Real-time Asset Information Modelling (rtAIM) Protocol for Highways
Creators: name: Starkey, Graham
Publisher: name: Leeds Beckett University
Year: 2025

description: To operate successfully, an asset-centric organisation must recognise the need of visually validating the placement of its constructed assets. This is important to organisations but there are limitations and challenges. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been widely adapted, and its establish methods and technologies offers some potentials in benefiting the highways sector. Hence this study involved the development of a BIM-based protocol and decision framework for real-time collection, validation, and handover of attribute data for National Highways' major schemes, using machine learning from images collected from drone flights.
The study has integrated qualitative and quantitative approaches at rigorous and extensive stages, following the principles of critical realism theory and exploratory sequential mixed methods. The qualitative research further informed the design of a questionnaire which was used to elucidate broader industry experts’ perspective that ultimately guided the design, development and validation of machine learning-enabled real time asset information modelling.
A new protocol to overcome these limitations by applying Machine Learning algorithms for Mask RCNN (Region based Convolutional Neural Networks) and recognising the assets of roads with geospatial images obtained from drones. The prototype looked at a linear asset, as they are the most difficult to capture. Using 150 images of the chosen asset type, these were labelled then processed using machine learning which then highlighted the assets it had learnt, allowing the output to be sent to client databases in there required file format.
As proposed in the framework and validated through a case study the prototype effectively showcased how drone photogrammetry, powered by Machine Learning, a subset of Artificial Intelligence and Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes, can capture assets in real-time. This process reduces the time for redlining and negates the need for on-site surveys, adding value and reducing programme time.

description: This paper presents the design, development, methodology, and the results of a pilot study on using an intelligent, emotive and perceptive social robot (aka Companionbot) for improving the quality of life of elderly people with dementia and/or depression. Ryan Companionbot prototyped in this project, is a rear-projected life-like conversational robot. Ryan is equipped with features that can (1) interpret and respond to users' emotions through facial expressions and spoken language, (2) proactively engage in conversations with users, and (3) remind them about their daily life schedules (e.g. taking their medicine on time). Ryan engages users in cognitive games and reminiscence activities. We conducted a pilot study with six elderly individuals with moderate dementia and/or depression living in a senior living facility in Denver. Each individual had 24/7 access to a Ryan in his/her room for a period of 4-6 weeks. Our observations of these individuals, interviews with them and their caregivers, and analyses of their interactions during this period revealed that they established rapport with the robot and greatly valued and enjoyed having a Companionbot in their room.

description: Open source software systems are important components of many business software applications. Field defect predictions for open source software systems may allow organizations to make informed decisions regarding open source software components. In this paper, we remotely measure and analyze predictors (metrics available before release) mined from established data sources (the code repository and the request tracking system) as well as a novel source of data (mailing list archives) for nine releases of OpenBSD. First, we attempt to predict field defects by extending a software reliability model fitted to development defects. We find this approach to be infeasible, which motivates examining metrics-based field defect prediction. Then, we evaluate 139 predictors using established statistical methods: Kendall’s rank correlation, Pearson’s rank correlation, and forward AIC model selection. The metrics we collect include product metrics, development metrics, deployment and usage metrics, and software and hardware configurations metrics. We find the number of messages to the technical discussion mailing list during the development period (a deployment and usage metric captured from mailing list archives) to be the best predictor of field defects. Our work identifies predictors of field defects in commonly available data sources for open source software systems and is a step towards metrics-based field defect prediction for quantitatively-based decision making regarding open source software components.

description: The long, bright gamma-ray burst GRB 070125 was localized by the Interplanetary Network. We present light curves of the prompt gamma-ray emission as observed by Konus-WIND, RHESSI, Suzaku-WAM, and \textit{Swift}-BAT. We detail the results of joint spectral fits with Konus and RHESSI data. The burst shows moderate hard-to-soft evolution in its multi-peaked emission over a period of about one minute. The total burst fluence as observed by Konus is $1.79 \times 10^{-4}$ erg/cm$^2$ (20 keV--10 MeV). Using the spectroscopic redshift $z=1.548$, we find that the burst is consistent with the ``Amati'' $E_{peak,i}-E_{iso}$ correlation. Assuming a jet opening angle derived from broadband modeling of the burst afterglow, GRB 070125 is a significant outlier to the ``Ghirlanda'' $E_{peak,i}-E_γ$ correlation. Its collimation-corrected energy release $E_γ= 2.5 \times 10^{52}$ ergs is the largest yet observed.

description: This study was conducted to evaluate whether conventional farming can be replaced by a lower chemical pollution farming system, integrated rice-duck farming in a suburban agricultural area in northern Zhejiang, Southeast China. We comprehensively assessed the impacts of integrated rice-duck farming on weeds and herbivorous insects along with their natural enemies during the rice-growing season. We found that the rice-duck system effectively controlled weeds within the paddy fields. Nevertheless, the abundance of herbivores, particularly planthoppers and leafhoppers was increased in the duck-roaming paddy fields compared to the control and conventional fields, indicating the inefficiency of the rice-duck system in the control of rice main herbivore pests. Rice-duck farming significantly reduced the abundance of predators, especially spiders and dragonflies, therefore an ‘enemy-free space’ was created for herbivores which might be responsible for the observed herbivore increase in the rice-duck fields. Despite the inefficiency of rice-duck farming in the control of rice main herbivore pests, the net income of the rice-duck treatment with an organic certification was 7.6 and 1.4 times higher compared to the conventional and control treatments, respectively. In the view of the favourable results obtained in this study, the integrated rice-duck farming system might be suggested as a high economic return organic farming method suitable for modern farmers.

description: GDP is one of the most robust indicators of civil war onset. As debate continues over the mechanisms underlying the relationship between economic development and civil war, this paper scrutinizes the indicator of GDP directly, disaggregating it into its constituent components to examine whether their distinct associations with conflict onset can shed some light into the black box. Analysis of the individual correlations allows for identification of the driving force behind the aggregate statistical relationship. With this information to hand, consistency checks can be made with existing theories and a new theory presented in this paper, which draws attention to a critical structural factor that drives the supply of civil war labor, namely the lack of consumption opportunities. This factor increases the likelihood of civil war in less economically developed countries as individuals with low consumption opportunities have little to lose from reordering the economic and political system. Analysis of the correlations between components of GDP and the onset of civil war shows that this new theory is most consistent with the key drivers of the aggregate relationship. The examination also highlights a new indicator, which is arguably preferable to GDP as a measure of this relationship.
Nonstandard Higgs Decays with Visible and Missing Energy

description: Experimental and theoretical clues both suggest that the Higgs boson has a mass below the LEP2 lower limit of 114.4 GeV. If true, this suggests that the dominant Higgs decay is nonstandard while the production cross sections remain unmodified. We consider the possibility of nonstandard Higgs decays in the language of On-Shell Effective Theories (OSETs), and discuss a little considered class of Higgs decays, with a topology of both visible and missing energy. We study existing LEP constraints on such decays, and find that such decays would in general be allowed experimentally for ~ 100 GeV mass Higgses. Simple model realizations of these decays exist, which can occur in supersymmetric models and also in models with additional massive neutrinos. Some potential searches that can be performed at Tevatron and LHC, contained in standard supersymmetry topologies of leptons and missing energy, offer the possibility of discovering such Higgses.

Finding lists of people on the Web

description: Abstract: "Among the vast amounts of personal information published on the World Wide Web ('Web') and indexed by search engines are lists of names of people. Examples include employees at companies, students enrolled in universities, officers in the military, law enforcement personnel, members of social organizations, and lists of acquaintances. Knowing who works where, attends what, or affiliates with whom provides strategic knowledge to competitors, marketers, and government surveillance efforts. However, finding online rosters of people does not lend itself to keyword lookup on search engines because the keywords tend to be common expressions such as 'employees' or 'students.' A typical search often retrieves hundreds of Web pages requiring many hours of human inspection to locate a page containing a list of names. As a result, people may falsely believe online rosters provide more privacy than they do. This paper presents RosterFinder, a set of simple algorithms for locating Web pages that consist predominately of a list of names. The specific names are not known beforehand. RosterFinder works by identifying rosters from candidate Web pages based on the ratio of distinct known names to distinct words appearing in the page. Accurate classification by RosterFinder depends on the set of names used. Results are reported on real Web pages using: (1) dictionary lookup employing a limited set of known names; and, (2) dictionary lookup on utilizing an extensive set of known names. Privacy implications are discussed using the example of FERPA and online student rosters."
Finding all gravitationally stable orientations of assemblies

description: Previous work by Mattikalli et al.[1] considered the stability of assemblies of frictionless contacting bodies with uniform gravity. A linear programming-based technique was described that would automatically determine a single stable orientation for an assembly (if such an orientation existed). In this paper, we give an exact characterization of the entire set of stable orientations of any assembly under uniform gravity. Our characterization reveals that the set of stable orientations maps out a convex region on the unit-sphere of directions. The region is bounded by a sequence of vertices adjoined with great arcs. Linear programming techniques are used to automatically find this set of vertices, yielding a precise description of the range of stable orientations for any frictionless assembly.

description: The empirical study of network dynamics has been limited by the lack of longitudinal data. Here we introduce a quantitative indicator of link persistence to explore the correlations between the structure of a mobile phone network and the persistence of its links. We show that persistent links tend to be reciprocal and are more common for people with low degree and high clustering. We study the redundancy of the associations between persistence, degree, clustering and reciprocity and show that reciprocity is the strongest predictor of tie persistence. The method presented can be easily adapted to characterize the dynamics of other networks and can be used to identify the links that are most likely to survive in the future.

On the existence of superspecial nonhyperelliptic curves of genus $4$

description: A curve over a perfect field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$ is said to be superspecial if its Jacobian is isomorphic to a product of supersingular elliptic curves over the algebraic closure $\overline{K}$. In recent years, isomorphism classes of superspecial nonhyperelliptic curves of genus $4$ over finite fields in small characteristic have been enumerated. In particular, the non-existence of superspecial curves of genus $4$ in characteristic $p = 7$ was proved. In this note, we give an elementary proof of the existence of superspecial nonhyperelliptic curves of genus $4$ for infinitely many primes $p$. Specifically, we prove that the variety $C_p : x^3+y^3+w^3= 2 y w + z^2 = 0$ in the projective $3$-space with $p > 2$ is a superspecial curve of genus $4$ if and only if $p \equiv 2 \pmod{3}$. Our computational results show that $C_p$ with $p \equiv 2 \pmod 3$ are maximal curves over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$ for all $3 \leq p \leq 269$.

description: In quantum dots made from materials with nonzero nuclear spins, hyperfine coupling creates a fluctuating effective Zeeman field (Overhauser field) felt by electrons, which can be a dominant source of spin qubit decoherence. We characterize the spectral properties of the fluctuating Overhauser field in a GaAs double quantum dot by measuring correlation functions and power spectra of the rate of singlet-triplet mixing of two separated electrons. Away from zero field, spectral weight is concentrated below 10 Hz, with 1/f^2 dependence on frequency, f. This is consistent with a model of nuclear spin diffusion, and indicates that decoherence can be largely suppressed by echo techniques.

description: In this paper we describe a novel methodology for retrieving and combining information from multiple ontologies. In the last decades the number and diversity of available ontologies has grown considerably. There may be a variety of such resources available, but the cost to integrate them into an application is incremental, and often prohibitive for exploratory prototyping and discouraging for larger-scale integration. However, a unified cross-ontology query interface provides the capability for searching them independently and combining results. Beyond a common interface we further explore combining ontological graph search across knowledge bases and demonstrate superior results in the context of type-checking for automated Q&A systems. The paper presents the method and our initial promising results.

description: Power dissipation has become a major obstacle in performance scaling of modern integrated circuits, and has spurred the search for devices operating at lower voltage swing. In this letter, we study p-i-n band-to-band tunneling field effect transistors (TFET) taking semiconducting carbon nanotubes as the channel material. The on-current of these devices is mainly limited by the tunneling barrier properties, and phonon scattering has only a moderate effect. We show, however, that the off-current is limited by phonon absorption assisted tunneling, and thus is strongly temperature-dependent. Subthreshold swings below the 60mV/decade conventional limit can be readily achieved even at room temperature. Interestingly, although subthreshold swing degrades due to the effects of phonon scattering, it remains low under practical biasing conditions.

description: One of the important decisions that must be made for many benign cases indicating hysterectomy is the choice between total hysterectomy and subtotal hysterectomy. In this article, a systematic review of literature regarding short- and long-term health and quality-of-life patient outcomes is completed, in an effort to provide an evidence-based patient educational resource for medical professionals to provide women facing a decision about treatment options for benign gynecologic conditions. An additional goal of the author, after evaluation and synthesization of the literature, is to suggest differences between subtotal and total hysterectomies that may require further research prior to being able to strongly suggest one type of surgery over the other.

description: We study the locus of the moduli space of Higgs bundles on a curve given by those Higgs bundles obtained by pushforward under an unramified cover. We equip these loci with a hyperholomorphic bundle so that they can be viewed as BBB-branes, and we introduce corresponding BAA-branes which can be described via Hecke modifications. We then show how these branes are naturally dual via explicit Fourier--Mukai transform, where we recall that the structure group $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C})$ is Langlands self dual. It is noteworthy that these branes lie over the singular locus of the Hitchin fibration. As a particular case, our construction describes the behaviour under mirror symmetry of the fixed loci for the action of tensorization by a line bundle of order $n$. These loci play a key role in the work of Hausel and Thaddeus on topological mirror symmetry for Higgs moduli spaces.

We study the gauge transformation of right handed neutrino and its direct interaction with photon in the noncommutative space-time. We show that the massive Dirac neutrinos, through the Higgs mechanism, can not accommodate this extension of the standard model; while the massive Majorana neutrinos are consistent with the gauge symmetry of the model. The electromagnetic properties and the dispersion relations for the neutrino in the noncommutative standard model is examined. We also compare the results with the noncommutative standard model based on $U(3)\times U(2)\times U(1) $.

description: Formal specification and verification techniques have been used successfully to detect feature interactions. We investigate whether feature-based specifications can be used for this task. Feature-based specifications are a special class of specifications that aim at modularity in open-world, feature-oriented systems. The question we address is whether modularity of specifications impairs the ability to detect feature interactions, which cut across feature boundaries. In an exploratory study on 10 feature-oriented systems, we found that the majority of feature interactions could be detected based on feature-based specifications, but some specifications have not been modularized properly and require undesirable workarounds to modularization. Based on the study, we discuss the merits and limitations of feature-based specifications, as well as open issues and perspectives. A goal that underlies our work is to raise awareness of the importance and challenges of feature-based specification.

description: This self-study is based on first-hand experiences gained from 19 episodes of hypomania and mania that inform on the workings of the mind driven by the creative energy of madness. Diverse sources of data (e.g. diaries written during or around episodes) were used for self-diagnosis. Self-observations reveal no depression of clinical severity, compromised reality testing, or impulse control. Cognitive disturbances did not preclude outpourings of creativity. Moreover, a good many of the symptoms exhibited (e.g. literary-artistic-esthetic sensibilities, capacity to enjoy life) may be viewed as positive. Discussion centers on the atypical features and cultural context of my case, interaction between madness and creativity, and limitations of research on mood disorders based on the deficit model. I argue that it is unsound to accommodate cases such as mine under the rubric of bipolar disorders. Evidence derived from self-observations supports the contention that superefficiency in memory retrieval and ideational associations is a mechanism underlying creativity in euphoric states—probably, however, at the cost of mental fatigue, in line with recent research. More generally, the evidence provides support for viewing madness as creative energy in at least some cases.

This results in formulae with rational coefficients. The former space yields a well-known induction formula, the latter yields a new one. As essentially immediate corollaries of the existing literature, we get similar formulae in group cohomology and stable splittings of classifying spaces.

description: Standard approaches to magneto-mechanical interactions in thermal magnetic crystalline solids involve Landau functionals in which the lattice anisotropy and the resulting magnetization easy axes are taken explicitly into account. In glassy systems one needs to develop a theory in which the amorphous structure precludes the existence of an easy axis, and in which the constituent particles are free to respond to their local amorphous surroundings and the resulting forces. We present a theory of all the mixed responses of an amorphous solids to mechanical strains and magnetic fields. Atomistic models are proposed in which we test the predictions of magnetostriction for both bulk and nano-film amorphous samples. The application to nano-films with emergent self-affine free interfaces requires a careful definition of the film 'width' and its change due to the magnetostriction effect.

description: Inequality in socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with an increased risk for the development of mental health problems. Here, we examined the association between socioeconomic status (SSS) and psychological distress, and measured gene expression signatures in peripheral blood leukocytes responsible for this association, in 129 healthy adults (27 males and 102 females, aged 44.0 ± 13.0 years) working in a private hospital in Japan. Depressive mood was assessed by Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). A multiple regression analysis adjusted for gender and age showed that subjective SSS was independently and negatively associated with SDS score. We next focused on 9 subjects who exhibited low SSS scores and 11 subjects with high SSS scores. Microarray analysis revealed that levels of 522 mRNAs were differentially expressed in periheral leukocytes between low and high-SSS groups. The differentially expressed genes were preferentially involved in cellular movement or inflammatory responses. Among them, mRNA levels of pro-platelet basic protein (PPBP) and solute carrier family 1 (glutamine transporter), member 7 (SLC1A7) were negatively correlated with SSS scores. Our results re-confirmed the association between negative perception of SES and depressive mood in healthy adults, and suggest a possible involvement of PPBP and SLC1A7 in the association.

description: Let $(M,ω)$ be a Kahler manifold. An integrable function on M is called $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic if it is subharmonic on all q-dimensional complex subvarieties. We prove that a smooth $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic function is q-convex. A continuous $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic function admits a local approximation by smooth, $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic functions. For any closed subvariety $Z\subset M$, $\dim Z < q$, there exists a strictly $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic function in a neighbourhood of $Z$ (this result is known for q-convex functions). This theorem is used to give a new proof of Sibony's lemma on integrability of positive closed (p,p)-forms which are integrable outside of a complex subvariety of codimension >p.

Training resources

description: The FAIR-by-Design Methodology provides a comprehensive framework for the development of learning materials. It offers clear, structured guidance on how to create FAIR training resources while allowing flexibility in the choice of tools, platforms, and content formats.This milestone presents the final recommendations on FAIR-by-Design training resources, summarizing insights gained through the iterative co-creation and continuous improvement process implemented up to January 2025. The recommendations are focusing on the commonly identified challenges thus far and build upon extensive stakeholder engagement, feedback mechanisms, and hands-on implementation experiences.The identified common challenges that users may face when applying the methodology include handling closed materials, managing version control, ensuring proper attribution, structuring content for maximum usability, and maintaining the sustainability of published training resources. For each challenge, the document presents practical solutions and recommendations, helping users overcome obstacles and maintain compliance with FAIR principles.The document also includes key takeaways, summarizing the most important insights for implementing the methodology effectively. It reinforces the idea that FAIR-by-Design is not just a set of rules but a flexible, evolving approach that supports better knowledge sharing and reuse in Open Science.Future refinements to the methodology will be made as new needs and challenges arise. The methodology is designed to grow and evolve, ensuring that learning materials remain relevant, high-quality, and aligned with the changing landscape of Open Science education.By following the guidance outlined in this document, instructors, trainers, and learning material developers can create robust, reusable, and widely accessible training content that aligns with best practices in Open Science and digital education.
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and Milky Way Science

description: The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) surveys have initially been optimized to omit the inner part of the Milky Way disk/bar from deep and cadence observations. However it is now clear that the LSST will be powerful for Galactic astronomy and may play a crucial role in continuing to extend the Gaia astrometric catalog until a future satellite, either optical or IR, carries on. LSST will provide metallicities and kinematics for the bulge, and will map halo structures to as distant as 450 kpc, nearly half the distance to the Andromeda galaxy. Thanks to the unprecedented calibration effort for its photometric system, and surprisingly good astrometry (transverse velocity measurements of 0.2 mas/yr at r=21; 1 mas/yr at r=24). LSST will provide photometric abundances and distance constraints for a billion or more Milky Way stars to distances of 450 kpc, and kinematics from proper motions to $\sim100$ kpc. Single observation depths reach $\sim 24$ in the $ugrizy$ bands, while depths at end of mission reach $\sim 27$. Although halo structures such as streams and dwarf galaxies are initially identified by the RR Lyrae and giants, their structure will be fleshed out by the 100$\times$ more abundant dwarfs that will be detected to 100 kpc (single observation) and $\sim 300$ kpc by end of mission. More complete mapping of stream structures may constrain the mass distribution of dark matter and perhaps confirm the interaction of dark matter halos and streams. I also describe the Blanco DECam Bulge Survey, a 200 deg$^2$ LSST pathfinder survey of the bulge in $ugrizy$ using the Dark Energy Camera on the Blanco 4m telescope. The purpose of this article is to encourage active workers on the Milky Way and Local Volume to participate in the LSST project, in particular to urge that the Galactic Plane receive the same cadence and depth coverage as the rest of the extragalactic sky.

Classical Renormalization of Codimension-two Brane Couplings

description: The curvature on codimension-two and higher branes is not regular for arbitrary matter sources. Nevertheless, the low-energy theory for an observer on such a brane should be well-defined and independent to any regularization procedure. This is achieved via appropriate classical renormalization of the brane couplings, and leads to a natural hierarchy between standard model couplings and couplings to gravity.

description: Some safety-critical distributed embedded systems may need to use centralized components to achieve certain dependability properties. The difficulty in combining centralized and distributed architectures is achieving the potential benefits of centralization without giving up properties that motivated the use of a distributed approach in the first place. This paper examines the impact on fault tolerance of adding selected centralized components to distributed embedded systems, and possible approaches to choosing an appropriate configuration. We consider the proposed use of a star topology with centralized bus guardians in the Time-Triggered Architecture. We model systems with different levels of centralized control in their star couplers, and compare fault tolerance properties in the presence of star-coupler faults. We demonstrate that buffering entire frames in the star coupler could lead to failures in startup and integration. We also show that constraining buffer size imposes restrictions on frame size and clock rates.

The Role of Intracellular Interactions in the Collective Polarization of Tissues and its Interplay with Cellular Geometry

description: Planar cell polarity (PCP), the coherent in-plane polarization of a tissue on multicellular length scales, provides directional information that guides a multitude of developmental processes at cellular and tissue levels. While it is manifest that cells utilize both intracellular and intercellular mechanisms, how the two produce the collective polarization remains an active area of investigation. We study the role of intracellular interactions in the large-scale spatial coherence of cell polarities, and scrutinize the role of intracellular interactions in the emergence of tissue-wide polarization. We demonstrate that nonlocal cytoplasmic interactions are necessary and sufficient for the robust long-range polarization, and are essential to the faithful detection of weak directional signals. In the presence of nonlocal interactions, signatures of geometrical information in tissue polarity become manifest. We investigate the deleterious effects of geometric disorder, and determine conditions on the cytoplasmic interactions that guarantee the stability of polarization. These conditions get progressively more stringent upon increasing the geometric disorder. Another situation where the role of geometrical information might be evident is elongated tissues. Strikingly, our model recapitulates an observed influence of tissue elongation on the orientation of polarity. Eventually, we introduce three classes of mutants: lack of membrane proteins, cytoplasmic proteins, and local geometrical irregularities. We adopt core-PCP as a model pathway, and interpret the model parameters accordingly, through comparing the in silico and in vivo phenotypes. This comparison helps us shed light on the roles of the cytoplasmic proteins in cell-cell communication, and make predictions regarding the cooperation of cytoplasmic and membrane proteins in long-range polarization.

Non-contact surface measurement

description: This work aims at competitive evaluation and comparison of surface measurement techniques which acquire data on a point by point basis with techniques which acquire a frame of data. The techniques discussed here for the purpose of non-contact surface measurement are Laser Triangulation, Light Knife and Moiré Patterns. Mathematical expressions for resolution and surface acquisition time have been derived for the methods mentioned above. In the end a numerical example is taken to further the comparison between the three non-contact surface measurement techniques under study and prove the competency and efficacy of a position sensor based system (which is effectively a point based system)
