description: A new detection system KRATTA, Kraków Triple Telescope Array, is presented. This versatile, low threshold, broad energy range system has been built to measure the energy, emission angle, and isotopic composition of light charged reaction products. It consists of 38 independent modules which can be arranged in an arbitrary configuration. A single module, covering actively about 4.5 msr of the solid angle at the optimal distance of 40 cm from the target, consists of three identical, 0.500 mm thick, large area photodiodes, used also for direct detection, and of two CsI(1500 ppm Tl) crystals of 2.5 and 12.5 cm length, respectively. All the signals are digitally processed. The lower identification threshold, due to the thickness of the first photodiode, has been reduced to about 2.5 MeV for protons (~0.065 mm of Si equivalent) by applying a pulse shape analysis. The pulse shape analysis allowed also to decompose the complex signals from the middle photodiode into their ionization and scintillation components and to obtain a satisfactory isotopic resolution with a single readout channel. The upper energy limit for protons is about 260 MeV. The whole setup is easily portable. It performed very well during the ASY-EOS experiment, conducted in May 2011 at GSI. The structure and performance of the array are described using the results of Au+Au collisions at 400 MeV/nucleon obtained in this experiment.

description: Throughout the last decades, more and more attention in academics and practice has been given to ‘social’ topics such as community involvement, active citizenship, commoning processes. Considering this trend, it is possible to notice an abuse of these terms, contributing to the ‘social washing’ and feeding the risk of instrumentalisation. Starting from the analysis of the state of the art and comparing two cases, the paper aims to evaluate the outcomes of neglected sites recycling with socially innovative initiatives. At the centre of the debate are social enterprises, non-profit entities whose ambition is to create social benefits and new economic solutions for a better use of local resources over time. Considering this purpose, the research investigated the European scenario of Southern Italy, characterised by demographic transition and youth migration. The research adopted qualitative, quantitative and comparative methods. The two cases analysed and compared are Periferica of Mazara del Vallo and ExFadda of San Vito dei Normanni. Both are the result of local resources reactivation and youth entrepreneurship policies. These creative centres are managed by social enterprises. Their actions and activities affect the places producing social, economic, cultural and spatial impacts. However, behind these initiatives lies the soft power, a power able to shape people perceptions through culture. The research illustrates the process outcomes and evaluates its positive and negative impacts to the site and its surroundings. In conclusion, the research is conceived as a contribution to the body of knowledge and the basis for future researches and practical models for the socially innovative recycling of disused resources in urban–rural context. © The Author(s) 2019.

description: The LISA phase measurement system (PMS) will provide interferometric phase readout of the primary heterodyne signal at microcycle sensitivity, ranging measurements at sub-meter accuracy and data communication at rates of several kilobits per seconds. Our investigations are focused on inter-spacecraft laser ranging and data transfer for LISA using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DS/SS) modulation onto the laser links. We present the setup of an optical experimental to test the levels of performance achievable with a single laser link as well as a new hardware prototype based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) processing to perform high-accuracy phase readout of the optical signal, ranging measurements, data communication and is suitable for clock noise demodulation and digital laser-phase locking.

Two-dimensional intra-band solitons in lattice potentials with local defects and self-focusing nonlinearity

description: It is commonly known that stable bright solitons in periodic potentials, which represent gratings in photonics/plasmonics, or optical lattices in quantum gases, exist either in the spectral semi-infinite gap (SIG) or in finite bandgaps. Using numerical methods, we demonstrate that, under the action of the cubic self-focusing nonlinearity, defects in the form of "holes" in two-dimensional (2D) lattices support continuous families of 2D solitons \textit{embedded} into the first two Bloch bands of the respective linear spectrum, where solitons normally do not exist. The two families of the \textit{embedded defect solitons} (EDSs) are found to be continuously linked by the branch of \textit{gap defect solitons} (GDSs) populating the first finite bandgap. Further, the EDS branch traversing the first band links the GDS family with the branch of regular defect-supported solitons populating the SIG. Thus, we construct a continuous chain of regular, embedded, and gap-mode solitons ("superfamily") threading the entire bandgap structure considered here. The EDSs are stable in the first Bloch band, and partly stable in the second. They exist with the norm exceeding a minimum value, hence they do not originate from linear defect modes. Further, we demonstrate that double, triple and quadruple lattice defects support stable dipole-mode solitons and vortices.

description: Context: OB stars are important in the chemistry and evolution of the Universe, but the sample of targets well understood from an asteroseismological point of view is still too limited to provide feedback on the current evolutionary models. Our study extends this sample with two spectroscopic binary systems. AIMS. Our goal is to provide orbital solutions, fundamental parameters and abundances from disentangled high-resolution high signal-to-noise spectra, as well as to analyse and interpret the variations in the Kepler light curve of these carefully selected targets. This way we continue our efforts to map the instability strips of beta Cep and SPB stars using the combination of high-resolution ground-based spectroscopy and uninterrupted space-based photometry. Methods: We fit Keplerian orbits to radial velocities measured from selected absorption lines of high-resolution spectroscopy using synthetic composite spectra to obtain orbital solutions. We use revised masks to obtain optimal light curves from the original pixel-data from the Kepler satellite, which provided better long term stability compared to the pipeline processed light curves. We use various time-series analysis tools to explore and describe the nature of variations present in the light curve. Results: We find two eccentric double-lined spectroscopic binary systems containing a total of three main sequence B-type stars (and one F-type component) of which at least one in each system exhibits light variations. The light curve analysis (combined with spectroscopy) of the system of two B stars points towards the presence of tidally excited g modes in the primary component. We interpret the variations seen in the second system as classical g mode pulsations driven by the kappa mechanism in the B type primary, and explain the unexpected power in the p mode region as a result of nonlinear resonant mode excitation.

description: A generalised probabilistic framework is proposed for reliability assessment and uncertainty quantification under a lack of data. The developed computational tool allows the effect of epistemic uncertainty to be quantified and has been applied to assess the reliability of an electronic circuit and a power transmission network. The strength and weakness of the proposed approach are illustrated by comparison to traditional probabilistic approaches. In the presence of both aleatory and epistemic uncertainty, classic probabilistic approaches may lead to misleading conclusions and a false sense of confidence which may not fully represent the quality of the available information. In contrast, generalised probabilistic approaches are versatile and powerful when linked to a computational tool that permits their applicability to realistic engineering problems.
Hidden relationship between the electrical conductivity and the Mn 2p core-level photoemission spectra in La1-xSrxMnO3

description: Core-level electronic structure of La1-xSrxMnO3 has been studied by x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). We first report, by the conventional XPS, the well-screened shoulder structure in Mn 2p3/2 peak, which had been observed only by hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy so far. Multiple-peak analysis revealed that the Mn4+ spectral weight was not proportional to the nominal hole concentration x, indicating that a simple Mn3+/Mn4+ intensity ratio analysis may result in a wrong quantitative elemental analysis. Considerable weight of the shoulder at x=0.0 and the fact that the shoulder weight was even slightly going down from x=0.2 to 0.4 were not compatible with the idea that this weight simply represents the metallic behavior. Further analysis found that the whole Mn 2p3/2 peak can be decomposed into four portions, the Mn4+, the (nominal) Mn3+, the shoulder, and the other spectral weight located almost at the Mn3+ location. We concluded that this weight represents the well-screened final state at Mn4+ sites, whereas the shoulder is known as that of the Mn3+ states. We found that the sum of these two spectral weight has an empirical relationship to the conductivity evolution with x.

description: Efficient and economic guidance of inland vessels relies on a continuous, available, reliable and precise GNSS navigation solution. Hence, below other side effects, this is especially critical when passing beneath bridges or similar infrastructures that cross waterways. They have two effects: distortion (reflection, diffraction and interruption) of the incoming GNSS signal by the individual bridge structure on the one hand and along with that, the affected ambiguity resolution for carrier phase observation on the other hand. Thus, disturbances, discontinuities and jumps in the position estimates are present - an extreme critical situation especially for safety-relevant applications. A multi-antenna system for marine applications combined with the concept of a virtual receiver will be presented. This approach strengthen the overall geometry of visible GNSS satellites immediately, and provides continuous position estimates even for challenging passages. Furthermore, a bridging of observations between two or more antennas on a known rigid platform reduces signal interruptions and provides continuous navigation solution under challenging or even critical environmental conditions. Laboratory experiments, driven on a 2,5 hour turn from Hannover on the Mittelland Canal on the inland vessel MS Jenny (MS Science) prove, that various DOP values as well as noise of the position solution are reduced significantly. The observation noise is reduced by up to 0.3-0.4m whereby the position solution for a code based navigation reaches up to 94.5% w.r.t. classical single point positioning. The overall positioning performance is improved by up to 80%.

description: Measurement of multiple quantum devices on a single chip increases characterization throughput and enables testing of device repeatability, process yield, and systematic variations in device design. We present a method that uses on-chip field-effect transistor switches to enable multiplexed cryogenic measurements of double quantum dot Si/SiGe devices. Multiplexing makes it feasible to characterize a number of devices that scales exponentially with the number of external wires, a key capability given the significant constraints on cryostat wiring currently in common use. We use this approach to characterize three nominally identical quantum-point contact channels, enabling comparison of their threshold voltages for accumulation and their pinch-off voltages during a single cool-down of a dilution refrigerator.
title:  Reverse Decision Making and Goal Attainment A Proof of Concept as a New Approach to the Decision Making Process Under Uncertainty
Creators: name: Sabne, Shitalkumar S.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Decision making occurs when one must choose among alternatives. However, in uncertain environments where problems are complex and decision makers lack complete knowledge of the situation as well as decision alternatives, it's not possible for them to select an optimal decision outcome by 'Traditional Decision Approaches'. At present Reverse Decision Making is the central, although new and unproved, approach of Old Dominion University's Engineering Management and Systems Engineering research on decision making process for uncertain and complex situations. Even though research in decision making spans over one hundred years, there are still important problems which remain to be addressed.

There is still no universally accepted explanation on how people make decisions in uncertain environments in practice. Secondly, no sound method exists to find the exact process of decision making under uncertainty that illustrates how people perceive outcomes and take action to attain those outcomes in complex situations. This research proposes an approach called Reverse Decision Making (RDM). RDM proposes that in dynamic and consistently changing complex situations (1) initial decisions based on desired outcomes and their perceived feasibility and (2) that the sequence of actions taken to attain the desired outcome is continuously altered based on the decision makers confidence level of attaining the outcome at a given point in time where this perceived feasibility or confidence is influenced by either positive or negative input from the environment and the ability to take action to mitigate these influences. In this model it is postulated that when confidence drops below an acceptable threshold or the desire to attain an outcome dissipates, the decision makers shift to a new decision alternative.

An experimental study is conducted to validate components of the RDM model. The results are analyzed showing how decision makers under uncertain situations perceive outcomes and how the sequence of events affects their confidence level and decision path towards their desired goal. The results suggest that decision making in uncertain conditions can be explained by the RDM construct.

description: This study explores the data discovery contexts and selection criteria used by clinical trials researchers to reuse open clinical trials and related health data. The research examines the connections between how researchers initiate personal data journeys and follow managed processes of data selection criteria. A mixed-method approach within the post-positivist research paradigm was adopted. The methods of survey and in-depth interview were used to elicit the contexts of data discovery within the information-seeking processes of 17 purposively sampled participants. Our findings suggest that researchers use a diverse set of selection criteria to assess the relevance and usability of datasets depending on the search contexts. We identified shared data attributes, and the information considered most important in properly selecting or using a dataset. We have examined the relationships between different contexts of data discovery and their respective selection criteria. Our findings show that it is crucial to prioritize the information needs of users when selecting and using datasets. Data repositories need to specify their system design objectives in line with meeting user information needs. This could be achieved by enhancing the index and search interface with data variables, such as clinical metrics of outcome measures and methods, thereby making it easier for users to select and use datasets that align with their research needs.

description: This paper describes a concept to obtain a continuous navigation and position solution of inland vessels based on a multi-GNSS antenna system. Also known as, “Virtual Receiver” we utilize this approach as an alternative method with respect to a common dead reckoning procedure. Such an approach strengthens the geometry of visible GNSS satellites immediatelyby up to 50%. At the same time, dilution of precision values improve by up to 40%. Hence, continuous navigation solution under difficult and challenging environmental conditions improves or is even possible. Specific experiments, obtained on a trip from Hannover westward on the Mittelland Canal with the inland vessel “MS Jenny” prove that various quality measures as well as the noise of the position estimates reduce significantly by up to 0.4 m. The position availability for code based navigation reaches 94.5% w.r.t classical single point positioning with 77%.

description: This work presents a semantic map management approach for various environments by triggering multiple maps with different simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) configurations. A modular map structure allows to add, modify or delete maps without influencing other maps of different areas. The hierarchy level of our algorithm is above the utilized SLAM method. Evaluating laser scan data (e.g. the detection of passing a doorway) triggers a new map, automatically choosing the appropriate SLAM configuration from a manually predefined list. Single independent maps are connected by link-points, which are located in an overlapping zone of both maps, enabling global navigation over several maps. Loop- closures between maps are detected by an appearance-based method, using feature matching and iterative closest point (ICP) registration between point clouds. Based on the arrangement of maps and link-points, a topological graph is extracted for navigation purpose and tracking the global robot's position over several maps. Our approach is evaluated by mapping a university campus with multiple indoor and outdoor areas and abstracting a metrical-topological graph. It is compared to a single map running with different SLAM configurations. Our approach enhances the overall map quality compared to the single map approaches by automatically choosing predefined SLAM configurations for different environmental setups.

description: In this paper we propose a framework for task allocation in human-robot collaborative assembly planning. Our framework distinguishes between two main layers of abstraction and allocation. In the higher layer we use an abstract world model, incorporating a multi-agent human-robot team approach in order to describe the collaborative assembly planning problem. From this, nominal coordinated skill sequences for every agent are produced. In order to be able to treat humans and robots as agents of the same form, we move relevant differences/peculiarities into distinct cost functions. The layer beneath handles the concrete skill execution. On atomic level, skills are composed of complex hierarchical and concurrent hybrid state machines, which in turn coordinate the real-time behavior of the robot. Their careful design allows to cope with unpredictable events also on decisional level without having to explicitly plan for them, instead one may rely also on manually designed skills. Such events are likely to happen in dynamic and potentially partially known environments, which is especially true in case of human presence. © 2017 IEEE

description: In this work, we present a novel concept for a gas chromatography detector utilizing an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization which is initialized by a dielectric barrier discharge. In general, such a detector can be simple and low-cost, while achieving extremely good limits of detection. However, it is non-selective apart from the use of chemical dopants. Here, a demonstrator manufactured entirely from fused silica capillaries and printed circuit boards is shown. It has a size of 75 × 60 × 25 mm3 and utilizes only 2W of power in total. Unlike other known discharge detectors, which require high-purity helium, this detector can theoretically be operated using any gas able to form stable ion species. Here, purified air is used. With this setup, limits of detection in the low parts-per-billion range have been obtained for acetone.

description: Corona discharge ionization sources are often used in ion mobility spectrometers (IMS) when a non-radioactive ion source with high ion currents is required. Typically, the corona discharge is followed by a reaction region where analyte ions are formed from the reactant ions. In this work, we present a simple yet sufficiently accurate model for predicting the ion current available at the end of this reaction region when operating at reduced pressure as in High Kinetic Energy Ion Mobility Spectrometers (HiKE-IMS) or most IMS-MS instruments. It yields excellent qualitative agreement with measurement results and is even able to calculate the ion current within an error of 15%. Additional interesting findings of this model are the ion current at the end of the reaction region being independent from the ion current generated by the corona discharge and the ion current in High Kinetic Energy Ion Mobility Spectrometers (HiKE-IMS) growing quadratically when scaling down the length of the reaction region.

description: Measuring a mixture of acetone and perdeuterated acetone (acetone-d6) with an ultra-high resolution drift time ion mobility spectrometer (resolving power of Rp = 235) and ultraviolet ionization (10.6 eV) at ambient pressure reveals three separated peaks. Two of the peaks can easily be associated with acetone and perdeuterated acetone. In a former publication several findings indicated an exchange of a methyl group and the formation of a H3COCD3 related peak. In this work the formed ion species were analyzed with a high resolution drift time ion mobility time of flight mass spectrometer. The mass spectra clearly show the formation of three proton-bound dimer peaks whereas the peak between acetone and acetone-d6 is a proton-bound mixed dimer consisting of one acetone and one acetone-d6 molecule.

description: A multi-transition survey of HCN (sub-) millimeter line emission from a large sample of AGB stars of different chemical type is presented. The data are analysed and circumstellar HCN abundances are estimated. The sample stars span a large range of properties such as mass-loss rate and photospheric C/O-ratio. The analysis of the new data allows for more accurate estimates of the circumstellar HCN abundances and puts new constraints on chemical models. In order to constrain the circumstellar HCN abundance distribution a detailed non-LTE excitation analysis, based on the Monte Carlo method, is performed. Effects of line overlaps and radiative excitation from dust grains are included. The median values for the derived abundances of HCN (with respect to H2) are 3x10-5, 7x10-7 and 10-7 for carbon stars (25 stars), S-type AGB stars (19 stars) and M-type AGB stars (25 stars), respectively. The estimated sizes of the HCN envelopes are similar to those obtained in the case of SiO for the same sample of sources and agree well with previous results from interferometric observations, when these are available. We find that there is a clear dependence of the derived circumstellar HCN abundance on the C/O-ratio of the star, in that carbon stars have about two orders of magnitude higher abundances than M-type AGB stars, on average. The derived HCN abundances of the S-type AGB stars have a larger spread and typically fall in between those of the two other types, however, slightly closer to the values for the M-type AGB stars. For the M-type stars, the estimated abundances are much higher than what would be expected if HCN is formed in thermal equilibrium. However, the results are also in contrast to predictions from recent non-LTE chemical models, where very little difference is expected in the HCN abundances between the various types of AGB stars.

description: Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) from package NeuroShell 2 are applied for modeling of dayside magnetopause. The model data set is based on the magnetopause crossings and on the corresponding hour-averaged measurements of solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field. ANN model represents 3D shape and size of the dayside magnetopause in dependence on solar wind dynamic pressure, Bz and By components of interplanetary magnetic field. The model permits firstly to describe dynamics of the magnetic cusp and global asymmetry of the dayside magnetopause under wide range of the external conditions. Slightly change of the magnetopause size with change of By absolute value is presented quantitatively in the form of analytical expression. ANN model shows three regimes of the magnetopause dynamics that controlled by Bz component: pressure balance regime (Bz>0 nT), reconnection regime (0>Bz>-10 nT) and regime of reconnection saturation (Bz

description: We consider various systematic ways of defining unbounded operator valued integrals of complex functions with respect to (mostly) positive operator measures and positive sesquilinear form measures, and investigate their relationships to each other in view of the extension theory of symmetric operators. We demonstrate the associated mathematical subtleties with a physically relevant example involving moment operators of the momentum observable of a particle confined to move on a bounded interval.

description: In this letter, we introduce the concept of an artificial Robot Nervous System (aRNS) as a novel way of unifying multimodal physical stimuli sensation with robot pain-reflex movements. We focus on the formalization of robot pain, based on insights from human pain research, as an interpretation of tactile sensation. Specifically, pain signals are used to adapt the equilibrium position, stiffness, and feedforward torque of a pain-based impedance controller. The schemes are experimentally validated with the KUKA LWR4+ for simulated and real physical collisions using the BioTac sensor.

description: We have observed a large as well as path-dependent spontaneous exchange bias (H$_{SEB}$) ($\sim$30-60 mT) in a nanocomposite of BiFeO$_3$-Bi$_2$Fe$_4$O$_9$ across 5-300 K when it is measured in an unmagnetized state following zero-field cooling and appropriate demagnetization. The path dependency yields a variation in the exchange bias depending on the sign of the starting field and the path followed in tracing the hysteresis loop. The asymmetry thus observed - $Δ$H$_{SEB}$ - is found to be decreasing nonmonotonically across 5-300 K with a peak around 200 K. The $Δ$H$_{SEB}$ together with large H$_{SEB}$ could have significant ramification in tuning the exchange bias driven effects and consequent applications.

description: Рассматривается тенденция художественного развития русской литературы в ситуации пересмотра романтической эстетической концепции. Направленность творческих исканий в русской литературе второй трети XIX века представляется как движение от модуса выражения к модусу воплощения, за которым стоит критическое отношение к базовым положениям светской культуры. В результате, в формирующейся художественной модели отличительное и изменяющееся (выразительное), выступая в своем кризисном значении, обнаруживают себя как среду бессловесности, стремящуюся вернуться к словесному началу.
An analytical model for the optimum drift voltage of drift tube ion mobility spectrometers with respect to resolving power and detection limits

description: One of the key experimental parameters of measurements using a drift tube ion mobility spectrometer is the drift voltage applied across its length, as it governs a multitude of processes during the ion drift. While the effect of the drift voltage on the resolving power has already been well-described, only little attention has been paid so far to developing an equally sophisticated model for the effect on the limits of detection. In this work, we extend our previous model for the resolving power and signal-to-noise-ratio of a drift tube ion mobility spectrometer operated at the resolving power optimal drift voltage to arbitrary drift voltages. It is shown that the deviation from this operating point can be completely described for any drift tube by using only the dimensionless factor β, which is defined as the ratio between the applied drift voltage and the resolving power optimal drift voltage. From these general equations, it can be shown that the signal-to-noise-ratio and therefore the limits of detection vary much more significantly with changing drift voltage than the resolving power. Thus, it is possible to apply a higher than resolving power optimal drift voltage to lower the limits of detection with only a slight loss of resolving power. E.g., a 47.5 % higher drift voltage is able to halve the limits of detection, but yields only 8 % resolving power loss.

title: Emotional Intelligence and Its Potential in Engineering Management
Creators: name: Toepfer, Jesse Ray
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Assuming that the modern connotation of Emotional Intelligence (El) took shape with Wayne Leon Payne's 1986 dissertation, A Study of Emotion: Developing Emotional Intelligence, Self-Integration, Relating to Fear, Pain, and Desire, EI is nearing its thirtieth birthday. Relatively speaking, EI is still very young, and there are a handful of researchers who are still trying to explore and define El. Significant efforts have been made to develop the concept of EI, and the ramifications of EI on an individual's professional performance.

Often more technical and exacting in nature, the field of engineering management exhibits many aspects that are unique relative to other types of management. This thesis has three objectives: (1) To present a summary backdrop for the major underpinnings of EI; (2) To create a means to determine the potential that EI could have in the field of engineering management; and (3) To discuss the current direction of EI in the field of engineering management.

The hypothesis of this thesis is: There is little to no evidence that would suggest EI has the potential to benefit the field of engineering management.

The objectives of this thesis were accomplished by conducting a thorough review of the relevant philosophies of ontology, the psychological aspects of emotional intelligence, the physiology of emotions and intelligence, as well as a literature review concerning the leading theories and practical applications of El. For the purposes of this thesis, the concepts of leadership and management are discussed, and the field of engineering management is defined.

A unique methodology is prescribed in Section 7 which lays out a formula to assess the potential that EI might have in specific engineering management applications. Six examples are given, which lend credence to the rejection of the hypothesis. That is to say, the research will show that there are clear opportunities for EI to benefit the field of engineering management.
Loop-deformed Poincaré algebra

description: In this essay we present evidence suggesting that loop quantum gravity leads to deformation of the local Poincaré algebra within the limit of high energies. This deformation is a consequence of quantum modification of effective off-shell hypersurface deformation algebra. Surprisingly, the form of deformation suggests that the signature of space-time changes from Lorentzian to Euclidean at large curvatures. We construct particular realization of the loop-deformed Poincaré algebra and find that it can be related to curved momentum space, which indicates the relationship with recently introduced notion of relative locality. The presented findings open a new way of testing loop quantum gravity effects.
