description: The use of lower airspace for air taxi and cargo applications opens up exciting prospects for futuristic Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). However, ensuring the safety and security of these UAS within densely populated urban areas presents significant challenges. Most modern aircraft systems, whether unmanned or otherwise, rely on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) as a primary sensor for navigation. From satellite navigations point of view, the dense urban environment compromises positioning accuracy due to signal interference, multipath effects, etc. Furthermore, civilian GNSS receivers are susceptible to spoofing attacks since they lack encryption capabilities. Therefore, in this thesis, we focus on examining the safety and cybersecurity assurance of UAS in dense urban environments, from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. To facilitate the verification and validation of the UAS, the first part of the thesis focuses on the development of a realistic GNSS sensor emulation using a Gazebo plugin. This plugin is designed to replicate the complex behavior of the GNSS sensor in urban settings, such as multipath reflections, signal blockages, etc. By leveraging the 3D models of the urban environments and the ray-tracing algorithm, the plugin predicts the spatial and temporal patterns of GNSS signals in densely populated urban environments. The efficacy of the plugin is demonstrated for various scenarios including routing, path planning, and UAS cybersecurity. Subsequently, a robust state estimation algorithm for dynamical systems whose states can be represented by Lie Groups (e.g., rigid body motion) is presented. Lie groups provide powerful tools to analyze the complex behavior of non-linear dynamical systems by leveraging their geometrical properties. The algorithm is designed for time-varying uncertainties in both the state dynamics and the measurements using the log-linear property of the Lie groups. When unknown disturbances are present (such as GNSS spoofing, and multipath effects), the log-linearization of the non-linear estimation error dynamics results in a non-linear evolution of the linear error dynamics. The sufficient conditions under which this non-linear evolution of estimation error is bounded are derived, and Lyapunov stability theory is employed to design a robust filter in the presence of an unknown-but-bounded disturbance.

description: The impact of the intrinsic time-dependent fluctuations in the electrical resistance at the graphene-metal interface or the contact noise, on the performance of graphene field effect transistors, can be as adverse as the contact resistance itself, but remains largely unexplored. Here we have investigated the contact noise in graphene field effect transistors of varying device geometry and contact configuration, with carrier mobility ranging from 5,000 to 80,000$~$cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. Our phenomenological model for contact noise due to current crowding in purely two dimensional conductors, confirms that the contacts dominate the measured resistance noise in all graphene field effect transistors in the two-probe or invasive four probe configurations, and surprisingly, also in nearly noninvasive four probe (Hall bar) configuration in the high mobility devices. The microscopic origin of contact noise is directly linked to the fluctuating electrostatic environment of the metal-channel interface, which could be generic to two dimensional material-based electronic devices.

MARINE POLLUTION AND ECHINODERMS: A BIOMARKER STUDY INTEGRATING DIFFERENT LEVELS OF BIOLOGICAL ORGANISATION

description: Merged with duplicate record 10026.1/1310 on 10.04.2017 by CS (TIS)
description: There is growing concern that the invertebrate lest organisms commonly employed in the field of aquatic ecotoxicology may not be sufficient to accurately screen for the possible deleterious effects of contaminants discharged into the marine environment. The use of echinoderms has been proposed to redress this problem, due to their ecological importance and their evolutionary closeness to the chordates. But to date, there is a paucity of data in the published literature which has utilised the adult stages of echinoderms in laboratory based toxicology studies. The present studies aimed to fill this lack of information. A suite of biomarkers which operated at different levels of biological organisation (sub-cellular, cellular and individual level) were identified for use with different echinoderm species (the common sea star, Asterias rubens, the purple sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus and the common brittle star, Ophiothrix fragilis). These biomarkers used were micronucleus induction, the Comet assay, the modified Comet assay, phagocytosis, neutral red retention, clearance rate and righting time. Concurrent exposures showed that echinoderms were more sensitive to model contaminants than a commonly used sentinel ecotoxicological test species, namely the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis. These contaminants included: the reference toxicants hydrogen peroxide (Chapter 2) and methyl methanesulphonate (Chapter 3); a pharmaceutical, cyclophosphamide (Chapter 3); a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. benzo(a)pyrene (Chapter 4) and a heavy metal, cadmium (Chapter 5). The results for all the exposures showed that the biomarkers which operated at the lower levels of biological organisation (i.e. at the subcellular level - namely the micronucleus and Comet assays) were the most sensitive at detecting the deleterious effects of the contaminants. But, interestingly, some strong correlations were found between these sub-cellular consequences and those that operated at higher levels of biological organisation (for example, between righting time and both micronucleus induction and Comet assay in Asterias rubens following cyclophosphamide exposure). Theses correlations suggest that biomarkers which operate at the whole organism level (namely righting time and clearance rate) may serve as rapid and accurate indicators of possible damage induced by xenobiotics in echinoderms and bivalve molluscs.

description: Coccus viridis:
they are oval-shaped insects, flattened, with length of 2 to 3 mm, of green coloring and that suck the plants sap. They are found fixed on new branches and leaves, most notably on the main vein. They present greater attack intensity in new plants, in nurseries and until the first year of planting, when their presence is easily verified for being generally associated with ants. The young forms have legs and antennae that, over time, are atrophied, once they live in almost complete immobility. Although they reproduce parthenogenetically, sexual intercourse may also occur, both types of reproduction may happen simultaneously or separately. The young forms, of fragile structure, only move on the plants after the hardening of their skin. After its fixation, the insect perforates the leaves with its oral apparatus and begins the suction of the sap. Its appearance is more frequent in the months of November to January, in times of rain and shady terrains. The lay is composed of agglomerated eggs, of reduced size. The oviposition period is 50 days, on average. A female lays around two to three eggs a day and 150 during her lifetime. Pests are important pest in seedlings nursery.

description: We present a study of four different formation scenarios that may be able to explain the origin of the recently announced planet (`Proxima b') orbiting Proxima Centauri. The aim is to examine how the formation scenarios differ in their predictions for the multiplicity of the Proxima system, the water/volatile content of Proxima b and its orbital eccentricity, so that these can be tested by future observations. A scenario of in situ formation via giant impacts from a locally enhanced disc of planetary embryos/planetesimals predicts that Proxima b will be in a multiplanet system with a measurably finite eccentricity. Assuming that the local solid enhancement needed to form a Proxima b analogue arises because of the inwards drift of solids in the form of small planetesimals/boulders, this scenario also results in Proxima b analogues being only moderately endowed with water/volatiles. A scenario in which multiple embryos form, migrate and mutually collide within a gas disc results in Proxima b being a member of a multiple system, possibly displaying mean motion resonances, but where the constituent members are Ocean planets due to accretion occurring mainly outside of the snowline. A scenario in which a single accreting embryo forms outside the snowline, and migrates inwards while accreting planetesimals/pebbles results in Proxima b being an isolated Ocean planet on a circular orbit. A scenario in which Proxima b formed via pebble accretion interior to the snowline produces a dry planet on a circular orbit. Future observations that characterise the physical and orbital properties of Proxima b, and any additional planets in the system, will provide valuable insights into the formation history of this neighbouring planetary system.

description: We present approximate algorithms for performing smoothing in a class of high-dimensional state-space models via sequential Monte Carlo methods ("particle filters"). In high dimensions, a prohibitively large number of Monte Carlo samples ("particles") -- growing exponentially in the dimension of the state space -- is usually required to obtain a useful smoother. Using blocking strategies as in Rebeschini and Van Handel (2015) (and earlier pioneering work on blocking), we exploit the spatial ergodicity properties of the model to circumvent this curse of dimensionality. We thus obtain approximate smoothers that can be computed recursively in time and in parallel in space. First, we show that the bias of our blocked smoother is bounded uniformly in the time horizon and in the model dimension. We then approximate the blocked smoother with particles and derive the asymptotic variance of idealised versions of our blocked particle smoother to show that variance is no longer adversely effected by the dimension of the model. Finally, we employ our method to successfully perform maximum-likelihood estimation via stochastic gradient-ascent and stochastic expectation--maximisation algorithms in a 100-dimensional state-space model.

description: We present a theoretical study of synchronization dynamics in incoherently pumped exciton-polariton condensates in coupled polariton traps. Our analysis is based on a coupled-mode theory for the generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which employs an expansion in non-Hermitian, pump-dependent modes appropriate for the pumped geometry. We find that polariton-polariton and reservoir-polariton interactions play competing roles and lead to qualitatively different synchronized phases of the coupled polariton modes as pumping power is increased. Crucially, these interactions can also act against each other to hinder synchronization. We map out a phase diagram and discuss the general characteristics of these phases using a generalized Adler equation.

description: The record of reversals of the geomagnetic field has played an integral role in the development of plate tectonic theory. Statistical analyses of the reversal record are aimed at detailing patterns and linking those patterns to core-mantle processes. The geomagnetic polarity timescale is a dynamic record and new paleomagnetic and geochronologic data provide additional detail. In this paper, we examine the periodicity revealed in the reversal record back to 375 million years ago (Ma) using Fourier analysis. Four significant peaks were found in the reversal power spectra within the 16-40-million-year range (Myr). Plotting the function constructed from the sum of the frequencies of the proximal peaks yield a transient 26 Myr periodicity, suggesting chaotic motion with a periodic attractor. The possible 16 Myr periodicity, a previously recognized result, may be correlated with pulsation of mantle plumes and perhaps; more tentatively, with core-mantle dynamics originating near the large low shear velocity layers in the Pacific and Africa. Planetary magnetic fields shield against charged particles which can give rise to radiation at the surface and ionize the atmosphere, which is a loss mechanism particularly relevant to M stars. Understanding the origin and development of planetary magnetic fields can shed light on the habitable zone.

description: Coupled cluster and symmetry projected Hartree-Fock are two central paradigms in electronic structure theory. However, they are very different. Single reference coupled cluster is highly successful for treating weakly correlated systems, but fails under strong correlation unless one sacrifices good quantum numbers and works with broken-symmetry wave functions, which is unphysical for finite systems. Symmetry projection is effective for the treatment of strong correlation at the mean-field level through multireference non-orthogonal configuration interaction wavefunctions, but unlike coupled cluster, it is neither size extensive nor ideal for treating dynamic correlation. We here examine different scenarios for merging these two dissimilar theories. We carry out this exercise over the integrable Lipkin model Hamiltonian, which despite its simplicity, encompasses non-trivial physics for degenerate systems and can be solved via diagonalization for a very large number of particles. We show how symmetry projection and coupled cluster doubles individually fail over different correlation limits, whereas models that merge these two theories are highly successful over the entire phase diagram. Despite the simplicity of the Lipkin Hamiltonian, the lessons learned in this work will be useful for building an ab initio symmetry projected coupled cluster theory that we expect to be accurate over the weakly and strongly correlated limits, as well as the recoupling regime.

description: A study of differential cross sections and azimuthal observables for semi-hard processes at LHC energies, including BFKL resummation effects, is presented. Particular attention has been paid to the behaviour of the azimuthal correlation momenta, when a couple of forward/backward jets or identified hadrons is produced in the final state with a large rapidity separation. Three- and four- jet production has been also considered, the main focus lying on the definition of new, generalized azimuthal observables, whose dependence on the transverse momenta and the rapidities of the central jet(s) can be considered as a distinct signal of the onset of BFKL dynamics.

description: In this work we investigate the semi-classical backreaction for a quantised conformal scalar field and classical vacuum energy. In contrast to the usual approximation of a closed system, our analysis includes an environmental sector such that a quantum-to-classical transition can take place. We show that when the system decoheres into a mixed state with particle number as the classical observable de Sitter space is destabilized, which is observable as a gradually decreasing Hubble rate. In particular we show that at late times this mechanism can drive the curvature of the Universe to zero and has an interpretation as the decay of the vacuum energy demonstrating that quantum effects can be relevant for the fate of the Universe.

description: As multiple crises deepen existing inequalities in urban societies within and between neighborhoods, strategically integrating nature-based solutions into the living environment can help reduce negative impacts and improve public health, social cohesion, and well-being. Compared to public green such as parks, semi-public residential greenery is rarely studied, is regularly overlooked by planners, and often receives step-motherly treatment from architects and housing companies. We approximated the area of residential greenery of modernist multi-story apartment complexes in Berlin, Germany. We surveyed residents’ suggestions for improving their living environments in vulnerable neighborhoods, report on co-creation experiences, and provide a practical guideline for optimizing health-promoting residential green spaces. The semi-public open space on the doorstep of two-thirds of Berlin’s population is highly fragmented and, in total, has a similar area as the public green spaces and a great potential for qualitative development. Just as the suitability of different nature-based solutions to be integrated into the residential greenery depends on building types, resident demands differ between neighborhoods. Residents called for more involvement in design, implementation, and maintenance, frequently proposing that biodiversity-friendly measures be included. As there is no universal solution even for neighborhoods sharing similar structural and socioeconomic parameters, we propose, and have tested, an optimization loop for health-promoting residential greening that involves exploring residents’ needs and co-creating local solutions for urban regeneration processes that can be initiated by different actors using bottom-up and/or top-down approaches in order to unlock this potential for healthy, livable and biodiversity friendly cities.

description: Recent developments in the techniques of ultrafast pump-probe photoemission have made possible the search for collective modes in strongly correlated systems out of equilibrium. Including inelastic scattering processes and a retarded interaction, we simulate time- and angle- resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) to study the amplitude mode of a d-wave superconductor, a collective mode excited through the nonlinear light-matter coupling to the pump pulse. We find that the amplitude mode oscillations of the d-wave order parameter occur in phase at a single frequency that is twice the quasi-steady-state maximum gap size after pumping. We comment on the necessary conditions for detecting the amplitude mode in trARPES experiments.

description: The cover and first page of music of The Call to Arms: a descriptive fantasia, by Ezra Read. Ezra Read was born in Willenhall, Staffordshire in 1862. He was apprenticed to a blacksmith but after finishing his training he opted to try his hand at making a living as a pianist. He travelled with orchestras and over the next 25 years his compositions were published in both London and United States. Read's compositions were intended for the amateur pianist for entertainment for family and friends. For inspiration he often used current events and such is the case for the descriptive fantasy ?The Call to Arms?. This is a piano composition with a number of continuous movements with names such as ?War Declared? and "Recruiting".(from A brief life of Ezra Read n.d. 4 Nov. 2011)

description: Stellen Sie sich einmal vor: Sie sitzen an einem Auskunftsplatz, an dem gleichzeitig 600 andere Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare Dienst tun, die Antworten auf noch so seltsame und spezielle Fragen geben können, wenn Sie selbst einmal nicht mehr weiterwissen... Das Prinzip der Mailinglisten eignet sich hervorragend für die Anwendung im Reference-Bereich - die anglo-amerikanische Stumpers-List macht es seit Jahren vor. Im Sommer letzten Jahres fanden die in der INETBIB verschiedenen "Off-Topic" betitelten Auskunftsanfragen endlich auch im deutschsprachigen Raum eine eigene Heimat - und sehr sehr schnell einen großen Abonnentenkreis. Nach einem halben Jahr ist es nun Zeit, eine erste Bilanz für die Mailingliste "Recherche und Auskunft in Bibliothekarischen Einrichtungen" zu ziehen. Welche Fragen werden gestellt und werden auch alle beantwortet? Wie hoch ist der Aufwand, die Liste aktiv zu verfolgen? Wie war das mit "?!>*"? Und sollten die "Rabeneltern" sich anders verhalten als diese Bezeichnung ihnen dies nahelegt?

description: Numerical modelling currently cannot accurately reproduce the onshore-offshore transport asymmetry observed on gravel beaches. The role of the impulsive pressure response generated by plunging waves has been hypothesised to aid mobilisation of sediment, and thus may contribute to transport asymmetry. This process is not currently included in models. Laboratory tests were conducted across a range of wave conditions to investigate the role of plunging wave-breaker impacts on the mobilisation of sediment of gravel beaches. Pressure records were obtained at positions close to the plunging impact locations, to monitor the localised pressures that lead to sediment mobilisation. The correction of the recorded pressure to the bed surface, for further analysis, was achieved through a two stage approach. Adoption of a new technique for separating the pressure records into two components, each determined by different processes is presented. Each component is then corrected to the bed surface with the application of a pragmatic prediction of the experienced attenuation. Data covering a wide range of Iribarren values was assessed, and the impact pressure was parameterised against the wave-breaker type. This procedure identified a potential peak in the impact pressure-Iribarren space in the plunging breaker region, consistent with the previous hypothesis. Comparison of cross-shore profile records provides further limited evidence that morphological prediction fails to reproduce specific characteristics associated with profiles generated under plunging breaker action. Finally, a brief discussion is provided on how the role of the additional pressure generated under plunging impacts can be incorporated into future numerical models.

Lower current large deviations for zero-range processes on a ring

description: We study lower large deviations for the current of totally asymmetric zero-range processes on a ring with concave current-density relation. We use an approach by Jensen and Varadhan which has previously been applied to exclusion processes, to realize current fluctuations by travelling wave density profiles corresponding to non-entropic weak solutions of the hyperbolic scaling limit of the process. We further establish a dynamic transition, where large deviations of the current below a certain value are no longer typically attained by non-entropic weak solutions, but by condensed profiles, where a non-zero fraction of all the particles accumulates on a single fixed lattice site. This leads to a general characterization of the rate function, which is illustrated by providing detailed results for four generic examples of jump rates, including constant rates, decreasing rates, unbounded sublinear rates and asymptotically linear rates. Our results on the dynamic transition are supported by numerical simulations using a cloning algorithm.

description: The 6.8$σ$ anomaly in excited 8Be nuclear decays via internal pair creation is fit well by a new particle interpretation. In a previous analysis, we showed that a 17 MeV protophobic gauge boson provides a particle physics explanation of the anomaly consistent with all existing constraints. Here we begin with a review of the physics of internal pair creation in 8Be decays and the characteristics of the observed anomaly. To develop its particle interpretation, we provide an effective operator analysis for excited 8Be decays to particles with a variety of spins and parities and show that these considerations exclude simple models with scalar particles. We discuss the required couplings for a gauge boson to give the observed signal, highlighting the significant dependence on the precise mass of the boson and isospin mixing and breaking effects. We present anomaly-free extensions of the Standard Model that contain protophobic gauge bosons with the desired couplings to explain the 8Be anomaly. In the first model, the new force carrier is a U(1)B gauge boson that kinetically mixes with the photon; in the second model, it is a U(1)(B-L) gauge boson with a similar kinetic mixing. In both cases, the models predict relatively large charged lepton couplings ~ 0.001 that can resolve the discrepancy in the muon anomalous magnetic moment and are amenable to many experimental probes. The models also contain vectorlike leptons at the weak scale that may be accessible to near future LHC searches.

Chatten und Recherchieren - Internet-Benutzerplätze in Öffentlichen Bibliotheken
Creators: name: Braun, Michael

Subjects: subject: 020

description: Wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken bieten ihren Studenten kostenfreie Internet- Benutzungsplätze für Recherchen von Katalog- und Fachinformationen an. Mit der CD-ROM-Recherche vergleichbar, werden im Internet im allgemeinen Inhalte für das Studium recherchiert. Auch wenn im Einzelfall Chat- und Mailfunktionen verfügbar gehalten und von den Studenten genutzt werden, wird doch die qualifizierte Informationsrecherche im Mittelpunkt der Internetnutzung gesehen. Öffentliche Bibliotheken bieten i.d.R. kostenpflichtige Benutzungsplätze, um allen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern Zugang zu den Informations- und Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten des Internet zu eröffnen. Im weitesten Sinn begleiten Öffentliche Bibliotheken mit dem Angebot Einzelne auf dem Weg in die Informationsgesellschaft. Schulungsprogramme sind durchgängig integraler Bestandteil dieser Benutzungsplätze, beabsichtigt ist eine Vermittlung von Medienkompetenz. Gemeinsam ist den Internet-Benutzerplätzen, daß sich bei ihnen alle Arten von Internet-Anwendungen und sehr unterschiedliche Kenntnisstände artikulieren. Die auf qualifizierte Information gerichtete Recherche steht neben den Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten (mail und chat) und dem "Erlebnisraum Internet" (audio- und video). Die konkreten Angebotsformen unterscheiden sich allerdings erheblich. Sie gehen u.a. aus der Rolle und den Aufgaben der Bibliothek im Stadtteil (bzw. in der Stadt), der Zielgruppe und den Erwartungen der Kunden und schon gemachten Erfahrungen hervor. Der vorliegende Beitrag möchte diesen Differenzierungen anhand von drei praktischen Beispielen - stellvertretend für vergleichbare Angebote im Bundesgebiet - nachgehen. In knapp gehaltenen "Zahlen und Fakten" werden die Internet-Benutzungsplätze im Informationszentrum der Stiftung Hamburger Öffentliche Bücherhallen der "PC-Insel" (PC-Arbeitsplätze mit Internetnutzung) der Stadtteilbibliothek Hamburg-Harburg, dem "EXIT-Internet-Cafe" (ein Projekt von Jugendlichen für Jugendliche) der Stadtteilbibliothek Hamburg-Mümmelmannsberg vorgestellt. Anforderungsprofile in bezug auf Management (Konzeption und Problemlösung), Kundenbetreuung (Know-how für Internetanwendung und Recherche) und Vermarktung verdeutlichen die Unterschiedlichkeit der Angebote.

description: The $N$-jettiness subtraction has proven to be an efficient method to perform differential QCD next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations in the last few years. One important ingredient of this method is the NNLO soft function. We calculate this soft function for one massive colored particle production at hadron colliders. We select the color octet and color triplet cases to present the final results. We also discuss its application in NLO and NNLO differential calculations.
