mass spectrum of the massive scalar field in the AdS$_4$ brane is used to acquire the relationship between the brane cosmological constant and the vacuum energy density. The vacuum energy density in the brane gotten by this method is in agreement with astronomical observations.

description: Guidelines for the use of traffic control devices at stop-controlled intersections in the United States are provided in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Based on that, different dimensions of stop signs could be employed, even within the same jurisdiction. The study summarized in this paper investigated the effects of driver age and dimensions of stop signs on braking distance performance at stop-controlled intersections, while paying particular attention to older drivers. Data were collected at several stop-controlled intersections in non-residential areas in Hillsborough County, Florida, where three different sizes of stop signs (30", 36", and 48") were in use. Three driver age groups were also considered: older drivers, middle-age drivers, and young drivers. Statistical testing was used to find out whether the braking distances were different among driver age groups and also among different sizes of stop signs. Based on the observational data, it was found that older drivers had significantly longer braking distances for the largest size of the stop sign. Braking distances were also significantly different among the driver groups for the two larger sizes of the stop signs, but not for the smallest. In other words, older drivers see the larger sign and apply the brakes sooner resulting in longer braking distances. As such, the study recommends considering the replacement of smaller sizes of stop signs with the largest size in non-residential areas with a high older-driver population to increase safety at stop-controlled intersections.

description: In this paper, a probabilistic linkage method is explored in the context of linking databases in the Commercial Motor Vehicle and Carrier (CMVC) sector as a potential solution to overcome data quality problems. An application of this method is demonstrated by linking commercial motor vehicle inspection files kept by the Illinois State Police (ISP) and the inspection files available from the Illinois portion of the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). Since one of the files to be matched is a subset of the other, the application allows us to validate the methodology. The results show 6,228 correct identifications of true matched record pairs out of 6,335 actual true matches (more than 99%) between the two files. The number of erroneously identified record pairs is 690 (about 11% of the actual true matched pairs.) Sensitivity analysis is conducted of error rates with respect to variations in the optimal thresholds for merging the databases. A simple analysis also shows how much of a clerical examination for unclear record pairs would have to be tolerated for a reduction in dollar expenditure.
Design and fabrication of test bed for evaluating the locomotion of a robot with compliant actuators
Creators: name: Royal, Julian
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: The main objective of this project was to fabricate a test bed for a robot capable of locomotion on land and in water. After completing the main objective, we desired to measure the cost of transport and compare the robot’s efficiency when either the rigidity or shape of the actuator was changed. Ultimately, a robot capable of swimming using oscillating actuators was successfully fabricated. This thesis describes the mechanical design and fabrication as well as the LabView program used to control the robot and acquire data. Before fabrication, the components of the robot were modeled in SolidWorks so we could avoid having issues properly placing components. The CAD models also allowed us to improve the robot’s design when these issues were noticed. The LabView program allows the operator to manually control the robot. The program also allows the robot to swim autonomously along a straight path using feedback from its IMU sensors. These sensors return information on the robot body orientation and heading. By collecting data through video, in conjunction with a MATLAB program written to analyze the images, it will be possible to determine the robot’s displacement, and furthermore, its efficiency. The results of this project will hopefully lead to improvements in current water-based robot design.
Strong-coupled Relativity without Relativity

description: GR can be interpreted as a theory of evolving 3-geometries. A recent such formulation, the 3-space approach of Barbour, Foster and Ó Murchadha, also permits the construction of a limited number of other theories of evolving 3-geometries, including conformal gravity and strong gravity. In this paper, we use the 3-space approach to construct a 1-parameter family of theories which generalize strong gravity. The usual strong gravity is the strong-coupled limit of GR, which is appropriate near singularities and is one of very few regimes of GR which is amenable to quantization. Our new strong gravity theories are similar limits of scalar-tensor theories such as Brans--Dicke theory, and are likewise appropriate near singularities. They represent an extension of the regime amenable to quantization, which furthermore spans two qualitatively different types of inner product. We find that strong gravity theories permit coupling only to ultralocal matter fields and that they prevent gauge theory. Thus in the classical picture, gauge theory breaks down (rather than undergoing unification) as one approaches the GR initial singularity.

Thus, we arrive at the notion that receiving comments from instructors will be effective for learners watching the video. By including annotations from instructors, we propose to improve the quality of content for learners and thus enhance learners' motivation and study satisfaction. To achieve this, we introduced "Steering Mark," a tool that enables learners to easily grasp the overall structure of a video, to the video learning system. We examined the effectiveness and influence of Steering Mark through an experiment with 34 undergraduate learners. As a result, Steering Mark was found to be useful in improving the quality of video content for learners.

description: The article shows a fundamental one-mass dynamic model of the system for feeding and rotating the drill string. The results of modeling the coefficients of dynamism of the systems of rotation and feed of the drilling rod of the ratio of the forced and natural frequency are considered. The tables show the moment of inertia normalized to the axis of the drill string, compliance, stiffness and damping parameters. The formulas are expressed for the volumetric productivity of the drilling rig in the drilling mode, the installed powers of the drives of the rotator and the feed mechanism of the machine tool and compressor, the energy intensity of the drives of the rotator of the feed mechanism and compressor rotation, and the specific drilling speed. And also given the coefficients of dynamism of the systems of rotation and feed of the drill string, depending on the length of the drill string, the number of rods in the well and the strength of the drilled rock according to the algorithm.
In-plane optical features of the underdoped La_2CuO_4 based compounds: theoretical multiband analysis
Creators: name: Kupcic, I.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The three-component ab-plane optical conductivity of the high-T_c cuprates is derived using the gauge invariant response theory, and compared to the data previously obtained from the optical reflectivity measurements in the La_2CuO_4 based families. The valence electrons are described by the Emery three-band model with the antiferromagnetic correlations represented by an effective single-particle potential. In the 0 < delta < 0.3 doping range, it is shown that the total spectral weight of the three-band model is shared between the intra- and interband channels nearly in equal proportions. At optimum doping, the low-frequency conductivity has a (non-Drude) nearly single-component form, which transforms with decreasing doping into a two-component structure. The mid-infrared spectral weight is found to be extremely sensitive to the symmetry of the effective single-particle potential, as well as to the doping level. The gauge invariant form of the static and elastic Raman vertices is determined, allowing explicit verification of the effective mass theorem and the related conductivity sum rules.

description: Research on the demand side of public transportation systems with the use of time series data frequently shows conflicting results with respect to fare elasticities and the factors affecting it. In this analysis we complement prior research by developing seemingly unrelated regression equation models with monthly data for a city served by three different modes of public transportation. The results indicate that, as expected, urban public transport demand in Athens, Greece, is inelastic with respect to fares but, surprisingly, highly inelastic with respect to automobile fuel cost. Further, different transit modes have significantly different fare elasticities, a finding with important practical implications.
Matrix Supermultiplet of N=2, D=4 Supersymmetry and Supersymmetric 3-brane

description: It is shown that the Lagrangian density of the supersymmetric 3-brane can be regarded as a component of an infinite-dimensional supermultiplet of N=2, D=4 supersymmetry spontaneously broken down to N=1. The latter is described by N=1 Hermitian bosonic matrix superfield V_{mn} = V^\dagger_{nm}, [V_{mn}] = m+n, m,n=0,1,... in which the component V_{01} is identified with a chiral Goldstone N=1 multiplet associated with central charge of the N=2, D=4 superalgebra, and V_{11} obeys a specific nonlinear recursive equation providing the possibility to express V_{11} (as well as the other components V_{mn}) covariantly in terms of V_{01}. We demonstrate that the solution of V_{11} gives the right \emph{PBGS} action for the super-3-brane.

A formal proof of Hensel's lemma over the p-adic integers
Creators: name: Lewis, Robert Y.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The field of $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and the ring of $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ are essential constructions of modern number theory. Hensel's lemma, described by Gouvêa as the "most important algebraic property of the $p$-adic numbers," shows the existence of roots of polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ provided an initial seed point. The theorem can be proved for the $p$-adics with significantly weaker hypotheses than for general rings. We construct $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and $\mathbb{Z}_p$ in the Lean proof assistant, with various associated algebraic properties, and formally prove a strong form of Hensel's lemma. The proof lies at the intersection of algebraic and analytic reasoning and demonstrates how the Lean mathematical library handles such a heterogeneous topic.
