Existential Ontology and Thinging Modeling in Software Engineering

Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)

description: This study is a sequel to a previous study entitled Thinging for Software Engineers, which showed that the notion of thing, in contrast to objectification, has some beneficial orientations in modeling. The incorporation of thinging in conceptual modeling is required to explain the roots of Heidegger s conception of things. This requires an understanding of Heidegger s existential ontology to identify any relationship to thinging. This paper is an exploration of existential ontology in search of further clarification of the concept of thinging. We start by reviewing the thinging machine (TM) introduced in Thinging for Software Engineers and provide a full example of its utilization in modeling an ordering system. We follow this with a discussion of the being (existence) of things in the word and Heidegger s interpretation of time as a possible horizon for any understanding whatsoever of being. We emphasize that the TM is not related directly to the Heideggerian notion of existence and its elaborate analysis of Dasein. However, there may be some benefit to studying non-Dasein things to provide a philosophical foundation to thinging, as utilized in TM modeling. Interestingly, the TM can be utilized to model existential ontology, thus increasing the level of understanding about them.

description: Concise route for the synthesis of (-)-isoaltholactone and (±)-5-epi-OBn-Goniotriol were described. Key features for the (-)-isoaltholactone synthesis involved; a) diastereoselective and enantioselective aldol reaction between chiral pyrrolidine substituted γ-benzyloxy vinylogous urethane enolate and cinnamaldehyde afforded highly stereoselective syn δ-lactone, b) allylic 1,3-strain controlled epoxidation of styryl alkene following the stereospecific opening of the epoxide assisted by a proximal benzyloxy group completed the synthesis. Reaction of simple pyrrolidine substituted γ-benzyloxy vinylogous urethane enolate and cinnamaldehyde gave anti δ-lactone. Epoxidation and epoxide opening of the styryl alkene substrate of anti δ-lactone derivative was also investigated, which led to the synthesis of (±)-5-epi-OBn-Goniotriol.

description: Ab-initio simulations of multiple heavy quarks propagating in a Quark-Gluon Plasma are computationally difficult to perform due to the large dimension of the space of density matrices. This work develops machine learning algorithms to overcome this difficulty by approximating exact quantum states with neural network parametrisations, specifically Neural Density Operators. As a proof of principle demonstration in a QCD-like theory, the approach is applied to solve the Lindblad master equation in the 1+1d lattice Schwinger Model as an open quantum system. Neural Density Operators enable the study of in-medium dynamics on large lattice volumes, where multiple-string interactions and their effects on string-breaking and recombination phenomena can be studied. Thermal properties of the system at equilibrium can also be probed with these methods by variationally constructing the steady state of the Lindblad master equation. Scaling of this approach with system size is studied, and numerical demonstrations on up to 32 spatial lattice sites and with up to 3 interacting strings are performed.

description: We consider the three-dimensional incompressible free-boundary magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in a bounded domain with surface tension on the boundary. We establish a priori estimate for solutions in the Lagrangian coordinates with $H^{3.5}$ regularity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result focusing on the incompressible ideal free-boundary MHD equations with surface tension. It is worth pointing out that the $1/2$-extra spatial regularity for the flow map $η$ is no longer required in this manuscript thanks to the presence of the surface tension on the boundary.

Functional and Phylogenetic Dimensions of Tree Diversity Across Environmental Gradients in Puerto Rico: Insights to community assembly processes

description: One goal central to ecology is to understand how species interactions and biophysical processes interact over vastly different scales to govern past, current, and future patterns of diversity.  Today, this goal is particularly critical given the degree to which rapid environmental change is affecting species distributions and community composition.  Natural environmental gradients provide excellent opportunities to uncover possible mechanistic links between species distributions and environmental conditions links that are invaluable for understanding how species may respond to environmental change.  This dissertation builds on recent approaches that combine information on species' functional traits and evolutionary histories to refine our view of how contemporary and historical processes jointly govern the distribution of biodiversity.  In the context of tropical tree communities of Puerto Rico, the following four chapters evaluate hypotheses about the distribution of different dimensions of diversity (i.e., species, functional, and phylogenetic) across regional abiotic gradients.  In chapter 1, I develop an island-wide molecular phylogeny for the native and naturalized trees of Puerto Rico, and show preliminary evidence that dry forests comprise an evolutionarily clustered subset of the total island tree flora.  In chapter 2, I examine functional and phylogenetic diversity across spatial resource gradients, and use these patterns to infer variation in community assembly processes along a gradient of water availability.  In chapter 3, I use temporal shifts of functional and phylogenetic diversity during secondary succession to infer the shifts in the processes underlying successional change in wet forests of Puerto Rico.  Finally, in chapter 4, I evaluate the linkages between species functional traits and their geographic distributions, and test the hypothesis that community-weighted mean trait values reflect the `optimal' strategy for a given set of abiotic conditions.  A theme common to all chapters is the idea that functional and phylogenetic dimensions of diversity can shed light on the processes underlying patterns of diversity better than more traditional metrics of species diversity.  I provide recommendations for future research directions at the end of each chapter and in the final conclusions.

description: We report on mask-less, high resolution etching of diamond surfaces, featuring sizes down to 10 nm. We use a scanning electron microscope (SEM) together with water vapor, which was injected by a needle directly onto the sample surface. Using this versatile and low-damage technique, trenches with different depths were etched. Cross sections of each trench were obtained by focused ion beam milling and used to calculate the achieved aspect ratios. The developed technique opens up the possibility of mask- and resist-less patterning of diamond for nano-optical and electronic applications.

description: Abstract

This research aims to (1) examine the optimization of waste transportation routes based on distance traveled, route, and fuel consumption in the Pangkep Regency area, (2) examine waste transportation services based on population and the generation of transported waste, (3) calculate CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions produced from waste transportation. This research took 4 densely populated sub-districts, namely Pangkajene, Minasate'ne, Bungoro, and Labakkang. This research uses Network Analysis to analyze existing routes for transporting waste, then create alternative routes starting from vehicle travel time, volume of waste transported, number of transportation cycles, vehicle speed, and distance traveled from TPS (Temporary Disposal Place) to TPA (Final Disposal Site). Meanwhile, the amount of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions produced by waste vehicles was analyzed using the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Tier-1 method. The research results show that (1) the total distance traveled on the existing route by waste vehicles is 361.77 km with 2 trips per day, and the total fuel consumption is 48,480 liters/year. Meanwhile, the total distance traveled for the optimization route is 443.34 km with 2 cycles per day and total fuel consumption is 191,436 liters/year. (2) The level of waste transportation service in existing conditions is 17,57% with the amount of waste transported to the Taraweang landfill at 21,09 Tons. Meanwhile, under optimization conditions, the service percentage increased by 186,45% and the amount of waste transported to the Taraweang landfill was 201,29 Tons. (3) CO2 emissions resulting from waste transportation in existing conditions are 12.94 tons/year. Meanwhile, CO2 emissions produced under optimization conditions are 51.07 tons/year.

description: We experimentally investigate the electronic transport properties of a three-terminal graphene Josephson junction. We find that self-heating effects strongly influence the behaviour of this multiterminal Josephson junction (MTJJ) system. We show that existing simulation methods based on resistively and capacitively shunted Josephson junction networks can be significantly improved by taking into account these heating effects. We also investigate the phase dynamics in our MTJJ by measuring its switching current distribution and find correlated switching events in different junctions. We show that the switching dynamics is governed by phase diffusion at low temperatures. Furthermore, we find that self-heating introduces additional damping which results in overdamped I-V characteristics when normal and supercurrents coexist in the device.

description: We lay the theoretical and mathematical foundations of the square root of Browniam motion and we prove the existence of such a process. In doing so, we consider Brownian motion on quantized noncommutative Riemannian manifolds and show how a set of stochastic processes on sets of complex numbers can be devised. This class of stochastic processes are shown to yield at the outset a Chapman-Kolmogorov equation with a complex diffusion coefficient that can be straightforwardly reduced to the Schrödinger equation. The existence of these processes has been recently shown numerically. In this work we provide an analogous support for the existence of the Chapman-Kolmogorov-Schrödinger equation for them, performing a Monte Carlo study. It is numerically seen as a Wick rotation can turn the heat kernel into the Schrödinger one, mapping such kernels through the corresponding stochastic processes. In this way, we introduce a new kind of improper complex stochastic process. This permits a reformulation of quantum mechanics using purely geometrical concepts that are strongly linked to stochastic processes. Applications to economics are also entailed.

description: By exploiting the properties of q-deformed Coxeter elements, the scattering matrices of affine Toda field theories with real coupling constant related to any dual pair of simple Lie algebras may be expressed in a completely generic way. We discuss the governing equations for the existence of bound states, i.e. the fusing rules, in terms of q-deformed Coxeter elements, twisted q-deformed Coxeter elements and undeformed Coxeter elements. We establish the precise relation between these different formulations and study their solutions. The generalized S-matrix bootstrap equations are shown to be equivalent to the fusing rules. The relation between different versions of fusing rules and quantum conserved quantities, which result as nullvectors of a doubly q-deformed Cartan like matrix, is presented. The properties of this matrix together with the so-called combined bootstrap equations are utilised in order to derive generic integral representations for the scattering matrix in terms of quantities of either of the two dual algebras. We present extensive case-by-case data, in particular on the orbits generated by the various Coxeter elements.

Creators: name: Hubbard, Andrew
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Mental health policy
subject: Confinement in mental health
subject: Mental illness

description: This thesis examines the role of risk in framing confinement and spatial control in contemporary mental health policy. It argues that geographers’ focus on ‘post-asylum’ geographies has meant that the continued role of confinement in mental health has not been sufficiently examined. While deinstitutionalisation resulted in a change to the spatial configuration of care for people with mental illness it did not mean that confinement of people with mental illness ceased. Indeed, as the thesis shows, there has been a renewed emphasis on confinement in a number of jurisdictions. The thesis argues that the concept and language of risk has been used in mental health policy to support this renewed focus on confinement. The thesis a) provides evidence for the continued and/or resurgent significance of confinement, b) explains how this resurgence relates to the increasing framing of mental health policy by risk and c) explains what this means in relation to the spatiality of social control of people with mental illness. The methodological approach is shaped by an emphasis on understanding the historical context of the use of risk in public policy. There are two key aspects of the methodology. First, the importance of ‘the history of the present’; this is a concern to understand the historical conditions of existence upon which contemporary practices exist. Second, a discursive analysis of public policy broadly framed around critical discourse analysis. The continued role of confinement and how it relates to risk in contemporary mental health systems is examined in two case studies, one England and Wales, the other Queensland, Australia. The thesis demonstrates that there has been a renewed focus on confinement in these jurisdictions, driven by a policy concern to exert greater control over risk and uncertainty. It rejects the argument proposed by Castel (1991), and other governmentality theorists, including Deleuze (1992) and Rose (2002), that moves towards decentralised control have been shaped by governance through the abstract factors of risk. In both of the case studies risk was used largely in an individualised sense, in which risk was identified as being embodied in particular individuals, rather than in an aggregative sense. The thesis concludes that the concept of risk has primarily been used to support the continuation of spatially fixed modes of control over people with mental illness, rather than to facilitate decentred forms of control of people with mental illness.

description: Non-cement pastes in the form of injectable materials have gained considerable attention in non-invasive regenerative medicine. Different osteoconductive bioceramics have been used as the solid phase of these bone pastes. Mesoporous bioactive glass can be used as an alternative bioceramic for paste preparation because of its osteogenic qualities. Plant-derived osteogenic agents can also be used in paste formulation to improve osteogenesis; however, their side effects on physical and physicochemical properties should be investigated. In this study, nano-bioactive glass powder was synthesized by a sol-gel method, loaded with different amounts of quercetin (0, 100, 150, and 200 μM), an antioxidant flavonoid with osteogenesis capacity. The loaded powder was then homogenized with a mixture of hyaluronic acid and sodium alginate solution to form a paste. We subsequently evaluated the rheological behavior, injectability, washout resistance, and in vitro bioactivity of the quercetin-loaded pastes. The washout resistance was found to be more than 96% after 14 days of immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) as well as tris-buffered and citric acid-buffered solutions at 25 °C and 37 °C. All pastes exhibited viscoelastic behavior, in which the elastic modulus exceeded the viscous modulus. The pastes displayed shear-thinning behavior, in which viscosity was more influenced by angular frequency when the quercetin content increased. Results indicated that injectability was much improved using quercetin and the injection force was in the range 20-150 N. Following 14 days of SBF soaking, the formation of a nano-structured apatite phase on the surfaces of quercetin-loaded pastes was confirmed through scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Overall, quercetin, an antioxidant flavonoid osteogenic agent, can be loaded onto the nano-bioactive glass/hyaluronic acid/sodium alginate paste system to enhance injectability, rheological properties, and bioactivity.

description: Challenging behaviors are considered predictors of poor outcomes and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are at increased risk for such behaviors.  There is limited research on how the functions of such behaviors and intervention strategies aimed at reducing them may differ by context.  Using a researcher-designed survey, this study examined parents’ and teachers’ descriptions of the function of, and strategies for, challenging behaviors among children with and without ASD.  A total of 488 respondents completed the survey, including 251 (51.5%) teachers and 237 (48.5%) parents. The participants were recruited in person and via social networking using snowballing and word-of-mouth. The study findings revealed that while both parents and teachers frequently identified avoidance/escape and attention-seeking as functions of challenging behaviors for children with and without ASD, there were some differences in their reports. Most notably, for children with ASD, 28% of parents reported children’s use of challenging behaviors to get attention at home whereas 2% reported this function at school, while 72% of the teachers indicated children’s use of challenging behaviors to seek attention at school and only 10% reported this function at home. The two most common intervention strategies identified by both teachers and parents were reinforcing positive effortful behavior and providing positive attention such as praise and acknowledgement.  These finding are critical as they show the differences in the opinions towards the use of challenging behaviors in the home and school settings as reported by parents and teachers and inform future intervention efforts aimed at addressing challenging behaviors in varying contexts.

description: This thesis uses methods from functional data analysis (FDA) to solve problems from three scientific areas of study. While the areas of application are quite distinct, the common thread of functional data analysis ties them together. The first chapter describes interactive open-source software for explaining and disseminating results of functional data analyses. Chapters two and three use curve alignment, or registration, to solve common problems in accelerometry and neuroimaging, respectively. The final chapter introduces a novel regression method for modeling functional outcomes that are trajectories over time. The first chapter of this thesis details a software package for interactively visualizing functional data analyses. The software is designed to work for a wide range of datasets and several types of analyses. This chapter describes that software and provides an overview ofFDA in different contexts. The second chapter introduces a framework for curve alignment, or registration, of exponential family functional data. The approach distinguishes itself from previous registration methods in its ability to handle dense binary observations with computational efficiency. Motivation comes from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging, in which accelerometer data provides valuable insights into the timing of sedentary behavior. The third chapter takes lessons learned about curve registration from the second chapter and use them to develop methods in an entirely new context: large multisite brain imaging studies. Scanner effects in multisite imaging studies are non-biological variability due to technical differences across sites and scanner hardware. This method identifies and removes scanner effects by registering cumulative distribution functions of image intensities values. In the final chapter the focus shifts from curve registration to regression. Described within this chapter is an entirely new nonlinear regression framework that draws from both functional data analysis and systems of ordinary equations. This model is motivated by the neurobiology of skilled movement, and was developed to capture the relationship between neural activity and arm movement in mice.

description: The recent measurements of $h \to Z γ$ from ATLAS and CMS show an excess of the signal strength $μ_Z = (σ\cdot{\cal B})_{\mathrm{obs}}/(σ\cdot{\cal B})_{\mathrm{SM}}=2.2\pm 0.7$, normalized as 1 in the standard model~(SM). If confirmed, it would be a signal of new physics (NP) beyond the SM. We study NP explanation for this excess. In general, for a given model, it also affects the process $h \to γγ$. Since the measured branching ratio for this process agrees well with the SM prediction, the model is severely constrained. We find that a minimally fermion singlets and doublet extended NP model can explain simultaneously the current data for $h \to Z γ$ and $h\to γγ$. There are two solutions. Although both solutions enhance the amplitude of $h \to Z γ$ to the observed one, in one of the solutions the amplitude of $h \to γγ$ flips sign to give the observ ed branching ratio. This seems to be a contrived solution although cannot be ruled out simply using branching ratio measurements alone. However, we find another solution that naturally enhances $h \to Z γ$ to the measured value, but keeps the amplitude of $h \to γγ$ close to its SM prediction. We also comment on the phenomenology associated with these new fermions.

description: With the inevitable adoption of information technology into all areas of human pursuit, the potential benefits for health care should not be overlooked. In Australia, details of most health care encounters are currently recorded for administrative purposes. This results in an impressive electronic data-bank that could provide a national resource for health service evaluation. ¶ ... ¶ The aims of the project were: · To examine the potential for using administrative data to generate outcome measures and surveillance indicators. · To investigate the logistics of gaining access to these data for the purpose of research. This to be achieved within the current ethical, political and financial framework. · To compare the Australian health-service data system with the current international state-of-the-art. · To develop suggestions for expansion of the present system as part of an integrated health record and information system. This system to manage patient records and provide data for quality management, treatment surveillance and cost-effectiveness evaluation as a routine activity. ¶ The thesis is presented in two parts. In the first part, a historical cohort study is described that involved patients with implantable medical devices. ... ¶ In the second part of the thesis, conclusions are presented about the potential uses and limitations of the existing system and its use as a basis for the development of a national Integrated Health Record and Information System (IHRIS). ...¶ ... Unfortunately, in Australia, the use of administrative data for this purpose is not currently feasible. The principal barrier is the existence of a culture within the Australian health care system which is not supportive of research and is deficient in quality and safety measures. ¶ Recent initiatives by both the Commonwealth and state governments have supported the introduction of measures to improve quality and safety in health care. It is argued here that an Integrated Health Record and Information System (IHRIS) would provide an essential component of any such scheme. The results of this study have important policy implications for health care management in both the administrative and clinical domains.

description: The defossilization of the open-sea ship traffic can most definitely only be achieved with alternative energy carriers. Besides synthetic fuels, battery-electric propulsion is a much-discussed measure, especially for smaller vessels and short passages. However, there is no consensus on quantitative ship characteristics that would allow for the application of batteries instead of a fuel-based solution. Therefore, limitations of battery propulsion systems are assessed for 45 vessels with a range of transport capacities. The most common marine battery technologies are evaluated both economically and environmentally by directly comparing their performances with state-of-the-art combustion engines. Mass and volume limitations of the ship are monitored, and emerging opportunity costs are quantified in addition to capital and operating expenses. The application of battery-electric propulsion systems is found not to be limited by the vessel size but mostly by the operated passage length. While distances of up to 15,000 km are technically achievable, economic limitations are effectively reducing the area of application to a maximum of 10,000 km. However, when comparing battery solutions with conventional diesel combustion engines, economic competitiveness is only observed for passages of up to 2,500 km when including a carbon tax and forecasting optimistic battery developments.

description: For positive integers $d$ and $p$ such that $d \ge p$, let $\mathbb{R}^{d \times p}$ denote the set of $d \times p$ real matrices, $I_p$ be the identity matrix of order $p$, and $V_{d,p} = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^{d \times p} \mid x'x = I_p\}$ be the Stiefel manifold in $\mathbb{R}^{d \times p}$. Complete asymptotic expansions as $d \to \infty$ are obtained for the normalizing constants of the matrix Bingham and matrix Langevin probability distributions on $V_{d,p}$. The accuracy of each truncated expansion is strictly increasing in $d$; also, for sufficiently large $d$, the accuracy is strictly increasing in $m$, the number of terms in the truncated expansion. Lower bounds are obtained for the truncated expansions when the matrix parameters of the matrix Bingham distribution are positive definite and when the matrix parameter of the matrix Langevin distribution is of full rank. These results are applied to obtain the rates of convergence of the asymptotic expansions as both $d \to \infty$ and $p \to \infty$. Values of $d$ and $p$ arising in numerous data sets are used to illustrate the rate of convergence of the truncated approximations as $d$ or $m$ increases. These results extend recently-obtained asymptotic expansions for the normalizing constants of the high-dimensional Bingham distributions.
