description: During the entire war, warring powers used the “secret war” to try to break the balance of the battlefield. Generally created in the previous few decades, intelligence and security services saw strong development during the war: the warring sides were committed to espionage behind enemy lines and in the neutral countries, but also performed other tasks such as tapping radio communication; sabotage; counterintelligence; and propaganda. The secret war was also fought in the mind, as all warring societies were consumed by spy mania, and began to recognize their own spies as true heroes and heroines.

description: The extra-European theatres of World War I have received far less scholarly attention than the war in Europe. This state of affairs is hardly surprising given the sheer magnitude of the Western Front experience. Still, the violence of 1914-1918 also had profound consequences outside of Europe as well. This essay explores the relationship between extra-European theatres of war and Europe’s battlefields, with the primary goal of showing how peoples from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East have been rendered largely invisible in popular understandings of the war’s course and outcomes. Second, this essay argues for understanding campaigns fought in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East on their own terms, and not simply as “sideshows” to the war in Europe.

description: We compute spectra of sample auto-covariance matrices of second order stationary stochastic processes. We look at a limit in which both the matrix dimension $N$ and the sample size $M$ used to define empirical averages diverge, with their ratio $α=N/M$ kept fixed. We find a remarkable scaling relation which expresses the spectral density $ρ(λ)$ of sample auto-covariance matrices for processes with dynamical correlations as a continuous superposition of appropriately rescaled copies of the spectral density $ρ^{(0)}_α(λ)$ for a sequence of uncorrelated random variables. The rescaling factors are given by the Fourier transform $\hat C(q)$ of the auto-covariance function of the stochastic process. We also obtain a closed-form approximation for the scaling function $ρ^{(0)}_α(λ)$. This depends on the shape parameter $α$, but is otherwise universal: it is independent of the details of the underlying random variables, provided only they have finite variance. Our results are corroborated by numerical simulations using auto-regressive processes.

description: This article examines cinema in relation to the First World War in Belgium from two focal points. First, it describes how film production as well as film exhibition and cinema-going became cultural and economic battlefields in the war years, with the local and occupying authorities fighting for control over the industry, its finances and audiences. Second, the representations of the war in post-war Belgian cinema are explored against the background of the concepts of cultural mobilization and demobilization. The cinematic images of the war are considered from a cultural-historical perspective, and post-war cinema is established as a particular site of memory. The article reflects the ''status quaestionis'' of current research in the field and indicates interesting online and offline sources and archives.

description: The diet of most people in Indochina during World War I was influenced more by climate and crop yields than by the war itself. Due to increased trade within Asia, the French colony did not suffer much wartime economic pain. However, the specific content of the colony’s food supply was affected by the war and the decline in shipments of goods from Europe. People in Indochina had to substitute locally available foods for the imports they had enjoyed before the war. Additionally, wives of French troops - especially Asian wives - faced reduced living standards once their husbands were mobilized to Europe.

description: We consider local martingales $M$ with jumps larger than $a$ for some $a$ larger than or equal to -1, and prove Novikov-type criteria for the corresponding exponential local martingale to be a uniformly integrable martingale. We obtain criteria using both the quadratic variation and the predictable quadratic variation. We prove optimality of the coefficients in the criteria. As a corollary, we obtain a verbatim extension of the classical Novikov criterion for continuous local martingales to the case of local martingales with nonnegative jumps.

description: China’s attempt to participate in the European war was complicated by domestic turbulence. Japan’s bid for supremacy in China compelled President Yuan Shikai to propose the Twenty-one Demands in 1915, and after Yuan’s death, there were two governments in China, one in Beijing and one in Guangzhou. Moreover, the friction between President Li Yuanhong and Prime Minister Duan Qirui deepened the rivalry between government and Parliament. The different political parties who supported the policy to participate in the war, including the Kuomintang members of the parliament, sided with Li, while the Chun-pu Tang, or Progressive Party, sided with Duan. After Duan’s return to power in July 1917, the country remained divided. Duan’s government was too distracted by internal strife to garner support for China’s participation in the European war. However, for most Chinese politicians, the best way to take advantage of the European war was to promote China internationally, a goal which garnered a common consensus across the political spectrum. Working towards a new China in the postwar period became a great dream for many.

description: Warming polar waters are leading to the decline of sea-ice and the expansion of subarctic species towards higher latitudes. Northward fish movement is shifting the fate of environmental pollutants in Arctic trophic webs. Here I measure contaminant concentrations for total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg), and a range of legacy organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in mesopelagic and demersal fish in the Labrador Sea and the Canadian Arctic collected between 2016 and 2021. Muscle tissue samples were collected from three pelagic fish species (Arctic cod [Boreogadus saida], capelin [Mallotus villosus], glacier lanternfish [Benthosema glaciale]) and three demersal fish (abyssal grenadier [Coryphaenoides armatus], blue hake [Antimora rostrata], and Greenland halibut [Reinhardtius hippoglossoides]). The objectives were to determine (1) how contaminant concentrations in pelagic and demersal fish vary spatially across the Canadian Arctic and subarctic regions; and (2) how ecology (measured from stable isotope ratios of δ15N and δ13C) and habitat (pelagic and demersal) influence contaminant concentrations in these fish species. Hg concentrations were best explained by species, trophic level, area, and habitat, while OCP concentrations were explained by species, trophic level, and habitat. These findings can be used to predict future contaminant concentrations in Arctic trophic food webs given climate-driven ecological changes.

The old controversies of Edwardian politics were replaced by new debates about military strategy, civil-military relations and the capacity of the state to mobilize the nation for “total war.” The traditional structures of party politics began to buckle as new fault lines emerged within parties, and shifting coalitions were formed and broken between them. In just four years, the war witnessed the destruction of Britain’s last Liberal government, a Conservative resurgence after almost a decade in Opposition and the opening up of new political horizons for the Labour Party.

description: This paper is the continuation of our earlier paper, where we proved t^{1/3}-order of current fluctuations across the characteristics in a class of one dimensional interacting systems with one conserved quantity. We also claimed two models with concave hydrodynamic flux which satisfied the assumptions which made our proof work. In the present note we show that the totally asymmetric exponential bricklayers process also satisfies these assumptions. Hence this is the first example with convex hydrodynamics of a model with t^{1/3}-order current fluctuations across the characteristics. As such, it further supports the idea of universality regarding this scaling.

Design-driven quadrangulation of closed 3D curves
Creators: name: Wang, Caoyu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This work presents a novel, design-driven quadrangulating method for closed 3D curves. While the quadrangulation of existing surfaces has been well studied for a long time, there are few works that can successfully construct a quad-mesh relying solely on 3D curves, as the shape of the surface interior is not uniquely defined. I observe that, in most cases, viewers can complete the intended shape by envisioning a dense network of smooth, gradually changing flow-lines across a pair of input curve segments with similar orientation and shape. The method proposed here mimics this behavior. This algorithm begins by segmenting the input closed curves into pairs of matching segments. I interpolate the input curves by a network of quadrilateral cycles whose iso-lines define the desired flow line network. I proceed to interpolate these networks with all-quad meshes that convey designer intents. I evaluate my results by showing convincing quadrangulations of complex and diverse curve networks with concave, non-planar cycles, and validate my approach by comparing my results to artist generated interpolating meshes. My algorithm is suitable for use in sketch-based modeling systems as well as in other applications where artist curves can be created.

First, antagonistic cultures of recollection until 1934 will be mentioned; second, the prevailing nostalgia and “backward Habsburg reason of state” as an “Austrian ideology”; third a partial break with the traditional military history particularly since the 1960s; and eventually, the improvement of international cooperation, theoretical and methodological standards.

Statistical Learning Theory of Quasi-Regular Cases

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Many learning machines such as normal mixtures and layered neural networks are not regular but singular statistical models, because the map from a parameter to a probability distribution is not one-to-one. The conventional statistical asymptotic theory can not be applied to such learning machines because the likelihood function can not be approximated by any normal distribution. Recently, new statistical theory has been established based on algebraic geometry and it was clarified that the generalization and training errors are determined by two birational invariants, the real log canonical threshold and the singular fluctuation. However, their concrete values are left unknown. In the present paper, we propose a new concept, a quasi-regular case in statistical learning theory. A quasi-regular case is not a regular case but a singular case, however, it has the same property as a regular case. In fact, we prove that, in a quasi-regular case, two birational invariants are equal to each other, resulting that the symmetry of the generalization and training errors holds. Moreover, the concrete values of two birational invariants are explicitly obtained, the quasi-regular case is useful to study statistical learning theory.

Phase slip centers in a two-band superconducting filament: application to MgB2

description: Within the framework of non-stationary Ginzburg-Landau equations generalized on a case of two order parameters, we investigated dynamic characteristics of two-band superconducting MgB2 filaments in a voltage-driven regime. We calculated current-voltage characteristics of superconducting MgB2 filaments with different lengths and compared with single-band superconductor of corresponding sizes. Despite the presence of two interacting bands for small values of a ratio of effective Cooper pairs weights, phenomenological constants of diffusion and large lengths of channels the well-known S-form of current-voltage characteristic for the single-band superconductor with fluctuations of the current density in a certain interval of the voltage also takes place in the case of two-band superconductor. Analysis of spectra of the current density and the time-evolution of order parameters for long channels points out that such unusual forms of current-voltage characteristics are caused by the occurrence either chaotic oscillations of order parameters modules or the interference of some their oscillation modes. The further increase of the ratio of effective weights of Cooper pairs and phenomenological constants of diffusion smoothes these oscillations and transforms the system in an ordered state, where the S-form of current-voltage characteristics becomes more flattened. The latter can be the feature of two-band superconducting long channels.

description: Aggregator websites typically present documents in the form of representative clusters. In order for users to get a broader perspective,it is important to deliver a diversified set of representative documents in those clusters. One approach to diversification is to maximize the average dissimilarity among documents. Another way to capture diversity is to avoid showing several documents from the same category (e.g. from the same news channel). We model the latter approach as a (partition) matroid constraint, and study diversity maximization problems under matroid constraints. We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for this problem,using a new technique. Our local search 0:5-approximation algorithm is also the first constant-factor approximation for the maxdispersion problem under matroid constraints. Our combinatorial proof technique for maximizing diversity under matroid constraints uses the existence of a family of Latin squares which may also be of independent interest. In order to apply these diversity maximization algorithms in the context of aggregator websites and as a preprocessing step for our diversity maximization tool, we develop greedy clustering algorithms that maximize weighted coverage of a predefined set of topics. Our algorithms are based on computing a set of cluster centers, where clusters are formed around them. We show the better performance of our algorithms for diversity and coverage maximization by running experiments on real (Twitter) and synthetic data in the context of real-time search over micro-posts. Finally we perform a user study validating our algorithms and diversity metrics.
Application of Genetic Algorithm on Quality Graded Networks for Intelligent Routing

description: In the past decade, significant research has been carried out for realizing intelligent network routing using advertisement, position and near-optimum node selection schemes. In this paper, a grade-based two-level node selection method along with genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed for realizing an efficient routing scheme. This method assumes that the nodes are intelligent and that there exists a knowledge base about the environment in their local memory. There are two levels for approaching the effective route selection process through grading. At the first level, grade-based selection is applied and at the second level, the optimum path is explored using GA. The simulation has been carried out on different topological structures, and a significant reduction in time is achieved for determining the optimal path through this method compared to the non-graded networks.

description: Analysing harvested seeds is a time-consuming task in the seed-producing industry. Automating this process has the potential to enhance and expedite agricultural seed production. In our study, we focus on differentiating Canola seeds from visually similar non-Canola seeds using computer vision techniques. Our approach utilises both RGB and hyperspectral images, captured by a specialised camera, to train separate autoencoder neural networks. By leveraging the high spatial resolution of RGB data and the high spectral resolution of hyperspectral data, we develop distinct models for Canola seed analysis, ensuring a comprehensive and robust assessment. The autoencoder networks are trained on a dataset of Canola seeds, allowing for the extraction of latent representations from both RGB and hyperspectral data. This enables efficient compression of input data and effective discrimination between Canola and non-Canola seeds. Our proposed approach demonstrates promising results in detecting non-Canola seeds in unseen test data.
Effectiveness of Teaching Metamorphic Testing

description: This paper is an attempt to understand the effectiveness of teaching metamorphic properties in a senior/graduate software engineering course classroom environment through gauging the success achieved by students in identifying these properties on the basis of the lectures and materials provided in class. The main findings were: (1) most of the students either misunderstood what metamorphic properties are or fell short of identifying all the metamorphic properties in their respective projects, (2) most of the students that were successful in finding all the metamorphic properties in their respective projects had incorporated certain arithmetic rules into their project logic, and (3) most of the properties identified were numerical metamorphic properties. A possible reason for this could be that the two relevant lectures given in class cited examples of metamorphic properties that were based on numerical properties. Based on the findings of the case study, pertinent suggestions were made in order to improve the impact of lectures provided for Metamorphic Testing.

description: In the supersymmetric grand unified theories (SUSY GUTs), gauge bosons associated with the unified gauge group induce proton decay. We investigate the proton decay rate via the gauge bosons in the SUSY GUTs under the two situations; one is with extra vector-like multiplets, and the other is with heavy sfermions. It is found that the proton lifetime is significantly reduced in the former case, while in the latter case it is slightly prolonged. Determination of the particle contents and their mass spectrum below the GUT scale is important to predict the proton lifetime.

description: Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Synthesewege für poröse Al2O3- und Fe2O3-basierte Mischmetalloxide und Spinelle der Übergangsmetalle Ni, Co, Zn, Mn und Cu untersucht. Die Erzeugung der Al2O3-basierten Materialien erfolge über eine Sol-Gel-Synthese, wohingegen die Erzeugung der Fe2O3-basierten Materialien über die Synthese von Preußisch Blau Analoga (PBA) erfolgte. Die so erzeugten Materialien wurden hinsichtlich ihres Verhaltens während der thermischen Behandlung untersucht, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Bildung der Spinellphase und der Stabilität der Porenstruktur. Die porösen Mischoxide und Spinelle wurden abschließend anhand einer Modellreaktion (CO-Oxidation) hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung als Katalysatoren in Oxidationsreaktionen untersucht. Unter den Sol-Gel-basierten Systemen erzielte das Mischoxid aus Mn3O4 und Al2O3 die höchsten CO-Umsätze. Demgegenüber wies das Mischoxid aus Co3O4 und Fe2O3 die höchsten CO-Umsätze unter den PBA-basierten Systemen auf.
description: In this work, synthesis routes for porous Al2O3- and Fe2O3-based mixed metal oxides and spinels of the transition metals Ni, Co, Zn, Mn and Cu were investigated. The Al2O3-based materials were formed via a sol-gel-synthesis, whereas the formation of the Fe2O3-based materials was achieved via the synthesis of prussian blue analogues (PBA). Furthermore, the synthesized materials were investigated regarding their behavior during the thermal treatment, especially with regards to the formation of the spinel phase and the stability of the porous structure. Finally, an investigation of the porous mixed metal oxides and spinels, regarding their applicability as catalysts in oxidation was conducted, utilizing a model reaction (CO-oxidation). Within the sol-gel-based systems, the mixed metal oxide of Mn3O4 and Al2O3 achieved the highest CO-conversion. On the other hand, the mixed metal oxide of Co3O4 and Fe2O3 achieved the highest CO-conversion within the PBA-based systems.

description: A digital twin (DT) plays a vital role in the advancement of manufacturers towards Industry 4.0. However, the creation and maintenance of DTs can be time-consuming. One approach to streamline this process is the utilization of process mining (PM) methods and techniques, which can automatically generate valuable information for DTs. Therefore, this paper aims to examine different approaches that augment DTs with PM and explore their effects. The review categorizes these approaches into three groups: theoretical approaches, approaches with laboratory case studies, and approaches with real-world case studies conducted by manufacturers. The review reveals that the use of PM can enhance the flexibility and sustainability of DTs. However, this improvement comes at the cost of requiring high-quality data and more data preparation efforts.

description: Abstract

This paper explores the intricate dynamics of energy-saving retrofit financing, specifically focusing on the interplay between building owner-occupants and retrofitting providers. This arrangement establishes a symbiotic relationship, where building owners stand to gain from reduced utility expenses. In return, retrofitting providers recoup investments through a portion of cost savings resulting from energy-efficient enhancements. The study hones in on LED lamps as an energy efficiency product, outlining their benefits, shorter payback periods, and susceptibility to variations in operating hours and power costs. Addressing the challenge of split incentives – where retrofitting providers seek quick returns while owners' gains accrue gradually – the study advocates the application of game theory. This theoretical framework, modeling strategic interactions among rational agents, aids in resolving misaligned incentives between retrofit providers and building owners. The goal is to design contracts that encourage desired behavior, maximizing outcomes for both parties. The principle is to identify Nash equilibria where mutual benefits are maximized, reconciling providers' preference for short-term contracts with owners' interest in long-term schemes. Empirical evidence underscores the superiority of equitable partnerships over purely profit-driven approaches. To this end, the paper calls for co-creation of participatory ecosystems aligned with these principles. While game theory furnishes tools to analyze incentive conflicts and model solutions, the key lies in participatory processes engaging stakeholders to jointly develop partnerships, leveraging the insights from game theory and behavioral science. This amalgamation holds promise for achieving equitable retrofit financing, ultimately contributing to enhanced energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions in the built environment.

description: Music-based games are an important genre in the gaming community and have become increasingly popular with games like SingStar and Guitar Hero. These types of games are usually based on reactive game mechanics, where the player must hit a certain note at a certain time in order to score points. In this contribution, we present a game prototype that goes beyond purely music-reactive game mechanics and focuses more on the creative aspect of making music in games. In particular, we developed a jump-and-run game that can be controlled with a gaming controller but also uses the player’s singing voice to interact with the game world. To this end, we estimate the pitch of a microphone signal in real time and use it as a creative input to the game. This input can be used to control parts of the game world, for instance by singing and adding stair-like elements that allow the player to overcome obstacles and reach the end of a game level. With our game prototype, we demonstrate how game designers can incorporate musical challenges into a well-known game environment while motivating musicians to creatively explore and practice their musical skills. Furthermore, motivated by our game prototype, we evaluate different real-time pitch estimation algorithms using common MIR metrics on a publicly available dataset to analyse what works best for our gaming scenario.

description: This article considers the links between Austrian literature and the First World War, particularly reactions to the war within the genres of poetry, narrative prose, drama and journalism. It will examine the militaristic and ideological involvement of writers and the propaganda they produced during the war (at the frontline, in the War Archives, as well as in the War Office or ''Kriegspressequartier''). This paper will also examine various concepts of the war: the expectations, fears, hopes and disappointments of the writers involved; affirmative stances towards the war; as well as a critical analysis and summary of the event. It will look at heroically stylised narratives of the frontline; the depictions of the horrors and sacrifices made; the literary imagination of the home front; and, finally, images of the war’s effect on key figures in the First Austrian Republic.

description: In this research work, the calculation of carbon dioxide emissions for trailer traffic based on sensor data is described. The data consist of trailer type, load, trip and route parameters. While the individual trailer parameters can be derived from the order management, the trip and route parameters are collected by frequently data. With this, the transport carbon footprint is calculated based on DIN EN 16258 by means of the ProBas database. The distributions of carbon dioxide emissions in trailer traffic are analysed and discussed. The results of the case study indicate that sensor-based modelling can be a useful tool for an improved transparency and estimation of carbon dioxide emissions.

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, die Wirkung einer Ammonium (NH4+)- und einer Nitrat (NO3-)-betonten Stickstoff (N)-Ernährung auf das Wurzelwachstum von Winterweizen in drei einjährigen Feldversuchen zu vergleichen. Beide N-Dünger, ein granulierter Kalkammonsalpeter (NO3--betont) und ein mit einem Urease- und Nitrifikationsinhibitor behandelter granulierter Harnstoff (NH4+-betont), wurden einheitlich mit jeweils 180 kg N ha-1 eingesetzt, unterschieden sich jedoch hinsichtlich der Applikationsstrategie. Zur Erfassung der Wurzelentwicklung wurden zu den BBCH-Stadien 32, 37 und 65 Bodenmonolithe bis zu einer Tiefe von 80 cm entnommen und die darin enthaltenen Wurzeln via der Software WinRHIZO® analysiert. Ein signifikanter Effekt der abweichenden Nmin-Versorgung auf das Wurzelwachstum der Weizenpflanzen konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden. Lediglich zu ausgewählten BBCH-Stadien konnten tendenzielle Unterschiede in der Wurzellängendichte zwischen beiden N-Düngervarianten erfasst werden.
description: The objective of the present study was to compare the effect of ammonium (NH4+)- and nitrate (NO3-)-based nitrogen (N)-nutrition on root growth of winter wheat in three one-year field trials. Both N-fertilizers, a granular calcium chloride nitrate (NO3--based) and a granular urea amended with urease and nitrification inhibitor, were applied at total rate of 180 kg N ha-1, but differed in temporal application strategy. To determine root development, soil monoliths were taken at BBCH stage 32, 37, and 65 up to a depth of 80 cm. The roots were separated and analyzed with the software WinRHIZO®. In total, no significant effect on root growth of wheat plants was observed concerning different N-supply. Only at selected BBCH stages, differences between root length density of both N-fertilizer variants could be revealed.
