subject: Automation and technology in building and construction

description: This thesis introduces an intelligent tool for construction quality control using 3D point cloud recognition, artificial intelligence, and BIM-based mixed reality. It aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of quality control of light gauge steel framing (LGSF) system in industrialised construction. By using synthetic BIM data and as-built mixed reality captures, neural networks were trained to identify the types of structural elements accurately. The output is then used to determine the position and dimension of each structural element. The practical value lies in automating construction quality control, which enhances progress monitoring and supports better decision-making, contributing to the digitisation of the construction industry.

description: Pretrained language models are generally acknowledged to be able to encode syntax [Tenney et al., 2019, Jawahar et al., 2019, Hewitt and Manning, 2019]. In this article, we propose UPOA, an Unsupervised constituent Parsing model that calculates an Out Association score solely based on the self-attention weight matrix learned in a pretrained language model as the syntactic distance for span segmentation. We further propose an enhanced version, UPIO, which exploits both inside association and outside association scores for estimating the likelihood of a span. Experiments with UPOA and UPIO disclose that the linear projection matrices for the query and key in the self-attention mechanism play an important role in parsing. We therefore extend the unsupervised models to few-shot parsing models (FPOA, FPIO) that use a few annotated trees to learn better linear projection matrices for parsing. Experiments on the Penn Treebank demonstrate that our unsupervised parsing model UPIO achieves results comparable to the state of the art on short sentences (length <= 10). Our few-shot parsing model FPIO trained with only 20 annotated trees outperforms a previous few-shot parsing method trained with 50 annotated trees. Experiments on cross-lingual parsing show that both unsupervised and few-shot parsing methods are better than previous methods on most languages of SPMRL [Seddah et al., 2013].

description: The robust determination of the threshold against fatigue crack propagation ΔKth is of paramount importance in fracture mechanics based fatigue assessment procedures. The standards ASTM E647 and ISO 12108 introduce operational definitions of ΔKth based on the crack propagation rate da/dN and suggest linear fits of logarithmic ΔK– da/dN test data to calculate ΔKth. Since these fits typically suffer from a poor representation of the actual curvature of the crack propagation curve, a method for evaluating ΔKth using a nonlinear function is proposed. It is shown that the proposed method reduces the artificial conservativeness induced by the evaluation method as well as the susceptibility to scatter in test data and the influence of test data density.

description: Ceramides are a type of fat influenced by diet. While certain ceramide species accumulate, in obesity, to cause organ damage, others are beneficial to organ health and metabolism. Many research efforts have focused on how ceramides impact the liver as it coordinates fat transport around the body. The intestine is, however, the first organ to take up different fats from the diet. This thesis investigates the consequences of a fatty diet which drives the production of detrimental ceramides. Furthermore, boosting the production of protective ceramides, in the gut, is found to be a new way to improve diet-induced metabolic dysfunction.

description: Relevant recommendation is a special recommendation scenario which provides relevant items when users express interests on one target item (e.g., click, like and purchase). Besides considering the relevance between recommendations and trigger item, the recommendations should also be diversified to avoid information cocoons. However, existing diversified recommendation methods mainly focus on item-level diversity which is insufficient when the recommended items are all relevant to the target item. Moreover, redundant or noisy item features might affect the performance of simple feature-aware recommendation approaches. Faced with these issues, we propose a Feature Disentanglement Self-Balancing Re-ranking framework (FDSB) to capture feature-aware diversity. The framework consists of two major modules, namely disentangled attention encoder (DAE) and self-balanced multi-aspect ranker. In DAE, we use multi-head attention to learn disentangled aspects from rich item features. In the ranker, we develop an aspect-specific ranking mechanism that is able to adaptively balance the relevance and diversity for each aspect. In experiments, we conduct offline evaluation on the collected dataset and deploy FDSB on KuaiShou app for online A/B test on the function of relevant recommendation. The significant improvements on both recommendation quality and user experience verify the effectiveness of our approach.

pädagogisches Konzept

description: Eine essenzielle Schlüsselkompetenz für eine erfolgversprechende Sozialisierung ist das Lesen. Alle Voraussetzungen für die Lesekompetenz werden bereits in den ersten Lebensjahren durch soziale Interaktionen im familiären Umfeld geprägt. Daher ist es wichtig, Bezugspersonen von kleinen Kindern frühzeitig darüber in Kenntnis zu setzen, wie sie die sprachliche Entwicklung ihrer Kinder positiv beeinflussen können. Eine passende Fördermethode stellt das Dialogische Lesen nach Whitehurst et al. (1988) dar, bei dem nicht das Vorlesen im Vordergrund steht, sondern der interaktive Dialog zwischen Kind und Erwachsenen.Internationale Studien konnten aufzeigen, dass das Dialogische Lesen einen förderlichen Einfluss auf die kindliche Sprachentwicklung hat. Die zentrale Frage der Bachelorarbeit, wie diese Wirksamkeit und die Anwendung von Dialogischem Lesen für die sprachliche Frühförderung an Bezugspersonen von Kleinkindern im Alter von ein bis vier Jahren zu vermitteln sei, wird mit einem pädagogischen Konzept beantwortet. In diesem werden theoretische Exzerpte zum Dialogischen Lesen präsentiert und mit praktischen Tipps verknüpft. Es werden Online- aber auch Offlinemedienformate vorgestellt, mit denen Bezugspersonen von Kleinkindern über den Nutzen und die Umsetzung des Dialogischen Lesens informiert werden können. Dazu zählen beispielsweise Websites oder Flyer.Die theoretische Grundlage des Konzepts besteht aus einer systematische Literaturanalyse. Dabei wird zunächst das Dialogische Lesen erklärt und dessen Anwendungstechniken beschrieben. Im Weiteren werden die Effizienz des Dialogischen Lesens dargelegt, die Kriterien für die geeignete Bilderbuchauswahl erläutert und die Rolle des familiären Umfelds für die sprachliche Frühförderung beleuchtet. Am Ende werden passende Plattformen vorgeschlagen, welche die Konzeptinhalte an die Zielgruppe in der deutschsprachigen Schweiz verbreiten könnten.

description: We derive a singular solution for the rotating counterpart of Lee-Wick gravity having a point source in a higher-derivative theory. We critically analyze the thermodynamics of such a thermal system by evaluating mass parameters, angular velocity, and Hawking temperature. The system follows the first law of thermodynamics and leads to the expression of entropy. We further discuss the stability and phase transition of the theory by evaluating heat capacity and free energy. The phase transition occurs at the point of divergence and the temperature is maximum. Remarkably, the black hole is unstable for a small horizon radius and stable for a large horizon radius.

description: Event cameras are bio-inspired sensors that perform well in challenging illumination conditions and have high temporal resolution. However, their concept is fundamentally different from traditional frame-based cameras. The pixels of an event camera operate independently and asynchronously. They measure changes of the logarithmic brightness and return them in the highly discretised form of time-stamped events indicating a relative change of a certain quantity since the last event. New models and algorithms are needed to process this kind of measurements. The present work looks at several motion estimation problems with event cameras. The flow of the events is modelled by a general homographic warping in a space-time volume, and the objective is formulated as a maximisation of contrast within the image of warped events. Our core contribution consists of deriving globally optimal solutions to these generally non-convex problems, which removes the dependency on a good initial guess plaguing existing methods. Our methods rely on branch-and-bound optimisation and employ novel and efficient, recursive upper and lower bounds derived for six different contrast estimation functions. The practical validity of our approach is demonstrated by a successful application to three different event camera motion estimation problems.

description: Light exposure impacts our sleep, health and cognitive performance - including impulsivity. Both the quality of the light and the individual sensitivity of a person may influence the effect light has on impulsivity. This thesis examined the relationship between light, light sensitivity, and impulsivity. It was found that individuals who are more sensitive to light tend to act impulsively under extreme emotions but show greater cognitive control during non-emotion-based tasks. Additionally, exposure to blue light significantly reduced sensitivity to loss, increasing gambling behaviour. Understanding the relationship between light and impulsivity offers new insights into interventions to reduce impulsive behaviours.

description: We fit a new line shape model to \textit{Chandra} X-ray spectra of the O supergiant $ζ$ Puppis to test the robustness of mass-loss rates derived from X-ray wind line profiles against different assumed heating models. Our goal is to track the hot gas by replacing the common assumption that it is proportional to the cool gas emission measure. Instead of assuming a turn-on radius for the hot gas (as appropriate for the line-deshadowing instability internal to the wind), we parametrize the hot gas in terms of a mean-free path for accelerated low-density gas to encounter slower high-density material. This alternative model is equally successful as previous approaches at fitting X-ray spectral lines in the 5 -- 17 Å wavelength range. We find that the characteristic radii where the hottest gas appears is inversely proportional to line formation temperature, suggesting that stronger shocks appear generally closer to the surface. This picture is more consistent with pockets of low-density, rapid acceleration at the lower boundary than with an internally generated wind instability. We also infer an overall wind mass-loss rate from the profile shapes with a technique used previously in the literature. In doing so, we find evidence that the mass-loss rate derived from X-ray wind line profiles is not robust with respect to changes in the specific heating picture used.

Weiter wird untersucht, welche Entwicklungen bezüglich der Kommunikationsteilhabe während einer 9-monatigen Therapiezeitspanne zu beobachten sind.Dies erfolgt durch ein Mixed-Method Design, in dem sowohl qualitative als auch quantitative Methoden zum Einsatz kommen. Die teilnehmende Beobachtung der Therapeutin/Autorin sowie halb-strukturierte Interviews mit der Kindsmutter und einer Bezugsperson der Kindertagesstätte bildeten die Grundlage für eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse. Ergänzt wurde diese durch eine quantitativ ausgewertete Befragung einer Echogruppe von 48 Logopädiestudierenden mittels Darbietung von Videosequenzen. Sowohl die qualitativen als auch die quantitativen Analysen zeigten eine deutliche positive Veränderung in allen untersuchten Variablen auf (Stimmlautstärke, durchschnittliche Äusserungslänge, ausschliesslich nonverbale Kommunikation, kommunikative Responsivität).Die durchgeführten Therapiemethoden auf Basis der Dortmunder Mutismustherapie (DortMut; u.a. Safe Place, Arbeit mit Puppen und Übergangsobjekten, Symbol- und Rollenspiele, Umdrehen der Hierarchie) werden beschrieben und kritisch reflektiert. Gelingende Ideen und Vorgehensweisen für die therapeutische Praxis bei selektiv mutistischen Kindern im Frühbereich werden diskutiert.

description: A {\em total coloring} of a graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to the vertices and the edges of $G$ such that every pair of adjacent/incident elements receive distinct colors. The {\em total chromatic number} of a graph $G$, denoted by $\chiup''(G)$, is the minimum number of colors in a total coloring of $G$. The well-known Total Coloring Conjecture (TCC) says that every graph with maximum degree $Δ$ admits a total coloring with at most $Δ+ 2$ colors. A graph is {\em $1$-toroidal} if it can be drawn in torus such that every edge crosses at most one other edge. In this paper, we investigate the total coloring of $1$-toroidal graphs, and prove that the TCC holds for the $1$-toroidal graphs with maximum degree at least~$11$ and some restrictions on the triangles. Consequently, if $G$ is a $1$-toroidal graph with maximum degree $Δ$ at least~$11$ and without adjacent triangles, then $G$ admits a total coloring with at most $Δ+ 2$ colors.

This equals 957’000 days of volunteering, for 17’700 projects released. 957’000 days of contributions equals 3’800 people working full time during a year. 3800 people developing 17’000 projects means each project must be realized by a person in < 3 month. Imagine these 154’000 people transform into one living organism. What could we dream this ‘super-body’ could achieve? The model presented replicates how the body works: as little information as needed (vs information overload): each person closely interacts with 14 people. coordinated work across teams (vs waste of resources): every individual contributes to one congruent whole. Leaders can rely on autonomous teams to support them. Individuals support each other to be part of a meaningful whole. There is a feeling of belonging, and projects sustain.

description: We summarize the current status on constraining the density dependence of the symmetry energy from terrestrial laboratory measurements and astrophysical observations. While the value $E_{sym}({ρ_{0}})$ and density slope $L$ of the symmetry energy at saturation density $ρ_{0}$ can vary largely depending on the data or methods, all the existing constraints are essentially consistent with $E_{sym}({ρ_{0}}) = 31 \pm 2$ MeV and $L = 50 \pm 20$ MeV. The determination of the supra-saturation density behavior of the symmetry energy remains a big challenge.

description: An {\em acyclic edge coloring} of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring such that the subgraph induced by any two color classes is a linear forest (an acyclic graph with maximum degree at most two). The {\em acyclic chromatic index} $\chiup_{a}'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least number of colors needed in an acyclic edge coloring of $G$. Fiamčík (1978) conjectured that $\chiup_{a}'(G) \leq Δ(G) + 2$, where $Δ(G)$ is the maximum degree of $G$. This conjecture is well known as Acyclic Edge Coloring Conjecture (AECC). A graph $G$ with maximum degree at most $κ$ is {\em $κ$-deletion-minimal} if $\chiup_{a}'(G) > κ$ and $\chiup_{a}'(H) \leq κ$ for every proper subgraph $H$ of $G$. The purpose of this paper is to provide many structural lemmas on $κ$-deletion-minimal graphs. By using the structural lemmas, we firstly prove that AECC is true for the graphs with maximum average degree less than four (\autoref{NMAD4}). We secondly prove that AECC is true for the planar graphs without triangles adjacent to cycles of length at most four, with an additional condition that every $5$-cycle has at most three edges contained in triangles (\autoref{NoAdjacent}), from which we can conclude some known results as corollaries. We thirdly prove that every planar graph $G$ without intersecting triangles satisfies $\chiup_{a}'(G) \leq Δ(G) + 3$ (\autoref{NoIntersect}). Finally, we consider one extreme case and prove it: if $G$ is a graph with $Δ(G) \geq 3$ and all the $3^{+}$-vertices are independent, then $\chiup_{a}'(G) = Δ(G)$.

description: A {\em strong edge coloring} of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring in which every color class is an induced matching. The {\em strong chromatic index} $\chiup_{s}'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors in a strong edge coloring of $G$. In this note, we improve a result by D{\k e}bski \etal [Strong chromatic index of sparse graphs, arXiv:1301.1992v1] and show that the strong chromatic index of a $k$-degenerate graph $G$ is at most $(4k-2) \cdot Δ(G) - 2k^{2} + 1$. As a direct consequence, the strong chromatic index of a $2$-degenerate graph $G$ is at most $6Δ(G) - 7$, which improves the upper bound $10Δ(G) - 10$ by Chang and Narayanan [Strong chromatic index of 2-degenerate graphs, J. Graph Theory 73 (2013) (2) 119--126]. For a special subclass of $2$-degenerate graphs, we obtain a better upper bound, namely if $G$ is a graph such that all of its $3^{+}$-vertices induce a forest, then $\chiup_{s}'(G) \leq 4 Δ(G) -3$; as a corollary, every minimally $2$-connected graph $G$ has strong chromatic index at most $4 Δ(G) - 3$. Moreover, all the results in this note are best possible in some sense.

description: We perform direct numerical simulations of an unstably stratified turbulent channel flow to address the effects of buoyancy on the boundary layer dynamics and mean field quantities. We systematically span a range of parameters in the space of friction Reynolds number ($Re_τ$) and Rayleigh number ($Ra$). Our focus is on deviations from the logarithmic law of the wall due to buoyant motion. The effects of convection in the relevant ranges are discussed providing measurements of mean profiles of velocity, temperature and Reynolds stresses as well as of the friction coefficient. A phenomenological model is proposed and shown to capture the observed deviations of the velocity profile in the log-law region from the non-convective case.

description: We study real rational models of the euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ up to isomorphisms and up to birational diffeomorphisms. The analogous study in the compact case, that is the classification of real rational models of the real projective plane $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^2$ is well known: up to birational diffeomorphisms, there is only one model. A fake real plane is a nonsingular affine surface defined over the reals with homologically trivial complex locus and real locus diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^2$ but which is not isomorphic to the real affine plane. We prove that fake planes exist by giving many examples and we tackle the question: does there exist fake planes whose real locus is not birationally diffeomorphic to the real affine plane?

description: A graph $H$ is said to be {\em light} in a family $\mathfrak{G}$ of graphs if at least one member of $\mathfrak{G}$ contains a copy of $H$ and there exists an integer $λ(H, \mathfrak{G})$ such that each member $G$ of $\mathfrak{G}$ with a copy of $H$ also has a copy $K$ of $H$ such that $°_{G}(v) \leq λ(H, \mathfrak{G})$ for all $v \in V(K)$. In this paper, we study the light graphs in the class of graphs with small average degree, including the plane graphs with some restrictions on girth.

description: Subset currents on hyperbolic groups were introduced by Kapovich and Nagnibeda as a generalization of geodesic currents on hyperbolic groups, which were introduced by Bonahon and have been successfully studied in the case of the fundamental group $π_1 (Σ)$ of a compact hyperbolic surface $Σ$. Kapovich and Nagnibeda particularly studied subset currents on free groups. In this article, we develop the theory of subset currents on $π_1(Σ)$, which we call subset currents on $Σ$. We prove that the space $\mathrm{SC}(Σ)$ of subset currents on $Σ$ is a measure-theoretic completion of the set of conjugacy classes of non-trivial finitely generated subgroups of $π_1 (Σ)$, each of which geometrically corresponds to a convex core of a covering space of $Σ$. This result was proved by Kapovich-Nagnibeda in the case of free groups, and is also a generalization of Bonahon's result on geodesic currents on hyperbolic groups. We will also generalize several other results of them. Especially, we extend the (geometric) intersection number of two closed geodesics on $Σ$ to the intersection number of two convex cores on $Σ$ and, in addition, to a continuous $\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$-bilinear functional on $\mathrm{SC}(Σ)$.

description: The weight of a subgraph $H$ in $G$ is the sum of the degrees in $G$ of vertices of $H$. The {\em height} of a subgraph $H$ in $G$ is the maximum degree of vertices of $H$ in $G$. A star in a given graph is minor if its center has degree at most five in the given graph. Lebesgue (1940) gave an approximate description of minor $5$-stars in the class of normal plane maps with minimum degree five. In this paper, we give two descriptions of minor $5$-stars in plane graphs with minimum degree five. By these descriptions, we can extend several results and give some new results on the weight and height for some special plane graphs with minimum degree five.

description: The star chromatic index of a multigraph $G$, denoted $χ'_{s}(G)$, is the minimum number of colors needed to properly color the edges of $G$ such that no path or cycle of length four is bi-colored. A multigraph $G$ is star $k$-edge-colorable if $χ'_{s}(G)\le k$. Dvořák, Mohar and Šámal [Star chromatic index, J Graph Theory 72 (2013), 313--326] proved that every subcubic multigraph is star $7$-edge-colorable, and conjectured that every subcubic multigraph should be star $6$-edge-colorable. Kerdjoudj, Kostochka and Raspaud considered the list version of this problem for simple graphs and proved that every subcubic graph with maximum average degree less than $7/3$ is star list-$5$-edge-colorable. It is known that a graph with maximum average degree $14/5$ is not necessarily star $5$-edge-colorable. In this paper, we prove that every subcubic multigraph with maximum average degree less than $12/5$ is star $5$-edge-colorable.

Multi-Stage Pattern Reduction in Lossless Image Compression

pattern reduction

description: Lossless image compression is the process of compressing and subsequently decompressing images without the loss of data. Historically, image compression was carried out by treating images as complex text [13]. Only in recent years have images been treated as data collections that could be processed for compression and decompression in a manner unique to images [1]. Even the best modern lossless image compression techniques, however, yield less than desirable results [5]. The biggest drawback for lossless image compression is that images can only be reduced to about one-third of their original image size. Lossy image compression algorithms, i.e., those techniques for compressing image size where image information is lost upon decompression, are capable of reducing images to one tenth of their actual size with little or no humanly perceptual loss in image detail.

Multi-stage pattern reduction is an emerging approach for encoding data that has recently demonstrated efficient processing in the field of natural-language processing. It relies on the ability to discern small local patterns in a source, recreating a new source using these local patterns and then reapplying the technique over multiple stages. In this thesis, the value of using multi-stage pattern reduction to compress images will be explored. The goal of this thesis is to create a lossless image compression algorithm by employing the techniques of multi-stage pattern reduction and to determine if such an approach can provide better compression on average than the current major competing algorithms in the field.
