description: We present a formalism of Galilean quantum mechanics in non-inertial reference frames and discuss its implications for the equivalence principle. This extension of quantum mechanics rests on the Galilean line group, the semidirect product of the real line and the group of analytic functions from the real line to the Euclidean group in three dimensions. This group provides transformations between all inertial and non-inertial reference frames and contains the Galilei group as a subgroup. We construct a certain class of unitary representations of the Galilean line group and show that these representations determine the structure of quantum mechanics in non-inertial reference frames. Our representations of the Galilean line group contain the usual unitary projective representations of the Galilei group, but have a more intricate cocycle structure. The transformation formula for the Hamiltonian under the Galilean line group shows that in a non-inertial reference frame it acquires a fictitious potential energy term that is proportional to the inertial mass, suggesting the equivalence of inertial mass and gravitational mass in quantum mechanics.

description: The object of the paper is the dependence of Koszul complexes and dependence of dual Koszul complexes of two systems of non-homogeneous polynomials, when one system is a part of other system, in connection with the duality in a Koszul complex established by author earlier. Whence, the dependence of Koszul complexes and dependence of dual Koszul complexes follow when one system is linearly expressed through other system. Obtaned results are used in the proof of homotopic equivalence, formulated earlier by the author, of the Koszul complex and dual Koszul complex of a system of non-homogeneous polynomials, what happens when the ideal of these polynomials is 0-dimensional.

description: We examine how the (2+1)-dimensional AdS space is covered by the Fefferman-Graham system of coordinates for Minkowski, Rindler and static de Sitter boundary metrics. We find that, in the last two cases, the coordinates do not cover the full AdS space. On a constant-time slice, the line delimiting the excluded region has endpoints at the locations of the horizons of the boundary metric. Its length, after an appropriate regularization, reproduces the entropy of the dual CFT on the boundary background. The horizon can be interpreted as the holographic image of the line segment delimiting the excluded region in the vicinity of the boundary.

description: Hurwitz numbers count branched covers of the Riemann sphere with specified ramification data, or equivalently, transitive permutation factorizations in the symmetric group with specified cycle types. Monotone Hurwitz numbers count a restricted subset of the branched covers counted by the Hurwitz numbers, and have arisen in recent work on the the asymptotic expansion of the Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber integral. In this paper we begin a detailed study of monotone Hurwitz numbers. We prove two results that are reminiscent of those for classical Hurwitz numbers. The first is the monotone join-cut equation, a partial differential equation with initial conditions that characterizes the generating function for monotone Hurwitz numbers in arbitrary genus. The second is our main result, in which we give an explicit formula for monotone Hurwitz numbers in genus zero.

description: In the Soviet Union, Italy was perceived as ‘the country of music’. Soviet Estrada artists used to travel to Italy to study music or take part in music festivals (Festival di Napoli, Sanremo); the good political relations between the Soviet and the Italian Communist Party and the strong diffusion of Italian Neorealist cinema in the USSR contributed to the formation of an italomania which can be still observed today. During the 1960s, Italian popular music and Neapolitan canzone were intensively received, diffused and covered in the Soviet Union. At the end of the 1960s/beginning of the 1970s, this reception proved itself to be crucial in the development of the Soviet VIAs. Analysing songs structures, lyrics, album covers and flexi-discs included in popular magazines, the article analyses the modi of this reception based on three case studies: Anna German’s diffusion of Neapolitan music in the Soviet Estrada scene; Robertino Loreti’s Soviet canonization as the ‘singer of the stars’; Gianni Morandi’s and Marino Marini’s influence on the music and aesthetics of two of the first Soviet VIAs, Poiushchie gitary and Orera.

description: The techniques of transcranial Doppler ultrasound and dynamic end-tidal forcing were used to study the dynamics of the middle cerebral artery peak flow velocity (V P) (i.e. index of cerebral blood flow) response to 60 min of sustained isocapnic hypoxia, isocapnic hyperoxia, euoxic hypocapnia, and euoxic hypercapnia in humans. Each protocol involved two 60-min interventions, with a 60-min recovery period between tests. Peak flow velocity increased significantly during hypoxia (14.7%) and decreased during hyperoxia (11.8%). During hypercapnia, VP increased significantly (33.6%) and remained elevated. There was no evidence of adaptation during these protocols. However, a significant adaptation was observed during hypocapnia. After an initial decrease (39%), VP increased significantly and stabilized at 25.2% below baseline. This adaptive component was found to be significantly faster during the second intervention. There were no significant differences between the first and second intervention for the remaining protocols.
TRUCKS CARTEL DAMAGES CLAIMS: THOUSAND AND ODD JUDGMENTS ISSUED BY SPANISH APPEAL COURTS

Trucks Cartel

description: This article explores the Spanish caselaw on the trucks cartel damages claims. It presents a rigorous empirical assessment of the courts' decisions (as of the cut-off date of 1/10/22), focusing particularly on the 1185 judgments on the merits issued by the courts of appeal. The large number of judgments is explained by the lack of an adequate instrument for class actions. Nevertheless, this article explains that the Spanish judicial system has managed to digest mass litigation through the collectivization of judgments, which replicate each other inefficiently but still manage to deliver justice.
 There is consensus among Spanish courts that the trucks cartel was harmful and that it caused an overcharge in trucks’ purchases while the cartel was in place, but they show disagreement on the level of proof claimants are required to meet in quantifying the overcharge and in the criteria followed by courts to estimate the overcharge when awarding damages.
 The Spanish courts’ experience with trucks damages claims will undoubtedly be helpful for the forthcoming follow-on damages claims emerging before the Spanish courts (prominently the milk procurement cartel and the car manufacturers' cartel). It may also be useful for courts and practitioners in other Member States in which the trucks cartel litigation is still in progress, as Spanish courts have had to deal with many of the numerous potential doubts, questions, and problems that this case poses.

description: Relations between the length of a sunspot cycle and the average temperature in the same and the next cycle are calculated for a number of meteorological stations in Norway and in the North Atlantic region. No significant trend is found between the length of a cycle and the average temperature in the same cycle, but a significant negative trend is found between the length of a cycle and the temperature in the next cycle. This provides a tool to predict an average temperature decrease of at least 1.0 "C from solar cycle 23 to 24 for the stations and areas analyzed. We find for the Norwegian local stations investigated that 25-56% of the temperature increase the last 150 years may be attributed to the Sun. For 3 North Atlantic stations we get 63-72% solar contribution. This points to the Atlantic currents as reinforcing a solar signal.

We describe Green's relations on the semigroups $\mathscr{B}(G)$, $\mathscr{B}^+(G)$, $\bar{\mathscr{B}}(G)$ and $\bar{\mathscr{B}}\,^+(G)$, their bands and show that they are simple, and moreover the semigroups $\mathscr{B}(G)$ and $\mathscr{B}^+(G)$ are bisimple. We show that for a commutative linearly ordered group $G$ all non-trivial congruences on the semigroup $\mathscr{B}(G)$ (and $\mathscr{B}^+(G)$) are group congruences if and only if the group $G$ is archimedean. Also we describe the structure of group congruences on the semigroups $\mathscr{B}(G)$, $\mathscr{B}^+(G)$, $\bar{\mathscr{B}}(G)$ and $\bar{\mathscr{B}}\,^+(G)$.

description: We report the discovery of a Type Ia supernova (SNIa) at redshift z=1.55 with the infrared detector of the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3-IR) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). This object was discovered in CANDELS imaging data of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, and followed as part of the CANDELS+CLASH Supernova project, comprising the SN search components from those two HST multi-cycle treasury programs. This is the highest redshift SNIa with direct spectroscopic evidence for classification. It is also the first SN Ia at z>1 found and followed in the infrared, providing a full light curve in rest-frame optical bands. The classification and redshift are securely defined from a combination of multi-band and multi-epoch photometry of the SN, ground-based spectroscopy of the host galaxy, and WFC3-IR grism spectroscopy of both the SN and host. This object is the first of a projected sample at z>1.5 that will be discovered by the CANDELS and CLASH programs. The full CANDELS+CLASH SN Ia sample will enable unique tests for evolutionary effects that could arise due to differences in SN Ia progenitor systems as a function of redshift. This high-z sample will also allow measurement of the SN Ia rate out to z~2, providing a complementary constraint on SN Ia progenitor models.

REAL-TIME NEUROMUSCULOSKELETAL MODELING TO ESTIMATE MUSCLE EXCITATIONS AND JOINT MOMENTS AT DIFFERENT WALKING SPEEDS: A PILOT STUDY
Creators: name: Damonte, Federica
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Powered prosthetic legs are promising solutions to assist amputees locomotion in a large variety of conditions. However, passive devices are still the most common commercial solution. To fully benefit from the active device, the user has to rely on the dynamic control of it and, on its visual observations or incidental signals, to walk in a natural and safe manner. The absence of communication from the user to the prosthetic that can translate body states into control commands results in the adoption of non-natural compensatory movements. An alternative solution to commercial finite state machines is given by musculoskeletal models driven by electromyographic signals (EMGs) that mimic the dynamics and motor control strategies in humans. However, EMGs are not always available as sometimes muscles are removed. Instead, our control system includes a model to mimic the role of the central nervous system in giving movement commands in real-time. It may improve user-device interaction providing an intuitive and robust system.
Globalization and corporate social responsibility: the need for mandatory regulation of foreign direct investment in conflict zones
Creators: name: Blackwood, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 155-164
description: Though Canada has adopted a 'human security' agenda that is meant to guide its foreign policy, its adherence to globalisation as a policy prescription places it at odds with this agenda in many areas. This thesis uses a case study of the operations of a Canadian oil company in Sudan to demonstrate how a lack of regulation of Canadian corporations abroad, particularly those operating in conflict zones, is incongruent with Canada's human security agenda. Two types of regulatory vacuums are identified and then analysed within the context of globalisation. It will be argued that Canada needs to strengthen existing laws and create new ones for governing the overseas activities of its transnational corporations if human security is to be an effective policy guide. However, this is unlikely to happen in a political climate that favours neo-liberal trends taking place under globalisation and which favours corporate self-regulation over mandatory legal regulation.

description: Rapidly rotating nuclei provide us good testing grounds to study the pairing correlations; in fact, the transition from the superfluid to the normal phase is realized at high-spin states. The role played by the pairing correlations is quite different in these two phases: The static (BCS like mean-field) contribution is dominant in the superfluid phase, while the dynamic fluctuations beyond the mean-field approximation are important in the normal phase. The influence of the pairing fluctuations on the high-spin rotational spectra and moments of inertia is discussed.

Exploring the lived experience following trauma: a hermeneutic phenomenology study

Publisher: name: Social Work

description: Bibliography: p. 155-160
description: The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of adult individuals who have been involved in an acute trauma event. What we have come to know and understand about acute trauma experiences has been mainly influenced by research methods that have offered categorized or defined trauma outcomes. Although this research and literature have offered us knowledge which has been helpful in understanding acute trauma experience, it is knowledge that has been based primarily on a positivistic approach. This interpretive investigation was undertaken to provide further opportunity for understanding. Using a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach, seven individuals, representing nine acute trauma events, shared their experiences through open-ended interviews. It was through these conversations that a co-created interpretation of their experience emerged. This thesis presents the lived experience of seven individuals who were involved in acute trauma events as we have come to understand them at this point in time. The information produced from this research study will be discussed in the fonn of considerations and implications for social work policy, education and counseling.

description: Recently, different proposals have been put forward on how thermalization proceeds in heavy-ion collisions in the idealized limit of very large nuclei at sufficiently high energy. Important aspects of the parametric estimates at weak coupling may be tested using well-established classical-statistical lattice simulations of the far-from-equilibrium gluon dynamics. This has to be confronted with strong coupling scenarios in related theories based on gauge-string dualities. Furthermore, closely related questions about far-from-equilibrium dynamics arise in early-universe cosmology and in non-relativistic systems of ultracold atoms. These were central topics of the EMMI Rapid Reaction Task Force meeting held on December 12-14, 2011, at the University of Heidelberg, which we report on.

description: This paper reports on the spectroscopic investigation of 238 Cepheids in the northern sky. Of these stars, about 150 are new to the study of the galactic abundance gradient. These new Cepheids bring the total number of Cepheids involved in abundance distribution studies to over 400. In this work we also consider systematics between various studies and also those which result from the choice of models. We find systematic variations exist at the 0.06 dex level both between studies and model atmospheres. In order to control the systematic effects our final gradients depend only on abundances derived herein. A simple linear fit to the Cepheid data from 398 stars yields a gradient d[Fe/H]/dRG = -0.062 \pm 0.002 dex/kpc which is in good agreement with previously determined values. We have also reexamined the region of the "metallicity island" of Luck et al. (2006). With the doubling of the sample in that region and our internally consistent abundances, we find there is scant evidence for a distinct island. We also find in our sample the first reported Cepheid (V1033 Cyg) with a pronounced Li feature. The Li abundance is consistent with the star being on its red-ward pass towards the first giant branch.

This algorithm and its implementation help to achieve astrophysical results in shorter times than from other methods. A brief review is given of the integrated spectroscopic technique applied to the study of open clusters as well as the basic assumptions that justify its use. We describe the numerical algorithm employed in detail, show examples of its application, and provide a link to the code. Our method has successfully been applied to integrated spectroscopy of open clusters, both in the Galaxy and in the Magellanic Clouds, to determine ages and reddenings.

The measured values are compared with those predicted from Rydberg-Klein-Rees (RKR) potential energy curves. From the fluorescence decay curve the radiative lifetime of the A^{2}Π_{1/2} state is measured to be 28\pm2 ns, and the corresponding transition dipole moment is 4.39\pm0.16 D. The implications for laser cooling YbF are discussed.

description: NGC 2419 is a massive outer halo Galactic globular cluster whose stars have previously been shown to have somewhat peculiar abundance patterns. We have observed seven luminous giants that are members of NGC 2419 with Keck/HIRES at reasonable SNR. One of these giants is very peculiar, with an extremely low [Mg/Fe] and high [K/Fe] but normal abundances of most other elements. The abundance pattern does not match the nucleosynthetic yields of any supernova model. The other six stars show abundance ratios typical of inner halo Galactic globular clusters, represented here by a sample of giants in the nearby globular cluster M30. Although our measurements show that NGC 2419 is unusual in some respects, its bulk properties do not provide compelling evidence for a difference between inner and outer halo globular clusters.

description: Efficient wavelength conversion of images has many potential applications in optical communication, sensing, imaging, and quantum information fields. In this work, we report on here the first demonstration of an image transfer between the light of wavelength 780 nm and the light of wavelength 1530 nm by performing two sequential four-wave mixing processes in two different hot atomic rubidium vapor cells. Furthermore, we confirm the persistence of coherence of the input light during this sequential process experimentally. Our results may be useful to the research fields mentioned above.

description: The collaborative nature of federated learning (FL) poses a major threat in the form of manipulation of local training data and local updates, known as the Byzantine poisoning attack. To address this issue, many Byzantine-robust aggregation rules (AGRs) have been proposed to filter out or moderate suspicious local updates uploaded by Byzantine participants. This paper introduces a novel approach called AGRAMPLIFIER, aiming to simultaneously improve the robustness, fidelity, and efficiency of the existing AGRs. The core idea of AGRAMPLIFIER is to amplify the "morality" of local updates by identifying the most repressive features of each gradient update, which provides a clearer distinction between malicious and benign updates, consequently improving the detection effect. To achieve this objective, two approaches, namely AGRMP and AGRXAI, are proposed. AGRMP organizes local updates into patches and extracts the largest value from each patch, while AGRXAI leverages explainable AI methods to extract the gradient of the most activated features. By equipping AGRAMPLIFIER with the existing Byzantine-robust mechanisms, we successfully enhance the model's robustness, maintaining its fidelity and improving overall efficiency. AGRAMPLIFIER is universally compatible with the existing Byzantine-robust mechanisms. The paper demonstrates its effectiveness by integrating it with all mainstream AGR mechanisms. Extensive evaluations conducted on seven datasets from diverse domains against seven representative poisoning attacks consistently show enhancements in robustness, fidelity, and efficiency, with average gains of 40.08%, 39.18%, and 10.68%, respectively.

title: Uncertainty Quantification and its Applications for Multimodal Semantic Segmentation
Creators: name: Colling, Pascal
Publisher: name: Bergische Universität Wuppertal

description: Neural networks are commonly used to solve scene understanding problems such as semantic segmentation or object detection. Although neural networks can achieve outstanding accuracy, prediction errors can still happen with a certain probability. Therefore, it is essential to quantify the uncertainty. Besides that, uncertainty quantification also has an important role during optimization of neural networks. Furthermore, it is highly desirable to represent uncertainty in any system where these models are used, in a trustworthy manner.
 This thesis is about uncertainty quantification and its applications for multimodal semantic segmentation in the area of automated driving. The first contribution is a new active learning method for semantic segmentation of images. In this method, only quadratic image regions instead of whole ones are queried, which follow two selection criteria: it is assumed that the image regions cannot be segmented correctly, and that the annotation costs are low. Therefore, uncertainty quantification is applied to identify images with a low predicted segmentation quality. For the second criterion, a practical cost estimation approach is introduced. The second contribution is a new uncertainty quantification method for semantic segmentation of lidar point clouds. This method aims to detect false positive segments as well as to provide a segment-wise prediction quality estimation. This yields an uncertainty quantification per predicted point but also a quality estimation on predicted segment level.
 The third part of this work describes a new procedure for automated generation of high definition maps, which can be seen as semantic segmentation of the road environment. In this procedure, object detection and tracking are applied to detect road users. The detected road users as well as the driving path of the recording vehicle are aggregated and the map features, for example lanes, are extracted from this aggregated data. By aggregating data from multiple recordings and taking uncertainty measures into account, highly reliable high definition maps are generated.

description: Wireless Sensor networks are dense networks of small, low-cost sensors, which collect and disseminate environmental data and thus facilitate monitoring and controlling of physical environment from remote locations with better accuracy. The major challenge is to achieve energy efficiency during the communication among the nodes. This paper aims at proposing a solution to schedule the node's activities to reduce the energy consumption. We propose the construction of a decentralized lifetime maximizing tree within clusters. We aim at minimizing the distance of transmission with minimization of energy consumption. The sensor network is distributed into clusters based on the close proximity of the nodes. Data transfer among the nodes is done with a hybrid technique of both TDMA/ FDMA which leads to efficient utilization of bandwidth and maximizing throughput.

description: In this paper we investigate the performance of the likelihood ratio method as a tool for identifying optical and infrared counterparts to proposed radio continuum surveys with SKA precursor and pathfinder telescopes. We present a comparison of the infrared counterparts identified by the likelihood ratio in the VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO) survey to radio observations with 6, 10 and 15 arcsec resolution. We cross-match a deep radio catalogue consisting of radio sources with peak flux density $>$ 60 $μ$Jy with deep near-infrared data limited to $K_{\mathrm{s}}\lesssim$ 22.6. Comparing the infrared counterparts from this procedure to those obtained when cross-matching a set of simulated lower resolution radio catalogues indicates that degrading the resolution from 6 arcsec to 10 and 15 arcsec decreases the completeness of the cross-matched catalogue by approximately 3 and 7 percent respectively. When matching against shallower infrared data, comparable to that achieved by the VISTA Hemisphere Survey, the fraction of radio sources with reliably identified counterparts drops from $\sim$89%, at $K_{\mathrm{s}}\lesssim$22.6, to 47% with $K_{\mathrm{s}}\lesssim$20.0. Decreasing the resolution at this shallower infrared limit does not result in any further decrease in the completeness produced by the likelihood ratio matching procedure. However, we note that radio continuum surveys with the MeerKAT and eventually the SKA, will require long baselines in order to ensure that the resulting maps are not limited by instrumental confusion noise.

description: The frequentist behavior of nonparametric Bayes estimates, more specifically, rates of contraction of the posterior distributions to shrinking $L^r$-norm neighborhoods, $1\le r\le\infty$, of the unknown parameter, are studied. A theorem for nonparametric density estimation is proved under general approximation-theoretic assumptions on the prior. The result is applied to a variety of common examples, including Gaussian process, wavelet series, normal mixture and histogram priors. The rates of contraction are minimax-optimal for $1\le r\le2$, but deteriorate as $r$ increases beyond 2. In the case of Gaussian nonparametric regression a Gaussian prior is devised for which the posterior contracts at the optimal rate in all $L^r$-norms, $1\le r\le\infty$.

description: We investigate the S=1 antiferromagnetic quantum spin chain with the exchange and single-ion anisotropies in a magnetic field, using the numerical exact diagonalization of finite-size clusters, the level spectroscopy analysis, and the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. It is found that a translational symmetry broken magnetization plateau possibly appears at the half of the saturation magnetization, when the anisotropies compete with each other. The level spectroscopy analysis gives the phase diagram at half the saturation magnetization. The DMRG calculation presents the magnetization curves for some typical parameters and clarifies the spin structure in the plateau phase.

description: Particle-in-Cell simulations of magnetic reconnection with an H+ current sheet and a mixed background plasma of H+ and O+ ions are completed using physical mass ratios. Four main results are shown. First, the O+ presence slightly decreases the reconnection rate and the magnetic reconnection evolution depends mainly on the lighter H+ ion species in the presented simulations. Second, the Hall magnetic field is characterized by a two-scale structure in presence of O+ ions: it reaches sharp peak values in a small area in proximity of the neutral line, and then decreases slowly over a large region. Third, the two background species initially separate in the outflow region because H+ and O+ ions are accelerated by different mechanisms occurring on different time scales and with different strengths. Fourth, the effect of a guide field on the O+ dynamics is studied: the O+ presence does not change the reconnected flux and all the characteristic features of guide field magnetic reconnection are still present. Moreover, the guide field introduces an O+ circulation pattern between separatrices that enhances high O+ density areas and depletes low O+ density regions in proximity of the reconnection fronts. The importance and the validity of these results are finally discussed.
