description: The supplementation of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes can be used to enhance the performance of biogas production in industrial biogas plants. Since the structural stability of these enzyme preparations is essential for efficient application, reliable methods for the assessment of enzyme stability are crucial. Here, a mass-spectrometric-based assay was established to monitor the structural stability of enzymes, i.e., the structural integrity of these proteins, in anaerobic digestion (AD). The analysis of extracts of Lentinula edodes revealed the rapid degradation of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes, with an approximate half-life of 1.5 h. The observed low structural stability of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes in AD corresponded with previous results obtained for biogas content. The established workflow can be easily adapted for the monitoring of other enzyme formulations and provides a platform for evaluating the effects of enzyme additions in AD, together with a characterization of the biochemical methane potential used in order to determine the biodegradability of organic substrates.

description: We conjecture that weak interactions are peculiar manifestations of quantum gravity at the Fermi scale, and that the Fermi constant is related to the Newtonian constant of gravitation.In this framework one may understand the violations of fundamental symmetries by the weak interactions, in particular parity violations, as due to fluctuations of the spacetime geometry at a Planck scale coinciding with the Fermi scale. As a consequence, gravitational phenomena should play a more important role in the microworld, and experimental settings are suggested to test this hypothesis.

description: In object-oriented programming, unique permissions to object references are useful for checking correctness properties such as consistency of typestate and noninterference of concurrency. To be usable, unique permissions must be borrowed — for example, one must be able to read a unique reference out of a field, use it for something, and put it back. While one can null out the field and later reassign it, this paradigm is ungainly and requires unnecessary writes, potentially hurting cache performance. Therefore, in practice borrowing must occur in the type system, without requiring memory updates. Previous systems support borrowing with external alias analysis and/or explicit programmer management of fractional permissions. While these approaches are powerful, they are also awkward and difficult for programmers to understand. We present an integrated language and type system with unique, immutable, and shared permissions, together with new local permissions that say that a reference may not be stored to the heap. Our system also includes change permissions such as unique>>unique and unique>>none that describe how permissions flow in and out of method formal parameters. Together, these features support common patterns of borrowing, including borrowing multiple local permissions from a unique reference and recovering the unique reference when the local permissions go out of scope, without any explicit management of fractions in the source language. All accounting of fractional permissions is done by the type system “under the hood.” We present the syntax and static and dynamic semantics of a formal core language and prove soundness results. We also illustrate the utility and practicality of our design by using it to express several realistic examples.
Staying, Moving, and Vocational Training: Explaining the career wage mobility of low-end service workers in the U.S. and W. Germany
Creators: name: Schultz, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Do strong vocational training systems lead to higher wages for low-end service workers over their careers? Low-wage work is growing in the advanced capitalist countries raising the question of how differences in vocational training systems affect wage mobility. Previous studies of wage mobility for low-wage workers rarely account for the influence of detailed occupations or country-level institutions. I address these weaknesses by analyzing the career wage mobility of workers in seven low-end service occupations in the U.S. and West Germany. I find that workers entering these occupations in both countries have similarly low rates of wage growth. The primary route to upward mobility in both countries is by moving occupations. Occupational mobility is lower in Germany likely due to barriers created by the strong vocational training system. This results in lower odds for upward mobility in Germany than in the U.S. for workers in the same low-end service occupation.

description: In recent years there has been much effort to make desktop computers more accessible to people with motor impairments. However, computing today increasingly takes place off the desktop on small handheld devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and mobile phones. But little attention has been paid to making these devices accessible, particularly to those who have motor impairments such as tremor or spasm. To address this, we have developed a new text entry method for PDAs and mobile phones called EdgeWrite, which provides physical stability to people entering text on a Palm PDA. Our studies show that EdgeWrite is significantly more accurate than the built-in method Graffiti for people both with and without motor impairments. We have also adapted the EdgeWrite design to common input devices for desktop computer access, thus lowering the cost for adequate computer access in the workplace.

description: We develop a flexible framework for modeling high-dimensional imaging data observed longitudinally. The approach decomposes the observed variability of repeatedly measured high-dimensional observations into three additive components: a subject-specific imaging random intercept that quantifies the cross-sectional variability, a subject-specific imaging slope that quantifies the dynamic irreversible deformation over multiple realizations, and a subject-visit-specific imaging deviation that quantifies exchangeable effects between visits. The proposed method is very fast, scalable to studies including ultrahigh-dimensional data, and can easily be adapted to and executed on modest computing infrastructures. The method is applied to the longitudinal analysis of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data of the corpus callosum of multiple sclerosis (MS) subjects. The study includes $176$ subjects observed at $466$ visits. For each subject and visit the study contains a registered DTI scan of the corpus callosum at roughly 30,000 voxels.

description: This article intends to provide a concise overview, from an observational point-of-view, of the current state of our knowledge of the most relevant properties of the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster (MWNSC). The MWNSC appears to be a typical specimen of nuclear star clusters, which are found at the centers of the majority of all types of galaxies. Nuclear clusters represent the densest and most massive stellar systems in the present-day Universe and frequently coexist with central massive black holes. They are therefore of prime interest for studying stellar dynamics and the MWNSC is the only one that allows us to obtain data on milli-parsec scales. After discussing the main observational constraints, we start with a description of the overall structure and kinematics of the MWNSC, then focus on a comparison to extragalactic systems, summarize the properties of the young, massive stars in the immediate environment of the Milky Way's central black hole, Sagittarius\,A*, and finally focus on the dynamics of stars orbiting the black hole at distances of a few to a few tens of milli parsecs.

description: Word alignment models form an important part of building statistical machine translation systems. Semi-supervised word alignment aims to improve the accuracy of automatic word alignment by incorporating full or partial alignments acquired from humans. Such dedicated elicitation effort is often expensive and depends on availability of bilingual speakers for the language-pair. In this paper we study active learning query strategies to carefully identify highly uncertain or most informative alignment links that are proposed under an unsupervised word alignment model. Manual correction of such informative links can then be applied to create a labeled dataset used by a semi-supervised word alignment model. Our experiments show that using active learning leads to maximal reduction of alignment error rates with reduced human effort.

description: The exploration problem is a central issue in mobile robotics. A complete coverage is not practical if the environment is large with a few small hotspots, and the sampling cost is high. So, it is desirable to build robot teams that can coordinate to maximize sampling at these hotspots while minimizing resource costs, and consequently learn more accurately about properties of such environmental phenomena. An important issue in designing such teams is the exploration strategy. The contribution of this paper is in the evaluation of an adaptive exploration strategy called Adaptive Cluster Sampling (ACS), which is demonstrated to reduce the resource costs (i.e., mission time and energy consumption) of a robot team, and yield more information about the environment by directing robot exploration towards hotspots. Due to the adaptive nature of the strategy, it is not obvious how the sampled data can be used to provide unbiased, low-variance estimates of the properties. This paper therefore discusses how estimators that are Rao-Blackwellized can be used to achieve low error. This paper also presents the first analysis of the characteristics of the environmental phenomena that favor the ACS strategy and estimators. Quantitative experimental results in a mineral prospecting task simulation show that our approach is more efficient in exploration by yielding more minerals and information with fewer resources and providing more precise mineral density estimates than previous methods.

description: We study the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) for the slow fading interference channel with a relay (ICR). We derive four inner bounds on the DMT region: the first is based on the compress-and-forward (CF) relaying scheme, the second is based on the decode-and-forward (DF) relaying scheme, and the last two bounds are based on the half-duplex (HD) and full-duplex (FD) amplify-and-forward (AF) schemes. For the CF and DF schemes, we find conditions on the channel parameters and the multiplexing gains, under which the corresponding inner bound achieves the optimal DMT region. We also identify cases in which the DMT region of the ICR corresponds to that of two parallel slow fading relay channels, implying that interference does not decrease the DMT for each pair, and that a single relay can be DMT-optimal for two pairs simultaneously. For the HD-AF scheme we derive conditions on the channel coefficients under which the proposed scheme achieves the optimal DMT for the AF-based relay channel. Lastly, we identify conditions under which adding a relay strictly enlarges the DMT region relative to the interference channel without a relay.

title: Academic Buoyancy: First-Year A-Level Students’ and Tutors’ Experiences and Perceptions
Creators: name: Crossley, Sarah Joanne
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2024

description: An extensive body of literature considers the concept of academic achievement/ underachievement, high-stakes testing, and a variety of subject-domain-specific research into GCE A-Level qualifications. Less prominent in the literature is a focus on studying A-Levels from the viewpoint of A-Level students themselves, their ‘everyday’ experiences of studying the qualifications, the influences that shape their perspectives of achievement and success during A-Level study, or the factors that they perceive to affect or improve it. This focus on the ‘everyday’ ups and downs that form an inevitable part of academic life and how students successfully handle them is also a growing area of research, termed academic buoyancy (Martin & Marsh, 2009), and identified as a concept that is related to, but distinct from, other areas of research including academic achievement, ‘high-stakes’ qualifications, academic self-concept, character education, and resilience.
This thesis presents an exploratory study into the concept of academic buoyancy in an A-Level context, focusing in particular on the perspectives and experiences of students who have transitioned from school and GCSE into their first year of A-Level studies at an FE college, along with the perspectives and experiences of A-Level tutors who teach or have taught first-year A-Level students.
This explorative qualitative study, heavily influenced by phenomenology, takes an inductive approach with the assistance of 10 first-year A-Level students and 8 A-Level tutors involved in 4 focus groups. The data has been analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, underpinned by aspects of narrative analysis, with emergent themes exploring participant perspectives and attempting to capture the authentic voice of the participants.
The main findings to emerge from the data was a sense of ‘external’ and ‘internal’ factors shaping participants’ academic buoyancy: societal and external expectations and perceptions; the high stakes A-Level environment and the first year as a time of transition; participants’ own actions, expectations and perceptions; and the dialogue/interactions they have with themselves and others.
Whilst these factors possessed distinct components, how participants communicated their experiences presented these components as intrinsically and inextricably linked.
Their experiences tended to be conveyed in an ‘overarching’ narrative - conceptualised in this research as a ‘quest’ (Booker, 2004), in which A-Level students’ academic buoyancy is simultaneously both a quantitative, publicly high-profile experience, and also a less tangible, intensely individual, emotional and reflective developmental journey.

Cubature formulas, which correspond to these families of polynomials and which stem from the developed discrete cosine transforms, are derived. Examples of three-dimensional interpolation formulas and three-dimensional explicit forms of the polynomials are presented.

description: The music of Keith Jarrett reveals an artist deeply invested in the experience of each moment, a pursuit guiding his perception, improvisational decisions, and the construction of his performance environment. Jarrett has discussed how he conceives his improvisational practices, breaking down complex simultaneous processes into personae with distinct, but interrelated, functions. Jarrett’s descriptions of these personae and their individual and cooperative responsibilities suggest a clear link between his creative process and the autotelic experience described by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi’s flow theory. In examining Jarrett’s work through this lens, it is possible to observe the synthesis of his improvisational methodologies and philosophies as they developed over his career. Building on the research of Csíkszentmihályi and Elina Hytönen-Ng, this study probes the role of flow in performance and the work that flow theory can accomplish when utilized in jazz studies, improvisation studies and more broadly in performance studies.

We give polynomial time solutions to many important special cases of this problem including semiorders, reachability orders of bounded-treewidth graphs, partial orders of bounded width, and series-parallel partial orders. Our result for series-parallel orders provides a significant generalization of a previous result of Carlson and Eppstein on bicriterion subtree problems.

A new approach for the prediction of fatigue life in rolling bearings based on damage accumulation theory considering residual stresses

description: Today, the service life calculation of rolling bearings is standardized in ISO 281, based on the theory of Lundberg and Palmgren. In the standard calculation method, material properties such as fatigue limit stress were taken into account by introducing the fatigue limit stress proposed by Ioannides and Harris. This standard calculation method provides a reasonable range of fatigue life in good agreement with experimental results under ideal test conditions such as constant external load. However, complex operating conditions of bearings such as varying loads and oscillating motion are not considered. Therefore, there is a need for a new analytical calculation model that can predict the fatigue life of rolling bearings operating under these complex conditions. This makes it possible to advance the application of rolling bearings and optimize their use in machines such as wind turbines. In the proposed approach, the fatigue life is determined based on the Palmgren-Miner linear damage rule, evaluating the subsurface stresses below the rolling contact using the S-N curve according to the fatigue criterion proposed by Lundberg and Palmgren. All rolling contacts that occur in an internal stress cycle due to the internal dynamic behavior during rotating operations are evaluated individually and referred to as partial damage risks. The partial damage risks are accumulated linearly according to the Palmgren-Miner theory to obtain the load cycle to failure. At this time, the loaded volume is assessed along the depth from the contact area to the core of the bearing ring, which makes it possible to indicate the depth position of fatigue occurrence in terms of crack initiation. The material properties such as the fatigue limit stress and the probability of failure are taken from the S-N curve itself. To consider the residual stress, a simple link concept is suggested by using the ratio of the maximum contact pressure to the yield criteria. The proposed approach can be extended to calculate oscillating fatigue life regarding the number of rolling contacts at a given oscillation amplitude. In this study, it can be confirmed that the analytically determined fatigue lifetime according to ISO 281 is still close to the bearing life test result. In addition, it shows that the results obtained using the proposed approach agree well with the calculation results obtained using ISO 281.

description: This paper describes an adaptive fuzzy throttle control for an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) powered by an internal combustion engine. The design objective is to provide smooth throttle movement and zero steady-state speed error, and to maintain a selected vehicle speed over varying road slopes for a 2MPH to 30MPH speed range. Using experience and data collected from extensive experiments conducted on the ATV throttle mechanism, an adaptive fuzzy throttle control algorithm is designed. A candidate Lyapunov function is employed in the adaptive law synthesis to ensure convergence. Experimental results are presented showing the effectiveness of the control algorithm at speeds below 2.74MPH (1.2m/s).
Use process analysis to assess predicted ozone formation in the United Arab Emirates
Creators: name: Xu, Yadong
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

description: We used the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model simulation to study ozone formation in the United Arab Emirates. Model performance evaluation results indicate severe over-prediction of O3 and under-prediction of NO2 especially in the Abu Dhabi urban region with a normalized mean bias (NMB) for O3 at 179% and NO2 at -64% at urban monitoring site KHAF. We used the process analysis tools together with a postprocessor tool pyPA to investigate the possible factors causing the poor performance and assess potential major contributors to high ozone episodes in the model. The results indicate that the local photochemical production and advection processes were the main contributors to surface ozone in the UAE. We conducted two sensitivity runs in which NOx emissions are increased to understand model responses to different emission scenarios. Compared with the original model simulation, increasing the anthropogenic NOx emission rates by a factor of 6 in the Abu Dhabi urban region (the sensitivity run s2) caused significant predicted O3 decrease by up to 80 ppb. The system switched from NOx-limited condition in the original model run to NOx-inhibited condition in the sensitivity run s2.

description: The application of microdimple-textured surfaces for rolling bearings is not very common but can be beneficial for various usage scenarios. In contrast to the applications for plain bearings or cylinder running surfaces, however, surface patterns for rolling bearings only offer advantages under certain conditions. For example, for use with start-stop cycles, in mixed lubrication conditions, or under sliding conditions in a bearing as well as on a roller—bearing flange contact, friction can be reduced with the targeted use of microtextures. The geometry of the microtextures must be chosen so that individual dimples fit in the contact area between the ball or roll and the bearing surface in order to act as a reservoir for the lubricant. First applications for microtextured angular contact ball bearings under oscillating movement conditions proved friction reducing effects under reciprocating motion. In this case the microtextures served as lubricant reservoirs. The idea is transferred to the sliding contact for tapered roller bearings; it is investigated whether the measured reductions in friction are due to the microtextures serving as lubricant reservoirs or whether there is even a positive hydrodynamic effect caused by the microtextures. By means of a calculation approach as well as some exemplary test rig measurements, the behavior for microtextured tapered roller bearings is investigated.

High-energy density implications of a gravitoweak unification scenario

description: We discuss how a scenario recently proposed for the morphing of macroscopic gravitation into weak interactions at the attometer scale affects our current understanding of high-energy density phenomena. We find that the Yukawa couplings of the fundamental fermions are directly related to their event horizons, setting an upper bound $y_f\leq \sqrt{2}$ for their observability through gauge interactions. Particles with larger Yukawa couplings are not precluded, but should interact only gravitationally, providing a natural candidate for dark matter. Furthermore, the quantum vacuum contribution to the cosmological constant is reduced by several orders of magnitude with respect to the current estimates. The expected running of the Newtonian gravitational constant could provide a viable alternative scenario to the inflationary stage of the Universe.
Second-Order Assessment of Scientific Expert Claims and Sharing Epistemic Burdens in Science Communication

description: When laypersons are presented with scientific information which seeks to modify their way of life, they are expected to believe, suspend belief, or reject it. Second-order assessment of scientific experts helps laypersons to make an informed decision in such situations. This is an assessment of the trustworthiness of the person making the scientific claim. In this paper I challenge the optimistic view of Anderson (2011), regarding the ease with which laypersons can perform second-order assessment of experts, by pointing out some of the obstacles that may prevent laypersons from arriving at an informed decision through this means. By showing that laypersons cannot easily perform second-order assessment of experts, I make a case for sharing epistemic burdens in science communication by using Lackey's (2006) concept of dualism in the epistemology of testimony and Irzik and Kurtulmus’ (2019) work on public epistemic trust in science, as a guide. I invite experts to bear a greater share of the epistemic burden when communicating with laypersons because of their privileged epistemic condition vis-à-vis laypersons.

description: New forms of organizing (NFOs) such as crowds and communities are increasingly relevant as novel collaboration partners for organizations. Although the motivations and goals that prompt organizations to collaborate (the why) have not changed over time, the way they collaborate (the how) seems to have changed significantly. Surprisingly, research to theorize these new forms of collaboration is still sparse. This conceptual paper investigates the extent to which a widely established theoretical framework—the relational view—can capture this new and mostly undertheorized setting of firm–NFO collaborations. More precisely, we ask whether and how the relational view also applies to this new context of interaction between firms and NFOs. Adopting the relational view’s four determinants as a framework, we systematically analyse and disentangle firms’ collaborations with NFOs. We ground this investigation in two analytical dimensions, the degree of NFO self-organizing and the degree of firm-relatedness. They enable us to exemplify the variety of new forms of collaboration and, most important, to delineate clear differences between firm–NFO collaboration and traditional interorganizational collaboration. We stress the boundaries of the relational view, suggest expanding its scope to capture the variety of firm–NFO collaborations, and propose ways of doing so.
