Emergence of nuclear collectivity in Cd and Te isotopes from M1 and E2 observables
Creators: name: Coombes, Ben
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis describes measurements of M1 and E2 observables near Z=50 and toward Sn-132. Coulomb-excitation measurements of odd-mass Cd isotopes are reported with transition strengths for the low-lying states in agreement with previous measurements. Measurements were performed in inverse kinematics with Cd beams impinged on a C target. A multi-step Coulomb-excitation measurement of Cd-111 is described with a Cd-111 beam on a natural Pb target using the GRETINA and CHICO2 arrays. The observed level scheme is reported with a discussion of the nature of states. A new state is tentatively proposed and several new transitions are observed. Measured transition strengths are compared to shell-model calculations with good agreement found. Comparison is made of the low-lying structure of the Cd isotopes to the particle-vibration model with poor agreement found. Consistent with previous work, we suggest that the vibrational explanation of collective states in the Cd isotopes is insufficient. A qualitative comparison of results to the particle-rotor model is then given. Neither the particle-vibration nor the particle-rotor model is seen to give specific, accurate descriptions of these weakly collective nuclides. Transient-field g-factor measurements on the first-excited 4+ states in even-even Te-124 to Te-130 are reported for the first time. Measurements were made with Ni-58 beams on enriched Te targets for each measured isotope. The ratio of g factors of the first-excited 4+ and 2+ states is seen to converge to unity away from the shell closure. The measured g factors are compared to shell-model calculations, and the observed trends are in agreement with shell-model predictions. The reported shell-model calculations show the importance of angular-momentum sharing between protons and neutrons in the development of collectivity. Inverse-kinematics, multi-step Coulomb-excitation measurements of Te-124,126,130 beams on an enriched Ti-50 target are reported. Transition strengths for states above the first-excited 2+ state are obtained to higher precision than in previous measurements in several cases, and the transition strength between the first-excited 4+ and 2+ states in Te-130 measured for the first time. Finally, a discussion of developing collectivity in the Sn-132 region is made with reference to shell-model calculations for both the Cd and Te measurements. The pathway to nuclear collectivity is described with nuclear deformation and triaxiality shape invariants calculated using the Kumar-Cline sum rules based on shell-model-calculated E2 matrix elements. Triaxiality is predicted to be an important feature of low-excitation states in the Te isotopes. Deformation of states is also seen to be smaller in higher-spin states than in lower-spin states. A suggestion is made that collectivity builds from low-excitation, low-spin states toward high-spin states.

description: We are developing a Sensor Web-relevant system
called the Telesupervised Adaptive Ocean Sensor Fleet that uses a
group of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
extended-deployment autonomous surface vehicles to enable in-situ
study of surface and sub-surface characteristics of Harmful Algal
Blooms (HAB). The architecture supports adaptive reconfiguration
based on environmental sensor inputs (“smart” sensing), and
increases data-gathering effectiveness and science return while
reducing demands on scientists for tasking, control, and
monitoring. It combines and adapts prior related work done at
Carnegie Mellon University, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center,
Wallops Flight Facility, Emergent Space Technologies, and the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory. Initial multi-vessel HAB characterization
tests will be performed during summer 2007 with rhodamine dye as
a HAB simulant and an airborne sensor validation system. The
described architecture is broadly applicable to ecological
forecasting, water management, carbon management, disaster
management, coastal management, homeland security, and
planetary exploration.

description: For dense femtocells, intelligent integrated femtocell/macrocell network architecture, a neighbor cell list with a minimum number of femtocells, effective call admission control (CAC), and handover processes with proper signaling are the open research issues. An appropriate traffic model for the integrated femtocell/macrocell network is also not yet developed. In this paper, we present the major issue of mobility management for the integrated femtocell/macrocell network. We propose a novel algorithm to create a neighbor cell list with a minimum, but appropriate, number of cells for handover. We also propose detailed handover procedures and a novel traffic model for the integrated femtocell/macrocell network. The proposed CAC effectively handles various calls. The numerical and simulation results show the importance of the integrated femtocell/macrocell network and the performance improvement of the proposed schemes. Our proposed schemes for dense femtocells will be very effective for those in research and industry to implement.

Subjects: Liverpool English

description: This PhD is weighted 80/20 between creative/critical approaches. The major, creative element (my ‘research as practice’) is comprised of a sequence of poems that explore and shape my experiences and memories of the city of my birth, Liverpool, and function like hanging ‘terrariums’: clear globes containing themes of nostalgia, alienation, displacement, history, and enchantment with the city. The critical element comprises of a braided essay that attempts a dynamic reflection on this sequence of poems. It does this by situating focused reflections alongside the work (and my reading) of other poets associated with the city. If our sense of place is in part created by ongoing imaginative and artistic engagements, then the essay attempts to find intersections between Liverpool as a place described and imagined by other poets alongside my own experiences and memories. The reading of other poets is a facilitator: they open dynamic spaces for my poems to react and rebound off and provide an invitation to respond to Liverpool as a poet. Research has involved exploring experiential, emotional, and familial connections, and so ‘dynamic reflection’ here also means the interweaving of a series of prose vignettes into the essay. I have avoided a more traditional academic critical discourse to foreground the interplay between memory, reading and experience, and to privilege the emergent, dynamic space of the poem, where these elements merge, combine, or collide to find a formal shape. Constructing this relationship between the Liverpool (or Liverpools) of poets and my own re-encounter with the city attempts to engender an echoing effect, a space where a ‘Liverpool of the self’ might be revealed and explored. The act of physically wandering city streets formed an ongoing process of discovery (or re-discovery) through thinking about place critically, reflectively, and imaginatively. In doing so, the poems mobilise ideas of leaving and migration, of the longing for escape, and of homecomings; how the idea of ‘home’ is adjusted or recalibrated, and what that idea might mean (if anything) to me.

description: The EU increasingly advocates a message of tech or digital sovereignty as its future, which appears to align closely with the concept of strategic autonomy. Arguably digital sovereignty has a highly differentiated understanding in the EU as opposed to the US or China. Increasingly, many suggest EU digital sovereignty in the era of the GDPR is a high protectionist idea. Yet the EU has determined that external relations should not be at the cost of sacrificing EU data protection standards. The links of sovereignty to localisation in the context of digital trade are increasingly problematic for the EU as it seeks to reconcile high standards in the post GDPR era. The EU faced complex critique for the CJEU Schrems II ruling, for the emphasis that it places upon data localisation directly or indirectly and the manner in which it appears to awkwardly champion digital sovereignty, particularly where several EU member states practice similar levels of surveillance. The EU has developed model clauses in digital trade balancing its high GDPR standards and its external relations ambitions. The piece considers the concepts of localisation as a development of digital sovereignty in the EU’s international economic law trajectory. Arguably, the model clauses here turn out to be a template of flexibility not absolutism. Whether the EU’s model horizontal clauses reconciling the GDPR and international economic law goals cause difficult for future public policy or ultimately undermine the EU’s goals as to liberalising data flows remains to be seen.

description: We investigate the circumstellar disc fraction as determined from L-band excess observations of the young, massive Arches and Quintuplet clusters residing in the central molecular zone of the Milky Way. The Quintuplet cluster was searched for L-band excess sources for the first time. We find a total of 26 excess sources in the Quintuplet cluster and 21 in the Arches cluster, of which 13 are new detections. With the aid of proper motion membership samples, the disc fraction of the Quintuplet cluster was derived for the first time to be 4.0 +/- 0.7%. There is no evidence for a radially varying disc fraction in this cluster. In the case of the Arches cluster, a disc fraction of 9.2 +/- 1.2% approximately out to the cluster's predicted tidal radius, r < 1.5 pc, is observed. This excess fraction is consistent with our previously found disc fraction in the cluster in the radial range 0.3 < r < 0.8 pc. In both clusters, the host star mass range covers late A- to early B-type stars, 2 < M < 15 Msun, as derived from J-band photospheric magnitudes. We discuss the unexpected finding of dusty circumstellar discs in these UV intense environments in the context of primordial disc survival and formation scenarios of secondary discs. We consider the possibility that the L-band excess sources in the Arches and Quintuplet clusters could be the high-mass counterparts to T Tauri pre-transitional discs. As such a scenario requires a long pre-transitional disc lifetime in a UV intense environment, we suggest that mass transfer discs in binary systems are a likely formation mechanism for the B-star discs observed in these starburst clusters.

description: In January 2004, NASA began a bold enterprise to return to the
Moon, and with the technologies and expertise gained, press on to
Mars. The underlying Vision for Space Exploration calls for a
sustained and affordable human and robotic program to explore
the solar system and beyond; to conduct human expeditions to
Mars after successfully demonstrating sustained human
exploration missions on the Moon. The approach is to “send
human and robotic explorers as partners, leveraging the
capabilities of each where most useful.” Human-robot interfacing
technologies for this approach are required at readiness levels
above any available today. In this paper, we describe the HRI
aspects of a robot supervision architecture we are developing
under NASA’s auspices, based on the authors’ extensive
experience with field deployment of ground, underwater, lighter than air, and inspection autonomous and semi-autonomous
robotic vehicles and systems.

description: Femtocellular networks will co-exist with macrocellular networks, mitigation of the interference between these two network types is a key challenge for successful integration of these two technologies. In particular, there are several interference mechanisms between the femtocellular and the macrocellular networks, and the effects of the resulting interference depend on the density of femtocells and the overlaid macrocells in a particular coverage area. While improper interference management can cause a significant reduction in the system capacity and can increase the outage probability, effective and efficient frequency allocation among femtocells and macrocells can result in a successful co-existence of these two technologies. Furthermore, highly dense femtocellular deployments the ultimate goal of the femtocellular technology will require significant degree of self-organization in lieu of manual configuration. In this paper, we present various femtocellular network deployment scenarios, and we propose a number of frequency-allocation schemes to mitigate the interference and to increases the spectral efficiency of the integrated network. These schemes include: shared frequency band, dedicated frequency band, sub-frequency band, static frequency-reuse, and dynamic frequency-reuse.

description: Characterizing quantum correlations in terms of information-theoretic principles is a popular chapter of quantum foundations. Traditionally, the principles adopted for this scope have been expressed in terms of conditional probability distributions, specifying the probability that a black box produces a certain output upon receiving a certain input. This framework is known as "device-independent". Another major chapter of quantum foundations is the information-theoretic characterization of quantum theory, with its sets of states and measurements, and with its allowed dynamics. The different frameworks adopted for this scope are known under the umbrella term "general probabilistic theories". With only a few exceptions, the two programmes on characterizing quantum correlations and characterizing quantum theory have so far proceeded on separate tracks, each one developing its own methods and its own agenda. This paper aims at bridging the gap, by comparing the two frameworks and illustrating how the two programmes can benefit each other.

description: Many categories of objects, such as human faces, can be naturally viewed as a composition of several different
layers. For example, a bearded face with glasses can be decomposed into three layers: a layer for glasses, a
layer for the beard and a layer for other permanent facial features. While modeling such a face with a linear
subspace model could be very difficult, layer separation allows for easy modeling and modification of some certain
structures while leaving others unchanged. In this paper, we present a method for automatic layer extraction and its
applications to face synthesis and editing. Layers are automatically extracted by utilizing the differences between
subspaces and modeled separately. We show that our method can be used for tasks such beard removal (virtual
shaving), beard synthesis, and beard transfer, among others.

description: Shipdeck landing is one of the most challenging tasks for a rotorcraft. Current autonomous rotorcraft use shipdeck mounted transponders to measure the relative pose of the vehicle to the landing pad. This tracking system is not only expensive but renders an unequipped ship unlandable. We address the challenge of tracking shipdeck without additional infrastructure on the deck. We present two methods based on video and lidar that are able to track the shipdeck starting at a considerable distance from the ship. This redundant sensor design enables us to have two independent tracking systems. We show the results of the tracking algorithms in 3 different environments, 1. ﬁeld testing results on actual helicopter ﬂights, 2. in simulation with a moving shipdeck for lidar based tracking and 3. in laboratory using an occluded and moving scaled model of a landing deck for camera based tracking. The complimentary modalities allow shipdeck tracking under varying conditions.

description: This paper discusses the importance of iteration when performing the measurement update step for the problem of bearing-only SLAM. We focus on an undelayed approach that initializes a landmark after only one bearing measurement. Traditionally, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) has been used for SLAM, but the EKF measurement update rule can often lead to a divergent state estimate due to its inconsistency in linearization. We discuss the flaws of the EKF in this paper, and show that even the well established inverse-depth parametrization for bearing-only SLAM can be affected. We then show that representing the bearing-only update as a numerical optimization problem (solved with an iterative approach such as Gauss-Newton minimization) prevents divergence of the Kalman filter state and produces accurate SLAM results for a bearing-only sensor. More specifically, we propose the use of an iterated Kalman filter to resolve the issues normally associated with the EKF measurement update. Two outdoor mobile robot experiments are discussed to compare algorithm performance.
Reconseptualising critical thinking as a linguistic practice in a Media ESP programme
Creators: name: Hadjiconstantinou, Stavroulla
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022

description: The primary goal of this research study is to explore pedagogies that develop language through practices of critical thinking (CT). In recognition of the importance of CT in education, myside bias – a CT construct from cognitive psychology (Stanovich & West, 2007; Toplak & Stanovich, 2003) – is explored for its potential as a linguistic practice in the creation of a framework enhancing the development of language through the construction of meaning (Halliday & Hasan 1989). At the same time, research in critical pedagogy highlights the effectiveness of raising learners’ critical awareness through language in support of language learning (Luke, 2004; Morgan, 2009). Situated in an English for Specific Purposes context, the design in this study derives from critical analysis of instances of myside bias identified in the language used in media texts. The design develops through an iterative process of data collection and analysis completed in a four-stage intervention informed by design-based research (DBR) methodology. The intervention includes three cycles of implementation, evaluation, and refinement of the design, which involves learners in instructional practices of identification, reconstruction, and critical discussion of the functions of specific linguistic resources in support of linguistic and critical thinking development. Results highlight the effectiveness of the design in using a framework based on the construct of myside bias to create a purpose for engaging with language in critical ways. Engaging with language through repetition of critical thinking practices, in which the use of functional metalanguage facilitates students’ understanding of the potential of language in conveying opinion, develops learners’ ability to appropriate and use these practices in critically approaching texts more independently. The design and principles developed in this study have larger implications for theory and practice, indicating a potential for future applications in other language contexts.

After discussing the formalism at the classical level in a first paper, the present second paper is devoted to the quantum theory. In particular, we inspect in detail how such quantum projective state spaces relate to inductive limit Hilbert spaces and to infinite tensor product constructions. Regarding the quantization of classical projective structures into quantum ones, we extend the results by Okołów [Okołów 2013, arXiv:1304.6330], that were set up in the context of linear configuration spaces, to configuration spaces given by simply-connected Lie groups, and to holomorphic quantization of complex phase spaces.

description: During the implementation of the GE Academy project (January 2019-December 2021), GE Academy partners have designed, pilot-tested and implemented a broad set of session on gender in research and institutional change. The programme is addressing the broad spectrum of topics concerned and supporting the “mainstreaming” of gender expertise in different disciplinary areas and scientific fields, which implicitly spread gender perspectives and gender dimensions in various organisations. Avoiding a simplistic and binary vision of gender, the approach takes intersectionality into account, meaning the interlocking, complex system of inequalities and differences in which individuals are embedded. The capacity building programme responds to the needs of those who are contributing to and can become involved in institutional change towards gender equality in research and innovation (R&I) as well as in Higher Education (HE), taking into account differences between target groups (in terms of professional profile/position, gender, socio-cultural background, discipline, etc.). This deliverable, prepared in the framework of WP4 (Concepts and materials development and testing), fully documents all developed, reviewed and applied concepts for the different GE Academy formats (including all their accompanying materials) during the project duration, including the pilot sessions.

description: We present the results of our investigation on the use of the two-body integrals to compute preliminary orbits by linking too short arcs of observations of celestial bodies. This work introduces a significant improvement with respect to the previous papers on the same subject (see Gronchi et al. 2010, 2011). Here we find a univariate polynomial equation of degree 9 in the radial distance $ρ$ of the orbit at the mean epoch of one of the two arcs. This is obtained by a combination of the algebraic integrals of the two-body problem. Moreover, the elimination step, which in Gronchi et al. 2010, 2011 was done by resultant theory coupled with the discrete Fourier transform, is here obtained by elementary calculations. We also show some numerical tests to illustrate the performance of the new algorithm.

description: Clerambault syndrome, also known as erotomania, is a rare psychiatric disorder in which a person has the delusional belief that another person, usually of higher social status or celebrity, is in love with them.Drug treatment for Clerambault syndrome usually includes atypical antipsychotics, such as risperidone or olanzapine, which are often prescribed to treat delusional symptoms and anxiety associated with Clerambault syndrome. These medications can help reduce the intensity of delusional beliefs and improve an individual's emotional stability.Additionally, it is important to address any underlying disorders that may be contributing to Clerambault syndrome. This could include treatment of co-occurring mood disorders, anxiety disorders, or other psychiatric disorders.It is important to note that drug treatment should be supervised by a mental health specialist, such as a psychiatrist, who will assess the individual situation and determine the need and appropriate dose of medication.Treatment of Clerambault syndrome can be challenging, as patients often hold on to their delusional beliefs and may be resistant to seeking help.

The results obtained in this case confirm the validity of our approach, i.e. that the bulk of proto-spheroids can be modelled by means of a single model which describes the evolution of galaxies at the break of the present-day early type K-band LF.

Capacity analysis is very useful in investigating the ultimate performance limits for wireless networks. Meanwhile, with increasing potential future applications for the CR systems, it is necessary to explore the limitations on their capacity in a dynamic spectrum access environment. However, due to spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), the capacity of the secondary network (SRN) is much more difficult to analyze than that of traditional wireless networks. To overcome this difficulty, in this paper we introduce a novel solution based on small world model to analyze the capacity of SRN. First, we propose a new method of shortcut creation for CRNs, which is based on connectivity ratio. Also, a new channel assignment algorithm is proposed, which jointly considers the available time and transmission time of the channels. And then, we derive the capacity of SRN based on the small world model over multi-radio multi-channel (MRMC) environment. The simulation results show that our proposed scheme can obtain a higher capacity and smaller latency compared with traditional schemes in MRMC CRNs.

description: This document summarizes the technology, procedures, and database organization
of the CMU Multi-Modal Activity Database (CMU-MMAC). The CMU-MMAC
database contains multimodal measures of the human activity of subjects performing
the tasks involved in cooking and food preparation. The CMU-MMAC database was
collected in Carnegie Mellon University’s Motion Capture Lab. A kitchen was built
and to date five subjects have been recorded cooking five different recipes: brownies,
pizza, sandwich, salad and scrambled eggs. The following modalities were recorded:
• Video: (1) Three high spatial resolution (1024 × 768) color video cameras at
low temporal resolution (30 Hertz). (2) Two low spatial resolution (640 × 480)
color video cameras at high temporal resolution (60 Hertz). (3) One wearable
low spatial resolution (640×480) camera at low temporal resolution (12 Hertz).
• Audio: (1) Five balanced microphones. (2) Wearable watch.
• Motion capture: A Vicon motion capture system with 12 infrared MX-40 cameras.
Each camera records images of 4 megapixel resolution at 120 Hertz.
• Five 3-axis accelerometers and gyroscopes.
Several computers were used for recording the various modalities. The computers
were synchronized using the Network Time Protocol (NTP).

Greece

description: In the face of the biodiversity crisis, concerted efforts towards understanding the effects of climate change and habitat loss and fragmentation, both locally and globally, are urgently needed. These are often attempted by leveraging the advances of modern genomics and bioinformatics methodologies. Especially in biodiversity hotspots, the need to understand, monitor and mitigate the loss of biodiversity is pivotal. Greece is a country with especially high endemism. A large percentage of its endemic species is threatened by climate change and human activities. To this end, the national academic community in biodiversity genomics has established a corresponding network of scientists from various Greek research institutes and universities covering different disciplines of biodiversity research. The network aims to support and combine individual actions to establish a Task Force that will channel the flow of information amongst researchers, policy makers, stakeholders and the local society. Our overarching goal is to build a sustainable community and infrastructure for the efficient management of the entire molecular biodiversity data cycle (i.e., from production and storage to the analysis and modelling of data, development of computational tools, and knowledge extraction). Using national and European infrastructures, such as ELIXIR and LifeWatch, we envision to set the ground for studying biodiversity through the lens of biodiversity genomics and offer evidence-based knowledge to guide management of the habitats and the biodiversity they host, as well as the implementation of appropriate policies.

description: The adoption of EU Regulation 2019/452 establishing a framework for the screening of foreign direct investment into the Union has been met with many reservations. While it appeared that it was becoming crucial for the EU to adopt a screening instrument in order to protect essential European interests, the mechanism that came into force in the autumn of 2020 seems too modest, giving the Commission no decisive power. However, thanks to a succession of unprecedented global crises (economic crisis, COVID-19 crisis, Russian aggression against Ukraine) and the emergence of offensive strategies on the part of certain foreign investors, in particular Chinese investors, the European Commission has gradually strengthened the European FDI control mechanism. This mechanism is now focused on the protection of European security, which includes economic security. Moreover, the Commission is clearly seeking to strengthen its own powers in this area. In order for the European FDI screening system to become an instrument for the defence of European strategic autonomy, the next step could be a reform of the system, which would formalize these transformations and would make the Commission the lead authority in the area of FDI control.
Interactive Segmentation, Tracking, and Kinematic Modeling of Unknown 3D Articulated Objects

description: Abstract: We present an interactive perceptual skill for segmenting, tracking, and modeling the kinematic structure of 3D articulated objects. This skill is a prerequisite for general manipulation in unstructured environments. Robot-environment interactions are used to move an unknown object, creating a perceptual signal that reveals the kinematic properties of the object. The resulting perceptual information can then inform and facilitate further manipulation. The algorithm is computationally efficient, handles partial occlusions, and depends on little object motion; it only requires sufficient texture for visual feature tracking. We conducted experiments with everyday objects on a robotic manipulation platform equipped with an RGB-D sensor. The results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method to lighting conditions, object appearance, size, structure, and configuration.

description: Instead of formulating the state space of a quantum field theory over one big Hilbert space, it has been proposed by Kijowski to describe quantum states as projective families of density matrices over a collection of smaller, simpler Hilbert spaces. Beside the physical motivations for this approach, it could help designing a quantum state space holding the states we need. In [Okołów 2013, arXiv:1304.6330] the description of a theory of Abelian connections within this framework was developed, an important insight being to use building blocks labeled by combinations of edges and surfaces. The present work generalizes this construction to an arbitrary gauge group G (in particular, G is neither assumed to be Abelian nor compact). This involves refining the definition of the label set, as well as deriving explicit formulas to relate the Hilbert spaces attached to different labels. If the gauge group happens to be compact, we also have at our disposal the well-established Ashtekar-Lewandowski Hilbert space, which is defined as an inductive limit using building blocks labeled by edges only. We then show that the quantum state space presented here can be thought as a natural extension of the space of density matrices over this Hilbert space. In addition, it is manifest from the classical counterparts of both formalisms that the projective approach allows for a more balanced treatment of the holonomy and flux variables, so it might pave the way for the development of more satisfactory coherent states.

description: We report the discovery of two new low-mass, thermally bloated, hot white dwarfs among the Kepler sample of eclipsing binaries. These are KIC 9164561 and KIC 10727668 with orbital periods of 1.2670 and 2.3058 days, respectively. The current primary in both systems is an A star of about 2 Msun. This brings the number of similar binaries among the Kepler sample to six, and the two new systems have the shortest orbital periods among them. The white dwarf in KIC 9164561 has the largest thermal bloating, compared to its cold degenerate radius, of about a factor of 14. We utilize RV measurements of the A star in KIC 9164561 to determine the white dwarf mass rather accurately: 0.197 +/- 0.005 Msun. The mass of the white dwarf in KIC 10727668 is based on the Doppler boosting signal in the Kepler photometry, and is less accurately determined to be 0.266 +/- 0.035 Msun. Based on the inferred radii and effective temperatures of these two white dwarfs we are able to make an independent theoretical estimate of their masses to within ~0.01 Msun based on evolutionary models of their cooling history after they lose their hydrogen-rich envelopes. We also present evidence that there is a third body in the KIC 9164561 system with an orbital period of 8-14 years.

description: This paper presents an algorithm for simultaneous localization and map building for a mobile robot moving in an unknown environment. The robot can measure only the bearings to identifiable targets and its own relative motion. The approach is to recursively estimate features of the environment which are invariant to the robot pose in order to decouple the pose error from the map error. The highly nonlinear nature of this problem requires more explicit reasoning about the spatial relationships between landmarks and between the robot and landmarks than those used in previous methods
