description: Gridshells, also called lattice shells or reticulated shells, are lightweight spatial structures. Their organic shape, column-free space, free-form surface and maximised transparency have provided limitless design freedom for architects and structural engineers. The design and manufacturing of structural connections (nodes) have been the bottle neck in the design and construction of gridshells, which is due to their complicated geometries and the three-dimensional loading conditions applying on these nodes. The invention of additive manufacturing (AM) provides the possibility of optimising the nodes by using topology optimisation (TO) algorithms. Instead of rationalising the geometry of the nodes to provide simplified connections for conventional production system, custom-designed connections can be achieved with lower weight and higher accuracy using combination of TO and AM. As a consequence, the optimised nodes help reduce the structure size and foundation requirements which leads to saving in the material cost. Furthermore, other features also make the newly designed nodes promising, such as the aesthetical features, high stiffness, high precision and less labour.

In this study, Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimisation (BESO) techniques are used to minimise the weight and the printing time required for each node. Firstly, the effect of general load cases on the optimised topology of structural node is studied by comparing the optimised results for the nodes under different individual load cases and combined load cases. Furthermore, the effect of the size of the design-domain on the final weight and topology of a node designed by BESO is examined by using different initial sizes. In addition, various smoothing methods for the final geometry are explored and compared with each other. The challenges of using AM in manufacturing nodes are also investigated through 3D printing individual optimised nodes and the optimised nodes for a case study of a prototype gridshell structure. Besides, comparisons made between optimised nodes and conventional nodes show the efficiency of the optimised nodes.

An innovative experimental setup for quasi-static test of nodes under dominant design loads is also proposed in this study. Two nodes are designed and manufactured using BESO and AM to test by a test rig designed based on the proposed setup. In addition, a 3D finite element analysis is conducted, and the numerical model is validated against the test results.

description: The increasing integration of renewable energy resources requires so-called smart grid services for monitoring, control and automation tasks. Simulation environments are vital for evaluating and developing innovative solutions and algorithms. Especially in smart energy systems, we face a variety of heterogeneous simulators representing, e.g., power grids, analysis or control components and markets. The co-simulation framework mosaik can be used to orchestrate the data exchange and time synchronization between individual simulators. So far, the underlying communication infrastructure has often been assumed to be optimal and therefore, the influence of e.g., communication delays has been neglected. This paper presents the first results of the project cosima, which aims at connecting the communication simulator OMNeT++ to the co-simulation framework mosaik to analyze the resilience and robustness of smart grid services, e.g., multi-agent-based services with respect to adaptivity, scalability, extensibility and usability. This facilitates simulations with realistic communication technologies (such as 5G) and the analysis of dynamic communication characteristics by simulating multiple messages. We show the functionality and benefits of cosima in experiments with 50 agents.

description: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are increasingly complex and frequently integrated into modern societies via critical infrastructure systems, products, and services. Consequently, there is a need for reliable functionality of these complex systems under various scenarios, from physical failures due to aging, through to cyber attacks. Indeed, the development of effective strategies to restore disrupted infrastructure systems continues to be a major challenge. Hitherto, there have been an increasing number of papers evaluating cyber-physical infrastructures, yet a comprehensive review focusing on mathematical modeling and different optimization methods is still lacking. Thus, this review paper appraises the literature on optimization techniques for CPS facing disruption, to synthesize key findings on the current methods in this domain. A total of 108 relevant research papers are reviewed following an extensive assessment of all major scientific databases. The main mathematical modeling practices and optimization methods are identified for both deterministic and stochastic formulations, categorizing them based on the solution approach (exact, heuristic, meta-heuristic), objective function, and network size. We also perform keyword clustering and bibliographic coupling analyses to summarize the current research trends. Future research needs in terms of the scalability of optimization algorithms are discussed. Overall, there is a need to shift towards more scalable optimization solution algorithms, empowered by data-driven methods and machine learning, to provide reliable decision-support systems for decision-makers and practitioners.

description: This paper studies the global variation in economic preferences. For this purpose, we present the Global Preference Survey (GPS), an experimentally validated survey dataset of time preference, risk preference, positive and negative reciprocity, altruism, and trust from 80,000 individuals in 76 countries. The data reveal substantial heterogeneity in preferences across countries, but even larger within-country heterogeneity. Across individuals, preferences vary with age, gender, and cognitive ability, yet these relationships appear partly country specific. At the country level, the data reveal correlations between preferences and bio-geographic and cultural variables such as agricultural suitability, language structure, and religion. Variation in preferences is also correlated with economic outcomes and behaviors. Within countries and subnational regions, preferences are linked to individual savings decisions, labor market choices, and prosocial behaviors. Across countries, preferences vary with aggregate outcomes ranging from per capita income, to entrepreneurial activities, to the frequency of armed conflicts.

description: This project researches a new spatial design paradigm for the process of creating unique, sonically derived geometric compositions. The research presents a proposal to diverge from the existing computational measurement and evaluation techniques for sonic design that, while appropriate for analysis of design outcome, do not encourage interactive, creative design to be undertaken with related disciplines.

Current sonic design practices for geometric form rely on the measurement of pre-existing spatial models. These models are typically derived from either an existing known architecture or a visually conceived concept for the creation of sonic space. The process of measurement and computational estimation is then used to prepare an auralisation that provides a simulation of the sonic experience of the space being designed. This positions the sonic comprehension of the design at the final stage of process and places greater emphasis on the computationally derived estimates of subjective experience for interdisciplinary communication.

The research considers the process and precedence of sonic design and proposes a parametric technique that provides a unique, interactive spatial design environment operating in a sonic context. The process is conceptualised in a sonic sketching paradigm of brush, palette and canvas that offers an intuitive interface to design professionals. The evolving conceptual design developed within the spatially realised sonic environment is translated into a visual context by geometric data.

The goal of this research is to investigate the process of creative sonic design to consider an experiential process that enables a more interactive, collaborative foundation for multidisciplinary conceptual development.

description: For decades, cancer research has been focused on understanding the neoplastic transformation of normal cells into cancerous ones from a cell-centric perspective. However, it is increasingly evident that the surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME) is equally important for tumor growth, progression and dissemination.

The TME is a complex system of interplaying elements strongly intertwined with normal processes of the surrounding hosting tissue. Cancerous cells, different types of infiltrating immune cells and resident tissue cells interact with each other and with extracellular matrix components, thus rendering the tumor growth and progression as well as the response to therapy very difficult to anticipate.

Mathematical and computational models may help on describing, explaining and predicting cancer in a new generation of experimental design assisted by computer simulations.

Here we describe an experimental and computational platform developed in collaboration between Vital-IT-SIB and LICR in Lausanne to model the TME and predict response to treatments in specific patients, and to identify potential targets for novel checkpoint blockade therapies.

The platform is based on the integration of experimental information (ex vivo) and mechanistic knowledge from both unperturbed (untreated) and perturbed (treated) tumors in the attempt to simulate the interplay between cancer-driving mechanisms at baseline and the mechanisms of response to single and combined checkpoint blockades. The platform is currently being applied to investigate novel immunotherapies in lung, colorectal and ovarian cancer.

description: Do people blame refugees for negative events? We propose a novel experimental paradigm to measure discrimination in responsibility attribution towards Arabic refugees. Participants in the laboratory experience a positive or negative income shock, which is with equal probability caused by a random draw or another participant's performance in a real effort task. Responsibility attribution is measured by beliefs about whether the shock is due to the other participant's performance or the random draw. We find evidence for reverse discrimination: Natives attribute responsibility more favorably to refugees than to other natives. In particular, refugees are less often held responsible for negative income shocks. Moreover, natives with negative implicit associations towards Arabic names attribute responsibility less favorably to refugees than natives with positive associations. Since neither actual performance differences nor beliefs about natives' and refugees' performance can explain our finding of reverse discrimination, we rule out statistical discrimination as the driving force. We discuss explanations based on theories of self-image and identity concerns.

subject: 330

description: Supporters of left-wing parties typically place more emphasis on redistributive policies than right-wing voters. I investigate whether this difference in tolerating inequality is amplified by suspicious success - achievements that may arise from cheating. Using a laboratory experiment, I exogenously vary cheating opportunities for stakeholders who work on a real effort task and earn money according to their self-reported performances. An impartial spectator is able to redistribute the earnings between the stakeholders, although it is not possible to detect cheating. I find that the opportunity to cheat leads to different views on whether to accept inequality. Left-wing spectators substantially reduce inequality when cheating is possible, while the treatment has no significant effect on choices of right-wing spectators. Since neither differences in beliefs nor differences in norms about cheating can explain this finding, it seems to be driven by a difference in preferences. These results suggest that redistributive preferences will diverge even more once public awareness increases that inequality may be to a certain extent created by cheating.

Regeneration and sustainability of urban cemeteries in the context of Malay burial practices in the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area
Creators: name: Mohamed Afla, Mohamad
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Sustainable development has been widely discussed and debated in the academic world for more than two decades. However, most countries in the Southeast Asia are still in the process of clarifying what sustainability means within the context of urbanisation as well as the sociocultural realm (Roberts and Kanaley, 2006). Rap- id urbanisation and migration of people from rural areas into cities have resulted in many challenges in the management of this urban environment, such as lack of public and green space. This research is particularly addressing the impacts derived from current burial practices in cities. The study focuses on the subject of sustainable burial practices as being performed by people and the management at public cemeteries within the metropolitan area of Kuala Lumpur. The research examines specifically the conventional way of burial practice by the majority of the Muslim population. Unlike other major religions in Southeast Asia, which are more open and flexible in disposing corpses, Islam requires full body burial as mandatory in all cases.

In response to the escalating issues of lack of space and land shortage for the purpose of burial in the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan Area, local authorities are still trying to find the right direction in formulating solutions. This research has recognised factors that led to these problems as well as identifying possible alternatives. In doing so, the research has examined the sustainability aspect of burial that exists in the landscape of urban cemeteries.

This research argues that Muslim funerary culture must be respected and indeed protected, especially given the increasing pressures of urbanisation in Kuala Lumpur. This research is attempting to contribute to the possibilities of regenerating inactive public cemeteries, as well as for their function to be more than just a place to store the dead. The concept of a cemetery park around Kuala Lumpur may promise to counter the problems with abandoned cemeteries. Research has found that local authorities are keen to promote the concept of a cemetery park as an effort to create a livable city. This may result in shifting public perceptions. For example, landscape planning may promote the notion that cemeteries also possess ‘recreational’ value.

In addition, this study provides alternatives in dealing with the spatial issue facing Muslim burial by adopt- ing technical solutions at the subterranean level, as well as the implementation of new burial policies that emphasise the long-term usage of the grave plots.

It is expected that this PhD research will become a valuable resource for the Kuala Lumpur municipal govern- ment as well as stakeholders in urban planning and cemetery design.

description: The most widely studied formation mechanism of a primordial black hole is collapse of large-amplitude perturbation on small scales generated in single-field inflation. In this Letter, we calculate one-loop correction to the large-scale power spectrum in a model with sharp transition of the second slow-roll parameter. We find that models producing an appreciable amount of primordial black holes induce nonperturbative coupling on a large scale probed by cosmic microwave background radiation. Our result implies that a small-scale power spectrum can be constrained by large-scale cosmological observations.

Ein spezieller Teil über die Pannonische Gruppe im Botanischen Garten der Universität Wien hat gezeigt, dass die Schaugruppe seit ihrem Bestehen immer wieder in Bezug auf ihre Zielsetzungen auf Unverständnis stößt, die Pannonischen Gruppe aus diesem Grund hinsichtlich Wahrnehmung und Verständnis seitens der BesucherInnen als verbesserungswürdig erscheint. Um mögliche Ursachen dafür erfassende Hypothesen und Vermutungen überprüfen zu können, wurde eine quantitative Erhebung mittels 180 schriftlichen Befragungen durchgeführt. Die empirische Forschungsmethode konzentrierte sich dabei auf die Zielgruppen „SchülerInnen der Unterstufe“, „SchülerInnen der Oberstufe“ sowie „Allgemeines Publikum“ und erhob neben dem Vorwissen und dem Interesse der ProbandInnen an unterschiedlichen Themenbereichen zu Trockenstandorten die Wahrnehmung und Ästhetik der Schaugruppe. Die Ergebnisse der Befragung zeigen zielgruppenspezifische Trends innerhalb der befragten Themen und ermöglichten so die Erstellung von speziell an die jeweiligen Zielgruppen angepassten didaktischen Konzepten und Materialien. Ziel der Arbeit, insbesondere jedoch der erstellten didaktischen Konzepte und Materialien, soll es sein, bei möglichst vielen BesucherInnen des Botanischen Gartens der Universität Wien eine Sensibilisierung gegenüber dem bedrohten Lebensraum „Trockenstandort“ in Österreich zu erreichen, das Verständnis und die Akzeptanz dafür in der Bevölkerung zu erhöhen, sowie die Wahrnehmung und Ästhetik der Schaugruppe im Botanischen Garten zu verbessern.

description: Recent research in contract theory on the effects of behavioral biases implicitly assumes that they are stable, in the sense of not being affected by the contracts themselves. In this paper, we provide evidence that this is not necessarily the case. We show that in an insurance context, being insured against losses that may be incurred in a real-effort task changes subjects' self-confidence. Our novel experimental design allows us to disentangle selection into insurance from the effects of being insured by randomly assigning coverage after subjects revealed whether they want to be insured or not. We find that uninsured subjects are underconfident while those that obtain insurance have well-calibrated beliefs. Our results suggest that there might be another mechanism through which insurance affects behavior than just moral hazard.

description: We study a family of shuffling operators on the symmetric group $S_n$, which includes the top-to-random shuffle. The general shuffling scheme consists of removing one card at a time from the deck (according to some probability distribution) and re-inserting it at a (uniformly) random position further below. Rewritten in terms of the group algebra $\mathbb{R}[S_n]$, our shuffle corresponds to right multiplication by a linear combination of the elements \[t_i:=\text{cyc}_{i}+\text{cyc}_{i,i+1}+\text{cyc}_{i,i+1,i+2}+\cdots+\text{cyc}_{i,i+1,\ldots,n}\in \mathbb{R}[S_n]\] for all $i\in\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ (where $\text{cyc}_{j_1,j_2,\ldots,j_p}$ stands for a $p$-cycle).
 We compute the eigenvalues of these shuffling operators and of all their linear combinations. In particular, we show that the eigenvalues of right multiplication by a linear combination $λ_1t_1+λ_2t_2+\cdots+λ_nt_n$ are the numbers $λ_1m_{I,1}+λ_2m_{I,2}+\cdots+λ_nm_{I,n}$, where $I$ ranges over the subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n-1\}$ that contain no two consecutive integers; here $m_{I,i}$ are certain integers. We compute the multiplicities of these eigenvalues and show that if they are all distinct, the shuffling operator is diagonalizable. To this purpose, we show that the operators of right multiplication by $t_1,t_2,\ldots,t_n$ on $\mathbb{R}[S_n]$ are simultaneously triangularizable (via a combinatorially defined basis). The results stated here over $\mathbb{R}$ for convenience are actually stated and proved over an arbitrary commutative ring $\mathbf{k}$.
 We finish by describing a strong stationary time for the random-to-below shuffle, which is the shuffle in which the card that moves below is selected uniformly at random, and we give the waiting time for this event to happen.

description: Community structures of phytoplankton populations from the southern portion of the Chesapeake Bight were examined and associated to real and environmental spaces. The sampling design was specifically intended to examine the small scale three dimensional structure of the Chesapeake Bay plume as characterized by its phytoplankton populations. The phytoplankton were sampled at 101 stations, non-synoptically, over a five day period in mid-June, 1980.

Several multivariate numerical techniques were used to determine the relationships between the phytoplankton species distributions and pattern the low salinity plume distribution. A pattern of distribution which approximated the salinity plume resulted from several clustering procedures. Environmental ordination salinity most often co-varied with the phytoplankton community structure shifts. Results of the discriminant analyses revealed the variation in the phytoplankton assemblages was sufficient to classify the stations into the plume and non-plume groups with 100% efficiency. The results suggested the plume effected the phytoplankton community structures within the Chesapeake Bight.

description: Time pressure is a central aspect of economic decision making nowadays. It is therefore natural to ask how time pressure affects decisions, and how to detect individual heterogeneity in the ability to successfully cope with time pressure. In the context of risky decisions, we ask whether a person's performance under time pressure can be predicted by measurable behavior and traits, and whether such measurement itself may be affected by selection issues. We find that the ability to cope with time pressure varies significantly across decision makers, leading to selected subgroups that differ in terms of their observed behaviors and personal traits. Moreover, measures of cognitive ability and intellectual efficiency jointly predict individuals' decision quality and ability to keep their decision strategy under time pressure.

Logit's functional form obtains if relative choice probabilities are independent of irrelevant alternatives and invariant to utility translation, to relabeling options (presentation independence), and to changing utilities of third options (context independence). Reviewing behavioral evidence, presentation and context independence seem to be violated in typical experiments, though not IIA and translation invariance. Relaxing context independence yields contextual logit (Wilcox, 2011), relaxing presentation independence allows to capture "focality" of options.

description: Harnessing the enhanced light-matter coupling and quantum vacuum fluctuations resulting from mode volume compression in optical cavities is a promising route towards functionalizing quantum materials and realizing exotic states of matter. Here, we extend cavity quantum electrodynamical materials engineering to correlated magnetic systems, by demonstrating that a Fabry-Pérot cavity can be used to control the magnetic state of the proximate quantum spin liquid $α$-RuCl$_3$. Depending on specific cavity properties such as the mode frequency, photon occupation, and strength of the light-matter coupling, any of the magnetic phases supported by the extended Kitaev model can be stabilized. In particular, in the THz regime, we show that the cavity vacuum fluctuations alone are sufficient to bring $α$-RuCl$_3$ from a zigzag antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic state. By external pumping of the cavity in the few photon limit, it is further possible to push the system into the antiferromagnetic Kitaev quantum spin liquid state.

title: Monetary Policy Obeying the Taylor Principle Turns Prices Into Strategic Substitutes

description: Monetary policy affects the degree of strategic complementarity in firms pricing decisions if it responds to the aggregate price level. In normal times, when monopolistic competitive firms increase their prices, the central bank raises interest rates, which lowers consumption demand and creates an incentive for firms to reduce their prices. Thereby, monetary policy reduces the degree of strategic complementarities among firms pricing decisions and even turns prices into strategic substitutes if the effect of interest rates on demand is sufficiently strong. We show that this condition holds when monetary policy follows the Taylor principle. By contrast, in a liquidity trap where monetary policy is restricted by the zero lower bound, pricing decisions are strategic complements. Our main contribution consists in relating the determinacy and stability of equilibria to strategic substitutability in prices. We discuss the consequences for dynamic adjustment processes and some policy implications.

Interiorities in oral cultural landscapes: in/between - traditional Irish music and the made landscape of Ireland
Creators: name: Larkin, Steve
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 330102
subject: Architectural design

description: This research makes evident deep connections between two modes of creative practice, traditional Irish music and architecture. It demonstrates inter-connectedness at a practice level and makes evident, on a meta level, insights and meanings, that exist, and are transferable, within each practice domain. The research also positions these two modes practices as a single practice that is situated in, and responds to, physical and oral traditions that have evolved in the Irish cultural landscape.

description: The difficult problem of relating the static structure of glassy liquids and their dynamics is a good target for Machine Learning, an approach which excels at finding complex patterns hidden in data. Indeed, this approach is currently a hot topic in the glassy liquids community, where the state of the art consists in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), which have great expressive power but are heavy models and lack interpretability. Inspired by recent advances in the field of Machine Learning group-equivariant representations, we build a GNN that learns a robust representation of the glass' static structure by constraining it to preserve the roto-translation (SE(3)) equivariance. We show that this constraint significantly improves the predictive power at comparable or reduced number of parameters but most importantly, improves the ability to generalize to unseen temperatures. While remaining a Deep network, our model has improved interpretability compared to other GNNs, as the action of our basic convolution layer relates directly to well-known rotation-invariant expert features. Through transfer-learning experiments displaying unprecedented performance, we demonstrate that our network learns a robust representation, which allows us to push forward the idea of a learned structural order parameter for glasses.

title: Does Ignorance of Economic Returns and Costs Explain the Educational Aspiration Gap? Evidence From Representative Survey Experiments

description: The gap in university enrollment by parental education is large and persistent in many countries. In our representative survey, 74 percent of German university graduates, but only 36 percent of those without a university degree favor a university education for their children. The latter are more likely to underestimate returns and overestimate costs of university. Experimental provision of return and cost information significantly increases educational aspirations. However, it does not close the aspiration gap as university graduates respond even more strongly to the information treatment. Persistent effects in a follow-up survey indicate that participants indeed process and remember the information. Differences in economic preference parameters also cannot account for the educational aspiration gap. Our results cast doubt that ignorance of economic returns and costs explains educational inequality in Germany.
title: Deterministic versus Stochastic Contracts in a Dynamic Principal-Agent Model

subject: 330

description: I show that deterministic dynamic contracts between a principal and an agent are always at least as profitable to the principal as stochastic ones, if the so-called first-order approach in dynamic mechanism design is satisfied. The principal commits, while the agent's type evolution follows a Markov process. My results demonstrate, even when allowing for potential correlation of stochastic contracts across periods that the usual restriction in the literature to deterministic contracts is admissible, as long as the first-order approach is valid.

description: We present the first high performance compiler for very large scale quantum error correction: it translates an arbitrary quantum circuit to surface code operations based on lattice surgery. Our compiler offers an end to end error correction workflow implemented by a pluggable architecture centered around an intermediate representation of lattice surgery instructions. Moreover, the compiler supports customizable circuit layouts, can be used for quantum benchmarking and includes a quantum resource estimator. The compiler can process millions of gates using a streaming pipeline at a speed geared towards real-time operation of a physical device. We compiled within seconds 80 million logical surface code instructions, corresponding to a high precision Clifford+T implementation of the 128-qubit Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT). Our code is open-sourced at \url{https://github.com/latticesurgery-com}.
