description: Malaysia ist eines der wenigen Länder der Dritten Welt, in denen noch heute eine parlamentarisch-demokratische Verfassung gilt. Die für die Zukunft des Landes wichtigen Debatten finden jedoch heute weder im Parlament noch in den politischen Parteien statt. Die Regierungskoalition der Nationalen Front ist seit der Unabhängigkeit des Landes 1957 ununterbrochen an der Macht; im Bundesparlament verfügt die Koalition über mehr als 80 % der Sitze und kann nach Gutdünken die Verfassung ändern (eine Möglichkeit, von der sie auch häufig genug Gebrauch macht). Soziale Probleme, die als Folge der Industrialisierungspolitik der letzten Jahre aufgetreten sind, Demokratie, Menschenrechte und die Rolle der Religion in der Gesellschaft werden heute von Gruppierungen außerhalb des Parteienspektrums zur Diskussion gestellt. Die bekannteste dieser Gruppierungen ist ALIRAN, das "soziale Gewissen der Nation". Einhard Schmidt sprach mit Dr. Chandra Muzaffar, dem Vorsitzenden von ALIRAN.

description: In the BCI field, introspection and interpretation of brain signals are desired for providing feedback or to guide rapid paradigm prototyping but are challenging due to the high noise level and dimensionality of the signals. Deep neural networks are often introspected by transforming their learned feature representations into 2- or 3-dimensional subspace visualizations using projection algorithms like Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP). Unfortunately, these methods are computationally expensive, making the projection of data streams in real-time a non-trivial task. In this study, we introduce a novel variant of UMAP, called approximate UMAP (aUMAP). It aims at generating rapid projections for real-time introspection. To study its suitability for real-time projecting, we benchmark the methods against standard UMAP and its neural network counterpart parametric UMAP. Our results show that approximate UMAP delivers projections that replicate the projection space of standard UMAP while decreasing projection speed by an order of magnitude and maintaining the same training time.

title: Population Ecology of Lasius Flavus F. on Chalk Grassland
Creators: name: Wright, Philip John
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 1990

description: Lasius flavus F. is a common ant species on chalk grasslands in the south of England. This thesis examines the effects of the management regimes and environmental conditions of these grasslands, on the characteristics of the ant populations. The null hypothesis of the study was that the characteristics of L. flavus populations are not significantly affected by variation in: 1) management procedures, 2) the physical environment, 3) the bioLogical environment. The ant populations, management regimes and environmental characteristics of twenty sample areas were investigated and subjected to intensive analysis to examine this hypothesis. The null hypothesis was rejected. The population of ants that an area of chalk grassland supports, depends on both the management of that area and the environmental conditions. In the short term (2 to 4 years) more intense management leads to significant reductions in the sizes of the soiL mounds built by the ant colonies, and reductions in the sexual productivity and sexual investment ratios of the colonies. In the longer term (over 10 years) the density of mounds is also reduced. The most important environmental characteristic of the grasslands is the soil water regime. Drier areas support a lower density of colonies with smaller mounds. The numbers of root aphids (the major food source of the ant) are reduced by increased grazing intensity. Other invertebrate groups are also affected by the management regime and the physical environment of the sample areas. It is suggested that increased grazing pressure and lower soil water contents reduce the productivity of chalk grassland and the abundance of soil invertebrates. This reduces the abundance of the food sources of the ants. The information gained from this study is used to suggest a management plan for the establishment and conservation of dense populations of L. flavus on chalk grasslands.

description: Neural networks have increasingly influenced people's lives. Ensuring the faithful deployment of neural networks as designed by their model owners is crucial, as they may be susceptible to various malicious or unintentional modifications, such as backdooring and poisoning attacks. Fragile model watermarks aim to prevent unexpected tampering that could lead DNN models to make incorrect decisions. They ensure the detection of any tampering with the model as sensitively as possible.However, prior watermarking methods suffered from inefficient sample generation and insufficient sensitivity, limiting their practical applicability. Our approach employs a sample-pairing technique, placing the model boundaries between pairs of samples, while simultaneously maximizing logits. This ensures that the model's decision results of sensitive samples change as much as possible and the Top-1 labels easily alter regardless of the direction it moves.

description: We consider Maxwell theory on a non-spin manifold. Depending on the choice of statistics for line operators, there are three non-anomalous theories and one anomalous theory with different symmetry fractionalizations. We establish the gauging maps that connect the non-anomalous theories by coupling them to a discrete gauge theory. We also construct topological interfaces associated with $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ duality and gauging of electric and magnetic one-form symmetries. Finally, by stacking the topological interfaces, we compose various kinds of duality defects, which lead to non-invertible symmetries of non-spin Maxwell theories.

The transition form factors corresponding to $B_c^+ \to D^{(*)+}$ and $B_c^+ \to D_s^{(*)+}$ are computed in the entire $q^2$ range. Using form factors, we compute the branching fractions and compare them with the available theoretical results. We also compute various physical observables such as forward-backward asymmetry, longitudinal and transverse polarizations as well as clean angular observables.

description: True random numbers are essential in various research and engineering problems. Their generation depends upon a robust physical entropy noise. Here, we present true random number generation by harnessing the conductance noise probed in structurally metastable 1T' molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2). The noise, well-fitting a Poisson process, is proved a robust physical entropy noise at low and even cryogenic temperatures. Noise characteristic analysis suggests the noise may originate from the polarization variations of the underlying ferroelectric dipoles in 1T' MoTe2. We demonstrate the noise allows for true random number generation, enabling their use as seed for generating high-throughput secure random numbers exceeding 1 Mbit/s, appealing for practical applications in, for instance, cryptography where data security is now a severe issue. As an example, we show biometric information safeguarding in neural networks by using the random numbers as mask, proving a promising data security measure in big data and artificial intelligence.

description: A new efficient approach for searching three-body periodic equal-mass collisionless orbits passing through Eulerian configuration is presented. The approach is based on a symmetry property of the solutions at the half period. Depending on two previously established symmetry types on the shape sphere, each solution is presented by one or two distinct initial conditions (one or two points in the search domain). A numerical search based on Newton's method on a relatively coarse search grid for solutions with relatively small scale-invariant periods $T^{*}<70$ is conducted. The linear systems at each Newton's iteration are computed by high order high precision Taylor series method. The search produced 12,431 initial conditions (i.c.s) corresponding to 6,333 distinct solutions. In addition to passing through the Eulerian configuration, 35 of the solutions are also free-fall ones. Although most of the found solutions are new, all linearly stable solutions among them (only 7) are old ones. Particular attention is paid to the details of the high precision computations and the analysis of accuracy. All i.c.s are given with 100 correct digits.

description: Intrinsic thermal fluctuations within a real solid challenge the rigid body assumption that is central to Euler's equations for the motion of a free body. Recently, we have introduced a dissipative and stochastic version of Euler's equations in a thermodynamically consistent way (European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids 103, 105184 (2024)). This framework describes the evolution of both orientation and shape of a free body, incorporating internal thermal fluctuations and their concomitant dissipative mechanisms. In the present work, we demonstrate that, in the absence of angular momentum, the theory predicts that principal axis unit vectors of a body undergo an anisotropic Brownian motion on the unit sphere, with the anisotropy arising from the body's varying moments of inertia. The resulting equilibrium time correlation function of the principal eigenvectors decays exponentially. This theoretical prediction is confirmed in molecular dynamics simulations of small bodies. The comparison of theory and equilibrium MD simulations allow us to measure the orientational diffusion tensor. We then use this information in the Stochastic Dissipative Euler's Equations, to describe a non-equilibrium situation of a body spinning around the unstable intermediate axis. The agreement between theory and simulations is excellent, offering a validation of the theoretical framework.

description: Multi-head self-attention (MSA) is a key component of Vision Transformers (ViTs), which have achieved great success in various vision tasks. However, their high computational cost and memory footprint hinder their deployment on resource-constrained devices. Conventional pruning approaches can only compress and accelerate the MSA module using head pruning, although the head is not an atomic unit. To address this issue, we propose a novel graph-aware neuron-level pruning method, Structured Neuron-level Pruning (SNP). SNP prunes neurons with less informative attention scores and eliminates redundancy among heads. Specifically, it prunes graphically connected query and key layers having the least informative attention scores while preserving the overall attention scores. Value layers, which can be pruned independently, are pruned to eliminate inter-head redundancy. Our proposed method effectively compresses and accelerates Transformer-based models for both edge devices and server processors. For instance, the DeiT-Small with SNP runs 3.1$\times$ faster than the original model and achieves performance that is 21.94\% faster and 1.12\% higher than the DeiT-Tiny. Additionally, SNP combine successfully with conventional head or block pruning approaches. SNP with head pruning could compress the DeiT-Base by 80\% of the parameters and computational costs and achieve 3.85$\times$ faster inference speed on RTX3090 and 4.93$\times$ on Jetson Nano.

description: Thermometry based on magnetic resonance has been extensively studied due to its important application in biomedical imaging. In our previous work, we showed that the spin-spin relaxation time (T2) of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in water is a highly sensitive thermometer as T2 scales with the highly temperature-sensitive self-diffusion constant of water. In this work, in addition to temperature dependent self-diffusion constant of a fluid, we utilize the temperature dependent magnetization of 4 nm SPIONs to improve T2 sensitivity (4.96) by 1.4 times over self-diffusion (3.48) alone in hexane between 248 K and 333 K. To extend the application of NMR T2 thermometry to engineering systems, we also investigate the temperature dependence of T2 in mineral oil (Thermo Scientific, J62592), which exhibits remarkably high sensitivity (11.62) between 273 K and 353 K. This result implies that applications of NMR T2 thermometry in heat transfer fluids are promising. NMR thermometry, however, is generally not applicable to solids. Therefore, we also evaluate the potential of electron spin resonance (ESR) thermometry with SPIONs in solids between 100 K and 290 K, for potential temperature monitoring in biomedical and engineering applications. The size and concentration effects on ESR signals are studied systematically, and our results show that the temperature dependent linewidth follows a T^-2 law for 4 nm SPIONs, while the concentration of SPIONs has no impact on the temperature dependence of the ESR linewidth. The linewidth at room temperature at 9.4 GHz is 10.5 mT. Combining our NMR and ESR results, we find that to obtain higher temperature sensitivity in a magnetic resonance technique using SPIONs, SPION with a small magnetic moment, i.e., a small volume and reduced magnetization, are beneficial.

description: Background: The cell wall polymer lignin provides structural support and rigidity to plant cell walls, and therefore to the plant body. However, the recalcitrance associated with lignin impedes the extraction of polysaccharides from the cell wall to make plant-based biofuels and biomaterials. The cell wall digestibility can be improved by introducing labile ester bonds into the lignin backbone that can be easily broken under mild base treatment at room temperature. The FERULOYL-CoA MONOLIGNOL TRANSFERASE (FMT) enzyme, which may be naturally found in many plants, uses feruloyl-CoA and monolignols to synthesize the ester-linked monolignol ferulate conjugates. A mutation in the first lignin-specific biosynthetic enzyme, CINNAMOYL-CoA REDUCTASE (CCR), results in an increase in the intracellular pool of feruloyl-CoA. Results: Maize (Zea mays) has a native putative FMT enzyme, and its ccr mutants produce an increased pool of feruloyl-CoA that can be used for conversion to monolignol ferulate conjugates. The decreased lignin content and monomers did not, however, impact the plant growth or biomass. The increase in monolignol conjugates correlated with an improvement in the digestibility of maize stem rind tissue. Conclusions: Together, increased monolignol ferulates and improved digestibility in ccr1 mutant plants suggests that they may be superior biofuel crops.

description: Background: Pronated foot posture is associated with many clinical and biomechanical outcomes unique to medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). Though shoe-worn insole treatment, including lateral wedges, is commonly studied in this patient population, their effects on the specific subgroup of people with medial knee OA and concomitant pronated feet are unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether lateral wedge insoles with custom arch support are more beneficial than lateral wedge insoles alone for knee and foot symptoms in people with medial tibiofemoral knee osteoarthritis (OA) and pronated feet. Methods: Twenty-six people with pronated feet and symptomatic medial knee OA participated in a randomized crossover study comparing five degree lateral wedge foot insoles with and without custom foot arch support. Each intervention was worn for two months, separated by a two-month washout period of no insoles wear. Main outcomes included the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain and physical function subscales, the revised short-form Foot Function Index (FFI-R) pain and stiffness subscales, and the timed stair climb test. Regression modeling was conducted to examine treatment, period, and interaction effects. Results: Twenty-two participants completed the study, and no carryover or interaction effects were observed for any outcome. Significant treatment effects were observed for the timed stair climb, with greater improvements seen with the lateral wedges with arch support. Within-condition significant improvements were observed for WOMAC pain and physical function, as well as FFI-R pain and stiffness with lateral wedges with arch support use. More adverse effects were reported with the lateral wedges alone, while more people preferred the lateral wedges with arch support overall. Conclusions: Addition of custom arch support to a standard lateral wedge insole may improve foot and knee symptoms in people with knee OA and concomitant pronated feet. These preliminary findings suggest further research evaluating the role of shoe-worn insoles for treatment of this specific sub-group of people with knee OA is warranted.

description: Sensor setups of robotic platforms commonly include both camera and LiDAR as they provide complementary information. However, fusing these two modalities typically requires a highly accurate calibration between them. In this paper, we propose MDPCalib which is a novel method for camera-LiDAR calibration that requires neither human supervision nor any specific target objects. Instead, we utilize sensor motion estimates from visual and LiDAR odometry as well as deep learning-based 2D-pixel-to-3D-point correspondences that are obtained without in-domain retraining. We represent camera-LiDAR calibration as an optimization problem and minimize the costs induced by constraints from sensor motion and point correspondences. In extensive experiments, we demonstrate that our approach yields highly accurate extrinsic calibration parameters and is robust to random initialization. Additionally, our approach generalizes to a wide range of sensor setups, which we demonstrate by employing it on various robotic platforms including a self-driving perception car, a quadruped robot, and a UAV. To make our calibration method publicly accessible, we release the code on our project website at http://calibration.cs.uni-freiburg.de.

CityLearn v2 presented here extends CityLearn v1 by providing a simulation environment that leverages the End-Use Load Profiles for the U.S. Building Stock dataset to create virtual grid-interactive communities for resilient, multi-agent distributed energy resources and objective control with dynamic occupant feedback. This work details the v2 environment design and provides application examples that utilize reinforcement learning to manage battery energy storage system charging/discharging cycles, vehicle-to-grid control, and thermal comfort during heat pump power modulation.

description: In this paper we argue that the gauge-fixing conditions typically used to extract the (off-shell) degrees of freedom of the Rarita-Schwinger spinor-vector and gravitino, respectively in rigid supersymmetric field theory and supergravity, are actually instances of the dressing field method of symmetry reduction. Since the latter has a natural relation interpretation, solving the ``gauge-fixing condition" -- or, better, ``dressing functional constraints" -- actually realises the Rarita-Schwinger spinor-vector and the gravitino fields as (non-local) relational variables. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of the dressing field method to supersymmetric theories.

description: Wind farms begin to influence the power systems with the increasing amount of wind power penetration. The study of such influence justifies the need of a dynamic wind farm model comprising of a large number of generators, but detail models require high simulation computation time. An aggregation technique is required to reduce the model order while maintaining its accuracy. In this paper, a complete and an aggregated wind farm model with Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) are presented. Simulations have been carried out for both models and compared to demonstrate effectiveness of the aggregated model in terms of accuracy in approximation of the dynamic collective responses at the Point of Common Connection (PCC) and reduction in simulation computation time.

description: Bell non-locality is a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics whereby measurements performed on "spatially separated" quantum systems can exhibit correlations that cannot be understood as revealing predetermined values. This is a special case of the more general phenomenon of "quantum contextuality", which says that such correlations can occur even when the measurements are not necessarily on separate quantum systems, but are merely "compatible" (i.e. commuting). Crucially, while any non-local game yields an experiment that demonstrates quantum advantage by leveraging the "spatial separation" of two or more devices (and in fact several such demonstrations have been conducted successfully in recent years), the same is not true for quantum contextuality: finding the contextuality analogue of such an experiment is arguably one of the central open questions in the foundations of quantum mechanics.
 In this work, we show that an arbitrary contextuality game can be compiled into an operational "test of contextuality" involving a single quantum device, by only making the assumption that the device is computationally bounded. Our work is inspired by the recent work of Kalai et al. (STOC '23) that converts any non-local game into a classical test of quantum advantage with a single device. The central idea in their work is to use cryptography to enforce spatial separation within subsystems of a single quantum device. Our work can be seen as using cryptography to enforce "temporal separation", i.e. to restrict communication between sequential measurements.
 Beyond contextuality, we employ our ideas to design a "proof of quantumness" that, to the best of our knowledge, is arguably even simpler than the ones proposed in the literature so far.

Who will be an entrepreneur? how cultural mechanisms and social network structure together influence entrepreneurial participation

description: Using data collected from 35 countries over five years, this study provides an investigation of the combined influence of cultural factors and social network structure on whether or not an individual, anywhere in the world, becomes an entrepreneur. Results show that knowing someone who has started a business recently, across the world, has a significant impact on entrepreneurship participation. Regarding the potential cultural influences, it seems that importance attached to personally knowing entrepreneurs differs significantly between individuals operating in different cultures. In cultures with high power distance, personally knowing a person who recently started a business is relatively less important as a driver of entrepreneurship participation compared to cultures with low power distance. On the other hand, in cultures where the Hofstede's 'masculinity' construct predominates, it is more important than in cultures characterised by 'femininity'.

description: Background: Urban drug “scenes” have been identified as important risk environments that shape the health of street-entrenched youth. New knowledge is needed to inform policy and programing interventions to help reduce youths’ drug scene involvement and related health risks. The aim of this study was to identify how young people envisioned exiting a local, inner-city drug scene in Vancouver, Canada, as well as the individual, social and structural factors that shaped their experiences. Methods: Between 2008 and 2016, we draw on 150 semi-structured interviews with 75 street-entrenched youth. We also draw on data generated through ethnographic fieldwork conducted with a subgroup of 25 of these youth between. Results: Youth described that, in order to successfully exit Vancouver’s inner city drug scene, they would need to: (a) secure legitimate employment and/or obtain education or occupational training; (b) distance themselves – both physically and socially – from the urban drug scene; and (c) reduce their drug consumption. As youth attempted to leave the scene, most experienced substantial social and structural barriers (e.g., cycling in and out of jail, the need to access services that are centralized within a place that they are trying to avoid), in addition to managing complex individual health issues (e.g., substance dependence). Factors that increased youth’s capacity to successfully exit the drug scene included access to various forms of social and cultural capital operating outside of the scene, including supportive networks of friends and/or family, as well as engagement with addiction treatment services (e.g., low-threshold access to methadone) to support cessation or reduction of harmful forms of drug consumption. Conclusions: Policies and programming interventions that can facilitate young people’s efforts to reduce engagement with Vancouver’s inner-city drug scene are critically needed, including meaningful educational and/or occupational training opportunities, ‘low threshold’ addiction treatment services, as well as access to supportive housing outside of the scene.

Uniform dual approximation to Veronese curves in small dimension

description: We refine upper bounds for the classical exponents of uniform approximation for a linear form on the Veronese curve in dimension from $3$ to $9$. For dimension three, this in particular shows that a bound previously obtained by two different methods is not sharp. Our proof involves parametric geometry of numbers and investigation of geometric properties of best approximation polynomials. Slightly stronger bounds have been obtained by Poels with a different method contemporarily. In fact, we obtain the same bounds as a conditional result.

description: To advance the circular economy (CE), it is crucial to gain insights into the evolution of public attention, cognitive pathways of the masses concerning circular products, and to identify primary concerns. To achieve this, we collected data from diverse platforms, including Twitter, Reddit, and The Guardian, and utilised three topic models to analyse the data. Given the performance of topic modelling may vary depending on hyperparameter settings, this research proposed a novel framework that integrates twin (single and multi-objective) hyperparameter optimisation for the CE. We conducted systematic experiments to ensure that topic models are set with appropriate hyperparameters under different constraints, providing valuable insights into the correlations between CE and public attention. In summary, our optimised model reveals that public remains concerned about the economic impacts of sustainability and circular practices, particularly regarding recyclable materials and environmentally sustainable technologies. The analysis shows that the CE has attracted significant attention on The Guardian, especially in topics related to sustainable development and environmental protection technologies, while discussions are comparatively less active on Twitter. These insights highlight the need for policymakers to implement targeted education programs, create incentives for businesses to adopt CE principles, and enforce more stringent waste management policies alongside improved recycling processes.
