title: Wiener Studieneignungs-Persönlichkeitsinventar (WSP)
Creators: name: Maurer, Martina
Year: 2009

description: Die Güte eines Persönlichkeitsfragebogens ist zu einem Großteil durch die ihm zugrunde liegenden Items bestimmt. Zur Test- und Fragebogenkonstruktion gibt es eine Vielzahl von Literatur und Studien, jedoch kaum Instrumente, welche die zentralen Regeln kurz und prägnant zusammenfassen. Ein solches Instrument wird in dieser Arbeit präsentiert. Es wurde ein ‚Regelkatalog zur Fragebogen-Itemkonstruktion’ entwickelt und Instrumente zur Qualitätssicherung während des Itemerstellungsprozesses vorgestellt. Anwendung und praktische Überprüfung findet der Regelkatalog in der Konstruktion eines Itempools für das Wiener Studieneignungs-Persönlichkeitsinventar (WSP).Der WSP dient der Erfassung studienrelevanter Eigenschaften und verfolgt einen förderdiagnostischen Ansatz zur Verbesserung der Studienberatung. Grundlage für die Itemerstellung ist die vorangegangene Anforderungsanalyse zur allgemeinen Studierfähigkeit nach der Methode der Critical Incident Technique (Flanagan, 1954). Aufgrund der engen Verknüpfung der Daten aus der Anforderungsanalyse mit den Inhalten der Items konnte ein Itempool entwickelt werden, der optimal auf die gewünschte Zielgruppe zugeschnitten ist. Der Itempool besteht aus 351 Items zu sieben Skalen und zweiundzwanzig Subskalen. In den Prozess der Itemkonstruktion wurden zusätzliche Instrumente zur Qualitätssicherung integriert. Damit liefert diese Arbeit sowohl praktische Regeln als auch Handlungsanleitungen zur Konstruktion von Itempools.
description: The quality of a personality questionnaire is to a great extend determined by the items it consists of. There exists a multitude of literature and studies about the construction of psychological tests and questionnaires, however, barely any instrument which summarizes the central rules in a short and concise manner. Such an instrument is presented in this paper. A ‘catalogue of rules for item construction’ has been developed and various instruments to secure the quality during the item construction process are discussed. The catalogue was applied and reviewed by developing an itempool for the ‘Vienna study-aptitude personality inventory (WSP). The personality inventory measures study relevant personality traits and pursues an approach of furtherance to improve the conselling of study beginners. The basis for the itempool construction are the critical incident data (Flanagan, 1954) from the preceding requirement analyses on general study-relevant requirements. Due to the close connection of this data with the contents of the items it was possible to develop an itempool specifically designed for the target group. The completed itempool consists of 351 items in seven scales and 22 subscales. Additional instruments of quality assurance have been integrated into the process of item construction. Hence, this paper offers practical rules for item construction as well as suggestions for its application.

description: Fruit ripeness estimation models have for decades depended on spectral index features or colour-based features, such as mean, standard deviation, skewness, colour moments, and/or histograms for learning traits of fruit ripeness. Recently, few studies have explored the use of deep learning techniques to extract features from images of fruits with visible ripeness cues. However, the blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) fruit does not show obvious and reliable visible traits of ripeness when mature and therefore poses great difficulty to fruit pickers. The mature blackberry, to the human eye, is black before, during, and post-ripening. To address this engineering application challenge, this paper proposes a novel multi-input convolutional neural network (CNN) ensemble classifier for detecting subtle traits of ripeness in blackberry fruits. The multi-input CNN was created from a pre-trained visual geometry group 16-layer deep convolutional network (VGG16) model trained on the ImageNet dataset. The fully connected layers were optimized for learning traits of ripeness of mature blackberry fruits. The resulting model served as the base for building homogeneous ensemble learners that were ensemble using the stack generalization ensemble (SGE) framework. The input to the network is images acquired with a stereo sensor using visible and near-infrared (VIS-NIR) spectral filters at wavelengths of 700 nm and 770 nm. Through experiments, the proposed model achieved 95.1% accuracy on unseen sets and 90.2% accuracy with in-field conditions. Further experiments reveal that machine sensory is highly and positively correlated to human sensory over blackberry fruit skin texture.

description: Speaker embeddings carry valuable emotion-related information, which makes them a promising resource for enhancing speech emotion recognition (SER), especially with limited labeled data. Traditionally, it has been assumed that emotion information is indirectly embedded within speaker embeddings, leading to their under-utilization. Our study reveals a direct and useful link between emotion and state-of-the-art speaker embeddings in the form of intra-speaker clusters. By conducting a thorough clustering analysis, we demonstrate that emotion information can be readily extracted from speaker embeddings. In order to leverage this information, we introduce a novel contrastive pretraining approach applied to emotion-unlabeled data for speech emotion recognition. The proposed approach involves the sampling of positive and the negative examples based on the intra-speaker clusters of speaker embeddings. The proposed strategy, which leverages extensive emotion-unlabeled data, leads to a significant improvement in SER performance, whether employed as a standalone pretraining task or integrated into a multi-task pretraining setting.

description: Il Covid in Italia ha intensificato il dibattito sulla cura come caratteristica del genere femminile. Il pensiero ecofemminista ha rappresentato un aspetto rilevante della cura oltre la sfera privata e familiare; l’articolo parte dal pensiero ecofemminista europeo e americano per arrivare a quello italiano, a partire dagli anni Sessanta. Il Covid ha però evidenziato anche il valore politico della cura, che va oltre il dato biologico del genere femminile e riguarda piuttosto l’elaborazione di una nuova etica.

Covid in Italy has intensified the debate on care as a characteristic of the female gender. Ecofeminist thought has represented a relevant aspect of care beyond the private and family sphere; the article starts from European and American ecofeminist thought to arrive at Italian thought, starting from the 1960s. However, Covid has also highlighted the political value of care, which goes beyond the biological data of the female gender and rather concerns the development of a new ethic.

description: We develop a quasiparticle approach to capture the dynamics of open quantum systems coupled to bosonic thermal baths of arbitrary complexity based on the Hierarchical Equations of Motion (HEOM). This is done by generalizing the HEOM dynamics and mapping it into that of the system in interaction with a few bosonic fictitious quasiparticles that we call bexcitons. Bexcitons arise from a decomposition of the bath correlation function into discrete features. Specifically, bexciton creation and annihilation couple the auxiliary density matrices in the HEOM. The approach provides a systematic strategy to construct exact quantum master equations that include the system-bath coupling to all orders even for non-Markovian environments. Specifically, by introducing different metrics and representations for the bexcitons it is possible to straightforwardly generate different variants of the HEOM, demonstrating that all these variants share a common underlying quasiparticle picture. Bexcitonic properties, while unphysical, offer a coarse-grained view of the correlated system-bath dynamics and its numerical convergence. For instance, we use it to analyze the instability of the HEOM when the bath is composed of underdamped oscillators and show that it leads to the creation of highly excited bexcitons. The bexcitonic picture can also be used to develop more efficient approaches to propagate the HEOM. As an example, we use the particle-like nature of the bexcitons to introduce mode-combination of bexcitons that uses the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree to efficiently propagate the HEOM dynamics.

description: As adolescents are our future leaders, the present study examined the personality and social support antecedents to servant and narcissistic leader behaviours, as a way to better understand the development of successful future leaders. The results indicate agreeable and conscientious adolescent leaders are more likely to exhibit servant leader behaviours, while neurotic adolescent leaders are more likely to exhibit narcissistic leader behaviours. Overall, social support is generally instrumental in increasing servant leader behaviours and reducing narcissistic leader behaviours across different personality dimensions; however, it can increase narcissistic leader behaviours in neurotic adolescent leaders.

description: Achieving optimal solubility of active substances in polymeric carriers is of fundamental importance for a number of industrial applications, including targeted drug delivery within the growing field of nanomedicine. However, its experimental optimization using a trial-and-error approach is cumbersome and time-consuming. Here, an approach based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and the Flory-Huggins theory is proposed for rapid prediction of thermodynamic compatibility between active species and copolymers comprising hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments. In contrast to similar methods, our approach offers high computational efficiency by employing MD simulations that avoid explicit consideration of the actual copolymer chains. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated for compatibility predictions between pyrene and nile red as model dyes as well as indomethacin as model drug and copolymers containing blocks of poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(lactic acid) in different ratios. The results of the simulations are directly verified by comparison with the observed encapsulation efficiency of nanoparticles prepared by nanoprecipitation.

description: Urbanization is rapidly occurring worldwide and can increase hydrological flows into urban streams and alter forest structure and soil properties. Stream restoration projects are ongoing in Fairfax County, Virginia in order to reconnect the channel to the floodplain and increase nutrient removal via microbially mediated processes. Ecological assessment of urban forests is also ongoing to understand the ecosystem services that urban forests provide. Using Illumina sequencing and qPCR, the bacterial and fungal communities were analyzed between stream riparian zones and reference sites, and between different forest qualities. Fungal communities differed significantly after stream restoration and between forest quality types. qPCR was also used to quantify denitrifying genes between restoration types. Post restoration sites had higher abundances of nirS, while reference sites were higher in nirK. The high quality forest sites were most colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and were highest in ectomycorrhizal fungal sequences.

description: Complex crystal structures are composed of multiple local environments, and how this type of order emerges spontaneously during crystal growth has yet to be fully understood. We study crystal growth across various structures and along different crystallization pathways, using self-assembly simulations of identical particles that interact via multi-well isotropic pair potentials. We apply an unsupervised machine learning method to features from bond-orientational order metrics to identify different local motifs present during a given structure's crystallization process. In this manner, we distinguish different crystallographic sites in highly complex structures. Tailoring this newly developed order parameter to structures of varying complexity and coordination number, we study the emergence of local order along a multi-step crystal growth pathway -- from a low-density fluid to a high-density, supercooled amorphous liquid droplet and to a bulk crystal. We find a consistent under-coordination of the liquid relative to the average coordination number in the bulk crystal. We use our order parameter to analyze the geometrically frustrated growth of a Frank--Kasper phase and discover how structural defects compete with the formation of crystallographic sites that are higher-coordinated than the liquid environments. The here-presented method for classifying order on a particle-by-particle level have broad applicability to future studies of structural self-assembly and crystal growth, and they can aid in the design of building blocks and for targeting pathways of formation of novel soft-matter structures.

Automotive solar hydrogen fuelling stations: Concept design, performance testing and evaluation
Creators: name: Alazemi, Jasem M R S Alazemi
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Hydrogen is expected to play an important role as an energy carrier in the transport sector in future sustainable energy strategies to meet the twin challenges of avoiding catastrophic climate change and depletion of low-cost petroleum resources. Provided the hydrogen is generated using renewable energy sources, its use in fuel cell vehicles can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute positively to achieving global energy sustainability and security, Automotive companies have now developed a range of commercial zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. However, it is also essential to have a network of hydrogen fuelling stations to support the operation of hydrogen-powered vehicles, with these stations obtaining their hydrogen from zero-emission energy sources such as as solar and wind power.

The aim of this thesis is thus to study theoretically and experimentally the optimal designs for zero-emission hydrogen fuelling stations for generating, storing and supplying fuel to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The current status of hydrogen fuelling stations around the world is first reviewed, covering numbers by type of station, geographic location, scale, type of electrolyser, form of hydrogen storage and current plans for extending hydrogen fuelling infrastructure. It was found that there were more than 224 hydrogen stations in 28 countries in 2013, managed and designed by universities, research centres, industry shareholders, governments or non-governmental organisations. Experimental data on the operation of a small-scale experimental solar-hydrogen fuelling station at RMIT’s Bundoora East campus are reported. The experimental data on the performance of the PV array, PEM electyrolyser, batteries and inverter were then compared with a simulation of this system using the HOMER micro grid power simulation software, to test the validity of the simulation.

 The validated HOMER model of a solar-hydrogen fuelling station was then applied to designing a medium-scale station to serve a fleet of ten fuel cell electric vehicles operating in Melbourne and a Middle East location. The options of a stand-alone solar-hydrogen station and one with grid back-up are both investigated. The optimal component sizes for PV array, electrolyser, and hydrogen storage tanks are found for all the options, and the associated levelised costs of hydrogen estimated. These levelised costs are then compared to the equivalent price of gasoline, taking into account the relative energy contents and energy efficiencies of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. Measures to enhance the economic competitiveness of the hydrogen-fuelled vehicle system, with the focus on solar-hydrogen fuelling stations in the future, are discussed, and corresponding recommendations made.

description: Solid solutions of SiO2 and B2O3 in Li2O 2SiO2 are synthesized and characterized for the first time. Their structure and crystallization mechanisms are investigated employing a combination of simulations at the density functional theory level and experiments on the crystallization of SiO2 and B2O3 doped lithium disilicate glasses. The remarkable agreement of calculated and experimentally determined cell parameters reveals the preferential, kinetically controlled incorporation of [SiO4] and [BO4] at the Li+ lattice sites of the Li2O 2SiO2 crystal structure. While the addition of SiO2 increases the glass viscosity resulting in lower crystal growth velocities, glasses containing B2O3 show a reduction of both viscosities and crystal growth velocities. These observations could be rationalized by a change of the chemical composition of the glass matrix surrounding the precipitated crystal phase during the course of crystallization, which leads to a deceleration of the attachment of building units required for further crystal growth at the liquid-crystal interface.

description: Traditionally, numerical algorithms are seen as isolated pieces of code confined to an {\em in silico} existence. However, this perspective is not appropriate for many modern computational approaches in control, learning, or optimization, wherein {\em in vivo} algorithms interact with their environment. Examples of such {\em open algorithms} include various real-time optimization-based control strategies, reinforcement learning, decision-making architectures, online optimization, and many more. Further, even {\em closed} algorithms in learning or optimization are increasingly abstracted in block diagrams with interacting dynamic modules and pipelines. In this opinion paper, we state our vision on a to-be-cultivated {\em systems theory of algorithms} and argue in favor of viewing algorithms as open dynamical systems interacting with other algorithms, physical systems, humans, or databases. Remarkably, the manifold tools developed under the umbrella of systems theory are well suited for addressing a range of challenges in the algorithmic domain. We survey various instances where the principles of algorithmic systems theory are being developed and outline pertinent modeling, analysis, and design challenges.

A semi-analytical thermal model for craters with application to the crater-induced YORP effect

description: Context. The YORP effect is the thermal torque generated by radiation from the surface of an asteroid. The effect is sensitive to surface topology, including small-scale roughness, boulders, and craters.
 Aims: The aim of this paper is to develop a computationally efficient semi-analytical model for the crater-induced YORP (CYORP) effect that can be used to investigate the functional dependence of this effect.
 Methods. This study obtains the temperature field in a crater over a rotational period in the form of a Fourier series, accounting for the effects of self-sheltering, self-radiation, and self-scattering.
 Results. We obtain the temperature field of a crater, accounting for the thermal inertia, crater shape, and crater location. We then find that the CYORP effect is negligible when the depth-to-diameter ratio is smaller than 0.05. In this case, it is reasonable to assume a convex shape for YORP calculations. Varying the thermal conductivity yields a consistent value of approximately 0.01 for the spin component of the CYORP coefficient, while the obliquity component is inversely related to thermal inertia, declining from 0.004 in basalt to 0.001 in metal. For a z-axis symmetric shape, the CYORP spin component vanishes, while the obliquity component persists. Our model confirms that the total YORP torque is damped by a few tens of percent by uniformly distributed small-scale surface roughness. Furthermore, for the first time, we calculate the change in the YORP torque at each impact on the surface of an asteroid explicitly and compute the resulting stochastic spin evolution more precisely.
 Conclusions. The semi-analytical method that we developed, which benefits from fast computation, offers new perspectives for future investigations of the YORP modeling of real asteroids and for the complete rotational and orbital evolution of asteroids accounting for collisions.

description: A distanza da qualche anno dall’esplodere della pandemia e considerata la ormai significativa letteratura che ne ha messo in evidenza l’impatto differenziato, specie in un’ottica di genere e con riferimento alle questioni del lavoro e dell’occupazione, il saggio propone una rilettura della formulazione dell’art. 37 della Costituzione italiana e del dibattito che fece da sfondo alla sua stesura, al fine di evidenziare alcune criticità legate alla redistribuzione dei ruoli nella sfera riproduttiva che richiedono di essere affrontate sia sul piano delle politiche pubbliche, sia in relazione alla interpretazione e applicazione della strumentazione giuridica esistente.

A number of years since the breakout of the pandemic and taking into account the relevant literature underlying its differentiated impact, especially from a gender perspective and with regards to employment and labour (market) issues, this paper offers a re-reading of Article 37 of the Italian Constitution and of the debate that took place when it was adopted in order to highlight challenges concerning redistribution of roles in the reproductive sphere, which require to be tackled both from the public policy perspective and when it comes to interpreting and applying existing legal tools.

description: What do patterns in legal language tell us about power, policy and justice? This question was at the heart of a conference on “The Fabric of Language and Law: Discovering Patterns through Legal Corpus Linguistics”, convened in March 2016 by the international research group “Computer Assisted Legal Linguistics” (CAL²) under the auspices of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences. About forty scholars from Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Spain and the US brought together their different intellectual and disciplinary perspectives on computational linguistics and legal thinking. Concluding the conference, four legal linguistics experts – two native linguists, two native lawyers – discussed the perspectives and limitations of computer-assisted legal linguistics. Their debate, which this article faithfully reproduces, touches on some of the essential epistemological issues of interdisciplinary research and evidence-based policy, and marks the way forward for legal corpus linguistics.

Band Gap Engineering and Controlling Transport Properties of Single Photons in Periodic and Disordered Jaynes-Cummings Arrays

description: We theoretically study the single photon transport properties in periodic and position-disordered Jaynes-Cummings (or JC) arrays of waveguide-coupled microtoroidal ring resonators, each interacting with a single two-level quantum emitter. Employing the real-space formalism of quantum optics, we focus on various parameter regimes of cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) to gain better control of single photon propagation in such a many-body quantum optical setting. As for some of the key findings, we observe that the periodic setting leads to the formation of the band structure in the photon transmission spectra, which is most evident in the strong coupling regime of cQCD. However, under the resonant conditions with no losses, the application of Bloch's theorem indicates that the width of forbidden gaps can be altered by tuning the emitter-cavity coupling to small values. Moreover, in the disordered case, we find that the single photon transmission curves show the disappearance of band formation. However, spectral features originating from cQED interactions observed for single atom-cavity problem remain robust against weak-disordered conditions. The results of this work may find application in the study of quantum many-body effects in the optical domain as well as in different areas of quantum computation and quantum networking.

Study of dynamic modelling and stability of passenger cars

description: Vibration in automobiles is very undesirable as it causes discomfort to the vehicle occupants and can also lead to fatigue and failure of the vehicle. Therefore, study and analysis of vehicle suspension dynamics has been an integral part of automobile research ever since the invention of automobiles. Vehicle vibration is related to the passenger comfort, safety and vehicle stability. Many researchers have analysed vehicle vibration by considering various models like quarter car, half car and full car models with different types of excitation. In continuation, this research investigates the responses of the quarter car and a half car model as the vehicle ride performance is generally assessed at the design stage by simulating the vehicle response to road excitation. This requires the development of a vehicle model to analysis their responses. The disturbances from the road are assumed to be constant or step function and the time responses and frequency responses of the sprung and unsprung masses have been studied. Simple yet, in practice, meaningful state-space formulations of the optimal suspension control problem for a half-car 2-DOF and 4-DOF vehicle models are given. Using an efficient equivalent representation, a complete analytical solution of the system was obtained.

The problem structure and associated analytical results are used to deduce the optimal solution. The optimal solution here is the damping, which has been optimised with the given set of fixed parameters. This research provides an insight on the suspension dynamics of the two most extensively used models in vehicle dynamics with their complete state space realisation, simulated using a code developed in Matlab platform. The codes developed in this research can be used to analyse the suspension system responses to road inputs. However, accuracy of the results obtained will depend on how accurately and effectively the system parameters have been measured. An experimental validation can be done for obtaining experimental responses in real situation, as it can provide better insight on the system responses and it will be interesting to compare responses obtained in both the ways. The models can be coupled with various control technologies to check their effectiveness and also to obtain the responses with different road excitations.
