description: This article summarizes some of the open questions in the field of active matter that have emerged during Active20, a nine-week program held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) in Spring 2020. The article does not provide a review of the field, but rather a personal view of the authors, informed by contributions of all participants, on new directions in active matter research. The topics highlighted include: the ubiquitous occurrence of spontaneous flows and active turbulence and the theoretical and experimental challenges associated with controlling and harnessing such flows; the role of motile topological defects in ordered states of active matter and their possible biological relevance; the emergence of non-reciprocal effective interactions and the role of chirality in active systems and their intriguing connections to non-Hermitian quantum mechanics; the progress towards a formulation of the thermodynamics of active systems thanks to the feedback between theory and experiments; the impact of the active matter framework on our understanding of the emergent mechanics of biological tissue. These seemingly diverse phenomena all stem from the defining property of active matter - assemblies of self-driven entities that individually break time-reversal symmetry and collectively organize in a rich variety of nonequilibrium states.

Linked Data

description: The Linked Open Ogham Data Project is a project created and applied by the Research Squirrel Engineers Network since 2019. The project received funding from the Open Science Fellows Program 2020/21 of Wikimedia Deutschland. Ogham stones are Early Mediaeval stones inscribed with the Ogham script created between the 6th and 9th centuries AD. Linked Open Ogham Data primarily aims at the digitisation and publication of the analogue Ogham stone catalogues “Corpus inscriptionum Insularum Celticarum” (CIIC) by Macalister, “A Guide to Ogam” by D. MacManus, as well as the online databases “CISP” and “Ogham in 3D”. This is done by using semantic modelling and techniques of Linked Open Data (LOD) to create a huge Knowledge Graph. Ogham Stones, their sites and distribution have always geospatial components which serves as central nodes. This presentation gives an overview on the semantic modelling of Irish Ogham Stones, especially on geospatial information using the W3C GeoSPARQL standard, as well as the community hub Wikidata. Moreover, workflows and little tools (as known as Little Minions) to create, update and query the data will be introduced. Furthermore, the data will be analysed using the SPARQLing Unicorn QGIS Plugin, an Open Source plugin for QGIS.

Superconducting Supercomputers and Quantum Computation

description: Information technologies have been developing at a formidable pace. While miniaturization has been the driver for this in the past decades (Moore's law), the attention is now focusing to the energy consumption. Already a considerable fraction of the worlds' energy use is in information technologies. Also, the on-chip energy dissipation and concomittant high temperatures form a bottleneck in further speeding up processors. For these reasons a great interest exist in the exploration of new computing paradigms. In my presentation, I will introduce two of such paradigms and discuss their current progress and prospects, namely superconducting 'RSQF' circuitry and quantum-computation. Both technologies require (ultra)-low temperatures, providing interesting challenges for cryogenic engineering.

description: To improve the viewer's Quality of Experience (QoE) and optimize computer graphics applications, 3D model quality assessment (3D-QA) has become an important task in the multimedia area. Point cloud and mesh are the two most widely used digital representation formats of 3D models, the visual quality of which is quite sensitive to lossy operations like simplification and compression. Therefore, many related studies such as point cloud quality assessment (PCQA) and mesh quality assessment (MQA) have been carried out to measure the visual quality degradations of 3D models. However, a large part of previous studies utilize full-reference (FR) metrics, which indicates they can not predict the quality level with the absence of the reference 3D model. Furthermore, few 3D-QA metrics consider color information, which significantly restricts their effectiveness and scope of application. In this paper, we propose a no-reference (NR) quality assessment metric for colored 3D models represented by both point cloud and mesh. First, we project the 3D models from 3D space into quality-related geometry and color feature domains. Then, the 3D natural scene statistics (3D-NSS) and entropy are utilized to extract quality-aware features. Finally, machine learning is employed to regress the quality-aware features into visual quality scores. Our method is validated on the colored point cloud quality assessment database (SJTU-PCQA), the Waterloo point cloud assessment database (WPC), and the colored mesh quality assessment database (CMDM). The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms most compared NR 3D-QA metrics with competitive computational resources and greatly reduces the performance gap with the state-of-the-art FR 3D-QA metrics. The code of the proposed model is publicly available now to facilitate further research.
Frege's ontology and the problems of the third realm

description: In this thesis, I investigate Gottlob Frege's philosophy, particularly his conception of thoughts as existing in a "third realm" separate from the physical world and independent of human minds. I begin with an exegisis of Frege's philosophy, examine the interpretations of Michael Dummett and Joan Weiner, and finally adjudicate between their differing conceptions of Frege's thought. In conclusion, I find that Frege's third realm is a metaphysical entity, yet one which serves a useful purpose of providing an ontological grounding for the expression of assertoric sentences.

description: Discrete time-crystals are periodically driven quantum many-body systems with broken discrete-time translational symmetry, a non-equilibrium steady state representing self-organization of motion of quantum particles. Observations of discrete time-crystalline order are currently limited to magneto-optical experiments. Crucially, it was never observed in a transport experiment performed on systems connected to external electrodes. Here we demonstrate that both discrete time-crystal and quasi-crystal survive a very general class of environment corresponding to single-particle gain and loss through system-electrode coupling over experimentally relevant timescales. Using dynamical symmetries, we analytically identify the conditions for observing time-crystalline behavior in a periodically driven open Fermi-Hubbard chain attached to electrodes. Remarkably, the spin-polarized transport current directly manifests the existence of a time-crystalline behavior. Our findings are verifiable in present-day experiments with quantum-dot arrays and Fermionic ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices.

The danger in being happy
Creators: name: Scarton, Dana Jo
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This original memoir traces the life of the author from adolescence to adulthood. The narrative revolves around one central loss--the mother's death from breast cancer when the author was sixteen. This loss takes on greater significance when the author's younger sister is diagnosed with the same disease sixteen years later and the author becomes one of the primary caretakers. Her sister's illness causes the author to both relive and reexamine her primary loss, and to try to understand how it has affected her socially, sexually, and emotionally. She comes to see the ways she has clung to the past--by chasing after mother surrogates, by overeating, by avoiding sex, by paying attention to everyone's life but her own. In fact, she comes to realize that she has not claimed an adult life because it is somehow threatening. Happiness as an adult means giving up the safety of childhood.

description: Er$^{3+}$$:$Y$_2$SiO$_5$ is a material of particular interest due to its suitability for telecom-band quantum memories and quantum transducers interfacing optical communication with quantum computers working in the microwave regime. Extending the coherence lifetimes of the electron spins and the nuclear spins is essential for implementing efficient quantum information processing based on such hybrid electron-nuclear spin systems. The electron spin coherence time of Er$^{3+}$$:$Y$_2$SiO$_5$ is so far limited to several microseconds, and there are significant challenges in optimizing coherence lifetimes simultaneously for both the electron and nuclear spins. Here we perform a pulsed-electron-nuclear-double-resonance investigation for an Er$^{3+}$-doped material at subkelvin temperatures. At the lowest working temperature, the electron spin coherence time reaches 290 $\pm$ 17 $μ$s, which has been enhanced by 40 times compared with the previous results. In the subkelvin regime, a rapid increase in the nuclear spin coherence time is observed, and the longest coherence time of 738 $\pm$ 6 $μ$s is obtained. These extended coherence lifetimes could be valuable resources for further applications of Er$^{3+}$$:$Y$_2$SiO$_5$ in fiber-based quantum networks.

subject: Dance and dance studies

description: At the end of the twentieth century, technology is changing at an explosive pace, changing with it the form and content of artistic expression. Nowhere is this connection more apparent than in the dance art of Merce Cunningham. In an attempt to gain insight into his creative process, his work with dance, film, video, and computer animation is traced from the early 1960s to the present. Resources consisted of textual and video materials as well as a first-hand study of the techniques of film, video shooting, editing, production, and computer-aided choreography. Cunningham's approach to choreography is seen to be changing constantly to accommodate the constraints as well as possibilities of emerging technological media, from the near-documentary Story (1964) to the virtual choreography of Hand-drawn Spaces (1998), which exists in cyber-space. The following pieces were studied in depth: Story (1964), Westbeth (1974), Locale (1979), Points in Space (1986), and Trackers (1991).

description: When wind blows over water, ripples are generated on the water surface. These ripples can be regarded as perturbations of the wind field, which is modelled as a parallel inviscid flow. For a given wavenumber $k$, the perturbed streamfunction of the wind field and the complex phase speed are the eigenfunction and the eigenvalue of the so-called Rayleigh equation in a semi-infinite domain. Because of the small air-water density ratio, $ρ_{\rm{a}}/ρ_{\rm{w}}\equivε<<1$, the wind and the ripples are weakly coupled, and the eigenvalue problem can be solved perturbatively. At the leading order, the eigenvalue is equal to the phase speed $c_0$ of surface waves. At order $ε$, the eigenvalue has a finite imaginary part, which implies growth. Miles (1957) showed that the growth rate is proportional to the square modulus of the leading-order eigenfunction evaluated at the so-called critical level $z=z_c$, where the wind speed is equal to $c_0$ and the waves extract energy from the wind. Here, we construct uniform asymptotic approximations of the leading-order eigenfunction for long waves, which we use to calculate the growth rate as a function of $k$. In the strong wind limit, we find that the fastest growing wave is such that the aerodynamic pressure is in phase with the wave slope. The results are confirmed numerically.

description: Examining the success and sustainability of museums in the Arab Middle East post-September 11th, the analysis focuses on why the Middle East selected museums to establish or improve their soft power, to spur urban regeneration, and to diversify their economies through tourism. In order to make conclusions on the new Middle Eastern museums, this paper discusses what the projects are, and who was involved in them and in the partnerships that developed. It looks at how they were developed and what issues arose in construction. The research is contextualized by analysis of the art market and the impact of the economic or political situation on these projects. The findings are gathered within the context of all the above and through critical analysis, dialogue with experts and personal insights from years of study of the region. The findings conclude that success is determined by three factors: audience, industry and environment.

description: For geometric systems of real principal type, we define a subprincipal symbol and derive a transport equation for polarizations which, in the scalar case, is a well-known equation of Duistermaat and Hörmander. We apply the transport equation to propagation of polarization in transmission problems of elastodynamics, to interior bulk waves as well as to free (Rayleigh) surface waves. Using spectral factorizations of matrix polynomials having real spectrum, we establish reflection and refraction laws of polarizations at the boundary and at interior interfaces. The results are not limited to isotropic elasticity.

description: This study is an examination of the strategic planning process undertaken in 1999 at The Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, D.C., a large complex of national museums and scientific and cultural research centers. Smithsonian leaders hope that the strategic planning process will help serve as a guide to the future. Through interviews and research in primary and secondary sources, this study examines The Smithsonian Institution's strategic plan, focusing on how it was developed, and how it is being implemented. The Smithsonian's planning process is compared to other planning modalities in the public and private sectors. This study concludes that The Smithsonian Institution used a combination of emergent and formal approaches to strategic planning. Currently, The Smithsonian Institution has yet to develop a fully integrated planning program.
Classical Risk-Averse Control for a Finite-Horizon Borel Model

description: We study a risk-averse optimal control problem for a finite-horizon Borel model, where a cumulative cost is assessed via exponential utility. The setting permits non-linear dynamics, non-quadratic costs, and continuous state and control spaces but is less general than the problem of optimizing an expected utility. Our contribution is to show the existence of an optimal risk-averse controller without using state space augmentation and therefore offer a simpler solution method from first principles compared to what is currently available in the literature.

Year: 2024
Subjects: Calanga, Case Study

description: This report was done due to the trainning  in EMP 2024, held in Ghana. It is refered to the Off- Grid Requalification Project in Calanga, Mozambique.

For the Study area characterization in terms of present demand and future energy consumption was used the Microgridspy. 

For moddeling the case study area were done projections for two scenarios. The first one adding appliances and the second assuming an annual increasing growth of 4% of the population. 

As a result of modelling it was possible to reach to the diary energy consumption and the power peak for each scenario, and found the best technology in order to reduce the operational costs and reduce consequentily the costs of energy in Mozambique.
The impact of cognitive restructuring and distraction on repeated hyperventilation among college students
Creators: name: Marin, Nancy Watt
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Cognitive and behavioral treatments for anxiety disorders often involve repeated interoceptive exposure (repeated exposure to physical sensations characteristic of anxiety). While exposure is an effective technique, it is unclear whether adding a cognitive component to this procedure increases its effectiveness. To determine the most effective mechanism for reducing anxiety, the present study examined both cognitive and behavioral explanations of the psychological mechanisms of interoceptive exposure. Specifically, subjects (N = 88) underwent repeated hyperventilation in one of four conditions: hyperventilation alone, hyperventilation with a distraction task, hyperventilation with delayed cognitive restructuring (method of challenging catastrophic thoughts used between trials), and hyperventilation with concurrent cognitive restructuring (challenging catastrophic thoughts while hyperventilating). As expected, subjects taught to restructure their catastrophic cognitions during hyperventilation decreased their anxiety level significantly more than did individuals who relied on habituation alone, distraction or cognitive restructuring between trials. Contrary to expectations, however, there was no evidence that brief, interoceptive exposure resulted in a decrease in anxious symptoms. These results provide support for the idea that adding a cognitive component to repeat exposure increases its utility in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Überschuldungsursachen Und Schuldenberatung In Der Sozialarbeit

description: Immer mehr Menschen überschulden sich. Dieses Massenphänomen ist bekannt, nicht jedoch, warum dem so ist. Die Autorin untersucht die Ursachen von Überschuldung und wie eine professionelle Schuldenberatung in der Sozialarbeit damit umgehen soll. Dies erfolgt anhand bereits bekannter Studien, Gesprächen mit Experten auf diesem Gebiet und Interviews mit ehemaligen überschuldeten Klientinnen und Klienten. Sie kommt zum Schluss, dass Überschuldung oft aus einer Kombination von Armut und finanzieller Einkommensknappheit, Konsumismus und Süchten jeglicher Art, Krisen und mangelhaften finanziellen Kompetenzen beziehungsweise fehlendem Wissen resultiert. Da Sozialarbeitende viele überschuldete Klientinnen und Klienten mit knappen finanziellen Mitteln beraten, ist es wichtig, dass sie Überschuldung auch als Strategie zur Bewältigung des Alltags mit knappen Finanzen akzeptieren. Ausserdem wird in der bestehenden Wirtschaftsordnung gefordert und gefördert, dass Menschen konsumieren und sich überschulden. Die aktuelle Gesetzgebung lässt dies auch zu. Deshalb sollen Klientinnen und Klienten nicht nur ungeachtet der Hintergründe ihrer Überschuldung zur Sparsamkeit diszipliniert werden. Ebenso wichtig ist, ihnen Verschuldungskompetenzen zu vermitteln und mit ihnen neben der Bearbeitung der Überschuldung auch Ziele zur Förderung ihrer Lebensqualität zu erarbeiten. Ausserdem gehört es zu den Aufgaben von Sozialarbeitenden, auf die Verteilungsungerechtigkeit aufmerksam zu machen, sich dagegen zu engagieren und sich für bessere Bedingungen für überschuldete Menschen einzusetzen.

Winning the Ransomware Lottery: A Game-Theoretic Model for Mitigating Ransomware Attacks

description: Ransomware is a growing threat to individuals and enterprises alike, constituting a major factor in cyber insurance and in the security planning of every organization. Although the game theoretic lens often frames the game as a competition between equals -- a profit maximizing attacker and a loss minimizing defender -- the reality of many situations is that ransomware organizations are not playing a non-cooperative game, they are playing a lottery. The wanton behavior of attackers creates a situation where many victims are hit more than once by ransomware operators, sometimes even by the same group. If defenders wish to combat malware, they must then seek to remove the incentives of it. In this work, we construct an expected value model based on data from actual ransomware attacks and identify three variables: the value of payments, the cost of an attack, and the probability of payment. Using this model, we consider the potential to manipulate these variables to reduce the profit motive associated with ransomware attack. Based on the model, we present mitigations to encourage an environment that is hostile to ransomware operators. In particular, we find that off-site backups and government incentives for their adoption are the most fruitful avenue for combating ransomware.
