description: Coherent-Constructible Correspondence for toric variety assigns to each $n$-dimensional toric variety $X_Σ$ a Lagrangian skeleton $Λ_Σ\subset T^*T^n$, such that the derived category of coherent sheaves $Coh(X_Σ)$ is equivalent to the (wrapped) constructible sheaves $Sh^w(T^n, Λ_Σ)$. In this paper, we extend this correspondence, so that flip and flop between toric varieties corresponds to variation of Lagrangian skeletons. The main idea is to translate window subcategory in variation of GIT to a window skeleton.

Scheduling refresher-based rescue and evacuation training for wind turbine technicians

Year: 2015

description: The adage “once trained, always trained” is a recognized myth. A look at the refresher skill training of wind technicians show that rescue and evacuation skills deteriorate over a period of time of non-practice. Therefore, the importance of safe and efficient rescue and evacuation of wind turbine technicians working at height cannot be over emphasized. An evaluation of the wind technicians’ skill and knowledge proficiency in the use of rescue and evacuation devices after acquisition indicates that poor retention of technician skill in the safe and procedural execution of a rescue during an emergency is a potential problem that is yet to be addressed. This research quantitatively assesses if wind turbine technicians are capable of retaining knowledge and skills learned over a 24 month period, evaluates pre-acquisition, acquisition and follow-up primary measurements at retention intervals of one and three months and proposes a refresher timeframe and benchmark performance that can maximize the proficiency level of technicians. Due to the infrequent nature of practically carrying out on-the-job rescue and evacuation roles, there is a likelihood of skill and knowledge decay in times of significant emergencies except where there is a support system available to the technicians. Possible solutions to overturn these problems are discussed based on the data obtained during the study. Draft results were used to propose a refresher timeframe and benchmark performance that can maximize the proficiency of technicians to an acceptable level as guidelines for management towards scheduling safe wind turbine rescue and evacuation training.

Year: 2015

description: Construction is one of the most high-risk industries in the world. The safety records of the construction sector report that, construction workers are approximately over three times more likely to be exposed to serious accidents comparing to other industries. In addition to these injuries and fatalities, work-related accidents also cause financial damage, conflictual cases and pecuniary penalties for the construction companies. Therefore, the significance of the safety management process has been increasing in the construction industry. However, since the majority of the construction activities are complex and require collaboration between the workers, the provision of the safety has become one of the challenging tasks. So, the behavior-based skills of the workers play a crucial role in the safety management. Traditional safety training methods have been merely focusing on information-based techniques such as lectures, videos, written materials, etc. On the other hand, previous research has indicated that adequate safety training should also involve behavioral modeling and hands-on training, together with traditional learning methods. Due to the nature of the construction projects, hands-on training in the construction field is not practicable. In this sense, using virtual environments is an effective method that enables a safe environment for the users without being exposed to adverse effects of the failed tasks. Thus, virtual environments allow visual simulation that is helpful for the improvement of the trainees’ behavior-based skills. Therefore, virtual environments provide an important opportunity to advance the level of safety training. The main aim of the study is to describe the developed virtual safety training environment called V-SAFE (Virtual Safety Analysis For Engineering applications), which involves methods to simulate, and visualize construction operation scenarios. V-SAFE is based on the Unreal game engine for the visualization of the environment, and USARSim is used for the high-fidelity simulation of the robot behavior and environment mapping. V-SAFE is projected to establish a base to identify construction-specific safety risks and to improve the behavior-based skills of the construction project participants. In brief, V-SAFE has high potential to improve the risk recognition capability, and situational awareness of the construction managers, workers, safety managers, field engineers. So, V-SAFE could be beneficial for the construction organizations aim to advance the effectiveness of the safety training.

L2 convergence of smooth approximations of Stochastic Differential Equations with unbounded coefficients

description: The aim of this paper is to obtain convergence in mean in the uniform topology of piecewise linear approximations of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) with $C^1$ drift and $C^2$ diffusion coefficients with uniformly bounded derivatives. Convergence analyses for such Wong-Zakai approximations most often assume that the coefficients of the SDE are uniformly bounded. Almost sure convergence in the unbounded case can be obtained using now standard rough path techniques, although $L^q$ convergence appears yet to be established and is of importance for several applications involving Monte-Carlo approximations. We consider $L^2$ convergence in the unbounded case using a combination of traditional stochastic analysis and rough path techniques. We expect our proof technique extend to more general piecewise smooth approximations.

Automated dimensional compliance assessment with incomplete point cloud

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Dimensional compliance assessment of prefabricated assemblies is a critical part of mitigating rework on heavy industrial construction projects. As assemblies become more complex, manual direct contact metrology becomes ineffective at detecting fabrication error and so automated alternatives that offer objective, fast, and continuous data collection must be explored. Nahangi and Haas (2014) developed an automated method for assessing pipe spools through an algorithm that compares as-built laser scans to 3D design files. The tool is capable of automatic and continual monitoring of prefabricated assemblies throughout their lifecycle and enables timely detection and quantification of dimensional non-compliance. In the original publication, the tool was validated using ideal input data. In this paper, the tool is tested for robustness when processing incomplete point cloud input data. Non-ideal input data is a risk associated with unfavorable conditions in the fabrication environment such as random assembly occlusions causing blind spots in sensing setup, budgetary constraints limiting the purchase of sensing equipment/viewpoints, and random hardware or software failures resulting in corrupt data. The tool was found to reliably detect dimensional non-compliance so long as the non-compliance indicator (pipe spool feature distinguishing the non-compliant state from the design state) was not fully occluded. Accuracy of non-compliance quantification was predominantly high, however, loosely proportional to the input point cloud’s coverage of the assembly’s surface area.

description: In this paper we consider the moduli space of complete, conformally flat metrics on a sphere with k punctures having constant positive Q-curvature and positive scalar curvature. Previous work has shown that such metrics admit an asymptotic expansion near each puncture, allowing one to define an asymptotic necksize of each singular point. We prove that any set in the moduli space such that the distances between distinct punctures and the asymptotic necksizes all remain bounded away from zero is sequentially compact, mirroring a theorem of D. Pollack about singular Yamabe metrics. Along the way we define a radial Pohozaev invariant at each puncture and refine some a priori bounds of the conformal factor, which may be of independent interest.

description: Implementation of sustainability rating systems for buildings had a recognized effect on the increased level of sustainability adoption in the construction industry. However, there is still a need for objective quantifiable evidence that the concepts adopted by the sustainability rating systems and implemented in projects lead to optimum positive impacts on resource consumption and the environment. The objective of this paper is to present research conducted to assess the actual environmental impact saved by implementing credits of both LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) and QSAS (Qatar Sustainability Assessment System) using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) approach. The impact of implementing LEED and QSAS credits under the categories of energy, water and urban connectivity on a selected project in Qatar was analyzed using LCA. The results of this analysis manifest the objective quantifiable benefits behind applying the respective sustainability credits and how the impact of an international rating system differs from that of a system developed for the specific region where the project is located. The relative weights allocated to these credits were also analyzed in light of the corresponding LCA results in order to evaluate the significance of such weights and how they can be reconsidered to achieve optimum reduction of impacts.

description: We investigate the proof complexity of systems based on positive branching programs, i.e. non-deterministic branching programs (NBPs) where, for any 0-transition between two nodes, there is also a 1-transition. Positive NBPs compute monotone Boolean functions, just like negation-free circuits or formulas, but constitute a positive version of (non-uniform) NL, rather than P or NC1, respectively.

The proof complexity of NBPs was investigated in previous work by Buss, Das and Knop, using extension variables to represent the dag-structure, over a language of (non-deterministic) decision trees, yielding the system eLNDT. Our system eLNDT+ is obtained by restricting their systems to a positive syntax, similarly to how the 'monotone sequent calculus' MLK is obtained from the usual sequent calculus LK by restricting to negation-free formulas.

Our main result is that eLNDT+ polynomially simulates eLNDT over positive sequents. Our proof method is inspired by a similar result for MLK by Atserias, Galesi and Pudlák, that was recently improved to a bona fide polynomial simulation via works of Jeřábek and Buss, Kabanets, Kolokolova and Koucký. Along the way we formalise several properties of counting functions within eLNDT+ by polynomial-size proofs and, as a case study, give explicit polynomial-size poofs of the propositional pigeonhole principle.

description: The effectiveness and competitive advantage of an organization/project can be enhanced when its members possess an understanding, respect, acceptance, and capacity to manage cross-cultural differences. Ignoring or failing to manage such differences may lead to many problems in the project (e.g., project delays and productivity decrease). In fact, international/transnational projects involving participants from diverse political, legal, economic, and cultural backgrounds are on the rise. Hence, firms should be cross-culturally competent and capable of managing in contrasting cultural factors. However, a recent study conducted in 2013 by the Construction Industry Institute (CII) reported that one of the major concerns of construction professionals is a widespread lack of understanding of foreign cultures, ethnicities, and languages. The aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive review of the literature on cultural aspects in the construction industry so as to identify the knowledge gaps and to suggest recommendations for future research. To do so, the authors have identified and compared major studies on cultural factors. From the comparison, the authors have identified the categories that are considered the most central to understanding cultural differences; they are, “group attachment and relations,” “authority and status,” “uncertainty and rules,” “gender roles and assertiveness,” and “time and future orientation.” The authors also summarize the current research topics in culture in construction and recommend ideas for future research into culture as it pertains to a construction context.

description: Lean construction principles are not yet well known to the Egyptian construction industry. Introducing lean principles is often reported to be faced with considerable resistance to change. In this research, the authors follow the action research methodology to apply some lean construction tools on an ongoing construction operation in Giza, Egypt. The operation at hand is the manufacturing and installation of steel fences and gates in a new residential complex. The operation involves material procurement, off site manufacturing, off-site finishing, transportation, installation and on-site finishing activities. The investigated sample includes four steel workshops, two painting workshops, and an on-site installation crew. The lean construction tool applied is value stream mapping. The main challenges faced by this operation are costumer’s demand fluctuation and a resisting crafts-men culture. The customer demand unforeseeable fluctuations (1) affect the subcontractors’ ability to order large quantities of materials from the suppliers with sufficient lead-time; (2) results in an unstable cash flow to the subcontractors; and (3) generates an unbalanced workload distribution among the on-site and off-site crews. The supervisors of the workshops and on-site crews attempted to adopt some operation plans that according to their experience is best suited for mass production. These plans incorporated many wastes and needed significant modifications to respond in time to the fluctuation of the customer’s demands. Hence, value stream mapping is investigated as a possible solution to the aforementioned challenges. The authors succeeded to change and improve the operations of some participants, cutting the response time to customer demands by half in some cases. However, the authors failed with other participants, mainly because the crafts-men and their supervisors showed a significant resistance to change their operations design. This paper describes the lean construction initiatives, their results, and the main barriers and potentials identified through this research project.

description: The concept and phenomenon of social capital has been identified as an organizing logic that can add value to project organizations. In this respect, social capital is conceptualized as both personal and impersonal linkages between individuals in project organization, the quality of these linkages, and the shared representations embedded within these linkages. Social capital provides a means of coordination and collaboration among project participants. However, given the novelty of the concept in construction settings and peculiarities of construction projects, key questions arise as to what represents and are the forms of social capital in project settings? We adopt a mixed methods approach to answer these questions. Data from a survey of 376 respondents and a case project converge into forming a coherent conceptualization of social capital in construction projects. The findings confirm the multi-faceted nature of social capital and reveal the mechanisms by which social capital facilitates project organizing. Social capital appears to be more acutely needed in construction projects. While structural capital provides the platform for information and influence transfer, relational capital provides psychological safety upon which cognitive capital is translated into task performance. We conclude by discussing both the theoretical and practical contributions of the study to the relational governance discourse in project management.

description: This dissertation is concerned with testing the martingale difference hypothesis (MDH) in the returns of the UK stock indices and foreign exchange rates. The investigation has been carried on from two aspects. First, a wide range of approaches concerning testing the MDH in economic and financial time series are briefly reviewed. An extensive Monte Carlo experiment is conducted to evaluate and compare the performances of the alternative tests. It is found that the wild bootstrap (WB) test, the Chow and Denning’s test based on sign test with zero drift, CD(S1), and the bootstrap adjusted sign tests, BS(S1) and BS(S2), are superior to others by showing desirable size properties under the martingale difference sequence and excellent power properties against a variety of nonmartingale alternatives. In addition, they are all non-parametric finite sample tests and do not rely on large sample theories for statistical inferences, of which the BS(S2) even require no strong assumptions on the distribution of asset returns. Second, the statistics of drawdowns, which measure the successive losses over elastic time scale, can detect the subtle dependences in the very large successive price variations. Therefore, they are applied to test the MDH in this study following Somette (2004). If the successive price variations are not correlated, the drawdowns will distribute as stretched exponentials, or equivalently, any deviations from this distribution will suggest the existence of dependences in the returns. All the MDH tests are applied to the empirical data of four major FTSE stock indices and exchange rates of four major currencies against the British pound. The results of best-performing conventional tests suggest that the MDH is rejected for three of eight return series, whereas the statistics of drawdowns detect the dependences in large successive returns for most time series except for the €/£ exchange rates, which have short-history data available. In view of the advantages and limitations of each testing method, it is concluded that the returns of all examined series are dependent, especially during the financial market crashes.

description: Using ideas from 3-manifolds, Hatcher--Wahl defined a notion of automorphism groups of free groups with boundary. We study their Torelli subgroups, adapting ideas introduced by Putman for surface mapping class groups. Our main results show that these groups are finitely generated, and also that they satisfy an appropriate version of the Birman exact sequence.

description: Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on education worldwide. There is increased discussion of possible negative effects on students’ learning outcomes and the need for targeted support. We examined fourth graders’ reading achievement based on a school panel study, representative on the student level, with N = 111 elementary schools in Germany (total: N = 4,290 students, age: 9–10 years). The students were tested with the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study instruments in 2016 and 2021. The analysis focused on (1) total average differences in reading achievement between 2016 and 2021, (2) average differences controlling for student composition, and (3) changes in achievement gaps between student subgroups (i.e., immigration background, socio-cultural capital, and gender). The methodological approach met international standards for the analysis of large-scale assessments (i.e., multiple multi-level imputation, plausible values, and clustered mixed-effect regression). The results showed a substantial decline in mean reading achievement. The decline corresponds to one-third of a year of learning, even after controlling for changes in student composition. We found no statistically significant changes of achievement gaps between student subgroups, despite numerical tendencies toward a widening of achievement gaps between students with and without immigration background. It is likely that this sharp achievement decline was related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings are discussed in terms of further research needs, practical implications for educating current student cohorts, and educational policy decisions regarding actions in crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: Electron correlations amplify quantum fluctuations and, as such, they have been recognized as the origin of a rich landscape of quantum phases. Whether and how they lead to gapless topological states is an outstanding question, and a framework that allows for determining novel phases and identifying new materials is in pressing need. Here we advance a general approach, in which strong correlations cooperate with crystalline symmetry to drive gapless topological states. We test this materials design principle by exploring Kondo lattice models and materials whose space group symmetries may promote different kinds of electronic degeneracies, with a particular focus on square-net systems. Weyl-Kondo nodal-line semimetals -- with nodes pinned to the Fermi energy -- are identified. We describe how this approach can be applied to discover strongly correlated topological semimetals, identify three heavy fermion compounds as new candidates, provide first direct experimental evidence for our prediction in Ce$_2$Au$_3$In$_5$, and discuss how our approach may lead to many more. Our findings illustrate the potential of the proposed materials design principle to guide the search for new topological metals in a broad range of strongly correlated systems.

description: A $2$-distance $k$-coloring of a graph is a proper vertex $k$-coloring where vertices at distance at most 2 cannot share the same color. We prove the existence of a $2$-distance $4$-coloring for planar subcubic graphs with girth at least 21. We also show a construction of a planar subcubic graph of girth 11 that is not $2$-distance $4$-colorable.

description: According to Bestvina-Bromberg-Fujiwara, a finitely generated group is said to have property (QT) if it acts isometrically on a finite product of quasi-trees so that orbital maps are quasi-isometric embeddings. We prove that the fundamental group $π_1(M)$ of a compact, connected, orientable 3-manifold $M$ has property (QT) if and only if no summand in the sphere-disc decomposition of $M$ supports either Sol or Nil geometry. In particular, all compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold groups with nontrivial torus decomposition and not supporting Sol geometry have property (QT). In the course of our study, we establish property (QT) for the class of Croke-Kleiner admissible groups and of relatively hyperbolic groups under natural assumptions has property (QT).

description: Ende 1961 rief der Bundesrat, im Zuge der zunehmenden Institutionalisierung der europäischen Integration, die «Arbeitsgruppe Historische Standortbestimmung» ins Leben. Sie sollte das Verhältnis der Schweiz zur erstarkenden Europäischen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft reflektieren und die Landesregierung beratend unterstützen. Bald entwickelte sich das Gremium zum Diskussionsforum über die grundsätzliche Ausgestaltung und die Perspektiven der schweizerischen Aussenpolitik. Die geistige Elite des Landes, darunter die renommiertesten Historiker der Zeit, debattierte neben der Integrationsfrage über so vielfältige Themen wie die Grundsätze der Neutralität, die Entwicklungshilfe, den Jurakonflikt, die Beziehungen zu den Vereinten Nationen, die KSZE oder die Bedeutung der Menschenrechte, bevor die Arbeitsgruppe 1985 zum letzten Mal tagte.
Die Grundsätzlichkeit des vertraulichen Gedankenaustauschs macht die Sitzungsprotokolle zu einem aussergewöhnlichen historischen Quellenkorpus. Dieser Band stellt zwölf ausgewählte Protokolle in transkribierter und kommentierter Form zur Verfügung und liefert damit einen wertvollen Zugang zu den übrigen Protokollen und weiterführenden Dokumenten in der Online-Datenbank Dodis.
Feasibility of plug-load monitoring and energy-saving interventions in residential and office buildings on the University of Washington campus

description: The University of Washington (UW) is aiming to reduce the overall electricity consumption on campus as part of its Climate Action Plan launched in 2009. To achieve this goal, UW installed 216 smart grid meters and automatic heating, ventilation, and cooling control systems across the entire campus and acquired over 200 sets of plug-load monitoring equipment. The university used the smart grid data and the monitored plug-load data to test how occupants in selected residence halls responded to receiving detailed information about their energy usage patterns, its environmental impacts, and associated costs. The experiment demonstrated that in residence halls, plug-load monitoring did not have any significant impact on the occupants’ electricity consumption. Hence, there is still a need to further assess which strategies are effective in achieving long-term electricity reduction goals for the university. The goal of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis by replicating the plug-load analysis conducted in residence halls in a faculty/staff office setting. The study entailed interviewing university administrators that were involved in the residence hall plug-load study. Interviewees were asked questions about the findings, shortcomings, and recommendations for future studies. Also, this study characterized the load profiles of the faculty/staff offices by monitoring the plug-load consumption in four offices for nine weeks and explored plug-load reduction interventions applicable to office settings. The study found that the unreliable network connection caused frequent disruptions in data collection and strong bias in the individual electricity consumption data. The inventory of electronic appliances in the monitored offices revealed a high variability in the number of devices which lead to variations in base consumption and peak plug loads between faculty offices, and lack of occupant engagement was found to be the main challenge in the implementation of plug load monitoring campaigns. The results provide universities around the country with valuable information and insights on how to design and implement an on campus plug-load reduction intervention with quantifiable energy-saving potential.
