description: SmB$_6$, a so called Kondo insulator, is recently discussed as a candidate material for a strong topological insulator. We present detailed atomically resolved topographic information on the (001) surface from more than a dozen SmB$_6$ samples. Atomically flat, {\it in situ} cleaved surfaces often exhibit B- and Sm-terminated surfaces as well as reconstructed and non-reconstructed areas {\it coexisting} on different length scales. The terminations are unambiguously identified. In addition, electronic inhomogeneities are observed which likely result from the polar nature of the (001) surface and may indicate an inhomogeneous Sm valence at the surface of SmB$_6$. In addition, atomically resolved topographies on a (110) surface are discussed.

Mobile Augmented Reality as a Control Mode for Real-time Music Systems
Creators: name: Clouth, Robert
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: Mobile augmented reality has only been made possible in the last few years, owing to the increasing processing power, more responsive hardware sensors and improved cameras of modern mobile computers. As a result of this, the mobile app markets have started filling up with augmented reality applications, ranging from games to navigation assistants. Similarly, the increasing power of mobile devices combined with their multitude of interaction inputs has made them extremely suitable for music purposes – real-time synthesis, control and editing – and we are beginning to see more and more music creation apps on the market. However, as of yet there have been no attempts to mix these two ideas – augmented reality and music creation – in neither commercial products nor research. As such, an augmented reality real-time music system has been implemented inspired by the tangible table-top real-time music system, the Reactable with the aim of investigating the effects of an augmented-reality control mode on the enjoyment, intuitiveness of interaction, immersion and ease-of-use of a real-time music system. A series of subjective user tests were conducted and the results show that using an augmented reality control mode over a more traditional top-down screen-centric control mode improves the perceived enjoyment and engagement of the music experience, both of which are essential properties for such systems.

description: We have constructed a microwave detector based on the voltage switching of an underdamped Josephson junction, that is positioned at a current antinode of a λ/4 coplanar waveguide resonator. By measuring the switching current and the transmission through a waveguide capacitively coupled to the resonator at different drive frequencies and temperatures we are able to fully characterize the system and assess its detection efficiency and sensitivity. Testing the detector by applying a classical microwave field with the strength of a single photon yielded a sensitivity parameter of 0.5 in qualitative agreement with theoretical calculations.

description: The linear motor driving the target for the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment has been redesigned to improve its reliability and performance. A new coil-winding technique is described which produces better magnetic alignment and improves heat transport out of the windings. Improved field-mapping has allowed the more precise construction to be demonstrated, and an enhanced controller exploits the full features of the hardware, enabling increased acceleration and precision. The new user interface is described and analysis of performance data to monitor friction is shown to allow quality control of bearings and a measure of the ageing of targets during use.

description: Combined building indoor climate and energy simulation models only recently gained vast popularity and their application has been moving from the research community to a broader audience. Yet, in-situ empirical validation of this new generation of complex multi-purpose dynamic simulation models has lagged behind. Using a dynamic multizone building indoor climate and energy simulation model in Modelica with the IDEAS library and buoyancy driven airflow components (validated with CONTAM), this research presents model validation results and lessons learned from an in-situ empirical validation study of common indoor climate parameters (i.e., indoor air temperature (Ti), relative humidity (RH) and CO2 concentration (CO2)) for an inhabited and mechanically ventilated case study dwelling in The Netherlands. The simulation results show that the latest generation of building indoor climate and energy models in Modelica have great ability to accurately predict common indoor climate parameters in multizone inhabited dwellings (provided that user behavior info is available). Evaluation metrics for the three studied parameters show excellent calibration criteria (i.e., MAE between 0.60–0.78 °C (Ti), 3.5–4.6% (RH) and 88–181 ppm (CO2)) and the accompanying graphs corroborate the findings. In the event that no motion sensor data is available, statistically generated occupancy profiles prove good representative alternatives on the condition that basic info is available about the number of inhabitants and the inhabitants’ lifestyle. In-situ monitoring for empirical model validation proves to be a real challenge full of (un)foreseen obstacles.
Boson Stars in a Theory of Complex Scalar Field coupled to Gravity

description: We study boson stars in a theory of complex scalar field coupled to Einstein gravity with the potential: $V(|Φ|) := m^{2} |Φ|^2 +2 λ|Φ|$ (where $m^2$ and $λ$ are positive constant parameters). This could be considered either as a theory of massive complex scalar field coupled to gravity in a conical potential or as a theory in the presence of a potential which is an overlap of a parabolic and a conical potential. We study our theory with positive as well as negative values of the cosmological constant $Λ$. Boson stars are found to come in two types, having either ball-like or shell-like charge density. We have studied the properties of these solutions and have also determined their domains of existence for some specific values of the parameters of the theory. Similar solutions have also been obtained by Hartmann, Kleihaus, Kunz, and Schaffer, in a V-shaped scalar potential.

Ab initio molecular dynamics study of collective excitations in liquid H$_2$O and D$_2$O: Effect of dispersion corrections

Year: 2016

description: The collective dynamics in liquid water is an active research topic experimentally, theoretically and via simulations. Here, ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are reported in heavy and ordinary water at temperature 323.15 K, or 50$^\circ$C. The simulations in heavy water were performed both with and without dispersion corrections. We found that the dispersion correction (DFT-D3) changes the relaxation of density-density time correlation functions from a slow, typical of a supercooled state, to exponential decay behaviour of regular liquids. This implies an essential reduction of the melting point of ice in simulations with DFT-D3. Analysis of longitudinal (L) and transverse (T) current spectral functions allowed us to estimate the dispersions of acoustic and optic collective excitations and to observe the L-T mixing effect. The dispersion correction shifts the L and T optic (O) modes to lower frequencies and provides by almost thirty per cent smaller gap between the longest-wavelength LO and TO excitations, which can be a consequence of a larger effective high-frequency dielectric permittivity in simulations with dispersion corrections. Simulation in ordinary water with the dispersion correction results in frequencies of optic excitations higher than in D$_2$O, and in a long-wavelength LO-TO gap of 24 ps$^{-1}$ (127 cm$^{-1}$).

Processing an Instrumental Gesture in the Reactable as a Method of Computer Improvisation
Creators: name: Marley, William
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: Musical improvisation is one of the most widely practised forms of composition and performance. It is evident in most musical cultures and can be traced back to some of the earliest artistic and religious musical practices. It is a style that incorporates such concepts as change, adjustment, experimentation and ornamentation. Musical improvisation can demand cohesion and participation, a communicative and cooperative relationship between performers. We propose a method of capturing and reshaping an instrumental gesture on the Reactable, with the aim of establishing a computer improvisation system that will respond to the performer with variations on their contributed, physical gesture. A method of sampling this gesture, specifically the physical rotation of a tangible object, is detailed. We look to techniques used in Computer Aided Algorithmic Composition (CAAC) for a practical approach to data generation from a given sampled gesture in real-time. A stochastic procedure is designated as this algorithmic approach, one that generates new gesture data sequences from the performers original instrumental gesture. Bi-directional communication limitations within the Reactable are encountered and overcome in the construction of this system. A method of continuous play-mode activation based on a probabilistic routine is put forward. The testing of this system is described, with user responses and experiences discussed. Finally, plans for future development are outlined.
Using infra-red motion capture data to measure the bow pressing force in bowed string instruments
Creators: name: Baez, Raquel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: A method for estimation of bow pressing force is proposed. Infra-red motion capture data are processed and some descriptors are computed; tilt angle, bow transversal position, bow deformation and hair ribbon deflection. Using the descriptors, machine learning and the force data observe, a model is obtained and trained in order to estimate the bow pressing force. Several processes were followed to get the highest correlation and a lower error. The best results were obtained using a classification process of the data into “force” and “no force” existing, followed by a regression process. The models obtained were used with data of real performance but the result wasn’t good. The movement of the bow during calibration process and real performance data is different, and the calibration bow movement was done by non-musician, so it could be possible that the calibration data doesn’t cover all the possible behave of the bow as in a real performance.

description: We have obtained K-band spectra at R~5,000 and angular resolution 0.3" of a section of the Herbig-Haro 7 (HH7) bow shock, using the Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph at Gemini North. Present in the portion of the data cube corresponding to the brightest part of the bow shock are emission lines of H2 with upper state energies ranging from ~6,000 K up to the dissociation energy of H2, ~50,000 K. Because of low signal-to-noise ratios, the highest excitation lines cannot be easily seen elsewhere in the observed region. However, excitation temperatures, measured throughout much of the observed region using lines from levels as high as 25,000 K, are a strong function of upper level energy, indicating that the very highest levels are populated throughout. The level populations in the brightest region are well fit by a two-temperature model, with 98.5% of the emitting gas at T=1800 K and 1.5% at T=5200 K. The bulk of the H2 line emission in HH7, from the 1,800 K gas, has previously been well modeled by a continuous shock, but the 5,200 K component is inconsistent with standalone standard continuous shock models. We discuss various possible origins for the hot component and suggest that this component is H2 newly reformed on dust grains and then ejected from them, presumably following dissociation of some of the H2 by the shock.

description: Galaxy groups differ from clusters primarily by way of their lower masses, M~10^14 M_sun vs. M~10^15 M_sun. We discuss how mass affects the thermal state of the intracluster or the intragroup medium, specifically as to their entropy levels and radial profiles. We show that entropy is produced in both cases by the continuing inflow of intergalactic gas across the system boundary into the gravitational potential well. The inflow is highly supersonic in clusters, but weakly so in groups. The former condition implies strong accretion shocks with substantial conversion of a large inflow kinetic into thermal energy, whereas the latter condition implies less effective conversion of lower energies. These features produce a conspicuous difference in entropy deposition at the current boundary. Thereafter, adiabatic compression of the hot gas into the potential well converts such time histories into radial profiles throughout a cluster or a group. In addition, in both cases a location of the system at low z in the accelerating universe or in a poor environment will starve out the inflow and the entropy production, and produce flattening or even bending down of the outer profile. We analyze in detail the sharp evidence provided by the two groups ESO 3060170 and RXJ1159+5531 that have been recently observed in X rays out to their virial radii, and find a close and detailed match with our expectations.

description: Adaptive optics (AO) systems rely on the principle of reciprocity, or symmetry with respect to the interchange of point sources and receivers. These systems use the light received from a low power emitter on or near a target to compensate profile aberrations acquired by a laser beam during linear propagation through random media. If, however, the laser beam propagates nonlinearly, reciprocity is broken, potentially undermining AO correction. Here we examine the consequences of this breakdown. While discussed for general random and nonlinear media, we consider specific examples of Kerr-nonlinear, turbulent atmosphere.
Frustration of freezing in a two dimensional hard-core fluid due to particle shape anisotropy

description: The freezing mechanism suggested for a fluid composed of hard disks [Huerta et al., Phys. Rev. E, 2006, 74, 061106] is used here to probe the fluid-to-solid transition in a hard-dumbbell fluid composed of overlapping hard disks with a variable length between disk centers. Analyzing the trends in the shape of second maximum of the radial distribution function of the planar hard-dumbbell fluid it has been found that the type of transition could be sensitive to the length of hard-dumbbell molecules. From the ${NpT}$ Monte Carlo simulations data we show that if a hard-dumbbell length does not exceed 15% of the disk diameter, the fluid-to-solid transition scenario follows the case of a hard-disk fluid, i.e., the isotropic hard-dumbbell fluid experiences freezing. However, for a hard-dumbbell length larger than 15% of disk diameter, there is evidence that fluid-to-solid transition may change to continuous transition, i.e., such an isotropic hard-dumbbell fluid will avoid freezing.

description: Recent experimental and theoretical efforts have focused on the effect of dissipation on quantum many-body systems in their many-body localized (MBL) phase. While in the presence of dephasing noise such systems reach a unique ergodic state, their dynamics is characterized by slow relaxation manifested in non-exponential decay of self-correlations. Here we shed light on a currently much debated issue, namely the role of interactions for this relaxation dynamics. We focus on the experimentally relevant situation of the evolution from an initial charge density wave in the presence of strong dephasing noise. We find a crossover from a regime dominated by disorder to a regime dominated by interactions, with a concomitant change of time correlators from stretched exponential to compressed exponential form. The strongly interacting regime can be explained in terms of nucleation and growth dynamics of relaxing regions - reminiscent of the kinetics of crystallization in soft matter systems - and should be observable experimentally. This interaction-driven crossover suggests that the competition between interactions and noise give rise to a much richer structure of the MBL phase than anticipated so far.

We demonstrate that the excitation with polarized terahertz radiation results in a $dc$ electric photocurrent. While at normal incidence a current arises due to the photogalvanic effect in the surface states, at oblique incidence it is outweighed by the trigonal photon drag effect. The developed microscopic model and theory show that the photon drag photocurrent is due to the dynamical momentum alignment by time and space dependent radiation electric field and implies the radiation induced asymmetric scattering in the electron momentum space.

For a simplified, yet physically realistic, version of this model and the corresponding numerical scheme we prove, in addition to stability, convergence and as by-product existence of solutions. With a series of numerical experiments we illustrate the potential of these simple models and their ability to capture basic phenomenological features of ferrofluids such as the Rosensweig instability.

description: Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly changed health service delivery and daily life. There is limited research exploring health professional experiences with these changes. This research explores mental health clinicians’ experiences over the first COVID-19 lockdown in New Zealand to inform future pandemic responses and improve usual business practices. Method: Thirty-three outpatient mental health clinicians in three Aotearoa New Zealand regions took part in semi-structured interviews. Interviews were analysed thematically applying an interpretive description methodology. Results: Three key themes emerged: (1) life in lockdown, (2) collegial support, and (3) maintaining well-being. Clinicians, fearful of contracting COVID-19, struggled to adapt to working from home while maintaining their well-being, due to a lack of resources, inadequate pandemic planning, and poor communication between management and clinicians. They were uncomfortable bringing clients notionally into their own homes, and found it difficult to separate home and work spheres. Māori clinicians reported feeling displaced from their clients and community. Conclusion: Rapid changes in service delivery negatively impacted clinician well-being. This impact is not lessened by a return to normal work conditions. Additional support is required to improve clinician work conditions and ensure adequate resourcing and supervision to enable clinicians to work effectively within a pandemic context.

description: Auditory display is a relatively young field that has nonetheless been applied to many different types of research, including data exploration, musical composition and performance and for studying medical conditions such as epilepsy. Sonification, a type of auditory display which can generally be defined as the transformation of data into sound, has been applied to biofeedback systems, computer assisted collaborative work, and astronomy, to name just a few. Despite the considerable amount of recent work involving sonification and biofeedback, it is not clear what types of sonification strategies or mappings are most effective for aiding the perception of brain and body states. This master thesis aims to help answer this question by developing and testing a sonification engine capable of a range of sonification techniques, from audification-the simplest, most direct technique-to more arbitrary or musical mappings. In all, three techniques are presented: a relatively simple and direct approach, a second technique where events or features of the data modulate features of the output sound, and a third technique that could be described as more musical or arbitrary. This sonification system is built using Pure Data, an open-source graphical computing environment. Using the Emotiv EPOC Brain-computer interface headset and a complex chain of signal acquisition and processing software, we tested our sonification system in an experiment featuring 14 subjects. Each subject was brought into a quiet room and fitted with the EPOC device. They were then exposed to a total of 12 different sonification sessions, half of which were in real-time and half of which were placebos. The order of sonifications and placebos was randomized for each subject. Data was gathered using a questionnaire and the recording of physiological data taken directly from the BCI device. Both types of data were used to compare real-time techniques to placebos as well as to one another. While no significant findings were reported with regards to a our sonifications having a greater effect on subjects' state of relaxation, the data do conclude that our parameter-mapping sonification technique is the most relaxing, and thus a good candidate for further study.

description: The blazar S5 0716+714 has been monitored in its flaring state between 2015 January 19 and February 22 with Swift/XRT. During this period an exceptional flux level was observed in the X-ray range as well as in the other wavelengths, e.g. optical, near infrared and very high energy $γ$ rays. Here, we report X-ray observations of S5 0716+714 carried out during the outburst. The observed X-ray spectra, well described with broken power-law model, disentangle both synchrotron and inverse Compton components. The break energy shifts towards higher energies with increasing flux, revealing the dominance of synchrotron radiation in the X-ray spectrum observed. We also report spectrum softening with increasing flux. During the recent flare, significant temporal intranight variability is observed in the X-ray range.

description: Multi-configurational approaches yield universal wave function parameterizations that can qualitatively well describe electronic structures along reaction pathways. For quantitative results, multi-reference perturbation theory is required to capture dynamic electron correlation from the otherwise neglected virtual orbitals. Still, the overall accuracy suffers from the finite size and choice of the active orbital space and peculiarities of the perturbation theory. Fortunately, the electronic wave functions at equilibrium structures of reactants and products can often be well described by single-reference methods and hence are accessible to accurate coupled cluster calculations. Here, we calculate the heterolytic double dissociation energy of four 3d-metallocenes with the complete active space self-consistent field method and compare to highly accurate coupled cluster data. Our coupled cluster data are well within the experimental error bars. This accuracy can also be approached by complete active space calculations with an orbital selection based on information entropy measures. The entropy based active space selection is discussed in detail. We find a very subtle balance between static and dynamic electron correlation effects that emphasizes the need for algorithmic active space selection and that differs significantly from restricted active space results for identical active spaces reported in the literature.

Improving the description of instrumental sounds by using ontologies and automatic content analysis

description: Browsing sound collections in a social database is a complex task when no uniformity in the classification of the sounds and tags is applied; the relation between tag concepts and sounds can vary extremely from one user to another, as well as the types of sounds associated to them. Social databases are environments that allow users to have many different approaches and classification systems when tagging their contents, since a sound can be described and tagged according to different characteristics and with different perspectives and purposes. Browsing through such databases is often complex and inaccurate, returning results are often very distant in either their sound characteristics or the tags being used. Collaborative sound databases are a perfect environment to study the problems derived from an inaccurate or a multidimensional description. Using an ontology as the basis of the classification tags applied to sounds, may not only ease the browsing of sounds through the collection, but also help to define common definitions within the community of its users. This thesis defines a methodology to build a sound collection by using a proposed ontology of tags and the content analysis of its sounds. A corpus of 700 samples has therefore been recorded, classified according to a designed ontology, integrated in the database and analyzed. In addition, similarity measures between content based descriptions and semantic descriptions of this sounds is defined by extracting six different models, providing the possibility of automatically describing eventual new sounds to be integrated within our collection. Finally, the proposed models are evaluated within three different experiments and a preliminary survey of expert users acceptance.

description: In this work we examine thermodynamics of fluid with "molecules" represented by two fused hard spheres, decorated by the attractive square-well sites. Interactions between these sites are of short-range and cause association between the fused-sphere particles. The model can be used to study the non-spherical (or dimerized) proteins in solution. Thermodynamic quantities of the system are calculated using a modification of Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory and the results compared with new Monte Carlo simulations under isobaric-isothermal conditions. In particular, we are interested in the liquid-liquid phase separation in such systems. The model fluid serves to evaluate the effect of the shape of the molecules, changing from spherical to more elongated (two fused spheres) ones. The results indicate that the effect of the non-spherical shape is to reduce the critical density and temperature. This finding is consistent with experimental observations for the antibodies of non-spherical shape.

description: This paper presents the experiences in building and implementing a 3D avatar-based virtual world (3D-AVW) as a VLE (3D-AVLE) for the Technological University of the Philippines-Taguig (TUP-T), a higher education institution (HEI) in the Philippines. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) systems were used, such as the OpenSimulator and various 3D renderers, to create a replica of the TUP-T campus in a simulated 3D world. The 3D-AVLE runs in a single server that is connected to the learners' computers via a simply-wired local area network (LAN). The use of various networking optimization techniques was experimented on to provide the learners and the instructors alike a seamless experience and lag-less immersion within the 3D-AVLE. With the current LAN setup in TUP-T, the optimal number of concurrent users that can be accommodated without sacrificing connectivity and the quality of virtual experience was found to be at 30 users, exactly the mean class size in TUP-T. The 3D-AVLE allows for recording of the learners' experiences which provides the learners a facility to review the lessons at a later time. Classes in fundamental topics in engineering sciences were conducted using the usual teaching aid technologies such as the presentation software, and by dragging-and-dropping the presentation files to the 3D-AVLE, resulting to increased learning curve by both the instructors and the learners.

description: The electro-osmotic flow through a channel between two undulated surfaces induced by an external electric field is investigated. The gap of the channel is very small and comparable to the thickness of the electrical double layers. A lattice Boltzmann simulation is carried out on the model consisting of the Poisson equation for electrical potential, the Nernst--Planck equation for ion concentration, and the Navier--Stokes {\color{black}equations} for flows of the electrolyte solution. An analytical model that predicts the flow rate is also derived under the assumption that the channel width is very small compared with the characteristic length of the variation along the channel. The analytical results are compared with the numerical results obtained by using the lattice Boltzmann method. In the case of a constant surface charge density along the channel, the variation of the channel width reduces the electro-osmotic flow, and the flow rate is smaller than that of a straight channel. In the case of a surface charge density distributed in homogeneously, one-way flow occurs even under the restriction of a zero net surface charge along the channel.
