description: In a Riemannian manifold, it is well known that the scalar curvature at a point can be recovered from the volumes (areas) of small geodesic balls (spheres). We show the scalar curvature is likewise determined by the relative capacities of concentric small geodesic balls. This result has motivation from general relativity (as a complement to a previous study by the author of the capacity of large balls in an asymptotically flat manifold) and from weak definitions of nonnegative scalar curvature. It also motivates a conjecture (inspired by the famous volume conjecture of Gray and Vanhecke), regarding whether Euclidean-like behavior of the relative capacity on the small scale is sufficient to characterize a space as flat.

description: We present K-band polarimetric images of several massive young stellar objects at resolutions $\sim$ 0.1-0.5 arcsec. The polarization vectors around these sources are nearly centro-symmetric, indicating they are dominating the illumination of each field. Three out of the four sources show elongated low-polarization structures passing through the centers, suggesting the presence of polarization disks. These structures and their surrounding reflection nebulae make up bipolar outflow/disk systems, supporting the collapse/accretion scenario as their low-mass siblings. In particular, S140 IRS1 show well defined outflow cavity walls and a polarization disk which matches the direction of previously observed equatorial disk wind, thus confirming the polarization disk is actually the circumstellar disk. To date, a dozen massive protostellar objects show evidence for the existence of disks; our work add additional samples around MYSOs equivalent to early B-type stars.

Position and force trajectory programming within a virtual excavation environment
Creators: name: DiMaio, Simon P.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A means of automatically reproducing operator demonstrated excavation trajectories has been developed for the automation of repetitive digging tasks and the teleoperation of remote machines. The dynamic adjustment of backhoe end-effector impedance, according to a variable impedance-control strategy, has been proposed for this purpose. This strategy matches machine end-point and environment impedances by means of a new, generalised duality principle which enables simultaneous position and force control over varying environment characteristics, by observing a specified compromise between position and force trajectory errors. A virtual excavation environment has been designed and implemented to provide an inexpensive, safe, flexible, yet realistic platform for the development and evaluation of such automation and control strategies. The simulator comprises a mechanical impedance model of the excavator manipulator, a model for the synthesis of bucket-ground interaction forces, as well as graphical and haptic interfaces for both visual and force feedback. Experimental results show that task demonstration and playback within a virtual excavation environment results in appropriate trajectory tracking throughout a digging motion which encounters environment impedances ranging from free motion to hard contact.

description: We study SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature in the framework of the functional renormalization group. We concentrate on the effective potential for the Polyakov loop which serves as an order parameter for confinement. In this first status report, we focus on the behaviour of the effective Polyakov-loop potential at high temperatures. In addition to the standard perturbative result, our findings provide information about the ``RG improved'' backreactions of Polyakov-loop fluctuations on the potential. We demonstrate that these fluctuations establish the convexity of the effective potential.

description: Ο στόχος αυτής της εργασίας είναι να γίνει μια προσπάθεια κατανόησης του τρόπου με τον οποίο η πιραντελλική τριλογία στάθηκε ένας από τους προδρόμους της αποδόμησης που συντελέστηκε στον χώρο του θεάτρου ακόμη και σε θεωρητικό επίπεδο και κατά πόσο τελικά είναι κοντά στον μεταμοντερνισμό η τριλογία του μεταθεάτρου. Ύστερα από μια εισαγωγή για την εποχή που γράφεται η τριλογία (Έξι πρόσωπα ζητούν συγγραφέα, Καθένας με τον τρόπο του και Απόψε αυτοσχεδιάζουμε) και για μια συνοπτική πρόσληψη των έργων μέσα από κάποιες εμβληματικές σκηνοθετικές προσεγγίσεις, ακολουθεί μια ανάλυση βασισμένη στη θεματική και στο περιεχόμενο της τριλογίας, που σχετίζεται με το δίπολο τέχνη-ζωή, το ρόλο του σχετικισμού και το πρόβλημα της υποτιθέμενης ακεραιότητας του εαυτού και του θεατρικού προσώπου. Στη συνέχεια εξετάζονται τα δομικά στοιχεία της τριλογίας που έχουν σχέση με τους πειραματισμούς πάνω στις φόρμες και τα πρωτοποριακά «ανοίγματα» που εισήγαγε ο Pirandello, καθώς και με την κατάργηση των θεατρικών συμβάσεων και κανόνων που δοκίμασε σε διάφορα επίπεδα.
description: The purpose of this post-graduate dissertation is to attempt an understanding of the manner in which the Pirandello’s trilogy stands as one of the forerunners of the deconstruction that took place in the theatre world, even at a theoretical level, and finally how close is the metatheatrical trilogy to post-modernism. After an introduction regarding the era in which the trilogy was written (Six characters in search of an author, Each in his own way, Tonight we improvise) and for a synoptic reception of the plays within some of the emblematic directional approaches, follows an analysis based on the theme and contents of the trilogy, which relate to the dipolar art-life, the role of relativism and the problem of the hypothetical integrity of oneself and the theatrical character as a whole.Furthermore the structural elements of the trilogy are examined, which relate to the experiments, concerning forms and avant-garde overtures that Pirandello introduced, as well as the abolishment of the theatrical conventions and rules he put to the test in several levels.

description: Metasurfaces are ultrathin nanostructured surfaces that can allow arbitrary manipulation of light. Implementing dynamic tunability into their design could allow the optical functions of metasurfaces to be rapidly modified at will. The most pronounced and robust tunability of optical properties is provided by phase-change materials such as vanadium dioxide (VO2) and germanium antimony telluride (GST), but their implementations have been limited only to near-infrared wavelengths. Here, we demonstrate that VO2 nanoantennas with widely tunable Mie resonances can be utilized for designing tunable metasurfaces in the visible range. In contrast to the dielectric-metallic phase transition-induced tunability in previous demonstrations, we show that dielectric Mie resonances in VO2 nanoantennas offer remarkable scattering and extinction modulation depths (5-8 dB and 1-3 dB, respectively) for tunability in the visible. Moreover, these strong resonances are optically switchable using a continuous-wave laser. Our results establish VO2 nanostructures as low-loss building blocks of optically tunable metasurfaces.

Multi-Domain Adversarial Feature Generalization for Person Re-Identification

description: With the assistance of sophisticated training methods applied to single labeled datasets, the performance of fully-supervised person re-identification (Person Re-ID) has been improved significantly in recent years. However, these models trained on a single dataset usually suffer from considerable performance degradation when applied to videos of a different camera network. To make Person Re-ID systems more practical and scalable, several cross-dataset domain adaptation methods have been proposed, which achieve high performance without the labeled data from the target domain. However, these approaches still require the unlabeled data of the target domain during the training process, making them impractical. A practical Person Re-ID system pre-trained on other datasets should start running immediately after deployment on a new site without having to wait until sufficient images or videos are collected and the pre-trained model is tuned. To serve this purpose, in this paper, we reformulate person re-identification as a multi-dataset domain generalization problem. We propose a multi-dataset feature generalization network (MMFA-AAE), which is capable of learning a universal domain-invariant feature representation from multiple labeled datasets and generalizing it to `unseen' camera systems. The network is based on an adversarial auto-encoder to learn a generalized domain-invariant latent feature representation with the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) measure to align the distributions across multiple domains. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Our MMFA-AAE approach not only outperforms most of the domain generalization Person Re-ID methods, but also surpasses many state-of-the-art supervised methods and unsupervised domain adaptation methods by a large margin.

description: A new method is introduced for solving equality constrained nonlinear optimization problems. This method does not use a penalty function, nor a filter, and yet can be proved to be globally convergent to first-order stationary points. It uses different trust-regions to cope with the nonlinearity of the objective and constraint functions, and allows inexact SQP steps that do not lie exactly in the nullspace of the local Jacobian. Preliminary numerical experiments on CUTEr problems indicate that the method performs well.

description: The ability to monitor audience reactions is critical when delivering presentations. However, current videoconferencing platforms offer limited solutions to support this. This work leverages recent advances in affect sensing to capture and facilitate communication of relevant audience signals. Using an exploratory survey (N = 175), we assessed the most relevant audience responses such as confusion, engagement, and head-nods. We then implemented AffectiveSpotlight, a Microsoft Teams bot that analyzes facial responses and head gestures of audience members and dynamically spotlights the most expressive ones. In a within-subjects study with 14 groups (N = 117), we observed that the system made presenters significantly more aware of their audience, speak for a longer period of time, and self-assess the quality of their talk more similarly to the audience members, compared to two control conditions (randomly-selected spotlight and default platform UI). We provide design recommendations for future affective interfaces for online presentations based on feedback from the study.

description: The electromagnetic form factors provide important hints for the internal structure of the nucleon and continue to be of major interest for experimentalists. For an intermediate range of momentum transfers the form factors can be calculated on the lattice. However, reliability of the results is limited by systematic errors due to the required extrapolation to physical quark masses. Chiral effective field theories predict a rather strong quark mass dependence in a range which was yet unaccessible for lattice simulations. We give an update on recent results from the QCDSF collaboration using gauge configurations with Nf=2, non-perturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson fermions at very small quark masses down to 340 MeV pion mass, where we start to probe the relevant quark mass region.

Για των καταγραφή των θεατρικών χώρων έγινε αυτοψία και φωτογράφιση, καθώς και αποτύπωσή τους, όπου αυτό ήταν δυνατόν, καθώς ορισμένοι από τους χώρους έχουν εγκαταλειφθεί από τις ομάδες. Επίσης, πάρθηκαν συνεντεύξεις, με δεδομένα ερωτηματολόγια, από τους επικεφαλής των ομάδων, καθώς κι από τους σκηνογράφους που συνεργάζονται με τις ομάδες αυτές. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας είναι τόσο ποσοτικά, όσο και ποιοτικά, ούτως ώστε να δειχθεί ο πολυδιάστατος χαρακτήρας της θεατρικής ζωής στη Θεσσαλονίκη.
description: This paper attempts to investigate the theatrical life in Thessaloniki by researching the theatre groups that maintain small-scale theatre spaces, which were not constructed as such and were transformed into theatres a posteriori. The introduction is a review of the small-scale and non-theatrical performance space in the history of the theatre. The survey contains the “pocket-size” theatres in Thessaloniki, which have a limited capacity of audience attendance and have been active to the day of this research. The method of the registration includes photographs and plans of the spaces, produced by the author, as well as photographs of the performances, provided by the theatre groups. Moreover, the directors and the set designers that collaborate with these groups were interviewed on a given questionnaire. The results are quantitative as well as qualitative, so as to indicate the various aspects of the theatrical phenomenon in the city of Thessaloniki.

description: The connection between regional costume and theatrical costume in modern performances of the ancient Greek tragedy pertains to the aesthetics of each era. At the same time it concerns the quest of the Greek set and costume designers and directors to support the ideology of the continuity of the Hellenism in the revival of the ancient Greek tragedy. The four performances studied -all directed by Kostas Tsianos- brought back the issue of the continuity of the Hellenism by the extensive use of folk tradition. This study explores and analyses the use of the regional costume, the most defining and crucial feature of this artistic venture. The two outstanding Greek scenographers, George Ziakas and Ioanna Papantoniou have signed the set and costume design in these performances.

description: We investigate numerically the quasiparticle density of states $\varrho(E)$ for a two-dimensional, disordered superconductor in which both time-reversal and spin-rotation symmetry are broken. As a generic single-particle description of this class of systems (symmetry class D), we use the Cho-Fisher version of the network model. This has three phases: a thermal insulator, a thermal metal, and a quantized thermal Hall conductor. In the thermal metal we find a logarithmic divergence in $\varrho(E)$ as $E\to 0$, as predicted from sigma model calculations. Finite size effects lead to superimposed oscillations, as expected from random matrix theory. In the thermal insulator and quantized thermal Hall conductor, we find that $\varrho(E)$ is finite at E=0. At the plateau transition between these phases, $\varrho(E)$ decreases towards zero as $|E|$ is reduced, in line with the result $\varrho(E) \sim |E|\ln(1/|E|)$ derived from calculations for Dirac fermions with random mass.

description: The estimation of more than one parameter in quantum mechanics is a fundamental problem with relevant practical applications. In fact, the ultimate limits in the achievable estimation precision are ultimately linked with the non-commutativity of different observables, a peculiar property of quantum mechanics. We here consider several estimation problems for qubit systems and evaluate the corresponding quantumness R, a measure that has been recently introduced in order to quantify how much incompatible are the parameters to be estimated. In particular, R is an upper bound for the renormalized difference between the (asymptotically achievable) Holevo bound and the SLD Cramér-Rao bound (i.e. the matrix generalization of the single-parameter quantum Cramér-Rao bound). For all the estimation problems considered, we evaluate the quantumness R and, in order to better understand its usefulness in characterizing a multiparameter quantum statistical model, we compare it with the renormalized difference between the Holevo and the SLD-bound. Our results give evidence that R is a useful quantity to characterize multiparameter estimation problems, as for several quantum statistical model it is equal to the difference between the bounds and, in general, their behaviour qualitatively coincide. On the other hand, we also find evidence that for certain quantum statistical models the bound is not in tight, and thus R may overestimate the degree of quantum incompatibility between parameters.

description: Im Herbst 2023 startete das Projekt "Peer-to-Peer-Strategieberatung für Hochschulleitungen als Werkzeug zur Etablierung einer gelebten Open-Access-Kultur an Hochschulen für angewandte Wissenschaften" (P2P.OA.HAW).

Ziel des Projektes ist, ein Peer-to-Peer-Strategieberatungskonzept für Hochschulleitungen zur Etablierung einer gelebten Open-Access-Kultur an Hochschulen für angewandte Wissenschaften zu erproben. Der Fokus liegt auf der Identifizierung hochschuleigener Entwicklungsbedarfe in den Bereichen Strategie, Struktur, Organisation und Prozesse und der Awareness-Steigerung der Leitungsebene für Open Access förderliche Maßnahmen sowie deren Umsetzung.

Durch das Vorhaben wird ein Werkzeug verfügbar und offen nachnutzbar gemacht, mit dem Hochschulen und Wissenschaftseinrichtungen den Wandel hin zu mehr Open Access an ihrer Institution unterstützen können. In Anlehnung an die P2P-Beratung des Hochschulforums Digitalisierung werden Hochschulleitungen von HAW durch Angehörige der Leitungen anderer Hochschulen oder Wissenschaftseinrichtungen in der Rolle von „Critical Friends“ auf Augenhöhe in einem strukturierten Prozess bei der Identifizierung, Konzipierung und Umsetzung eigener Entwicklungsziele und -wege begleitet und beraten. Das Projekt startet im April 2024 in die operative Phase nachdem Anfang März erste Partnerhochschulen ausgewählt wurden. Für Herbst 2024 sind die ersten Beratungstage geplant, nachdem die Partnereinrichtungen im Rahmen eines Selbstberichts eine umfassende Analyse des Ist-Zustands unternommen haben.

Der Vortrag stellt Motivation und Rahmenbedingungen des Projekts dar: Was sind die Herausforderungen der HAW? Wie reagiert das Konzept P2P-Beratung auf diese spezifischen Herausforderungen? Und die ersten Erfahrungen in der Projektumsetzung von P2P.OA.HAW werden in den Blick genommen: Welche Erfahrungen konnten bei der Auswahl der Hochschulen für die ersten Beratungsrunde, bei der Identifizierung der Peers und der Begleitung der Hochschulen bei ihrem Selbstbericht, gesammelt werden?

description: With the goal to study the physical and chemical evolution of ices in solar-mass systems, a spectral survey is conducted of a sample of 41 low luminosity YSOs using 3-38 um Spitzer and ground-based spectra. The long-known 6.0 and 6.85 um bands are detected toward all sources, with the Class 0-type YSOs showing the deepest bands ever observed. In almost all sources the 6.0 um band is deeper than expected from the bending mode of pure solid H2O. The depth and shape variations of the remaining 5-7 um absorption indicate that it consists of 5 independent components, which, by comparison to laboratory studies, must be from at least 8 different carriers. Simple species are responsible for much of the absorption in the 5-7 um region, at abundances of 1-30% for CH3OH, 3-8% for NH3, 1-5% for HCOOH, ~6% for H2CO, and ~0.3% for HCOO- with respect to solid H2O. The 6.85 um band likely consists of one or two carriers, of which one is less volatile than H2O because its abundance relative to H2O is enhanced at lower H2O/tau_9.7 ratios. It does not survive in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM), however. The similarity of the 6.85 um bands for YSOs and background stars indicates that its carrier(s) must be formed early in the molecular cloud evolution. If an NH4+ salt is the carrier its abundance with respect to solid H2O is typically 7%, and low temperature acid-base chemistry or cosmic ray induced reactions must have been involved in its formation. Possible origins are discussed for the carrier of an enigmatic, very broad absorption between 5 and 8 um. Finally, all the phenomena observed for ices toward massive YSOs are also observed toward low mass YSOs, indicating that processing of the ices by internal ultraviolet radiation fields is a minor factor in the early chemical evolution of the ices.

Πέντε είναι οι παραστάσεις, οι οποίες θα μας απασχολήσουν: του 1963 από το Εθνικό Θέατρο, του 1972 από το Κρατικό Θέατρο Βορείου Ελλάδος, του 1993 από το Θέατρο Σημείο, του 1994 από το Αμφι-Θέατρο και του 2005 από το Εθνικό Θέατρο. Υπάρχει μια ακόμα παράσταση κουκλοθεάτρου του Ονειροδράματος το 2004 από το Θέατρο Σκάλα, η οποία όμως λόγω του είδους της δε θα αναλυθεί περαιτέρω. Αρχικά, γίνεται αναφορά στο ιστορικό πλαίσιο του έργου και στις βασικές επιδράσεις του συγγραφέα: στην ψυχανάλυση, στον κινηματογράφο, στην ινδική θρησκεία και στα προσωπικά βιώματα. Ακολουθεί μια σύντομη αναφορά για την σκηνική τύχη του έργου στην υπόλοιπη Ευρώπη. Αμέσως μετά αρχίζει το κύριο μέρος της εργασίας, η αναλυτική παρουσίαση δηλαδή των παραστάσεων.
description: This master thesis examines the performances of August Strindberg’ s play A Dream Play on Greek theatrical stages. Great importance is given to the aesthetic side of the performances. Until now, the play has been stages six times, five of them are going to be analyzed: 1963 National Theatre of Greece, 1972 National Theatre of Northern Greece, 1993 Simeio Theatre, 1994 Amfi-Theatro, 2005 National Theatre. There is also a performance of puppets staged at 2004 by Skala Theatre, which is not going to be further analyzed. At the beginning, there is a reference to the historical cadre of the play as well as to the basic writer’s impacts: to psychoanalysis, to cinema, to Indian religion and to personal experience. Then, there is a brief reference to the course of the play to the rest of Europe and after that follows the basic part of the thesis, the analytical presentation of the staged performances.

description: SARS-CoV-2 is a new human coronavirus (CoV), which emerged in China in late 2019 and is responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic that caused more than 59 million infections and 1.4 million deaths in 11 months. Understanding the origin of this virus is an important issue and it is necessary to determine the mechanisms of its dissemination in order to contain future epidemics. Based on phylogenetic inferences, sequence analysis and structure-function relationships of coronavirus proteins, informed by the knowledge currently available on the virus, we discuss the different scenarios evoked to account for the origin - natural or synthetic - of the virus. The data currently available is not sufficient to firmly assert whether SARS-CoV2 results from a zoonotic emergence or from an accidental escape of a laboratory strain. This question needs to be solved because it has important consequences on the evaluation of risk/benefit balance of our interaction with ecosystems, the intensive breeding of wild and domestic animals, as well as some lab practices and on scientific policy and biosafety regulations. Regardless of its origin, studying the evolution of the molecular mechanisms involved in the emergence of pandemic viruses is essential to develop therapeutic and vaccine strategies and to prevent future zoonoses.

Charting the Fifth Force Landscape

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Fifth forces arising from hidden sector scalar operator exchange, as probed in a variety of present and planned experiments, can be captured by a general dispersion relation involving one real, positive, spectral density function. Previously considered scalar fifth forces, from tree-level to more exotic loop-level possibilities, are derived in this formalism, without explicitly performing conventional loop calculations. A variety of experimental observables commonly used in fifth force searches are also presented in the same formalism, allowing the straightforward extraction of limits on any specific model. The speculative possibility of probing hidden sector violations of unitarity, causality, or locality, manifested as a breakdown of the positivity of the spectral density, is also discussed.

Large-Scale Parker Winds in Active Galactic Nuclei

description: We build and test Parker-wind models to apply to observations of large-scale (of order 100 pc) outflows from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). These models include detailed photoionization simulations, the observed radially varying mass profile, adiabatic cooling, and approximations for clouds dragged along in the wind and the interaction of the wind with the circumnuclear ISM of the galaxy. We test this model against recent HST/STIS observations of [O III] emission-line kinematics (in particular, we test against those observed in NGC 4151, but approximately the same kinematics is observed in NGC 1068 and Mrk 3) to constrain the viability of large-scale thermal winds in AGNs. We find that adiabatic cooling dominates in these outflows, decelerating Parker winds on large scales, making them highly unlikely as explanations of the observed kinematics.

description: The role played by YouTube's recommendation algorithm in unwittingly promoting misinformation and conspiracy theories is not entirely understood. Yet, this can have dire real-world consequences, especially when pseudoscientific content is promoted to users at critical times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we set out to characterize and detect pseudoscientific misinformation on YouTube. We collect 6.6K videos related to COVID-19, the Flat Earth theory, as well as the anti-vaccination and anti-mask movements. Using crowdsourcing, we annotate them as pseudoscience, legitimate science, or irrelevant and train a deep learning classifier to detect pseudoscientific videos with an accuracy of 0.79.
 We quantify user exposure to this content on various parts of the platform and how this exposure changes based on the user's watch history. We find that YouTube suggests more pseudoscientific content regarding traditional pseudoscientific topics (e.g., flat earth, anti-vaccination) than for emerging ones (like COVID-19). At the same time, these recommendations are more common on the search results page than on a user's homepage or when actively watching videos. Finally, we shed light on how a user's watch history substantially affects the type of recommended videos.

description: The Herschel-Bulkley law, a universal constitutive relation, has been empirically known to be applicable to a vast range of soft materials, including sheared glasses. Although the Herschel- Bulkley law has attracted public attention, its structural origin has remained an open question. In this letter, by means of atomistic simulation of binary Lennard-Jones glasses, we report that the instantaneous normal modes with negative eigenvalues, or so-called imaginary modes, serve as the structural signatures for the Herschel-Bulkley rheology in sheared glasses.
