description: Several cellular automata (CA) models have been developed to simulate self-organization of multiple levels of structures. However, they do not obey microscopic reversibility and conservation laws. In this paper, we describe the construction of a reversible lattice molecular automata (RLMA) model, which simulates molecular interaction and self-organization of higher-order structures. The model's strict reversibility entails physically relevant conservation laws, and thus opens a way to precise application and validation of the methods from statistical physics in studying the necessary conditions for such multiple levels of self-organization.

description: We consider a complete sample of 101810 giants with Gaia DR2 parallaxes $\varpi$ within the red clump domain of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram in the space cylinder with a radius of 700 pc around the Sun and a height of $|Z|=1800$ pc. We use the Gaia DR2 $G_\mathrm{BP}$, $G_\mathrm{RP}$ and WISE $W3$ photometry. We describe the spatial variations of the modes of the observables $G_\mathrm{BP}-G_\mathrm{RP}$, $G_\mathrm{RP}-W3$, $G_\mathrm{BP}+5+5\,\log_{10}\varpi$, $G_\mathrm{RP}+5+5\,\log_{10}\varpi$, and $W3+5+5\,\log_{10}\varpi$ by extinction and reddening in combination with linear vertical gradients of the intrinsic colours and absolute magnitudes of the red giant clump. The derived clump median absolute magnitude in $W3$ agrees with its recent literature estimates. The clump median intrinsic colours and absolute magnitudes in $G_\mathrm{BP}$ and $G_\mathrm{RP}$ are derived for the first time at a precision level of 0.01 mag. We confirm the reliability of the derived clump absolute magnitudes, intrinsic colours, and their vertical gradients by comparing them with the theoretical predictions from PARSEC, MIST and BaSTI isochrones. This leads us to the median age and [Fe/H] of the clump within $|Z|<1.7$ kpc from the Galactic mid-plane as $(2.3\pm0.5)+(3.2\pm1.6)\,|Z|$ Gyr and $(-0.08\pm0.08)-(0.16\pm0.07)\,|Z|$ dex, respectively, where $Z$ is expressed in kpc. These results agree with recent empirical and theoretical estimates. Moreover, all the models give similar age-metallicity relations by use of our results in the optical range. The derived extinctions and reddenings across the whole dust half-layer below or above the Sun converge to the reddening $E(B-V)=0.06$ mag by use of the most reliable extinction laws.

description: Numerical and analytical results are presented for the maximal relative height distribution of stationary periodic Gaussian signals (one dimensional interfaces) displaying a 1/f^alpha power spectrum. For 01 (regime of strong correlations) and a highly accurate picture gallery of distribution functions can be constructed numerically. Analytical results can be obtained in the limit alpha -> infinity and, for large alpha, by perturbation expansion. Furthermore, using path integral techniques we derive a trace formula for the distribution function, valid for alpha=2n even integer. From the latter we extract the small argument asymptote of the distribution function whose analytic continuation to arbitrary alpha > 1 is found to be in agreement with simulations. Comparison of the extreme and roughness statistics of the interfaces reveals similarities in both the small and large argument asymptotes of the distribution functions.

description: We consider an extended Chaplygin gas equation of state which is driven from D-brane action and construct a cosmological model based on this equation of state. In this regard, we compute the scale factor of the model under a certain approximation. The conservation equation of this case is a non-linear differential equation which should solve using the special conditions. We also analyze the stability of the model by using sound speed as well as adiabatic index and discuss certain special cases of the model. We find special equation of state in this model which yields to dynamical and thermodynamical stability. Furthermore, we study the cosmological consequences of this model under certain conditions.

description: We consider elementary excitations of an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in the mean-field framework. As a building block for understanding the dynamics of systems comprising interaction and disorder, we study the scattering of Bogoliubov excitations by a single external impurity potential. A numerical integration of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation shows that the single-scattering amplitude has a marked angular anisotropy. By a saddle-point expansion of the hydrodynamic mean-field energy functional, we derive the relevant scattering amplitude including the crossover from sound-like to particle-like excitations. The very different scattering properties of these limiting cases are smoothly connected by an angular envelope function with a well-defined node of vanishing scattering amplitude. We find that the overall scattering is most efficient at the crossover from phonon-like to particle-like Bogoliubov excitations.

The traditional motivation for the study is that the absence of flavor singlets in the lowest-lying spectrum is a direct consequence of the color degree of freedom. (The calculation is tested with decuplet baryons Delta(1232) and Omega(1672).) We also analyze decay branching fractions of the flavor singlet baryon for various masses with the simplest effective Lagrangians.

"Cinema for where you live": spectatorship, subjectivity and space
Creators: name: Hicks, Nicola Emma
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Film theory's critical engagements with the spectator's relationships with the moving image have, over the last decade, reached something of a critical impasse. This impasse has crystallised around the inability of dominant psychoanalytic and ethnographic discourses to theorise "ways of seeing" and positions of desire that are neither completely hegemonic (structured by ideology) nor counter-hegemonic (fuelled by agency), but which fall into the space of contradiction and disjuncture that exists in-between their assumptions. In this thesis, I bring recent debates around subjectivity and geographical projects of "mapping the subject" to bear upon spectator ship. I explore the ways in which viewing spectatorship through this lens of space provides a critical language that interrogates the terrain of "in-betweenness" that marks spectatorship. I argue that, through its flexibility and inclusivity, a spatial approach to spectatorship allows us to theorise the notion of spectatorial hybridity, and conceive of alternative positions of desire in the cinema. In order to capture the multiple and mutable dynamics of spectatorship, this work contains two distinct but interrelated projects. First, it reveals and analyses the ways in which the language of space is already operative in film theory, uncovering the fabrics of spatiality that underlie existing theorisations of spectatorship. Second, it follows its own inquiry into the "spaces of spectatorship", measuring the validity of the project of "locating the spectator" against the real relations between played out between subjects, spaces and cinema in Vancouver.

Al aplicar elementos del micro-learning (micro-aprendizaje) en el desarrollo de las actividades, el EVA y sus recursos de aprendizaje han potenciado el uso de las redes sociales, la red universitaria, el acceso a Bases de Datos Remotas para la investigación y la Universidad Virtual de Salud desde la red Infomed.

Los profesores de la disciplina de inglés han diseñado actividades de micro-learning dentro de los cursos montados en el EVA que contribuyen a la formación profesional y promueven la competencia comunicativa del estudiante de Medicina apoyados en la metodología del Aula Invertida o Flipped Classroom.

Se definió como problema fundamental a resolver: el pobre diseño de actividades comunicativas motivantes en el EVA. A partir de un modelo educativo que promueve la competencia comunicativa en inglés y que resulta favorecido por el Aula Invertida se hizo un mayor uso de recursos disponibles en la red universitaria vinculándolo con actividades más interesantes y motivadoras para los estudiantes desde el punto de vista de la integración lingüística, tecnológica y profesional.

A través de la adecuación del proceso docente educativo a las nuevas exigencias del modelo de Aula Invertida y el intercambio con los educandos se pudo facilitar la adquisición de los conocimientos mediante la práctica en escenarios virtuales de integración, interacción y trabajo colaborativo en las redes.

Here, we suggest a photonic model system for a "time machine" based on the paraxial beam approximation. We demonstrate how the closed time-like curves and the well-known grandfather paradox can be studied experimentally in this system. We show how the Novikov's self-consistency principle is realized in quantum mechanics thanks to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

While the resulting theoretical predictions for the ionization energy are in moderate agreement with experimental values for $2^3S_1$, $2^3P$, and $2^1S_0$ states, they are in significant disagreement for the singlet state $2^1P_1$.

description: Atomic clocks can measure the gravitational redshift predicted by general relativity with great accuracy and for height differences as little as 1 cm. All existing experiments, however, involve the comparison of two independent clocks at different locations rather than a single clock in a delocalized quantum superposition. Here we present an interferometry scheme employing group-II-type atoms, such as Sr or Yb, capable of measuring the gravitational time dilation in a coherent superposition of atomic wave packets at two different heights. In contrast to other recent proposals, there is no need for pulses that can efficiently diffract both internal states. Instead, the scheme relies on very simple atom optics for which high-diffraction efficiencies can be achieved with rather mild requirements on laser power. Furthermore, the effects of vibration noise are subtracted by employing a simultaneous Rb interferometer that acts as an inertial reference. Remarkably, the recently commissioned VLBAI facility in Hannover, a 10-meter atomic fountain that can simultaneously operate Yb and Rb atoms and enables up to 2.8 s of free evolution time, meets all the requirements for a successful experimental implementation.

Asymmetric Tobit analysis for correlation estimation from censored data

description: Contamination of water resources with pathogenic microorganisms excreted in human feces is a worldwide public health concern. Surveillance of fecal contamination is commonly performed by routine monitoring for a single type or a few types of microorganism(s). To design a feasible routine for periodic monitoring and to control risks of exposure to pathogens, reliable statistical algorithms for inferring correlations between concentrations of microorganisms in water need to be established. Moreover, because pathogens are often present in low concentrations, some contaminations are likely to be under a detection limit. This yields a pairwise left-censored dataset and complicates computation of correlation coefficients. Errors of correlation estimation can be smaller if undetected values are imputed better. To obtain better imputations, we utilize side information and develop a new technique, the \emph{asymmetric Tobit model} which is an extension of the Tobit model so that domain knowledge can be exploited effectively when fitting the model to a censored dataset. The empirical results demonstrate that imputation with domain knowledge is effective for this task.

description: The trend toward fewer but larger farms continued during the turbulent 1970's and 1980's, but more slowly than during the previous two decades. Farm business returns and farm household income are comparable with their nonfarm counterparts. Farm households are wealthier than the average American household, but farm businesses are much smaller than businesses in other industries. The diversity of U.S. farming complicates a broader, more general description of the sector and of the well-being of farming households.

description: We observe the interesting magnetization and resistivity results in the orthorhombically distorted self doped manganite, La_{0.87}MnO_x. A significant irreversibility between zero-field-cooled and field-cooled resistivities as well as magnetization data is clearly observed up to a temperature which is well above the both paramagnetic to ferromagnetic (T_c) and metal to insulator transition (T_{MI}) temperatures. In the ferromagnetically ordered and metallic states the magnetotransport results suggest the influence of domain wall dynamics. Interesting scenario of memory effects through the domain wall dynamics is strikingly observed in the relaxation of resistivity in a limited temperature region. The characteristic features of magnetotransport behaviour are suggested duo to the co-existence of structurally driven inhomogeneous phase separation and domain wall dynamics.

description: This experiment investigates the effect of high voltage plasma generated at a single slit on the interference pattern of a laser beam. Using a 532nm class 3 laser we directed it to a slit connected to a high-voltage power supply of 3K Volts creating a plasma discharge at the slit. The interference patterns were recorded and analyzed both with and without the plasma present. The results indicated a very slight deflection in the intensity of fringes when plasma was introduced. This tells us that the presence of ionized gas alters the refractive index in the region of the slit. This may be due to the fact that plasma might be inducing oscillations or disturbances within the laser’s interaction zone. The findings provide insight into the interaction between plasma and when light is diffracting.

description: The general context of this paper is the study of magnetic fields in the pre-main sequence intermediate mass Herbig Ae/Be stars. Magnetic fields are likely to play an important role in pre-main sequence evolution at these masses, in particular in controlling the gains and losses of stellar angular momentum. The particular aim of this paper is to announce the detection of a structured magnetic field in the Herbig Ae star HD 190073, and to discuss various scenarii for the geometry of the star, its environment and its magnetic field. We have used the ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeter at CFHT in 2005 and 2006 to obtain high-resolution and signal-to-noise circular polarization spectra which demonstrate unambiguously the presence of a magnetic field in the photosphere of this star. Nine circular polarization spectra were obtained, each one showing a clear Zeeman signature. This signature is suggestive of a magnetic field structured on large scales. The signature, which corresponds to a longitudinal magnetic field of 74+- 10 G, does not vary detectably on a one-year timeframe, indicating either an azimuthally symmetric field, a zero inclination angle between the rotation axis and the line of sight, or a very long rotation period. The optical spectrum of HD 190073 exhibits a large number of emission lines. We discuss the formation of these emission lines in the framework of a model involving a turbulent heated region at the base of the stellar wind, possibly powered by magnetic accretion. This magnetic detection brings an important element for our understanding of stellar magnetism at intermediate masses.

title: INTEGRATING CLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITY INTO LAND USE PLANNING IN NIGERIA
Creators: name: Aderiye, AA
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2525

description: Despite abundant research evidence and various international agreements signed by Nigeria, it is surprising that climate change does not feature prominently in her developmental agenda or policies. Rather than become engrossed in the debate between mitigation and adaptation of climate change, this study explores the suitability of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as a channel for integrating vulnerability concerns into Land Use Planning (LUP). In the absence of a clear Nigerian strategy, the research investigates the potentials of the current planning context to address climate change by examining the prevailing practice and exploring the perceptions of climate change amongst planning regulators. A convergent mixed research method was employed, where quantitative and qualitative data were collected concurrently and independent of one another. The data obtained using paper-questionnaires and semi-structured interviews was given equal priority, analysed separately and then merged together at interpretation. The mixing allows a comparison which shows the extent to which the two data sets agree, diverge or combine to provide a clearer insight of the research objectives. Findings suggest that Nigeria’s planning activities are influenced by political administrative interests, community-dependent attributes and built environment preferences. Furthermore, there is an awareness that climate change is happening in Nigeria and has dire consequences, but the perspective is that there are more pressing problems than climate change. Recognising the potential contributions of Strategic Environmental Assessment in overcoming the limitations of the current planning system, a non-EIA-based version was used to develop a framework streamlining vulnerability consideration into land-use planning practice.
THE “FUTILITY THESIS” AND THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH OF ELITE RULE

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: 160609 Political Theory and Political Philosophy

description: Elite rule has been dominant throughout much of the history of human civilization. It has survived numerous trials and tribulations. Many elites that have been prominent in the past have disappeared, but elite rule has survived as new elites have emerged to take place of the old. This remarkable endurance of elite rule against all adversities has given rise to the so-called “futility thesis”—a conviction that elite rule is inescapable and that all hopes to create a democracy based on equality and universal inclusion and empowerment is but a forlorn dream. This article disputes the “futility thesis.” This thesis leads to an inevitable conclusion that exclusion cannot be eliminated. The article argues that the elimination of exclusion is not only possible but that it is necessary for sustaining our civilization. The fact that the demand for inclusion is prominent in the current political turmoil indicates that there is a growing realization of the need to end exclusion. In developing its thesis, the article addresses several problems that elite theory has failed to resolve, such as the relationship between elites and power, the origin of elites, and “elite circulation.” It argues that the disappearance of elites will not diminish society’s access to knowledge, skills, and expertise. On the contrary, inclusionary practices will only enhance this access. Finally, the article outlines new inclusionary practices in knowledge production, management, and leadership. @font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; mso-font-alt:"Times New Roman"; mso-font-charset:77; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-format:other; mso-font-pitch:auto; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;}div.Section1 {page:Section1;}
title: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Azerbaijan
Creators: name: Babayev, Ramiz
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: An EIA is an internationally recognized decision-making support instrument applied in around 200 countries. Like in many countries, the EIA is applied in Azerbaijan as a tool for assessing and managing the impacts arising from development projects. Empirical studies are available from different countries on the performance of the instrument, however, in Azerbaijan, there is a dearth of research studies and no genuine attempt has been made to investigate the performance of the EIA instrument in order to understand whether it achieves its benefits. Thus, the primary aim of this study was to explore whether the EIA Practice in Azerbaijan results in its perceived benefits, and the role that the quality of environmental impact assessment reports as well as other country specific factors, play in this matter. The qualitative interviews were carried out with EIA stakeholders in Azerbaijan. Additionally, the quality of 30 EIA reports in the country has been reviewed by using the adapted Lee & Colley (1992) package. The findings of the study indicated that the quality of EIA reports prepared in Azerbaijan is “just satisfactory”. Interviews conducted with the EIA stakeholders involved in the processes of those reviewed EIA reports in Azerbaijan revealed that the EIA was viewed as a decision-making support instrument, which in practice leads to certain benefits, such as better-informed decision-making, project modification, raising environmental awareness about the projects. The study results also showed that despite the quality of EIA reports instrument was able to achieve its perceived benefits in the country.
title: Social Impact Assessment: Social Acceptance for Onshore Windfarms in England
Creators: name: Muthoora, T
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2018

description: Over the last five years, England has seen a decline in the number of onshore wind applications gaining planning permission. This research investigates the key reasons renewable energy policy is stifled in the local planning system and the threat this poses to the country’s ability to tackle climate change. The research aims to show how Social Impact Assessment as part of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), could support the successful siting of onshore wind farms. Directed content analysis, examines the activities of wind developers, central government, local planning authorities, anti-wind campaigners and community energy cooperatives. The content analysis is supported using surveys and face-to-face interview with developers, action groups and community energy cooperatives. The research finds SIA is not a statutory obligation in England, yet many of its activities and processes employed by stakeholders. However, without recognition of the outcomes of SIA activity in EIA, benefits of onshore windfarm proposals are not considered in the weighting of the planning balance. The impact means local people participating in community energy projects are disempowered by the planning system to the disservice of local democracy.

description: We investigate a field theoretical approach to the Jordan-Brans- Dicke (JBD) theory extended with a particular potential term on a cosmological background by starting with the motivation that the Higgs field and the scale factor of the universe are related. Based on this relation, it is possible to come up with mathematically equivalent but two different interpretations. From one point of view while the universe is static, the masses of the elementary particles change with time. The other one, which we stick with throughout the manuscript, is that while the universe is expanding, particle masses are constant. Thus, a coupled Lagrangian density of the JBD field and the scale factor (the Higgs field), which exhibit a massive particle and a linearly expanding space in zeroth order respectively, is obtained. By performing a coordinate transformation in the field space for the reduced JBD action whose kinetic part is nonlinear sigma model, the Lagrangian of two scalar fields can be written as uncoupled for the Higgs mechanism. After this transformation, as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking, the time dependent vacuum expectation value (vev) of the Higgs field and the Higgs bosons which are the particles corresponding to quantized oscillation modes about the vacuum, are found.

description: The correlation energy in density functional theory can be expressed exactly in terms of the change in the probability of finding two electrons at a given distance $r_{12}$ (intracule density) when the electron-electron interaction is multiplied by a real parameter $λ$ varying between 0 (Kohn-Sham system) and 1 (physical system). In this process, usually called adiabatic connection, the one-electron density is (ideally) kept fixed by a suitable local one-body potential. While an accurate intracule density of the physical system can only be obtained from expensive wavefunction-based calculations, being able to construct good models starting from Kohn-Sham ingredients would highly improve the accuracy of density functional calculations. To this purpose, we investigate the intracule density in the $λ\to\infty$ limit of the adiabatic connection. This strong-interaction limit of density functional theory turns out to be, like the opposite non-interacting Kohn-Sham limit, mathematically simple and can be entirely constructed from the knowledge of the one-electron density. We develop here the theoretical framework and, using accurate correlated one-electron densities, we calculate the intracule densities in the strong interaction limit for few atoms. Comparison of our results with the corresponding Kohn-Sham and physical quantities provides useful hints for building approximate intracule densities along the adiabatic connection of density functional theory.

A Double Parton Scattering Background to Associate $WH$ and $ZH$ Production at the LHC

description: Higgs boson production in association with $W$ and $Z$ bosons at high luminosity CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC,$\sqrt{s}$=14 TeV), is one of the most promising discovery channel for a SM Higgs particle with a mass below 135 GeV, where the Higgs decays into $b\bar{b}$ final states is dominant. The experimental capability of recognizing the presence of $b$ quarks in a complex hadronic final state has brought attention towards the final states with pairs for observing the production of the Higgs at the LHC. We point out that double parton scattering processes are going to represent a sizable background to the process.

description: After a century of relative stability of the electricity industry, extensive deployment of distributed energy resources and recent advances in computation and communication technologies have changed the nature of how we consume, trade, and apply energy. The power system is facing a transition from its traditional hierarchical structure to a more deregulated model by introducing new energy distribution models such as peer-to-peer sharing for connected communities. The proven effectiveness of P2P sharing in benefiting both prosumers and the grid has been demonstrated in many studies and pilot projects. However, there is still no extensive implementation of such sharing models in today's electricity markets. This paper aims to shed some light on this gap through a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the P2P energy system and an insightful discussion of the challenges that need to be addressed in order to establish P2P sharing as a viable energy management option in today's electricity market. To this end, in this article, we provide some background on different aspects of P2P sharing. Then, we discuss advances in P2P sharing through a systematic domain-based classification. We also review different pilot projects on P2P sharing across the globe. Finally, we identify and discuss a number of challenges that need to be addressed for scaling up P2P sharing in the electricity market followed by concluding remarks at the end of the paper.

Intranet development in large organizations: a case study using EDI analysis tools
Creators: name: Oram, John Wesley Isaac
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Several years ago, the media discovered the Internet. This 'Internet explosion' exposed the non-initiated to a worldwide computer network. Forged by the fear of the nuclear fulfilment of the Cold War, this network had for over twenty years been the domain of academia, precocious computer firms, the government and the military. As the resulting technology continued to develop and thrive, the business community, attracted by the prospect of open systems and low costs, began to investigate the feasibility of applying Internet tools for internal information system and distribution needs. The concept of such 'intranets' has grown increasingly pervasive and persuasive, especially when their costs and development time are compared to equivalent proprietary systems. This paper examines some of the technological, economic and organizational considerations involved with intranet development. This author undertook a feasibility study in several departments of a large company in an attempt to identify the factors. A methodology originally developed for electronic data interchange (EDI) was used to help analyze the results. This analysis indicates the Company is ill-prepared to take advantage of intranet technology. However, the recent maturation of Java and the network computer paradigm (the former allowing applications to run on any platform without recompilation and the latter greatly reducing the administrative costs of bringing computing power to the desktop) may provide the Company with a relatively inexpensive method of leveraging the benefits of an intranet.

Magnetic spin excitations in diluted ferromagnetic systems: the case of $Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As$

description: We propose a theory which allow to calculate the magnetic excitation spectrum in diluted ferromagnetic systems. The approach is rather general and based on the Self-Consistent local Random Phase Approximation in which disorder (dilution) and thermal fluctuations are properly treated. To illustrate its reliability and accuracy we calculate the magnetic excitation in the diluted III-V magnetic semiconductor $Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As$. It is shown that dilution has a drastic effect on the excitation spectrum, indeed well defined magnon excitations exist only in a small region of the Brillouin zone centered around the $Γ$ point. We also calculate the spin stiffness in optimally annealed sample as a function of $Mn^{2+}$ concentration. A comparison to available measurements is done. We find a very good agreement for both the Curie temperature and the spin stiffness measured in well annealed samples and provide a plausible explanation for the very small values measured in as grown samples.

description: Discovery and recognition of Group Activities (GA) based on imagery data processing have significant applications in persistent surveillance systems, which play an important role in some Internet services. The process is involved with analysis of sequential imagery data with spatiotemporal associations. Discretion of video imagery requires a proper inference system capable of discriminating and differentiating cohesive observations and interlinking them to known ontologies. We propose an Ontology based GAR with a proper inference model that is capable of identifying and classifying a sequence of events in group activities. A multi-layered Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is proposed to recognize different levels of abstract GA. The multi-layered HMM consists of N layers of HMMs where each layer comprises of M number of HMMs running in parallel. The number of layers depends on the order of information to be extracted. At each layer, by matching and correlating attributes of detected group events, the model attempts to associate sensory observations to known ontology perceptions. This paper demonstrates and compares performance of three different implementation of HMM, namely, concatenated N-HMM, cascaded C-HMM and hybrid H-HMM for building effective multi-layered HMM.
