description: This deliverable presents the software components of the SUPERCLOUD distributed cloud infrastructure and security services for computation. We start by giving a general overview of the structure of the overall security framework for computation. We then present the software components of the framework organized into two separate infrastructures:

	a core virtualization infrastructure including components for virtualization and orchestration, system support for cross-layer security, hardware-based isolation and trust management using Intel SGX technology, and support for cloud FPGAs;
	and a self-management infrastructure including a security orchestrator and several security services covering authorization, security monitoring, geolocation-aware replication, SLA management,and software trust management.

The set of components should be viewed as a security toolbox to build customized U-Clouds hosting secure computations, selecting the needed security services to match user protection requirements. For each component, we describe its main APIs. We also provide information on how to access and use the developed software.
Search for new phenomena in events with an energetic jet and missing transverse momentum in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Results of a search for new physics in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum are reported. The search uses proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected in the period 2015-2018 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Compared to previous publications, in addition to an increase of almost a factor of four in the data size, the analysis implements a number of improvements in the signal selection and the background determination leading to enhanced sensitivity. Events are required to have at least one jet with transverse momentum above 150 GeV and no reconstructed leptons ($e$, $μ$ or $τ$) or photons. Several signal regions are considered with increasing requirements on the missing transverse momentum starting at 200 GeV. Overall agreement is observed between the number of events in data and the Standard Model predictions. Model-independent $95%$ confidence-level limits on visible cross sections for new processes are obtained in the range between 736 fb and 0.3 fb. Results are also translated into improved exclusion limits in models with pair-produced weakly interacting dark-matter candidates, large extra spatial dimensions, supersymmetric particles in several compressed scenarios, axion-like particles, and new scalar particles in dark-energy-inspired models. In addition, the data are translated into bounds on the invisible branching ratio of the Higgs boson.

description: We present an ab initio derivation method for effective low-energy Hamiltonians of material with strong spin-orbit interactions. The effective Hamiltonian is described in terms of the Wannier function in the spinor form, and effective interactions are derived with the constrained random phase approximation (cRPA) method. Based on this formalism and the developed code, we derive an effective Hamiltonian of a strong spin-orbit interaction material Ca5Ir3O12. This system consists of three edge-shared IrO6 octahedral chains arranged along the c axis, and the three Ir atoms in the ab plane compose a triangular lattice. For such a complicated structure, we need to set up the Wannier spinor function under the local coordinate system. We found that a density-functional band structure near the Fermi level is formed by local dxy and dyz orbitals. Then, we constructed the ab initio dxy/dyz model. The estimated nearest neighbor transfer t is close to 0.2 eV, and the cRPA onsite U and neighboring V electronic interactions are found to be 2.4-2.5 eV and 1 eV, respectively. The resulting characteristic correlation strength defined by (U-V)/t is above 7, and thus this material is classified as a strongly correlated electron system. The onsite transfer integral involved in the spin-orbit interaction is 0.2 eV, which is comparable to the onsite exchange integrals near 0.2 eV, indicating that the spin-orbit-interaction physics would compete with the Hund physics. Based on these calculated results, we discuss possible rich ground-state low-energy electronic structures of spin, charge and orbitals with competing Hund, spin-orbit and strong correlation physics.

Robot Learning of 6 DoF Grasping using Model-based Adaptive Primitives

Year: 2021

description: Robot learning is often simplified to planar manipulation due to its data consumption. Then, a common approach is to use a fully-convolutional neural network to estimate the reward of grasp primitives. In this work, we extend this approach by parametrizing the two remaining, lateral Degrees of Freedom (DoFs) of the primitives. We apply this principle to the task of 6 DoF bin picking: We introduce a model-based controller to calculate angles that avoid collisions, maximize the grasp quality while keeping the uncertainty small. As the controller is integrated into the training, our hybrid approach is able to learn about and exploit the model-based controller. After real-world training of 27000 grasp attempts, the robot is able to grasp known objects with a success rate of over 92% in dense clutter. Grasp inference takes less than 50ms. In further real-world experiments, we evaluate grasp rates in a range of scenarios including its ability to generalize to unknown objects. We show that the system is able to avoid collisions, enabling grasps that would not be possible without primitive adaption.

title: Wissensmanagement im Call-Center
Creators: name: Bauer, Martin
Year: 2007

description: Ziel der Arbeit war es, die praktische Umsetzung des Wissenskreislaufs im Call-Center zu untersuchen. Es wird gezeigt, in welchem Grad die theoretischen Ansprüche des Wissensmanagements in die Praxis umgesetzt werden und wie Wissensmanagement auf den unterschiedlichen Ebenen eines Call-Centers empfunden und gelebt wird. Call-Center werden heute aus betriebswirtschaftlicher Sicht unter Berücksichtigung von Marketinganliegen optimiert. Man versucht, das für Kunden gerade noch erträgliche Maß der Betreuung zu minimalen Kosten zu erreichen. Die dabei verwendeten Kennzahlen werden zu einem Großteil aus der Telefonanlage gewonnen. Vermeintliche Kennzahlen zur Kundenzufriedenheit, wie das Service-Level oder die mittlere Wartedauer, weisen neuesten Studien zufolge keine Korrelation mit der Kundenzufriedenheit auf. In der gängigen Call-Center-Literatur wird nicht auf Kennzahlen verwiesen, die auf die Qualität des Wissensmanagements rückschließen lassen. Es wurde daher versucht Kennzahlen zu entwickeln die auf Basis der vorhanden Daten, Wissensmanagement im Call-Center messbar machen. Weiters wird dargelegt, dass der Aspekt des Wissensmanagements im Call-Center ebenso wichtig ist wie die betriebswirtschaftlichen, technischen und marketingbezogenen Aspekte und die Call-Center-Praxis auf diesem Gebiet noch einiges aufzuholen hat. Als Basis wird der auch für Call-Center relevante Wissenskreislauf nach Probst verwendet. Die Schritte des Aufbaus, der Generalisierung, der Verteilung und der Anwendung von Wissen sowie die Aktualisierung werden dargestellt.

description: The unstructured sparsity after pruning poses a challenge to the efficient implementation of deep learning models in existing regular architectures like systolic arrays. On the other hand, coarse-grained structured pruning is suitable for implementation in regular architectures but tends to have higher accuracy loss than unstructured pruning when the pruned models are of the same size. In this work, we propose a model compression method based on a novel weight permutation scheme to fully exploit the fine-grained weight sparsity in the hardware design. Through permutation, the optimal arrangement of the weight matrix is obtained, and the sparse weight matrix is further compressed to a small and dense format to make full use of the hardware resources. Two pruning granularities are explored. In addition to the unstructured weight pruning, we also propose a more fine-grained subword-level pruning to further improve the compression performance. Compared to the state-of-the-art works, the matrix compression rate is significantly improved from 5.88x to 14.13x. As a result, the throughput and energy efficiency are improved by 2.75 and 1.86 times, respectively.

description: As the quantity and complexity of information processed by software systems increase, large-scale software systems have an increasing requirement for high-performance distributed computing systems. With the acceleration of the Internet in Web 2.0, Cloud computing as a paradigm to provide dynamic, uncertain and elastic services has shown superiorities to meet the computing needs dynamically. Without an appropriate scheduling approach, extensive Cloud computing may cause high energy consumptions and high cost, in addition that high energy consumption will cause massive carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, inappropriate scheduling will reduce the service life of physical devices as well as increase response time to users' request. Hence, efficient scheduling of resource or optimal allocation of request, that usually a NP-hard problem, is one of the prominent issues in emerging trends of Cloud computing. Focusing on improving quality of service (QoS), reducing cost and abating contamination, researchers have conducted extensive work on resource scheduling problems of Cloud computing over years. Nevertheless, growing complexity of Cloud computing, that the super-massive distributed system, is limiting the application of scheduling approaches. Machine learning, a utility method to tackle problems in complex scenes, is used to resolve the resource scheduling of Cloud computing as an innovative idea in recent years. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL), a combination of deep learning (DL) and reinforcement learning (RL), is one branch of the machine learning and has a considerable prospect in resource scheduling of Cloud computing. This paper surveys the methods of resource scheduling with focus on DRL-based scheduling approaches in Cloud computing, also reviews the application of DRL as well as discusses challenges and future directions of DRL in scheduling of Cloud computing.

description: This report describes the software components produced in SUPERCLOUD WP3, which is responsible for proposing techniques, methods, and tools for designing data management services in a cloud-of clouds environment. In this document we describe three types of components: a file storage service built on top of existing public cloud storage services (e.g., Amazon S3, Windows Azure, Google Storage), a framework for developing decentralized blockchain applications on top of state of the art Byzantine consensus algorithms, and tools and libraries for integrating advanced privacy-preserving features on cloud applications. These components comprise most of the research contributions of WP3, many of them published in top conferences and journals. The presented components can be used either together, complementing each other capabilities, or as standalone software packages integrated to applications. Besides presenting a brief description of the components, this report also describes how to obtain and use the software, in many cases pointing to open-source repositories.
Configuration and performance of the ATLAS $b$-jet triggers in Run 2

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Several improvements to the ATLAS triggers used to identify jets containing $b$-hadrons ($b$-jets) were implemented for data-taking during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider from 2016 to 2018. These changes include reconfiguring the $b$-jet trigger software to improve primary-vertex finding and allow more stable running in conditions with high pile-up, and the implementation of the functionality needed to run sophisticated taggers used by the offline reconstruction in an online environment. These improvements yielded an order of magnitude better light-flavour jet rejection for the same $b$-jet identification efficiency compared to the performance in Run 1 (2011-2012). The efficiency to identify $b$-jets in the trigger, and the conditional efficiency for $b$-jets that satisfy offline $b$-tagging requirements to pass the trigger are also measured. Correction factors are derived to calibrate the $b$-tagging efficiency in simulation to match that observed in data. The associated systematic uncertainties are substantially smaller than in previous measurements. In addition, $b$-jet triggers were operated for the first time during heavy-ion data-taking, using dedicated triggers that were developed to identify semileptonic $b$-hadron decays by selecting events with geometrically overlapping muons and jets.

description: A flux qubit can interact strongly when it is capacitively coupled to other circuit elements. This interaction can be separated in two parts, one acting on the qubit subspaces and one in which excited states mediate the interaction. The first term dominates the interaction between the flux qubit and an LC-resonator, leading to ultrastrong couplings of the form $σ^y(a+a^\dagger),$ which complement the inductive $σ^xi(a^\dagger-a)$ coupling. However, when coupling two flux qubits capacitively, all terms need to be taken into account, leading to complex non-stoquastic ultrastrong interaction of the $σ^yσ^y$, $σ^zσ^z$ and $σ^xσ^x$ type. Our theory explains all these interactions, describing them in terms of general circuit properties---coupling capacitances, qubit gaps, inductive, Josephson and capactive energies---, that apply to a wide variety of circuits and flux qubit designs.

description: Video frame interpolation (VFI) is currently a very active research topic, with applications spanning computer vision, post production and video encoding. VFI can be extremely challenging, particularly in sequences containing large motions, occlusions or dynamic textures, where existing approaches fail to offer perceptually robust interpolation performance. In this context, we present a novel deep learning based VFI method, ST-MFNet, based on a Spatio-Temporal Multi-Flow architecture. ST-MFNet employs a new multi-scale multi-flow predictor to estimate many-to-one intermediate flows, which are combined with conventional one-to-one optical flows to capture both large and complex motions. In order to enhance interpolation performance for various textures, a 3D CNN is also employed to model the content dynamics over an extended temporal window. Moreover, ST-MFNet has been trained within an ST-GAN framework, which was originally developed for texture synthesis, with the aim of further improving perceptual interpolation quality. Our approach has been comprehensively evaluated -- compared with fourteen state-of-the-art VFI algorithms -- clearly demonstrating that ST-MFNet consistently outperforms these benchmarks on varied and representative test datasets, with significant gains up to 1.09dB in PSNR for cases including large motions and dynamic textures.

description: Vascular trauma, along with injuries to the central nervous system and the heart, constitutes some of the most severe bodily injuries and is associated with increased mortality. Peripheral vascular trauma can occur following closed injuries (blunt force or compression), primarily in the lower limbs. Managing these patients is a complex and urgent issue, as the patient's life or the limb's viability may be at risk. The readiness and competence of the clinical team handling the injured individual are critical factors influencing the outcome. Diagnosis requires thorough clinical investigation and possibly imaging studies, while the gold standard for treatment is open surgical intervention. The relevant literature reveals a lack of data from large randomized clinical trials on closed vascular trauma of the lower limbs, and our knowledge primarily relies on smaller observational studies. The purpose of this review is to present the fundamental information regarding the management of vascular injuries in lower limb trauma. It highlights data on the main mechanisms of vascular trauma, analyzes the available diagnostic and therapeutic options, and finally presents a proposed algorithm for managing patients with closed vascular trauma of the lower limbs
title: Die Spanische Inquisition und die Morisken
Creators: name: Maislinger, Sarah
Year: 2008

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt das Thema „Die Spanische Inquisition und die Morisken“. Die Morisken – ehemalige Muslime – sind jene Bevölkerungsgruppe der Iberischen Halbinsel, die nach dem Abschluss der Reconquista 1492 unter spanischer Herrschaft zum Christentum konvertierten, im Geheimen jedoch großteils weiterhin dem Islam anhingen. Aufgabe dieser Arbeit war, den Umgang der Spanischen Inquisition mit den Morisken anhand vier ausgewählter Regionen, nämlich Granada, Kastilien, Valencia und Aragón, darzustellen. Dabei soll zuerst ein Abriss der Lebensweise und der Kultur der Mauren vor ihrer Konversion gegeben werden, um dann aufzuzeigen, von welchen Einschränkungen sie nach 1492 unter christlicher Herrschaft betroffen waren. Da ein Thementeil der Arbeit die Spanische Inquisition ist, wird auch auf deren Entstehung und Vorgehensweise näher eingegangen, bevor der spezifische Umgang mit den Morisken, die erst durch ihre Konversion zum Christentum unter deren Jurisdiktion fielen, erläutert wird. Den Morisken blieb – im Gegensatz zu den Juden – noch mehr als ein Jahrhundert auf der Iberischen Halbinsel, nach 1492; dieses war jedoch durch Verbote, Bestimmungen bezüglich ihrer Lebensweise und anderen Diskriminierungen bestimmt. Wie auch ihre Vertreibung, so gestaltete sich ihr Schicksal regional unterschiedlich. Während die Mauren Granadas bereits kurz nach dessen Eroberung die Wahl zwischen Taufe und Auswanderung treffen mussten, wurde den Mauren der Krone Aragóns noch ein Aufschub gewährt. Selbst nachdem letztere zu Morisken geworden waren, konnten sie sich großteils auf herrschaftlichen Schutz verlassen, die Morisken Granadas und Kastiliens hingegen hatten ein eher schweres Los zu tragen. Die Spanische Inquisition, welche im Unterschied zur mittelalterlichen, römischen Inquisition, der Kontrolle durch die spanischen Könige unterstand, ging anhand der so genannten „indicios exteriores“, zu deutsch „äußere Anzeichen“, – Verzicht auf Wein und Schweinefleisch, Beibehaltung der arabischen Sprache, rituelle Waschung, etc. – gegen die Morisken vor, wobei sie sich dabei auf das System der Denunziation stützte. Trotz etlicher Bemühungen seitens der Kirche, die Morisken auch anhand von Missionskampagnen wahrlich zum Christentum zu bekehren, blieb ihr Bemühen weitgehend erfolglos. Dieser Misserfolg und die steigende Intoleranz der spanischen Bevölkerung sowie diverse Verschwörungstheorien führten letztendlich zur Vertreibung der Morisken in den Jahren 1609 bis 1614.

Our results are illustrated for diamond, cubic, and BCC lattices, but hold for general 3D lattices with even coordination number. The corresponding classical vertex models have a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge constraint enriched with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ global symmetry. We study the interplay between these symmetries by exploiting exact wavefunction dualities and effective field theories. We find an exact gapless point which by duality is related to the Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) point of $U(1)$ quantum spin liquids. At this point, both the symmetry breaking and deconfinement order parameters exhibit long range order. The gapless point is additionally a self-dual point of a second duality that maps the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ deconfined and $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry-broken phases to one another. For the BCC lattice vertex model, we find that gapless point is proximate to an unusual intermediate phase where symmetry breaking and deconfinement coexist.

description: Video frame interpolation (VFI) is one of the fundamental research areas in video processing and there has been extensive research on novel and enhanced interpolation algorithms. The same is not true for quality assessment of the interpolated content. In this paper, we describe a subjective quality study for VFI based on a newly developed video database, BVI-VFI. BVI-VFI contains 36 reference sequences at three different frame rates and 180 distorted videos generated using five conventional and learning based VFI algorithms. Subjective opinion scores have been collected from 60 human participants, and then employed to evaluate eight popular quality metrics, including PSNR, SSIM and LPIPS which are all commonly used for assessing VFI methods. The results indicate that none of these metrics provide acceptable correlation with the perceived quality on interpolated content, with the best-performing metric, LPIPS, offering a SROCC value below 0.6. Our findings show that there is an urgent need to develop a bespoke perceptual quality metric for VFI. The BVI-VFI dataset is publicly available and can be accessed at https://danier97.github.io/BVI-VFI/.

description: Einleitung: Die jährliche Influenza-Impfung ist die wichtigste Maßnahme zur Prävention einer Influenza- Erkrankung. Bisher liegen keine bundesweiten Daten zur Impfquote und Impfmotivation bei Klinikpersonal vor. Vergangene Erhebungen an zumeist einzelnen Kliniken lieferten jedoch Hinweise darauf, dass die Impfquoten weit hinter den Erwartungen zurückbleiben. Diese Lücke wird durch OKaPII (Online-Befragung von Krankenhaus-Personal zur Influenza-Impfung), einem standardisierten, jährlichen Monitoring von Impfquoten und Impfmotivation geschlossen. Methoden: OKaPII ist eine Online-Befragung von Klinikpersonal. Erfragt wurden aktueller Impfstatus, Impfhistorie und Impfintention, außerdem die Gründe für und gegen eine Impfung. Die möglichen Gründe gegen eine Impfung orientierten sich an dem 4C-Modell für Impfakzeptanz mit den Dimensionen Vertrauen (Confidence), Bequemlichkeit (Convenience), Risikobewusstsein (Complacency) und Risiko-Nutzen-Abwägung (Calculation). Als Determinanten einer Impfentscheidung wurden weiterhin soziodemografische Angaben erfragt. Ergebnisse: Befragt wurden im Herbst 2017 insgesamt 5.822 KlinikmitarbeiterInnen aus 54 Kliniken. Von diesen waren 40,1 % in der vergangenen Saison gegen Influenza geimpft. Innerhalb der Ärzteschaft waren 61,4 % geimpft, beim Pflegepersonal 32,5 % und bei therapeutischen Berufen 34,2 %. Der häufigste genannte Grund für eine Impfung war der Selbstschutz, der Patientenschutz war dem nachgeordnet. Gründe gegen eine Inanspruchnahme der Impfung unterschieden sich nach Berufsgruppe: Die Ärzteschaft beklagte vor allem organisatorische Gründe, das Pflegepersonal und Personal aus therapeutischen Berufen dagegen fehlendes Vertrauen in Sicherheit und Effektivität der Influenza-Impfung. Diskussion: Insgesamt wird die Influenza-Impfung bei Krankenhauspersonal nicht ausreichend angenommen. Besonders große Defizite zeigen sich beim Pflegepersonal und in therapeutischen Berufen. Die Unterschiede zwischen den Berufsgruppen zeigen, dass eine berufsgruppenspezifische Kommunikation im Krankenhaus notwendig ist. Für Pflegepersonal und therapeutische Berufe wäre eine Steigerung des Vertrauens in die Sicherheit und Effektivität nötig, bei der Ärzteschaft wiederum könnten aufsuchende Impfangebote die Inanspruchnahme stärken. Da die Teilnahme an der Studie freiwillig war, ist ein Selektionsbias nicht auszuschließen, der zu einer Über- oder Unterschätzung der Impfquote geführt haben könnte. Jährliche Folgeerhebungen werden zeigen, inwieweit sich Impfquote und Impfmotivation über die Zeit verändern.

description: We point out that some questions in quantum field theory are undecidable in a precise mathematical sense. More concretely, it will be demonstrated that there is no algorithm answering whether a given 2d supersymmetric Lagrangian theory breaks supersymmetry or not. It will also be shown that there is a specific 2d supersymmetric Lagrangian theory which breaks supersymmetry if and only if the standard Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice is consistent, which can never be proved or disproved as the consequence of Gödel's second incompleteness theorem. The article includes a brief and informal introduction to the phenomenon of undecidability and its previous appearances in theoretical physics.

description: The formation of thermoacoustic shocks is studied in a fluid complex plasma. The thermoacoustic wave mode can be damped (or anti-damped) when the contribution from the thermoacoustic interaction is lower (or higher) than that due to the particle collision and/or the kinematic viscosity. In the nonlinear regime, the thermoacoustic wave, propagating with the acoustic speed, can evolve into small amplitude shocks whose dynamics are governed by the Bateman-Burgers equation with an additional nonlinear term that appears due to the particle collision and nonreciprocal interactions of charged particles providing the thermal feedback. The appearance of such nonlinearity can cause the shock fronts to be stable (or unstable) depending on the collision frequency remains below (or above) a critical value and the thermal feedback is positive. The existence of different kinds of shocks and their characteristics are analyzed analytically and numerically with the system parameters that characterize the thermal feedback, thermal diffusion, heat capacity per fluid particle, the particle collision and the fluid viscosity. A good agreement between analytical and numerical results is also noticed.

description: In many-particle diffusions, particles that move the furthest and fastest can play an outsized role in physical phenomena. A theoretical understanding of the behavior of such extreme particles is nascent. A classical model, in the spirit of Einstein's treatment of single-particle diffusion, has each particle taking independent homogeneous random walks. This, however, neglects the fact that all particles diffuse in a common and often inhomogeneous environment that can affect their motion. A more sophisticated model treats this common environment as a space-time random biasing field which influences each particle's independent motion. While the bulk (or typical particle) behavior of these two models has been found to match to high degree, recent theoretical work of Barraquand, Corwin and Le Doussal on a one-dimensional exactly solvable version of this random environment model suggests that the extreme behavior is quite different between the two models. We transform these asymptotic (in system size and time) results into physically applicable predictions. Using high precision numerical simulations we reconcile different asymptotic phases in a manner that matches numerics down to realistic system sizes, amenable to experimental confirmation. We characterize the behavior of extreme diffusion in the random environment model by the presence of a new phase with anomalous fluctuations related to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class and equation.

description: Random numbers are incredibly important in a variety of fields, and the need for their validation remains important for safety. A Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) can theoretically generate truly random numbers, however their quality still needs to be thoroughly validated. Generally, the task of validating random numbers has been delegated to different statistical tests such as the tests from the NIST Statistical Test Suite (STS), which are often slow and only perform one test at a time. Our work presents a deep learning model utilizing the Transformer architecture that 1) performs multiple NIST STS tests at once, and 2) runs much faster. This model outputs multi-label classification results on passing these statistical tests. We performed a thorough hyper-parameter optimization to converge on the best possible model and as a result, achieved a high degree of accuracy with a Macro F1-score of above 0.96. We also compared this model to a conventional deep learning method (Long Short Term Memory Recurrent Neural Networks) to quantify randomness and showed our model achieved similar performances while being much more efficient and scalable. The high performance and efficiency of this Transformer-based deep learning model showed that it can be a viable replacement for the NIST STS for validating random numbers.
