Surface faulting

description: The Hualien earthquake sequence hit the island of Taiwan on February 2018. It caused extensive surface faulting which has been observed thanks to various techniques, from field work to geodesy. This dataset is of primary significance for the earthquake geology community.

In the framework of a INQUA project (SURFACE), a worldwide and unified database of surface faulting cases (SURE) is being implemented to improve the Surface Displacement Hazard Analyses. This compilation of published data aims at providing useful information for a further implementation of this case in SURE.

description: We adapt the Douglas-Rachford (DR) splitting method to solve nonconvex feasibility problems by studying this method for a class of nonconvex optimization problem. While the convergence properties of the method for convex problems have been well studied, far less is known in the nonconvex setting. In this paper, for the direct adaptation of the method to minimize the sum of a proper closed function $g$ and a smooth function $f$ with a Lipschitz continuous gradient, we show that if the step-size parameter is smaller than a computable threshold and the sequence generated has a cluster point, then it gives a stationary point of the optimization problem. Convergence of the whole sequence and a local convergence rate are also established under the additional assumption that $f$ and $g$ are semi-algebraic. We also give simple sufficient conditions guaranteeing the boundedness of the sequence generated. We then apply our nonconvex DR splitting method to finding a point in the intersection of a closed convex set $C$ and a general closed set $D$ by minimizing the squared distance to $C$ subject to $D$. We show that if either set is bounded and the step-size parameter is smaller than a computable threshold, then the sequence generated from the DR splitting method is actually bounded. Consequently, the sequence generated will have cluster points that are stationary for an optimization problem, and the whole sequence is convergent under an additional assumption that $C$ and $D$ are semi-algebraic. We achieve these results based on a new merit function constructed particularly for the DR splitting method. Our preliminary numerical results indicate that our DR splitting method usually outperforms the alternating projection method in finding a sparse solution of a linear system, in terms of both the solution quality and the number of iterations taken.

description: Recently [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 106}, 093902 (2011)] it has been shown that $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric scattering systems with balanced gain and loss, undergo a transition from $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric scattering eigenstates, which are norm preserving, to symmetry broken pairs of eigenstates exhibiting net amplification and loss. In the present work we derive the existence of an invariant non-local current which can be directly associated with the observed transition playing the role of an "order parameter". The use of this current for the description of the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking allows the extension of the known phase diagram to higher dimensions incorporating scattering states which are not eigenstates of the scattering matrix.

description: We call a finitely complete category algebraically coherent when the change-of-base functors of its fibration of points are coherent, which means that they preserve finite limits and jointly strongly epimorphic pairs of arrows. We give examples of categories satisfying this condition; for instance, coherent categories, categories of interest in the sense of Orzech, and (compact) Hausdorff algebras over a semi-abelian algebraically coherent theory. We study equivalent conditions in the context of semi-abelian categories, as well as some of its consequences: including amongst others, strong protomodularity, and normality of Higgins commutators for normal subobjects, and in the varietal case, fibre-wise algebraic cartesian closedness.

title: Organic Sensitizers and Luminogens for Optoelectronic Devices
Creators: name: Bayseç, Şebnem
Publisher: name: Bergische Universität Wuppertal
Year: 2019

description: Among the world of materials, organic semiconductors have attracted great attention due to their low cost, easy fabrication, and tunable properties. The development of high-performance organic materials over the past years have led to increase of their investigation and usage in optoelectronic field rapidly. So far, increasing the device efficiencies have been the main issue. From the chemist’s point of view, tailoring the properties of materials by facile synthetic modifications to enhance the efficiency of the device and enlarging the application areas is a useful strategy.
 In that respect, different synthetic strategies have been applied to reach the desired properties in this thesis. A variety of small molecules and polymers based on Borondipyrromethene (BODIPY) and Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) have been synthesized, characterized and properties of the materials with regard to their application in OFETs, fluorescent-based chemical sensors, and OLEDs have been demonstrated. In addition, this thesis provides an overview of recent developments in the field.

description: We consider degenerate elliptic equations of second order in divergence form with a symmetric random coefficient field a. Extending the work of the first author, Fehrman, and Otto [Ann. Appl. Probab. 28 (2018), no. 3, 1379-1422], who established the large-scale regularity of a-harmonic functions in a degenerate situation, we provide stretched exponential moments for the minimal radius describing the minimal scale for this regularity. As an application to stochastic homogenization, we partially generalize results by Gloria, Neukamm, and Otto [Anal. PDE 14 (2021), no. 8, 2497-2537] on the growth of the corrector, the decay of its gradient, and a quantitative two-scale expansion to the degenerate setting. On a technical level, we demand the ensemble of coefficient fields to be stationary and subject to a spectral gap inequality, and we impose moment bounds on the coefficient field and its inverse. We also introduce the ellipticity radius, which encodes the minimal scale where these moments are close to their positive expectation value.

description: Introduction: One of the social sciences' most extensively researched concepts is socioeconomic status (SES). There are many different approaches to measuring SES, but most include some quantification of family income, parental education, and employment position. SES has been linked to a wide range of physical, cognitive, and socioemotional outcomes in children, with impacts starting at birth and lasting into adulthood, according to research. The current study is assessing the influence of socioeconomic status on child health and development. Methods and Materials: The researcher has adopted a descriptive research design with the quantitative method for the current study, the sample size is 380 and was collected from the women respondents currently who have 0-6 years old children including baby boys and baby girls. The mothers of children age group between 16-39 and residing in Nalgonda district of Telangana state, purposive sampling technique of non-probability sampling method used to obtain the sample. Socio-demographic profile, Modified Kuppuswamy Socio-Economic Scale 2019, child health questionnaire including three domains were used in the study to obtain the data. Results: The analysis of Chi-square results shows that the physical and motor development, social and emotional development, and cognitive development of the children are statistically significantly associated with the gender, type of family, and domicile of the respondents. Socioeconomic status is positively correlated with children’s physical and motor development, social and emotional development, and cognitive development Conclusion: The present study findings indicate that the need on prioritizing the interventions related to enhancing the socioeconomic status of the families living with children between the age group of 0-6 years. Creating awareness of existing employment generation schemes and joining self-help groups to generate income in the families would enhance their socioeconomic status which will also show greater influence on the children's health.

description: Graded bundles are a class of graded manifolds which represent a natural generalisation of vector bundles and include the higher order tangent bundles as canonical examples. We present and study the concept of the linearisation of graded bundle which allows us to define the notion of the linear dual of a graded bundle. They are examples of double structures, graded-linear ($\mathcal{GL}$) bundles, including double vector bundles as a particular case. On $\mathcal{GL}$-bundles we define what we shall call weighted algebroids, which are to be understood as algebroids in the category of graded bundles. They can be considered as a geometrical framework for higher order Lagrangian mechanics. Canonical examples are reductions of higher tangent bundles of Lie groupoids. Weighted algebroids represent also a generalisation of $\mathcal{VB}$-algebroids as defined by Gracia-Saz & Mehta and the $\mathcal{LA}$-bundles of Mackenzie. The resulting structures are strikingly similar to Voronov's higher Lie algebroids, however our approach does not require the initial structures to be defined on supermanifolds.

description: Conducting a scientific literature review is a time consuming activity. This holds for both finding and comparing the related literature. In this paper, we present a workflow and system designed to, among other things, compare research contributions in a scientific knowledge graph. In order to compare contributions, multiple tasks are performed, including finding similar contributions, mapping properties and visualizing the comparison. The presented workflow is implemented in the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) which enables researchers to find and compare related literature. A preliminary evaluation has been conducted with researchers. Results show that researchers are satisfied with the usability of the user interface, but more importantly, they acknowledge the need and usefulness of contribution comparisons.

description: In this paper, we recover sparse signals from their noisy linear measurements by solving nonlinear differential inclusions, which is based on the notion of inverse scale space (ISS) developed in applied mathematics. Our goal here is to bring this idea to address a challenging problem in statistics, \emph{i.e.} finding the oracle estimator which is unbiased and sign-consistent using dynamics. We call our dynamics \emph{Bregman ISS} and \emph{Linearized Bregman ISS}. A well-known shortcoming of LASSO and any convex regularization approaches lies in the bias of estimators. However, we show that under proper conditions, there exists a bias-free and sign-consistent point on the solution paths of such dynamics, which corresponds to a signal that is the unbiased estimate of the true signal and whose entries have the same signs as those of the true signs, \emph{i.e.} the oracle estimator. Therefore, their solution paths are regularization paths better than the LASSO regularization path, since the points on the latter path are biased when sign-consistency is reached. We also show how to efficiently compute their solution paths in both continuous and discretized settings: the full solution paths can be exactly computed piece by piece, and a discretization leads to \emph{Linearized Bregman iteration}, which is a simple iterative thresholding rule and easy to parallelize. Theoretical guarantees such as sign-consistency and minimax optimal $l_2$-error bounds are established in both continuous and discrete settings for specific points on the paths. Early-stopping rules for identifying these points are given. The key treatment relies on the development of differential inequalities for differential inclusions and their discretizations, which extends the previous results and leads to exponentially fast recovering of sparse signals before selecting wrong ones.

description: 21𝑠𝑡 -century organisations can only learn how to respond effec- tively to, and recover from, adverse information security incidents if their employees report any incidents they notice. This should happen irrespective of whether or not they themselves triggered the incident. Organisations have started to inform their employ- ees about their incident reporting obligations. However, there is little research that organisations can benefit from to make their reporting provisions maximally effective. For this work, we follow a multi-step approach. (1) We review the related research on report- ing, including reporting reluctance, and the legalities of incident reporting in the European Union. (2) We explain how we developed variations of information texts that raise awareness of incident re- porting obligations and aim to ameliorate reporting reluctance. (3) We conducted an online user study (n=257) to identify the most ef- fective information text. (4) The most effective text was deployed by the CISO of a German energy company and we collected feedback from 24 employees to support a qualitative analysis. We discuss our experiences and the implications of such information text design. We make recommendations for encouraging information security incident reporting and suggest future work.
The Dynamics of Unemployment in Nigeria: 2000-2023

description: Unemployment is a pervasive socioeconomic challenge that has far-reaching implications for individuals, communities, and nations. Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, has grappled with persistently high levels of unemployment over the past two decades. This study explores the dynamics of unemployment in Nigeria from 2000 to 2023, shedding light on the multifaceted factors that have contributed to this phenomenon.
Drawing upon a comprehensive review of academic literature, government reports, and statistical data, this research offers a holistic analysis of the patterns and determinants of unemployment in Nigeria. It examines the structural and cyclical factors that have influenced the labor market and the impact of government policies and interventions in addressing this issue.
The study also explores the demographic and regional disparities in unemployment rates, shedding light on how various age groups and geographical areas have been affected differently. It further investigates the relationship between educational attainment and unemployment, as well as the informal sector's role in absorbing the surplus labor force.
As Nigeria seeks to harness its demographic dividend and foster economic growth, understanding the dynamics of unemployment is paramount. This research not only provides a retrospective analysis but also offers forward-looking insights into potential strategies and policy recommendations that could alleviate unemployment in Nigeria in the coming years. Addressing unemployment is not only an economic imperative but also a crucial step toward achieving social stability and sustainable development in this vibrant African nation.

description: The boundaries between products and services are vanishing and offers such as hybrid product service bundles, are becoming increasingly important. These solutions are referred to as Product Service Systems (PSS), which address individual customer needs as problem-oriented solutions. In order to enable the configuration of such systems as well as the possibility of planning and supporting services on the basis of a holistic model, a data model that contains both product and service information as well as their dependencies, is required. For this purpose, existing CAD models must be extended with further information. These are e.g. maintenance intervals of parts, costs of the parts, or also index numbers for the complexity of installation. This paper shows how to enrich a CAD model by integrating information into it and creating an interface with Excel. Thereby, the model can be used by different actors in the PSS for configuration and development, service planning and support of service technicians. Finally the approach for enriching a CAD model is implemented using the example of an engine test bench.

description: We present an advanced model for intraslab seismicity in the Hikurangi and Puysegur subduction zones. To develop the model, we use improved datasets: a geospatial configuration of the subduction geometry, an updated earthquake catalogue and a regional moment tensor solution catalogue. We adopt two different strategies, areal zonation of uniform seismicity and smooth-seismicity distribution. The areal zonation is implemented by demarcating shallower (≤40 km) and deeper (>40 km) regions of the slabs. We find that the overall seismicity in both Hikurangi and Puysegur slabs agrees with Gutenberg-Richter b-value ~1.0. However, the shallower regions in these zones have lower b-values. On the other hand, the Hikurangi slab exhibits a seismicity rate, with a larger a-value. The smooth-seismicity distribution is realised through a quasi-3D approach using a declustered catalogue. The key steps in this approach are (1) delineation of mid-slab, (2) orthogonal projections of hypocentres onto the mid-slab, (3) generation of a uniform grid of 0.1° on the mid-slab and (4) application of gaussian smoothing. The maximum magnitude is conjectured to range between MW 8.0 and 8.3, based on the historical largest intraslab earthquakes across the globe. Lastly, we analyse the focal mechanism dataset to construct a model for finite-rupture geometry. This model has average strike angles sub-parallel to subduction trenches and median dip angles ≥60°. The distribution of rake angles suggests that the Hikurangi slab has an extensional regime in the shallower parts, while the deeper parts exhibit a compressional regime, indicative of slab flexuring. On other hand, the Puysegur slab predominantly exhibits a compressional regime. (The authors)
Including birefringence into time evolution of CMB: current and future constraints

description: We introduce birefringence effects within the propagation history of CMB, considering the two cases of a constant effect and of an effect that increases linearly in time, as the rotation of polarization induced by birefringence accumulates during photon propagation. Both cases result into a mixing of E and B modes before lensing effects take place, thus leading to the fact that lensing is acting on spectra that are already mixed because of birefringence. Moreover, if the polarization rotation angle increases during propagation, birefringence affects more the large scales that the small scales. We put constraints on the two cases using data from WMAP 9yr and BICEP 2013 and compare these results with the constraints obtained when the usual procedure of rotating the final power spectra is adopted, finding that this dataset combination is unable to distinguish between effects, but it nevertheless hints for a non vanishing value of the polarization rotation angle. We also forecast the sensitivity that will be obtained using data from Planck and PolarBear, highlighting how this combination is capable to rule out a vanishing birefringence angle, but still unable to distinguish the different scenarios. Nevertheless, we find that the combination of Planck and PolarBear is sensitive enough to highlight the existence of degeneracies between birefringence rotation and gravitational lensing of CMB photons, possibly leading to false detection of non standard lensing effects if birefringence is neglected.

We also prove that asymptotically, such graphs contain at most $2^{(5+o(1))t}n$ cliques, where $o(1)$ tends to zero as $t$ tends to infinity. This strongly answers a question of D.

description: The instrumentalization of biometric data orchestrated through surveillance technologies can press today’s users of communication tools, devices, and platforms to opt out of such systems. This graduate research thesis aims to reveal the imperceptible forces that underwrite recognition technologies, through a series of experiments and the creation of multimedia installations that address the unethical relationship between active users and structures of control. Initiated at Emily Carr University, Vancouver, from September 2020 to May 2022, this research project hopes to uncover new possibilities for machine learning systems to propose protective devices based on image datasets composed of theatrical masks. This project explores the potential to apply generative models simultaneously as a response to facial recognition technology and as a mode of resistance to the dominance of these models. Finally, this research contributes to raising awareness toward extractive systems and surveillance technologies, while questioning the impact of artificial intelligence and its potential future outcomes.

description: This article gives an exposition of the deformation theory for pairs $(X, E)$, where $X$ is a compact complex manifold and $E$ is a holomorphic vector bundle over $X$, adapting an analytic viewpoint à la Kodaira-Spencer. By introducing and exploiting an auxiliary differential operator, we derive the Maurer--Cartan equation and differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) governing the deformation problem, and express them in terms of differential-geometric notions such as the connection and curvature of $E$, obtaining a chain level refinement of the classical results that the tangent space and obstruction space of the moduli problem are respectively given by the first and second cohomology groups of the Atiyah extension of $E$ over $X$. As an application, we give examples where deformations of pairs are unobstructed.

description: Tourism in the textile industry has tremendous potential for future growth and development of local economies and rural communities, building upon the services provided by local governments. This study focuses on Khadi textile business operations, with a particular emphasis on textile-based businesses, and provides visitor perceptions of textile tourism. It discusses the possibilities and challen- ges in the local textile industry, including the diculties faced by the weavers in marketing their goods to tourists and exporters. The questionnaire survey applied to 120 visitors from three different khadi shops in Kozhikode, Kerala. According to the study's findings, textile business centres require strategic promotional approaches to boost textile tourism. The major hurdle for weavers and independent producers is a lack of direct access to visitors, as well as access to information controlled by producers, commercial interests, and gallery owners. more in the future to expand the reach of this type of tourism. The potential role that the government and tourism authorities may play an important role in designing policies that may grant this form of tourism increased visibility.

description: User-generated content (UGC) can be found in various forms and on many digital platforms, from pictures and videos to reviews, rating stars, and comments. UGC platforms thrive on the content created by end-users to others like them. The objective of this study is to analyze how Internet users use websites and platforms that contain UGC and what is the role of UGC in trip planning in the form of information collection and perceived impact on their decision. This article investigates differences in influence on travelers between several types of popular UGC platforms – a booking platform, a review platform, and a social networking site (Airbnb, TripAdvisor, and Facebook, respectively) and explores how these platforms create interest towards a destination as well as the perceived impact on the decision-making process. Research is extended into the comparison of user perception between user-generated content and business-generated content. The obtained results provide valuable insights for all tourism-related businesses, especially related to the potential of UGC and differences across various types of platforms.

description: The parameters of the Higgs potential of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) receive large radiative corrections which lift the mass of the lightest Higgs boson to the measured value of 126 GeV. Depending on the MSSM parameters, these radiative corrections may also lead to the situation that the local minimum corresponding to the electroweak vacuum state is not the global minimum of the Higgs potential. We analyze the stability of the vacuum for the case of heavy squark masses as favored by current LHC data. To this end we first consider an effective Lagrangian obtained by integrating out the heavy squarks and then study the MSSM one-loop effective potential V_eff, which comprises all higher-dimensional Higgs couplings of the effective Lagrangian. We find that only the second method gives correct results and argue that the criterion of vacuum stability should be included in phenomenological analyses of the allowed MSSM parameter space. Discussing the cases of squark masses of 1 and 2 TeV we show that the criterion of vacuum stability excludes a portion of the MSSM parameter space in which (mu tanbeta) and A_t are large.

title: 5 March 2021 tsunami in Whangarei: post-tsunami field survey and numerical modelling
Creators: name: Roger, Jean H.
Publisher: name: GNS Science
Year: 2022

description: The 5 March 2021 tsunami triggered by the Mw 8.1 Raoul Island earthquake propagated on a Pacific-wide scale. Being one of the countries closest to the epicentre, New Zealand issued a tsunami warning which was quickly confirmed by the New Zealand DART network and the coastal tsunami gauges. Preliminary modelling of wave propagation showed that some places in the Northland New Zealand, especially along the east coast of the Whangārei District, could have seen wave amplitudes of 1 m and more. A two-day field survey has been conducted by GNS Science in the aftermath of the event to find evidences of the tsunami. The results of the survey are presented in this report. Further high-resolution modelling results are compared to the observations and testimonies and confirm the low impact of the tsunami. (The author)

description: Probabilistic constellation shaping has been used in long-haul optically amplified coherent systems for its capability to approach the Shannon limit and realize fine rate granularity. The availability of high-bandwidth optical-electronic components and the previously mentioned advantages have invigorated researchers to explore probabilistic shaping (PS) in intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IM/DD) systems. This article presents an extensive comparison of uniform 8-ary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) with PS PAM-8 using cap and cup Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) distributions as well as MB distributions of different Gaussian orders. We report that in the presence of linear equalization, PS-PAM-8 outperforms uniform PAM-8 in terms of bit error ratio, achievable information rate and operational net bit rate indicating that cap-shaped PS-PAM-8 shows high tolerance against nonlinearities. In this paper, we have focused our investigations on O-band electro-absorption modulated laser unamplified IM/DD systems, which are operated close to the zero dispersion wavelength.

description: Η σημερινή εποχή έχει χαρακτηριστεί ως εποχή της ραγδαίας ανάπτυξης της
τεχνολογίας. Μετά την επανάσταση του υπολογιστή και του διαδικτύου, γεννήθηκε ο όρος “Industry 4.0”, που είναι η επόμενη τεχνολογική επανάσταση. Στη παρούσα εργασία, αρχικά θα γίνει εισαγωγή στις βασικές έννοιες, στα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά και τις θεμελιώδεις αρχές της Industry 4.0, και θα αναλυθούν οι αλλαγές και οι προοπτικές που πρόκειται να φέρει στο χώρο της βιομηχανίας και των επιχειρήσεων. Οι τεχνολογίες που συνθέτουν την Industry 4.0 επιτρέπουν τη δικτύωση των συσκευών (Internet of Things) για την ανταλλαγή δεδομένων και την επικοινωνία μεταξύ τους αλλά και με τον άνθρωπο. Σε δεύτερο στάδιο θα εξεταστεί ο ρόλος της  επιχειρηματικής ευφυΐας, της αναλυτικής και των μεγάλων δεδομένων στην Industry 4.0 και η σημασία τους στην διαχείριση και αξιοποίηση του τεράστιου όγκου δεδομένων σε επιχειρήσεις και οργανισμούς. Τέλος, θα αναλυθεί ο τρόπος με τον οποίο η Industry 4.0 θα συμβάλλει στην αναδιοργάνωση των σύγχρονων επιχειρήσεων και στην πλέον έξυπνη λήψη αποφάσεων χωρίς την ανθρώπινη παρέμβαση.

description: Recently Penskoi [J. Geom. Anal. 25 (2015), 2645-2666, arXiv:1308.1628] generalized the well known two-parametric family of Lawson tau-surfaces $τ_{r,m}$ minimally immersed in spheres to a three-parametric family $T_{a,b,c}$ of tori and Klein bottles minimally immersed in spheres. It was remarked that this family includes surfaces carrying all extremal metrics for the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the torus and on the Klein bottle: the Clifford torus, the equilateral torus and surprisingly the bipolar Lawson Klein bottle $\tildeτ_{3,1}$. In the present paper we show in Theorem 1 that this three-parametric family $T_{a,b,c}$ includes in fact all bipolar Lawson tau-surfaces $\tildeτ_{r,m}$. In Theorem 3 we show that no metric on generalized Lawson surfaces is maximal except for $\tildeτ_{3,1}$ and the equilateral torus.

description: The Internet and the world wide web are fundamental locations within our e-World - thus emerging new e-source of health and healthcare information that are an essential part of the changes in the medical tourism industry. The issues related to the challenges and problems that medical tourists face and the reliability of the information that influences their decision-making need special attention since much fake advertising, news, and business is distributed through social media and targeted medical tourists. A blog is different from other social media since the reader can identify the blogger; therefore, trust is unique. Considering past research on medical tourism and blogs, this study examines whether medical blogs would impact potential medical tourists settling on a choice of healthcare abroad. Data were collected from 143 blog readers and analyzed through Amos. Results showed that information usefulness and blog credibility are the key determinants inuencing medical blog readers' intention to travel to destinations for treatments. Many people consider blogs as self-reported and reliable compared to the information on social media, which many people question its reliability and do not trust the information. Therefore, ignoring this information and area of research is not possible.

description: We point out a weak side of the commonly used determination of scalar cosmological perturbations lying in the fact that their average values can be nonzero for some matter distributions. It is shown that introduction of the finite-range gravitational potential instead of the infinite-range one resolves this problem. The concrete illustrative density profile is investigated in detail in this connection.
