description: In Egitto, sulla sponda occidentale dell’antica città di Tebe (odierna Luxor) vi è una vasta necropoli, nota con il nome di Assassif, che occupa la spianata desertica davanti ai tre templi funerari di Deir el-Bahari. La sua storia plurimillenaria risale almeno al regno del faraone Montuhotep II (2045-1994 a.C.) e prosegue sino all’epoca romana. Il periodo di maggior splendore di questo antico cimitero si colloca tra la fine dell’VIII e la metà del VI secolo a.C. In quel periodo (XXV e XXVI dinastia) furono innalzate una dozzina di tombe monumentali (note anche come 'palazzi funerari') per dare sepoltura a membri dell’élite tebana.

Effects of labelling on object perception and categorisation in infants
Creators: name: Capelier-Mourguy, Arthur
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: How do labels impact object perception and enhance categorisation? This question has been the focus of substantial theoretical debate, particularly in the developmental literature, with conflicting results. Specifically, whether labels for objects act as additional perceptual features or instead as referential pointers to category concepts has been the subject of intense debate. In this thesis, we attempted to shed a new light on this question, combining empirical results on both infants and adults, and neurocomputational models. First, we developed a dual-memory neurocomputational model of long-term learning inspired by Westermann and Mareschal's (2014) model, to test predictions of the two mains theories on labelling and categorisation on existing infant data, and to generate predictions for a follow-up study. Our modelling work suggested that for the empirical designs considered and age groups tested, labels were processed as object features, as opposed to having a more referential role. We then focused on explicitly testing potential attentional effects of auditory labels during categorisation in an empirical study. More precisely, we studied the interaction between feature salience, feature diagnosticity, and auditory labels, in a categorisation task. Surprisingly, we found that 15-month-old infants and adults could learn labelled categories in which the salient feature (head of line-drawn novel animals) was non-diagnostic of category membership, but the non-salient feature (tail) was, without adopting a different pattern of looking compared to participants in a control group. Although our data did not provide clear evidence for a true null effect, this finding was once again more compatible with the theory that labels act as features, not referents. This finding also led us to reconsider the use of eye movements and looking times as a proxy for learning, as it seemed that participants could learn more without looking more. Given our empirical results on salience and diagnosticity of features, and given the methodological differences in the handling of feature salience and diagnosticity in the categorisation literature, we developed a simple auto-encoder model to further study the impact of salience differences between features in the context of a categorisation task, with or without a label. Our simulations suggested that bigger disparities in salience between different features of an object can result in differences in terms of learning speed and compactness of categories in internal representations, hinting that future empirical studies should consider feature salience in their design. Overall then, this thesis provides some evidence in favour of the labels-as-features theory through the use of empirical eye-tracking data on infants and adults, and neurocomputational modelling. This thesis further asks new questions on the importance of feature salience in categorisation tasks, and the interpretation of eye movement and looking time data in general.

description: Many knots and links in S^3 can be drawn as gluing of three manifolds with one or more four-punctured S^2 boundaries. We call these knot diagrams as double fat graphs whose invariants involve only the knowledge of the fusion and the braiding matrices of four-strand braids. Incorporating the properties of four-point conformal blocks in WZNW models, we conjecture colored HOMFLY polynomials for these double fat graphs where the color can be rectangular or non-rectangular representation. With the recent work of Gu-Jockers, the fusion matrices for the non-rectangular [21] representation, the first which involves multiplicity is known. We verify our conjecture by comparing with the [21] colored HOMFLY of many knots, obtained as closure of three braids. The conjectured form is computationally very effective leading to writing [21]-colored HOMFLY polynomials for many pretzel type knots and non-pretzel type knots. In particular, we find class of pretzel mutants which are distinguished and another class of mutants which cannot be distinguished by [21] representation. The difference between the [21]-colored HOMFLY of two mutants seems to have a general form, with A-dependence completely defined by the old conjecture due to Morton and Cromwell. In particular, we check it for an entire multi-parametric family of mutant knots evaluated using evolution method.

description: Innovations contribute to economic growth. Hence, knowledge about drivers of innovation activities is a necessary input for economic policymaking when it comes to implement targeted support measures. We focus on firms as potential drivers of innovation and use a novel data-driven approach to identify them. The approach is based on news articles from a technology-related newspaper for the period 1996–2021. In a first step, natural language processing (NLP) tools are used to identify latent topics in the text corpus. Expert knowledge is used to tag innovation-related topics. In a second step, a named entity recognition (NER) method is used to detect firm names in the news articles. Combining the information about innovation-related topics and firms mentioned in news articles linked to these topics provides a set of firms linked to each innovation-related topic. The results suggest that the approach helps identifying drivers of innovation activities going beyond the usual suspects. However, given that the rate of false alarms is not negligible, at the end also human judgement is needed when using this approach.

description: This study evaluates whether a residential solar mandate in the case of roof renovation is a useful complement to economic incentives for further photovoltaics (PV) adoption. Analyzing determinants affecting PV ownership and installation intentions among single-family homeowners, as well as factors influencing support for a solar mandate and perceptions of its effectiveness, our empirical results, based on a survey of German utility customers, show that a residential solar mandate is a rather unpopular policy measure among homeowners. However, a solar mandate addresses two important factors which, according to our results, increase the willingness to install PV: firstly, the perception that the personal environment expects more PV, and secondly, an upcoming roof renovation. Both social desirability and a favorable time window can be institutionalized through a solar mandate. In terms of support for a solar mandate, we find that the perceived effectiveness of such a mandate has a strong influence on homeowner support. Perceived effectiveness, in turn, is closely related to perceived cost savings and perceived environmental benefits of PV. Based on these results, we conclude that an active information policy regarding the environmental and cost implications of PV expansion is essential to increase the acceptance of a solar mandate.

description: Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 is the most tunable of the Fe-based superconductors (FBS) in terms of acceptance of high densities of self-assembled and artificially introduced pinning centres which are effective in significantly increasing the critical current density, Jc. Moreover, FBS are very sensitive to strain, which induces an important enhancement in critical temperature, Tc, of the material. In this paper we demonstrate that strain induced by the substrate can further improve Jc of both single and multilayer films by more than that expected simply due to the increase in Tc. The multilayer deposition of Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 on CaF2 increases the pinning force density Fp by more than 60% compared to a single layer film, reaching a maximum of 84 GN/m^3 at 22.5T and 4.2 K, the highest value ever reported in any 122 phase.

Sovereign power after September 11
Creators: name: Barca, Emre
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: The day of September 11, 2001 has been widely acknowledged as a day on which a major historical event took place. The reason behind the grandiosity of this certain date was the ‘unexpected’ terrorist attacks against the US, causing the death of almost 3,000 people and the following wars as well as the changing social and political policies in one direction: War on Terror. Post-September 11 did not only cause literal wars but also domestically ruined the so- called balance between freedom and security in favour of a more powerful, unaccountable, interventionist, lawless and violent state. This was nothing but the sign of sovereign power at work in many states, which does not only opportunistically utilise the post-September 11 conditions to gain more power and weaken their opponents but also use it as a government technique sometimes against their own society. Nearly two decades after the event, this research tries to look at post-September 11 responses and how those responses changed our world. In this regard, this is a research about near history; not a historical research but a theoretical one about a continuing past, a past that is present in several ways: either as a residual or an active wound. It’s about the history of the present.

description: In fluid transport across nanopores, there is a fundamental dissipation that arises from the connection between the pore and the macroscopic reservoirs. This entrance effect can hinder the whole transport in certain situations, for short pores and/or highly slipping channels. In this paper, we explore the hydrodynamic permeability of hourglass shape nanopores using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, with the central pore size ranging from several nanometers down to a few Angstr{ö}ms. Surprisingly, we find a very good agreement between MD results and continuum hydrodynamic predictions, even for the smallest systems undergoing single file transport of water. An optimum of permeability is found for an opening angle around 5 degree, in agreement with continuum predictions, yielding a permeability five times larger than for a straight nanotube. Moreover, we find that the permeability of hourglass shape nanopores is even larger than single nanopores pierced in a molecular thin graphene sheet. This suggests that designing the geometry of nanopores may help considerably increasing the macroscopic permeability of membranes.

description: This paper analyses how some young Mozambican entrepreneurs obtained success, using their networks of contacts and other non-economic resources, which can be classified as “social capital”. This social capital allowed them to achieve recognition and ensure the sustainability of their businesses. To this end, a qualitative research has been carried out, based on six case studies of young entrepreneurs selected from different provinces of Mozambique. The research concluded the following: first, social networks are not spontaneous; second, strong ties had a great influence in the initial stage of the venture and the weak ties were created along the trajectory of the entrepreneurship, followed by the meaningful strategy and allowing the creation of social capital; third, the entrepreneurs without precedents of political ties or strong influence in the public sector, by their technical capacity, have their own social capital (stock), from the family networks, by means of their entrepreneurial characteristics (profile), recognition of competence (human capital) and motivated by financial and professional independence, business opportunities and personal fulfilment.

description: After many years of inactivity, the time has come to activate the external side of the EMU and surpass the time of pragmatic arrangements applied until now to the EU-IMF relationship. The economic crisis and the subsequent sovereign debt crisis in Europe have forced more transfers of competences from the EU countries to the EU institutions in the economic policy field, and this new dynamic in the European integration process provides a strong rationale for the EU and Euro area to reassess the external representation of the EU on EMU issues, including the participation in international institutions and fora and, in particular, in the IMF. Moreover, the implementation of the 2010 IMF reform after the US congressional approval will eliminate legal obstacles to a consolidation of the EU Member States' constituencies in the IMF. To develop Art. 138 TFEU, the European Commission presented a proposal to enhance the Euro area representation in the IMF in October 2015. After a reshuffling of the current IMF constituencies with Euro area Member States, the pro-posal advocates EU mixed representation in the IMF (EU and their Member States) with a single chair for the Euro area in the IMF Executive Board from 2025.

description: Metasurfaces offer unprecedented flexibility in the design and control of light propagation, replacing bulk optical components and exhibiting exotic optical effects. One of the basic properties of the metasurfaces, which renders them as frequency selective surfaces, is the ability to transmit or reflect radiation within a narrow spectral band that can be engineered on demand. Here we introduce and demonstrate experimentally in the THz domain the concept of wavevector selective surfaces -- metasurfaces transparent only within a narrow range of light propagation directions operating effectively as tunnel vision filters. Practical implementations of the new concept include applications in wavefront manipulation, observational instruments, vision and free-space communication in light-scattering environments, as well as passive camouflage.

Vision with Small Baselines

Subjects: subject: 80104 Computer Vision
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: 3D sensing with portable imaging systems is becoming more and more popular in computer vision applications such as autonomous driving, virtual reality, robotics manipulation and surveillance, due to the decreasing expense and size of RGB cameras. Despite the compactness and portability of the small baseline vision systems, it is well-known that the uncertainty in range finding using multiple views and the sensor baselines are inversely related. On the other hand, besides compactness, the small baseline vision system has its unique advantages such as easier correspondence andlarge overlapping regions across views. The goal of this thesis is to develop computational methods and small baseline imaging systems for 3D sensing of complex scenes in real world conditions. Our design principle is to physically model the scene complexities and specifically infer the uncertainties for the images captured with small baseline setups. With this design principle, we make four contributions. In the first contribution, we propose a two-stage near-light photometric stereo method using a small (6 cm diameter) LED ring. The imaging system is compact compared to traditional photometric stereo systems. In the second contribution, we develop an algorithm to simultaneously estimate the occlusion pattern and depth for thin structures from a focal image stack, which is obtained either by varying the focus/aperture of the lens or computed from a one-shot light field image. As the third contribution, we propose a learning-based method to estimate per-pixel depth and its uncertainty continuously from a monocularvideo stream, with small camera baselines across adjacent frames. These depth probability volumes are accumulated over time as more incoming frames are processedsequentially, which effectively reduces depth uncertainty and improves accuracy, robustness, and temporal stability. Finally, using a pair of high resolution camera andlaser projector, we develop a high spatial resolution Diffuse Optical Tomography system that can detect accurate boundaries and relative depth of heterogeneous structuresup to a depth of 8mm below a highly scattering medium such as whole milk. We showcase the application of a small baseline vision system for in-vivo microscale 3D reconstruction of capillary veins and develop a system for real-time analysis of microvascular blood flow for critical care. We believe that the computational methodsdeveloped in this thesis would find more applications of compact 3D sensing under challenging conditions.

description: We continue our investigation of 2+1 flavor QCD thermodynamics using dynamical Wilson fermions in the fixed scale approach. Two additional pion masses, approximately 440 MeV and 285 MeV, are added to our previous work at 545 MeV. The simulations were performed at 3 or 4 lattice spacings at each pion mass. The renormalized chiral condensate, strange quark number susceptibility and Polyakov loop is obtained as a function of the temperature and we observe a decrease in the light chiral pseudo-critical temperature as the pion mass is lowered while the pseudo-critical temperature associated with the strange quark number susceptibility or the Polyakov loop is only mildly sensitive to the pion mass. These findings are in agreement with previous continuum results obtained in the staggered formulation.

description: This thesis considers the network capacity design problem with demand uncertainty using the stochastic, robust and distributionally robust stochastic optimization approaches (DRSO). Network modeling in itself has found wide areas of application in most fields of human endeavor. The network would normally consist of source (origin) and sink (destination) nodes connected by arcs that allow for flows of an entity from the origin to the destination nodes. In this thesis, a special type of the minimum cost flow problem is addressed, the multi-commodity network flow problem. Commodities are the flow types that are transported on a shared network. Offered demands are, for the most part, unknown or uncertain, hence a model that immune against this uncertainty becomes the focus as well as the practicability of such models in the industry. This problem falls under the two-stage optimization framework where a decision is delayed in time to adjust for the first decision earlier made. The first stage decision is called the "here and now", while the second stage traffic re-adjustment is the "wait and see" decision. In the literature, the decision-maker is often believed to know the shape of the uncertainty, hence we address this by considering a data-driven uncertainty set. The research also addressed the non-linearity of cost function despite the abundance of literature assuming linearity and models proposed for this. This thesis consist of four main chapters excluding the "Introduction" chapter and the "Approaches to Optimization under Uncertainty" chapter where the methodologies are reviewed. The first of these four, Chapter 3, proposes the two models for the Robust Network Capacity Expansion Problem (RNCEP) with cost non-linearity. These two are the RNCEP with fixed-charge cost and RNCEP with piecewise-linear cost. The next chapter, Chapter 4, compares the RNCEP models under two types of uncertainties in order to address the issue of usefulness in a real world setting. The resulting two robust models are also comapared with the stochastic optimization model with distribution mean. Chapter 5 re-examines the earlier problem using machine learning approaches to generate the two uncertainty sets while the last of these chapters, Chapter 6, investigates DRSO model to network capacity planning and proposes an efficient solution technique.

description: This article aims to overcome the traditional image of the European Union's foreign and security policy by revealing an integrationist undercurrent that is boosted by both internal and external developments. It argues that both internal and external drivers have caused a consolidation of EU foreign policy, as well as a constitutionalisation underlining that CFSP is part of the Union's legal order. The aim is to note shifts and developments on the basis of new legal provisions (or new interpretations of provisions). It is argued that the treaty provisions as well as the case law of the Court point to an on-going integration and that even in the area of foreign policy EU nation-states have developed into Member States. At the same time, CFSP law remains lex imperfecta, as many logical next steps - for instance related to the role of Courts or the enforcements of CFSP norms - have not (yet) been taken.

description: The response of perfluorinated polymer fibers (PF-POFs) in X-ray, proton, and neutron irradiation was investigated for their potential application in clinical environments. Radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) in PF-POF increases linearly with dose and PF-POF was found to be highly sensitive to all the sources of radiation used. A sensitivity of 0.050 ± 0.003, 0.089 ± 0.005, and 0.065 ± 0.003 dB/m/Gy was recorded for 6 MV X-rays, 63 MeV protons, and 400 MeV neutrons, respectively, at a wavelength of 510 nm at room temperature. The PF-POF fibers also exhibit energy dependence—a useful feature in characterizing the depth dose in a proton beam. The high sensitivity of the fiber enables the development of distributed sensing in oncology and can be combined with other solid-state detectors in monitoring radiation dose in mixed radiation environments.
Majorana neutrinos with point interactions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose a realistic model with Majorana neutrinos in the framework of unifying the three generations of fermions by point interactions in an extra dimension. This model can simultaneously explain the origin of fermion generations, fermion masses and mixing, and the smallness of the masses of Majorana neutrinos. We show that there are two mechanisms working together to suppress the neutrino masses significantly, so we do not have to introduce a very large extra-dimension cut-off scale. One is the type-I seesaw mechanism and the other is the overlap integration of localized lepton wave functions. A singlet scalar with an exponential-like VEV plays a central role in these two mechanisms. For consistency in this model we introduce a $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry, which will be broken by the singlet scalar. Parameters of our model can fit the masses and flavor mixing data well. These parameters can also predict all CP violating phases including the Majorana ones and accidentally rescue the proton from decay.

Transverse momentum dependent gluon distributions at the LHC

description: Linearly polarized gluons inside an unpolarized proton contribute to the transverse momentum distributions of (pseudo)scalar particles produced in hadronic collisions, such as Higgs bosons and quarkonia with even charge conjugation ($η_c$, $η_b$, $χ_{c0}$, $χ_{b0}$). Moreover, they can produce azimuthal asymmetries in the associated production of a photon and a $J/ψ$ or a $Υ$ particle, in a kinematic configuration in which they are almost back to back. These observables, which can be measured in the running experiments at the LHC, could lead to a first extraction of both the polarized and the unpolarized gluon distributions and allow for a study of their process and energy scale dependences.

Nowadays, the respect for national legal traditions, or national constitutional identities is enshrined in Art. 4, para. 2, TEU, the so-called identity clause. Most commentators submit that national constitutional identity refers to certain aspects of the national constitutions which remain unaffected by EU law. This would make the identity clause an answer to the case law of several national constitutional courts. In this case law, constitutional courts have questioned the higher rank of EU law vis-à-vis national constitutions. Yet, this claim contradicts a key doctrine of EU law. According to well-established case law, the EU forms its own, autonomous legal order claiming authority independent of its Member States. In this paper, I will argue that the notion of legal tradition - notwithstanding its value in other respects - cannot be called upon to solve this fundamental question of authority.

description: Showcase of the work carried out during my MSc Thesis at the Computational Biology group, within the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS). It consisted of the implementation of a general compendium of transport mechanisms (passive and active transport) within a multiscale, physics-based simulation framework, PhysiCell. Small unit tests are presented as proof-of-concepts for the implementation. Moreover, this implementation is intended to be generic, user-friendly and modular. The poster also showcases work carried out after the completion of the MSc Thesis. This project focuses on the development of an Gastric Adenocarcinoma-specific simulation template that predicts drug synergies, based on obtained experimental data.
Spin-mixing Interferometry with Bose-Einstein Condensates

description: Unstable spinor Bose-Einstein condensates are ideal candidates to create nonlinear three-mode interferometers. Our analysis goes beyond the standard SU(1,1) parametric approach and therefore provides the regime of parameters where sub shot-noise sensitivities can be reached with respect to the input total average number of particles. Decoherence due to particle losses and finite detection efficiency are also considered.

Inner Work Space: Reflective Tools & Practices to Support the Self at Work
Creators: name: Petrich, Julia
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: Design

description: In workplaces, especially those that are traditional and hierarchical, the ideas of teamwork, collaboration, communication, trust, and safety have becomecorporate buzzwords. But what do we need as individuals to make these things come true in our work lives? How can we collectively create work environments that foster these ideals? My intention with this thesis project was to explore ways to support the self at work, starting at the base unit of a workplace community, the individual, and to propose methods and resources for individuals to practice self-reflection in the workplace. Through the course of this project, I investigated theories and frameworks related to the self, reflection, and the workplace and applied them to prototypes that served both as generative research methods and designs to evaluate. The methods devised and prototypes designed drew on ideas from psychology,sociology, business, spirituality, and other fields related to personal and professional growth. The outcome of this thesis is a system of tools called Inner Work Spacethat supports reflection-in-action, reflection-on-action, and reflection-for-action. Ultimately, I aim for Inner Work Space to meet individuals where they are with accessible tools that assist them in the moment of need and beyond and touse myself as probes to continue to explore this space and expand on the contributions of this thesis project.

description: People regularly share items using online social media. However, people's decisions around sharing---who shares what to whom and why---are not well understood. We present a user study involving 87 pairs of Facebook users to understand how people make their sharing decisions. We find that even when sharing to a specific individual, people's own preference for an item (individuation) dominates over the recipient's preferences (altruism). People's open-ended responses about how they share, however, indicate that they do try to personalize shares based on the recipient. To explain these contrasting results, we propose a novel process model of sharing that takes into account people's preferences and the salience of an item. We also present encouraging results for a sharing prediction model that incorporates both the senders' and the recipients' preferences. These results suggest improvements to both algorithms that support sharing in social media and to information diffusion models.

description: The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) project has been proposed for the survey and study of cosmic rays. In the LHAASO project, the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA) is one of major detectors for searching gamma ray sources. A Charge-to-Time Convertor (QTC) ASIC (Application Specification Integrated Circuit) fabricated in Global Foundry 0.35 μm CMOS technology, has been developed for readout of Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) in the WCDA. This paper focuses on the evaluation of this front-end readout ASIC performance. Test results indicate that the time resolution is better than 400 ps and the charge resolution is better than 1% with large input signals and remains better than 15% @ 1 Photo Electron (P.E.), both beyond the application requirement. Moreover, this ASIC has a weak ambient temperature dependence, low input rate dependence and high channel-to-channel isolation.

description: O projeto apresentado tem como objetivo a conservação do mural integrado à fachada do edifício Jorge Machado Moreira, criado na primeira metade do século XX pelo artista Burle Marx, localizado na Cidade Universitária – Ilha do Fundão. No trabalho proposto serão apresentados os estudos das características estilísticas, técnicas construtivas, materiais utilizados e a análise do estado de conservação para a identificação dos agentes de degradação que alteram física e químicamente a obra, com o intuito de obter o diagnóstico e orientações referentes à conservação preventiva. Para tanto, serão realizados a análise do ambiente, para: verificar a influência da radiação solar, ventos, chuvas, entre outros agentes, bem como a investigação físico-química do mural, de modo a identificar a composição material da obra e dos poluentes e a tinta utilizada nas ações de vandalismo. Denota-se nesta pesquisa, a importância da educação patrimonial para a preservação do patrimônio como meio de elucidar e evitar o vandalismo. Neste sentido, propomos palestras e vídeos com orientações e medidas para minimizar essas ações que alteram o patrimônio. O trabalho está em desenvolvimento, e os resultados iniciais revelam danos estruturais, sujidades, crosta negra, fissuras, rachaduras, ferragem exposta, terreno em desnível onde está localizada a fachada do mural e ações de vandalismo, alterações causadas pelos agentes ambientais e antrópicos. Concluímos que, os estudos iniciais, as coletas de materiais do mural, da tinta utilizada no vandalismo e da crosta negra para análise, além da elaboração de vídeos elucidativos sobre educação patrimonial, contribuirão para a conservação da obra.

description: Die Energiesicherheit Deutschlands und Polens im Kontext der EU is the author's published master thesis. The aim of the book is to make a contribution to the ongoing discussion about the European Union's energy security strategy. Sybille Reitz's focus is on the cases of Germany and Poland, which are meant to represent "old" and "new" EU member states (p. 22). The author points out the differences and similarities of both cases and highlights potential solutions to improve energy security. While the analysis focuses on the 2000s and especially the first half of the 2010s, according to Reitz, however, the most significant difference between the Polish and German approaches to energy security results from their respective historical experiences.
