description: Modern industry requires modern solutions for monitoring the automatic production of goods. Smart monitoring of the functionality of the mechanical parts of technology systems or machines is mandatory for a fully automatic production process. Although Deep Learning has been advancing, allowing for real-time object detection and other tasks, little has been investigated about the effectiveness of specially designed Convolutional Neural Networks for defect detection and industrial object recognition. In the particular study, we employed six publically available industrial-related datasets containing defect materials and industrial tools or engine parts, aiming to develop a specialized model for pattern recognition. Motivated by the recent success of the Virtual Geometry Group (VGG) network, we propose a modified version of it, called Multipath VGG19, which allows for more local and global feature extraction, while the extra features are fused via concatenation. The experiments verified the effectiveness of MVGG19 over the traditional VGG19. Specifically, top classification performance was achieved in five of the six image datasets, while the average classification improvement was 6.95%.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία αντλεί από τον ευρύτερο προβληματισμό που έχει αναπτυχθεί στη σύγχρονη εκπαίδευση, υπό την επίδραση κυρίως της επιστήμης της κειμενογλωσσολογίας και των αναγνωστικών θεωριών της Αισθητικής της Πρόσληψης και της Αναγνωστικής Ανταπόκρισης. Οι θεωρίες αυτές χρησιμοποιούνται για τη σύνδεση των γλωσσικών μαθημάτων, και ιδιαίτερα της Λογοτεχνίας, με την καλλιέργεια του κριτικού γραμματισμού των μαθητών. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό η έρευνα που διεξήχθη αποπειράται να διερευνήσει την αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύ των εκπαιδευτικών και των παιδιών, κατά τη διάρκεια τεσσάρων κειμενικών γεγονότων που λαμβάνουν χώρα σε διαφορετικές τάξεις του Δημοτικού Σχολείου με αφορμή τη συζήτηση λογοτεχνικών κειμένων. Τα πορίσματα της έρευνας υπογραμμίζουν τη σπουδαιότητα τόσο της μορφής και του περιεχομένου των κειμένων όσο και των στρατηγικών υποστήριξης που χρησιμοποιούν οι εκπαιδευτικοί για α)τη συν-οικοδόμηση των νοημάτων που αναπτύσσονται στην τάξη β)την έκφραση της προσωπικής ανταπόκρισης των παιδιών στα κείμενα γ)τη θεώρηση του κειμένου ως λογοτεχνικής κατασκευής.
description: The present dissertation draws from the wider discussion held in the field of education, whithin the framework of Sociolinguistics and the theories of Reception and Reading Response. The above theories are used in the language subjects and especially in the teaching of literature aiming at students' critical literacy. Under this perspective, the research we conducted tries to explore the interaction between teachers and children during but text events that take place in different Primary classes on the occasion of discussing literary texts. The research results underline the importance of both the form and the content of the texts as well as of the scaffolding strategies used by teachers for : a)the co-construction of meanings developed in the classrooms, b)the expression of children's personal responses to texts and c)to children's perception of literature as a construction and a meta-language.

description: In this work, we present our theoretical results for the equation of state and the phonon dispersions of MnAs, as well as the Mn concentration dependence of both the lattice parameter and the phonon frequencies of the cubic GaMnAs alloys. The results are in good agreement with the experimental results whenever this comparison is possible. Based on the obtained results, the lattice constants and the phonon frequencies of the alloys do not obey the Vegard rule.

description: The goal of the Financial Independence policy conference held on September 16 and 17, 2024 in Washington, D.C. was to bring together experts from the asset and income fields to share theory, evidence, and best practices as part of an effort to work toward development of a new social contract capable of ending poverty. It was divided into four sessions. Sessions one and two focused on Children’s Savings Accounts and Baby Bonds as promising asset building policy proposals for solving the wealth inequality aspect of poverty. The third session focused on Unconditional Cash Transfers, the Child Tax Credit, and Child Allowances as promising income policy proposals for solving the income inequality aspect of poverty. Because poverty has both an income and asset component, the final session discussed why a core component of a new social contract meant to end poverty must include the combining of these strategies. This policy brief is part of the Children’s Savings Account session.
description: Keystone Scholars is Pennsylvania’s statewide Children’s Savings Account (CSA) program, administered by the Pennsylvania Treasury Department. It provides a $100 deposit for post-high school education savings to every Pennsylvania child at birth. Keystone Scholars sets the expectation at birth for every child in Pennsylvania to pursue some form of post-high school education, including community college, technical training and apprenticeships, and it encourages families to start saving on their own early in the child’s life.

description: Emotions are an inseparable part of human nature affecting our behavior in response to the outside world. Although most empirical studies have been dominated by two theoretical models including discrete categories of emotion and dichotomous dimensions, results from neuroscience approaches suggest a multi-processes mechanism underpinning emotional experience with a large overlap across different emotions. While these findings are consistent with the influential theories of emotion in psychology that emphasize a role for multiple component processes to generate emotion episodes, few studies have systematically investigated the relationship between discrete emotions and a full componential view. This paper applies a componential framework with a data-driven approach to characterize emotional experiences evoked during movie watching. The results suggest that differences between various emotions can be captured by a few (at least 6) latent dimensions, each defined by features associated with component processes, including appraisal, expression, physiology, motivation, and feeling. In addition, the link between discrete emotions and component model is explored and results show that a componential model with a limited number of descriptors is still able to predict the level of experienced discrete emotion(s) to a satisfactory level. Finally, as appraisals may vary according to individual dispositions and biases, we also study the relationship between personality traits and emotions in our computational framework and show that the role of personality on discrete emotion differences can be better justified using the component model.

description: The invention of typography is the milestone indicating the gradual transformation of literary production from an oral collective procedure to individual practice, which is inextricably linked with writing. The present dissertation examines the emergence and historical evolution of modern manuscripts (i.e. evidence of literary production that attest to the genetic procedure of a text) as well as the critical work based on them. After a short presentation of genetically orientated studies in Germany and Italy, our research is focused on the critical analysis of French “genetic criticism”, by outlining the conditions of its formation, presenting its methodology, describing its goals and ambitions and by summarizing the main points of criticism. The case studies at the end are given to illustrate the theoretical approach.

description: The generation of various versions of meanings deriving from the same internationally transmitted T.V. news material is defined by the actual language use. Language intervenes with every stage of the process of convention of an information item into a news item. Language functions as a mediator between news dissemination and the selected concepts or interpretation of events by different audiences. The above is defined by the rationale and the objectives of the medium (Mass Media) for the formulation of different sociocultural realities.

description: We analyze the origin of the three dimensional (3D) magnetism observed in nonhydrated Na-rich Na$_x$CoO$_2$ within an itinerant spin picture using a 3D Hubbard model. The origin is identified as the 3D nesting between the inner and outer portions of the Fermi surface, which arise due to the local minimum structure of the $a_{1g}$ band at the $Γ$-A line. The calculated spin wave dispersion strikingly resembles the neutron scattering result. We argue that this 3D magnetism and the spin fluctuations responsible for superconductivity in the hydrated systems share essentially the same origin.

description: The radio source at the center of the galaxy cluster Abell 2626, also known as the Kite, stands out for its unique morphology composed of four, symmetric arcs. Previous studies have probed the properties of this source at different frequencies and its interplay with the surrounding thermal plasma, but the puzzle of its origin is still unsolved. We use new LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) observation from the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey at 144 MHz to investigate the origin of the Kite.} We present a detailed analysis of the new radio data which we combined with archival radio and X-ray observations. We have produced a new, resolved spectral index map of the source with a resolution of 7$''$ and we studied the spatial correlation of radio and X-ray emission to investigate the interplay between thermal and non-thermal plasma. The new LOFAR data have changed our view of the Kite by discovering two steep-spectrum ($α

Eye-tracking analysis of user behaviour and performance in web search on large and small screens

Subjects: subject: Eye tracking

description: In recent years, searching the web on mobile devices has become enormously popular. Because mobile devices have relatively small screens and show fewer search results, search behaviour with mobile devices may be different from that with desktops or laptops. Therefore, considering these differences may suggest better, more efficient, designs for mobile search engines. In this experiment, we use eye-tracking to explore user behaviour and performance. We analyse web searches with two task types on two differently sized screens: one for a desktop and the other for a mobile device. In addition, we examine the relationships between search performance and several search behaviours to allow further investigation of the differences engendered by the screens. We found that users have more difficulty extracting information from search results pages on the smaller screens, although they exhibit less eye movement as a result of an infrequent use of the scroll function. However, in terms of search performance, our findings suggest that there is no significant difference between the two screens in time spent on search results pages and the accuracy of finding answers. As a consequence, this suggests that mobile devices do not need to display as many results as desktop screens, and we should consider alternative ways to present search results for small screens by considering the effect of decreased eye movement and use of the scroll function. We suggest several possible ideas for the presentation design of search results pages on small devices.

description: Existing measures of bipartite nonclassical correlation that is typically characterized by nonvanishing nonlocalizable information under the zero-way CLOCC protocol are expensive in computational cost. We define and evaluate economical measures on the basis of a new class of maps, eigenvalue-preserving-but-not-completely-eigenvalue-preserving (EnCE) maps. The class is in analogy to the class of positive-but-not-completely-positive (PnCP) maps that have been commonly used in the entanglement theories. Linear and nonlinear EnCE maps are investigated. We also prove subadditivity of the measures in a form of logarithmic fidelity.

description: Eclipsing binaries (EBs) are unique benchmarks for stellar evolution. On the one hand, detached EBs hosting at least one star with detectable solar-like oscillations constitute ideal test objects to calibrate asteroseismic measurements. On the other hand, the oscillations and surface activity of stars that belong to EBs offer unique information about the evolution of binary systems. This paper builds upon previous works dedicated to red giant stars (RG) in EBs -- 20 known systems so far -- discovered by the NASA Kepler mission. Here we report the discovery of 16 RGs in EBs also from the Kepler data. This new sample includes three SB2-EBs with oscillations and six close systems where the RG display a clear surface activity and complete oscillation suppression. Based on dedicated high-resolution spectroscopic observations (Apache Point Observatory, Observatoire de Haute Provence), we focus on three main aspects. From the extended sample of 14 SB2-EBs, we first confirm that the simple application of the asteroseismic scaling relations to RGs overestimates masses and radii of RGs, by about 15% and 5%. This bias can be reduced by employing either new asteroseismic reference values for RGs, or model-based corrections of the asteroseismic parameters. Secondly, we confirm that close binarity leads to a high level of photometric modulation (up to 10%), and a suppression of solar-like oscillations. In particular, we show that it reduces the lifetime of radial modes by a factor of up to 10. Thirdly, we use our 16 new systems to complement previous observational studies that aimed at constraining tidal dissipation in interacting binaries. In particular, we identify systems with circular orbits despite relatively young ages, which suggests exploring complementary tidal dissipation mechanisms in the future. Finally, we report the measurements of mass, radius, and age of three M-dwarf companion stars.

description: The translation of medical diagnosis to clinical coding has wide range of applications in billing, aetiology analysis, and auditing. Currently, coding is a manual effort while the automation of such task is not straight forward. Among the challenges are the messy and noisy clinical records, case complexities, along with the huge ICD10 code space. Previous work mainly relied on discharge notes for prediction and was applied to a very limited data scale. We propose an ensemble model incorporating multiple clinical data sources for accurate code predictions. We further propose an assessment mechanism to provide confidence rates in predicted outcomes. Extensive experiments were performed on two new real-world clinical datasets (inpatient & outpatient) with unaltered case-mix distributions from Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. We obtain multi-label classification accuracies of 0.73 and 0.58 for average precision, 0.56 and 0.35 for F1-scores and 0.71 and 0.4 accuracy in predicting principal diagnosis for inpatient and outpatient datasets respectively.

description: Sixty five Planck Galactic cold clumps (PGCCs) from the first quadrant (IQuad) and thirty nine of PGCCs from the Anti-Center direction region (ACent) were observed in $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO and C$^{18}$O J=1-0 lines using the PMO 13.7-m telescope. All the targets were detected with all the three lines, except for 12 IQuad and 8 ACent PGCCs without C$^{18}$O detection. Seventy six and 49 velocity components were obtained in IQuad and ACent respectively. One-hundred and forty-six cores were extracted from 76 IQuad clumps and 100 cores from 49 ACent clumps. The average T$_{\mathrm{ex}}$ of IQuad cores and ACent cores are 12.4 K and 12.1 K, respectively. The average line width of $^{13}$CO of IQuad cores and ACent cores are 1.55 km s$^{-1}$ and 1.77 km s$^{-1}$, respectively. Among the detected cores, 24 in IQuad and 13 in ACent have asymmetric line profiles. The small blue excesses, $\sim$0.03 in IQuad and 0.01 in ACent, indicate that the star formation is not active in these PGCC cores. Power-law fittings of core mass function to the high mass end give indexes of -0.57 in IQuad and -1.02 in ACent which are flatter than the slope of initial mass function given by \citeauthor{1955ApJ...121..161S}. The large turnover masses with value of 28 M$_{\odot}$ for IQuad cores and 77 M$_{\odot}$ for ACent cores suggest low star formation efficiencies in PGCCs. The correlation between virial mass and gas mass indicates that most of PGCC cores in both regions are not likely pressure-confined.

description: Young children, students, and adults may have alternative ideas about the motion of the Sun and stars as we observe them in the sky. However, a good understanding of this apparent motion is essential as a starting point to study more advanced astronomical concepts, especially when these include astronomical observations. In this paper, we describe the development and validation of the apparent motion of Sun and stars (AMoSS) test, which can measure to what extent students have insight into the apparent motion of the Sun and stars. We propose a framework that allows one to compare students' understanding of the specific aspects of these apparent motions in relation to the time of the day, time of the year, and the observer's latitude. For each of these aspects, we designed test items for both the Sun and the symmetric apparent motion aspect of the stars. The reliability and validity of the test are established by analyzing answers of both secondary school and university students and by presenting the questions to a panel of experts. We report on the design and validation process and present the final version of the test.
Protecting aboriginal cultural heritage in Australia: looking for solutions in the Canadian experience
Creators: name: McCausland, Sally Peata
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In recent decades Australian aboriginal paintings have become increasingly sought after as "high art" and as part of the nationalist iconography. The paintings often incorporate the communal designs of the artists' communities or clan groups, which are subject to aboriginal laws administered by traditional custodians. The popularity of the paintings has fostered increased respect for aboriginal cultures and has provided a source of income for many aboriginal communities. However, a corollary of their popularity is their unauthorised reproduction by tourist industry operators onto t-shirts and other mass produced objects, causing serious violations of aboriginal laws. Aboriginal sanctions are not enforceable in Australian settler courts. Aboriginal artists and their communities have therefore turned to copyright law for relief in what are now know as the "aboriginal copyright cases". However, it has become increasingly apparent that copyright law neither recognises the communal, ancient and spiritual aspects of the paintings, nor adequately compensates the serious spiritual or religious damage caused by the unauthorised reproductions. Australian government bodies and commentators have therefore turned to exploration of reform proposals. Reform proposals to date range from amendments to copyright law to the recognition of aboriginal rights in communal designs as an extension of the Mabo doctrine of native title. However, some commentators have argued that the issues raised by the aboriginal copyright cases are intricately linked with other debates concerning appropriation of aboriginal cultures and, more widely, issues of decolonisation. Taking this wider approach, the thesis turns to the Canadian experience of decolonisation, and in particular developments in the areas of aboriginal rights and self-government. The thesis examines the potential advantages and disadvantages of using aboriginal rights litigation and self-government agreements to address the issues raised by the aboriginal copyright cases. It concludes that the Canadian experience in these two areas is instructive and worthy of further consideration as reform proposals are considered. Drawing on this experience, the thesis argues for reforms which acknowledge aboriginal peoples' right to cultural self-determination within a state constitutional framework.

description: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has been successfully used to solve different challenges, e.g. complex board and computer games, recently. However, solving real-world robotics tasks with DRL seems to be a more difficult challenge. The desired approach would be to train the agent in a simulator and transfer it to the real world. Still, models trained in a simulator tend to perform poorly in real-world environments due to the differences. In this paper, we present a DRL-based algorithm that is capable of performing autonomous robot control using Deep Q-Networks (DQN). In our approach, the agent is trained in a simulated environment and it is able to navigate both in a simulated and real-world environment. The method is evaluated in the Duckietown environment, where the agent has to follow the lane based on a monocular camera input. The trained agent is able to run on limited hardware resources and its performance is comparable to state-of-the-art approaches.

subject: Murray River Watershed (N.S.W.-S. Aust.) Management

description: The primary contributions of this thesis are the economic studies of proposed water use reductions and climate change, and the development of an integrated hydro-economic model for the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia. This water model not only simulates the land and water use in the Basin, but also optimises these uses for certain targets such as environmental flows. More importantly, this model can be applied to evaluate policy options for the Basin, such as water buybacks, and provide estimates of the possible impacts of climate change. The thesis consists of three main essays focusing on issues in water modelling and management in the Basin. The first essay describes the development of a water model. This model is applied to estimate the impacts of water use reductions in the second essay; and climate change in the third essay. Other issues related to the Basin's water management, such as a review of existing water modelling, the background of the Basin, water trading, possible policy implementations and future research are also discussed. The first essay (Chapter 4) describes the construction of the Integrated Irrigated Water Model (IIA WM) including the structure of llA WM and the data sources. Using the latest hydrological data and revised catchment boundaries, llA WM can simulate and optimise land and water use in the Basin. To address the criticism that existing models have failed to consider water trading barriers, the physical constraints on water trading have been incorporated in llA WM. The model can also evaluate various water policies and estimate the impacts of physical condition changes. The second essay (Chapter 5) evaluates the impacts of proposed water use reductions by the Australian government. To balance the use of water between irrigated industries and environmental purposes, the Australian government draft plan released October 2010 proposed to reduce the volume of used water in the Basin from 3,000 to 4,000 GL/year. Simulations from IIA WM indicate that the impacts from proposed water use reductions will be modest, although there may be substantial impacts in particular locations. The third essay (Chapter 6) investigates the impacts of climate change in the Basin. A full range of climate change scenarios from modest to severe have been applied using IIA WM. This thesis finds that with water trading, profit reductions are substantially smaller than the water use reductions.
Coupling of pion condensate, chiral condensate and Polyakov loop in an extended NJL model

description: The Nambu Jona-Lasinio model with a Polyakov loop is extended to finite isospin chemical potential case, which is characterized by simultaneous coupling of pion condensate, chiral condensate and Polyakov loop. The pion condensate, chiral condensate and the Polyakov loop as functions of temperature and isospin chemical potential are investigated by minimizing the thermodynamic potential of the system. The resulting $(T,μ_I)$ phase diagram is studied with emphasis on the critical point and Polyakov loop dynamics. The tricritical point for the pion superfluidity phase transition is confirmed and the phase transition for isospin symmetry restoration in high isospin chemical potential region perfectly coincides with the crossover phase transition for Polyakov loop. These results are in agreement with the Lattice QCD data.

description: In the framework of vector measures and the combinatorial approach to stochastic multiple integral introduced by Rota and Wallstrom [Ann. Probab. 25 (1997) 1257--1283], we present an Itô multiple integral and a Stratonovich multiple integral with respect to a Lévy process with finite moments up to a convenient order. In such a framework, the Stratonovich multiple integral is an integral with respect to a product random measure whereas the Itô multiple integral corresponds to integrate with respect to a random measure that gives zero mass to the diagonal sets. A general Hu--Meyer formula that gives the relationship between both integrals is proved. As particular cases, the classical Hu--Meyer formulas for the Brownian motion and for the Poisson process are deduced. Furthermore, a pathwise interpretation for the multiple integrals with respect to a subordinator is given.

Evolution of the velocity distribution of atoms under the action of the bichromatic force

description: We study numerically the evolution of the velocity distribution of atoms under the action of the bichromatic force. The comparison of the time dependencies of the distribution width and the average acceleration of atoms reveal the correlation of these quantities. We show that the estimation of the momentum diffusion coefficient on the basis of the analogy between the interaction of atoms with the counter-propagating bichromatic waves and the interaction of atoms with the counter-propagating sequences of the $π$-pulses roughly corresponds to the results of numerical calculations. To separate the influence of the momentum diffusion on the evolution of atomic momentum distribution from the influence of the time-dependent Doppler shift, we study the motion of a ``heavy'' atom, for which the velocity change during the interaction of an atom with the field can be neglected. Provided that the parameters of the atom-field interaction are optimal, we show that the momentum diffusion coefficient is proportional to the intensity of the laser radiation. We used the Monte Carlo wave-function method for the numerical simulation of the atomic motion.

description: A random Lie group action on a compact manifold generates a discrete time Markov process. The main object of this paper is the evaluation of associated Birkhoff sums in a regime of weak, but sufficiently effective coupling of the randomness. This effectiveness is expressed in terms of random Lie algebra elements and replaces the transience or Furstenberg's irreducibility hypothesis in related problems. The Birkhoff sum of any given smooth function then turns out to be equal to its integral w.r.t. a unique smooth measure on the manifold up to errors of the order of the coupling constant. Applications to the theory of products of random matrices and a model of a disordered quantum wire are presented.

description: In the last twenty years, China has invested immense resources in growing their renewable energy from infancy to one of the world’s most comprehensive programs. Since 2011, China has consistently been the top investor in renewable energy. In 2017, China represented 43% of the world’s investment into renewable energy or roughly $88.5 billion USD. These investments led to China becoming the country with the largest wind and solar capacity since 2012 and 2015 respectively. However, while China leads the world in terms of generation capacity for wind and solar, the country still primarily relies on coal as their energy source. In 2018, just under sixty percent of China’s energy came from coal while wind energy represented only 2.5% of the energy market. While China’s reliance on coal is multifaceted, curtailment of renewable energy exacerbates the problem as China is not utilizing the sustainable infrastructure in which it has invested.
