description: In dieser Arbeit werden Stornierungen von Hotelbuchungen mithilfe verschiedener Methoden maschinellen Lernens vorhergesagt. Buchungsstornierungen stellen für die Hotelindustrie ein Problem dar, da sie die Planbarkeit von Einnahmen und Kosten stark erschweren. Unter Verwendung von logistischen Regressionen, Random Forests und künstlichen neuronalen Netzen werden Modelle erstellt, die diese Stornierungen vorhersagen sollen. Diese verschiedenen Modelle werden anschließend miteinander verglichen, um die effektivste Methode zu finden. Vorhersagemodelle könnten bestehende Probleme, die durch Stornierungen entstehen, lösen, in dem Maßnahmen wie Überbuchungen effektiver eingesetzt werden könnten. Bei der Analyse wird ein Datensatz, der von zwei portugiesischen Hotels stammt, mit fast 120.000 realen Beobachtungen und 31 Variablen zu Hilfe genommen.
description: The aim of this thesis is to predict hotel booking cancellations with different machine learning methods. Hotel booking cancellations are a problem for hotels, because they diminish revenue and make it harder to plan future income. Using logistic regressions, Random Forests and artificial neural networks different prediction models are computed. The models are being compared to eachother to find the most effective method. These models could solve existing problems caused by cancellation, because measures such as overbooking could be used more efficiently. The analysis is based on a real dataset from two portuguese hotels and has almost 120,000 observations and 31 variables.

description: The machine learning communities, such as those around computer vision or natural language processing, have developed numerous supportive tools and benchmark datasets to accelerate the development. In contrast, the network traffic classification field lacks standard benchmark datasets for most tasks, and the available supportive software is rather limited in scope. This paper aims to address the gap and introduces DataZoo, a toolset designed to streamline dataset management in network traffic classification and to reduce the space for potential mistakes in the evaluation setup. DataZoo provides a standardized API for accessing three extensive datasets -- CESNET-QUIC22, CESNET-TLS22, and CESNET-TLS-Year22. Moreover, it includes methods for feature scaling and realistic dataset partitioning, taking into consideration temporal and service-related factors. The DataZoo toolset simplifies the creation of realistic evaluation scenarios, making it easier to cross-compare classification methods and reproduce results.

description: Using a real-time renormalization group method we study the minimal model of a quantum dot dominated by charge fluctuations, the two-lead interacting resonant level model, at finite bias voltage. We develop a set of RG equations to treat the case of weak and strong charge fluctuations, together with the determination of power-law exponents up to second order in the Coulomb interaction. We derive analytic expressions for the charge susceptibility, the steady-state current and the conductance in the situation of arbitrary system parameters, in particular away from the particle-hole symmetric point and for asymmetric Coulomb interactions. In the generic asymmetric situation we find that power laws can be observed for the current only as function of the level position (gate voltage) but not as function of the voltage. Furthermore, we study the quench dynamics after a sudden switch-on of the level-lead couplings. The time evolution of the dot occupation and current is governed by exponential relaxation accompanied by voltage-dependent oscillations and characteristic algebraic decay.

description: Ecosystems consist of pairwise relationships that determine the
      characteristics of communities. Host-pathogen relationships are unique in
      ecological communities since hosts can also be considered as an ecosystem
      in which commensal microorganisms, parasites and host tissues compete for
      resources. At all ecosystem levels, resource availability produces
      bottom-up effects that can determine the outcome of competitive
      interactions. Nutrients are key resources due to their ability to
      influence life-history. Theories such as nutritional geometry provide a
      framework for the investigation of nutrient interactions with life-history
      traits. Insect models are common due to their economic importance as pests
      as well as some similarities with human biology, hence much of what is
      known about nutrition and immunity comes from insects. Using the Egyptian
      cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and its
      natural pathogen Xenorhabdus nematophilus (Enterobacteriaceae) as a model
      system, this thesis investigates the influence of host nutrition on
      pathogen virulence and host resistance/tolerance. Findings confirmed the
      role of dietary protein intake on S. littoralis resistance against
      pathogens (Chapter 2) and indicated possible carbohydrate-use by the
      caterpillar to tolerate infection (Chapter 3). Dietary macronutrient
      intake altered the proportion of key nutrient groups in the haemolymph as
      well as concentrations of individual nutrients (Chapter 4). Both in vitro
      and in vivo, X. nematophilus exploited host carbohydrates for growth,
      indicating direct competition for host resources (Chapters 3 & 5).
      In vitro assays also revealed direct inhibition of bacterial growth by
      host haemolymph protein (Chapter 5). Altogether these results allude to a
      greater significance for the self-medication behaviour displayed by S.
      littoralis during infection.

description: L’articolo, ponendosi in distonia con l’interpretazione dell’art. 2 della Costituzione tradizionalmente invalsa nella dottrina maggioritaria, offre e sviluppa argomenti a sostegno di una diversa lettura: lo stesso art. 2 Cost. fonderebbe direttamente, nell’an, l’esistenza di «doveri inderogabili» in capo alle pubbliche amministrazioni, serventi alla garanzia del «nucleo irriducibile» dei «diritti inviolabili» della persona umana nel prisma della solidarietà costituzionale. Nello scritto, dichiaratamente di carattere esplorativo, si discutono presupposti, antitesi, tesi e corollari di questa diversa interpretazione, mostrando come dall’accoglimento di essa potrebbe discendere un cambio di paradigma, a vari livelli, nel modo di ricostruire le relazioni tra persona e amministrazione.

Phase diagram of QCD matter with magnetic field: domain-wall Skyrmion chain in chiral soliton lattice

description: QCD matter in strong magnetic field exhibits a rich phase structure. In the presence of an external magnetic field, the chiral Lagrangian for two flavors is accompanied by the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term containing an anomalous coupling of the neutral pion $π_0$ to the magnetic field via the chiral anomaly. Due to this term, the ground state is inhomogeneous in the form of either chiral soliton lattice (CSL), an array of solitons in the direction of magnetic field, or domain-wall Skyrmion (DWSk) phase in which Skyrmions supported by $π_3[{\rm SU}(2)] \simeq {\mathbb Z}$ appear inside the solitons as topological lumps supported by $π_2(S^2) \simeq {\mathbb Z}$ in the effective worldvolume theory of the soliton. In this paper, we determine the phase boundary between the CSL and DWSk phases beyond the single-soliton approximation, within the leading order of chiral perturbation theory. To this end, we explore a domain-wall Skyrmion chain in multiple soliton configurations. First, we construct the effective theory of the CSL by the moduli approximation, and obtain the ${\mathbb C}P^1$ model or O(3) model, gauged by a background electromagnetic gauge field, with two kinds of topological terms coming from the WZW term: one is the topological lump charge in 2+1 dimensional worldvolume and the other is a topological term counting the soliton number. Topological lumps in the 2+1 dimensional worldvolume theory are superconducting rings and their sizes are constrained by the flux quantization condition. The negative energy condition of the lumps yields the phase boundary between the CSL and DWSk phases. We find that a large region inside the CSL is occupied by the DWSk phase, and that the CSL remains metastable in the DWSk phase in the vicinity of the phase boundary.

Studies of forearc seismicity and structure in British Columbia and Washington State
Creators: name: Merrill, Reid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: British Columbia and Washington state encompass the northern extent of the Cascadia subduction zone and the southern termination of the Queen Charlotte Transform fault. Convergence between the North American plate and oceanic Juan de Fuca (JdF), Explorer, and Pacific plates is accommodated by subduction, underthrusting, and transform faulting and produces abundant seismicity that is unevenly distributed along the margin. This thesis probes several earthquake-dense regions in Cascadia that include a unique cluster of seismicity south of Texada Island in BC, the highly active Puget Lowlands in Washington state, and the offshore Nootka Fault zone (NFZ) region that separates the JdF from the Explorer microplate. High-resolution relative earthquake locations and new seismic velocity models strongly suggest that these regions of dense seismicity are influenced by fluids. Fluids enter the subduction system through the oceanic plate and are expelled by increasing pressure and temperature conditions. Subsequent fluid redistribution likely influences the distribution of seismicity. The Texada cluster of seismicity is revealed to manifest ∼20 km long faults within the JdF slab, which are inferred to be structures inherited from a propagator wake that exhibits increased levels of hydration. In the Puget Lowlands, robust, tomographically-derived measurements of Poisson’s ratio suggest that the Washington forearc is dominated by the accreted Siletzia terrane, and that this >10 km thick unit of flood basalts inhibits infiltration of slab-derived fluids into the overriding crust, thereby concentrating earthquakes beneath it. A complex configuration of oceanic lithosphere at the NFZ is revealed by newly determined seismic velocity models, and the association of large earthquakes and abundant microseismicity with plate bending faults suggests that fluid ingress lowers effective normal stresses and promotes brittle failure producing Vancouver Island’s largest earthquakes in recent decades. The penultimate chapter of this thesis presents a new methodology for determining changes in seismic velocity from seismic coda. Repeating earthquakes and ambient noise correlations from Haida Gwaii are utilized to demonstrate that the velocity of the shallow crust decreased following the 2012 Mw 7.8 earthquake, which we interpret as due to earthquake-induced changes in fluid-filled porosity.
title: The transformative nature of networks within contemporary art practice
Creators: name: Lynch, G
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2018

description: Since the introduction of the World Wide Web in 1991, it has had a significant impact on contemporary art. As a consequence, however, networks are almost exclusively considered as technologically determined, art produced is digital, refers to the internet and is more often than not specifically web-based. This research redefines the role of networks in contemporary art. It proposes that networks are not a specific technology that provides a means for art practice to occur but are a concept that transforms practice and enables a networked art.
Networked art is a continuation of twentieth century developments in art including cybernetic art, systems aesthetics, new media art and relational aesthetics. The research discusses these and considers how practice became systemised through strategies such as the dematerialization of art as object (Lippard, 1997) and the renouncement of objecthood (Fried, 1998). Equally important is the emergence of cybernetics and systems theory that explained concepts such as process and behaviour frequently employed in art practice. By defining a network as a type of system, networked art is foremost concerned with connections or links and considers the resulting behaviours that occur. Networked art is therefore not centred on networks as form. It can adapt as technologies evolve over time and as such is considered post specific technologies and the disciplines connected with them.
Emerging out of my ongoing art practice this practice-led research makes an original contribution to knowledge in the field of contemporary art in three ways. Firstly, it demonstrates how networks in contemporary art do not have a basis in a specific technology since they have been employed before current technologies. Secondly, the research explains networked art through the development of a framework and practice as research that informs each other. Thirdly, the research discusses emergent processes, themes and content and clarifies how networked art positions itself within current contemporary art discourse as a post-disciplinary practice.

description: We present an approach to achieve zero modes in lattice models that do not rely on any symmetry or topology of the bulk, which are robust against disorder in the bulk of any type and strength. Such symmetry-free zero modes (SFZMs) are formed by attaching a single site or small cluster with zero mode(s) to the bulk, which serves as the "nucleus" that expands to the entire lattice. We identify the requirements on the couplings between this boundary and the bulk, which reveals that this approach is intrinsically non-Hermitian. We then provide several examples with either an arbitrary or structured bulk, forming spectrally embedded zero modes in the bulk continuum, midgap zero modes, and even restoring the "zeroness" of coupling or disorder-shifted topological corner states. Focusing on viable realizations using photonic lattices, we show that the resulting SFZM can be observed as the single lasing mode when optical gain is applied to the boundary.

Unsere Absicht besteht darin, die Lebensqualität des von der Friedreich-Ataxie betroffenen Menschen durch Beratungsgespräche zu steigern. In diesen Gesprächen möchten wir die Auseinandersetzung mit der Lebenssituation des Betroffenen, ungefähr zwei Jahre nach dem Erhalt der Diagnose „unheilbare Krankheit“ anregen. Wir sind der Ansicht, dass die Einstellung gegenüber der eigenen Lebenssituation richtungsweisend für die Zukunft sein kann. Somit soll im Sinne des Zitats vom französischen Autor Jean Anouilh der Fokus auf die individuellen Stärken des Betroffenen und auch auf den Mehrwert, den seine Krankheit mit sich bringt, gerichtet werden. Die lösungs- und ressourcenorientierte Beratung scheint uns dafür besonders geeignet, da sie den Blick weg vom Problem hin zu den sich bietenden Chancen in der Zukunft richtet. Damit die Beratungsgespräche abwechslungsreich sind und Kreativität zulassen, wenden wir zudem Impact-Techniken an.

description: Tema
A raíz de la crisis de 2008 España empieza a prestar atención a la salida de jóvenes cualificados hacia el exterior. Sin embargo, se trata de un fenómeno minoritario en comparación con las migraciones internas, cuyo análisis por nivel educativo muestra procesos importantes de descapitalización educativa en los territorios despoblados del interior de España y dinámicas de acumulación en las provincias donde se localizan las ciudades españolas más importantes.

Resumen
Los estudios comparativos internacionales muestran que la población española tiene una baja tendencia a la migración. No obstante, las cifras agregadas de movilidad esconden una heterogeneidad geográfica compleja, pues la intensidad migratoria difiere según el territorio y el nivel educativo de los individuos. Los balances interprovinciales de población española poco cualificada son relativamente equilibrados, exceptuando las lógicas espaciales de desconcentración, pero la dinámica migratoria de los jóvenes con educación universitaria genera procesos importantes de descapitalización en las provincias despobladas y acumulación en los territorios con mayores densidades demográficas. A pesar de la importancia que se ha dado a la emigración de españoles hacia el extranjero durante los últimos años, se trata de un fenómeno poco significativo si se compara con las migraciones internas. La inmigración extranjera ha contribuido a acrecentar los procesos de concentración, pues los foráneos que llegaron a las provincias despobladas presentan un nivel educativo medio o bajo, mientras que los más cualificados se concentraron en las mismas áreas receptoras del talento local.

description: We show that the symmetric difference distance measure for set systems, and more specifically for delta-matroids, corresponds to the notion of nullity for symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices. In particular, as graphs (i.e., symmetric matrices over GF(2)) may be seen as a special class of delta-matroids, this distance measure generalizes the notion of nullity in this case. We characterize delta-matroids in terms of equicardinality of minimal sets with respect to inclusion (in addition we obtain similar characterizations for matroids). In this way, we find that, e.g., the delta-matroids obtained after loop complementation and after pivot on a single element together with the original delta-matroid fulfill the property that two of them have equal "null space" while the third has a larger dimension.

description: We discuss an infinite class of metabelian Von Neumann rho-invariants. Each one is a homomorphism from the monoid of knots to the real line. In general they are not well defined on the concordance group. Nonetheless, we show that they pass to well defined homomorphisms from the subgroup of the concordance group generated by anisotropic knots. Thus, the computation of even one of these invariants can be used to conclude that a knot is of infinite order. We introduce a method to give a computable bound on these invariants. Finally we compute this bound to get a new and explicit infinite set of twist knots which is linearly independent in the concordance group and whose every member is of algebraic order 2 .

description: Mis- and disinformation online have become a major societal problem as major sources of online harms of different kinds. One common form of mis- and disinformation is out-of-context (OOC) information, where different pieces of information are falsely associated, e.g., a real image combined with a false textual caption or a misleading textual description. Although some past studies have attempted to defend against OOC mis- and disinformation through external evidence, they tend to disregard the role of different pieces of evidence with different stances. Motivated by the intuition that the stance of evidence represents a bias towards different detection results, we propose a stance extraction network (SEN) that can extract the stances of different pieces of multi-modal evidence in a unified framework. Moreover, we introduce a support-refutation score calculated based on the co-occurrence relations of named entities into the textual SEN. Extensive experiments on a public large-scale dataset demonstrated that our proposed method outperformed the state-of-the-art baselines, with the best model achieving a performance gain of 3.2% in accuracy.

description: We investigate entanglement transmission over an unknown channel in the presence of a third party (called the adversary), which is enabled to choose the channel from a given set of memoryless but non-stationary channels without informing the legitimate sender and receiver about the particular choice that he made. This channel model is called arbitrarily varying quantum channel (AVQC). We derive a quantum version of Ahlswede's dichotomy for classical arbitrarily varying channels. This includes a regularized formula for the common randomness-assisted capacity for entanglement transmission of an AVQC. Quite surprisingly and in contrast to the classical analog of the problem involving the maximal and average error probability, we find that the capacity for entanglement transmission of an AVQC always equals its strong subspace transmission capacity. These results are accompanied by different notions of symmetrizability (zero-capacity conditions) as well as by conditions for an AVQC to have a capacity described by a single-letter formula. In he final part of the paper the capacity of the erasure-AVQC is computed and some light shed on the connection between AVQCs and zero-error capacities. Additionally, we show by entirely elementary and operational arguments motivated by the theory of AVQCs that the quantum, classical, and entanglement-assisted zero-error capacities of quantum channels are generically zero and are discontinuous at every positivity point.

description: Modeling microstructure evolution in electrochemical systems is vital for understanding the mechanism of various electrochemical processes. In this work, we propose a general phase field framework that is fully variational and thus guarantees that the energy decreases upon evolution in an isothermal system. The bulk and interface free energies are decoupled using a grand potential formulation to enhance numerical efficiency. The variational definition of the overpotential is used, and the reaction kinetics is incorporated into the evolution equation for the phase field to correctly capture capillary effects and eliminate additional model parameter calibrations. A higher-order kinetic correction is derived to accurately reproduce general reaction models such as the Butler-Volmer, Marcus, and Marcus-Hush-Chidsey models. Electrostatic potentials in the electrode and the electrolyte are considered separately as independent variables, providing additional freedom to capture the interfacial potential jump. To handle realistic materials and processing parameters for practical applications, a driving force extension method is used to enhance the grid size by three orders of magnitude. Finally, we comprehensively verify our phase field model using classical electrochemical theory.

description: Bayesian networks (BNs) are graphical \emph{first-order} probabilistic models that allow for a compact representation of large probability distributions, and for efficient inference, both exact and approximate. We introduce a \emph{higher-order} programming language -- in the idealized form of a $λ$-calculus -- which we prove \emph{sound and complete} w.r.t. BNs: each BN can be encoded as a term, and conversely each (possibly higher-order and recursive) program of ground type \emph{compiles} into a BN. The language allows for the specification of recursive probability models and hierarchical structures. Moreover, we provide a \emph{compositional} and \emph{cost-aware} semantics which is based on factors, the standard mathematical tool used in Bayesian inference. Our results rely on advanced techniques rooted into linear logic, intersection types, rewriting theory, and Girard's geometry of interaction, which are here combined in a novel way.

title: Design of a photovoltaic system for a house in Pakistan and its open source ultra-low power data logger
Creators: name: Rehman, Asif Ur
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: This thesis presents an open-source, ultra-low powered data-logger for off-grid photovoltaic (PV) applications. An off-grid PV energy system is also designed for a rural house in Pakistan. The real-life power consumption data of this house is collected for the design and simulation purpose. The expected annual output energy of designed system is calculated by using Homer Pro software. Annual solar irradiance, average temperature and other environmental aspects are also considered for simulation of the designed system in Homer Pro. The data-logger is designed to log major parameters of designed PV energy system. Deep-sleep mode of ESP32-S2 microcontroller is used along with voltage, current, and light sensors for logging the data of PV system in an external micro SD card. Data-logger is programmed to operate in deep-sleep and web-portal monitoring modes and a manual or automatic switch is used to select these modes. Real-time PV data can be monitored in a local web-portal programmed in the microcontroller only by switching the toggle switch to on position. The same web-portal is also used to check and download the historical data of a PV system. The energy consumption of the designed system is 7.33mWh during deep-sleep mode and 425mWh during the web-portal monitoring mode. The total cost of the designed data-logger is approximately 30 CAD.

description: Mechanical metamaterials, whose unique mechanical properties stem from their structural design rather than material constituents, are gaining popularity in engineering applications. In particular, recent advances in self-assembly techniques offer the potential to fabricate load-bearing mechanical metamaterials with unparalleled feature size control and scalability compared to those produced by additive manufacturing (AM). Yet, the field is still in its early stages. In this perspective, we first provide an overview of the state-of-the-art self-assembly techniques, with a focus on the copolymer and colloid crystal self-assembly processes. We then discuss current challenges and future opportunities in this research area, focusing on novel fabrication approaches, the need for high-throughput characterization methods, and the integration of Machine Learning (ML) and lab automation for inverse design. Given recent progress in all these areas, we foresee mechanical metamaterials fabricated from self-assembly techniques impacting a variety of applications relying on lightweight, strong, and tough materials.

description: We reconstruct different f(R)-gravity models corresponding to the polytropic, standard Chaplygin, generalized Chaplygin, modified Chaplygin and modified variable Chaplygin gas dark energy models. We also obtain the equation of state parameters of the corresponding f(R)-gravity models which describe the accelerated expansion of the universe. We conclude that although the equation of state parameters of the obtained f(R)-gravities can behave like phantom or quintessence dark energy models, they cannot justify the transition from the quintessence state to the phantom regime. Furthermore, the polytropic and Chaplygin f(R)-gravity models in de Sitter space can satisfy the inflation condition.

description: We derive an expression for the accuracy with which sources can be localized using a network of gravitational wave detectors. The result is obtained via triangulation, using timing accuracies at each detector and is applicable to a network with any number of detectors. We use this result to investigate the ability of advanced gravitational wave detector networks to accurately localize signals from compact binary coalescences. We demonstrate that additional detectors can significantly improve localization results and illustrate our findings with networks comprised of the advanced LIGO, advanced Virgo and LCGT. In addition, we evaluate the benefits of relocating one of the advanced LIGO detectors to Australia.

From marine snails to marine spatial planning : the science of human impacts and relationships with marine ecosystems

description: Extractive human systems are driving unprecedented biodiversity loss and exacerbating social inequity. The magnitude of the intertwined climate, biodiversity, and social inequity crises has prompted the development of interdisciplinary research approaches to address these complex problems. One such approach, social-ecological systems (SES), aims to understand the relationships between coupled human and ecological systems. This thesis applies an SES lens to understand the science of human impacts on and relationships with marine ecosystems and inform characterizations of system vulnerability. First, I examined the sensitivity of marine ectothermic animals to climate change by conducting a meta-analysis of the effects of ocean acidification and warming. My synthesis of nearly five hundred factorial studies demonstrates the negative effects of these two drivers, identifies specific taxonomic groups (molluscs), life- history traits (adults, sessile), and latitudes (tropical and temperate) that are more sensitive, and refutes two common assumptions about the drivers’ interactive effects. Next, I tested whether populations of a marine snail vary in their vulnerability to ocean warming based on thermal sensitivity and local rates of ocean warming. Using coupled lab and field experiments with snails from two regions in the middle of their range that differ in thermal characteristics, I found that snails from the warmer Salish Sea, an urban sea, showed greater vulnerability to ocean warming than those from the cooler central coast of British Columbia, Canada. Finally, to inform how humans can mitigate our impacts while sustaining complex relationships with the ocean, I partnered with the Sḵwx̲wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) and regional stewardship organizations on a marine spatial planning project in the Salish Sea. I employed a mixed- methods community-based participatory mapping approach to characterize place-based values and outline opportunities to decolonize research and mapping processes. The results contribute important social data about place-based values, reveal value interactions, reflect knowledge system plurality, and identify avenues to advance reconciliation. Overall, this thesis highlights the vulnerability of marine life, particularly life within urban seas, to climate change and provides a roadmap for researchers and decision-makers to meaningfully steward the health and well-being of coastal social-ecological systems.

description: The Arts and Humanities are among the early adopters of computer technology. In the late 1940s, the linguist and Jesuit Father Roberto Busa S.J. convinced Thomas J Watson and IBM that the exploration of Thomas Aquinas' works could be more efficient using new digital methods. The index Thomisticus and the Corpus Thomisticum - a digital lemmatized collection of all works of Thomas Aquinas have gone through all phases of technological development - via punched cards, magnetic tapes and the WWW - and are still accessible today. Since then, a multitude of artifacts and resources have been digitized, so that by now although only a fraction of the entire cultural heritage is digitally available, a critical mass for the development of digital research methods nevertheless exists. The talk will show exemplary which strategies Digital Humanities use to generate, interlink and explore knowledge from historical sources.
