Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Collisions at high speed can damage robotic drivetrains. The risk for such a collision is particularly high for hybrid high-speed cobots that switch between collaborative mode and high-speed mode. An error by the human operator in collaborative mode can lead to catastrophic failure of the robot's hardware in high-speed mode. An overload clutch with integrated torque sensing and clutch decoupling detection is presented as enabling technology. Both joint torque sensing and clutch decoupling detection are realized with the same capacitive measurement hardware that consists of paired electrodes. A prototype device is experimentally validated through comparison with a reference torque sensor.
The unacknowledged presence of Catholicism in secularized Dutch society
Creators: name: De Groot, Kees
Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2023

description: This chapter addresses the impact of Catholicism in secularized Dutch society, focusing on the sociogenesis of spiritual care, while acknowledging the decay of the religious field as such, in the past decades. The central thesis is that, even where solid structures have melted, practices such as those originating in pastoral care, have been continued in a secular environment. The empirical findings are followed by suggestions about how to evaluate these findings from a theological perspective.

description: We show that macroscopic nonintegrable lattices of spins 1/2, which are often considered to be chaotic, do not exhibit the basic property of classical chaotic systems, namely, exponential sensitivity to small perturbations. We compare chaotic lattices of classical spins and nonintegrable lattices of spins 1/2 in terms of their magnetization responses to imperfect reversal of spin dynamics known as Loschmidt echo. In the classical case, magnetization exhibits exponential sensitivity to small perturbations of Loschmidt echoes, which is characterized by twice the value of the largest Lyapunov exponent of the system. In the case of spins 1/2, magnetization is only power-law sensitive to small perturbations. Our findings imply that it is impossible to define Lyapunov exponents for lattices of spins 1/2 even in the macroscopic limit. At the same time, the above absence of exponential sensitivity to small perturbations is an encouraging news for the efforts to create quantum simulators. The power-law sensitivity of spin 1/2 lattices to small perturbations is predicted to be measurable in nuclear magnetic resonance experiments.

Ecological crisis
Creators: name: Deane-Drummond, Celia
Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2023

description: 2021 marks a year in which the world is still reeling from the health and economic crises triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also a year of the 15th COP Biodiversity Summit. Both point to the intertwined relationships within a global socio-ecological crisis. My proposal in this address is that coping with crisis can be understood through reference to a term commonly used in ecology- resilience. Finding ways to develop that resilience within ecclesial communities and beyond requires more than just a rallying call to ecological conversion. Rather, I will argue, instead, that it requires paying attention to the natural world in our entangled relationships with other species. Further, by seeking to develop specific ecological virtues individuals and communities are more able to resist ecological vices and to think and act differently, boldly and with creativity. Drawing on classic theological texts, especially the work of medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas, I will discuss the importance of a recovery of theological virtues in this context, namely, faith, hope and charity. I will show how justice, courage, practical wisdom, temperance, humility and gratitude are also ethically important and practically relevant.

Data-Efficient Feasible Region Identification for Engineering Design
Creators: name: Nikova, Ioana
name: Couckuyt, Ivo
name: Dhaene, Tom
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Design Space Exploration is an important concept in engineering design in which the design space is being explored for suitable design candidates. Most of the time there are design specifications which limit the design space to a particular area of interest called the feasible region. To identify the feasible region(s), time-consuming simulations are run that characterize the design space and its constraints.
 A cheaper and faster alternative to the expensive simulations is to use surrogate models which are data-efficient machine learning models. The training samples for the model can be chosen either without using any knowledge of the underlying design problem, but this could lead to many simulations that are of no use to the engineer because they are infeasible; or by using active learning.
 Active learning is an iterative process in which the samples are chosen in an intelligent way, so that the required performance of the model is achieved with as few samples as possible. In addition, active learning can focus on simulating designs that are of interest for finding the feasible region.
 However, in the case of a design process with many specifications, i.e., a highly constrained problem, the search for the feasible region can become even harder. When there are many constraints, the feasible region can be very small and even scattered across the design space. This makes it sometimes impossible to find the feasible region(s), even with an active learning strategy. Therefore, the aim of this work is to improve current state-of-the-art methods so that they can also be used successfully for feasible region identification in highly constrained design spaces.

description: The formation of electric potential over lunar magnetized regions is essential for understanding fundamental lunar science, for understanding the lunar environment, and for planning human exploration on the Moon. A large positive electric potential was predicted and detected from single point measurements. Here, we demonstrate a remote imaging technique of electric potential mapping at the lunar surface, making use of a new concept involving hydrogen neutral atoms derived from solar wind. We apply the technique to a lunar magnetized region using an existing dataset of the neutral atom energy spectrometer SARA/CENA on Chandrayaan-1. Electrostatic potential larger than +135 V inside the Gerasimovic anomaly is confirmed. This structure is found spreading all over the magnetized region. The widely spread electric potential can influence the local plasma and dust environment near the magnetic anomaly.

description: Given a multi-valued function $Φ$ on a topological space $X$ we study the properties of its fixed fractal, which is defined as the closure of the orbit $Φ^ω(Fix(Φ))=\bigcup_{n\inω}Φ^n(Fix(Φ))$ of the set $Fix(Φ)=\{x\in X:x\inΦ(x)\}$ of fixed points of $Φ$. A special attention is paid to the duality between micro-fractals and macro-fractals, which are fixed fractals for a contracting compact-valued function $Φ$ on a complete metric space $X$ and its inverse multi-function $Φ^{-1}$. With help of algorithms (described in this paper) we generate various images of macro-fractals which are dual to some well-known micro-fractals like the fractal cross, the Sierpinski triangle, Sierpinski carpet, the Koch curve, or the fractal snowflakes. The obtained images show that macro-fractals have a large-scale fractal structure, which becomes clearly visible after a suitable zooming.

Pastoral care and dementia
Creators: name: Krause, Katharina
Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2023

description: This chapter deals with conceptions of dementia-as crisis or critical event and corresponding professional discourse and practices in contexts of pastoral and spiritual care. It contrasts these conceptions with insights from an ethnographic research project with people living with dementia that explores worship practices in care-homes. Analyzing ‘dementia-as-crisis’ and dementia-related discourse and practice in contexts of pastoral care as simultaneous or co-constructing events, it reflects upon dichotomously organized role schemata and enactments which form the foundations of the dementia as-crisis dispositive. To illustrate its workings the researcher’s own entanglement into its ‘doings’ and ‘sayings’ is critically engaged with. On this basis, options for alternative conceptions and narratives of people living with dementia in pastoral discourse and practice are considered.

Spiritual abuse in the Catholic church
Creators: name: Kießling, Klaus
Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2023

description: All forms of abuse imply an abuse of power. Yet, what turns an abuse of power into spiritual abuse? This pastoral-psychological discussion focuses on spiritual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church—not because it could not happen elsewhere, but because it is only in a self-critical way that one can deal with this issue appropriately. In this crisis context, theological approaches and insights into ongoing discourses as well as psychological contributions to dealing with the abuse of power are required. These approaches lead to the proposal of a definition of spiritual abuse – and may and must result in various consequences, for example in the area of spiritual guidance.

description: 3D concrete printing has the potential to replace shotcrete to construct tunnel linings in hard rock tunnels. The shear strength of the interface between rock and printed concrete is vital, especially at super-young ages. However, traditional methods for testing the shear strength of the interface, e.g., direct shear test, are time-consuming and result in a high variability for fast-hardening printed concrete. A fast bond shear test was newly proposed to test the shear strength of the interface. Each test can be completed in one minute, with another two minutes for preparing the next test. With the 3-minute test, the influence of the matrix composition, the age of printed matrices, and the interface roughness of rock substrate on the shear strength of the interface can be studied.
Optimal Squeezing in the Resonance Fluorescence of Single Photon Emitters

description: Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Volume 51, page 511e studied for coherently driven single photon sources, such as atoms and quantum dots. Maximal squeezing is realized, if the electronic subsystem of the emitter is in a pure quantum state. The purification is achieved by using a cavity as a second decay channel, besides the incoherent coupling to the electromagnetic vacuum. For realistic cavities this yields a purity of the electronic state of more than 99%. Aside from numerical calculations, we also derive approximate analytical results. Based on the approximations, effects are studied which originate from the environment of the emitter, including radiationless dephasing and incoherent pumping of the emitter and the cavity mode. The fragility of squeezing against decoherence is substantially reduced, so that squeezing persists even under hostile conditions. The measurement of squeezing from such light sources is also considered.

Loneliness, socio-political crisis and extreme right populism
Creators: name: Verstraeten, Johan
Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2023

description: One of the main components of the contemporary crisis is loneliness, not as subjective emotion, but as a social alienation which dehumanizes individuals in the economic, cultural, and political sphere. It is about being ignored as human beings in need to be heard, to be seen, to be cared for, to have agency and being treated with respect. Inspired by Noreena Hertz, the chapter focuses on how social loneliness is manipulated by right wing populism and the far right. The next section criticizes the pretended right wing populist adherence to Christian values and symbols, and it shows how it leads to the construct of an antagonistic ideology that scapegoats migrants and Islam. The final section concludes that Christian churches and individual Christians can contribute to humanizing the crisis context, not only by way of community building and a critical participation in the civil society, but also by taking a courageous stand against dehumanizing political ideologies and practices.

description: In the US and in Europe the influence of fundamentalist groups is raising. The example of the CNP in the US and the New Right in Europe show that these groups try to gain influence in and with faith communities by using religious language and specific markers that are of interest for conservative faith communities. The most striking finding is that these groups try to gather their people by spreading fear whereas the other faith communities want to give hope in solidarity. Theodor Adorno and Paul Tillich describe and analyze this phenomenon already in the 50s and 60s.

Multiscale Characteristics of Layer Interface in 3D Printed Cement-Based Materials

Year: 2022

description: 3D printed cement-based materials have a multi-layered structure due to extrusion layer by layer and without vibration. Interlayer zones are considered weak connections. In order to improve interface quality and accelerate the application of extrusion-based 3D printed cement-based materials, a comprehensive understanding of the formation mechanism of layer interface zone is necessary. Here, we reveal the multi-scale characteristics of phase distribution at the layer interface zone in printed materials by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy. Results show that compared to the matrix, the interface is not merely porous, but also deficient in aggregate and enriched in calcium hydroxide. In addition, the heterogeneous phase distribution dominates the interlayer bonding strength.

description: In light of our research project on the interconnection between right-wing populism and Christian thought, particularly three aspects strike as us manifestations of crisis. The provide support to the idea that (wight-wing) popuslism can be considered as both originating from people’s experience of crisis and as a driver of crisis. The first takes up the observation that comments drawing on right-wing populist narratives point to experiences of resource conflict, in light of which they judge the Church’s and its representatives’ commitment to sea rescue as failing in their actual purpose, i.e. tending to their ‘own people’s’ religious and socioeconomic needs. As a result, the Church and Church leaders are portrayed as ruthless elite—a portrayal that might be interpreted as depicting a crisis of representation. The second aspect concerns the issue that many comments displaying right-wing populist and extremist thought involve verbal aggression and hate speech. In doing so, they create a crisis of interaction. The last aspect addresses the fact that right-wing populist and extremist comments stage a crisis by invoking threat and doom scenarios, within which they assign a central role to Church leaders. Some of these scenarios draw on conspiracy narratives

description: Water distribution companies around the world struggle to meet the demands of an ever-increasing population.
 In Flanders, approximately 60 million m3 of drinking water is lost every year due to leaks in the drinking water grid. In times of water scarcity, losing so much treated water is unacceptable.

 A key approach to reduce leak losses is by combining hydraulic modeling and machine learning to localize leaks in a hybrid model-based and data-driven manner. We present our hybrid leak localization methodology, which also integrates human feedback from drinking water consumers into its predictions.

 Our methodology is evaluated on 10 leak experiments in real-time. We show that leaks can be localized down to the street-level, with each leak location prediction needing less than 2 hours of computing time. As a result, our solution enables Flanders to save approximately 24 million m3 of water per year.
Ordinary pastoral care

Year: 2023

description: Is pastoral care 'caught' in a paradigm of crisis? Time constraints on pastors create a crisis-defined type of pastoral care in many parishes; parishioners often feel that they are only eligible for pastoral care when they face a crisis. In this paper I challenge the discourse of 'crisis' in pastoral care practices and pastoral theories. The paper builds a case for 'regular' pastoral care in Christian communities and parishes beyond crises. Paradoxically, a time of global crisis, such as the COVID19 pandemic, helps us to develop a vision of pastoral care that moves beyond crisis. Arguments for this case are derived from the history of pastoral care and the 20th century developments towards a plurality of care approaches. Does the Christian community deliver a special context of care that provides a pastoral foundation for times of crisis and at the same time moves beyond the language of crisis? This paper explores some of the hidden strengths of parish pastoral care, even when crisis permeates society like never before.

description: Water/solid interfaces are relevant to a broad range of physicochemical phenomena and technological processes such as corrosion, lubrication, heterogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry. Although many fields have contributed to rapid progress in the fundamental knowledge of water at interfaces, detailed molecular-level understanding of water/solid interfaces comes mainly from studies on flat metal substrates. These studies have recently shown that a remarkably rich variety of structures form at the interface between water and even seemingly simple flat surfaces. In this Review we discuss the most exciting work in this area, in particular the emerging physical insight and general concepts about how water binds to metal surfaces. We also provide a perspective on outstanding problems, challenges and open questions.
Addressing fear as a form of diakonia

Publisher: name: International Academy of Practical Theology. Conference Series
Year: 2023

description: This paper, which is based on a qualitative research, identifies public engagement of the Academic Parish of Prague as diakonia—a specific exercise of Christian service to others. It explores some ways that the parish handled fear among the Czech population especially in connection with the European migrant crisis in 2015 and a debate on gender in 2016. By positioning the public activities of the parish under diakonia of the Church, it argues that the parish challenged emotion of fear with reasoning: it tried to cultivate a responsible reflection both within Church and society. In times of recent crises, the Academic Parish stressed truth and love to navigate people towards critical thinking, and, by doing so, to reduce their fear and sense of insecurity. The parish seemed to enter the public space to serve the poor of our times—seekers and disoriented ones. Theologically, this research emphasizes the importance of nurturing trust, both social and religious, and portrays it as a relevant response of the Church to fear in population. Pastorally, it calls for supporting people in their own spiritual practice—the most natural way of developing trust.

Managing crisis

description: The pandemic of Covid-19 aroused varied responses in India. While some people shut themselves out of intense fear, a few brave people along with some organizations and communities risked their lives to offer material and spiritual assistance to those in need. Udhar Vikas Sanstha, a development and humanitarian non-government organization of the Religious of Jesus and Mary, Pune province, mobilized their staff of different faiths to think of creative and relevant strategies to reach out to the people at the margins. Going door to door masked and taking all the necessary precautions of social distancing and sanitization they visited the families in the slums, carried out surveys, empathized with the people, offered them necessary provisions and involved them in their own upliftment through training and income-generation activities. This relates well with the prophetic response of Mary of Nazareth who rose to address the crisis at Cana. Reflecting on Mary of Nazareth and Uddhar Vikas Sanstha, this paper demonstrates how managing crises is an urgent call to take risks and initiate strategies to enable fullness of life for oneself and others through support, sensitization and solidarity.

Solid Data Vaults vs Cookies: The Effects on Users' Perceived Transparency, Control, Security and Trust

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Due to scandals such as Cambridge Analytica, people have been confronted with the dangers of how personal data is being handled online nowadays. To address this problem, sir Tim Berners Lee (known as the inventor of the world wide web) introduced a new web specification called Solid. Solid allows people to securely store their data in decentralized data Pods (Personal Online Data Stores or data vaults). Any type of data can be stored in a Pod and the user controls what data is being shared with whom. Data in a Pod is saved in interoperable data formats and thus can be used across different applications. In this way, Solid decouples personal data storage from applications.
 In this experiment, a Solid Pod is used to store users’ reading behaviour on a VRTNWS demo website. Based on the data that is stored in their personal data vaults, users are offered personalized news recommendations. We aim to measure the effects of the use of Solid data vaults on the users’ perceived transparency, control, security and trust compared to the use of cookies to process personal data.

Year: 2023

description: This paper considers the effect on the mystical body of Christ, the church, of the Church of England’s (CofE’s) “prohibition” on online Eucharists during the COVID-19 pandemic. First of all, I situate the discussion in the context of the contemporary emphasis on embodiment in sacramental theology, and in recent work on online worship by Teresa Berger and others following the emergence of Web 2.0. I argue that the online believer is bodily present at worship and that the members of a local church can be suitably gathered in a virtual space to receive the sacrament. Secondly, I consider the effect of Eucharistic loss on the mystical body of Christ, the church, through the lens of trauma. I examine the characteristics of trauma as outlined by Karen O’Donnell, focussing on the concept of rupture or wounding, and contend that the loss of the Eucharist is traumatic for that body. Thirdly, I posit that the absence of the Eucharistic entails the loss of opportunities to encounter both real presence and real absence. The mystical body of Christ, the church therefore suffers complex layers of trauma. I suggest further reflection on the issue of online Eucharists by the CofE from the perspectives of “presence and absence” and of “encounter” in order to facilitate “faithful connections”.

description: Quantifying diversity is of central importance for the study of structure, function and evolution of microbial communities. The estimation of microbial diversity has received renewed attention with the advent of large-scale metagenomic studies. Here, we consider what the diversity observed in a sample tells us about the diversity of the community being sampled. First, we argue that one cannot reliably estimate the absolute and relative number of microbial species present in a community without making unsupported assumptions about species abundance distributions. The reason for this is that sample data do not contain information about the number of rare species in the tail of species abundance distributions. We illustrate the difficulty in comparing species richness estimates by applying Chao's estimator of species richness to a set of in silico communities: they are ranked incorrectly in the presence of large numbers of rare species. Next, we extend our analysis to a general family of diversity metrics ("Hill diversities"), and construct lower and upper estimates of diversity values consistent with the sample data. The theory generalizes Chao's estimator, which we retrieve as the lower estimate of species richness. We show that Shannon and Simpson diversity can be robustly estimated for the in silico communities. We analyze nine metagenomic data sets from a wide range of environments, and show that our findings are relevant for empirically-sampled communities. Hence, we recommend the use of Shannon and Simpson diversity rather than species richness in efforts to quantify and compare microbial diversity.

Neither cross nor catalyst

description: The interlocking crises of a pandemic, political unrest, and racial injustice invite renewed attention to the role of institutions in times of crisis. Crisis is an experience that “brings one up short” (Osmer 2008, p. 21). Recent reflections expand this analysis, demonstrating the relevance of ongoing inquiry at this intersection. To this end, this essay undertakes an interdisciplinary investigation to explore three metaphors for the role of institutions in times of crisis. Part one engages Mary Douglas’s and Hugh Heclo’s work on institutions to consider two dominant metaphors for the role of institutions in times of crisis: cross and catalyst. Part two introduces original empirical research completed during the COVID-19 crisis to consider how existing frameworks can inform the study of religious institutions during times of crisis. This research identifies a third metaphor that complements the antinomy Douglas and Heclo represent: institutions provide a container for the uncertainty crisis introduces. While existing metaphors for the role of institutions in crises express the capacity for institutions to constrain and catalyze individuals’ response to crisis, the third metaphor, institutions as container, clarifies how institutions direct the collective experience and constructive responses. Finally, the conclusion identifies three implications for research in practical theology in the wake of crisis. As other communities of faith respond to the uncertainty crisis brings, the practical wisdom that emerges from institutions supports an evolving pastoral and ecclesial imagination for a more connected and collaborative common life.

description: By means of vibrotactile and force feedback, i.e., haptics, users are given the sensation of touching and manipulating virtual objects in interactive Extended Reality (XR) environments. However, research towards the influence of this feedback on the users’ perception and performance in interactive XR is currently still scarce. In this work, we present an experimental evaluation of the effects of haptic feedback in interactive immersive applications. By means of a Projected Augmented Reality (PAR) setup, users were asked to interact with a projected environment by completing three different tasks based on finger-tracking and in the presence of visual latency. Evaluations were performed both subjectively (questionnaire) and objectively (i.e. duration and accuracy). We found out that while haptic feedback does not enhance the performance for simple tasks, it substantially improves it for more complex ones. This effect is more evident in presence of network degradation, such as latency. However, the subjective questionnaires showed
 a general skepticism about the potential of incorporating haptic information into immersive applications. As such, we believe that this paper provides an important contribution toward the understanding and assessment of the influence of haptic technology in interactive immersive systems.
Looking for spirituality in the context of a pandemic in the province of Quebec, Canada

description: When the international pandemic of Covid-19 stroke in the Province of Quebec (Canada), two columnists rose a debate about the necessity of spirituality in such a context. The question is addressed from a short observation of the political and existential experience of a very secular society facing an unprecedented crisis. Spirituality then needs to be redefined and epistemologies must be reconsidered. While collectivities (or authorities) cannot impose spiritual meaning, individuals alone are insufficient to reach the spiritual. A “third term” needs to be considered transcending the opacity of reality through the ordinary of daily life.

description: We classify all Hamiltonians with rank 1 symmetry, acting on a periodic three-state spin chain, and solvable through (generalisation of) the coordinate Bethe ansatz (CBA). We obtain in this way four multi-parametric extensions of the known 19-vertex Hamiltonians (such as Zamolodchikov-Fateev, Izergin-Korepin, Bariev Hamiltonians). Apart from the 19-vertex Hamiltonians, there exists 17-vertex and 14-vertex Hamiltonians that cannot be viewed as subcases of the 19-vertex ones. In the case of 17-vertex Hamiltonian, we get a generalization of the genus 5 special branch found by Martins, plus three new ones. We get also two 14-vertex Hamiltonians. We solve all these Hamiltonians using CBA, and provide their spectrum, eigenfunctions and Bethe equations. A special attention is made to provide the specifications of our multi-parametric Hamiltonians that give back known Hamiltonians.

description: We present optical, X-ray and gamma-ray observations of GRB 111209A, at a redshift of z = 0.677. We show that this event was active in its prompt phase for about 25000 seconds, making it the longest burst ever observed. This rare event could have been detected up to z ~ 1.4. Compared to other long GRBs, GRB 111209A is a clear outlier in the energy-fluence and duration plane. The high-energy prompt emission shows no sign of a strong black body component, as expected if the event was caused by a tidal disruption event or a supernova shock breakout. Given the extreme longevity of this event, and a lack of a supernova signature, we propose that GRB 111209A is a relatively rare stellar collapse of a low metallicity blue super giant star. Only this progenitor can supply mass to the central engine over a duration of thousands of seconds. Hence, GRB 111209A could have more in common with population III stellar explosions, rather than normal long gamma ray bursts.

Analysing Electrophoretic Deposition Using Transient Current Measurements

description: Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a widely used technique for coating surfaces with colloidal particles [1]. When using apolar solvents, one or more surfactants are required as charging agents. These surfactant molecules do not only adsorb to the particles, assisting in particle charging, but also
 aggregate into inverse micelles of which a small fraction also become charged. Since these charged inverse micelles (CIMs) are also subject to electrophoresis, they play a key role in the overall dynamics of the EPD process. Transient current analysis (TCA) is a useful technique for
 characterizing the dynamics of both solid particles and CIMs during EPD. In this technique a dispersion is placed between parallel electrodes, a voltage sequence is applied, and the resulting currents are measured and analyzed.
 In this work we present TCA results for a model system for EPD, based on Al2O3 nanoparticles (Ø=140 nm) plus surfactant additives in a nonpolar solvent. Measurements are performed with and without particles. The currents are analyzed and compared to simulations based on the Poisson-
 Nernst-Planck equations [1], generation-recombination of CIMs [2] and Mott-Gurney-like effects at the interfaces [3]. The surfactants used in our dispersions are a cationic Cr(III) salt and a viscosity modifier based on polyalkylmethacrylate (PAMA). From the TCA and simulation the mobilities and concentrations of the particles and CIMs are obtained. Electric-field screening due to space-charge effects and long-term currents due to net CIM generation are investigated. And from currents in which the voltage is suddenly reversed information is obtained on the adsorption and desorption
 behavior of charges at the interfaces. Our work provides a good understanding of the physics of EPD in the chosen model system. The TCA method can be further used to analyze other and possibly more complex EPD systems and may be useful for real-time control of the process.
