title: From Dataveillance to Data Economy: Firm View on Data Protection
Creators: name: Degli Esposti, Sara
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: The increasing availability of electronic records and the expanded reliance on online communications and services have made available a huge amount of data about people’s behaviours, characteristics, and preferences. Advancements in data processing technology, known as big data, offer opportunities to increase organisational efficiency and competitiveness. Analytically sophisticated companies excel in their ability to extract value from the analysis of digital data. However, in order to exploit the potential economic benefits produced by big data and analytics, issues of data privacy and information security need to be addressed. In Europe, organisations processing personal data are being required to implement basic data protection principles, which are considered difficult to implement in big data environments. Little is known in the privacy studies literature about how companies manage the trade-off between data usage and data protection. This study contributes to explore the corporate data privacy environment, by focusing on the interrelationship between the data protection legal regime, the application of big data analytics to achieve corporate objectives, and the creation of an organisational privacy culture. It also draws insights from surveillance studies, particularly the idea of dataveillance, to identify potential limitations of the current legal privacy regime. The findings from the analysis of survey data show that big data and data protection support each other, but also that some frictions can emerge around data collection and data fusion. The demand for the integration of different data sources poses challenges to the implementation of data protection principles. However, this study finds no evidence that data protection laws prevent data gathering. Implications relevant for the debate on the reform of European data protection law are also drawn from these findings.

description: We present a numerical study of sidebranching of a solidifying dendrite by means of a phase--field model. Special attention is paid to the regions far from the tip of the dendrite, where linear theories are no longer valid. Two regions have been distinguished outside the linear region: a first one in which sidebranching is in a competition process and a second one further down where branches behave as independent of each other. The shape of the dendrite and integral parameters characterizing the whole dendrite (contour length and area of the dendrite) have been computed and related to the characteristic tip radius for both surface tension and kinetic dominated dendrites. Conclusions about the different behaviors observed and comparison with available experiments and theoretical predictions are presented.

description: Local master equations are a widespread tool to model open quantum systems, especially in the context of many-body systems. These equations, however, are believed to lead to thermodynamic anomalies and violation of the laws of thermodynamics. In contrast, here we rigorously prove that local master equations are consistent with thermodynamics and its laws without resorting to a microscopic model, as done in previous works. In particular, we consider a quantum system in contact with multiple baths and identify the relevant contributions to the total energy, heat currents and entropy production rate. We show that the second law of thermodynamics holds when one considers the proper expression we derive for the heat currents. We confirm the results for the quantum heat currents by using a heuristic argument that connects the quantum probability currents with the energy currents, using an analogous approach as in classical stochastic thermodynamics. We finally use our results to investigate the thermodynamic properties of a set of quantum rotors operating as thermal devices and show that a suitable design of three rotors can work as an absorption refrigerator or a thermal rectifier. For the machines considered here, we also perform an optimisation of the system parameters using an algorithm of reinforcement learning.

description: Different scheduling algorithms for mixed criticality systems have been recently proposed. The common denominator of these algorithms is to discard low critical tasks whenever high critical tasks are in lack of computation resources. This is achieved upon a switch of the scheduling mode from Normal to Critical. We distinguish two main categories of the algorithms: system-level mode switch and task-level mode switch. System-level mode algorithms allow low criticality (LC) tasks to execute only in normal mode. Task-level mode switch algorithms enable to switch the mode of an individual high criticality task (HC), from low (LO) to high (HI), to obtain priority over all LC tasks. This paper investigates an online scheduling algorithm for mixed-criticality systems that supports dynamic mode switches for both task level and system level. When a HC task job overruns its LC budget, then only that particular job is switched to HI mode. If the job cannot be accommodated, then the system switches to Critical mode. To accommodate for resource availability of the HC jobs, the LC tasks are degraded by stretching their periods until the Critical mode exhibiting job complete its execution. The stretching will be carried out until the resource availability is met. We have mechanized and implemented the proposed algorithm using Uppaal. To study the efficiency of our scheduling algorithm, we examine a case study and compare our results to the state of the art algorithms.

description: We present a model analysis of the tumor and normal cell growth under the influence of a carcinogenic agent, an immunomdulator (IM) and variable influx of immune cells including relevant interactions. The tumor growth is facilitated by carcinogens such as inorganic arsenic while the IM considered here is black tea (Camellia sinesnsis). The model with variable influx of immune cells is observed to have considerable advantage over the constant influx model, and while the tumor cell population is greatly mitigated, normal cell population remains above healthy levels. The evolution of normal and tumor cells are computed from the proposed model and their local stabilities are investigated analytically. Numerical simulations are performed to study the long term dynamics and an estimation of the effects of various factors is made. This helps in developing a balanced strategy for tumor mitigation without the use of chemotherapeutic drugs that usually have strong side-effects.

We show that the amenability constant of $A(G)$ is less than or equal to $\sup \{°(π) : π\in \hat{G} \}$ and that it is equal to one if and only if $G$ is abelian.

description: The preservation of the scholarly record has been a point of concern since the beginning of knowledge production. With print publications, the responsibility rested primarily with librarians, but the shift toward digital publishing and, in particular, the introduction of open access (OA) have caused ambiguity and complexity. Consequently, the long-term accessibility of journals is not always guaranteed, and they can even disappear from the web completely. The focus of this exploratory study is on the phenomenon of vanished journals, something that has not been carried out before. For the analysis, we consulted several major bibliographic indexes, such as Scopus, Ulrichsweb, and the Directory of Open Access Journals, and traced the journals through the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. We found 174 OA journals that, through lack of comprehensive and open archives, vanished from the web between 2000 and 2019, spanning all major research disciplines and geographic regions of the world. Our results raise vital concern for the integrity of the scholarly record and highlight the urgency to take collaborative action to ensure continued access and prevent the loss of more scholarly knowledge. We encourage those interested in the phenomenon of vanished journals to use the public dataset for their own research.

The special properties of three-forms in 6d, as well as Hitchin's action functional, play an important role. The latter defines a quantum field theory similar to Polyakov's formulation of 2d gravity; the curious analogy with world-sheet action of bosonic string is also pointed out.

Building large sets of haptic icons : rhythm as a design parameter, and between-subjects MDS for evaluation
Creators: name: Ternes, David Richard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Haptic icons (brief, tactile stimuli with associated meanings) are a useful new way to convey information through the modality of touch, but they are difficult to create because of our lack of understanding into what makes good haptic stimuli and how people will perceive them. This thesis aims to enlarge our capabilities to design and evaluate haptic icons, despite these problems. We seek to do this via two overlapping threads of research. In the first thread, we introduce the design parameter of rhythm as a means of extending the expressive capabilities of the simple tactile stimuli used in haptic icons. This allows us to create a set of expressive and perceptually distinguishable haptic stimuli larger by almost an order of magnitude than any previously created. In the second thread of research, we tackle the problem of how to evaluate the perceptual characteristics of such a large set of stimuli with real people. We develop a means of evaluation that allows us to collect perceived difference data by present each user with only a subset of the total stimulus collection, and then stitch together an aggregate picture of how the stimuli are perceived via data collected from overlapping subsets from different users. To advance these two threads of research, two user studies are run in order to examine how our haptic stimulus set is perceived and to validate our new method of gathering perceptual difference data. One study uses an established but cumbersome technique to study our stimulus set, and finds that haptic rhythms are perceived according to several different aspects of rhythm, and that users can consistently differentiate between haptic stimuli along these aspects. The second study uses our newly developed data collection method to study the same stimulus set, and we find that the new technique produces results that show no significant difference from the established technique, but using a data collection task that is much quicker and less arduous for users to perform. We conclude by recommending the use of our new haptic stimulus set and evaluation technique as a powerful and viable means of extending the use of haptic icons to larger sets.

Demand-based Scheduling of Mixed-Criticality Sporadic Tasks on One Processor

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Operating Systems (cs.OS)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Strategies that artificially tighten high-criticality task deadlines in low-criticality behaviors have been successfully employed for scheduling mixed-criticality systems. Although efficient scheduling algorithms have been developed for implicit deadline task systems, the same is not true for more general sporadic tasks. In this paper we develop a new demand-based schedulability test for such general mixed-criticality task systems, in which we collectively bound the low- and high-criticality demand of tasks. We show that the new test strictly dominates the only other known demand-based test for such systems. We also propose a new deadline tightening strategy based on this test, and show through simulations that the strategy significantly outperforms all known scheduling algorithms for a variety of sporadic task systems.

Dazu wurden Gruppen gebildet: Jeweils die Eltern, die Klassenlehrperson und der/die Schulische Heilpädagoge/in eines Kindes wurden in qualitativen Interviews befragt. Die Leitfadeninterviews wurden transkribiert und mithilfe eines Kategoriensystems ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen hilfreiche Faktoren für die Zusammenarbeit wie Grundwissen der Lehrpersonen über Kulturen, Erreichbarkeit, Bedeutung informeller Kontakte und Einbezug der Eltern in Entscheidungsprozesse. Ohne die Ausbildung interkultureller Beratungskompetenzen der Lehrpersonen besteht die Gefahr von Vorurteilen und Zuschreibungen.

title: Organized Crime: An Ethnographic study of the monitoring and disrupting of those designated as high-level ‘organized criminals’ within the Metropolitan Police
Creators: name: Hutton, Sarah K
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: This is an ethnographic study conducted over an 18-month period by the researcher who is a serving detective constable, working as part of a project aimed at reducing ‘top tier’ organized criminal behaviour in the MPS. The research was an exploration of how organized criminals are defined, particularly during disruption panels aimed at measuring law enforcement successes. The study examines the process by which ancillary orders are obtained at court; tools designed to restrict organized criminal activity. The study aimed to critically assess the wider monitoring process, looking at whether disruptions to offenders’ activities can be seen as durable or effective; whether ‘Lifetime Offender Management’ is successful in implementing changes in their offending behaviour. This has been set against a backdrop of literature which provides a historical context of how organized crime has come to be defined in a hierarchical fashion, that is overly focused on individuals rather than activities. It discusses how unhelpful this is as a paradigm against which to compare British organized crime. The study highlights more appropriate ‘business models’ of organized criminal offending. Within this, comparisons are made with regard to different criminals’ varying ability to launder money, versus those that operate on a more hand to mouth level. A critical look is taken at the way the disruption panels fail to make any distinction between these behaviours, as well as the way police culture informs the process of labelling organized criminals. This is by virtue of its adherence to anachronistic and outmoded models of organized criminal offending, resulting in an undue focus on certain offences and a failure to appreciate the evolving nature of the field. A gap in the literature and research is highlighted when it comes to organized crime prevention, particularly where ‘disruptions’ are concerned, presenting increased opportunities for this type of research.
Hard rod gas with long-range interactions: Exact predictions for hydrodynamic properties of continuum systems from discrete models

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: One-dimensional hard rod gases are explicitly constructed as the limits of discrete systems: exclusion processes involving particles of arbitrary length. Those continuum many-body systems in general do not exhibit the same hydrodynamic properties as the underlying discrete models. Considering as examples a hard rod gas with additional long-range interaction and the generalized asymmetric exclusion process for extended particles ($\ell$-ASEP), it is shown how a correspondence between continuous and discrete systems must be established instead. This opens up a new possibility to exactly predict the hydrodynamic behaviour of this continuum system under Eulerian scaling by solving its discrete counterpart with analytical or numerical tools. As an illustration, simulations of the totally asymmetric exclusion process ($\ell$-TASEP) are compared to analytical solutions of the model and applied to the corresponding hard rod gas. The case of short-range interaction is treated separately.

description: Quark nuggets are theoretical objects composed of approximately equal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks. They are also called strangelets, nuclearites, AQNs, slets, Macros, and MQNs. Quark nuggets are a candidate for dark matter, which has been a mystery for decades despite constituting ${\sim}85\%$ of matter. Most previous models of quark nuggets have assumed no intrinsic magnetic field; however, Tatsumi found that quark nuggets may exist in magnetars as a ferromagnetic liquid with a magnetic field between $10^{ 11}$ T and $10^{ 13}$ T. We apply that result to quark nuggets, a dark-matter candidate consistent with the Standard Model, and report results of analytic calculations and simulations that show they spin up and emit electromagnetic radiation at ${\sim}10^{ 4}$ Hz to ${\sim}10^{ 9}$ Hz after passage through planetary environments. The results depend strongly on the value of $B_{o}$, which is a parameter to guide and interpret observations. A proposed sensor system with three satellites at 51,000 km altitude illustrates the feasibility of using radio-frequency emissions to detect 0.003 to 1600 MQNs, depending on Bo, during a five year mission.

description: In theories with large extra dimensions, we study the top spin correlations at the Large Hadron Collider. The s-channel process mediated by graviton Kaluza-Klein modes contributes to the top-antitop pair production in addition to the Standard Model processes, and affects the resultant top spin correlations. We calculated the full density matrix for the top-antitop pair production. With the fundamental scale of the extra dimensional theory below 2 TeV, we find a sizable deviation of the top spin correlations from the Standard Model one.

description: Les politiques publiques de soutien à l'innovation encouragent le plus souvent l'activité de recherche-développement, grâce à des outils tels que le crédit d'impôt recherche ou les grands programmes technologiques. De tels outils semblent bien adaptés dans des secteurs où l'innovation est fondée sur la science. En revanche, dans un secteur comme l'agro-alimentaire, la R&D est distribuée entre plusieurs acteurs publics et privés. Le nombre de firmes qui ont une structure formelle et permanente de R&D est faible. Les PME de l'agro-alimentaire bénéficient-elles des externalités de la recherche publique pour innover? L'objectif de cet article est d'évaluer dans quelle mesure les PME qui ne font pas de recherche bénéficient des externalités de la R&D publique. Mieux comprendre les mécanismes de l'innovation dans les secteurs faiblement intensifs en recherche permet de concevoir des politiques de soutien à l'innovation adaptées. Il montre que les externalités en provenance de la recherche publique existent même si les firmes ont une capacité d'absorption réduite.

description: Kinder wachsen in einem digitalen Zeitalter auf, wodurch sie schon sehr früh mit Technik und den verschiedensten Technologien in Berührung kommen. Digitale Lernspiele greifen dieses Wissen von Kindern auf, um den Kindern das Lernen zu erleichtern und einen Spaßfaktor hinzuzufügen. Bisher entwickelte Lernspiele sehen das Kind jedoch nicht als Designpartner und Experten ihrer eigenen Bedürfnisse und Fähigkeiten an, sondern als Endtester, die ein fertiges Lernspiel vorgesetzt bekommen. In dieser Arbeit soll das Thema, sowie die präferierten Technologien für das Lernspiel von den Kindern selbst gewählt werden. Kinder sind sich jedoch meist nicht bewusst über ihre Wünsche und Bedürfnisse bezüglich Interesse und mögliche Eingabegeräte, geschweige denn diese klar auszudrücken. Das Interesse und die gewünschte Technologie der Kinder wird aus diesem Grund in dieser Arbeit über Cultural Probe und Technology Probe eruiert. Diese beiden Methoden werden mit (Video-)Beobachtungen ergänzt und führen auch zu Erkenntnissen über die bildliche Darstellung von Abbildungen. Aufbauend auf den daraus resultierenden Ergebnissen wird ein Lernspiel-Prototyp für Kleinkinder im Alter von 4 - 6 Jahren erstellt und im Anschluss mit den Kindern getestet, evaluiert und analysiert.
description: Children grow up in a digital era, making them accustomed to be surrounded by technologies and to interact with them. Educational games build upon children-s technology knowledge to simplify learning for children and add a fun factor. Up to now, educational games do not consider children as design partners and experts of their own needs and skills. Instead, they are considered as end users and test the finished educational game. In this master thesis the topic as well as the technology for the educational game should be chosen by children. Children are usually not aware of their wishes and needs regarding interests and possible input devices, let alone able to express them. Hence, in this thesis children-s interest and their preferred technology are determined by cultural probe and technology probe. Both methods are supplemented by (video) observations and guide to findings regarding visual form of representation. Based on these results an educational game-prototype for children aged between 4 and 6 was created, followed by user tests with children, evaluation and analysis.

description: We present results from Chandra X-ray imaging and spectroscopy of a flux-limited sample of flat spectrum radio-emitting quasars with jet-like extended structure. Twelve of twenty quasar jets are detected in 5 ks ACIS-S exposures. The quasars without X-ray jets are not significantly different from those in the sample with detected jets except that the extended radio emission is generally fainter. New radio maps are combined with the X-ray images in order to elucidate the relation between radio and X-ray emission in spatially resolved structures. We find a variety of morphologies, including long straight jets and bends up to 90 degrees. All X-ray jets are one-sided although the radio images used for source selection often show lobes opposite the X-ray jets. The FR II X-ray jets can all be interpreted as inverse Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background photons by electrons in large-scale relativistic jets although deeper observations are required to test this interpretation in detail. Applying this interpretation to the jets as a population, we find that the jets would be aligned to within 30 degrees of the line of sight generally, assuming that the bulk Lorentz factor of the jets is 10.

description: We have performed a detailed study of the pulsational and evolutionary characteristics of 133 RR Lyrae stars in the globular cluster NGC5272 (M3) using highly accurate BVI data taken on 5 separate epochs. M3 seems to contain no less than ~32% of Blazhko stars, and the occurrence and characteristics of the Blazhko effect have been analyzed in detail. We have identified a good number (~ 14%) of overluminous RR Lyrae stars that are likely in a more advanced evolutionary stage off the Zero Age Horizontal Branch (ZAHB). Physical parameters (i.e. temperature, luminosity, mass) have been derived from (B--V) colors and accurate color-temperature calibration, and compared with Horizontal Branch evolutionary models and with the requirements of stellar pulsation theory. Additional analysis by means of Fourier decomposition of the V light curves confirms, as expected, that no metallicity spread is present in M3. Evolution off the ZAHB does not affect [Fe/H] determinations, whereas Blazhko stars at low amplitude phase do affect [Fe/H] distributions as they appear more metal-rich. Absolute magnitudes derived from Fourier coefficients might provide useful average estimates for groups of stars, if applicable, but do not give reliable {\em individual} values. Intrinsic colors derived from Fourier coefficients show significant discrepancies with the observed ones, hence the resulting temperatures and temperature-related parameters are unreliable.

description: Mixed-Criticality (MC) systems consolidate multiple functionalities with different criticalities onto a single hardware platform. Such systems improve the overall resource utilization while guaranteeing resources to critical tasks. In this paper, we focus on the problem of partitioned multiprocessor MC scheduling, in particular the problem of designing efficient partitioning strategies. We develop two new partitioning strategies based on the principle of evenly distributing the difference between total high-critical utilization and total low-critical utilization for the critical tasks among all processors. By balancing this difference, we are able to reduce the pessimism in uniprocessor MC schedulability tests that are applied on each processor, thus improving overall schedulability. To evaluate the schedulability performance of the proposed strategies, we compare them against existing partitioned algorithms using extensive experiments. We show that the proposed strategies are effective with both dynamic-priority Earliest Deadline First with Virtual Deadlines (EDF-VD) and fixed-priority Adaptive Mixed-Criticality (AMC) algorithms. Specifically, our results show that the proposed strategies improve schedulability by as much as 28.1% and 36.2% for implicit and constrained-deadline task systems respectively.

Multiscale Analysis of the Stress State in a Granular Slope in Transition to Failure

description: By means of contact dynamics simulations, we analyze the stress state in a granular bed slowly tilted towards its angle of repose. An increasingly large number of grains are overloaded in the sense that they are found to carry a stress ratio above the Coulomb yield threshold of the whole packing. Using this property, we introduce a coarse-graining length scale at which all stress ratios are below the packing yield threshold. We show that this length increases with the slope angle and jumps to a length comparable to the depth of the granular bed at an angle below the angle of repose. This transition coincides with the onset of dilatation in the packing. We map this transition into a percolation transition of the overloaded grains, and we argue that in the presence of long-range correlations above the transition angle, the granular slope is metastable.

Solving reachable sets on a manifold

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: First, this thesis explores the implementation of the fast marching method as part of the toolbox of level set methods. This method uses Dijkstra's algorithm to approximate the solution to the non-linear Eikonal equation. Functions for calculating signed distances and extension velocities are also implemented. These functions use the fast marching method in their implementation. Second, it explores a method for computing reachable sets on a manifold; in other words, the dynamics governing these reachable sets can be described by a Differential Algebraic Equation. It uses level set methods to solve the underlying Hamilton Jacobi equation of the reachable set and it ensures an accurate solution on the manifold by using the closest point method. The closest point method guarantees that the reachable set is perpendicular to the manifold at the points of intersection. Several two and three dimensional toy problems and a real-life power generator problem are explored in order to test the method.

description: Cosmic rays are routinely measured at LOFAR, both with a dense array of antennas and with the LOFAR Radboud air shower Array (LORA) which is an array of plastic scintillators. In this paper, we present two results relating to the cosmic-ray energy scale of LOFAR. First, we present the reconstruction of cosmic-ray energy using radio and particle techniques along with a discussion of the event-by-event and absolute scale uncertainties. The resulting energies reconstructed with each method are shown to be in good agreement, and because the radio-based reconstructed energy has smaller uncertainty on an event-to-event basis, LOFAR analyses will use that technique in the future. Second, we present the radiation energy of air showers measured at LOFAR and demonstrate how radiation energy can be used to compare the energy scales of different experiments. The radiation energy scales quadratically with the electromagnetic energy in an air shower, which can in turn be related to the energy of the primary particle. Once the local magnetic field is accounted for, the radiation energy allows for a direct comparison between the LORA particle-based energy scale and that of the Pierre Auger Observatory. They are shown to agree to within (6$\pm$20)% for a radiation energy of 1 MeV, where the uncertainty on the comparison is dominated by the antenna calibrations of each experiment. This study motivates the development of a portable radio array which will be used to cross-calibrate the energy scales of different experiments using radiation energy and the same antennas, thereby significantly reducing the uncertainty on the comparison.

description: The DWF formulation becomes increasingly problematic at gauge couplings for which $a^{-1}<2$ GeV, where the roughness of the gauge field leads to increased explicit chiral symmetry breaking ($\mres$). This problem becomes especially severe for sufficiently strong coupling where the underlying 4-dimensional Wilson theory is in the Aoki phase. We review our attempts to find a suitable modification of the gauge and/or the fermion action which would allow the DWF method to work reliably at stronger coupling.

description: An excess of low-energy electronic recoil events over known backgrounds was recently observed in the XENON1T detector, where $285$ events are observed compared to an expected $232 \pm 15$ events from the background-only fit to the data in the energy range 1-7 keV. This could be due to the beta decay of an unexpected tritium component, or possibly to new physics. One plausible new physics explanation for the excess is absorption of hidden photon dark matter relics with mass around $2.8$ keV and kinetic mixing of about $10^{-15}$, which can also explain cooling excesses in horizontal-branch (HB) stars. Such small gauge boson masses and couplings can naturally arise from type-IIB low scale string theory. We provide a fit of the XENON1T excess in terms of a minimal low scale type-IIB string theory parameter space and present some benchmark points which provide a good fit to the data. It is also demonstrated how the required transformation properties of the massless spectrum are obtained in intersecting D-brane models.
