description:
Environmental signals produced by changes in climate or tectonic regime are transferred and modified through sedimentary systems from source to sink. Sediment (and therefore signal) transfer in segmented systems is interrupted through sediment storage in e.g. lacustrine sinks. The Alpine orogen is a mountain chain characterized by high denudation rates that sources important rivers such as the Rhine river. This study focuses on the Aare river, a tributary to the Rhine, that originates in the Swiss High Alps. The course of the present-day Aare river is controlled by an overdeepened valley carved during the Pleistocene glaciations, and segmented by several lakes. We present a provenance dataset based on detrital garnet geochemistry from modern river sands, Pleistocene deposits from drill core samples and river terraces, a Pliocene river terrace, and the Miocene Molasse bedrock. We show that before the Pleistocene, i.e. before valley incision, detritus was transferred directly from the High Alps to the Rhine river plain. After the incision in the Pleistocene, the Aare river recycled the incised local Molasse bedrock. Today, the Aare river is in turn recycling those Pleistocene river terraces as well as the local bedrock. First-cycle detritus from the High Alps is instead stored in man-made and natural lakes. Our data shows that the “erosional engine” of sedimentary systems changes drastically in response to geomorphic reorganizations, and that provenance analysis is a prerequisite to locate the sediment source, as well as the origin of any environmental signal produced in that source.

With a modest magnetic field applied $H \parallel c$-axis, we monitored the infrared signature of pair tunneling between the CuO$_2$ planes and discovered the complete suppression of interlayer coupling in a series of underdoped La214 single crystals. We find that the in-plane superconducting properties remain intact, in spite of enhanced magnetism in the planes.

description: Researchers invested enormous eforts to understand and mitigate the concerns of users as technologies collect their private data. However, users often undermine other people’s privacy when, e.g., posting other people’s photos online, granting mobile applications to access contacts, or using technologies that continuously sense the surrounding. Research to understand technology adoption and behaviors related to collecting and sharing data about non-users has been severely lacking. An essential step to progress in this direction is to identify and quantify factors that afect technology’s use. Toward this goal, we propose and validate a psychometric scale to measure how much an individual values other people’s privacy. We theoretically grounded the appropriateness and relevance of the construct and empirically demonstrated the scale’s internal consistency and validity. This scale will advance the feld by enabling researchers to predict behaviors, design adaptive privacy-enhancing technologies, and develop interventions to raise awareness and mitigate privacy risks.

description: Could a Data Management Plan (DMP) be a useful tool in scientific everyday life?

DMPs should document the handling of research data before, during and after the project period. Therefore, DMPs could be FAIR for the researchers and his/ her data management. Normally, templates for DMPs are questionnaires that guide the researcher in a structured way through the most important subjects of research data management. Essentially, they are based on the model of the research data lifecycle. This approach leads often to too generic templates. A disadvantage of generic templates is that they do not reveal the benefit of a DMP to the researcher. As a result, DMPs are perceived as too bureaucratic and extensive. Most researchers in Germany perceive DMPs only as an additional burden. Accordingly, they are hardly ever created on a voluntary basis; an intrinsic motivation, such as the improvement of the own research data management or research processes is usually lacking. To support the creation of DMPs with a tool, RWTH relies on the Research Data Management Organizer (RDMO), which is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

How can we make DMPs more attractive to the researchers and useful in scientific work?

At RWTH Aachen the creation of DMPs is recommended via its guidelines for research data management. Based on this background, RWTH offers its own DMP template with a focus on the natural sciences and technology. Although this template totally limits the areas and questions, but it is still too generic. In order to break up these generics, we adopt the approach of offering subject- and/ or institution-specific DMP templates. In order to develop the discipline-specific template, we started with the RDMO template and tried to reduce it for engineering science together with scientists in workshops. The product is a template which is mainly adapted to the helping texts and answering options

For an institute-specific adjustment, we organized an initial and concluding workshop with scientists from a research college. In the meantime of the two workshops, the scientists have answered 2-3 questions from each area of the life cycle every two weeks. The product is a short template with the for these scientists most important questions.

Our experiences show that there is quite a gap between the generic templates and specifically adapted templates. But, according to our knowledge, also the specifically adapted templates are not used regularly. What options are there to make the DMP concept useful for everyday work?
A Direct Reduction from k-Player to 2-Player Approximate Nash Equilibrium

description: We present a direct reduction from k-player games to 2-player games that preserves approximate Nash equilibrium. Previously, the computational equivalence of computing approximate Nash equilibrium in k-player and 2-player games was established via an indirect reduction. This included a sequence of works defining the complexity class PPAD, identifying complete problems for this class, showing that computing approximate Nash equilibrium for k-player games is in PPAD, and reducing a PPAD-complete problem to computing approximate Nash equilibrium for 2-player games. Our direct reduction makes no use of the concept of PPAD, thus eliminating some of the difficulties involved in following the known indirect reduction.

description: We consider time-dependence of dynamical transport, following a recent study of the stadium billiard in which classical transmission and reflection probabilities were shown to exhibit exponential or algebraic decay depending on the choice of the lead or "hole". The system considered here is much more general, having a generic mixed phase space structure, time-dependence of the dynamics, and Fermi acceleration (trajectories with unbounded velocity). We propose an efficient numerical scheme for this model, observe the asymmetric transport effect, and discuss observed stretched exponential decays.

description: We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the role of copolymer architecture in the self-assembly of binary PEO-PCL mixtures in water-THF, and show that altering the chain geometry and composition of the copolymers can control the form of the self-assembled structures and lead to the formation of novel aggregates. First, using transmission electron microscopy and turbidity measurements, we study a mixture of sphere-forming and lamella-forming PEO-PCL copolymers, and show that increasing the molecular weight of the lamella-former at a constant ratio of its hydrophilic and hydrophobic components leads to the formation of highly-curved structures even at low sphere-former concentrations. This result is explained using a simple argument based on the effective volumes of the two sections of the diblock and is reproduced in a coarse-grained mean-field model: self-consistent field theory (SCFT). Using further SCFT calculations, we study the distribution of the two copolymer species within the individual aggregates and discuss how this affects the self-assembled structures. We also investigate a binary mixture of lamella-formers of different molecular weights, and find that this system forms vesicles with a wall thickness intermediate to those of the vesicles formed by the two copolymers individually. This result is also reproduced using SCFT. Finally, a mixture of sphere-former and a copolymer with a large hydrophobic block is shown to form a range of structures, including novel elongated vesicles.

Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: Translationally cold and slow ND3 is prepared by filtering the slow molecules from a thermal gas-phase sample using a curved electrostatic hexapole guide. This filter, like the curved quadrupole guide introduced by Rempe et al. in 2003, selects molecules by their forward velocity and effective electric dipole moment. Here we describe two main modifications with respect to previous work: 1. A hexapole guide is used instead of a quadrupole, thus producing a harmonic potential for the linearly Stark-shifted levels of ND3. The curved guide is combined with a straight hexapole guide with independent high-voltage supplies to allow for band-pass velocity filtering. 2. State-selective laser ionization is used to obtain time- and state selective detection of the guided molecules. This enables the experimental determination of the rotational state population of the guided molecules.

Unmeasurable phenomenon : Native American students overrepresented in early school leaving but underrepresented in the data

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: American Indian students persistently have the highest dropout rates compared to all other racial and ethnic groups but we cannot describe educational pathways for this group due to problems with data. Lack of data for American Indian students is a primary obstacle facing researchers interested in tracking educational outcomes for these students. This dissertation explores connections between the U.S. government’s creation of colonial categories that produced American Indian identities and their lack of representation within educational data. Colonial efforts to remove the Indian from society has resulted in ongoing struggles over land, sovereignty and identity which has been informed by views of Indigenous inferiority and white superiority. This dissertation critically examines questions of Indigenous education and data sovereignty by considering U.S. governmental data and statistics that are publicly accessible to researchers interested in educational outcomes and in the underrepresentation of American Indian students within these data sets. It also examines Indigenous sovereignty over education through a case study of two Coast Salish tribes, the Lummi Nation and Swinomish Indian Tribal Community and their responses to a colonial educational system through the tribal curriculum, “Since Time Immemorial: Tribal Sovereignty in Washington State.” This initiative and other efforts to claim Indigenous sovereignty over education highlights what is missing from public education and what these tribes would like their students to learn.

description:
The Bromacker Project (https://bromacker.de/) investigates the paleoecology of the Early Permian vertebrate “Ursaurier” lagerstätte of the same name in the red beds of the Tambach Formation, Thuringia. Its geologic-paleontologic subproject aims to contribute key paleoenvironmental parameters such as temperature variation, precipitation estimates, paleoelevation, soil hydrology, detailed paleogeography, and depositional environments, based on sedimentology, paleoichnology, facies analysis, petrography, geochemistry, and precise depositional ages.

Two new deep research boreholes will complement information from shallow legacy boreholes and outcrops near the Bromacker excavation site. Forschungsbohrung (Fb) Altenbergen 01/2022, 3 km to the north, cored 250 m of the Tambach Formation and terminated in conglomerates (Bielstein Member) after having cored the topmost Finsterbergen Conglomerate Member and the Tambach Sandstone Member. Contacts between members in core are gradual but differences pronounced: The basal Bielstein Member is dominated by well-rounded intermediate volcanic clasts, in contrast to felsic volcanic clasts described from outcrops. Fossiliferous pelitic-arenaceous redbeds of the overlying Tambach Sandstone Member show all indications of floodplain facies, including mudcracks, variable burrowing, root horizons, calcareous paleosol concretions, climbing ripples, and common laminated siltstones. Conglomerates of the topmost Finsterbergen Member consist of subangular plutonic, metamorphic and (sub-)volcanic clasts. Several newly documented thin felsic tuffs may be datable. Geophysical logs suggest rhythmic deposition suitable for cyclostratigraphic analysis. Fb Gallberg 01/2023, located 2 km south of the Bromacker excavation site, will complement Fb Altenbergen. Information from both boreholes will contribute to a robust sedimentologic-stratigraphic frame for paleogeographic-paleoecologic analyses. A substantial education and outreach program accompanies excavation, drilling and core analysis.

description: We consider the use in quantum Monte Carlo calculations of two types of valence bond wave functions based on strictly localized active orbitals, namely valence bond self-consistent-field (VBSCF) and breathing-orbital valence bond (BOVB) wave functions. Complemented by a Jastrow factor, these Jastrow-Valence-Bond wave functions are tested by computing the equilibrium well depths of the four diatomic molecules C$_2$, N$_2$, O$_2$, and F$_2$ in both variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC). We show that it is possible to design compact wave functions based on chemical grounds that are capable of describing both static and dynamic electron correlation. These wave functions can be systematically improved by inclusion of valence bond structures corresponding to additional bonding patterns.

description: We present a deep learning approach for repairing sequential circuits against formal specifications given in linear-time temporal logic (LTL). Given a defective circuit and its formal specification, we train Transformer models to output circuits that satisfy the corresponding specification. We propose a separated hierarchical Transformer for multimodal representation learning of the formal specification and the circuit. We introduce a data generation algorithm that enables generalization to more complex specifications and out-of-distribution datasets. In addition, our proposed repair mechanism significantly improves the automated synthesis of circuits from LTL specifications with Transformers. It improves the state-of-the-art by 6.8 percentage points on held-out instances and 11.8 percentage points on an out-of-distribution dataset from the annual reactive synthesis competition.

description: We present a comprehensive study of vacancy and vacancy-impurity complexes in InN combining positron annihilation spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations. Positron densities and annihilation characteristics of common vacancy-type defects are calculated using density functional theory and the feasibility of their experimental detection and distinction with positron annihilation methods is discussed. The computational results are compared to positron lifetime and conventional as well as coincidence Doppler broadening measurements of several representative InN samples. The particular dominant vacancy-type positron traps are identified and their characteristic positron lifetimes, Doppler ratio curves and lineshape parameters determined. We find that In vacancies and their complexes with N vacancies or impurities act as efficient positron traps, inducing distinct changes in the annihilation parameters compared to the InN lattice. Neutral or positively charged N vacancies and pure N vacancy complexes on the other hand do not trap positrons. The predominantly introduced positron trap in irradiated InN is identified as the isolated In vacancy, while in as-grown InN layers In vacancies do not occur isolated but complexed with one or more N vacancies. The number of N vacancies per In vacancy in these complexes is found to increase from the near surface region towards the layer-substrate interface.

description:
The crystalline basement below the giant Norwegian Troll field has been subject to research and publication for many decades. Still no well bore has penetrated the deep crystalline basement. An ever-increasing amount of geophysical information, documents pronounced basement heterogeneity. The seismic reflection patterns suggest the presence of mappable fluid reservoirs within metamorphic basement rocks.

High-reflection-low-density geobodies appear to be connected to major detachment zones with varying seismicity, but avoiding younger transform lineaments. The features are considered to have formed during the collapse of the Caledonian mountains, opening the precursor basins of the North Sea and the Northern Atlantic Ocean. The structures are partly inherited from contractional features, formed during the Caledonian continental collision between Baltic and North American plates. Former and present-day fluid migration, using this inherited deformation pattern, is significant for understanding the development of one of the most important energy sources for Europe.

 While earlier speculations about origin and significance of the strong seismic reflections had to be based on presumed analogues on the Norwegian mainland, we will present evidence from new, high quality seismic, gravity, magnetic and magneto-telluric data and propose new working hypotheses for their geologic origin. Pointing to low density, low magnetism and low resistivity, our mapped „geo-bodies“, could form fluid reservoirs that have influenced the regional development of the Greater Troll area.

description: Most cryptographic protocols use cryptographic hash functions as a building block. The security analyses of these protocols typically assume that the hash functions are perfect (such as in the random oracle model). However, in practice, most widely deployed hash functions are far from perfect -- and as a result, the analysis may miss attacks that exploit the gap between the model and the actual hash function used.

We develop the first methodology to systematically discover attacks on security protocols that exploit weaknesses in widely deployed hash functions. We achieve this by revisiting the gap between theoretical properties of hash functions and the weaknesses of real-world hash functions, from which we develop a lattice of threat models. For all of these threat models, we develop fine-grained symbolic models.

Our methodology's fine-grained models cannot be directly encoded in existing state-of-the-art analysis tools by just using their equational reasoning. We therefore develop extensions for the two leading tools, Tamarin and Proverif. In extensive case studies using our methodology, the extended tools rediscover all attacks that were previously reported for these protocols and discover several new variants.

description: We report the result of a search for the rare decay B^0 -> gamma gamma in 426 fb-1 of data, corresponding to 226 million B^0 \bar{B}^0 pairs, collected on the Upsilon(4S) resonance at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider using the BABAR detector. We use a maximum likelihood fit to extract the signal yield and observe 21^{+13}_{-12} signal events with statistical significance of 1.9 sigma. This corresponds to a branching fraction B(B^0 -> gamma gamma) = (1.7 +- 1.1(stat.) +- 0.2(syst.)) x 10^-7. Based on this result, we set a 90% confidence level upper limit of B(B^0 -> gamma gamma) < 3.3 x 10^-7.

description: Most cryptographic protocols use cryptographic hash functions as a building block. The security analyses of these protocols typically assume that the hash functions are perfect (such as in the random oracle model). However, in practice, most widely deployed hash functions are far from perfect -- and as a result, the analysis may miss attacks that exploit the gap between the model and the actual hash function used.

We develop the first methodology to systematically discover attacks on security protocols that exploit weaknesses in widely deployed hash functions. We achieve this by revisiting the gap between theoretical properties of hash functions and the weaknesses of real-world hash functions, from which we develop a lattice of threat models. For all of these threat models, we develop fine-grained symbolic models.

Our methodology's fine-grained models cannot be directly encoded in existing state-of-the-art analysis tools by just using their equational reasoning. We therefore develop extensions for the two leading tools, Tamarin and Proverif. In extensive case studies using our methodology, the extended tools rediscover all attacks that were previously reported for these protocols and discover several new variants.
title: Stress and coping in families caring for children with severe mental handicap
Creators: name: Quine, Lyn
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: The thesis presents a longitudinal study of a representative sample from two health districts of 200 children with severe mental handicap and their families. The broad aim of the study was to investigate the impact on family functioning of caring at home for a child with mental handicap. We adopt a life-span perspective. First, the skills, behaviour and abilities of the children were assessed at school or social education centre by trained interviewers who questioned the teacher or care assistant who knew each child best. Secondly, the person responsible for the day-to-day care of the child (usually the mother) was interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Three years later, 178 children were reassessed and their carers reinterviewed. The study examines key points in the child’s and family’s life cycle. We discuss parents’ reactions to and satisfaction with the way the news of the handicapping condition was first given; the child, family and social factors associated with caring for a young handicapped child which make mothers vulnerable to stress; the effects on family functioning; and the impact on the parents’ marriage. We investigate the child, environmental and social correlates of child behaviour problems and present a longitudinal analysis showing the antecedent risk factors for poor outcome. We examine sleep disturbance, a particularly stressful aspect of child behaviour, and show that poor communication skills play a critical role in the development of disturbed sleeping patterns. We present a longitudinal analysis of maternal stress and coping, identifying the child variables and coping resources which predict change in maternal stress over time. Finally, we focus on the transition to adult life of the teenagers in our sample, examining the differences between them and the younger children, the particular concerns of their mothers, and the preparation given at schools and social education centres in the development of skills for independent living. Throughout the thesis we draw attention to both theoretical and practical issues.

description: The Hyades stream has long been thought to be a dispersed vestige of the Hyades cluster. However, recent analyses of the parallax distribution, of the mass function, and of the action-space distribution of stream stars have shown it to be rather composed of orbits trapped at a resonance of a density disturbance. This resonant scenario should leave a clearly different signature in the element abundances of stream stars than the dispersed cluster scenario, since the Hyades cluster is chemically homogeneous. Here, we study the metalllicty as well as the element abundances of Li, Na, Mg, Fe, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, and Eu for a random sample of stars belonging to the Hyades stream, and compare them with those of stars from the Hyades cluster. From this analysis: (i) we independently confirm that the Hyades stream cannot be solely composed of stars originating in the Hyades cluster; (ii) we show that some stars from the Hyades stream nevertheless have abundances compatible with an origin in the cluster; (iii) we emphasize that the use of Li as a chemical tag of the cluster origin of main-sequence stars is very efficient in the range 5500 - 6200 K, since the Li sequence in the Hyades cluster is very tight; (iv) we show that, while this evaporated population has a metallicity excess of ~0.2 dex w.r.t. the local thin disk population, identical to that of the Hyades cluster, the remainder of the Hyades stream population has still a metallicity excess of ~0.06 to 0.15 dex, consistent with an origin in the inner Galaxy; (v) we show that the Hyades stream can be interpreted as an inner 4:1 resonance of the spiral pattern: this then also reproduces an orbital family compatible with the Sirius stream, and places the origin of the Hyades stream up to 1 kpc inwards from the solar radius, which might explain the observed metallicity excess of the stream population.
description: Accepted by MNRAS; v2 differs from v1 regarding the method used for tagging stars evaporated from the cluster. Removing Nd (which possibly shows a trend with Teff) from the delta index used to compare abundances in cluster and stream stars leaves only two evaporated cluster stars (HD 149028 and HD 162808), in agreement with the Li tagging. HD 108351 is not any longer considered as evaporated

Modelling and simulation of chiral and non-chiral nematic liquid crystals between cylinders
Creators: name: Nikzad, Arash
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Liquid crystallinity defines a state between a crystal solid and a liquid. Liquid Crystal (LC) molecules have the flowing properties of liquids while they keep the orientational order of solids with no positional order. To study the characteristics of disc-like LCs, initially, an analytical method to calculate the viscosity coefficients and rheological properties of discotic nematic liquid crystals (DNLCs) was proposed. The method was illustrated on nematic Graphene oxide (GO) dispersions, the most processable graphene derivative, as an example of DNLCs. GO dispersions have attracted enormous attention due to their unique liquid crystal (LC) characteristics. In the second step, the calculated Landau and Leslie viscosity coefficients were implemented in the Ericksen-Leslie (EL) theory to simulate the flow of GO dispersions. GO aqueous suspensions, with a concentration range of 15 mg/mL to 30 mg/mL, were simulated as a lubricant between two cylinders with a small gap size, which is the preliminary geometry for journal bearings. The anisotropic feature of LCs leads to a preferred direction of the molecules close to the solid surfaces, making them an outstanding candidate for the lubrication problem. Flow properties of GO dispersions at different concentrations were calculated numerically using the EL theory and compared with the respective theoretical values, which were within 1% error. Lastly, the Landau-de Gennes theory was applied to investigate the behaviour of chiral liquid crystals (CLCs) between concentric and eccentric cylinders under different flow conditions. This theory was implemented using dynamic finite element simulations (COMSOL Multiphysics) to solve the evolution of the microstructure of CLCs and coupled with a linear momentum balance equation to capture the structure of CLCs. This section focused on the microstructure formation of CLCs and their performance as lubricants under various chirality strengths (θ), Deborah numbers (De), and eccentricity of eccentric cylinders. The hexagonal structure of the CLCs at low De, where the chiral term predominates, was observed, while at higher De, the hexagonal pattern vanished. The eccentricity ratio impact on the performance of CLCs was also considered, and it was concluded that CLCs as lubricants perform well at high θ and eccentricity and low De.

description: As observers of the universe we are physical systems within it. If the universe is very large in space and/or time, the probability becomes significant that the data on which we base predictions is replicated at other locations in spacetime. Predictions of our future observations therefore require an assumed probability distribution---the xerographic distribution---for our location among the possible ones. It is the combination of basic theory plus the xerographic distribution that can be predictive and testable by further observations. This is illustrated by examining a toy model of a classical deterministic universe with a fixed flat metric.
