description: We show that a scale invariant approximation to the next-to-leading order BFKL kernel, constructed via transverse momentum diagrams, has a simple conformally invariant representation in impact parameter space i.e. K(r1,r2,r1',r2') = g^4 N^2 ln^4[(|r1-r1'||r2-r2'|)/(|r1-r2'||r2-r1'|)] That a conformally invariant representation exists is shown first by relating the kernel directly to Feynman diagrams contributing to two photon diffractive dissociation.

description: We pose the recognition problem as data association. In this setting, a novel object is explained solely in terms of a small set of exemplar objects to which it is visually similar. Inspired by the work of Frome et al., we learn separate distance functions for each exemplar; however, our distances are interpretable on an absolute scale and can be thresholded to detect the presence of an object. Our exemplars are represented as image regions and the learned distances capture the relative importance of shape, color, texture, and position features for that region. We use the distance functions to detect and segment objects in novel images by associating the bottom-up segments obtained from multiple image segmentations with the exemplar regions. We evaluate the detection and segmentation performance of our algorithm on real-world outdoor scenes from the LabelMe [15] dataset and also show some promising qualitative image parsing results.

description: In the article it has been considered the issues of opportunities for the development of domestic tourism in the eastern territories of Ukraine, which have experienced problems due to the conflict and restrictions on international and domestic mobility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been established that in the East of Ukraine there are been favorable conditions for the development of domestic rural tourism. It has been proposed to start the development of resort and recreational potential of the eastern territories, namely the creation of a resort town in Starobilsk, Luhansk region, which will specialize in providing medical rehabilitation services for adults, children, disabled people with musculoskeletal diseases, neurological, gynecological diseases, consequences of polytraumas. It has been noted about the need to develop a strategic program for the development of domestic tourism in the eastern territories. It has been established that taking into account the human development index is a necessary condition for the study of post-conflict development of territories. It has been stayted the most promising for the rapid development of the eastern territories is "green tourism". It has been proved that the main driving force of tourism development in post-conflict conditions and restrictions on mobility is to follow the rules of quarantine and search for alternative types of tourism, which are proposed in this paper. The proposals identified in this paper will be useful to many countries whose tourism industry has suffered heavy losses as a result of a pandemic or a complex conflict situation.

We demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique in discriminating between impulsive mechanical excitations of the resonant-bar and other spurious excitations. This technique also ensures the accuracy of the estimated parameters such as the signal-to-noise ratio. The efficiency of the technique to deal with non-stationary noise and its application to data from a network of detectors are also discussed.

Reckless motion estimation from omnidirectional image and inertial measurements

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: 80101 Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics

description: Two approaches to improving the accuracy of camera motion estimation from image sequences are the use of omnidirectional cameras, which combine a conventional camera with a convex mirror that magnifies the field of view, and the use of both image and inertial measurements, which are highly complementary. In this paper, we describe optimal batch algorithms for estimating motion and scene structure from either conventional or omnidirectional images, with or without inertial data. We also present a method for motion estimation from inertial data and the tangential components of image projections. Tangential components are identical across a wide range of conventional and omnidirectional projection models, so the resulting method does not require any accurate projection model. Because this method discards half of the projection data (i.e., the radial components) and can operate with a projection model that may grossly mismodel the actual camera behavior, we call the method ?eckless?motion estimation, but we show that the camera positions and scene structure estimated using this method can be quite accurate.

description: Monitoring small groups of sheep in spontaneous evolution in the field, we decipher behavioural rules that sheep follow at the individual scale in order to sustain collective motion. Individuals alternate grazing mode at null speed and moving mode at walking speed, so cohesive motion stems from synchronising when they decide to switch between the two modes. We propose a model for the individual decision making process, based on switching rates between stopped / walking states that depend on behind / ahead locations and states of the others. We parametrize this model from data. Next, we translate this (microscopic) individual-based model into its density-flow (macroscopic) equations counterpart. Numerical solving these equations display a traveling pulse propagating at constant speed even though each individual is at any moment either stopped or walking. Considering the minimal model embedded in these equations, we derive analytically the steady shape of the pulse (sech square). The parameters of the pulse (shape and speed) are expressed as functions of individual parameters. This pulse emerges from the non linear coupling of start/stop individual decisions which compensate exactly for diffusion and promotes a steady ratio of walking / stopped individuals, which in turn determines the traveling speed of the pulse. The system seems to converge to this pulse from any initial condition, and to recover the pulse after perturbation. This gives a high robustness to this coordination mechanism.

Institutional Quality and Tourism: Panel Causality Analysis in the Case of Mediterranean Countries
Creators: name: Ağazade, Seymur
Publisher: name: Almatourism - Journal of Tourism, Culture and Territorial Development
Year: 2021

description: Using panel data methods this study examines the relationship between institutional quality and tourism in the case of 12 Mediterranean countries. Six indexes of the Worldwide Governance Indicators database and a general index calculated as their average were taken into consideration as institutional quality indicators. International tourism receipts per tourist and international tourism receipts as a percentage of export were used as tourism performance indicators. In analysis, the cross-sectional dependence was examined by Pesaran (2004) CD test and in accordance with the findings of this test, first and second-generation panel unit root tests were applied. Taking into consideration of the stationarity of the variables and non-homogeneity of the parameters, the relationship between institutional quality and international tourism revenues was examined by Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) heterogeneous panel causality test. Findings of the causality analysis strongly supported the causality toward international tourism receipts per tourist from institutional quality variables. Causality to the international tourism receipts as a percentage of export was supported for some of the institutional quality variables.

Year: 2021

description: This study elaborates a theoretical structure regarding the drivers of well-being and the conditions under which it is achieved by travelers with disabilities (TwDs) in a smart tourism destination (STD). The grounded theory was applied in the research. The focused coding revealed 65 codes distributed among 14 categories. The correlation among them established the theoretical code with the dimensions of the STD, their consequences, the drivers of well-being, and the moderating conditions of smart tourism experiences (STEs). The results showed that the STD generates trust, safety and autonomy in the TwDs, supporting the overcoming of physical and social barriers and favoring their well-being. The theoretical structure exposed relations that can be tested in future researches and focused codes that support the elaboration of items that can be used to measure the categories. The proposed model provides managers and policymakers with information to better welcome TwDs.

description: The peculiar velocities of galaxies cause their redshift-space clustering to depend on the angle to the line-of-sight, providing a key test of gravitational physics on cosmological scales. These effects may be described using a multipole expansion of the clustering measurements. Focussing on Fourier-space statistics, we present a new analysis of the effect of the survey window function, and the variation of the line-of-sight across a survey, on the modelling of power spectrum multipoles. We determine the joint covariance of the Fourier-space multipoles in a Gaussian approximation, and indicate how these techniques may be extended to studies of overlapping galaxy populations via multipole cross-power spectra. We apply our methodology to one of the widest-area galaxy redshift surveys currently available, the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey, deducing a normalized growth rate f*sigma_8(z=0.06) = 0.38 +/- 0.12 in the low-redshift Universe, in agreement with previous analyses of this dataset using different techniques. Our framework should be useful for processing future wide-angle galaxy redshift surveys.

description: In Carnegie Mellon University’s CyberScout project, we are developing mobile and stationary sentries capable of autonomous reconnaissance and surveillance. In this paper, we describe recent advances in the areas of efficient perception algorithms (detection, classification, and correspondence) and mission planning. In detection, we have achieved improved rejection of camera jitter and environmental variations (e.g., lighting, moving foliage) through multi-modal filtering, and we have implemented panoramic backgrounding through pseudo-real-time mosaicing. In classification, we present methods for discriminating between individuals, groups of individuals, and vehicles, and between individuals with and without backpacks. In correspondence, we describe an accurate multi-hypothesis approach based on both motion and appearance. Finally, in mission planning, we describe mapbuilding using multiple sensory cues and a computationally efficient decentralized planner for multiple platforms.

description: Background: Understanding cellular diversity throughout the body is essential for elucidating the complex functions of biological systems. Recently, large-scale single-cell omics datasets, known as omics atlases, have become available. These atlases encompass data from diverse tissues and cell-types, providing insights into the landscape of cell-type-specific gene expression. However, the isolated effect of the tissue environment has not been thoroughly investigated. Evaluating this isolated effect is challenging due to statistical confounding with cell-type effects, arising from significant biases in the combinations of tissues and cell-types within the body. Results: This study introduces a novel data analysis framework, named the Combinatorial Sub-dataset Extraction for Confounding Reduction (COSER), which addresses statistical confounding by using graph theory to enumerate appropriate sub-datasets. COSER enables the assessment of isolated effects of discrete variables in single cells. Applying COSER to the Tabula Muris Senis single-cell transcriptome atlas, we characterized the isolated impact of tissue environments. Our findings demonstrate that some of genes are markedly affected by the tissue environment, particularly in modulating intercellular diversity in immune responses and their age-related changes. Conclusion: COSER provides a robust, general-purpose framework for evaluating the isolated effects of discrete variables from large-scale data mining. This approach reveals critical insights into the interplay between tissue environments and gene expression.

We discuss the viability of each GRB model, and alternatively assuming that all bursts are connected with one model we constrain the required collimation of GRBs. We also show the importance of widely used evolutionary parameters on the merger rates of calculated binary populations.

description: This research aims to analyze the determinants of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to explain the intention of the behavior of accommodation in sustainable hotels. The research had characteristics of exploratory, quantitative, and inferential research, through the application of a survey, using the instrument of Han et al. (2010), reaching a total sample of 383 responses of Brazilian tourists. Data analysis was performed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique estimated by Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results validated the perspectives of the TPB, with statistical significance for the relationships between the variables of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control in relation to the intention to stay in sustainable hotels. Attitudinal beliefs had the greatest influence of the intention to stay in sustainable hotels. These results have theoretical and practical implications, from the validation of the TPB literature to the intention of behavior of consumption of sustainable services, and the indication of the main determinant of the intention of hosting, which can result in more accurate marketing strategies and better economic and social results.

Hydrodynamic and N-body Schemes On An Unstructured, Adaptive Mesh with Applications to Cosmological Simulations

description: The theory and application of numerical methods for unstructured meshes have been improved significantly in recent years. Because the grids can be place arbitrarily in space, unstructured meshes can provide much higher spatial resolution than regular meshes. The built-in nature of mesh adaptivity for unstructured meshes gives one way to simulate highly dynamic, hierarchical problems involving both collisionless dark matter and collisional gas dynamics. In this paper, we describe algorithms to construct unstructured meshes from a set of points with periodic boundary conditions through Delaunay triangulation, and algorithms to solve hydrodynamic and N-body problems on an unstructured mesh . A combination of a local transformation algorithm and the traditional Bowyer-Watson algorithm gives an efficient approach to perform Delaunay triangulation. A novel algorithm to solve N-body equations of motion on an unstructured mesh is described. Poisson's equation is solved using the conjugate gradient method. A gas-kinetic scheme based on the BGK model to solve Euler equations is used to evolve the hydrodynamic equations. We apply these algorithms to solve cosmological settings, which involve both dark and baryonic matter. Various cooling and heating processes for primordial baryonic matter are included in the code. The numerical results show that the N-body and hydrodynamic algorithms based on unstructured meshes with mesh refinement are well-suited for hierarchical structure formation problems.

description: A natural star product for 4-d $κ$-Minkowski space is used to investigate various classes of $κ$-Poincaré invariant scalar field theories with quartic interactions whose commutative limit coincides with the usual $ϕ^4$ theory. $κ$-Poincaré invariance forces the integral involved in the actions to be a twisted trace, thus defining a KMS weight for the noncommutative (C*-)algebra modeling the $κ$-Minkowski space. The associated modular group and Tomita modular operator are characterized. In all the field theories, the twist generates different planar one-loop contributions to the 2-point function which are at most UV linearly diverging. Some of these theories are free of UV/IR mixing. In the others, UV/IR mixing shows up in non-planar contributions to the 2-point function as a polynomial singularity at exceptional zero external momenta while staying finite at non-zero external momenta. These results are discussed together with the possibility for the KMS weight relative to the quantum space algebra to trigger the appearance of KMS state on the algebra of observables.

Qualitative research methodology was preferred to identify the strategic governance practices from marina managers’ perspective. In-dept semi-structured interview was preffered in order to illuminate the case specific management approaches and applications. Six marina managers were interviewed, and the managers’ opinions were analysed by content analysis under five main themes namely, vision, participation, coordination, transparency, and efficiency. The findings revealed that the strategic governance practices are not strictly implemented because of the top-down-centralized approach which is preferred in the sector.

description: As mobile robots venture into more difficult environments, more complex state-space paths are required to move safely and efficiently. The difference between mission success and failure can be determined by a mobile robot’s capacity to effectively navigate such paths in the presence of disturbances. This paper describes a technique for mobile robot model predictive control that utilizes the structure of a regional motion plan to effectively search the local continuum for an improved solution. The contribution, the receding horizon model-predictive control (RHMPC) technique, specifically addresses the problem of path following and obstacle avoidance through geometric singularities and discontinuities such as cusps, turn-in-place, and multi-point turn maneuvers in environments where terrain shape and vehicle mobility effects are non-negligible. The technique is formulated as an optimal controller that utilizes a model-predictive trajectory generator to relax parameterized control inputs initialized from a regional motion planner to navigate safely through the environment. Experimental results are presented for a six-wheeled skid-steered field robot in natural terrain.

description: Let $G$ be a compact group, let $\mathcal{B}$ be a unital C$^*$-algebra, and let $(\mathcal{A},G,α)$ be a free C$^*$-dynamical system, in the sense of Ellwood, with fixed point algebra $\mathcal{B}$. We prove that $(\mathcal{A},G,α)$ can be realized as the invariants of an equivariant coaction of $G$ on a corner of $\mathcal{B} \otimes \mathcal{K}(\mathfrak{H})$ for a certain Hilbert space $\mathfrak{H}$ that arises from the freeness of the action. This extends a result by Wassermann for free C$^*$-dynamical systems with trivial fixed point algebras. As an application, we show that any faithful \Star-representation of $\mathcal{B}$ on a Hilbert space $\mathfrak{H}_{\mathcal{B}}$ gives rise to a faithful covariant representation of $(\mathcal{A},G,α)$ on some truncation of $\mathfrak{H}_{\mathcal{B}} \otimes \mathfrak{H}$.

In this work, we are developing teams of Cooperative Robotic Watercraft (CRW) for critical applications including flood response, water monitoring and security. This paper details the steps in the development and deployment of our low-cost, robust CRW system, including design considerations, system description, user interface, and subsequent field-testing results. We took the watercraft into real environments and ran them through the types of exercises they will perform in real deployments, to better understand the full range of issues involved in creating and deploying real multi-robot systems. We report field testing results from two unique and different environments: four days of testing in an irrigation pond and six weeks in the Philippines, including after a typhoon; resulting in more than 100 boat hours in the water and hundreds of thousands of data points. By the end, the process and the resultant boats were effective and robust, and could be controlled by one non-computer science undergraduate student and local Filipinos with no formal education.

Tevatron Run II combination of the effective leptonic electroweak mixing angle

description: Drell-Yan lepton pairs produced in the process $p \bar{p} \rightarrow \ell^+\ell^- + X$ through an intermediate $γ^*/Z$ boson have an asymmetry in their angular distribution related to the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the electroweak force and the associated mixing of its neutral gauge bosons. The CDF and D0 experiments have measured the effective-leptonic electroweak mixing parameter $\sin^2θ^{\rm lept}_{\rm eff}$ using electron and muon pairs selected from the full Tevatron proton-antiproton data sets collected in 2001-2011, corresponding to 9-10 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The combination of these measurements yields the most precise result from hadron colliders, $\sin^2 θ^{\rm lept}_{\rm eff} = 0.23148 \pm 0.00033$. This result is consistent with, and approaches in precision, the best measurements from electron-positron colliders. The standard model inference of the on-shell electroweak mixing parameter $\sin^2θ_W$, or equivalently the $W$-boson mass $M_W$, using the \textsc{zfitter} software package yields $\sin^2 θ_W = 0.22324 \pm 0.00033$ or equivalently, $M_W = 80.367 \pm 0.017 \;{\rm GeV}/c^2$.

While the underlying science is advancing quickly, the engi-neering problems associated with deploying multi-robot team under real world constraints have not been adequately addressed. In this work, we are developing teams of Cooperative Robotic Watercraft (CRW) for crit-ical applications including ood response, water monitoring and security.

Distribution of binary mergers around galaxies

description: We use a stellar binary population synthesis code to find the lifetimes and velocities of several types of possible GRB progenitors: double neutron stars, black hole neutron stars, black hole white dwarfs, helium star mergers. Assuming that they are born in different types of galaxies we compute their spatial distribution and compare it with the observed locations of GRB afterglows within their hosts. We discuss constraints on the compact object merger model of GRBs imposed by this comparison and find that the observations of afterglows and their host galaxies appear inconsistent with the GRB compact object merger model.

description: The single-nucleon knockout reactions 9Be(14B, 13B + gamma)X and 197Au(14B, 13B + gamma)X, at an incident energy of 60 MeV per nucleon, have been used to probe the structure of 14B and of the core fragment 13B. A dominant 2s configuration is deduced for the neutron in the ground state of 14B. The longitudinal momentum distribution for this state is consistent with "neutron halo" structure. Spin assignments for 13B excited states at 3.48 and 3.68 MeV are proposed based on the observed spectroscopic factors for one-neutron removal.

Early growth of typical high redshift black holes seeded by direct collapse

description: Understanding the growth of high redshift massive black holes (MBHs) is a problem of great astrophysical interest. The most luminous quasars at $z>6$ are frequently observed but they represent only the tip of the iceberg as the majority of the low luminosity AGN population remains undetected. In the present study, we perform a radiation hydrodynamics cosmological simulation to study the growth of "normal" black holes in the high redshift universe. In our simulation we model the formation of Pop III and Pop II stars along with their chemical, mechanical and radiative feedback. We consider both UV and X-ray emission from an accreting BH to simulate its radiative feedback. The selected halo has a mass of $\rm 3 \times 10^{10}~M_{\odot}$ at $z=7.5$ and we turn on radiative feedback from a MBH seed of $\rm 10^5~M_{\odot}$ along with in-situ star formation at $z=12$ when the halo mass reaches well above the atomic cooling limit. We find that the MBH accretes only about 2200 $\rm M_{\odot}$ during 320 Myr and the average mass accretion onto the MBH is a few times $\rm 10^{-6}~M_{\odot}/yr$. Our results suggest that the stunted growth of MBH is a consequence of supernovae in tandem with MBH feedback which drive large outflows and evacuate the gas from MBH vicinity. This may explain why a population of low luminosity AGN has not been detected so-far at $z>6$; the large contrast between the star formation rate and the MBH accretion rate may make then hard to detect even in upcoming deep surveys.
