description: X-ray absorption (XAS) and emission (XES) spectroscopy near B-K and C-K edges have been performed on metallic (~1at%B, B-diamond) and semiconducting (~0.1at%B and N, BN-diamond) doped-diamond films. Both B-K XAS and XES spectra shows metallic partial density of state (PDOS) with the Fermi energy of 185.3 eV, and there is no apparent boron-concentration dependence in contrast to the different electric property. In C-K XAS spectrum of B-diamond, the impurity state ascribed to boron is clearly observed near the Fermi level. The Fermi energy is found to be almost same with the top of the valence band of non-doped diamond, E_V, 283.9 eV. C-K XAS of BN-diamond shows both the B-induced shallow level and N-induced deep-and-broad levels as the in-gap states, in which the shallow level is in good agreement with the activation energy (E_a=0.37 eV) estimated from the temperature dependence of the conductivity, namely the change in C-2p PDOS of impurity-induced metallization is directly observed. The electric property of this diamond is mainly ascribed to the electronic structure of C-2p near the Fermi level. The observed XES spectra are compared with the DVX-alpha cluster calculation. The DVX-alpha result supports the strong hybridization between B-2p and C-2p observed in XAS and XES spectra, and suggests that the small amount of borons (<1at%) in diamond occupy the substitutional site rather than interstitial site.

description: Royston (2004) introduced mvis, an implementation for Stata of MICE, a method of multiple multivariate imputation of missing values under missing-at-random (MAR) assumptions. In a second article, Royston (2005) described ice, an upgrade incorporating various improvements and changes to the software based on personal experience, discussion with colleagues, and user requests. This article describes an update to ice. The changes are less substantial but nevertheless important enough to warrant a brief explanation. The major modification is that the default method of imputing missing values in ice is now by sampling from the posterior predictive distribution rather than by predicted mean matching. The ice system comprises five ado-files: ice, micombine, mijoin, misplit, and uvis. The last three programs have not been changed and are included in the present release for the sake of completeness.

description: We have investigated the electronic structure of iridates in the double perovskite crystal structure containing either Ir$^{4+}$ or Ir$^{5+}$ using hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The experimental valence band spectra can be well reproduced using tight binding calculations including only the Ir $5d$, O $2p$ and O $2s$ orbitals with parameters based on the downfolding of the density-functional band structure results. We found that regardless of the A and B cations, the A$_2$BIrO$_6$ iridates have essentially zero O $2p$ to Ir $5d$ charge transfer energies. Hence, double perovskite iridates turn out to be extremely covalent systems with the consequence being that the magnetic exchange interactions become very long-ranged, thereby hampering the materialization of the long-sought Kitaev physics. Nevertheless, it still would be possible to realize a spin-liquid system using the iridates with a proper tuning of the various competing exchange interactions.

description: The main objective of this master thesis is to define critical success factors in the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in the cement industry. First, the author decided to examine the literature, search for developed theoretical frameworks, and use these to evaluate and examine what the specific success factors of the Artificial Intelligence Expert System implemented in the Mannersdorf cement plant are. Research was done by examining two specific cases, which were evaluated using theoretical frameworks and a developed questionnaire. Due to the nature of business operations in the Mannersdorf plant, the questionnaire sample was not large enough to provide reliable statistical data. Therefore, this research is exploratory in nature and the conclusions derived describe the personal view of the author of this thesis. In the case of the Mannersdorf plant, the author defines five critical factors, these being Problem Importance, Developers skill, Shell Characteristics, Expert Characteristic and User Involvement. Further, the author takes a critical look at these factors, concluding that this success is not part of some structural process; rather it is the result of the personal motivation of the local users and other circumstances, for example ease of use of the software. Finally, the author reflects on the two specific cases and gives his personal recommendations for the better adoption of Artificial Intelligence in the cement industry. These are: a clear AI strategy, investment in talents and skills and openness to new business models.
title: Implementing General Moment Equations for Parallel Closures in NIMROD
Creators: name: Lee, Hankyu
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: Understanding how magnetic fields impact plasma transport is essential for improving the efficiency of thermonuclear fusion power plants. To address the transport problem, both plasma fluid equations and Maxwell’s equations must be solved. To solve these equations, it is necessary to derive closure relations that allow the system to be closed. Previous closure models are useful for describing the behavior of high-collisionality plasma but are not effective at low collisionality. To obtain closure relations valid for low collisionality, the first-order drift kinetic equation must be solved.
This study presents methods for numerically obtaining parallel closures for NIMROD code by deriving a system of parallel moment equations from the drift kinetic equation in an axisymmetric magnetic field. Two methods are introduced: one uses two-dimensional finite elements in the poloidal plane of a tokamak. The other is a hybrid method that reduces memory burden by using the Fourier method over the poloidal angle of the tokamak to obtain closures, and then converting them back to the finite element basis. The obtained closures show convergence with an increasing number of moments and accurately resolve the drift kinetic equation, making this approach effective for incorporating kinetic effects into fluid simulations for nuclear fusion devices.

description: We present designs for the augmentation 'mirror' pulses of large-momentum-transfer atom interferometers that maintain their fidelity as the wavepacket momentum difference is increased. These bi-selective pulses, tailored using optimal control methods to the evolving bi-modal momentum distribution, should allow greater interferometer areas and hence increased inertial measurement sensitivity, without requiring elevated Rabi frequencies or extended frequency chirps. Using an experimentally validated model, we have simulated the application of our pulse designs to large-momentum-transfer atom interferometry using stimulated Raman transitions in a laser-cooled atomic sample of $^{85}$Rb at 1 $μ$K. After the wavepackets have separated by 42 photon recoil momenta, our pulses maintain a fringe contrast of 90% whereas, for adiabatic rapid passage and conventional $π$ pulses, the contrast is less than 10%. Furthermore, we show how these pulses may be adapted to suppress the detrimental off-resonant excitation that limits other broadband pulse schemes.

Production of acetic acid by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during icewine fermentations
Creators: name: Erasmus, Daniel Jacobus
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The metabolic pathways in S. cerevisiae during fermentation of Icewine grape must have not been studied and the transcriptional response of this yeast to sugar stress has not been investigated. Global transcriptional analyses showed that the transcription of 589 genes in S. cerevisiae was affected more than two-fold in grape juice containing 40% (w/v) sugars. High sugar stress up-regulated the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway genes. Gene expression profiles indicate that the oxidative and non-oxidative branches of the pentose phosphate pathway were up-regulated and might be used to shunt more glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate from the glycolytic pathway into the pentose phosphate pathway, respectively. Structural genes involved in the synthesis of acetic acid from acetaldehyde, and succinic acid from glutamate, were also up-regulated. Genes involved in the de novo biosynthesis of purines, pyrimidines, histidine and lysine were down-regulated by sugar stress. Wine yeast produce acetic acid as a by-product of the hyper osmotic stress response caused by high sugar concentrations (>35 % w/v) in grape must. Seven commercially available wine yeast strains were compared for Icewine production. Yeast strains were evaluated for acetic acid and glycerol formation, fermentation rates and sensory characteristics. Fermentation rates and acetic acid and glycerol formation were significantly different (p<0.05) and linked to the yeast strain. Icewines produced with the different yeast strains showed significant differences for overall quality, perceived sulphur-like aroma and colour (p<0.05). ST, N96 and EC1118 were identified as the most suitable yeast strains for the production of Icewine. S. cerevisiae strain ST produced the lowest amounts of acetic acid and glycerol, while strain VIN7 produced the highest amounts of acetic acid and glycerol. Global gene expression analysis revealed that genes involved in glycerol and acetic acid formation were expressed at higher levels in VIN7 than in ST. PCR analyses showed that approximately 30 kb on the left arm of chromosome XV, close to the telomere, is absent in VIN7. Among the genes absent is YOL159C, a gene whose deletion causes osmosensitivity and an increase in Tyl retrotranspositions, which may cause genetic instability.

Contrary to the experience at atmospheric pressure, at very low pressures the gas gain on thick wires is higher than that on thin wires at the same applied high voltage as was recently shown. Bigger wire diameters should be used in wire chambers operating at very low pressure if multiple scattering on wires is not an issue.

description: In January 2011, a supercomputer called IBM Watson played a game Jeopardy! and won against two of its best human players in the history of this game, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. “And winning at Jeopardy! requires mastering of pattern matching and complex communication, repeatedly, accurately, and almost simultaneously.” (Brynjolfsson and McAfee, 2016, p. 24- 27) Ever since the discussion of human superiority versus machines is ongoing and it is one of the hottest topics of nowadays. This research aims to understand the global implications of AI and advanced technologies on jobs across the industry and find practical solutions to support industry productivity growth and novel ideas. In the first part of the study, based on the literature review, the human plus machine collaboration is carefully elaborated and made as a recommendation for the organizations to win the race against competitors and attract and keep their top talent. We are witnessing the unprecedented level of disruption and we see companies that are capable of fundamentally changing the way they serve their customers by adopting the proper mindset, being open to experimentation and investing in their workforce. (Accenture, 2018b) found that 64 percent of workers recognize that the speed of change is advancing as a result of advanced technologies such as AI. The second part of the study focuses on the five key management practices to support organizations leaders to be at the forefront of implementing advanced AI technologies. Findings from a combination of theoretical and practical research through literature review and case studies suggest that factors such as leadership, data-driven decision making as well fusion skills augmenting human capabilities, could be defined as thriving factors to succeed in the world of human plus machine collaboration. This research provides actionable recommendations for all three constituents individuals, organizations and policy makers, to better prepare for the exciting new world of work where humans will work together with machines to successfully master worlds greatest challenges.

description: Identifying patterns in bivariate data on a scatterplot remains a basic statistical problem, with special avor when both variables are on the same footing. Ideas of double, diagonal, and polar smoothing inspired by Cleveland and McGill’s 1984 paper in the Journal of the American Statistical Association are revisited with various examples from environmental datasets. Double smoothing means smoothing both y given x and x given y. Diagonal smoothing means smoothing based on the sum and difference of y and x that treats the two variables symmetrically, possibly under standardization. Polar smoothing is based on the transformation from Cartesian to polar coordinates followed by smoothing and then reverse transformation; here the smoothing is implemented by regression on a series of sine and cosine terms. These methods thus offer exploratory tools for determining the broad structure of bivariate data.

The form factor, calculated without fitting parameters, is in a good agreement with experiment for space-like and time-like photon momenta. Loop corrections to the two-pion hadronic contribution a^{(had, π)}_μto the muon anomalous magnetic moment are calculated. The optimal value of the sigma-meson mass appears to be close to the rho-meson mass.

description: The United States and China relations have evolved from tense standoffs to a complex mix of intensifying diplomacy, growing international rivalry, and increasingly intertwined economies. In 1979, the United States and China re-established diplomatic relations and signed a bilateral trade agreement, providing mutual mostfavored-nation treatment, which allowed to substantially expand their economic relationship since then. Between 1980 and 2018, the United States and China trade rose from US$ 4.9 billion to US$ 738.6 billion, making them each others largest trading partners on a country basis. Between 1990 and 2018, the United States merchandise trade deficit with China rose from US$ 10.4 billion to US$ 419.3 billion. Chinas large merchandise trade surpluses and some trading practices with the United States have strained both countries relations. In 2018, China was the largest foreign holder of the United States government debt at US$ 1.113 trillion. The rising Chinas economy set off alarm bells amongst advanced economies, particularly the Unites States. Thus, their bilateral trade balances have come under scrutiny. Recently, trade tariffs, as an instrument of trade and foreign policy, have returned to mainstream politics in the United States, raising fears of resurgence of protectionism. The United States imposed tariff hikes on US$ 250 billion worth of Chinese products, while China retaliated with tariff hikes on US$ 110 billion worth of the United States products. Their rivalry began playing out in the crucial technology sector. The ongoing trade conflict between the worlds two largest economies, which account to 40% of global GDP, had increased fears that further escalation would harm the global economy. In 2019, the International Monetary Fund reported that the United States and China tensions have negatively affected consumers and producers in both countries. Although the imposed tariffs have reduced trade between them, their bilateral trade deficit remained broadly unchanged, while the impact on global growth was relatively modest. However, disruption risks remained for the global supply chains. It is argued that trade wars are not easy to win, even for large economies such as the United States. China has the tools to manage the economic blow. Thus, the United States and China will eventually reach a deal to lift some of their reciproc l tariffs, but their economic competition will persist as the United States strategy evolves beyond tariffs to counter Chinas emergence as an economic, military, and political peer. It is argued that both countries might be falling in a “Thucydides trap” when a major rising power challenges a major ruling power.

description: European air traffic is continuously growing and now reaching the airspace capacity limits even in normal weather conditions. Adverse weather can considerably reduce airspace capacity, as a result suitable measures need to be taken to ensure air traffic is kept safe and reliable under such conditions. Air traffic regulations are the main measure taken to avoid that arrival traffic is exceeding the available airport capacity. Under such a regulation aircraft which would arrive in the regulated period are delayed on ground at the origin. The delay is not only inconvenient for passengers, but also a major cost factor for airlines. Weather forecasts are inherently uncertain. An adequate way to represent these uncertainties are probabilistic weather forecasts. For optimal implementation of such forecasts in air traffic management decisionmaking, a suitable decision support framework is required. Previous work on weather integration in air traffic management is reviewed as a basis for proposing a decision support framework for the air traffic flow and capacity management at airports. Two utility measures are developed for decision making. The first measure is based on a cost model which uses flight delay and flight diversions derived from air traffic simulations as input. The second measure represents the balance of traffic entering an airspace volume with the available capacity and is obtained from traffic demand and expected weather scenarios. In case studies the suitability of the utility measures for decision making is investigated. A simple cost-loss decision making approach and a more complex approach based on evaluating expected utility for a range of decisions and weather scenarios are applied. Results show that cost of delay is very sensitive to small variations of input data, while the traffic-capacity balance is more robust. i

description: Motivated by recent studies by Dorey, Pocklington and Tateo for unitary minimal models perturbed by phi_{1,2}, we examine the thermodynamics of one dimensional quantum systems, whose counterparts in the 2D classical model are the dilute A_L models in regime 2. The functional relations for arbitrary values of L are established. Guided by numerical evidences, we obtain a set of coupled integral equations from the established relations, which yields the evaluation of the free energy at arbitrary temperature. In the scaling limit, the integral equations coincide with the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations (TBA) proposed in {DPT2}, thereby support their results. The new Fermionic representations of the Virasoro characters are shortly remarked.

description: Conserver la diversité biologique à l'échelle du continent, tel est le défi qu'entend relever l'Union européenne en adoptant en 1992 la directive Habitats. A travers cette initiative, les décideurs européens souhaitent apporter leur contribution à ce qui constitue aujourd'hui l'un des nouveaux enjeux planétaires. Les résultats des recherches présentés ici rendent compte de la mise en oeuvre de cette politique à l'échelle de la France. Ils sont centrés sur la phase d'élaboration (1999-2005) de "documents d'objectifs", au cours de laquelle il s'est agi de produire, sur chaque site désigné au titre le la directive, un document de gestion visant à accomplir les objectifs de conservation de la biodiversité. L'analyse s'attache à examiner le processus concerté d'élaboration de ces actions de gestion à l'échelle des sites, en questionnant plus particulièrement la dynamique d'interaction entre les acteurs mobilisés.

description: There are an increasing number of individuals who participate in multiplayer video games and an increase in screen time overall. Due to the increase in online video game play, this study aimed to find possible positive impacts that online multiplayer video games had on freshmen who are adjusting to college, as this is a pivotal point in life. The data were collected at the beginning of the second semester and 99 freshman, 18 years or older, who regularly engaged in online multiplayer video games participated in the study. The study showed four important findings: First, students who receive support from online gaming experience lower levels of stress. Second, students who think negatively about online gaming tend to have lower levels of college adjustment. Third, higher levels of negative thoughts about gaming are linked to feeling more stressed. Fourth, students who feel less stressed tend to adjust better to college.

description: Large corporates have issues with innovating by virtue of lacking the ability to explore rather than exploit. Supported intrapreneurship programs can be a great starting point for exploration and for establishing an ambidextrous organization. One of the biggest challenges with exploration for large organizations is the struggle with the risks new ventures bear. Human-centred methodologies are a way to reduce uncertainty is by testing the most critical assumptions at an early stage. Through the integration of early customer feedback, not only the risks of venturing are decreased, but the venturing process is also accelerated. The thesis reviews methodologies and existing innovation processes and proposes an adapted innovation process that support a fast time-to-market and reduce uncertainty. This adapted process ensures exploration with a human-centred approach suitable for SIPs. In additional to the process, several supporting elements should be taken into consideration for the design of a Supported intrapreneurship programs. By analysing several case studies, I both confirmed that methodological elements outlined in the literature are found in practice and observed additional elements that ensure the removal of impediments and allow for rapid nonincremental venturing. This thesis shows that intrapreneurship requires an ecosystem of ideas, talent and capital (Hammel, 1999). It describes the various roles that can both be found in the literature and outlined in the case studies. It shows that part-time engagement of participants is required if there is a wish to integrate intrapreneurs back into the organization. Moreover, this thesis elaborates what incentivization mechanisms can be applied for SIPs and what cultural aspects need to be considered for the design. Lastly, it offers frameworks that can be helpful in easing stop/go decisions and provides frameworks for measuring the success of SIPs.

description: Pour évaluer les conséquences des modifications des instruments de soutien il est important de bien connaître la diversité des modèles de production et d’apprécier leurs forces et faiblesses. C’est l’objet de cette analyse qui se focalise sur six bassins de production localisés au nord de l’Union européenne et qui s’appuie, d’une part, sur un traitement des données du Réseau d’Information Comptable Agricole (RICA) et, d’autre part, sur des enquêtes auprès d’experts et d’éleveurs. Dotées d’une plus faible productivité du travail que leurs concurrentes du nord, les exploitations laitières françaises sont avantagées par un faible coût d’acquisition des moyens de production (quota et foncier) et par des systèmes alimentaires performants. Si elles sont actuellement pénalisées par des frais de mécanisation élevés et des investissements soutenus, elles pourraient devenir économiquement plus performantes à moyen terme grâce au remboursement progressif des emprunts et aux futurs gains de productivité.
A Theoretical Study on Spin-Dependent Transport of "Ferromagnet/Carbon Nanotube Encapsulating Magnetic Atoms/Ferromagnet" Junctions with 4-Valued Conductances

description: As a novel function of ferromagnet (FM)/spacer/FM junctions, we theoretically investigate multiple-valued (or multi-level) cell property, which is in principle realized by sensing conductances of four states recorded with magnetization configurations of two FMs; (up,up), (up,down), (down,up), (down,down). In order to sense all the states, 4-valued conductances corresponding to the respective states are necessary. We previously proposed that 4-valued conductances are obtained in FM1/spin-polarized spacer (SPS)/FM2 junctions, where FM1 and FM2 have different spin polarizations, and the spacer depends on spin [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 15, 8797 (2003)]. In this paper, an ideal SPS is considered as a single-wall armchair carbon nanotube encapsulating magnetic atoms, where the nanotube shows on-resonance or off-resonance at the Fermi level according to its length. The magnitude of the obtained 4-valued conductances has an opposite order between the on-resonant nanotube and the off-resonant one, and this property can be understood by considering electronic states of the nanotube. Also, the magnetoresistance ratio between (up,up) and (down,down) can be larger than the conventional one between parallel and anti-parallel configurations.

description: A lot of researchers in technical fields in Austria produce great results in research and development of new technologies or methods in various fields. This knowledge is usually in a state where it is ready to get commercialized via numerous channels. Nevertheless, not many of these technologies or methods reach the market as products or services. This thesis focuses on finding barriers and enablers for Sciencepreneurship in Austria in an empirical study. A sciencepreneur is a university employee or student who founds a company to commercialize an invention created at the university. The main focus will be on universities and research institutions located in Austria. To find barriers and enablers, three groups have been investigated - Researchers, Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) and Spin-offs. The three groups have been interviewed in a qualitative interview process. Further, the obtained data has been coded and categorized to find overarching enablers and barriers for Sciencepreneurship in Austria. It can be concluded that in the empirical study 11 barriers and 11 enablers have been identified and described. Among the most important enablers for Sciencepreneurs in Austria are “incubation, acceleration and services” as well as a comprehensive “university and knowledge transfer strategy”. Additionally, strong partnerships and cooperation as well as integrated entrepreneurial education are very important for successful spin-offs. The main barriers with the highest frequency for Sciencepreneurs in Austria are the currently implemented incentive schemes and the success measures for scientists which do not foster entrepreneurship. Additionally, a perceived barrier is the IP and patent process and the career inflexibility for researchers. The found enablers and barriers describe the phenomenon, that not many great ideas in science can be transferred to products on the market, in a better way. Out of the enablers and barriers, policy makers, universities or research institutions can now define focus points and adaptions in their strategies and policies.

description: Advancing our understanding of human behavior hinges on the ability of theories to unveil the mechanisms underlying such behaviors. Measuring the ability of theories and models to predict unobserved behaviors provides a principled method to evaluate their merit and, thus, to help establish which mechanisms are most plausible. Here, we propose models and develop rigorous inference approaches to predict strategic decisions in dyadic social dilemmas. In particular, we use bipartite stochastic block models that incorporate information about the dilemmas faced by individuals. We show, combining these models with empirical data on strategic decisions in dyadic social dilemmas, that individual strategic decisions are to a large extent predictable, despite not being "rational." The analysis of these models also allows us to conclude that: (i) individuals do not perceive games according their game-theoretical structure; (ii) individuals make decisions using combinations of multiple simple strategies, which our approach reveals naturally.
