description: Artificial intelligence is changing and will continue to change the world we live in. These changes are also influencing the translation market. Machine translation (MT) systems automatically transfer one language to another within seconds. However, MT systems are very often still not capable of producing perfect translations. To achieve high quality translations, the MT output first has to be corrected by a professional translator. This procedure is called post-editing (PE). PE has become an established task on the professional translation market. The aim of this text book is to provide basic knowledge about the most relevant topics in professional PE. The text book comprises ten chapters on both theoretical and practical aspects including topics like MT approaches and development, guidelines, integration into CAT tools, risks in PE, data security, practical decisions in the PE process, competences for PE, and new job profiles.
Observations of the Blandford-Znajek and the MHD Penrose processes in computer simulations of black hole magnetospheres

description: In this paper we report the results of axisymmetric relativistic MHD simulations for the problem of Kerr black hole immersed into a rarefied plasma with ''uniform'' magnetic field. The long term solution shows properties which are significantly different from those of the initial transient phase studied recently by Koide(2003). The topology of magnetic field lines within the ergosphere is similar to that of the split-monopole model with a strong current sheet in the equatorial plane. Closer inspection reveals a system of isolated magnetic islands inside the sheet and ongoing magnetic reconnection. No regions of negative hydrodynamic ''energy at infinity'' are seen inside the ergosphere and the so-called MHD Penrose process does not operate. Yet, the rotational energy of the black hole continues to be extracted via purely electromagnetic mechanism of Blandford and Znajek(1977). However, this is not followed by development of strong relativistic outflows from the black hole. Combined with results of other recent simulations this signals a potential problem for the standard MHD model of relativistic astrophysical jets should they still be observed at distances as small as few tens of gravitational radii from the central black hole.

Experimental investigations on the syntax and usage of fragments

Subjects: subject: fragments
subject: syntax

subject: 400 Sprache::410 Linguistik::410 Linguistik

description: This book investigates the syntax and usage of fragments (Morgan 1973), apparently subsentential utterances like "A coffee, please!" which fulfill the same communicative function as the corresponding full sentence "I'd like to have a coffee, please!". Even though such utterances are frequently used, they challenge the central role that has been attributed to the notion of sentence in linguistic theory, particularly from a semantic perspective. The first part of the book is dedicated to the syntactic analysis of fragments, which is investigated with experimental methods. Currently there are several competing theoretical analyses of fragments, which rely almost only on introspective data. The experiments presented in this book constitute a first systematic evaluation of some of their crucial predictions and, taken together, support an in situ ellipsis account of fragments, as has been suggested by Reich (2007). The second part of the book addresses the questions of why fragments are used at all, and under which circumstances they are preferred over complete sentences. Syntactic accounts impose licensing conditions on fragments, but they do not explain, why fragments are sometimes (dis)preferred provided that their usage is licensed. This book proposes an information-theoretic account of fragments, which predicts that the usage of fragments in constrained by a general tendency to distribute processing effort uniformly across the utterance. With respect to fragments, this leads to two predictions, which are empirically confirmed: Speakers tend towards omitting predictable words and they insert additional redundancy before unpredictable words.

description: Drawing appropriate diagrams is a useful problem solving heuristic that can transform a problem into a representation that is easier to exploit for solving it. One major focus while helping introductory physics students learn effective problem solving is to help them understand that drawing diagrams can facilitate problem solution. We conducted an investigation in which two different interventions were implemented during recitation quizzes in a large enrollment algebra-based introductory physics course. Students were either (i) asked to solve problems in which the diagrams were drawn for them or (ii) explicitly told to draw a diagram. A comparison group was not given any instruction regarding diagrams. We developed rubrics to score the problem solving performance of students in different intervention groups and investigated ten problems. We found that students who were provided diagrams never performed better and actually performed worse than the other students on three problems, one involving standing sound waves in a tube (discussed elsewhere) and two problems in electricity which we focus on here. These two problems were the only problems in electricity that involved considerations of initial and final conditions, which may partly account for why students provided with diagrams performed significantly worse than students who were not provided with diagrams. In order to explore potential reasons for this finding, we conducted interviews with students and found that some students provided with diagrams may have spent less time on the conceptual analysis and planning stage of the problem solving process. In particular, those provided with the diagram were more likely to jump into the implementation stage of problem solving early without fully analyzing and understanding the problem, which can increase the likelihood of mistakes in solutions.

description: The papers in this volume were presented at the 50th Annual Conference on African Linguistics held at the University of British Columbia in 2019. The contributions span a range of theoretical topics as well as topics in descriptive and applied linguistics. The papers reflect the typological and genetic diversity of languages in Africa and also represent the breadth of the ACAL community, with papers from both students and more senior scholars, based in North America and beyond. They thus provide a snapshot on current research in African linguistics, from multiple perspectives. To mark the 50th anniversary of the conference, the volume editors reminisce, in the introductory chapter, about their memorable ACALs.

description: In the near future, collaborative robots (cobots) are expected to play a vital role in the manufacturing and automation sectors. It is predicted that workers will work side by side in collaboration with cobots to surpass fully automated factories. In this regard, physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) aims to develop natural communication between the partners to bring speed, flexibility, and ergonomics to the execution of complex manufacturing tasks. One challenge in pHRI is to design an optimal interaction controller to balance the limitations introduced by the contradicting nature of transparency and stability requirements. In this paper, a general methodology to design an admittance controller for a pHRI system is developed by considering the stability and transparency objectives. In our approach, collaborative robot constrains the movement of human operator to help with a pHRI task while an augmented reality (AR) interface informs the operator about its phases. To this end, dynamical characterization of the collaborative robot (LBR IIWA 7 R800, KUKA Inc.) is presented first. Then, the stability and transparency analyses for our pHRI task involving collaborative drilling with this robot are reported. A range of allowable parameters for the admittance controller is determined by superimposing the stability and transparency graphs. Finally, three different sets of parameters are selected from the allowable range and the effect of admittance controllers utilizing these parameter sets on the task performance is investigated.

description: Instruction is unlikely to be effective if instructors do not know the common alternate conceptions of introductory physics students and explicitly take into account common student difficulties in their instructional design. Here, we discuss research involving the Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM) to evaluate one aspect of the pedagogical content knowledge of teaching assistants (TAs): knowledge of introductory students' alternate conceptions in electricity and magnetism as revealed by the CSEM. For each item on the CSEM, the TAs were asked to identify the most common incorrect answer choice selected by introductory physics students if they did not know the correct answer after traditional instruction. Then, we used introductory student CSEM post-test data to assess the extent to which TAs were able to identify the most common alternate conception of introductory students in each question on the CSEM. We find that the TAs were thoughtful when attempting to identify common student difficulties and they enjoyed learning about student difficulties this way. However, they struggled to identify many common difficulties of introductory students that persist after traditional instruction. We discuss specific alternate conceptions that persist after traditional instruction, the extent to which TAs were able to identify them, and results from think-aloud interviews with TAs which provided valuable information regarding why the TAs sometimes selected certain alternate conceptions as the most common but were instead very rare among introductory students. We also discuss how tasks such as the one used in this study can be used in professional development programs to engender productive discussions about the importance of being knowledgeable about student alternate conceptions in order to help students learn.

description: From the Wheeler-Dewitt solutions, the scale factor of the initial universe is discussed. In this study, scale factors from Wheeler-Dewitt solutions, loop quantum gravity, and phantom energy dominated stages are compared. Certain modifications have been attempted in scale factor and quantum potentials driven by canonical quantum gravity approaches. Their results are discussed in this work. Despite an increment of phantom energy density, avoidance of Big Rip is reported. Scale factors predicted from various models are discussed in this work. The relationship between scale factors and the smooth continuation of Aeon is discussed by the application of conformal cyclic cosmology. Quantum potentials for various models are correlated and a correction parameter is included in the cosmological constant. Phantom energy dominated, final stage non-singular evolution of the universe is found. Eternal increment of phantom energy density without interacting with dark matter is reported for the consequence of the evolution of the future universe. Also, the non-interacting solutions of phantom energy and dark matter are explained. As the evolution continues even after the final singularity is approached, the validity of conformal cyclic cosmology is predicted. Non zero values for the scale factor for the set of eigenvalues are presented. Results are compared with supersymmetric classical cosmology. The non-interacting solutions are compared with SiBI solutions

description: An YBCO-based test structure corresponding to the family of ReRAM devices associated with the valence change mechanism is presented. We have characterized its electrical response previous to its lift-off to a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) using standard electronics and also with the dedicated LabOSat-01 controller. Similar results were obtained in both cases. After about 200 days at LEO on board a small satellite, electrical tests started on the memory device using the LabOSat-01 controller. We discuss the results of the first 150 tests, performed along a 433-day time interval in space. The memory device remained operational despite the hostile conditions that involved launching, lift-off vibrations, permanent thermal cycling and exposure to ionizing radiation, with doses 3 orders of magnitude greater than the usual ones on Earth. The device showed resistive switching and IV characteristics similar to those measured on Earth, although with changes that follow a smooth drift in time. A detailed study of the electrical transport mechanisms, based on previous models that indicate the existence of various conducting mechanisms through the metal-YBCO interface showed that the observed drift can be associated with a local temperature drift at the LabOSat controller, with no clear evidence that allows determining changes in the underlying microscopic factors. These results show the reliability of complex-oxide non-volatile ReRAM-based devices in order to operate under all the hostile conditions encountered in space-borne applications.

description: We report on a method by which we can systematically extract spectroscopic information such as isotropic electron-nuclear hyperfine coupling constants from near-zero field magnetoresistance spectra. The method utilizes a least squares fitting of models developed from the stochastic quantum Liouville equation. We applied our fitting algorithm to two distinct material systems: Si/SiO2 MOSFETs, and a-Si:H MIS capacitors. Our fitted results and hyperfine parameters are in reasonable agreement with existing knowledge of the defects present in the systems. Our work indicates that the NZFMR response and fitting of the NZFMR spectrum via models developed from the stochastic quantum Liouville equation could be a relatively simple yet powerful addition to the family of spin-based techniques used to explore the chemical and structural nature of point defects in semiconductor devices and insulators.

description: A small-scale meat packing plant selling lambs and steers in northern New Mexico was analyzed in three Monte Carlo simulations. The monthly distributions of steer liveweights and prices at the feedlot were fit and the parameters estimated. The distributions were correlated between liveweights and prices each month and between all monthly prices. An annual distribution of lamb liveweights was also fit. The three simulations assumed that retail prices of beef in northern New Mexico were comparable to the national average, minimum and maximum weighted prices. If minimum national beef prices are used, there is a better than 50 percent probability that net profits will be negative every month except June-September. In January-May and November, there is a greater than 90 percent chance that net profits before taxes will be negative. When maximum prices are used there is a slight chance that net profits before taxes will be negative.

description: Whilst there is a growing literature of computable general equilibrium (CGE) studies examining the impacts of the current Doha Proposals, estimates for the EU are highly aggregated (i.e., EU15). Employing a detailed baseline scenario and a plausible Doha outcome, we examine the long run costs for the European Union, in particular focusing on Spain. Moreover, we implement recent CAP reforms through explicitly modelling of CAP mechanisms to provide greater credibility in assessing the long run asymmetric budgetary and welfare impacts on EU member states. Our estimates forecast resource substitution effects between Spanish agro-food sectors and resource shifts from agro-food activities into manufacturing and services production. In Spain, the impacts of proposed Amber box reductions on fishing subsidies and the relatively smaller GDP contribution result in negative CAP budgetary impacts on regional income. In contrast, France, Germany and the UK all realise small real income gains. Abstract. Los estudios de equilibrio general (EG) que examinan el impacto de las propuestas de la Ronda Doha se han centrado en la Unión Europea (UE) como un agregado. Partiendo de un escenario base detallado y un resultado plausible de las negociaciones de Doha, se examinan los costes a largo plazo para la UE, con especial énfasis en España. Se examinan además, las recientes reformas de la PAC para proporcionar una mayor credibilidad a la estimación de los efectos presupuestarios y sobre el bienestar de los países miembros. En España, el modelo predice una reorientación de los recursos desde el sector agro-alimentario hacia el manufacturero y de servicios. Asimismo, el impacto de la reducción en la caja Ámbar sobre los susbsidios a la pesca y la relativamente menor contribución al PIB conducen a impactos negativos del presupuesto de la PAC sobre la renta regional. Por el contrario, Francia, Alemania y el Reino Unido se benefician de pequeñas ganancias reales en renta. Palabras Claves: Ronda de Doha, España, UE, PAC, Equilibrio General.

Palabras clave: leche, calidad, genética, multi-output, función distancia. Abstract In this paper we analyze the influence of genetics on milk quality. For that purpose, we use a multi-output production model in which milk quality is included as an additional output in milk production. A distance function is used to estimate empirically the contribution of genetics to milk quality. For that purpose, we use a panel data of 96 dairy farms in Asturias. This dataset contains indexes measuring the genetic traits of the herd.

description: We present the results of an investigation of post-Main Sequence mass loss from stars in clusters in the Magellanic Clouds, based around an imaging survey in the L'-band (3.8 micron) performed with the VLT at ESO. The data are complemented with JHKs and mid-IR photometry. The goal is to determine the influence of initial metallicity and initial mass on the mass loss and evolution during the latest stages of stellar evolution. Dust-enshrouded giants are identified by their reddened near-IR colours and thermal-IR dust excess emission. Most of these objects are Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) carbon stars in intermediate-age clusters, with progenitor masses between 1.3 and about 5 Msun. Red supergiants with circumstellar dust envelopes are found in young clusters, and have progenitor masses between 13 and 20 Msun. Post-AGB objects (e.g., Planetary Nebulae) and massive stars with detached envelopes and/or hot central stars are found in several clusters. We model the spectral energy distributions of the cluster IR objects to estimate their bolometric luminosities and mass-loss rates. The IR objects are the most luminous cluster objects, and have luminosities as expected for their initial mass and metallicity. They experience mass-loss rates in the range from a few 1e-6 up to 1e-4 Msun/yr (or more), with most of the spread being due to evolutionary effects and only a weak dependence on progenitor mass and/or initial metallicity. About half of the mass lost by 1.3--3 Msun stars is shed during the superwind phase, which lasts of order 1e5 yr. Objects with detached shells are found to have experienced the highest mass-loss rates, and are therefore interpreted as post-superwind objects. We also propose a simple method to measure the cluster mass from L'-band images.

title: Within-group consequences of the risk and occurrence of between-group conflict in crested macaques (Macaca nigra)
Creators: name: Waterman, J
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2021

description: Groups of animals often compete over resources, such as territory, food, or mates, which are critical for survival. Successful groups tend to be those in which individuals cooperate effectively, and thus intergroup competition is thought to exert a selective pressure favouring the evolution of behavioural traits that promote intragroup affiliation. However, no cohesive pattern has emerged to describe the effect of intergroup conflict (IGC) on intragroup social behaviour. Furthermore, because most studies focus on intragroup behaviour during or immediately after conflict, we know relatively little about how groups perceive and respond to the risk of encountering rivals. Here, I investigate the function of intragroup behaviour in response to the threat and occurrence of IGC in three wild crested macaque (Macaca nigra) social groups. I use relative risk maps based on the timing and locations of intergroup encounters (IGEs) in conjunction with behavioural observations to test predictions that changes in intragroup behaviour function to increase social cohesion. Group spread, behavioural synchrony, and pre- and post-encounter focal observation data indicate that crested macaques remember the frequency, location, and outcome of previous IGEs: Also, that individuals in dominant and subordinate groups may perceive encounters differently. However, I found no evidence that intragroup behaviour functions to promote cohesion. Rather, my results indicate that both pre- and post-conflict behaviour functions primarily to minimise individual costs and reduce physiological anxiety. Rather than collective action being impeded by the lack of cohesion-enhancing behaviours, I suggest that this population may not need them in the context of IGC. These findings raise the possibility that (a) when food resources are abundant and mating access is easily monopolised, not all groups that engage in IGC have something worth fighting for, and (b) that we need to find ways of incorporating this into future models of intergroup hostility.

description: A large effort has been made to detect warm gas in the planet formation zone of circumstellar discs using space and ground-based near infrared facilities. GV Tau N, the most obscured component of the GV Tau system, is an outstanding source, being one of the first targets detected in HCN and the only one detected in CH$_4$ so far. Although near infrared observations have shed light on its chemical content, the physical structure and kinematics of the circumstellar matter remained unknown. We use interferometric images of the HCN 3-2 and $^{13}$CO 3-2 lines, and far-IR observations of $^{13}$CO, HCN, CN and H$_2$O transitions to discern the morphology, kinematics, and chemistry of the dense gas close to the star. These observations constitute the first detection of H$_2$O towards GV Tau N. Moreover, ALMA high spatial resolution (~ 7 au) images of the continuum at 1.1 mm and the HCN 3-2 line resolve different gas components towards GV Tau N, a gaseous disc with R~25 au, an ionized jet, and one (or two) molecular outflows. The asymmetric morphology of the gaseous disc shows that it has been eroded by the jet. All observations can be explained if GV Tau N is binary, and the primary component has a highly inclined individual disc relative to the circumbinary disc. We discuss the origin of the water and the other molecules emission according to this scenario. In particular, we propose that the water emission would come from the disrupted gaseous disc and the molecular outflows.

description: Induced charge-density (ICD) oscillations at the Cu(111) surface caused by an external impurity are studied within linear response theory. The calculation takes into account such properties of the Cu(111) surface electronic structure as an energy gap for three-dimensional (3D) bulk electrons and a $s-p_z$ surface state that forms two-dimensional (2D) electron system. It is demonstrated that the coexistence of these 2D and 3D electron systems has profound impact on the ICD in the surface region. In the case of a static impurity the characteristic ICD oscillations with the $1/ρ^2$ decay as a function of lateral distance, $ρ$, are established in both electron systems. For the impurity with a periodically time-varying potential, the novel dominant ICD oscillations which fall off like $\sim1/ρ$ are predicted.

description: In a recent paper \cite{Radu}, Radu \textit{et al.} report experimental results they claim to support Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons in Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$. It is true that an experimentally measured critical power law scaling exponent in agreement with the BEC universality class would support the realization of a BEC in magnetic systems that order as a canted antiferromagnet. It can be shown, however, that the claim of Radu {\it et al.} is overstated in this instance, because their determination of the critical exponent $ϕ$ relies on a model-dependent theoretical approximation to the critical field $H_{\textrm{c1}}$ for which the associated errors are neglected. We show that when these errors are included, the uncertainty in the obtained exponent is so large that the available experimental data cannot be used to differentiate between contending universality classes.

description: Foundations of the Poincaré-gauge theory of gravity are developed. It is shown that the Poincaré-gauge field consists of two components: the translational gauge field ($t$-field), which is generated by the energy-momentum current of external fields, and the rotational gauge field ($r$-field), which is generated by the sum of the angular and spin momentum currents of external fields. Therefore, a physical field generated by the angular momentum of a rotating mass should exist.

description: The Emissions Trading scheme now (January 2003) in prospect in the European Union is likely to be the first trans-national greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme in the world. With the participation of the European Economic Area [EEA] countries and with the forthcoming EU enlargement, 30 countries could be involved in this scheme by 2012. Under European Union law, the European Commission is responsible for making proposals, which are then decided upon by the Council of Ministers - on a 'qualified majority' basis in this case - representing the 15 Member State governments, and the European Parliament. In the case of this Directive, the Commission prepared its initial proposals, which have then been scrutinised by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers. The objective of this work is to provide an assessment of the EU Emissions Trading Directive as agreed by the Council of Ministers. The agreement was reached looking at both, the characteristics and potential of this scheme. For some of the issues, there is theory and evidence to support the case made. For others, the absence of evidence means that intuition is called upon. Resumen La Directiva de Comercio de Emisiones (Enero 2003) aprobada por la Unión Europea constituye, probablemente, el primer esquema de Intercambio de Permisos de Emisión, para gases de efectos invernadero de carácter transnacional, que se va a poner en marcha en el mundo. Con la participación de los países del Área Económica Europea, y con la próxima ampliación de la UE, los países que estarán implicados en el esquema llegarán a 30 el año 2012. Es bien conocido que el reparto de competencias en Europa implica que es la Comisión la responsable de llevar a cabo las propuestas que posteriormente pueden ser aceptadas o rechazadas en el Consejo de Ministros en base a una "mayoría cualificada" (dependiendo del tipo de decisión) y por el Parlamento Europeo. El objetivo de este trabajo es el de llevar a cabo un juicio acerca de la Directiva sobre Intercambio de Derechos de Emisión de la UE tal y como fue aprobada por el Consejo. El acuerdo se alcanzó teniendo en cuenta, tanto las características como el potencial del esquema. Para algunos de los aspectos contenidos en la Directiva existe tanto teoría como evidencia que puede apoyar la decisión adoptada. Para otros, sin embargo, la ausencia de evidencia implica que fue la intuición la que predominó a la hora de tomar la decisión. Palabras clave: comercio de emisiones, directiva, Europa

description: En este trabajo se realiza un análisis comparado de dos métodos no paramétricos de medida de productividad total de los factores con datos de panel basados en programación: índices de Malmquist y un modelo DEA intertemporal que permite acotar las medidas de eficiencia y progreso técnico, suponiendo cambio técnico no regresivo. La aplicación se realiza sobre las agriculturas de los países de la Unión Europea, encontrándose algunas diferencias importantes entre ambos enfoques. Los resultados sugieren menor crecimiento de productividad agraria y, sobre todo, una ordenación distinta de países en relación con dichos crecimientos que los encontrados en otros trabajos. Palabras clave: Productividad, DEA, Agricultura, Europa, Datos de panel. SUMMARY This paper compares two non-parametric programming techniques for the measurement of total factor productivity using panel data: Malmquist indices and an intertemporal-DEA model that allows the calculation of technology and efficiency levels bounds, assuming non-regressive technical change. Both methodologies are applied to the analysis of agricultural productivity in the European Union countries, and several important divergences between models are found. The results suggest lower productivity increases in agriculture than those found in recent literature, with different country ranking concerning productivity growth.
