Subjects: subject: 170202 Decision Making
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Inequity aversion and reciprocity have been identified as two primary motivations underlying human decision making. However, because income and wealth inequality exist to some degree in all societies, these two key motivations can point to different decisions. In particular, when a beneficiary is less wealthy than a benefactor, a reciprocal action can lead to greater inequality. In this paper we report data from a trust game variant where trustees’ responses to kind intentions generate inequality in favor of investors. In relation to a standard trust game treatment where trustees’ responses reduce inequality, the proportion of non-reciprocal decisions is twice as large when reciprocity promotes inequality. Moreover, we find investors expect that this will be the case. Overall, we find a majority (more than half) of trustees do not reciprocate when reciprocity increases inequality that favors investors. Our results call attention to the potential importance of inequality in principal-agent relationships and have important implications for policies aimed at promoting cooperation.

description: Herein, we report the tribological behaviour of CNT-304 stainless steel composites at room (28°C) and high temperatures (200°C). Nanocomposites of various CNT concentrations, namely 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 wt%, were prepared. A significant amount of grain refinement resulted in an increase in CNT loading. A tribological study was carried out at 28°C and 200°C. Wear resistance was found to enhance with an increase in CNT concentration at both temperatures. However, a slightly higher wear rate was observed at 200°C for the samples with CNT content < 3 wt% than their corresponding low-temperature values. About 86%, 91% drop-in wear rate was seen in 2.0 wt% CNT-304 SS, and 4.0 wt% CNT-304SS, respectively, as compared to pure SS at 28°C, which is 54% and 88% decrease at 200°C and is very promising. The decrease in wear volume with CNT content at both temperatures can be ascribed to the self-lubricating and reinforcing nature of CNTs in the metal matrix composites. Severe abrasive wear in the pristine SS samples was slowly changed to mild abrasive and lubricated wear in composites. A systematic study on the tribological behaviour of CNT-SS composites can shed light on the benefits and detriments of using them for various applications. HighlightsIncorporation of CNTs into 304 SS matrix caused grain refinement.Wear rate decreased with CNT content and 4.0 wt% CNT-SS showed minimum wear rate while pristine gave the maximum at both 28°C and 200°C.About 86% and 54% decrease in wear rate were observed for 2.0 wt% CNT-304 SS at 28°C and 200°C respectively as compared to the pristine 304 SS sample.Wear rate at 200°C was slightly more than that of room temperature (28°C) for CNT content < 3 wt%.The 3.0 wt% CNT-304 SS and 4.0 wt% CNT-304 SS showed nearly the same wear rate at both ambient and 200°C test. Incorporation of CNTs into 304 SS matrix caused grain refinement. Wear rate decreased with CNT content and 4.0 wt% CNT-SS showed minimum wear rate while pristine gave the maximum at both 28°C and 200°C.

Information-Probabilistic description of the Universe

description: We describe the universe as a single entangled ensemble of quantum particles. The total entropy of this world ensemble, which can be expressed as a sum of information, thermodynamic and entanglement components, is assumed to be always zero. This condition suggests information quantization, which we associate with the Planck's action. Then the entropy neutrality condition for the universe leads to the zero-action principle. We show that the main concepts of classical space-time and gravity naturally emerge in this picture. A generalized least action principle, which embraces the maximal entropy principles of information theory, is introduced.

description: We propose a circuit-level backdoor attack, \textit{QTrojan}, against Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) in this paper. QTrojan is implemented by few quantum gates inserted into the variational quantum circuit of the victim QNN. QTrojan is much stealthier than a prior Data-Poisoning-based Backdoor Attack (DPBA), since it does not embed any trigger in the inputs of the victim QNN or require the access to original training datasets. Compared to a DPBA, QTrojan improves the clean data accuracy by 21\% and the attack success rate by 19.9\%.

description: We analyze the performance of a Brownian ratchet in the presence of geometrical constraints. A two-state model that describes the kinetics of molecular motors is used to characterize the energetic cost when the motor proceeds under confinement, in the presence of an external force. We show that the presence of geometrical constraints has a strong effect on the performance of the motor. In particular, we show that it is possible to enhance the ratchet performance by a proper tuning of the parameters characterizing the environment. These results open the possibility of engineering entropically-optimized transport devices.

We find that the theories admit colored Lifshitz solutions with dynamic exponents $z>1$. We study the wave equations of the $SU(2)$ scalar triplet in the bulk, and find that the vacuum color modifies the scaling dimensions of the dual operators. We also introduce a Maxwell field and construct exact solutions of electrically-charged black holes that asymptote to the $D=4$, $z=3$ and $D=5$, $z=4$ colored Lifshitz spacetimes. We derive the thermodynamical first law for general colored and charged Lifshitz black holes.

description: 'All sound is an integration of grains, of elementary sonic particles, of sonic quanta. Each of these elementary grains has a threefold nature: duration, frequency, and intensity. All sound, even all continuous sonic variation, is conceived as an assemblage of a large number of elementary grains adequately disposed in time. So every sonic complex can be analyzed as a series of pure sinusoidal sounds even if the variations of these sinusoidal sounds are infinitely close, short, and complex. In the attack, body, and decline of a complex sound, thousands of pure sounds appear in a more or less short interval of time, Δt. Hecatombs of pure sounds are necessary for the creation of a complex sound. A complex sound may be imagined as a multi-colored firework in which each point of light appears and instantaneously disappears against a black sky. But in this firework there would be such a quantity of points oflight organized in such a way that their rapid and teeming succession would create forms and spirals, slowly unfolding, or conversely, briefexplosions setting the whole sky aflame. A line oflight would be created by a sufficiently large multitude of points appearing and disappearing instantaneously.'

description: A classical spin model derived ab initio for rare-earth-based permanent magnet compounds is presented. Our target compound, NdFe$_{12}$N, is a material that goes beyond today's champion magnet compound Nd$_{2}$Fe$_{14}$B in its intrinsic magnetic properties with a simpler crystal structure. Calculated temperature dependence of the magnetization and the anisotropy field agree with the latest experimental results in the leading order. Having put the realistic observables under our numerical control, we propose that engineering $5d$-electron-mediated indirect exchange coupling between $4f$-electrons in Nd and $3d$-electrons from Fe would most critically help to enhance the material's utility over the operation-temperature range.

description: Runoff processes in glacier and páramo catchments in the Andean region are of interest as they are vitally important to serve the water needs of surrounding communities. Particularly in Northern Ecuador, the runoff processes are less well-known due to the high variability of precipitation, young volcanic ash soil properties, soil moisture dynamics and other local factors. Previous studies have shown that the melting of glaciers contributes to runoff generation and that the páramo ecosystem plays an important role in regulating runoff during periods of low precipitation. Data collection and experimental investigations were carried out in a catchment of 15.2 km2 and altitude ranging between 4000 and 5700 m above sea level. Environmental tracers and hydrochemical catchment characterization were used for identifying runoff sources and their respective contributions during dry and wet conditions. Dry conditions are defined as periods where precipitation was absent for at least three consecutive days and wet conditions imply rainfall events. This study highlights the importance of the páramo on contributing to total runoff during baseflow (70% of total runoff) and the capacity of the páramo to dissipate the stream energy and buffer the peak flow during rainfall conditions. Electrical conductivity together with stable isotopes were identified as conservative tracers that characterize the end-member concentrations.

description: Hanle magnetoresistance (HMR) is a type of magnetoresistance where interplay of the spin Hall effect, Hanle-type spin precession, and spin-dependent scattering at the top/bottom surfaces in a heavy metal controls the effect. In this study, we modulate HMR in ultrathin Pt by ionic gating, where the surface Rashba field created by a strong electric field at the interface between the ionic gate and Pt plays the dominant role in the modulation. This finding can facilitate investigations of gate-tunable, spin-related effects and fabrication of spin devices.

description: Vegetation in freshwater and coastal ecosystems modifies flows, retains sediment, protects banks and shorelines from erosion. Hydraulic laboratory studies with live vegetation or artificial plant mimics, or numerical models with abstracted patches, are often used to quantify the effects of vegetation on water flow and sedimentation. However, the choice of plant and patch characteristics is often not supported by field observations of patch dimensions, density or spacing between consecutive patches. The discrepancy between plants in natural conditions and in flume experiments or numerical studies may affect the relevance of these findings for natural ecosystems. In this study, we provide guidelines for building realistic vegetation patches in hydraulic studies. We collected data on four species of fully submerged freshwater aquatic macrophytes that can grow into well-defined patches. We considered three relevant levels: individual plants (inside patches), isolated patches and multiple neighbouring patches. At the plant level, we observed significant differences in biomechanical traits (Young’s modulus, flexural stiffness), resulting in stem Cauchy numbers ranging from 85.25 to 325.84, and leaf Cauchy numbers from 163.81 to 2003.97. At the patch level, we found significant relationships between patch length, width and height, showing covariation among different patch characteristics. The relationships among patch dimensions differed significantly among sampling sites for three of the four species, suggesting high intraspecific variability in patch sizes. By providing a first set of guidelines for choosing correct and ecologically relevant plant characteristics, this dataset aims to improve our understanding of the complex processes occurring inside and around submerged vegetated patches.

description: We report the discovery of a new, low luminosity star cluster in the outer halo of the Milky Way. High quality $gr$ photometry is presented, from which a color-magnitude diagram is constructed, and estimates of age, [Fe/H], [$α$/Fe], and distance are derived. The star cluster, which we designate as Kim 2, lies at a heliocentric distance of $\sim105$ kpc. With a half-light radius of $\sim12.8$ pc and ellipticity of $ε\sim0.12$, it shares the properties of outer halo GCs, except for the higher metallicity ([Fe/H]$\sim-1.0$) and lower luminosity ($M_{V}\sim-1.5)$. These parameters are similar to those for the globular cluster AM 4, that is considered to be associated with the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find evidence of dynamical mass segregation and the presence of extra-tidal stars that suggests Kim 2 is most likely a star cluster. Spectroscopic observations for radial-velocity membership and chemical abundance measurements are needed to further understand the nature of the object.

A Proactive Means for Incorporating a Software Architecture Evaluation in a DoD System Acquisition

description: Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition programs routinely acquire systems that are highly software reliant. With the increasing functionality and complexity of these systems, software problems often contribute to schedule slippages, cost overruns, and system deficiencies. As a result, DoD acquisition organizations need to take proactive measures to reduce software acquisition risk. They cannot afford to just perform perfunctory reviews during software development and wait until after system delivery to determine whether key performance parameters (KPPs) and other acquisition/mission drivers that are important to stakeholders will be achieved.

Since the architectural design of a system and its software has a major influence on whether a system achieves its KPPs (and other acquisition/mission drivers), conducting an architecture evaluation is an effective means for reducing software acquisition risk. The evaluation involves the active participation of key stakeholders and focuses on identifying risks (and overarching risk themes) that can affect the architecture's ability to accommodate the system's quality attribute requirements (e.g., performance, safety, and security). Satisfying these quality attribute requirements is key to satisfying KPPs and other stakeholder-specific acquisition/mission drivers.

This technical note describes a proactive means for incorporating such a software architecture evaluation (in collaboration with the development contractor) early in the contract performance phase of a DoD system acquisition. The proven means that is described revolves around a sample Software Architecture Evaluation Plan that a DoD program office can easily customize and use in its own Request for Proposal (RFP)/contract. The sample plan covers all aspects-that is, the "who, why, when, where, and how"-of the government's approach to conducting a software architecture evaluation during an acquisition. Moreover, this sample plan provides acquisition organizations and potential offerors with the insight needed to understand the impact of, and government's expectations for, proactively conducting a software architecture evaluation in an acquisition context.

description: The growing use of commercial software products in large systems makes evaluation and selection of appropriate products an increasingly essential activity. However, many organizations struggle in their attempts to select appropriate software products for use in systems. As part of a cooperative effort, the Software Engineering Institute and National Research Council Canada have defined a tailorable commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software product evaluation process that can support organizations in making carefully reasoned and sound product decisions. The background fundamentals for that evaluation process, as well as steps and techniques to follow, are described in this report.

description: In this work, a cosmological model is considered having two scalar fields minimally coupled to gravity with a mixed kinetic term. The model is characterized by the coupling function and the potential function which are assumed to depend on one of the scalar fields. Instead of choosing these functions phenomenologically here, they are evaluated assuming the existence of Noether symmetry. By appropriate choice of a point transformation in the augmented space, one of the variables in the Lagrangian becomes cyclic and the evolution equations become much simpler to have solutions. Finally, the solutions are analyzed from cosmological view point.

description: The methodology of sampling is used across disciplines and spans a wide frame from the sampling as a reuse of a musical theme or portion in another record to the sampling in environmental sciences for the exploration of a site, material or context. The design of a sample is based on its purpose and unfolds its character in the specific preparation of the object, which depends on its subsequent use. Converting an ordinary object into a sample requires its recontextualisation, as it has to be taken out somewhere to be rearranged somewhere else, including a whole set of translations and transformations. Samples exhibit validity in more than one system and furthermore link one with the other. The nature scientific object sample is comprised of the critical momentum of fact and artefact, where the borders between natural and artificial, abstention and intervention, are in constant shift. – Lena Heins

description: The safety, security, and resilience of international postal, shipping, and transportation critical infrastructure are vital to the global supply chain that enables worldwide commerce and communications. But security on an international scale continues to fail in the face of new threats. Owners and operators of critical postal, shipping, and transportation operations need new methods to identify, assess, and mitigate security risks and gaps in the most effective manner possible. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, in collaboration with the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and the CERT® Division at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute, developed a physical security assessment method to identify gaps in the security of international mail processing centers and similar shipping and transportation processing facilities. This assessment method and its associated field instrument are designed to be repeatable, cost effective, scalable, accurate, meaningful, and transparent. Since the method uses UPU standards as its reference, it may be used by the international community to evaluate the security of postal administrations around the world. The method also can be applied to other types of critical transportation services, such as metropolitan transit systems. This report describes the history, development approach, field experiences, and benefits of this method.

description: As software systems become more distributed and complex, maintaining privacy of data and en-suring data integrity remain challenges for software practitioners. Developing such systems not only poses technical challenges but also demands compliance with privacy laws. Engineering pre-cise privacy requirements is an important step in building these software systems. This technical note explores the use of a disciplined approach to identifying privacy requirements, primarily how the Security Quality Requirements Engineering (SQUARE) process, which was developed for security requirements engineering, can be adapted for privacy requirements engineering in soft-ware development.

description: The spatial prediction of flood inundation, in the monsoon months (July–October), around the downstream southern part of the Damodar River Basin (Hooghly and Howrah districts of West Bengal) is very uncertain due to analytical lack of database, channel hydraulics and steady or unsteady flow anomaly. Using techniques of flood hydrology and HEC-RAS module of flood prediction, this study estimated the critical hydrological range of recurrent floods (1651–1822 m3 s−1 peak discharge) which are annually observed in the low-lying active floodplains of lower basin. The four days heavy rainfall (52.5 to 268 mm), yielded a runoff range of 10–207 mm which triggered maximum discharge of 7035 m3 s−1, causing havoc flood at downstream. There is possibility of channel shifting and embankmnet breaching during floods in the Mundeswari and Damodar/Amta channel, as Unit Stream Power can exceed 30 Wm−2 in tweleve cross-section stations. During 5-year and 10-year flood event (6676 m3 s−1) the floodplain inundation depth can reach 4–12 m in the Khanakul, and Udaynarayanpur region, having maximum chance of overbank flow. The most vulnerable site of embankment failure and overbank flow is stretch between Rajbalhat and Udaynarayanpur where the flood depth can cross 10 m limit for the critical discharge of 1811 m3 s−1. The flood risk is aggravated because within 42.5 km stretch of lower Damodar the channel can accommodate maximum flow of 1378 m3 s−1 (average flow area of 687 m2) at upstream cross-sections, but at downstream cross-sections the carrying capacity of channel is reduced to 1081 m3 s−1 (21.55 percent reduction) due to increasing siltation and decreasing average flow area (478 m2).

description: This paper describes a dynamic sustainment model that shows how budgeting, allocation of resources, mission performance, and strategic planning are interrelated and how they affect each other over time. Each of these processes is owned by a different stakeholder, so a decision made by one stakeholder might affect performance in a different organization. Worse, delaying a decision to fund some work might result in much longer delays and much greater costs to several of the organizations.
The SEI developed and calibrated a systems dynamic model that shows interactions of various stakeholders over time and the results of four realistic scenarios. The current model has been calibrated with data from the F/A-18 and EA-18G Advanced Weapons Lab (AWL) at China Lake, CA.
The model makes it possible for a decision maker to study different decision scenarios and interpret the likely effects on other stakeholders in acquisition. In a scenario where sustainment infrastructure investment is shortchanged over a period of time, the tipping point phenomenon is shown in the results of the calibrated model.

description: In this short note we show how the Generalised Uncertainty Principle (GUP) and the Extended Uncertainty Principle (EUP), two of the most common generalised uncertainty relations proposed in the quantum gravity literature, can be derived within the context of canonical quantum theory, without the need for modified commutation relations. A GUP-type relation naturally emerges when the standard position operator is replaced by an appropriate Positive Operator Valued Measure (POVM), representing a finite-accuracy measurement that localises the quantum wave packet to within a spatial region $σ_g > 0$. This length scale is the standard deviation of the envelope function, $g$, that defines the POVM elements. Similarly, an EUP-type relation emerges when the standard momentum operator is replaced by a POVM that localises the wave packet to within a region $\tildeσ_g > 0$ in momentum space. The usual GUP and EUP are recovered by setting $σ_g \simeq \sqrt{\hbar G/c^3}$, the Planck length, and $\tildeσ_g \simeq \hbar\sqrt{Λ/3}$, where $Λ$ is the cosmological constant. Crucially, the canonical Hamiltonian and commutation relations, and, hence, the canonical Schr{\" o}dinger and Heisenberg equations, remain unchanged. This demonstrates that GUP and EUP phenomenology can be obtained without modified commutators, which are known to lead to various pathologies, including violation of the equivalence principle, violation of Lorentz invariance in the relativistic limit, the reference frame-dependence of the `minimum' length, and the so-called soccer ball problem for multi-particle states.

description: A model is presented that allows the characterization of the maturity of a profession in terms of eight infrastructure components: initial professional education, accreditation, skills development, certification, licensing, professional development, a code of ethics, and a professional society. Several mature professions are examined to provide examples of the nature of these components. The current states of the components of software engineering are described, and predictions are made for the evolution of those components as the profession matures.

description: The purpose of this paper is to challenge the existing paradigm on which contemporary models of generalised uncertainty relations (GURs) are based, that is, the assumption of modified commutation relations. We review an array of theoretical problems that arise in modified commutator models, including those that have been discussed in depth and others that have received comparatively little attention, or have not been considered at all in the existing literature, with the aim of stimulating discussion on these topics. We then show how an apparently simple assumption can solve, or, more precisely, evade these issues, by generating GURs without modifying the basic form of the canonical Heisenberg algebra. This simplicity is deceptive, however, as the necessary assumption is found to have huge implications for the quantisation of space-time and, therefore, gravity. These include the view that quantum space-time should be considered as a quantum reference frame (QRF) and, crucially, that the action scale characterising the quantum effects of gravity, $β$, must be many orders of magnitude smaller than Planck's constant, $β\sim 10^{-61} \times \hbar$, in order to recover the present day dark energy density. We argue that these proposals should be taken seriously, as a potential solution to the pathologies that plague minimum length models based on modified commutators, and that their implications should be explored as thoroughly as those of the existing paradigm, which has dominated research in this area for almost three decades.

description: A software product line organization exists to produce products. Much of the research on creating products via product lines has focused on developing core assets such as requirements, architectures, and components. This technical note presents the results of a study that focused on how product line organizations create products (e.g., their production strategy and how core assets are used in the production process). These results include compiled responses to the questionnaire used in the study and follow-up interviews.

description: We describe a new geometry for electrostatic actuators to be used in sensitive laser interferometers. The arrangement consists of two plates at the sides of the mirror (test mass), and therefore does not reduce its clear aperture as a conventional electrostatic drive (ESD) would do. Using the sample case of the AEI-10m prototype interferometer, we investigate the actuation range and influences of relative misalignment of the ESD plates in respect to the test mass. We find that in the case of the AEI-10 m prototype interferometer, this new kind of ESD could provide a range of 0.28 micrometer when operated at a voltage of 1 kV. In addition, the geometry presented is shown to provide a reduction factor of about 100 in the magnitude of actuator motion coupling to test mass displacement. We show that therefore in the specific case of the AEI-10m interferometer it is possible to mount the ESD actuators directly on the optical table, without spoiling the seismic isolation performance of the triple stage suspension of the main test masses.

description: We study learning weak solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations (H-PDE), which have been difficult to learn due to discontinuities in their solutions. We use a physics-informed variant of the Fourier Neural Operator ($π$-FNO) to learn the weak solutions. We empirically quantify the generalization/out-of-sample error of the $π$-FNO solver as a function of input complexity, i.e., the distributions of initial and boundary conditions. Our testing results show that $π$-FNO generalizes well to unseen initial and boundary conditions. We find that the generalization error grows linearly with input complexity. Further, adding a physics-informed regularizer improved the prediction of discontinuities in the solution. We use the Lighthill-Witham-Richards (LWR) traffic flow model as a guiding example to illustrate the results.
