Boosting Exploratory Testing of Industrial Automation Systems with AI
Creators: name: Eidenbenz, Raphael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Testing of large and complex industrial control
 systems is challenging as the space of possible input and environmental
 parameters is large. Searching the entire space for
 potential failures is practically infeasible. This paper introduces
 an industrial control system robustness testing problem and
 evaluates artificial intelligence (AI) based strategies to efficiently
 explore the space and to identify parameter sets that can cause
 the system to fail. The proposed solution approach uses regression
 techniques to speed up the search and clustering methods to
 identify parameter sets that represent distinct system failures.

description: Plants encounter many environmental factors such as low and high temperatures during phytoremediation processes. In this study, our aim was to produce the transgenic tobacco plants by using a newly characterized bacterial nitroreductase, Ntr, which was active at a broad range temperature in order to detoxify 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) at lower temperature. The presence of Ntr and its heterologous expression was verified in T1 transgenic plants and their growing ability were determined under toxic amount of 2,4-DNT (35 µM). Fresh weight and dry weight of transgenic plants were significantly higher than wild type (WT) under toxic 2,4-DNT at 22 °C, indicating higher growth capacity of the transgenics. Transgenic plants also showed a higher tolerance than WT when exposed to 2,4-DNT at 15 °C. Moreover, transformation rate of 2,4-DNT was gradually decreased through decreasing temperatures in WT media, however, it was increased through decreasing temperatures in transgenic plant TR3-25 media and it had the highest transformation rate (54%) of 2,4-DNT at 4 °C. Correlatively, 2,4-DNT treatment at 4 °C led to a significant decrease in H2O2 level in transgenic plants. Thus, transgenic plants overexpressing nitroreductase might have an important advantage for phytoremediation of toxic nitroaromatic compounds in field applications at low temperatures.
Nurses' Attitudes Towards Gerontology Care : A Scoping Review
Creators: name: Hickey, Stormee
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: A nursing workforce able to care for our aging population is critical for ensuring quality gerontology care. Nurses’ attitudes towards caring for older adults has been shown to influence nurses’ decisions to pursue a career in gerontology care in addition to influencing quality of care provided to this population. A multitude of studies have examined nurses’ attitudes towards older adults but few have been conducted that examine registered nurses’ attitudes towards caring for older patients. Therefore, the primary purpose of this scoping review was to examine nurses’ attitudes towards caring for older adults. The secondary purpose was to identify factors contributing to nurses’ attitudes towards caring for older adults. Searches were conducted utilizing CINAHL and MEDLINE databases using controlled and open vocabulary. Primary research conducted between 2005 and 2015 pertaining to the research topic was included in this review. A total of eight studies met the inclusion/exclusion criteria of this scoping review and were included in this paper. This scoping review revealed the complexity of nurses’ attitudes towards caring for older adults with mixed positive and negative attitudes emerging. Factors identified as contributing to nurses’ attitudes towards gerontology care included work environment, nursing experience, nurse demographics, culture, and education. The factors identified were complex and at times inconsistent between studies included in this review. Additional research is needed to confirm the relationship between factors such as gender, living situation, culture, work environment and the impact on nurses’ attitudes towards caring for older adults. Implications for nursing practice, research, and education that warrant urgent consideration on behalf of healthcare stakeholders are discussed. Future research to better understand how nurses’ attitudes towards caring for older adults may be positively influenced is necessary for ensuring quality patient care for an aging population.

Η Γαλλία επιλέχθηκε ως η χώρα που θα χτιζόταν το νέο αυτό πάρκο. Όμως, για να μπορέσει να καταστεί αυτό δυνατόν έπρεπε να λάβει υπόψη της τις πολιτισμικές διαφορές των δυο ηπείρων. Οι διαπολιτισμικές ικανότητες αποδείχθηκαν πολύ σημαντικές ώστε αυτή η «μετάφραση» να πραγματοποιηθεί με επιτυχία και να φτιαχτεί ένα πάρκο που θα ήταν οικείο στο νέο κοινό χωρίς να χαθεί η ταυτότητα της εταιρίας. Μέσα από την παρούσα έρευνα θα ερευνηθεί πως προσεγγίστηκε το όλο διαπολιτισμικό εγχείρημα ως περίπτωση μελέτης, χρησιμοποιώντας τη μέθοδο της ανάλυσης περιεχομένου για να αναλύσουμε που βασίζεται η ιδεολογία της εταιρίας, πόσο σημαντικό ρόλο έχει η διαπολιτισμική επικοινωνία για την ίδια και τέλος ποια ήταν η διαπολιτισμική στρατηγική που ακολούθησε κατά τη δημιουργία του πάρκου αλλά και μετά τα πρώτα χρόνια λειτουργίας του ώστε να ανακάμψει από τη ζημία που υπέστη λόγω των λάθος αποφάσεων που πάρθηκαν από την τότε διοίκηση
description: In 1985, Walt Disney decided to expand its theme parks by creating it’s second one outside U.S.A. After Japan, it was time for Europe. France was chosen to be the county where the new park would be built. In order to bring this project in life, they had to take into account the cultural differences between the two continents. The cross-cultural competences proved to be very important for the success of this “cultural translation” which would allow the company to create a park that would be familiar to the new audience without losing the company’s identity. The present research will present how this intercultural project was approached as a case study, using the method of content analysis to analyze the basis of the company’s ideology, how important cultural communication is for its brand and, finally what was the cross cultural strategy which was followed, firstly during the creation of the park, and additionally for the park’s first years of operation in order to recover from the economical damages it suffered due to the wrong decisions taken by the then administration

description: The stress-buffering effects of cotyledonary leaves of Ricinus communis and the protection thus offered to the true leaves upon exposure to copper stress was performed by analyzing bioaccumulation of Cu and associated metabolic processes in the presence and absence of cotyledonary leaves. One-month-old seedlings of R. communis were treated with various concentrations of CuSO4 for 6 d under hydroponics with quarter strength modified Hoagland medium. Even though the photosynthetic pigments showed a decreasing trend with an increase in CuSO4 concentration and days of exposure in cotyledonary and true leaves, it was significant in true leaves with excised cotyledonary leaves. The results of chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters indicated that toxic levels of CuSO4 do not impart any major negative effect on the photochemistry of true leaves along with cotyledonary leaves. The analysis of osmolality, malondialdehyde, and metabolites showed a significantly increasing trend in true leaves with excised cotyledonary leaves. The above observations were strongly supported by higher Cu bioaccumulation in true leaves with excised cotyledonary leaves. The results suggest that the cotyledonary leaves have got the potential to evade Cu toxicity and thereby R. communis can be effectively used for the phytoremediation of Cu contaminated lands.

description: The late stellar evolutionary phases of low and intermediate-mass stars are strongly constrained by their mass-loss rates. The wind surrounding cool evolved stars frequently shows non-spherical features, thought to be due to an unseen companion orbiting the donor star. We study the morphology of the circumbinary envelope, in particular around oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We run a grid of 70 3D hydrodynamics simulations of a progressively accelerating wind propagating in the Roche potential formed by a mass-loosing evolved star in orbit with a main sequence companion. We resolve the flow structure both in the immediate vicinity of the secondary, where bow shocks, outflows and wind-captured disks form, and up to 40 orbital separations, where spiral arms, arcs and equatorial density enhancements develop. When the companion is deeply engulfed in the wind, the lower terminal wind speeds and more progressive wind acceleration around oxygen-rich AGB stars make them more prone than carbon-rich AGB stars to display more disturbed outflows, a disk-like structure around the companion and a wind concentrated in the orbital plane. In these configurations, a large fraction of the wind is captured by the companion which leads to a significant shrinking of the orbit over the mass-loss timescale, if the donor star is at least a few times more massive than its companion. Provided the companion has a mass of at least a tenth of the mass of the donor star, it can compress the wind in the orbital plane up to large distances. Our grid of models covers a wide scope of configurations function of the dust chemical content, the terminal wind speed relative to the orbital speed, the extension of the dust condensation region around the cool evolved star and the mass ratio. It provides a frame of reference to interpret high-resolution maps of the outflows surrounding cool evolved stars.

description: Cadmium contamination is a global concern because of its widespread nature of polluting both biotic and abiotic components of ecosystem. Though many natural, chemical/synthetic components have been researched for remediation of cadmium, development of an eco-friendly, economic biosorbent still remains a challenge. Deoiled palm kernel cake (DOPC), a byproduct from palm-oil mills was investigated in the present study for its cadmium remediating capacity. DOPC was immobilized using sodium alginate polymer and biosorption studies were carried out using DOPC as adsorbent for removal of cadmium. Research revealed biosorption potential of DOPC and the optimum conditions for maximum biosorption of cadmium have been identified as 120 min of contact time, 150 rpm of agitation speed, pH 6 and 15 mg/L of initial cadmium concentration. Maximum percentage of adsorption was 99% by using 1.5 g/100 ml of adsorbent. The adsorption equilibrium data Biosorbent was characterized before and after adsorption by FTIR which showed the involvement of carboxyl, hydroxyl and amino-groups. Statement of novelty Cadmium pollution and the leading environmental problems is a global concern. Despite various attempts for development of different matrices for remediation of cadmium from contaminated samples, application of deoiled palm kernel cake (DOPC) as a biosorbent is not being explored. Present study provides quantitative data relating the richness of phytochemical repertoire DOPC possess, its resulting radical scavenging potential and its applications as an efficient, eco-friendly and economic alternative as a biosorbent matrix material for cadmium bio-remediation.

description: The Message Passing Interface standard (MPI) is currently the most common programming model deployed by the HPC community to parallelise a wide range of applications in computational science and engineering for distributed memory architectures. We build on a previous in-depth study of the performance of a range of Gigabit Ethernet MPI implementations and switches using the synthetic MPI benchmark IMB. This paper is essentially an appendix to that study, and presents results from benchmarks of a further three typical 1U Gigabit switches deployed in ‘plug and play’ mode, along with an enhanced method for analysing the significant amounts of data produced, which aims to accurately capture performance and summarise findings in a more digestible format.

description: The majority of biotech research and almost all of the commercialization of genetically engineered crops has been done by private firms based in industrialized countries. The dominance of the private sector in biotechnology research and product development has raised concern in developing countries that their farmers ' particularly poor farmers ' may not benefit from biotechnology either because it is not available or is too expensive. This paper examines the consequences of the emergence of a few large companies as the leaders in the commercialization of biotechnology and analyses a number of concerns about who benefits from biotech research. It reviews the status of crop biotechnology research worldwide and analyses the influence of intellectual property rights and market concentration on the development and diffusion of new technology. The paper explores the potential of public-private partnerships recommends policy measures and investments that could focus more biotechnology research on the problems of the poor and alleviate some of the concerns about the impacts of biotechnology. This paper was prepared as background material for the 2003 issue of The State of Food and Agriculture, which has the theme 'Agricultural Biotechnology: Meeting the Needs of the Poor?' Several companion papers are also available in the ESA Working Paper series.

description: The spin-1/2 Heisenberg kagome antiferromagnet is one of the paradigmatic playgrounds for frustrated quantum magnetism, with an extensive number of competing resonating valence bond (RVB) states emerging at low energies, including gapped and gapless spin liquids and valence bond crystals. Here we revisit the crossover from this quantum RVB phase to a semiclassical regime brought about by anisotropic Kitaev interactions, and focus on the precise mechanisms underpinning this crossover. To this end, we introduce a simple parametrization of the classical ground states (GSs) in terms of emergent Ising-like variables, and use this parametrizaton: i) to construct an effective low-energy description of the order-by-disorder mechanism operating in a large part of the phase diagram, and ii) to contrast, side by side, exact diagonalization data obtained from the full basis with that obtained from the restricted (orthonormalized) basis of classical GSs. The results reveal that fluctuation corrections from states outside the restricted basis are strongly quenched inside the semiclassical regime (due to the large anisotropy spin gaps), and that the RVB phase survives up to a relatively large value of Kitaev anisotropy $K$. We further find that the pure Kitaev model admits a subextensive number of one-dimensional symmetries, which explains naturally the absence of classical and quantum order by disorder reported previously.

description: Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is a process to investigate and analyze the operational performance of a green building in its occupancy phase, which compared the performance with predefined benchmarks such as predicted design goal, typical standard, and performance of similar buildings, etc. The process enable stakeholders of the building to learn design lessons, to identify concerns that need to be addressed, and provide feedback and knowledge to the green building industry. There are two components associated with Post Occupancy Evaluation - the building performance and building occupants. POE involves both qualitative methods such as occupant feedback and quantitative methods such as measuring energy use, indoor environment quality factors etc. to assess a building. Currently, there are several indicators and methodologies used to assess the two components of POE such as SB tool developed by iiSBE , CBE’s occupant IEQ survey ASHRAE building assessment guidelines, ISO Standards, SpEAR developed by Arup, BOMA BEST etc. The research team has set out to explore a number of different post occupancy evaluation schemes with the objective of identifying the right tool to be applied to CIRS. This report involves identifying the different assessment tools for the different building phases and types. It then moves on to identify the best standards to be used for post occupancy evaluation. Analysis is done on the best standards to identify strengths and weaknesses for each. Finally, a suitable set of indicators to assess the performance of a building is recommended.

description: We show that finite size scaling techniques can be employed to study the glass transition. Our results follow from the postulate of a diverging correlation length at the glass transition whose physical manifestation is the presence of dynamical heterogeneities. We introduce a parameter B(T,L) whose temperature, T, and system size, L, dependences permit a precise location of the glass transition. We discuss the finite size scaling behaviour of a diverging susceptibility χ(L,T). These new techniques are successfully used to study two lattice models. The analysis straightforwardly applies to any glass-forming system.

description: Software architectures are comprised by a number of components of various types, connected through their interfaces according to a specific set of coordinating rules. We encode these relations using interaction logics, as well as weighted interaction logics in order to describe their quantitative features. In this study, we investigate weighted propositional interaction logics over semirings derived from De Morgan algebras, and therefore incorporating negation. After giving the definitions of unweighted Propositional Interaction Logic and First-Order Interaction Logic, we define the syntax and semantics of our logic, called Multi-valued Extended Propositional Interaction Logic, continuing with the corresponding Multi-valued First-Order Interaction Logic. We present the specific results emanated by the use of negation and we show the translation from multi-valued logic formulas to multi-valued automata

description: We theoretically study thermal transport in an electronic interferometer comprising a parallel circuit of two quantum dots, each of which has a tunable single electronic state which are connected to two leads at different temperature.As a result of quantum interference, the heat current through one of the dots is in the opposite direction to the temperature gradient. An excess heat current flows through the other dot. Although locally, heat flows from cold to hot, globally the second law of thermodynamics is not violated because the entropy production associated with heat transfer through the whole device is still positive. The temperature gradient also induces a circulating electrical current, which makes the interferometer magnetically polarized.

description: We have analyzed the Far Ultraviolet Spectrocopic Explorer (FUSE) spectra of two U Gem-Type dwarf novae, SS Aur and RU Peg, observed 28 days and 60 days (respectively) after their last outburst. In both systems the FUSE spectra (905 - 1182 A) reveal evidence of the underlying accreting white dwarf exposed in the far UV. Our grid of theoretical models yielded a best-fitting photosphere to the FUSE spectra with Teff=31,000K for SS Aur and Teff=49,000K for RU Peg. This work provides two more dwarf nova systems with known white dwarf temperatures above the period gap where few are known. The absence of CIII (1175 A) absorption in SS Aur and the elevation of N above solar suggests the possibility that SS Aur represents an additional accreting white dwarf where the surface C/N ratio derives from CNO processing. For RU Peg, the modeling uncertainties prevent any reliable conclusions about the surface abundances and rotational velocity.

description: By comparing two age indicators of high-mass white dwarfs derived from Gaia data, two discoveries have been made recently: one is the existence of a cooling anomaly that produces the Q branch structure on the Hertzsprung--Russell diagram, the other is the existence of double-white-dwarf merger products. The former poses a challenge for white dwarf cooling models, and the latter has implications on binary evolution and type-Ia supernovae.

description: This paper examines the economic determinants and impacts of agricultural research, particularly biotechnology research, with a view to understanding the potential of agricultural biotechnology to address the needs of the poor in developing countries. It surveys public and private agricultural research in developed and developing countries since the green revolution and discusses the public goods nature of much agricultural research. Unlike the research that launched the green revolution, agricultural biotechnology research is primarily being conducted by private firms in industrialized countries to address problems of temperate-zone commercial agriculture. These differences have important implications for the development and diffusion of new technologies to meet the needs of the poor. This paper was prepared as background material for the 2003 issue of The State of Food and Agriculture, which has the theme 'Agricultural Biotechnology: Meeting the Needs of the Poor?' Several companion papers are also available in the ESA Working Paper series.

A consequence of local equilibration and heterogeneity in glassy materials

description: The existence of a generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem observed in simulations and experiments performed in various glassy materials is related to the concepts of local equilibration and heterogeneity in space. Assuming the existence of a dynamic coherence length scale up to which the system is locally equilibrated, we extend previous generalizations of the FDT relating static to dynamic quantities to the physically relevant domain where asymptotic limits of large times and sizes are not reached. The formulation relies on a simple scaling argument and has thus not the character of a theorem. Extensive numerical simulations support this proposition. Our results quite generally apply to systems with slow dynamics, independently of the space dimensionality, the chosen dynamics, or the presence of disorder.

Dynamical mean-filed approximation to small-world networks of spiking neurons: From local to global, and/or from regular to random couplings

description: By extending a dynamical mean-field approximation (DMA) previously proposed by the author [H. Hasegawa, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 67}, 41903 (2003)], we have developed a semianalytical theory which takes into account a wide range of couplings in a small-world network. Our network consists of noisy $N$-unit FitzHugh-Nagumo (FN) neurons with couplings whose average coordination number $Z$ may change from local ($Z \ll N $) to global couplings ($Z=N-1$) and/or whose concentration of random couplings $p$ is allowed to vary from regular ($p=0$) to completely random (p=1). We have taken into account three kinds of spatial correlations: the on-site correlation, the correlation for a coupled pair and that for a pair without direct couplings. The original $2 N$-dimensional {\it stochastic} differential equations are transformed to 13-dimensional {\it deterministic} differential equations expressed in terms of means, variances and covariances of state variables. The synchronization ratio and the firing-time precision for an applied single spike have been discussed as functions of $Z$ and $p$. Our calculations have shown that with increasing $p$, the synchronization is {\it worse} because of increased heterogeneous couplings, although the average network distance becomes shorter. Results calculated by out theory are in good agreement with those by direct simulations.

description: Atriplex halimus grows in humid and saline warm regions of Mediterranean area showing high adaptability but less information is available on resistance to chilling temperatures. Potted plants of five clones (MAR1, GIO1, SAN3, PAL1, and FAN3) were cultivated during 30 months in four localities (Oristano, Tempio, Sassari, and Villasor). Every 6 months, leaves, stems and roots of plants were the object of mineral composition analysis (N, P, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn). During the experiment, air temperature was recorded and hour degrees sums calculated for thresholds ranging from 0 °C to 35 °C. Leaves showed highest content of all elements, with the exception of iron. Plants showed ability to accumulate mineral elements in a synergic or antagonistic way. Accumulation of chilling hour degrees positively correlated with calcium in leaves and stems, and with manganese in the whole plant. Sodium in leaves, instead, was favored by high temperatures, which are unfavorable to nitrogen accumulation in roots. Magnesium accumulation in leaves and roots enhanced with moderately high temperatures. Two of the tested clones (GIO1 and SAN3) showed a relative low adaptability to the coldest conditions. The other three clones provided better performances with the best behavior of PAL1.

description: This paper provides an assessment of the potential for smallholder agroforestry projects to be competitive in markets for carbon emission reduction credits, and explores the ways in which smallholder participation in such markets may be facilitated. The paper begins with an overview of the issue of global warming and the role of carbon sinks in mitigating climate change. Then an economic model of the carbon emission reduction (CER) market is presented, which includes the impact of transactions costs. An in-depth survey of the economic literature on transactions costs and their implications in the design of markets for CER follows. An assessment of the emission abatement and transaction costs likely to be associated with smallholder agroforestry projects is presented, based on case study information from Latin America and Indonesia. The paper concludes with policy recommendations on how to design carbon sequestration projects to benefit smallholders and suggests institutional reforms that will be necessary for reducing the transactions costs associated with smallholder participation in the market. The paper also includes a detailed annex with information on carbon sequestration projects involving smallholders that are already under implementation.

description: WTe$_2$ is a multifunctional quantum material exhibiting numerous emergent phases in which tuning of the carrier density plays an important role. Here we demonstrate two non-monotonic changes in the electronic structure of WTe$_2$ upon \textit{in-situ} electron doping. The first phase transition is interpreted in terms of a shear displacement of the top WTe$_2$ layer, which realizes a local crystal structure not normally found in bulk WTe$_2$. The second phase transition is associated with stronger interactions between the dopant atoms and the host, both through hybridization and electric field. These results demonstrate that electron-doping can drive structural and electronics changes in bulk WTe$_2$ with implications for realizing nontrivial band structure changes in heterointerfaces and devices.

description: This study investigates the relationship between nutrition intake and economic growth as an attempt to provide useful insights for FAO's Anti-Hunger Programme. It addresses the question of how much economic growth is lost by a country that has undernourished people. Real per capita gross domestic product (GDP), physical capital, protein intake, the openness index and the student'teacher ratio are investigated. The study uses vector autoregressions (VARs) to assess the long-run equilibrium relationship between nutrition intake and economic growth, and impulse response functions to reveal the short-run dynamics. The study's first major finding is that a 1 percent increase in protein intake will increase GDP by 0.49 percent in the long run. When this is applied at the sample mean, an increase of 176 g of protein intake per capita per year will cause an increase in real per capita GDP of 269 Sri Lanka rupees (SLRs). Therefore, a 1 percent increase in real per capita GDP is associated with a 2 percent increase in protein intake in the long run. In addition, impulse response functions reveal the short-run dynamics of real per capita GDP, protein intake and physical capital. These dynamics show that GDP responds to protein innovations relatively quickly. This rapid response of GDP is attributed to the contemporaneous productivity shock, as well as to an improvement in the quality of human capital. These results support FAO's twin-track approach to the fight against hunger. The results confirm that efforts to improve food security can have a direct impact on assisting the poor in the fight against hunger. Furthermore, it can be argued that food security has both a direct (short-term) and an indirect (sustainable) impact on economic growth.
